A resolute decision and an impulsive move changed Chen Baoguo's life. He was born in 1956 into a family of ordinary workers. After graduating from high school, unwilling to repeat his father's hard work in a machinery factory, Chen Baoguo has been looking for a turning point. Until one day, he learned that the China Drama Academy was recruiting students, and there was a chance to break free from the shackles of the factory, and he saw hope in his pursuit of the stage. 
Even though acting was a completely new field for him and he had never been in contact with it, Chen Baoguo still mustered up all the courage to apply for the exam. When reviewing the list of all applicants, the eyes of several teachers were attracted by Chen Baoguo's handsome and upright appearance. A big guy with no acting foundation dared to travel a long distance to Beijing to break through, and this spirit of daring to challenge also made the teachers' eyes shine. In order to stand out in the interview, Chen Baoguo told the truth about his origin in the self-introduction session. It is true that he knows nothing about acting, but there is an infinite imagination for the transformation of the character. With no experience, he was able to accurately understand several character traits proposed by the examiner, and immediately imitated his own intonation and movements. The examiners were surprised to find that the young man from the countryside was born with a keen sense of drama and the potential for talent. 
In this way, Chen Baoguo got his wish and stepped into the palace of drama. Here he spent the best four years of his life. In 2006, when Chen Baoguo's career was booming after transforming from a small role to a popular film and television actor, he also began to further examine his positioning in the entertainment industry. Being a performance artist alone is obviously not enough to adapt to this materialistic era. So when Hongmao Pharmaceutical Distillery offered a sky-high price of 2.2 million yuan and invited him to serve as an advertising spokesperson for 2 years, Chen Baoguo readily agreed. Pharmaceutical executives see Chen Baoguo as a lifesaver. The drug has been criticized by regulators for repeatedly exaggerating its efficacy, and its performance has deteriorated. Now, they desperately need a spokesperson for a positive image to repackage the brand. 
After inspecting many celebrities, Chen Baoguo's face playing a righteous role in "Mansion Gate" has the most appeal and trust. When Chen Baoguo vigorously promoted its cure for all diseases in a TV commercial for medicinal liquor, claiming that it was especially suitable for the elderly, controversy in the industry also followed. Some medical experts pointed out that this drug is not suitable for certain groups, and it simply cannot ** so many diseases. To make matters worse, pharmaceutical companies have been fined and shut down in several provinces. However, all these hidden worries did not make Chen Baoguo flinch. In his opinion, the income of 2.2 million yuan can be used for a longer time to focus on artistic creation, which is a dream that he has been determined to achieve since he was a child. 
So driven by profits, he chose to turn a blind eye to the various problems of the drug itself and continued to hype it up. This has undoubtedly become a hurdle that is difficult for him to cross in the process of jumping from the focus to the cusp. If Chen Baoguo has lost his paradigm in commercial endorsements, then he spares no effort to present the role in front of the screen. In 2010, when he took over the movie "Teahouse", in order to perfectly interpret the image of a withered old man, he went to the Yunnan Plateau alone and exercised in the local harsh environment. In the first few days, altitude sickness and cold weather made it difficult for him to adapt. But thinking that he had to lose nearly 20 pounds of weight to match the role, Chen Baoguo persevered. He runs through the highland meadows during the day and sleeps under a thin quilt at night. After a month of repeating this, his body was already skinny and haggard. At this moment, a sudden heavy rain drenched Chen Baoguo, who was still in the wild. The accident caused him to have a high fever that did not go away, and his whole body was almost dehydrated. All the crew members advised him to recuperate for a while before continuing filming. But thinking of the huge pressure on the film investors, Chen was unwilling to delay the progress because of himself. 
So he endured a high fever of 38 degrees and appeared in front of the camera. When he appeared in the old teahouse in rags and bones, everyone was struck by the spirit he put in. That day, he stared into the distance with vicissitudes of life, as if recalling the unknown past of an ordinary old man. In this way, Chen Baoguo perfectly presented this role. And this has become his way of conquering one screen image after another, burning himself endlessly, just to fully integrate life into art. Once, the outside world misunderstood whether Chen Baoguo was also suffering from "star disease", and began to raise his posture and ask for special treatment. An incident in 2006 seemed to confirm this speculation. It was a cold winter night, and the crew was working on location in a scenic spot somewhere in the north. In order to catch up with the filming schedule, everyone was overloaded until 2 a.m. After finishing work, the field manager specially brought a hot meal to the leading actor Chen Baoguo. Unexpectedly, when Chen Baoguo touched the lunch box and found that the dishes inside were already cold, he was directly furious and threw the lunch box to the ground. 
The casual temper of the "star" seems to be on full display at this moment. To the embarrassment of all the staff, in order to prevent Chen Baoguo from being in a bad state in front of the camera the next day, he could only buy hot supper and send it to his room again. Unexpectedly, this time, Chen's face was even more ugly than just now. It turned out that he insisted that the labor of every staff member in the crew was equally valuable. It's completely unfair to enjoy special care just because you're a starring role. So, he insisted that everyone must re-divide the hot meals, and the field affairs suddenly realized. This small incident fully proves that the essence of Chen Bao's heart has not changed because of success. He treats all his partners involved in the production as equals. It is precisely because of this positive team concept that he has won the reputation of "old drama bone" in the circle, which is well deserved. When asked why he was so desperately devoted, Chen Baoguo gave the most honest answer: "The play is bigger than the sky, and the play is bigger than life." This sentence has almost become his life motto, driving him all the way in the film and television industry. 
In 2010, director Guo Baochang approached Chen and wanted him to star in a low-budget movie. This character is an ordinary farmer who needs to show the vicissitudes of life and gray hair in old age. At first, Chen Baoguo was very difficult, because the salary was meager and he needed to make a lot of styling adjustments. But when he read the whole script, he was deeply moved by this story that reflected the life of the grassroots. He vividly remembers that he also came from the countryside, and that his parents had worked hard in the fields. In order to support the director to complete this warm work, Chen Baoguo not only returned the salary he had signed, but also mortgaged his house for the second time to solve the crisis of shortage of funds for post-production. In order to match the role, he did not hesitate to change his face with plastic surgery and add a lot of smoky makeup. However, this new makeup made his eyes severely red and swollen and his high fever did not go away, and he had to go to the hospital for medical treatment on the 61st day of shooting. 
For the sake of this role, I can burn!When the doctor advised him to stop work and recuperate, Chen Baoguo said. It is his fanaticism to devote everything he has to fulfill the mission of the film that has achieved the birth of generations of excellent works. It is true that there is no shortage of shocking and questioning parts in Chen Baoguo's story. He has given so much for the image of the silver screen, and sometimes we can't help but wonder if such paranoia is wise. But perhaps what is more worthy is that Chen Baoguo represents an artist who uses his life to practice his original intention. In this materialistic era, such a spirit is particularly valuable. It is worth looking forward to the emergence of more new generations with ideals and wisdom among film and television workers. They will insist on the quality of their art while also knowing how to control and protect themselves. 
With a peaceful and kind heart, observe life in detail and create works with warmth. They will balance the demands of all parties and maintain harmony with investors, audiences and even families. In this state of calmness, they are also most likely to realize themselves and show the greatest charm of the screen image. is like their predecessor Chen Baoguo, who holds up a blue sky for Chinese films. I believe that in the near future, more new and old actors will emerge in the film industry, and they will inherit the spirit of their predecessors and interpret this era with another attitude. Let's wait and see how they write a new chapter in Chinese culture.
