Everyone knows that the old movie "Plain Guerrilla" produced by the long film studio in 1955 has made the tough guy star Guo Zhenqing.
The double-gun Li Xiangyang he played is still a classic screen image that cannot be replaced in the memory of many audiences.
But what many friends don't know is that in fact, the movie "Plain Guerrilla" has also achieved another actor, he is Ge Cunzhuang.
Yang Shouye, a traitor in "Plain Guerrilla", is the first character with a name and surname played by Ge Cunzhuang after he was filmed.
That is to say, he actually started his acting life from the movie "Guerrillas of the Plains", and at the same time, he also made himself another "villain professional" on the screen.
Before that, although he had already run dragon sets in many movies, as a "group performance". For example, movies like "Children of China", "Iron Warrior", "White Haired Girl" and other movies have his participation, but no one has noticed his existence.
Ge Cunzhuang's role as Yang Shouye in "Plains Guerrilla" was very successful, which made more directors discover his acting talent. He also got the opportunity to portray Feng Lanchi, the bully landlord, in the movie "Red Flag Spectrum".
And it is the character of Feng Lanchi that makes Ge Cunzhuang, as a film actor, famous in one fell swoop.
According to Ling Zifeng, the director of "Red Flag Spectrum", the biggest reason why he chose Ge Cunzhuang to play Feng Lanchi was that during the time when Ge Cunzhuang used to run the dragon set, he took a fancy to the serious, dedicated spirit and attitude of Ge Cunzhuang.
He felt that such an actor would definitely become a good actor.
Sure enough, in the subsequent artistic practice, Ge Cunzhuang constantly confirmed this sentence of director Ling Zifeng through his own efforts.
After that, he successively participated in many movies such as "Grain", "Miner's Lamp", "Little Two Black Marriage", "Red River Fluxus", "After the Armistice", "Southern Expedition and Northern War", "Rupture", "Willow Dark Flowers", "Big River Rushing", "Little Flower", "Mysterious Big Buddha", "Popular Red Dress on the Street" and many other movies...
Almost every character portrayed left a very deep impression on the audience.
Ge Cunzhuang said that he had three things in his life that were the most worthy of pride and pride.
One is that he has acted in so many good movies and created so many good roles.
Yes, whether it is Yang Shouye in "Guerrilla in the Plains", or Feng Lanchi in "Red Flag Spectrum", or Sun Ziqing who talks about the "horsetail function" in "Rupture", Sha Ruye in "The Mysterious Big Buddha", which one is not classic? Which one, come to life?
This, of course, is inseparable from his talent, hard work and hard work.
It has nothing to do with his philosophy of "only small actors, no small roles".
I think it is precisely because he has created so many different "villains" on the screen with his amazing performance, so he and Chen Qiang, Statement, Fang Hua, Liu Jiang, etc., and called the "five villains".
Another thing to be proud of is that he has a good marriage.
Ge Cunzhuang's wife, shi Wenxin, was a few months older than Ge Cun, a native of Jiangjin, Chongqing. Famous literary editor of the North Film Studio. Like "Red Flag Spectrum", "Miner's Lamp", "Li Siguang", "Acacia Women's Guest House", etc. are all edited and sent by her.
Ge Cunzhuang and Shi Wenxin met in 1953.
Since the first time the two met, they had a good feeling for each other.
At that time, Ge Cunzhuang was not famous, and Shi Wenxin was still working in the countryside. So whenever Ge Cunzhuang didn't shoot a scene, he would walk dozens of miles to see Shi Wenxin.
When they got married, it was simple, and even the wedding was not done, that is, the two of them piled up their respective luggage together, which was equivalent to holding a wedding ceremony.
But that doesn't stop them from the quality of their marriage.
This kind of simple wedding is many times stronger than the wedding that is done in a big way.
After they got married, they have always loved each other, understood each other, supported each other, supported each other all the way, and never separated in the wind and rain.
And they also raised a particularly good pair of children.
This is the third thing that Ge Cunzhuang is most proud of, that is, his son Ge You and daughter Ge Jia are so sensible and filial. Of course, in their careers and work, they have also made their own achievements, and in life, they are also so happy.
Ge You is a big star that everyone knows and loves very much. The fame was obviously greater than that of his father Ge Cunzhuang.
But Ge You did not show a special talent for acting as a child. I like to draw. However, after graduating from high school, he went to the countryside to Changping, a suburb of Beijing, where he became a pig, and worked with pigs for three years, and gradually stimulated his performance potential.
In 1979, Ge You began to apply for professional art schools and troupes, but failed repeatedly. Later, Ge Cunzhuang specially invited him to tutor him, and finally entered the Repertory Theater of the All-China Federation of Trade Unions.
Ge You first appeared on the screen in 1985, when he played a supporting role in the movie "Midsummer and Her Fiancé", Wei Xuejin.
Yes, like his father Ge Cunzhuang, he also started from playing a small role.
And Ge You, as an actor, is actually not superior in appearance.
However, he was very good at thinking, and eventually explored a unique and charming way of acting, and became popular for starring in the TV series "The Story of the Editorial Department".
After becoming popular, Ge You naturally gained more film and television resources, and he became the leading actor in many large-scale productions and New Year films.
I think that before Xu Zheng, Huang Bo and others, the star with the most box office appeal was naturally Ge You.
But Ge You, unlike many celebrities with flamboyant personalities, has always been very humble and low-key. When I am not filming, I rarely appear, and there are no scandals.
In fact, this is exactly the result of Ge Cunzhuang's education of ge all along.
"Be modest and cautious, and guard against arrogance and impatience." It was ge Cunzhuang who said eight big words to Ge You.
And it is precisely with these eight words that Ge You acted seriously, acted in a down-to-earth manner, and established a good reputation inside and outside the circle.
Therefore, Ge Cunzhuang is so proud to say that he has made so many movies in his life, but the best and most proud work is "Ge You".
But Mr. Ge also has regrets. And the two major regrets are related to Ge You.
One is Ge Cunzhuang and Ge You, although like Chen Qiang and Chen Peisi, they are the famous "father-son star combination" of The North Film Studio. However, unlike Chen Qiang Chen Peisi, Ge Cunzhuang and Ge You have not really acted in the film and television drama.
Chen Qiang and Chen Peisi, starting from "Look at This Family", have continuously starred in many good movies with the combination of "father and son file", such as "Father and Son", "Second Son Opens a Shop", "Father and Son Classic Car", etc., which have also had a good impact on the audience.
But Ge Cunzhuang and Ge You, there was not a single such cooperation. Of course, it is not completely without opportunities. Someone once invited the Ge family father and son to appear in a movie or TV series together, and Ge Cunzhuang was very interested, but they were all rejected by Ge You. Why? Because Ge You is very "afraid" of his father.
Ge You said that as long as he was acting with his father, he would not let go.
So, all the while, they haven't worked together well.
There is also a regret in Old Master Ge, that is, he really wants to hold his grandson. He was also mentioned many times in public that he wanted to hold his grandson. But this wish has never been fulfilled.
Fortunately, Ge Laozi wants to be open: Ge You is a modernist, and his ideas are not good for me as a father to interfere too much.
On March 4, 2016, Ge Cunzhuang died of heart failure caused by cerebral infarction at the age of 87.
He has filmed a lot in his life, but he has not won many awards, that is, in his later years, he won the Golden Rooster Award for Male Supporting Actor, and in 2016, he won the Lifetime Achievement Award of the 33rd Hundred Flowers Awards for Popular Film.
But in the hearts of the audience, he is a well-deserved good actor, and at the same time, he is a good father who is humble and courteous.
In his body, it reflects the shining qualities shared by many old artists - modesty, prudence, serious acting, low-key behavior. And these are exactly what many young actors lack.
