张彻见郭追一见钟情 郭追见张彻一见发抖
[ 作者:斌妮 | 更新时间:2009-2-8 ]
文/斌妮《南国电影》


许多时,我们都不叫郭追作郭追,我们管他叫郭跑。

「郭跑呀!」他初时听到这样叫,总是扬着眉毛笑,觉得好玩。现在?早已习惯了。

郭追郭跑确可爱

你们一定不知道,郭追为何会有这样一个怪艺名吧!追,追什么鬼?张彻怎会想出了这个名字来?如果你是台湾人,你就知道郭追用国语念起来,有什么意思──「郭追」的国语念法,就等于台湾语中的「可爱」;为什么一个大男人会叫「可爱」?尤其是个打仔?

「那是我十四岁时候,已经有的花名,叫了好多年;张导演后来干脆就把『可爱』翻成国语,做了我的艺名。」郭追一说,我才知道有这典故。

郭追今年二十四岁,是张彻六小将之一;其实郭追说起来不算新人,至少不像罗莽孙建等新,他和江生早已拍过电影,譬如「八国联军」等;但正式被张彻看重,给予机会,尚是去年的事。所以虽然跟长弓不少日子,但在银幕上,郭追仍是一个新人。

最近,郭追与其它五小将江生、孙建、罗莽、韦白、鹿峰拍了部「五毒」,又与罗莽拍了部「生死门」。听说,都相当不错。

「我没希望自己很红,我怕摔,」郭追说:「不要不红,也不需要大红,保持稳定就好。」

时来运到毛虫追

平日,我每天都可在化妆间看到郭追,坐在同一个位置上化妆。每次我走进门口时,他便从镜里扬扬眉毛,「嗨,你好!」,大家打个招呼。有次,他替一个女记者 小露宝改了个花名叫「毛虫」,对方不服气,于是回敬他一个「毛虫追」。自此,有时我们远远看到他便「毛虫追」、「郭跑」的喊,玩笑开了不少;但认真坐下来 聊聊却是从未试过。所以一晚深夜,电话打到去清水湾,我说:「郭追,给我们讲讲你的历史故事好不好?」我只知道,你以前耍过杂技。

「我的故事呀,你要听哪一段?」郭追哈哈地笑了两阵,然后便慢慢地说起来,说得很仔细。

平生故事说端详

「我拍电影以前,是做特技的──即是你们说的杂技──我在台湾搞过一个杂技团,就是与江生和几个朋友一起搞的;我们在台北的夜总会,还有台南、台中、高雄等地方表演。」不过那时候赚不到钱,也存不到钱,钞票一到手就花掉了。所以郭追和江生等混了半年便解散。

「我去过两次日本,都是表演特技;我十四岁便进入一个闽南剧团,学翻觔斗翻得不错,后来又学了一点功夫,所以耍杂技耍得不错。」

「嗳,等一下,」我打断了他的故事,「你十几岁的时候,为什么不念书,跑去学翻觔斗呢?」

捡柴捱打为一饭

「为什么不读书?」郭追低笑了一下,「我小的时候呀,环境很不好。妈妈也是跑江湖的,她不能把许多孩子带在身边,于是把我和弟弟送到新竹去,我弟弟过继了 给叔叔婶婶当儿子,我就住在祖母家。妈妈希望我在新竹,可以好好念书,可是,我七岁到新竹,住了六年,逃课三年,小学还差一年都没有毕业。」

「你为什么不争气,常躲懒?」

「我没衣服穿,也没鞋子。」郭追声音沙沙地:「你知道,我住到祖母家,是要念书,要花钱的嘛,祖母是乡下人,也没多少钱。要她拿学费出来,她心里就不高兴 哪。有时就──就刻薄我,白天只准我吃一碗饭,晚上喝一碗粥;她常要我早上上山捡柴、做工,我不做就要捱打,没饭吃,所以我上两天课停一天的,后来到五年 级那年,妈妈也觉得我太苦,就叫大哥接我回台北,最后一年也没念了。」

郭追平日总是笑嘻嘻的,看来十分乐观,是个快乐人,听他的童年故事,我感到十分意外,心里替小郭追难受起来。

幼年母子混江湖

郭追回到台北时,已经十三岁,跟妈妈跑了一年江湖,便由人介绍进一个闽南剧团,学翻觔斗,舞台功架,一直混了六、七年。

「那时候,我认识一个女孩子,她也是戏子,但她母亲管教很严,不喜欢女儿跟我交朋友,认为我没份正职,没出息;我女朋友就劝我,不如找份铁工做做,也算一技之长。」于是郭追便跑去当月薪台币二百的铁工,又烧又搥的,熬了三个月,捱不下去,转而替人盖房子。

「盖房子有五十台币一天,比起铁工算不错啦。」郭追笑。但这份工作太辛苦,郭追干了一年多,身体捱不来,放弃了。就在那时遇上江生。

「杂技团解散后,你又怎样了?」

郭追忽然笑起来,他说:「那时,我已经跟女朋友重新在一起了──有两年多,我们没机会联络过,后来有天在夜总会碰上,就像拍电影一般;」郭追说,当时他的 心像要从口里跳出来;「她见我又在混,又劝我找份正当职业,不如做贸易公司的职员,我就去啦。然后,我做了两年贸易公司的小职员,本来打算开个小工厂,不 够钱;去了一趟日本去演特技,回来后,就进了武行,赚一百块钱一天。」他太太这时亦不反对了,因为她知道郭追喜欢练武,更喜欢电影,而干武行比跑江湖算是 稳定得多。

然而有一天,张彻到彰化为「八国联军」拍外景,需要大量武师。武行头告诉郭追:「如果要八个,你便没份了。」

「我拼命祈祷,希望有份,因为我几乎每部张导演的戏都看过,你不知道张彻两个字在台湾多大。」郭追说。结果上帝没让他失望。

「后来导演开『红孩儿』,需要一个石头人,叫我试镜,试完,看片子,他问我觉得怎样?我说自己好丑,好别扭,他笑。刘家良跟我说,以后有机会他们会找我。 我一听,就心想:没机会啦!」没料到张彻开「马可波罗」时,片中四名主角中的一角,准备起用郭追,但郭追接到通知时,不知道是这样重的角色,他只知道自己 答应别人再去一次日本在先,推了!

「我早知道就不推了,这个角色后来由李艺民演,如果我当时不去日本,情形可能比现再好一点。」郭追显得很遗憾。

从日本回来后,郭追便加入了长弓。

「后来导演跟我说,他对我是一见钟情。」

一个钟情一个抖

「你呢?」

「我呀,我却见他时连话都说不出来,双脚在发抖。他好威风呀!」

我大笑,差点没呛死。

一个一见钟情,一个一见发抖,如今,郭追是张彻的得意新契仔之一。

张彻说:「几个人之中,郭追学武最快,易上手,而且练得勤。」这是从张彻一众契仔口中问回来的。张彻最怕人钝,郭追领悟力好,学得快,打出来好看,张彻自然喜欢他,而且郭追相当耿直。

「导演有次说你主意多多,是麻烦鬼。」我说。

为人坦诚够爽直

郭追笑,他说:「是真的。有段时期我常去找导演,他烦死了。」那时郭追初来香港,又挂住台湾的太太,又看不惯这里的许多事;「我想到,就要提出嘛,我是藏 不住话的,跟鹿峰一样,很土性。」郭追道。现在他慢慢安定下来,不再一会又说要走,一会又说要解约,所以张彻也不嫌他烦了,每次提起来总是哈哈笑。

「导演对我们几个人,真的不错,给我们许多机会,能红不能红,是我们自己的命数了。」郭追对张彻,看来相当感激。他以前苦哈哈的,今天,比过去强得多,郭追心中一直很感谢张彻。

郭追从没想过自己会当上明星,他以前只爱看电影,看到银幕上的明星打得精采,他便喝采,羡慕得要命,如今在银幕上打的是自己,郭追怎会不用功?纵使一身汗,他苦得可乐哩!

跟郭追谈话很开心,因为他真的很直,很坦诚,有种乡下人的朴实及亲切和江湖儿女的利落。

[Author: Bin Ni | Updated :2009-2-8]
Text / bin ni "Southern movie"
In many cases, we do not call for Guo Guo chase chase, we call him Guo run.
"Guo Run away!" When he first heard this call, always sowed eyebrows laughing, having fun. Now? Has long been accustomed to.
Guozhuiguopao really cute
You certainly do not know why there is such a chase Guo strange stage name of it! Chase, chase What the hell? How Chang Cheh came up with this name come from? If you are the people of Taiwan, you know Guo catch up with Mandarin read, what is the point ─ ─ "Guo chase," national language read the law, is equivalent to Taiwan in the phrase "cute"; Why would a big man called "cute"? In particular, a spanking?
"That was when I was fourteen years old, has some nickname, called for several years; Zhang director and just put the" cute "and translated into Mandarin, do my stage name." Chasing Guo said, I was aware of this allusions.
Guo chasing 25-year-old, is one of Chang Cheh six teenager; fact that it is not new, Guo chase, at least not Lo Mang Sun Jian and other new, he has already filmed a movie and Jiang-sheng, such as "Boxer Rebellion" and so on; But the official was Chang Cheh value, given the opportunity, yet last year's thing. Therefore, although a lot of days with bow, but on screen, Guo is still a new chase.
Recently, Guo Jiang chase teenager with five other students, Sun Jian, Lo Mang, Wei Bai, Department of deer shot peak, "five", but also with the Ministry of Lo Mang took a "door of life and death." I heard, are quite good.

Transported to the caterpillar when to chase
Weekdays, every day I can see in the dressing room to recover Guo, sitting in the same position on the make-up. Every time I walked into the door, he begins with the mirror in numerous eyebrows, "Hey, hello!", We say hello. One time, he worked for a female reporter Robocon changed a flower called "caterpillar", the other is not satisfied, then call him a "caterpillar chasing." Since then, he sometimes saw the "caterpillar chasing", "Guo run" of the call, joke a lot; but seriously sit down and talk but it is never tried. So one night late, telephone call to the Clear Water Bay, I said: "Guo chase, tell us about your historical stories, OK?" I know you've been playing acrobatics.

"But that time making money, but also save money, one hand on the money spent. Jiang Guo chase and so mixed up six months after the health and other dissolved.
"I have been to Japan twice, both tricks; I was fourteen years old will enter a Minnan theater, tumbling school was a good turn, and later learned a little effort, so Shuaza Ji playing pretty well."
"Look, wait a minute," I interrupted his story, "Your teens, why not go to school go learn tumbling it?"
Collecting firewood for a meal beaten
"Why do not you read?" Guo chasing low laugh a little, "Yeah, when I was young, the environment is very bad. Wander mother is, she can not be many children close at hand, so to my brother and I went to Hsinchu, I adoptive brother, uncle, aunt, when his son had to, I live in the grandmother's house. my mother wanted me in Hsinchu, can study hard, but, I was seven to Hsinchu, lived for six years, skipping three years, the school year are not worse Graduation. "
"Why do not you live up to expectations, often lazy?"
"I did not wear clothes, nor shoes." Guo chase rustling sound: "You know, I live to grandmother's house, is to study, to spend money Well, his grandmother countryman, nor how much. To take her tuition out of her mind which would upset sometimes it would mean I ─ ─ during the day and only allowed me to eat a bowl of rice in the evening to drink a bowl; she always wanted me to morning mountain wood, work, and I do not do will be beaten , no food, so I stopped one day on two days of classes, and later that year to the fifth grade, her mother felt that I too bitter, then my brother called back to Taipei, did not read the last year. "
Guo tied the day is always smiling, it seems very optimistic, is a happy man, listen to stories of his childhood, I was very surprised, sad heart for Guo chase up.
Young mother and mixed rivers and lakes
Guo recovered to Taipei, it was already thirteen years old, ran for a year with her ​​mother dead, then the person into a Fujian troupe, learning tumbling, stage power rack, has been mixed with six or seven years.
"At that time, I know a girl, she is also actors, but her mother is very strict discipline, I do not like to make friends with the daughter that I did not copy chief, good for nothing; my girlfriend advised me to find a better Iron Works doing, also considered a skill. "Guo then ran to catch it when the monthly salary of NT $ 200, metal work, and burned and hammer, and boil for three months, suffer not go, turn to help people build a house.
"Fifty NT build a house one day, pretty good friends than the metal work." Guo chase laugh. But this work too hard, Guo did more than a year to recover, the body does not suffer to give up. It was then met Jiang-sheng.
"Circus dissolution, how do you it?"
Guo chase suddenly burst out laughing, he said: "At that time, I have a girlfriend back together with the ─ ─ more than two years, we have not had the opportunity to contact, then there are days in the club hit, just like film in general;" Guo chase, said his heart was like to jump out from the mouth; "I see her in the mix, but also advised me to find a proper job, as do the trading company's staff, I goes.

"I desperately pray and hope have taken, because I almost every movie directed by Zhang have seen, you do not know how in Taiwan, Chang Cheh word." Guo said the chase. The results did not God let him down.
"Then the director on" Red Kid ", who need a stone, told me to audition, the trial finished, to see the film, he asked what I think? I said I better or for worse, a good awkward, he laughed. Lau Kar-leung said to me, have the opportunity to They will come to me and I one, on the thought: No chance! "Chang Cheh did not expect to open the" Marco Polo ", the film's four main characters in the corner, ready to chase only use Guo, but Guo received a notice to recover I do not know is this important role, he only knew one of Japan promised to someone else to go first, and push it!
"I Zaozhidaojiu not pushed, this role was played by Lee Yi Man, if I was not Japanese, the situation is better than that." Guo chase seemed very sorry.
Came back from Japan, Guo has joined the chase longbow.
"Then the director told me that he told me was love at first sight."
A love a shake
"And you?"

I laughed, almost did not choke.
A love at first sight, saw a shivering, now, is Chang Cheh proud Guo chasing Aberdeen one of the new contract.

Guo then beginning to recover Hong Kong, and Taiwan's wife to hang, but could not understand many things here ; "I think we should make Well, I can not hide it, and with deer peak, very rural character." Guo chase Road. Now he slowly settled down, no one would say to go, one will be added to termination, so do not complain that he is tired of Chang Cheh, brought to always laugh every time.
