Character evaluation

Gu just makes full use of his fat body and loud voice to shape the characters. He doesn't like to portray the characters in one move, bit by bit, but pays attention to the unity of one action. Regardless of the style of performance or director, Gu's art is based on realism. His demand for the purpose of the play is to have strong emotional color and strong emotional impact, and at the same time pay attention to explore the subtle changes of the characters' feelings, inner disputes and ideological contradictions (Nantong online review).

In the stage play "imperial envoy minister", Gu just plays a fatuous and greedy mayor vividly with exaggerated and appropriate performance. From actor to director, Gu's role in film creation has changed, but his realistic road of being loyal to reality and reflecting reality has not changed. He has always attached importance to choosing plays with correct political direction and healthy progress. His directing style, early pay more attention to the unity of a coherent, and later with the growing maturity of art. Starting from the movie luohanqian, it has the characteristics of delicacy, freshness and lively rhythm. The movie "spark" and "underground route" have made beneficial exploration in the use of lens segmentation and scene scheduling, as well as the pursuit of nationality. In his creative practice, he noticed the subtle changes of the characters' emotions, inner entanglements and ideological contradictions. Although sometimes there are elements of naturalism, on the whole, his new explorations and efforts made his directing style more rich and perfect, so as to rise to a higher level (Century Review).
