Years later, Mr. Bao still remembers the night of October 23, 1994.
That night, his wife burned a few more dishes for the first time, and the family gathered around the TV series waiting for the TV series "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" to start.
Although Bao Guoan did not appear in the two episodes broadcast that night, he was quite excited to tell his wives and children: "Tomorrow you will see me, Sun Yanjun, Lu Shuming, Li Jingfei, they have just married in Taoyuan Sanjieyi, Tang Guoqiang is still in the hut!" ”
Although Bao Guoan debuted quite early, he had never acted in an epic masterpiece like this that took four years, so he was very excited.
After the TV series began broadcasting, the ratings were like a rainbow and the praise was overwhelming. Wherever Bao Guoan went, he could hear people discussing the plot and the actors.
He whispered in his heart: Success!
However, with the popularity of the TV series, the actors in the drama have also caused extensive discussion. Among them, Mr. Li Xifan, a famous classical literature figure in China, once said bluntly: "I watched Bao Guoan in the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", and he will not be able to play other roles in the future!" ”
Mr. Li Xifan is well-known for his "Commentary on the Dream of the Red Chamber" and is a well-known expert in classical literature in China, and at that time he also served as a commentator of people's daily and other literary and art critics. At that time, his remarks were like cold water on the head, which directly made Bao Guoan change from excitement to excitement: "It's over! My acting career is basically over! ”
After playing Cao Cao, in the next seven years, Bao Guoan did not receive any invitations from the crew and directors.
So how did Bao Guoan break this "curse", and what kind of story did he have?
And listen to the pickpocket sister.
<h1 class = "pgc-h-arrow-right" > was born into an acting family and began acting at the age of 13</h1>
Bao Guoan was born on June 4, 1946, in a family of performing arts in Tianjin, to parents who were stage actors.
Bao Guoan, who has heard about it since he was a child and has a lot of talent for acting, began to perform on stage at the age of 13.
In 1960, the Tianjin People's Art Troupe established a children's theater troupe, and the famous Bao Guoan was selected, and then filmed his first play on the screen , "People's Hero Liu Literature".
This very positive drama was broadcast and the response was enthusiastic. Bao Guoan was fortunately recruited by the Xinjiang Construction Corps, and during this period Bao Guoan starred in the 16th Regiment of the Fourth Agricultural Division.
In 1969, Bao Guoan was transferred to the Zhumadian District Cultural and Labor Troupe in Henan Province, where he also served as a director in the Henan Song and Dance Troupe while acting.
After the resumption of the college entrance examination, Bao Guoan was bent on continuing his studies at the university. Because the performance was too busy at that time, it was not until 1978 that Bao Guoan went to take the college entrance examination. In the same year, he was admitted to the Central Academy of Drama, and after graduation, he stayed on to teach.
Through this experience, we can see that Bao Guoan is an actor who has begun to polish on the stage since he was a child, and he has also undergone professional learning, so how can he ruin his acting career because of the role of Cao Cao?
Maybe, because he's acting too little!
In the early days of Bao Guoan's teaching, he acted in the 84th edition of "Shandong Water Margin" and the 90th year of "Tang Mingxiang".
In 1990, when director Wang Fulin invited Bao Guoan to play Cao Cao, it also caused a lot of controversy: there are so many available actors, why did he choose Bao Guoan, who did not act much?
Without it, only its diligent ears!
< h1 class = "pgc-h-arrow-right" > trapped in Cao Cao's role for seven years, starring lin Zexu as "changing his life against the sky"</h1>
Although the 94th edition of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" has a huge investment, the conditions are still very difficult. The rumors on the Internet that Sun Yanjun, Lu Shuming, and Li Jingfei stole corn when they were hungry is a good proof.
This drama has been filmed for 4 years, and most of the actors go home to improve their lives and go out to shop when they are not in their own roles, but Bao Guoan did not.
Bao Guoan is one of the few resident cast members in the crew, not only because he has many scenes, but more importantly, when he is not filming, he stays in the crew to check relevant historical materials and figure out the roles.
It is his diligence and hard work that have shaped an insurmountable classic Cao Cao for us.
But it is precisely because Cao Cao portrayed by Bao Guoan is too successful, but this role has trapped it.
After the performance of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", in the seven years, Bao Guoan did not receive a call from a crew or a director to invite him to act. In this way, he plunged into the teaching work.
One day seven years later, director Xie Jin called Bao Guoan and asked him to play Lin Zexu. Bao Guoan wondered: I haven't acted for such a long time, why can you still trust me? Besides, Lin Zexu, played by Teacher Zhao Dan, has been very successful, and if I go to act again, is it not humiliating myself?
At that time, Bao Guoan did not take it seriously, and he continued to teach. After three or four months, Xie Jin called Bao Guoan again. At this time, Bao Guoan finally knew: Xie Jin was really here, and he still wanted him to act.
After going to Lin Zexu's hometown, Bao Guoan visited Lin Zexu's cemetery and memorial hall to learn more about Lin Zexu's experiences in various periods.
At the same time, he also visited Lin Zexu's descendants in order to truly restore this character.
After returning home, Bao Guoan began to study the relevant historical materials of Lin Zexu and figured out this role.
After entering the crew, he also specialized in studying and acting at the same time, and after the TV series was released, Bao Guoan played Lin Zexu alive again!
For Bao Guoan's acting career, this TV series can be called "changing his life against the sky": it not only dragged him out of the quagmire of Cao Cao's role, but also restarted his suspended acting career.
At this time, Bao Guoan was 51 years old!
Since then, he has successively starred in many film and television dramas such as "The Right Way on Earth", "The Case of ShuangfengQi", "The Legend of Shaolin", "The Great Trouble in the East Sea" and so on.
For an actor, to be popular after the age of 50, in addition to professionalism, there is also dedication.
Bao Guoan is professional and dedicated!
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > I'm not a star, I'm an actor, and my assistant is my wife</h1>."
After Bao Guoan finished playing Lin Zexu, he broke the spell that was difficult for the "four famous works" actors to break through. At the same time, he also changed the law that after playing the reverse angle was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, it was difficult to play the right angle - after Lin Zexu, Bao Guoan played most of the decent.
Originally, playing the role of Cao Cao was enough for him to show off his life, but he modestly said: "My filming began in 97 years ("Humen Selling Cigarettes") ! ”
Moreover, in his acting career of more than ten years (he thinks, in fact, decades), Bao Guoan has never felt that he is a star, but only regards himself as an actor. Which crew to go to, do not invite assistants, take a wife, this in the entertainment industry, I am afraid that there is no ancient person before, no one after.
Bao Guoan in life is very low-key, teaching without filming. The two sons did not enter the entertainment industry and almost never appeared in public.
And his wife, who has always been willing to be the woman behind him, washes and cooks for him, and follows him around.
Is the entertainment industry cruel?
But why do I see inspiration, warmth and emotion in Bao Guoan?
< h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > concluding remarks</h1>
Bao Guoan appeared on stage at the age of 13 and became famous for playing Cao Cao, but because this role was too classic, he almost ruined his acting career.
However, he loves acting and is in awe of the profession of an actor, and even when he is 50 years old, he can still humbly say: "My acting road has just begun!" ”
Now, the 73-year-old Bao Guoan is still active on the screen.
Who asks: Can the drama be performed?
Some singers sing a song of fire and cheat on tickets to drink for a lifetime;
Some actors play a role well and show off for a lifetime.
But there are also some drama bones like Bao Guoan, who have done their best to act for a lifetime.
They are the backbone of Chinese film and television, and they are also the hope of Chinese film and television!
