Compared with when it first started, the relationship between the characters in the current "Seventy-two Tenants" is much more complicated, but it can be roughly divided into two factions.
One faction is the poor people at the bottom of the compound represented by Ji Gongfu, Dr. Jin, Wumei and others, although they are poor, they are very backbone and will not do things with a bad conscience for money.
There is also a group of people, such as Prince Bing, Bagu, Director Niu and Sanliujiu, who were powerful villains at that time, and they committed many evil deeds for the sake of power and wealth.
However, in the play, there is a character who is neither a kind and poor person in the compound, nor is he as reckless as 369, he is the courtier of Prince Bing's pawnshop, Hua Murong.
In the second episode of the tenth season, "The Dragon and Phoenix Hua Murong Among People", the character of Hua Murong officially appeared.
In the ninth season, Gu Shihua, a courtier of Bingsheng Daijiao, was expelled by Prince Bing for stealing the pawn shop's belongings for falsifying accounts. Subsequently, Prince Bing invited Murong who came to China and made him the new courtier of the pawnshop.
Since they both wore glasses and dressed similarly, many viewers mistakenly thought that Gu Shihua and Hua Murong were actually the same person. If you look closely, you will find that Gu Shihua's face is relatively square, and there is a significant mole near his chin, while Hua is an elegant and polite person, and you can tell at a glance that he is a gentleman.
Hua Murong, who was born in a family of Eight Banners, has extensive knowledge and high IQ and emotional intelligence, and is Prince Bing's right-hand man, and has reached out to help him through difficulties many times. In addition to these, he also accepted Ah Xiang as his apprentice, instructed her on how to serve as a courtier, and provided Bagu with strategies to fight Sun Jinzhen.
Although Hua Murong was born in the family of Prince Bing, he did not blindly follow power. He always lends a helping hand when the tenants of the compound are in trouble, and even the witty Ji Gongfu has deep respect for him.
In the work "Seventy-two Tenants", the role of Hua Murong is undoubtedly a rare and perfect character. Before he appeared, there was also a character in the play, that is, Zhou Ping, Han's grandmother, but in fact, she had left ten years ago.
Playing the role of Hua Murong is an actor named Li Guozhong.
In 1975, Li Guozhong was successfully admitted to the Guangzhou Repertory Theatre and has been an actor in the troupe ever since. Over the past few decades, Lai has performed in numerous plays, including works such as "Yin and Yang Shock", "Complex" and "Starlight".
In addition to these, he has also participated in a number of film and television productions, including TV series such as "The Shocking Iron Case", "The Case of the Southern Country" and "SWAT Flying Dragon", as well as movies such as "Lychee Red" and "Here Comes a Man".
Despite his professional background as an actor, Lai is still an outstanding show host. The programs "New Computer Era" and "New Concept of Health" hosted by Guangzhou TV won the second prize of the 6th National Excellent Education Program and the first prize of the 7th National Excellent Education Program respectively.
Before Li Guozhong played the role of "Hua Murong" in "Seventy-two Tenants", he had already played many roles in the play, such as Boss Huang, Cui Minggui, Lao Ding, etc., I don't know if you have noticed?
Li Guozhong is not only an actor and host, he also has a little-known role, that is, a middle-aged and elderly male model.
Because of his excellent appearance and figure, Li Guozhong was already a middle-aged and elderly male model in an online store before 2019. Li Guozhong has publicly said that middle-aged and elderly male models are usually higher than female models when shooting clothing products, and under normal circumstances, the cost of studio photography is 200 yuan per piece, while the cost of outdoor shooting is more expensive.
From the costumes of Li Guozhong** displayed in a photography studio in Guangzhou, we can observe the calmness and elegance he shows under the lens, and his movement skills are very professional, perfectly presenting the uniqueness of the product.
Li Guozhong has grown from a decades-long career as a drama actor to a well-known "Hua Murong" to a male model at the age of 60, and his life experience shows us the endless possibilities in life. We should not limit our determination to follow our dreams because we are getting older, because anything is possible.
