"Keyun" Cai Guoqing, whose mental outlook has been leading the whole network for 20 years, how did he do it?
In the time when he did not meet the third season of "Through the Thorns", he became the idol of "Mother's Strict Selection" with the image of "middle-aged sweet beans and ageless male gods".
After landing on the stage of "overcoming difficulties", he made many post-90s and post-00s energetic with clear eyes, bright smiles, naïve mentality and overly lively performance, praising his "spiritual outlook leading the whole network for twenty years".
He is the only post-60s generation in the third season - Cai Guoqing. He is proud of his age: "I'm so proud, the second half of my life has just begun, and I'm going to bloom on this stage." ”
Debuted as a child star
Cai Guoqing was born in an art family, his father is a baritone actor, and his mother is a designer. He managed to "paste" a pair of godly eyes from his mother's face, and his voice was blue and blue, clearer than his father's. Cai Guoqing's initial artistic path was designated by his father and had high hopes.
Cai Guoqing took a public photo with his parents, and his big clear eyes are too similar to his mother!
When he was 10 years old, he was playing in the courtyard courtyard in Beijing, when his father, who had left Cai Guoqing for a whole year due to work, suddenly came home, saw his son, rushed up to hug and sob, this was the first time Cai Guoqing saw his father cry. Afterwards, when he asked why, his father said, "I was disappointed in myself, it was my negligence, you should be practicing or singing, and you should not waste time playing in the yard." Hearing this reason, Cai Guoqing's joy was immediately reduced by 50%.
At the age of 11, Cai Guoqing had his first record.
At the age of 13, he had graduated from the junior class of the acting department of the Central Academy of Drama and was assigned to the China Children's Art Theater as an actor, receiving a salary of 37 yuan per month.
At the age of 23, he appeared on the stage of the CCTV Spring Festival Gala for the first time, and Gu Jianfen wrote a song "Go to the Far Side" for him, according to Cai Guoqing's recollection: "At that time, it was popular after singing, and when I rode to work a year later, more than 200 people behind me chased me on bicycles. ”
The people who chased him that year, in addition to cyclists, also sang, such as Na Ying. At that time, he collaborated with Na Ying on "Wangchun", and Na Ying's handsome temperament stunned Na Ying, and the two once jointly mentioned this unrequited love in an interview program, Na Ying said: "At that time, Sha Guang (the composer of the song "Wangchun") thought we were quite suitable, so I looked at Cai Guoqing (expectantly), and he said 'you think too much'. Cai Guoqing responded on the spot: "Indeed, I think I think too much, because I didn't fancy you, I fancy your sister Na Xin." ”
Lovers are hard to be satisfied, and the two have since become brothers who can sleep on bunk beds, encourage each other, and work hard for their careers.
Still in 1991, at the Lantern Festival Gala, Cai Guoqing sang "365 Blessings" with the attribute of "pension insurance".
In 1999, he encountered another "pension insurance" golden song "Always Go Home to See" at the CCTV Spring Festival Gala, these two popular songs "welded" Cai Guoqing in the spotlight, the center of the stage.
So far, Cai Guoqing has appeared on the stage of the CCTV Spring Festival Gala 23 times, and Ni Ping, who has cooperated with him many times, said: "Xiao Cai is more particular about dressing than anyone, people who don't know him think he is an idol singer, and those who know him know that he is an artist." v In Ni Ping's eyes, Cai Guoqing is a person who respects the Spring Festival Gala stage very much, not only takes the repertoire seriously, but also does the costume design himself.
He once showed his design work on a TV show, and his home has a wardrobe dedicated to storing costumes for the Spring Festival Gala, each of which is meticulously marked with the year. the red scarf he wore on stage in 1991, which he still wore on stage last year;
The red silk scarf worn on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala in 1991 was well preserved by Cai Guoqing and continued to be worn when he appeared on stage last year.
Cai Guoqing re-wore the battle robe he designed at the Spring Festival Gala in "Youth Can Expect"
A yellow suit when he sang "Into My Dream Childhood" at the CCTV Spring Festival Gala in 1993 was his favorite, and the neckline was a pleated draping design, which is still out of date;
When he sang "Can't Live Without You" in 1996, the Prince Charming suit was designed by him himself, inspired by the red dress of the British prince seen in a pictorial magazine;
In 2010, he walked onto the stage wearing a red sweater, and the colored stones on the sweater were also sewn by his own hands. Cai Guoqing bluntly said that he has a pursuit of beauty: "Whether I have done art in my life or not, I always believe that life should be beautiful." ”
"Self-consistent mentality" overcomes difficulties
Child star debuted and has been in the entertainment industry for more than 40 years, for Cai Guoqing, smooth sailing is just a myth.
In 1991, Cai Guoqing became famous overnight on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala. Also that year, "Beijing Radio and Television" published an article "Sweet Singer, Dead Man", naming Cai Guoqing as "a cream boy, too feminine". In that era of print media, the influence of this report was comparable to today's "Internet violence".
In 1991, Cai Guoqing was slandered by a negative report and almost ruined his acting career.
Cai Guoqing, who grew up in praise, was not immune to "slander", and he collapsed that year, insomnia, sensitivity, self-doubt, and even depressive symptoms: "At that time, I couldn't figure out why the reporter called me a 'coquettish' man, too ruthless." At that time, I didn't know how to defend rights, so I could only hide in a corner and cry. ”
In order to prove his masculinity, he put down the aura of "overnight fame", enlisted in the army two years later, became a member of the People's Liberation Army General Political Song and Dance Troupe, concentrated on singing, polished his singing skills, and quickly became the youngest national first-level solo singer at that time. No matter where the golden voice is played, it will always get a supporter.
Despite this, the music industry still carries the prejudice of "cream boy" against him, recalling this time shrouded in "feminine shadows", Cai Guoqing said frankly: "At that time, the four words 'cream boy' could almost ruin my artistic career. ”
In Taoguang Yanghui, Cai Guoqing met Liu Xiaoqing by chance and got her call: "You want to stand in the center of the stage, why are you?" While receiving applause from the audience, you must also withstand criticism from all sides! You have to learn to accept all external voices and then be yourself. ”
Cai Guoqing listened, and he chose to firmly believe in himself: "Successful people are self-convincing, being their own masters, and when facing suppression and sarcasm, they can think about whether they are really wrong." Life is short, and he refuses to waste time on meaningless things.
In 2004, He Dong, the author of that article, published an article in the media entitled "Bow and apologize to Cai Guoqing". The article reads: I was too reckless and arbitrary, which brought great harm to Cai Guoqing. If I have the opportunity, I will bow to him in person as a sincere apology. Four years later, Cai Guoqing was invited to be a guest on an interview program hosted by He Dong, and in front of the world's audience, He Dong bowed to Cai Guoqing and apologized.
After cutting off the thorns in his career, Cai Guoqing's family was in a situation again. In 2008, Cai's mother was diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease, and in order to take care of his mother, he had to give up some acting work to make more time with his mother, cook for her, walk with her, and wash her feet. The days of taking care of the mother as the axis passed nearly 10 years in the blink of an eye.
When Cai Guoqing was active on the screen, he was 48 years old and took his 5-year-old son to participate in reality shows. As soon as the program started, some people complained that "Cai Guoqing has been angry, and now he can only borrow his son to gain attention." In the face of bad comments, Cai Guoqing has long been light: "I only know that recording this show has completely recorded the life picture of myself and my son getting along day and night for three months, which is enough to make my 2016 have no regrets." ”
He is not caught up in bad comments, as long as the occasion is appropriate, he will still talk about his son generously: "I have two sons, the eldest son is 12 years old, his height has reached 178cm, he is still a top student, and he is exempted from the examination every semester for 6 consecutive years in primary school, and he is directly promoted to junior high school because of his excellent grades." He has also won many awards in robotics competitions, painting, rock climbing, skiing, and skateboarding, and his family needs to make a special place for his trophies. He said with pride in his eyes.
After walking through the first half of life and often encountering setbacks, Cai Guoqing has long seen the development trajectory of life and is good at self-consistency: "The noblest quality of brave people is to live dashingly in the face of wind and rain, setbacks, and abuse." By now, I have become enlightened and accept those who don't like me. I am always grateful to those who like me. ”
Returning still a teenager
Recording "Through Thorns" at the age of 54, Cai Guoqing said: "The second half of my life has just begun, and I want to bloom on this stage. ”
He did it. On the first stage, in order to get close to young people, he chose to sing and dance Jay Chou's "Mojito" to try to reshape "Cai Guoqing", although he still jumped out of the solemn sense of "National Cellar 1573", but his youthfulness has been widely publicized.
Cai Guoqing single-handedly made the show funny, and his contributions included in the laughs included but were not limited to: "old-school cloud-style crazy acting". With this "crazy acting skills", Cai Guoqing was hotly searched, and when he was banned as "Cai Keyun", he once again showed a good mentality, ridiculing himself on Weibo: "Is I cute by Cai Keyun today?" ”
In the face of his "Cai Keyun" acting skills, Cai Guoqing posted a Weibo self-ridicule, and his mentality was envied by the post-90s and post-00s.
When Yigong formed a team, he looked naïve, joined the Chen Chusheng tribe under the demagogy of Wang Yaoqing, successfully broke up 0713, and formed 0917 with Chen Chusheng, Zhang Yuan, and Yu Haoming, and he even sincerely explained: "Their vote count is 917 votes, September 17 is my birthday, I like this number very much, so I joined." As everyone knows, this unintentional move has achieved the first famous scene since the show was launched.
"The Brother Who Broke Through Thorns" Yigong, 0917 combination poster.
After successfully joining 0917, Cai Guoqing couldn't hide his excitement on the bus, and felt that his temperament was perfect for this combination: "Although my brother is a Benliu person, I am also a happy boy." ”
When Yigong was rehearsing, he was the first to rush to the training room, and after warming up by raising his hand, bouncing, and lifting sideways, he saw that his younger brothers had not yet come, and he was not in a hurry to urge, but jumped around the door, looking for a circle of fun and then coming back, and found that it was still only himself, he calmly sent WeChat: "A few little brothers, where are you?" During the formal rehearsal, he completely put down the frame of his predecessors and listened carefully to the guidance of his younger brothers.
"The Brother Who Broke Through Thorns" cooperated with 0917 on the stage "Innumerable", Cai Guoqing carefully listened to the acting guidance of his younger brothers and sealed "Cai Keyun" offstage.
Some people say that people who don't care about their age will not rely on the old to sell the old, which is suitable for Cai Guoqing. In the program, he can often be seen wearing a dopamine-colored pajama with a smiley face pattern, walking around the bedroom, he said: "This is my heart, I like color in my heart, life should be colorful." Also, it was given by my son, who told me to smile no matter what my grades are. ”
Instead of internal friction, it is better to Cai Guoqing.
"The Brother Who Broke Through Thorns" Ergong stage, Cai Guoqing performed "Zhang San's Song", and the big show tap dance.
Coming to the beginning of the second half of his life, Cai Guoqing is very busy, busy making friends with young people, busy becoming a teenager. Guest of "Mao Xuewang", Cai Guoqing brought his own slippers, and the details were touching.
The gifts he brought to the two of them all contained elaborate meanings: he brought persimmons from home to Mao Buyi, hoping that he would go from "not easy" to "everything is good", and also brought apples, hoping that they would be "safe and sound"; The sofa was not hot, he controlled the process again, and took the initiative to talk about today's outfit, "I almost collided with Li Xueqin today, and then I thought about simplicity and wore a V-neck sweater, which means that the VIP is coming", after saying that, it was a laugh in the sea; When Huang Xiaoming in the next program asked Xu Guanghan in an elder tone "when are you going to get married and have children", Cai Guoqing easily shared in "Mao Xuewang" the embarrassment of chasing girls when he was studying Chinese opera, and empathized with the post-90s generation that their survival was not easy, such as warm relatives and confidant big brothers.
Recording "Bloody", I specially put on a V-neck sweater and said that I was a VIP.
Cai Guoqing once published a personal biography "Song Like Youth", in which there is a gift from a friend: "Returning to childlike heart is the greatest triumph in life." He fulfilled each other with this word.
