Although TV series are full of all kinds of new faces nowadays, there are fewer and fewer faces of old drama bones.
The number of actors who can be named by the older generation is also gradually decreasing, but this does not mean that they have disappeared from the entertainment industry, it may just be a change in the direction of work.
Most young people may not be familiar with Guo Kaimin, but when it comes to "Lushan Love", what comes to everyone's mind is Geng Hua with a handsome face, and his actor is Guo Kaimin.
However, compared with himself when he was young, he has changed a lot now, and it is basically difficult to see Geng Hua's shadow from him.
Speaking of Guo Kaimin's road to fame, Shanghai Film Studio plays a vital role in it.
Otherwise, he would not have gotten the opportunity to star in "Lushan Love" in one fell swoop, so he became famous.
It's a pity that when his acting career was in full swing, he didn't choose to be an actor as the only path, but began to think about the career of directing.
During this period, Guo Kaimin and his first wife Zhang Zhihua achieved positive results. But this marriage did not last long, and the two eventually chose to divorce peacefully due to various problems.
Later, he met his current wife Liu Xiaochun and has lived happily ever since.
1. coincided with "Lushan Love" and became a popular student
Guo Kaimin did not grow up with his parents since he was a child, but was raised by his grandmother.
He has a different atmosphere, perhaps because of the "next generation", and his growth environment is quite relaxed.
When he was young, he was the famous "big speaker" in the school, and he was a permanent member of the school's literary and artistic team. Coupled with his love of singing, Guo Kaimin is indispensable in all kinds of campus literary and artistic activities.
Over time, he came up with the idea of taking the road of professional acting, and it happened that Shanghai Film Studio was recruiting new actors at that time, and he decided to give it a try.
With a sense of relaxation and a handsome face, Guo Kaimin passed the test directly.
But because he is not from a professional class, there is a so-called "probationary period" for one year, and if he fails the assessment, he may have to say goodbye to the studio.
Therefore, in the daily training and performance of the troupe, Guo Kaimin worked hard and did not dare to relax at all.
The first film and television work he starred in was the movie "The Second Spring", playing a naval soldier with very few scenes.
This made him, who was full of enthusiasm for acting, a little frustrated for a while, and even had the idea of quitting filming.
Fortunately, after the enlightenment of the teacher of the troupe, Guo Kaimin changed his mind and devoted himself to character building.
Although it is only a supporting role, after his interpretation, the originally flat character instantly becomes three-dimensional.
It was also the filming of this movie that gave Guo Kaimin the opportunity to shoot "Lushan Love".
After filming "The Second Spring", he felt the importance of culture. Because he only has a junior high school education, when he studies the script, he is a little difficult compared to other actors.
For this reason, whenever he has free time, Guo Kaimin will go to the local bookstore to buy books, hold the books and read them when he has nothing to do, and later go to Beijing Film Academy for further study.
Gradually, his reading and comprehension skills have improved qualitatively, and he can also keep up with the ideas of the director and screenwriter when reading the script.
As for starring in "Lushan Love", on the one hand, it is due to the fact that the producer of the movie is Shanghai Film Studio, and on the other hand, it is because of its outstanding appearance and acting skills.
When his peers were still struggling about their own career development, Guo Kaimin had become an instant hit.
How popular was "Lushan Love" at that time? Tickets for each show were sold out early, and the cinema was full.
The fast-imaging camera in the protagonist's hand has also become a "fashion item", setting off a wave of purchases.
In addition, in less than two decades, the number of screenings of films has reached more than 6,000.
Even from today's point of view, this film is not outdated, and even some shooting techniques are worth learning from contemporary directors.
Along with the explosion came Guo Kaimin's examination of his acting skills, and he found that he always acted for the sake of acting, lacking the so-called "truth".
He fell into self-doubt for a while, but fortunately, with the guidance of his wife Zhang Zhihua, he began to explore the way of acting.
2. Conflict between career and life, ending the first marriage
Like Guo Kaimin, Zhang Zhihua also came out of Shanghai Film Studio. To this day, he is still active in the entertainment industry, and his roles are mainly mother-in-law and mother-in-law.
Maybe most people are not familiar with this name, but when it comes to "Pinru Mother", they all know who this actor is.
Because the film and television characters he starred in have many pungent elements, the audience has a certain misunderstanding of his personality.
In fact, Zhang Zhihua is a simple person who treats people sincerely.
She basically has no professional training, and her acting skills are completely figured out by herself.
All the reporters who interviewed me praised him.
In the interview, what is revealed between the words is the love for acting and the respect for the reporter, and there is no sense of superiority.
Zhang Zhihua and Guo Kaimin can be said to have entered the factory at the same time, which is also an opportunity for the two to meet and fall in love.
When they starred in "Lushan Love", the two were already a couple.
Although after the movie was played, there were many CP fans of Zhou Yun and Geng Hua, but in real life, they are just friends.
Because acting fell into a "bottleneck period", Guo Kaimin was very distressed, and the whole person was also sluggish.
Facing the troubles of his lover, Zhang Zhihua proposed that he could experience the social life of different groups of people, which may be of great help to improve his acting skills.
To this end, he first began to experience social life and feel the fireworks among ordinary people.
In addition, he began to read the script hard, analyze the characters from different angles, and strive to understand the roles he played thoroughly, so as to grasp the degree of reality and acting.
In addition, in order to maintain a good filming state, Guo Kaimin had the consciousness of keeping in shape early on, and he exercised a certain amount of exercise every day, plus learning martial arts.
His figure is outstanding among male actors of the same period.
In 1984, Guo Kaimin and Zhang Zhihua officially entered married life, when their careers were in a booming period, and filming everywhere across the country was "commonplace".
In the early days of marriage, Zhang Zhihua understood her husband very well, and the trivial matters at home basically fell on her alone, and she had to take care of her family and career.
But with the birth of his son, Zhang Zhihua gradually realized that the marriage status of the two was abnormal.
At the time of her childbirth, it was the head of the troupe at the time, not her husband Guo Kaimin, who signed the operation, which laid a hidden danger for their marriage.
As his son grew up, his husband became busier and busier, spending only a handful of time at home throughout the year.
Zhang Zhihua was also extremely painful about this, and finally chose to end the marriage and raise his son alone.
And Guo Kaimin also understands his wife's complaints about him, respects his wife's choice, and does not fight for the custody of his son, but silently supports him behind his back.
After the divorce, he lived a single life for a period of time, and later met his current wife, Liu Xiaochun.
3. Loving with his current lover so far, a happy life is enviable
When he married Liu Xiaochun, Guo Kaimin had already left the Shanghai Film Studio and chose to develop in Hainan.
At that time, the society set off a wave of "going to the sea to do business", and he also chose to give it a try.
In less than three years, he successfully established his own film company, and it can be said that performing arts activities and commercial activities are carried out at the same time.
Because of going to Hainan to do business, Guo Kaimin did not appear in film and television works for two or three years, causing the audience to mistakenly think that he had withdrawn from the circle.
In the face of such questions, his answer is that he did not give up acting activities, but tried to direct and shoot work, and he would not disappear from the audience's field of vision.
When asked about the opportunity to try his hand at directing, Kwok said that he is not a person who likes to be arranged by directors.
On the contrary, in daily shooting, he will have many different ideas, and slowly germinate the idea of becoming a director.
The movie "Tianlun" directed by him can be called his famous work, and the actor is his wife Liu Xiaochun.
They met in Shanghai, and later co-starred in film and television works, which gave rise to feelings.
When Guo Kaimin chose to develop in Hainan, she chose to follow resolutely and resigned from the work of the art troupe.
It was this move that made the relationship between the two heat up quickly, and the wedding was held in 1991.
Facts have proved that Liu Xiaochun did not look at the wrong person, and in just a few years, Guo Kaimin grew up quickly and became a "pillar of the family" in the real sense.
At the beginning of their marriage, some people thought that Liu Xiaochun was a "second-married girl", and their marriage was difficult to last.
In fact, whether it is in work or life, Guo Kaimin and his wife are very compatible, and they do not have a view in the accident world at all.
In decades of married life, they rarely quarrel, and their married life is very happy.
At work, Guo Kaimin will guide Liu Xiaochun's acting skills from time to time, and accompany his wife to grow up step by step.
In daily life, he did not choose to be a "shopkeeper", but ran the family with his lover.
They play their roles in the family and give their children sufficient material and moral support. I don't know how many people dream of such a family life.
epilogue
Now Guo Kaimin rarely comes out to act, and basically focuses on directing work.
Even if he comes out to act, he is mostly based on red-type film and television works, such as "Beacon Resistance", "The Road of Life", etc., and the acting skills are as always.
Because of the contrast between the role and appearance, few people can associate it with Geng Hua in "Lushan Love", which shows that a good actor will not be imprisoned by the role, but will change with the change of the character's temperament.
This alone is worth learning from a large number of young actors.
Guo Kaimin, who is 66 years old, basically has no worries in his career and life, and in his spare time, he will go on variety shows with his wife and meet fans.
But this does not mean that he chose to retire from the entertainment industry, and at the end of last year, he still had a TV series broadcast.
Maybe Guo Kaimin is filming in which crew now, just to leave more figures on the big screen and let more audiences remember him.
