In 1995, when Chen Baoguo's acting career was in full swing, a storm suddenly pushed him to the trough of his career.
That year, the famous director Guo Baochang directed his masterpiece "Mansion Gate", which he had been brewing for 22 years, and he insisted that Chen Baoguo play the role of the actor Bai Jingqi. Chen Baoguo is extremely enthusiastic about this play, and he is determined to use superb acting skills to perfectly interpret the role.
However, at the beginning of the start-up, an unexpected event suddenly happened. The investors objected to Guo Baochang's identity and qualifications, claiming that they found violations in the contract, demanded that Guo Dao compensate 2 million yuan in liquidated damages, and forcibly expelled him from the crew.
"This is the script I wrote, why don't I have the right to participate in the filming, and why do I have to bear the so-called liquidated damages?" Guo Baochang asked angrily, but in the face of the powerful capital forces, any protest he made seemed weak.
When Guo Baochang was forced to leave, Chen Baoguo still didn't know it. When he learned the truth, he was furious and decided to protect the rights and interests of the director.
Before the words fell, Chen Baoguo slammed the conference table and made a heavy loud noise.
Although Chen Baoguo's brave struggle did not bring Guo Baochang back to the crew, he paid a heavy price for defending the director's rights and interests. In order to suppress him, the investor did not hesitate to fabricate all kinds of rumors and slander, framing him for misbehaving and domineering on the set.
For a time, all kinds of abuse filled the entertainment industry, completely discrediting Chen Baoguo's reputation.
Since then, he has been given a cold reception in the entertainment industry, and for five years, no work has allowed him to show his strength. This popular idol has fallen into a low point in his career, and the road ahead is dark.
Compared with Chen Baoguo's bumpy struggle, Guo Baochang's journey of creating "Mansion Gate" is more bumpy and tortuous, and fate always seems to be playing tricks on him.
Guo Baochang's original name was Li Baochang, and when he was young and ignorant, he encountered a major change in his life. When he was two years old, his biological father died on the street due to hunger and cold, and his mother gave him to someone else with tears in her eyes.
Since then, he has lived a life of wandering.
Fortunately, fate did not completely abandon him, and he was finally taken in by the Guo family and reborn. In that era of scarcity of materials, although he worked hard all day long, he secretly brewed a dream in his heart - to write his life experience into a grand family legend.
So, in his spare time, Guo Baochang began to devote himself to writing. With his palm-like rough palms, he wrote his mental journey on the paper one by one. However, when the first draft was finally completed, a sudden political movement burned it to the ground, and he himself was imprisoned.
It wasn't until after the spring breeze and rain that Guo Baochang was reborn and began the creation of the second draft. He poured all his energy into this work, cherishing every word and earnestly every word.
However, the good times did not last long, and his wife broke with him, and on impulse, all his hard work was ruined.
With a "snap", Guo Baochang covered his face, sat on the ground, and tears burst out of his eyes.
Just as he gave up, a glimmer of hope appeared. In 1994, the script of "The Mansion Gate" was finally close to perfection, the funds were in place, and everything was ready to start filming.
But at this juncture, the investor had doubts about Guo Baochang's identity and ability, and asked him to pay high liquidated damages.
In the conference room, Guo Baochang was surrounded by people, and he was desperate to find that the work he had created no longer belonged to him, and all his efforts could be in vain.
In the face of the powerful forces of capital, any resistance he made seemed powerless. Fate seems to be playing tricks on him forever, is his dream going to come to naught?
Although Guo Baochang was extremely sad about being forced to leave the crew of "Mansion Gate", he did not give up his 22 years of hard work. A glimmer of life emerged, and CCTV greatly appreciated the script and decided to restart filming.
Guo Baochang naturally became their inevitable choice, and they sincerely invited this respected director to redirect.
On the other end of the microphone, Chen Baoguo was at a low point, was slandered and smeared, and did not take over any role for five years. When he received a call from Director Guo, he was immediately stunned, and slapped himself in the face in disbelief, finally confirming that all this was true.
The indissoluble bond between the two can be traced back to an accident when Chen Baoguo was young. That year, Chen Baoguo went to the Chinese opera interview with apprehension, for fear that his humble background would become a stumbling block.
Just when he was timid and hesitant, a middle-aged man took the initiative to comfort him.
"Your appearance and temperament are flawless, but why are you so inferior at this moment? The man said with a pleasant face.
Chen Baoguo replied sincerely: "The contestants participating in this audition are all talented people, and I am only a worker from a humble background, it is really difficult to reach such a lofty palace as Chinese opera, and I feel powerless about it."
After hearing this, the middle-aged man smiled indifferently: "Welcome to join the big family of Chinese opera, your talent will definitely bring you unexpected gains." "
It wasn't until the man reported himself to his home that Chen Baoguo knew that he was one of the judges of Chinese opera. In this way, a chance opportunity, coupled with outstanding appearance, was destined to the beginning of Chen Baoguo's acting life.
Today, a few years later, when Chen Baoguo received Guo Baochang's invitation again, he had mixed feelings in his heart. This director not only changed the trajectory of his life, but also became a noble person in his life.
Now that he can fight side by side with his benefactor, he is naturally extremely excited and excited.
For Chen Baoguo, the actor's professional ethics and persistent pursuit of artistic ideals are the life creed he adheres to all the way. In order to interpret the role more wooden, he can even hurt himself.
still remembers that during the filming of the movie "Divine Whip", in order to create the image of a gangster, Chen Baoguo ingeniously pretended to be blind in his left eye. He sharpened a white button with a knife and resolutely embedded it in his left eye socket.
"Ahh The severe pain made Chen Baoguo cry out involuntarily, and his eyes soon trickled blood. But in this tortured situation, he gritted his teeth and unswervingly insisted on finishing the filming.
Seeing this, the director and the staff were moved by his dedication and perseverance, and applauded one after another. And it is this dedication to art that has also won the respect and respect of countless people.
However, the sky is unpredictable. After the shooting, Chen Baoguo's eyesight was much worse than before, especially his left eye, which was often unable to open. The prejudice of others against him was fleeting, and he was instead admired for his fanatical devotion to art.
In the face of doubts and criticism from the outside world, Chen Baoguo has never wavered in his ideals and beliefs. He regards the applause of the audience as a source of motivation, and constantly breaks through and challenges himself in order to present a higher quality artwork.
When starring in "Mansion Gate", Chen Baoguo once said boldly: "Don't talk about the salary, I am willing to star in this good drama for free." "He disregarded financial interests and wholeheartedly pursued pure artistic ideals.
On set, the dedicated artist is always focused and conscientious. Whenever he takes a break, he chews his lines repeatedly to be at his best. His eyes often sparkle with ideals, which is what has sustained him through the difficult years.
Once, a staff member accidentally knocked over a prop on the ground, and Chen Baoguo immediately put down his work when he saw this, and quickly leaned over to pick up the debris on the ground. The staff said guiltily: "Teacher Chen, just concentrate on your business, and we will handle these small things."
For him, the partners in the crew are like relatives, and this friendship of sharing weal and woe is touching. And it is with this dedication and devotion to the cause of art that he finally won the glory and glory of today.
With the relaunch of the series "Mansion Gate" by CCTV, the fate lines of directors Chen Baoguo and Guo Baochang are intertwined again. The two have not seen each other for many years, and they are full of emotion in their hearts.
The crew lineup can be described as unprecedentedly luxurious, and industry heavyweights such as Zhang Yimou and Chen Kaige have taken the initiative to add weight to this series. Their arrival is the greatest affirmation and support for Guo Baochang's creation.
"Lao Guo, I haven't seen you for many years, and your script impresses us deeply. It's a blessing to be here for you!" Zhang Yimou said with a smile, his simple face was filled with joy from the bottom of his heart.
Guo Baochang endured the excitement in his heart, hugged his old friend heavily, and tears rolled in his eyes: "Yimou, you and I have been friends for decades, and you have been kind to me for decades.
On the set, there was a jubilant and enthusiastic scene. When Chen Baoguo saw this scene, his eyes were already moist. He knew that this support and affirmation had not come easily, and that they had been isolated and now celebrated by so many people.
"Director Chen, Director Guo, we are your loyal fans, looking forward to your masterpieces!" The staff gathered around Chen Baoguo, shouting and applauding.
Chen Baoguo nodded, his eyes resolute and persistent. He has always been like this, never loud or pretentious, but the joy in his heart at this moment is really difficult to hide.
Finally, the director gave an order, and the filming work officially started. Chen Baoguo immediately entered the role, and the familiar, vicissitudes of life look reappeared on his face, as if time had gone back.
And Guo Baochang was always looking at him, and his eyes revealed sincere relief and approval.
"Good, very good! That's what it feels like!" The director nodded in satisfaction, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly.
Outside the venue, the cheers of the audience were deafening. Someone shouted: "It's so exciting! Director Chen and Director Guo are destined to be a perfect match!"
This scene is very similar to the scene when Guo Baochang was surrounded and questioned a few years ago.
He hugged this best friend tightly, and the eyes of the two met at this moment, turning into the interweaving of fate and the witness of time, never separated.
For Chen Baoguo, being able to fight side by side with Guo Baochang is his greatest honor and gift. The friendship between the two has long transcended the boundaries between ordinary friends, and they are each other's closest confidants.
"If there was no Director Guo, I wouldn't be where I am today. Years later, when Chen Baoguo was asked about his relationship with Guo Baochang, he said sincerely, his tone full of sincere gratitude.
Looking back, the bits and pieces of those years are vivid. Chen Baoguo clearly remembers that he was just an ordinary worker back then, with a shabby life and a bleak future.
And a phone call from director Guo Baochang changed the trajectory of his entire life.
Although he was wronged for defending Guo Dao's rights and interests, and his career fell into a five-year trough, Chen Baoguo never wavered in his adherence to his beliefs. It is this persistence and persistence that made him finally return to the top step by step.
It can be said that Chen Baoguo used his life to interpret what the profession of an actor should look like. He is never fooled by monetary gain and is awe-inspiring in his dedication to the role.
In order to present a higher quality work of art, he even did not hesitate to harm himself.
"Ahh During the filming of "Divine Whip", in order to create an image of a "gangster", Chen Baoguo once pretended to be blind in his left eye, and resolutely embedded a flat button in his eye socket.
The intense pain caused him to clench his teeth, but he still completed the shoot meticulously.
This is a kind of pious love for the cause of art, and it is the spiritual motivation that has supported Chen Baoguo through the difficult years. Even on the set, he always maintained a high level of concentration, chewing his lines all the time to stay in the best condition.
And director Guo Baochang is Chen Baoguo's unforgettable nobleman for life. It was the script of "Mansion Gate" that he created that gave Chen Baoguo the opportunity to show his strength and let him regain his glory from the trough.
Today, many years later, Director Guo still has sincere respect for Chen Baoguo. The friendship between the two has long been turned into the most precious spiritual monument in life, sharing weal and woe and going hand in hand.
"Behold, Baoguo, our dreams have finally come true! Guo Baochang's eyes were full of tears, and his tone was firm and powerful.
Chen Baoguo nodded, his eyes were resolute and persistent: "Yes, director, let's fight side by side and work together to create new brilliance!"
Fate twisted and turned against them, but because of this, the friendship between the two can reach the highest level of life.
