On the stage of Dragon TV's Spring Festival Gala in the Year of the Dragon, the most anticipated program is undoubtedly the reunion of the crew of "Flowers" and "Old Lady".
When the Jiefang** Shangguan News reporter met the comic actor Chen Guoqing in the backstage lounge, the topic naturally revolved around these two dramas. As a Shanghai actor who participated in these two dramas, Chen Guoqing has been very busy this year, reuniting with the crew of "Flowers" after filming this side, and celebrating the 30th anniversary of the Shanghai-style sitcom "Old Lady" with old friends.
For Chen Guoqing, these two crews are both crews that strive for excellence, if you have to compare, ""Flowers" is stricter than "Old Lady", and the shots are really good after repeated polishing. Even I was amazed at how it could be so good-looking. ”
Talking about "Flowers": The 10-minute camera was shot for more than 10 days.
Chen Guoqing was dressed in a silver suit and tie, and he was very particular about his hairstyle and style. When "Flowers" was on the air, he was busy rehearsing the Shanghai-style burlesque "Baoxingli", and after the performance, he had time to catch up on Dragon TV, and he must watch the Shanghainese version.
Dragon TV's Spring Festival Gala of the Year of the Dragon, many Shanghainese actors from the "Flowers" crew will appear together, including Hu Ge, Tang Yan, Zheng Kai, Chen Long, Chen Guoqing, Fan Xiangyan, Chen Guanning, Cheng Liang, Huang Ling, etc., continue to write the story of Jinxian Road on the stage, Ma Yili and You Benchang will send New Year blessings to the audience in a special way.

Chen Guoqing plays the landlord "Teacher Ge" on Jinxian Road in the play. In the small restaurant "Night Tokyo" opened by Reiko (played by Ma Yili), Reiko, Teacher Ge, Linghong, Tao Tao, waiters Xiaowen, Xiaoqin and chef "Little Monk" form a group of seven and stay together almost every day. "I joined the group in May 2021 and will finish in 2023, three years before and after. Filming "Flowers" looks difficult, but it's actually quite happy. When the group broke up, everyone shed tears and was very sad, because they had been together for too long and their feelings were quite deep. ”

There is a scene of everyone quarreling in Tokyo at night, a 10-minute shot, filmed for more than 10 days, and filmed until midnight every day. "We have a good relationship and can't quarrel all the time. The camera rushed from here to here, from room to room, and everyone's emotions couldn't be broken. ”
Chen Guoqing said that maybe the audience didn't notice it, but the glasses on the bridge of Mr. Ge's nose, because the lights would reflect and affect the shooting, it was he who proposed it to the director to find a way to take the glasses off during the quarrel. So at the beginning of the argument, Papi pulled his glasses and took them off. My heart is settled, and there is a clang. In the last shot, I stood at the door crying, because Reiko scolded me for being an 'old turtle', and it was okay for anyone to scold me, and Reiko scolded me for feeling very sad. After this shot, more than 300 people in the lighting, photography, etc., all clapped.
There are many rivalries between Mr. Ge and Lingzi, and Chen Guoqing praised Ma Yili's dedication. Including aura, lines, and faces, you really have to learn from her, ordinary actors can't do it. She struggled to shoot "Flowers", and often filmed alone in the middle of the night. Chen Guoqing recalled that he first thought that after the night Tokyo was knocked out, he would have no role, but he didn't expect that there would be later. Version 0. "After the night Tokyo was gone, I had a shot of Reiko looking at it, and the director said that there should be a little tear in the eyes, but not all tears. I didn't take several shots, I asked Ma Yili to go back to sleep first, and she insisted on staying at the scene to accompany me, I was really moved. ”

Blossom is a crew that stumps all the actors. For Chen Guoqing, which scene is the most challenging? He smiled, and the deepest impression was that he went to the reopened night Tokyo to try dishes and eat braised pork. "Chen Long and Papi have finished filming, saying that they have eaten a lot and are sad to death. They came over to scare me, saying that Uncle should shoot tomorrow. Before the start of filming, Chen Guoqing went over to see that there were 60 pieces of braised pork in the basin, and the prop master on the side asked if it was enough, "I don't want to eat meat for the rest of my life." The camera of this scene is close, and the director's requirement is that when you eat meat, you will think of my old woman, and you must have a feeling of tears. At the same time, when you bite into it, the oil will come out. Later, when the shooting was done, I ordered some and ate eight pieces. ”

In Chen Guoqing's eyes, director Wong Kar-wai is "meticulous and amiable", "He respects our opinions very much, but he is very strict, as long as there is a little wrong, he will reshoot." After meeting his requirements, the audience applauded with a 'card-', and the scene ended. In the three years of the crew of "Flowers", he learned a lot from film and television actors. "Film and television actors are different from funny actors, we are more exaggerated, their lines are very good, I have learned a lot from Hu Ge, Ma Yili, Chen Long, Papi, including the two Xiao Nan, I am really grateful to them. ”
Talking about "Old Lady": The creative atmosphere is very strong.
In addition to "Flowers", another topic is "Old Lady". From the premiere of "Old Lady" in September 1995 to the last episode in December 2007, this Shanghai-style sitcom has broadcast more than 1,000 episodes. The whole play uses humor and humor to interpret the lives of ordinary people in Shanghai. Among them, the "Iron Triangle" lineup composed of "Aqing" played by Chen Guoqing, "Adege" played by Mao Mengda, and "Du Luguan" played by Yao Qier has become the common memory of a generation of Shanghainese. In order to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the broadcast, the actors of "Old Lady" will reunite on the stage of Dragon TV's Spring Festival Gala on the first day of the Lunar New Year.
The crew of "Old Lady" will reunite on the stage of Dragon TV.
In 30 years, a lot has happened in between. The group of "Old Lady" is quite united, everyone creates together, and the atmosphere is very strong. Chen Guoqing remembered that when he joined the group, he had already filmed 200 episodes, and the first line was "Pearl milk tea is so delicious". From the earliest operation of a milk tea shop, to the later operation of a supermarket next to the coffee bar, Aqing also has a classic line "The supermarket is your home, take whatever you want". "This sentence was actually thought up by my wife, and there were originally two more sentences at the end, please pay for it, and come back tomorrow. It turned out to be too long, but the first two sentences are pretty good. ”
To this day, Chen Guoqing still remembers the excellence he made when he was filming. On several occasions, the actors had already finished filming and rested, but when they came back to think about it, they felt that "the shooting did not go well", so they returned to the studio to shoot again. "I went back and started again, and when I went to the studio, the lights and cameras were removed, so I told everyone to help us shoot again. It's really a frame-by-frame, a link, and a link; Even if it has been filmed very maturely in the end, it is still meticulous. ”

After "Old Lady" stopped broadcasting, many people hoped that Chen Guoqing would continue to shoot sitcoms, and even Wuxi TV stations sent invitations. But he felt that "Old Lady" was so classic that it was difficult for a new sitcom to surpass it. "I can't shoot anymore, so why shoot it? ”
Speaking of "Old Lady", Chen Guoqing misses the three people very much. "Teacher Li Jiusong is a real old lady, and we rely on him for food. There are also our choreographers and directors Tu Yaolin and 'Uncle Wang' Wang Shuangbai, I miss them very much. ”
