Over the years, Zhao Benshan has become popular with too many people, not to mention his apprentices and apprentice daughters-in-law, Fan Wei, Yan Xuejing, Yu Yuexian, Wang Yajie and others are also well-known through cooperation with him, and also about Tingna, Bi Chang, Wu Yidi, Wang Junping and other beautiful actresses who have emerged. Once upon a time, there was an actor who was highly praised by Zhao Benshan, and the degree of favor was probably Song Xiaobao Xiao Shenyang and other beloved disciples also looked up to him. Although he is not Zhao Benshan's apprentice, he is included in Zhao Benshan's sketches, movies, and TV series. The one I am talking about today is Guo Tiecheng.
Compared with Xiao Shenyang, Song Xiaobao, Wang Xiaoli, Wen Song and other popular apprentices of Zhao Benshan, the name Guo Tiecheng may be a little strange to everyone. But when you see his looks, you will feel a sense of déjà vu. Honestly, compared to Uncle Benshan's apprentices, he is much better in appearance and acting. Once because of a lot of cooperation, he was also misrepresented that he was Zhao Benshan's apprentice, and later he used the word "illusion" to dispel all the doubts of the outside world.
Zhao Benshan, Fan Wei and Gao Xiumin were once known as the "Iron Triangle", and the three of them left many classic programs at the Spring Festival Gala. In fact, they starred in several TV series together in the early days of cooperation, such as "The Chief of a Township" and "Late At Night", which are all rural themes, and the degree of good looks does not have to be poor in "Liu Laogen" and "Rural Love".
In these two dramas, there are guo Tiecheng's roles, and Zhao Benshan has a lot of rival plays. Whether it is the "pillar" in "The Mayor of a Township" or the "rich" in "Late At Night", they are all authentic peasant youths, and Guo Tiecheng also presents the simplicity and kindness of the role, and the acting skills are quite natural.
For Zhao Benshan's apprentice, if it is still common to shoot TV dramas and movies with his master, it is a great fortune to be promoted to the CCTV Spring Festival Gala, and these many people envy and envy the treatment, Guo Tiecheng already had nineteen years ago.
At the Spring Festival Gala of CCTV in 1997, Zhao Benshan took Guo Tiecheng to perform the skit "Red Sorghum Model Team", do you still have an impression? The main actors are Zhao Benshan and Fan Wei, and there are a bunch of actors in the back of the group of plays, of which the most drama is Guo Tiecheng, and Zhao Benshan and Fan Wei have opponent plays. His expressive facial expressions and body movements aside, the dark white cow outfit is enough to grab the camera.
However, after all, it is the role of playing soy sauce in the sketch, although the camera grabbing did not bring much popularity to Guo Tiecheng, it can only be regarded as a very memorable experience in his acting career.
After cooperating in the sketch, Guo Tiecheng also appeared in the comedy movie "Male and Female Director" starring Zhao Benshan and Song Dandan, playing the role of "second carpenter". Here to say more, Zhao Benshan so many female partners, including Gao Xiumin, always feel that the most spark with him is Song Dandan, the Spring Festival Gala without them really lost a lot of points of view and fun.
The play that I will talk about next, everyone has definitely heard or seen, is Zhao Benshan's "Liu Laogen" series. There are many impressive roles in the two parts of "Liu Laogen", "Liu Laogen" played by Zhao Benshan, "Lilac" played by Gao Xiumin, "Big Pepper" played by Li Jing, and "Mountain Apricot" played by Yan Xuejing. And the two sons of "Liu Laogen" also have quite a lot of scenes, "Dakui" is Zhao Benshan's beloved disciple Wang Xiaobao, and "Erkui" is played by Guo Tiecheng.
Compared with "Dakui", Guo Tiecheng played "Erkui" more dramatically, and joined forces with "XiaoYi" to oust his father from power and replace him, preventing "Liu Laogen" from running a villa and being driven out of the house, because of the many contradictions between business problems and his father, "Liu Laogen" offended "Feng Township Chief" and was implicated and fell, and took advantage of the loophole to become the "general manager" of the villa. Compared with "Dakui", some people feel that "Erkui" attracts hatred, and always opposes his own father and demolishes the platform of "Liu Laogen". Some people also think that the simple and frank personality of "Erkui" is actually very cute, and it is the "fighting wits and courage" of the father and son throughout the play that has increased a lot of points of view and effect.
After working with Zhao Benshan so many times, Guo Tiecheng finally made a small fire with the role of "Erkui" in "Liu Laogen", although there was no big hit, at least the audience knew that there was an actor like him. And don't forget, when he was praised, a group of apprentices of Zhao Benshan were still playing soy sauce.
Don't know if you found it? The "Liu Laogen" series is Guo Tiecheng's famous works, and Zhao Benshan's praise for him is evident, but it is also the last play he cooperated with Zhao Benshan, and the two have never cooperated again. After cooperating with Zhao Benshan for many times, there are actually many people who part ways, Gao Xiumin, Huang Xiaojuan, Fan Wei, Song Dandan, Yan Xuejing, and Guo Tiecheng is not as famous as them, and not many people have noticed it.
Nowadays, Zhao Benshan's familiar faces in the play are his apprentices and apprentice daughters-in-law, are the acting skills and strength of those people stronger than Yan Xuejing and Guo Tiecheng? I don't think so. "Fat water does not flow into the fields of outsiders", instead of praising outsiders, it is better to praise their own apprentices, which is also reasonable. As for Zhao Benshan's subsequent failure to use Guo Tiecheng, only the parties concerned are the most aware of the twists and turns, and the only thing that cannot be denied is the fact that Zhao Benshan was indeed Guo Tiecheng's "Bole".
After leaving Zhao Benshan, Guo Tiecheng and Gao Xiumin, who played his "little aunt" in "Liu Laogen", collaborated on another play, "Holy Water Lakeside". In "The Shore of the Holy Water Lake", Guo Tiecheng played the role of "Golden Gui", a "village chief" who was not very good at his heart, but in the end, "the prodigal son turned back" and became a good person. Although this drama counts as another masterpiece of Guo Tiecheng, it cannot be compared with the influence of "Liu Laogen".
After acting for so many years as a rural youth, Guo Tiecheng once became a "professional household in rural drama". Cobain came from a good acting skill, the image temperament is also very masculine and tough, he gradually began to transform and found his own role positioning. In the war drama "Yan'an Hoe Rape" broadcast in 2009, Guo Tiecheng starred as the male number one, a brave and resourceful "security director" - Zhou Jin, and the performance of rigidity and softness made people shine. The actress who played the opposite role with him in the play was Chen Zihan, who had beauty and acting skills, but unfortunately she had not really become popular.
In recent years, Guo Tiecheng can be called a "spy war professional household", and has excellent interpretations in many anti-war dramas and spy war dramas. In "Black Rose", he played a traitorous spy leader "Li Yiqun"; in "Saving the Expeditionary Force", he played an old squad leader of the reconnaissance squad "Li Wannian"; in "Hanging 1943", he played a chivalrous anti-Japanese hero "Yellow Feather Crane"; and in "Lock man", he incarnated as a "Lei Han" with extraordinary skills, and his great love and righteousness were quite touching.
Whether it is a sinister agent, a fierce villain or a revolutionary, or a predatory soldier, Guo Tiecheng has performed his own unique style, and the tough guy temperament is the most scarce actor type today. I think his image temperament is quite similar to Xing Jiadong, the actor of "Wu Liuyi", who is an actor with both acting skills and charm.
In addition to acting in "spy dramas", Guo Tiecheng has also portrayed the roles of many soldiers, such as "Ye Shuyang", the leader of the Shihong Regiment in "Peace Mission", and "Su Changfeng", the criminal police captain in "Tracking Down to the End". Here in particular, let's talk about the drama "Tracing to the End", in which the big villain and gang boss "Qin Haiyang" is played by Wu Xiubo "Uncle Bo", cold and murderous can't help but think of "Nie Mingyu" played by Chen Daoming in "Black Hole", the front and back roles can play three points, the real strength faction.
In the "Woman Entering the City" broadcast in 13 years, Guo Tiecheng played a "country man" with a knife mouth and a tofu heart, a temper and a soft ear, Li Dake, and his "daughter-in-law" was played by Pan Yuchen, the wife of the famous actor Hou Yong.
Carefully calculated, it has been fourteen years since Guo Tiecheng last cooperated with Zhao Benshan, during which he also filmed a lot of scenes, many of which were still popular dramas. Excellent acting, healthy image, private low-key, the circle of popularity and reputation are excellent, but has not been on fire.
In Guo Tiecheng's Weibo, there is such a sentence, which I have seen and admired very much.
Some people are popular idols, stars but not real actors; some people are not so famous, and even can't play the main role, but they have acting skills and dramas, worthy of the two words of actors. Artists are easy to do, actors are difficult to be. For a good actor, the drama is bigger than the sky, always maintaining a child's heart in the performance, not being swayed by fame and fortune.
Acting steadily, playing the role you want to play, not relying on anyone, even if it is not red, there is nothing to regret.
