"Vaguely dreaming like I have seen it, and my heart is wavering; leaving aside the world's worries and grievances, accompanying to the sky..." Whenever this music sounds, many people will think of the classic pictures of the 83rd edition of "The Legend of the Eagle Hero". Now, on the Kuaishou platform, this is the bgm of Guangxi Binyang boy "Gu Qianle", and the video of him and his cousin working in the field dressed up as Guo Jing and Huang Rong has recently caught fire.
"Husband sings with women" to harvest rice
In the Kuaishou works of "Gu Qianle", he mostly dresses up as Yang Guo of the 95th edition of "Divine Eagle Heroes", sometimes driving a paddy field hand tractor to rake the mud in the muddy fields; sometimes carrying a pesticide sprayer, raising a water mist in the field; sometimes reuniting with "aunts" in the field, recounting the telecommunications fraud encountered over the years.
In addition, he sometimes plays Ximen Chuixue in "The Legend of Lu Xiaofeng", Xiang Shaolong in "The Quest for Qin", or Xu Wenqiang in "Shanghai Beach" in his works. Among them, the video of Xu Wenqiang driving a hand-held tractor was considered by netizens to be "the feeling of holding his hand out of Ferrari".
His most popular work is the recent 83rd edition of the "Legend of the Eagle Hero". He appeared in the mirror with Guo Jing's makeup, a strong body, a humble face, and a bright-eyed, eccentric "Huang Rong" next to him. They are athletic, sharp and capable, cutting rice together, drying grain together, eating chicken legs together, that kind of generation of heroes and wives singing with the sense of immediate vision, so that many netizens mistakenly think that they are also husband and wife in reality.
To this end, "Gu Qianle" had to make a special video to clarify his relationship with Huang Rong in the video: it was his 22-year-old cousin Liang Shaobing, both from the wooden village of Binzhou Town, Binyang County, Guangxi, both of whom liked costumes and performances since childhood.
Self-proclaimed "Guangxi Ancient Heavenly Music"
"Gu Qianle" is really named Wu Yong, but since childhood, everyone prefers to call him "invincible", which is due to his restless and unyielding personality. The 31-year-old suddenly caught fire, and he was somewhat surprised.
A few years ago, Wu Yong, like most of the young people in the village, had been running around, and his old father stayed at home and took care of several families' nearly 20 acres of farmland. A few months ago, due to the temporary stagnation of his work outside and watching his father grow old, Wu Yong could not bear his father's hard work any longer, so he simply packed his bags and went home to help his father with the affairs of the field.
At that time, it was the "double robbery" season, and in the interval between lunch breaks, Wu Yong brushed his fast hands on the side of the field, looking at other people's works, and he also had the idea of taking some works himself. Without too much creation, recording your busyness in the field may also be a very interesting work, after all, there are not many such video works on the Internet.
So, he took his own little scalper and took the first short video and sent it to Kuaishou. In the video, he wears a suit and tie and leads an ox on a dirt road in a field. The video is only a few seconds, it seems a little jerky, I didn't expect to receive tens of thousands of likes, which gave Wu Yong a lot of confidence.
Because he liked Gu Tianle since he was a child, he called himself "Guangxi Gu Tianle" on the Internet, and gave himself a screen name of "Gu Qianle", and most of the works created were also imitations of the image of Gu Tianle, including the 95 version of "Divine Eagle Hero", a raid of green clothes with broken arms, two sideburns and white hair hanging from the shoulders, deep and melancholy eyes, combined with the pastoral scenery of the countryside, quite a bit of the atmosphere of the divine eagle hero alone in the rivers and lakes.
Put down the kitchen knife "running dragon set"
The reason why Wu Yong can play the various film and television images is due to his acting skills accumulated over the years of "running dragon sets", and he himself does not shy away from this.
Born in 1990, Wu Yong went to Zhejiang after graduating from junior high school, working as a chef in a restaurant by Hangzhou's West Lake, from the age of 16 to 26, from a primary school apprentice to a head chef, he suddenly felt that his "career" seemed to have come to an end. So, in the summer of 2016, he put down his kitchen knife and started a new career journey.
If you don't become a chef, what should you do? Wu Yong decided to start from his own interests. Since he was a child, he has loved to watch costume dramas and like to play heroes. So he bought a ticket and went straight to Hengdian Film and TV City, not far from Hangzhou.
When he went to the place to find an inn to stay, he didn't know anything about film and television, so he asked around, how to do actor cards, how to find a crew, how to take a drama order, how to be a group actor (mass actor).
Being a group actor is much more difficult than being a chef, and many times, there are several crews a day, working for 12 hours, and the income is only more than 100 yuan. Half a year later, Wu Yong learned to ride through the introduction and guidance of others. After that, in addition to being a group actor, he can also be a substitute (stunt actor), encountering a scene like falling off a horse, and he can earn thousands of yuan at a time, which is worth the income of the past ten days.
In Hengdian for 4 years, it is also the 4 years of film and television dramas, how many plays have been received and how many shots have been taken in 4 years, Wu Yong himself is not clear. During this period, his cousin Liang Shaobing, who liked to perform since he was a child, also followed him to Hengdian and became a group actor and substitute.
"Hero Life" is fake and real
Since the beginning of 2020, the number of film and television dramas has decreased significantly, and Wu Yong's workload and income have plummeted. In the middle of this year, he really couldn't bear the old father at home to continue to work so hard, so he returned to his hometown in Binyang from Zhejiang.
Some of the costumes and props used in Hengdian, he did not want to throw them away, but also brought them back. Originally, I just wanted to keep a thought, but I didn't expect it to come in handy later.
Since the release of the first video in June this year, Wu Yong has been thinking, "In addition to acting heroically and righteously, don't you have to work to support your family?" With this in mind, he began his own creation. He turned over the costumes and props he brought back and played a hero in front of the camera. The classic image of film and television dramas, coupled with rural labor and newly created earthy plots, has made him absorb hundreds of thousands of fans in just a few months.
His cousin Liang Shaobing, who had been "insisting" in Hengdian, was also persuaded by Wu Yong to come back and became the "Rong'er", "Aunt" and "Xiang'er" in his works.
The 23-year-old cousin is also good at acting, "Rong'er" is smart and clever, "aunt" Bing Qingyujie, "Xiang'er" is innocent and flexible, all of which are played by her just right, and she has a certain martial arts and dance skills, from time to time in the camera to make an improvised fist and foot, but also makes the martial arts atmosphere in the work add a lot.
In order to make the "hero life" have a higher degree of reduction, Wu Yong also found a dubbing friend and matched his work with a "TVB cavity" line, a "Jing brother", "over", "big brother", so that a scene is almost fake.
I want to help my hometown "do something"
Wu Yong is red, especially in the eyes of the villagers, he is a big star in the eight townships of ten miles, and he is the signature of the village and town. But he wasn't content with that.
Wu Yong's dissatisfaction is not that he is not famous enough, but that he feels that he has done too little for his hometown. When the reporter asked him to interview, he always refused several times on the grounds of "too busy". These days, he is busy with the town staff, inspecting the various resources of Binyang, and he hopes that in the future, in his works, he can integrate more elements such as hometown specialties, humanities, tourism, and rural revitalization.
"Growing up here, everything is commonplace, and when I went to understand and study it well, I found that there are so many good things in my hometown." Wu Yong said that these days, he has gained a lot, in addition to a better understanding of the land of his hometown, the feedback of the villagers has also given him a lot of creative inspiration. Next, in addition to playing Guo Jing and Yang Guo, he will also try more martial arts roles according to the requirements of the villagers, and the next challenge role will be Qiao Feng in "Tianlong Babu".
A few days ago, Wu Yong and his cousin, together with the local public security department, created an anti-telecommunications fraud video on Kuaishou with the plot of Yang Guo and Xiaolongnü's reunion, which received good results. Wu Yong said that in the future, he will not only promote his hometown in his works, but also actively participate in this kind of public welfare publicity, as long as his hometown has needs, he will have no hesitation, because "he only wants to help his hometown to do something."
As for his own small goals, Wu Yong wants to save enough money early to make a big network movie (network movie) where he is the protagonist.
