Although there are still a few months until 2025, the strongest dark horse drama this year has already appeared -

" Bian Shui" starring Guo Qilin , Ng Zhenyu Past events 》.

Although this drama is a common suspense theme, it has added unlimited attractions because it incorporates the setting of small characters’ exotic adventures. Every episode of

makes people feel very exciting. It feels like you can't get enough of one episode and just wait for updates.

To be honest, it’s been a long time since I’ve seen a drama like this that can get unanimous praise from the audience and reach the peak of popularity with its tap-water reputation.

The word-of-mouth score of 8.1 already shows how strong the quality of "Bianshui Past" is.

After watching the current plot, it is not difficult to find that the success of "Once Upon a Time on the Edge of Water" is inseparable from Guo Qilin. In a sense, Guo Qilin succeeds and fails in this work.

One day, "Once Upon a Time on the Edge of Water" became a hit, and Guo Qilin's acting potential was discovered.

I don't know how many viewers saw Guo Qilin partnering with Wu Zhenyu, and their first reaction was worry.

is worried that an actor like Guo Qilin, who is a cross talk actor with little acting experience and has never studied acting, will hold back the drama and will not be able to take on the role of best actor Wu Zhenyu.

But viewers who follow the show with this kind of worry must have completely changed their views on Guo Qilin after watching the plots of the first few episodes, right?

"Once Upon a Time in Bianshui" not only gave everyone a hearty experience of watching the drama, but also explored Guo Qilin's acting potential.

Audiences who previously thought he could only perform good comedies must be impressed by him.

As soon as Shen Xing, played by Guo Qilin, appeared on the scene, the first impression given to people was that of a young man who had just graduated from school, had little social experience, but had a bright mind.

Guo Qilin, who is a little fat, not that handsome, and is about the same height, is the perfect choice for this role.

After all, only an inconspicuous image in a crowd can he play an ordinary little character like Shen Xing.

And Guo Qilin's performance is also very interesting. When facing his uncle, he showed that he wanted the other party to see his mature side. At this time, Guo Qilin played Shen Xing in a simple and straightforward manner, and it seemed that he had not experienced the world at first glance.

But as his uncle disappeared, he was involved in the internal fighting of the Daban brothers, and met Uncle Guai (played by Wu Zhenyu) and others. Guo Qilin once again vividly performed the fear of ordinary people facing death.

As soon as he heard the sound of the gunshot, he subconsciously hurriedly avoided it. He was so scared that the muscles on his face were trembling. When Uncle Guai pointed the gun at him, the fear in Guo Qilin's eyes was very real as he was kneeling on the ground.

fell to the ground and cried loudly after escaping death, and once again acted out the emotion of helplessness and fear.

When he gradually gained the trust of Uncle Guai and others, and became a member of the Daban brothers, Guo Qilin's status changed again.

Dressed more and more like Uncle Guai, with his slicked back hair and carefree demeanor, he looked like a ruffian, but I also saw more calmness and confidence in him.

Guo Qilin performed the contrast and process of this character from the initial discomfort to the gradual integration into it. Because the state is so natural, it even feels that Guo Qilin does not look like the actor, he is Shen Xing himself.

The control of many small emotions is also very good. The reluctance to let go of the Daban brothers, the restraint and embarrassment of being teased by a beautiful woman for the first time, are all very appropriate.

The entire character transformation was presented in detail, allowing the audience to clearly see his growth process.

Guo Qilin not only showed no timidity, but also showed an unprecedented level of acting skills. This is also because most of his previous portrayals were comedians, and the feeling of acting in his true colors was stronger.

But the role of Shen Xing needs acting skills. Without some level, he really can’t support the role.

2. Wu Zhenyu praised Guo Qilin for his talent, and Zhang Ziyi has a sharp eye.

As an ordinary audience, Guo Qilin's acting skills will not make you think of the drama at all, and you will even have a strong sense of immersion. So, in the eyes of top players like Wu Zhenyu, how does Guo Qilin perform?

If you have watched the variety shows that Wu Zhenyu participated in recording, you will know that when it comes to acting, he has always been outspoken and asked various questions from a professional perspective.

It is Wu Zhenyu’s true temperament that makes many actors unable to get off the stage.

Regarding Guo Qilin, who collaborated with him in "Once Upon a Time on the Edge of Water", Ng Zhenyu's evaluation was unexpectedly high, and it can be said that every sentence touched the hearts of the audience.

"In fact, acting should not be learned. Do some photographers need to read photography books? All theories are for people who are obsessed with this but do not have the talent to integrate into the public. We cannot say that, he (Guo Qilin) ​​can perform a lot The character is also very natural and will not hold anyone back, but it is indeed talent."

Looking at the entire entertainment industry, there are only a handful of actors who can be called talented. It is recognized that Zhou Xun, . Wang Baoqiang and others.

And many movie kings and movie queens have become recognized by everyone as powerful actors through their hard work. The prerequisite is also the support of a lot of theory and experience.

In Wu Zhenyu’s words, these people are just ordinary people without talent who have blended into the public.

But when he evaluated Guo Qilin’s acting skills, he used the word talent.

In other words, in Wu Zhenyu's view, Guo Qilin's ability to play the role so well is his innate ability. Even if he does not need so much experience and theory, he can still reach a level that ordinary people cannot reach. .

This fully shows that in Wu Zhenyu's eyes, Guo Qilin is a very good actor, not an ordinary person who only knows how to perform tricks.

After reading Wu Zhenyu’s evaluation, I realized that what Zhang Ziyi said was right.

When Guo Qilin participated in the show " I am an actor ", Zhang Ziyi once praised Guo Qilin's acting skills. Perhaps many people at the time thought that Zhang Ziyi said this for the sake of Guo Degang.

It seems from now on that Zhang Ziyi was actually very discerning early on. However, at that time, Guo Qilin did not have the support of works such as "Bianshui Past", so it did not sound so convincing.

But it turns out that Zhang Ziyi was not wrong about the person.

Conclusion

Guo Qilin is also the second generation star in the circle. Everyone must have seen how famous his father Guo Degang is.

It is precisely because of this halo of his father's generation that Guo Qilin has always been somewhat dependent on his father for food, and he has always been labeled as Guo Degang's son.

But in fact, the acting path that Guo Qilin chooses now has little to do with Guo Degang. This is not an area that Guo Degang is good at. Even if Guo Degang helps behind it, if Guo Qilin has no acting skills, he will be ridiculed by the crowd.

The fact is that he not only broke through, but also did so beautifully. This is the confidence brought by hard power.

What do you think of Guo Qilin's acting skills?
