On the stage, he is the tacit partner of Hou Baolin and Hao Aimin, and in life, he is an approachable old man with no shelf. He can talk with people who sell newspapers on the street, popsicles in alleys, vegetables in vegetable markets, and people who repair locks in front of their homes.
As a popular actor, the most basic quality is not to be noisy, to be willing to be a green leaf, especially standing next to Hou Baolin's comic master, Guo Quanbao is not only well versed in this way, and he never competes for fame and profit offstage, when the actor rating Guo Quanbao did not rated the level he deserved, but he had no complaints. Including the cost of the performance, he never cared, how much to give, sometimes when he went to the school to perform for the children, he did not take anything, all as a gift to the children.
We often say that art is higher than life, but art must also come from life, especially the art of cross-talk, the content of which is actually from some small things and interesting things in our lives. An open-minded and optimistic person who knows humor can say good crosstalk, you say that you shrug your face every day, bitter and vengeful, look at nothing good, look at no one has a good face, then you are more suitable to play Shakespeare's tragic drama.
One year, Guo Quanbao and Hou Baolin and other actors were sent to rural areas to do farm work, both of whom were in good health, and Master Hou Baolin carried a bag of 80 pounds of beans and walked like a fly. Guo Quanbao saw that he was even giving a thumbs up, and then said to the person who packed the bag: "Comrade Baolin is older than me and carries 80 pounds, I am young, I can't be lazy, give me 100 pounds."
The bag was packed, Guo Quanbao carried the beans and also followed behind, did not take a few steps, the bag mouth was loose, the beans fell to the ground, Guo Quanbao's soles slipped and fell to the ground, this time it broke the crotch.
Along with Hao Aimin and other cross-talk peers, everyone discussed, what to do? 999？ 120？ That is not a joke, at that time where the countryside has this condition, and the local ask, the nearest hospital in Zhoukou, the drive also takes three and a half hours. Besides, there is no car in the local area, what to do. Looking for a local barefoot doctor to eat a few painkiller tablets, Hao Aimin learned acupuncture, and this time he also used it, giving Guo Quanbao teacher acupuncture.
At this time, there is no way, if you can't do it, you have to try, Hao Aimin has not practiced medicine on weekdays, it is all practiced by small people, this time the first practice, the object is still Guo Quanbao's teacher, Hao Aimin is holding a needle in one hand, the whole shoulder is shaking, he said to Guo Quanbao: "No, Teacher Guo, I am scared and my hands are trembling."
And Guo Quanbao, who was lying on the bed, said a word, which eased the nervousness of the big guys: "You are not stabbing yourself, are you not stabbing me?" I'm not afraid, what are you afraid of?"
And Hao Aimin is also interesting: "Don't say it, Teacher Guo, you are more afraid than za myself."
Guo Quanbao said another sentence, which completely amused everyone: "You see, you are far worse than Bethune."
At this time, Hao Aimin relaxed and began to give Guo Quanbao acupuncture, and after 20 consecutive days, Guo Quanbao miraculously recovered.
Another time, Guo Quanbao and the troupe to perform abroad, when the break everyone went out shopping, Guo Quanbao wanted to go to the shoe store to buy a pair of leather shoes, but he did not understand English, before leaving with the young people of the team to learn a sentence, this young man told him, look at which pair of shoes, you ask the waiter: "how much", this is the meaning of asking her how much.
Teacher Guo Quanbao listened, understood, this sentence is easy to learn, is not it three words: "good, well, eat", easy to remember.
The next day Guo Quanbao teacher entered the shoe store, the pair of shoes he looked at was found, but the English he remembered wrong, he pointed to the shoes, and asked the waiter next to him: "Good." Delicious? ”
The waiter even said, "No, no, no."
Teacher Guo Quanbao couldn't understand it either, so he was in a hurry, and then he tried to say, "Is it delicious?" ”
The waiter still shook his head: "NO, no, no."
"Eat, eat well?"
The old man also said no, Teacher Guo Quanbao sweated urgently, he patted his head and got angry: "I just want to ask you how much this shoe is, why can't you understand it?" ”
At this time, the foreign waiter said to him in standard Mandarin, "Didn't you already say that you would get it?"
"Hey, do you speak Chinese?"
But isn't it, you all go to foreign countries to say that crosstalk is coming, crosstalk people can understand it, buy a pair of shoes can not understand? How fresh, dare to love this half a day in vain busy.
Many people listened to it and didn't believe it, and said that Teacher Guo Quanbao said something here, right? This is really a real thing, and many years later Hao Aimin personally told everyone at beijing television station, and it can't be faked.
Such an interesting taste of life has appeared countless times in Guo Quanbao's life, and even when he was seriously ill in bed, he did not forget to tease his apprentice.
At that time, the old man's health has deteriorated, basically can only lie on the bed, apprentice Liu Liansheng once a month to the old man haircut, in order to let the master maintain a good attitude, Liu Liansheng took the initiative and master said: "Today's haircut, did you buy a brand?" ”
Teacher Guo Quanbao replied: "Bookkeeping! ”
The next month, when Liu Liansheng repaired his master's hair, he asked, "Are you keeping accounts or buying a brand today?" ”
Teacher Guo Quanbao replied: "The cabinet is on!" ”
In the third month, Liu Liansheng came again: "This time, are you keeping accounts, or buying cards, or directly handing them over?" ”。
Guo Quanbao replied: "This time I don't need it, I will cover the moon!" ”
The paramedics and other apprentices laughed.
