1. Chen Baoguo, who has been determined to devote himself to the acting career since he was a child, has experienced a period of thorny beginnings. Although no one cared about him when he was a fledgling, his dedication to his dreams never wavered.
Chen Baoguo worked diligently in various crews, devoted himself to every tiny role, and worked hard to figure out the inner world of the characters. This kind of fanatical enthusiasm and professionalism for theater was finally appreciated by the director.
In 1982, Chen Baoguo became an instant hit in the TV series "Red Orange, Yellow Green, Blue and Purple" and won the Best Actor. For him, the profession of actor is the favorite of his heart and the greatest pursuit in life.
In order to perfectly interpret the role, he often devotes himself to the play regardless of personal gains and losses. In the 1986 film "Divine Whip", Chen Baoguo actually wore thin buttons and pasted them directly on his eyes in order to simulate the visual effects of a blind character.
Although this practice shocked those around him, his fanaticism for acting made him uncomplaining. And just like that, after a few months, that eye was literally almost blind. But even so, Chen Baoguo is still fully committed and exhausted to interpret this role.
This crazy attitude towards drama made him nicknamed "drama maniac" in the circle. But it is this dedication and professionalism that has made Chen Baoguo mature step by step and grow into a ? Force-sent actors.
He has won the Magnolia Emperor Award twice and is known as "National Treasure Chen". This is not only an affirmation of his acting skills, but also the highest praise for professionalism. Even in the later stages of his acting career, when the concept of "traffic" prevailed, Chen Baoguo's solid acting skills seemed to be left behind by the entertainment industry.
But we still believe that as long as there is a suitable script and role, his excellent acting talent will eventually shine again, because strength cannot be erased in any time and space.
Chen Baoguo and his wife Zhao Kui'e are a model couple with great affection, and their sweet love affair can be traced back to the days of classmates. When Chen Baoguo was young, he was deeply fascinated by Zhao Kui'e when he saw her beautiful and moving face, and his heart ignited admiration.
Second, in order to be close to his sweetheart, he can be said to have done his best. Although Zhao Kui'e has always been moved by Chen Baoguo's considerate care, she has never found the reason for her secret liking.
It wasn't until one day that she accidentally found a sincere note written by Chen Baoguo to herself, and then she suddenly realized that the person who had been silently caring about her was him.
This is the beginning of the sweet love affair between the two. In order to be by the goddess's side at all times, Chen Baoguo began to work and study, working everywhere in the scorching heat and cold to make money, and finally bought the most fashionable bicycle for Zhao Kui'e as a gift in a year.
Looking at Chen Baoguo, who was swarthy but always cared for himself, Zhao Kui'e was full of emotion in her heart. After graduation, although career choices often separated the two, the seeds of love have taken root in their hearts.
After becoming an instant hit, Chen Baoguo's first thought was to marry his beloved Zhao Kui'e and enter the palace of marriage with her. Although the outside world is not optimistic about this decision, Chen Baoguo's love for his wife is unwavering.
After getting married, Zhao Kuie took the initiative to give up her acting career and devoted herself to her husband and children. The two are known as "model couples in the entertainment industry". Whenever Chen Baoguo won the film and television awards on the podium, he would publicly send a flying kiss to his wife to show his love and gratitude to her.
This loving couple has spent more than 40 years interpreting what true love is and can withstand the baptism of time. For Chen Baoguo, being an actor is not only a profession, but also his lifelong pursuit and dream.
This dedication and enthusiasm for art is reflected in his selfless dedication to each role. Whether it is the protagonist or the supporting role, he will work tirelessly, try to figure out the inner world of the character, and do every preparation.
Even some small details, such as his eyes and demeanor, Chen Baoguo also studied them with special care. He diligently portrays each character, trying to fit the character's personality and mood, so that the audience does not see an actor performing, but the presentation of the character itself.
It is this fanatical attitude towards art that makes him nicknamed "drama maniac" in the circle. In 1986, during the filming of the film "Divine Whip", Chen Baoguo, in order to play a blind character more realistically, actually thinned the buttons and put them directly on his eyes to simulate the blindness effect.
Although this practice shocked the staff, his fanatical perseverance in acting made him unimpressed. And just like that, after a few months, that eye was literally almost blind.
But even so, Chen Baoguo still devoted himself and tried his best to play this role without complaint. This fanatical devotion to the cause has not always been recognized and rewarded.
In 2016, when filming the TV series "The Last Visa", Chen Baoguo suffered injuries from his peers. In order to steal the scene, an actor changed Chen Baoguo's original leading role without permission, which greatly reduced his weight in the play.
For an old actor, this is undoubtedly a huge humiliation. But in the face of this injustice, Chen Baoguo did not have any revenge from the same enemy, but only vented his inner dissatisfaction in a humorous tone.
In the next two years, he never took on any new plays, and he chose to express himself in silence for such blows. Although he suffered injuries from his peers, Chen Baoguo's dedication to his acting career has never wavered.
3. In 2019, he finally reappeared on the screen with the new drama "Old Chinese Medicine", interpreting another wonderful role for the audience. As a veteran actor who is nearly 70 years old, his fanatical passion for drama is truly admirable.
In 1995, director Guo Baochang spent decades and worked hard to finally complete the creation of the family history masterpiece "Mansion Gate". In this work, Chen Baoguo played the role of the coveted actor Bai Jingqi, but no one expected that after only 3 episodes of filming, the investor suddenly withdrew and asked to change the director and actors.
For Director Guo, this is undoubtedly a bolt from the blue, which crushed his years of hard work and expectations. He has exhausted his life's work for this script, and now all his efforts have been in vain, and the unreasonable decisions of the investors have plunged him into huge debts and despair.
Faced with the absurd demands of the investors, Chen Baoguo also fell into a dilemma. As a leading actor, continuing to shoot means betraying one's conscience and trust in the director.
But if he chooses to resign, he will abandon the role he dreams of, and let the director's artistic ideals come to naught. At this contradictory juncture, Chen Baoguo did not hesitate at all, and made a decisive choice at the first time - defending ideals and friendship above all else! In order to defend the integrity of the work "Mansion Gate" and maintain the dignity of the director, he resolutely threw down all his salary, quit the crew angrily, and expressed his grievances with practical actions.
After leaving the crew, Chen Baoguo was supposed to take advantage of the heat and become a smash hit, but his dedication to this drama made him willing to pay all the price for it. Although there were doubts from the outside world, he had no complaints about his decision.
Sure enough, "Mansion Gate" finally resumed filming after 3 years, but during this period, Chen Baoguo did not take on any new dramas, and even had to sell his house for turnover. When he received the director's invitation again, he did not hesitate to accept it, and returned all the salary that was smashed, and kept the promise made 3 years ago.
This time, there was finally no obstruction, and "Mansion Gate" was a great success as expected, and the ratings continued to rise, becoming a classic masterpiece that became a household name. The audience saw not only Chen Baoguo's superb acting skills, but also his selfless dedication and great sentiments to his career, director, and friendship.
The reason why this drama has achieved great achievements is that in addition to Director Guo's persistent pursuit of ideals, it is more due to Chen Baoguo's unswerving loyalty in fighting side by side with him and sticking to his beliefs. The birth of a great work is inseparable from the joint efforts of all people, but the most important thing is that in the most difficult times, there are always people who are willing to give sincere trust and loyalty.
It is Chen Baoguo's persistent support for Director Guo and "Mansion Gate" that has achieved himself and the dream of another artist. This unswerving spirit of putting artistic ideals above all else is admirable and admirable, and it also makes the success of "Mansion Gate" even more dazzling, becoming an unforgettable classic in the history of Chinese film and television.
