"Vincenzo" tells the story of an Italian mafia lawyer who came to South Korea because of the betrayal of the organization and a veteran cancer lawyer who swept away the villains in a vicious way. From the appearance of the group president who has no one in sight to the lame look of helping Vincenzo (Song Joong Ki) work hard to purify the group, Guo Dongyan depicts the colorful side of Zhang Hanshu, who is loved by the audience as an unsavory villain.
The ratings of the final episode of "Vincenzo" in the hot topic averaged 16.6%, the highest 18.4%, and the national average of 14.6%, the highest 16.2%, breaking its own record. And "Vincenzo" Guo Dongyan appeared as a young president in the play, why is this villain that the audience cannot hate so much?
Actor Kwok Dong-yeon, who played Jang Han-joon in the 2-day Saturday TV series Vincenzo (screenwriter Park Jae-bum and director Kim Hee-won), recently answered various questions about the work, characters and actors' activities through video interviews.
In fact, Guo Dongyan, who played the young president in the play, is 97 years old. In this regard, he confessed that he was "very worried about whether there would be such a bad reaction as the president who was too young, but it seemed that there was no sense of abnormality and it went smoothly", and he thought that this was the praiseworthy point. On the contrary, some netizens have the reaction of "Is Guo Dongyan so small", he smiled and said, "I seem to be very surprised at this age, very relieved, not showing a mature image in the play is very distressed, but thank you very much for my parents to give me a mature face for filming, in order not to look young, I try to be mature." "
Guo Dongyan said that in order to show the young president, he also made great efforts in styling. He explains: "The core of [Zhang Hanshu's] style is a high-necked shirt and a tightened collar hairpin. I want to express my desire to promote my authority, and at the same time I want to visualize the appearance that has been tied to Zhang Junyu (Yu Ze).
Regarding the new appearance of the "baseball stadium" that has caused the audience to sigh, he said: "The ground of the baseball stadium is all white ice cubes, with its own reflector effect, and I think this is all thanks to this that the audience will discover the new appearance."
In order to film the scene of Zhang Hanshu being unilaterally beaten by his violent half-brother Zhang Hanxi, he continued to work hard and put himself into the role. In the process of filming, Guo Dongyan said, "Hanshu felt that he was more insulted, and he also considered to the greatest extent how to be frustrated, so every time he filmed such a scene, he actually lowered his self-esteem, and if he wanted to shoot a scene, he would suffer countless blows, so he actually felt a sense of melancholy, and he was too deep into the play."
Guo Dongyan also showed satisfaction with the cooperation with the actors of "Vincenzo". He said: "It is not easy to meet with predecessors like mummies with multiple faces in the same work, very happy, like Song Joong Ki's predecessors themselves are very suitable for roles like Vincenzo, Song Joong Ki's predecessors often accompany us to practice, practice, like big brothers. Thanks to this, everyone on the scene can show their strength. "
He went on to say: "Special thanks to cho han chul (as Han Seung Hyuk) and Kim Yoo Jin (as Choi Myung Hee). In the early and middle periods[of the work], I also shot at idols. Although I am a junior and an old man, the improvisational performances I want to try have been echoed, and among the scenes that many people like, there are also scenes that have been completed thanks to the care of the seniors. The seniors all showed a gentle and happy work scene, and really wanted to say thank you to the senior actors. "
In the play, Zhang Hanshu chose Vincenzo instead of his brother Zhang Hanxi, showing the appearance of "Vincenzo's little fan brother", when asked if he had a place to fall in love with Song Joong-ki during the actual filming process
He said, "At least once everyone was very excited, did not reveal the hard professional part, regardless of men and women, young and old, who looks very handsome people, in addition, for the secret of "brotherhood", it seems to be naturally experienced, from a young age to practice student life, and older than me to live with a lot of life, now the relationship with the brothers is more convenient to develop, so it will be more natural to form, if you insist on saying that it is the secret, I will often cooperate with each other's brother, the other party feels comfortable with which brother, cute brother, The naughty ghost brother, the quiet brother, etc., seem to have been done according to the situation at that time. "
When asked in past interviews that he said he "wanted to be an actor for the rest of his life", has that changed now?
Guo Dongyan said that "the idea of wanting to be an actor for a lifetime has not changed", revealing his long-term attitude of hard work - that is, the attitude of long-term love for the career, he explained: "I have always thought that every work must be fought with my life to do, but at a certain moment, I felt very painful and stressed because of the unsatisfied Hanshin, so I had the idea that if I did not do well, I would be tired, at this time, instead of clinging to this and suffering, it is better to change to the mentality of "shoot the next scene well", I have always thought, Making yourself simple and spurred on is the way to become a good actor, and now whenever someone compliments me, I will thank you, and the gentle attitude towards yourself is the attitude that is suitable for loving the job for a long time. "
In addition, as the goal of the dream of an actor who "watches for a lifetime", he said: "I want to become an actor who is not tired of the audience, and I hope that in the next 10 or 20 years, whenever I act, I can become an actor that people look forward to."
Asked what is the driving force behind Guo Dongyan, who debuted in 2012 with "You Who Follow the Vine", who has now debuted for 10 years?
Guo Dongyan said: "I didn't expect that I had been debuting for 10 years, and it was a bit shy to say that I was an actor who had debuted for 10 years! I hope everyone doesn't know that I have been debuting for 10 years, I want to go back to the 5th year of my debut, the biggest reason why I can get to this day is that I love this job too much, get a lot, be very happy and happy, and always have the desire to achieve my dreams, so when I was a child in the draft, when the competition was fierce, fierceness was the biggest driving force. I think not exaggerating desire is a big driving force for me. "
As an actor, I think this is probably one of the reasons why the audience likes him
