He is very familiar to us, from the former Emperor Kangxi to the present director and part-time host. There seems to be nothing he can't do. Now he is over half a year old and has been in the entertainment circle for a long time. He is very famous. At first, he was very hard on himself to play this role. Do you want to know?
He once appeared in the film 1942, in which he played the role of his old club. Because it is about the background of the great famine, many people don't have enough to eat, so his role is actually hungry. Its difficulty is not only to be thin, but also to slim down slowly with the plot of the film, which is particularly demanding for actors. Before shooting, Zhang Guoli was still full of happiness, just right.
This kind of test is not something that ordinary actors can do. It needs a young actor with strong perseverance. At that time, he was 56 years old. He insisted on his work. In order to lose weight, he really didn't eat for three days. He usually drinks half a bowl of porridge when he is hungry, but the speed of losing weight is too slow. Finally, he chose to take laxatives and kept tossing himself. Finally, he was hungry in the film and his face was particularly gaunt. The audience who didn't know thought these were makeup.
Being hungry for a long time, I almost fell down while filming on the steps. Fortunately, the director immediately gave him a piece of chocolate, which relieved his fatigue. However, instead of wolfing it down, he put it in his mouth. This only piece of chocolate makes us feel as if he is really a refugee. Only when he is really hungry does he know how precious food is. It seems that he is not acting, but expressing it with his own real experience.
He was too hungry to say his lines, so he made a suggestion to the director. The refugees didn't need too many lines, so the director agreed to cut them. An old actor like him deserves our respect and admiration!
