The original 69-year-old Hong Kong star made a guest appearance in YOLO, and he played the embarrassing role of Hong Kong star. He has become the "king of acupuncture" outside the play.
A few days ago, Li Guolin took a photo with Jia Ling when filming. They hugged each other closely and compared their hearts to the camera. The relationship was really good.
There is such an ironic scene in YOLO: Lei Jiayin invited Jia Ling to the outdoor activity site of the gym and found Li Guolin, a "Hong Kong superstar", performing on the stage. He dressed up as the model of Ku Mo-chi in "Eight Dragons" and sang a "Difficult Classic" (the theme song of "Eight Dragons") for everyone.
This scene presented by Li Guolin in the film reflects the current situation of the past Hong Kong stars. Most of them are now mainly engaged in acupuncture in the mainland. Although they are not so beautiful, they earn as much as when they were popular.
It’s very realistic to sing "A Difficult Classic" alone, because many actors from "Dragon’s Eight Branches" sang this song when they went to the cave, such as Fan Shaohuang, "Mu Rongfu" Zhang Guoqiang and Benny Chan.
In fact, Hong Kong stars usually don’t dress up as in the play when they go to the cave. Most of them wear formal clothes. At most, they broadcast some clips of them in the play on the background screen to awaken everyone’s feelings.
Old Hong Kong stars play classic roles, usually in variety shows. Felix Wong Yat Wa, Carman Lee, Benny Chan, Fan Shaohuang, He Meitian, Li Guolin, Rain, Pan Zhiwen, and Li Hongjie were all present when the actors of "Eight Dragons" reunited in "Ace to Ace" in 2019, and restored the style of the play together.
At that time, Li Guolin just showed up, reminiscing about the past together, and didn’t participate in the later game links. Li Guolin revealed that Jia Ling invited him to make a guest appearance in YOLO. It seems that it was this intersection that gave him this opportunity.
In fact, in the past two years, Li Guolin has played the role of Ku Mo Zhi, sometimes to record funny videos, sometimes in live broadcasts, and sometimes to shoot promotional videos for games.
It can be said that the role of Jiu Mozhi is still Li Guolin’s "source of wealth". In fact, many old Hong Kong stars are like this, only relying on one or two characters that the audience remembers, and they have no worries about food and clothing since then.
Of course, Li Guolin didn’t just play the acupuncture point in the play. Although he occasionally played a supporting role in TVB’s plays, he spent most of his time in mainland China, becoming a veritable "acupuncture point king".
Many old Hong Kong stars like to run commercial performances because it is easy and quick to get money. Take Li Guolin for example, he can still earn 50,000 yuan for running a race, just singing two or three songs, which is enough for many people to envy. Now the fire in YOLO, I’m afraid his appearance fee will go up a lot.
Before, Li Guolin also tried to bring goods by live broadcast, and even once sold sanitary napkins and safety pants. Although he was so free, his sales were bleak and attracted a lot of criticism, so he quickly terminated his business of carrying goods.
Although Li Guolin is so old, I think he is down and out. In fact, he has very strong financial resources.
Li Guolin has a villa near Qingshui Bay. Although it looks old and low in appearance, it is luxuriously decorated inside. Such a house in Hong Kong is beyond the reach of many people.
Li Guolin still has four famous cars at home, the cheapest one is 300,000 yuan, and the most expensive one is a limited edition sports car with a market price of 5 million yuan.
Li Guolin, who is 69 years old and still so rich, still works so hard. Is it more inspiring than YOLO?
