Beiying 96 is a veritable star class, from 1997 to the present nearly 30 years, Zhao Wei, Huang Xiaoming, Chen Kun, the "Three Musketeers of Beiying" still dominate the entertainment industry worthy of the status of a sister and a brother, and people like He Lin, Zhang Heng, Yan Danchen, Zu Feng and other people are also all year round, still active in the show business circle.
However, in the star class composed of 23 students, only Guo Xiaodong is an exception, he was poor when he was a child, and he had to drop out of school to work because he could not get 34 yuan of tuition in the second year of junior high school. When he was 18 years old, he happened to see a magazine with an advertisement for the Beijing Film Academy to recruit summer camp students, and Guo Xiaodong, who was attracted by his dream, secretly borrowed 1100 yuan from his relatives and boarded the train to Beijing.
In 1993, Guo Xiaodong chose to resign naked to apply for Nortel, but unfortunately he was not admitted. In order to dream and maintain his life, he chose to run dragon sets everywhere in the crew. Fortunately, Huangtian did not pay off, and in 1996, Guo Xiaodong was admitted to the Beijing Film Academy as he wished, becoming a member of the star class.
In 1996, Nortel's annual tuition fee was 10,000, which was simply an astronomical amount for Guo Xiaodong, who came from a poor family. For this reason, he did not dare to participate in the class reunion, and when the classmates were already disdainful of running the dragon set again, Guo Xiaodong still squatted at the gate of the North Film Studio as soon as he had time to wait for the opportunity to make money.
The Three Musketeers of the Northern Shadow
It is precisely because of this poor and fulfilling life experience that Guo Xiaodong's emotions and acting skills in film and television works have been created today.
In 2005, when Guo Xiaodong became famous in the show business circle with "Warm", a reporter at the press conference of "Peach Blossom Brilliant" asked, "Will you envy zhao wei, Huang Xiaoming, Chen Kun and other people?" ”
Zhao Wei Guo Xiaodong
Guo Xiaodong's answer is very rational: "Since graduation, I have taken over a lot of literary and art films, and many literary and art film directors have said that I have the characteristics of making such films, and from this point of view, I should be luckier than Zhao Wei and Chen Kun." I also dream of being a pure filmmaker, but now the film actor's income is too meager, and I can't live on this alone, so I have also taken over some TV series. ”
I have to say that this rural doll who has worked as a lumberjack, printer, courier and other types of work has always lived very rationally on the road of showbiz.
This year is the 99th anniversary of Jiao Yulu's birth, after receiving the invitation of "My Father Jiao Yulu", Guo Xiaodong entered the crew to experience life 5 months in advance.
Shaping real characters in life in film and television works, especially Li Xuejian's version of ZhuYu in front, is a great challenge for actors. It's all real things happening, there's not much room for free play, how to string these real events together with a thread, or not to violate the harmony, which is a very difficult task for the entire creative team and actors.
Jiao Yulu
Looking at the current entertainment industry, Guo Xiaodong is the best person to interpret this role, whether it is appearance or acting. The same Shandong people, simple with elegance, self-improvement with tenacity.
Compared with the 90th edition of "Jiao Yulu", the image of Jiao Yulu in this version is very full, no longer focusing only on Jiao Yulu's work in Lankao for 475 days, but also on his warmer daily chores as a son of man, a husband, and a father.
At the beginning of the film's release, in addition to the official media calling for it, Guo Xiaodong and Cheng Lisha's friends also warmed up for the film online.
Of course, in addition to the recognition given to this film by peers, there is no lengthy preaching, and there is no deliberate sensational plot that also touches all the audiences who enter the cinema.
A star in the sky, a man on the earth. If you are a good person, the star is bright; if you are a bad person, the star is dark; if you are a person who is broken, the star in the sky will not be bright, there will be none. To be a person is to be a good person, to be the brightest star in the sky, have you been a good person for so many years?
I dare not forget my mother's teachings!
There is no flowery dialogue, from Jiao Mu's simple and unpretentious words, as the audience, we can understand what kind of family environment this good person grew up in.
As a father, although Jiao Yulu is busy, he can care for every child;
As a partner, he is heartbroken by the sacrifices his wife has made for the family, and will also do the chores of life within his ability in his spare time;
As a servant of the people, he always rushed to the forefront, did not specialize for himself and his family, and led by example every time, even eating 2 sides a day.
There are countless touching scenes in the movie "My Father Jiao Yulu", among which the scene where Jiao Yulu took the whole family back to his hometown in Shandong to visit the old woman who had not been seen for ten years made countless people moved to tears.
In the cold winter, the snow was white, Jiao Yulu slowly pushed open the dilapidated wooden door outside the courtyard of his hometown, his old wife was bending over and hunched over the courtyard to push and grind, heard the heavy footsteps behind him, and the old mother was stunned and did not look back.
Jiao Yulu saw his mother's elderly figure, and before he could say a word, he shed tears first, and slowly walked over to hug her and shouted "Mother".
This simple rural woman only said, "I'm back, skinny!" ”
After a brief reunion, Jiao Yulu needed to quickly return to Lankao for the sake of the people. When leaving his hometown, Jiao Yulu did not dare to look at the figure of the old mother standing alone at the door to bid farewell, and knelt on the small bridge in front of the house to give the old man a kowtow.
This time together became the final trick between mother and son.

At the national premiere of "My Father Jiao Yulu", some Lankao fans let their families send them "Lankao Three Treasures" - paulownia, peanuts and jujubes were specially given to the entire production team, and a poem to Jiao Yulu was read on the spot -
Because of you, this jujube in Kaifeng will be sweeter;
Because of you, this peanut in Kaifeng can be fuller;
Because of you, this paulownia in Kaifeng can thrive more;
Because of you, thousands of acres of wheat ears are pushed into waves
A servant of the people who only spent 475 days in Lankao, after the 55th anniversary of his death, still has posterity who remembers the efforts he made in this land, is this not to confirm the Zang Ke family's sentence that "some people die, she still lives in the hearts of the people"?
The reason why we miss and praise Jiao Yulu is because no matter what era the people need a servant of the people like him. It is difficult to be a good person, and it is even more difficult to be a good official of the people.
