Many people say that Zhang Guoli's seemingly simple and honest looks, but he is wise and looks like a Shaanxiese. In fact, Zhang Guoli has a deep relationship with Shaanxi. From the age of 8 to 16, he lived in Weinan, Shaanxi.
The following is a reporter's interview with Zhang Guoli many years ago:
Reporter: You were born in Tianjin, and you speak Sichuan dialect in some movies. Many people think you are from Sichuan, but you also have a life experience in Shaanxi, right?
Zhang Guoli: Yes, my father repaired railways. My father built railways in Shaanxi, Xi'an to Hancheng, and West Korea line. At that time, I should go to school. I came to Shaanxi from Tianjin and went to elementary and middle school in Shaanxi.
Reporter: After arriving in Shaanxi, can you get used to all aspects of food?
Zhang Guoli: Anyway, I suddenly came to Weinan from a big city in Tianjin, and I feel that Weinan is so small! There is a big psychological contrast.
Reporter: In Weinan, what impressed you the most?
Zhang Guoli: Watermelon, sweet potato, and eggs are what impressed me the most. This is what impressed me the most.
Reporter: Why?
Zhang Guoli: Because I remember at that time, the sellers of red vetch were shouting, red vetch, red vetch. Some sweet potatoes are steamed and sold on the street, and some are roasted and sold on the street. The watermelon is very delicious, the red sand stuffed, and the rock candy. Listening to the shouts, the large carriage pulled one another. The broken baby happily eats well and fires off during the New Year. Every year you eat well during the Chinese New Year, you can eat it openly at the end of the year. This is when you have diarrhea.
Zhang Guoli said that because he has lived in Shaanxi since he was a child, his stomach is particularly adapted to the traditional Shaanxi diet. Zhang Tielin, his good buddy and old partner in TV series, also grew up in Shaanxi, and the relationship between the two is very strong. However, they sometimes get overwhelmed by the Shaanxi specialties sent by their friends.
Reporter: Friends from other places gave you two some specialties in Shaanxi. Are you two still grabbing?
Zhang Guoli: Until now, I like to eat Shaanxi's crystal cake . The nursery often came home from Shaanxi or her mother came to Beijing from Shaanxi, she must bring me crystal cakes, every time I be a baby. When the crystal cakes from the nursery were given to me, he didn’t expect him to be with him. I’m sorry, but I had to wink and hand him two boxes, 10 boxes for two boxes. He had to grab them, so he stopped doing it. , Say five boxes per person and five boxes per person. He doesn't eat much, so he looks like me. I ate them one by one, and he took it to everyone. I couldn't bear it. I love it. I remember when shooting " May Sophora Flower Fragrance ", the crystal cake from the nursery came and he came to grab it. After the grab was finished, I gave that Xiaomao, his assistant, I said Xiaomao, did the crystal cake finish? Xiao Mao said he didn't move! Bring it to me! Little Mao secretly brought it to me. They are all in the trunk of his car. He is a Hasong, and he does not eat.
Zhang Guoli Tribulation is a wealth
In 1970, 16-year-old Zhang Guoli left Weinan, where he had lived for 8 years, and inherited his father’s career to work as a road builder in Guizhou Province, where he was baptized in the mountains of Guizhou.
Zhang Guoli: At that time, it was under militarized management. I lived in Niu Mao felt and left home suddenly. I was a lot unhappy and often cried under the covers.
Reporter: Did you ever think of changing your situation in some way?
Zhang Guoli: I thought about leaving, but I don't know how to change. Because I enter the tunnel every day, the work I do every day is the same. Huh! The stone came down, huhuhu! Quickly ramming, cement, rubble, repair bridge piers, and drill tunnels. Three shifts, sometimes I went into the cave at night, came out at dawn, and got in the car, feeling groggy. There were no seats in the car, all of them stood, you held me, I held you, drove into the work shed, and went to sleep. When you get up, it's time to go to work again. That kind of life, so I can endure hardship now, because I have already practiced it as a child.
Young Zhang Guoli is not afraid of hardship, but the most feared is homesickness. During the holidays, Zhang Guoli missed his home in Weinan, thousands of miles away.
Zhang Guoli: After I really left, I went to work in a completely unfamiliar environment. I really missed and missed that environment. So when I came back to visit relatives for about two years, I remembered that it was night, very late. When I arrived in Weinan by train, it was about four o’clock. I carried the labor insurance tea and labor insurance.Candies, can't be finished, take them home to the family. Two years later, I will know how to honor my family. It was a very cold winter. I remember knocking on the door and not being able to open it. It took a long time to knock on the door before I woke up, and then came to open the door for me. It felt like I was home. When I met my partner, it was very kind.
Reporter: Where do you feel your roots are?
Zhang Guoli: Yes, it's all the same. In fact, wherever the mother is, the home is. So I must go home at that time. In fact, after leaving Shaanxi, I will have it twice. The two times I went home to visit relatives were back to Weinan until my mother left Weinan. So in my feeling, Shaanxi is also my hometown.
Zhang Guoli From building the railway to playing the drama
In 1972, Zhang Guoli, who had built the railway for two years in the mountains of Guizhou, changed his fate. Because he speaks Mandarin well, he was selected by the Art Troupe of the Second Railway Bureau and became a drama actor.
Zhang Guoli: They found that every time I acted, I would tease this teacher acting on the side scene. In fact, I memorized all the lines of that play.
Reporter: Did you pay attention to this then?
Zhang Guoli: I just like watching other people perform. I belong to this overkill. After running the peasant uprising army, I took the gun and went up again. Then I thought it was no big deal, but I always liked watching them act. After the teacher got sick that day, our teacher took us to the stage and gave it again. I said the lines again, the director said yes, let him go, this is the first time, since then, I have been out of class with the students who enrolled in it. The teacher began to pay attention to me, saying that the child was okay, and the rescue was like fighting a fire. At that time, it was called drilling pot, and those who could drill pot were all good actors. At that time, they started paying attention to me. At the age of 22, he started to play the leading role in a drama in the group. (End)
