"Hot and Hot" has become the most popular film and television work this Spring Festival, and it is the second film directed by director Jia Ling. Although it is a remake of a Japanese film, it is very well localized, and it has both funny and inspirational elements, which has won the love of a wide range of audiences. It is worth mentioning that this movie also invited Hong Kong star Li Guolin to participate in the performance.
Not long ago, Li Guolin shared a photo with Jia Ling on social **, and the two hugged each other closely, comparing hearts to the camera, and had a very good relationship with each other.
In "Hot and Hot", there is an ironic plot: Lei Jiayin invited Jia Ling to participate in outdoor activities in the gym, only to find that "Hong Kong superstar" Li Guolin was performing on stage. He dressed up as the image of Gu Mozhi in "Dragon Babu", and brought the audience a "Difficult Sutra" (the theme song of "Dragon Babu").
The plot shown by Li Guolin in the film accurately reflects the situation of today's out-of-gas Hong Kong stars, most of whom currently make a living mainly from performing in the mainland, and although it is not as dazzling as when it was popular, the income is not less than before.
Just by singing the details of "The Difficult Sutra", it can be seen that it is very realistic and realistic, because many actors who starred in "Dragon Babu" chose this song when they went to the acupoint, such as Fan Shaohuang, Zhang Guoqiang who played "Murong Fu", Chen Haomin, etc.
Hong Kong stars usually don't dress up as characters when they go to the caves, they mostly wear formal clothes, and sometimes on the background screen ** some of their clips in the movie to evoke emotional resonance from the audience.
Old Hong Kong stars usually play classic roles when participating in variety shows. In 2019, the actors of "Dragon Babu" reunited in the program "Ace vs. Ace", including Huang Rihua, Li Ruotong, Chen Haomin, Fan Shaohuang, He Meitian, Li Guolin, Liu Yucui, Pan Zhiwen, Li Hongjie, etc., jointly restored the character image in the play.
Li Guolin just showed his face at that time, reminiscing about the past with everyone, and did not participate in the later game sessions. He revealed that it was Jia Ling who invited him to make a cameo appearance in "Hot and Hot", and it seems that it was this encounter that gave him this opportunity.
In the past two years, Li Guolin has actually frequently played the role of Gu Mozhi, not only to record funny**, but also to appear many times in live broadcasts and game promotional videos.
It can be said that it is still the "source of wealth" of Li Guolin. In fact, many old Hong Kong stars have such an experience, as long as they rely on one or two characters that the audience remembers, they can live a worry-free life.
Of course, Li Guolin is not limited to guest roles in dramas, although he occasionally plays supporting roles in TVB dramas, but most of the time he performs commercially in the mainland, so he has become a veritable "king of caves".
Many Hong Kong movie stars of the older generation like to participate in commercial performances because this kind of work is easy and makes money quickly. Take Li Guolin as an example, he can now earn 50,000 yuan for a commercial performance, and he only needs to sing two or three songs. Such an income is coveted by many. And with the success of "Hot and Hot", his performance fee may increase significantly.
Li Guolin has previously tried to make money by bringing goods through live streaming, and even tried to sell sanitary napkins and safety pants. Despite his risk-taking efforts, sales were sluggish and he received a lot of criticism, so he soon stopped carrying goods.
Although Li Guolin is already old, his hard work has not weakened, so don't think that he is not financially strong, in fact he is very wealthy.
Lee Kwok Lun owns a villa near Clear Water Bay, and although it looks old and low on the outside, it has a luxurious interior decoration. Such a property in Hong Kong is difficult for many people to obtain in their lifetime.
Li Guolin's family has 4 famous cars, the most affordable one costs 300,000 yuan, and the most expensive one is a limited edition sports car with a market value of up to 5 million.
Li Guolin is 69 years old, but he is still rich and keeps working hard, does this spirit inspire people to be positive more than "Hot and Hot"?
