Gregory Charles Rivers's life is relevant.

Sports: I grew up in rural Australia and like to run barefoot.

Peter: I have ten dogs and a rabbit.

Interest: I like music best, and now I am trying to learn to play the piano.

If you have been a TV fan since childhood, I believe you must be familiar with the name Gregory Charles Rivers. In the eyes of the general audience, he may be a "foreigner" who can speak fluent Cantonese. If this alone has made you admire? After reading his blog again, I am afraid I am even more fascinated by him. Do you know how to write Chinese? This is just a small matter. Gregory Charles Rivers, a medical graduate, can write computer programs, play English songs and sing English songs. His photos are even better than those taken by professional photographers. Although I don't know if he can draw, I suddenly feel that Gregory Charles Rivers is very much like Da Vinci.

Everyone thinks that blog is a very diversified network media. If you know how to write computer programs, input html codes, upload photos and music, the changes will be endless. Although Gregory Charles Rivers is an actor, the time he spends on his blog is sometimes crazy. He will pick and hold photos without sleep. But because of this, Gregory Charles Rivers's blog is so wonderful.

Blog should be a blog to contact family.

Guo Rong started her own blog for her family living in Australia. He said, "Since the two sisters got married separately, they have lived separately from their parents and settled in Hong Kong. In order to keep abreast of their family's current situation, they started a blog and wrote four or five articles. The other ten family members didn't write any, but simply started a public blog and became this blog now. "

Looking at other artists' blogs, I may not reply to fans' messages in many cases, but Guo Rong will try her best to reply one by one. Some netizens leave interesting messages. For example, Guo Rong used the wrong Chinese, and they all corrected it. Faced with numerous messages and emails, Guo Rong felt both happy and distressed: "There are still more than 300 messages that have not been answered, but it can't be delayed. I know I have to reply. This is the correct attitude! "

Love animals and take pictures for fun.

The first time I read Guo Rong's blog, I was admitted. The photo was deeply attracted. He took all kinds of photos, but most of them were animals and insects. Besides his own dogs and rabbits, there were cicadas, butterflies, frogs, snakes, lizards, bats and more than ten different kinds of birds. At first, he thought he had come to the Amazon forest, but most of them were his "neighbors".

Because Guo Rong was born in rural Australia, he liked nature since he was a child, so he also chose to live in the suburbs of Hong Kong. At least a dozen different birds live near his home. As soon as he heard this song (bird), he knew what bird it was. If he discovers a new species, Guo Rong will go home immediately and pick up the camera to take pictures.

Guo Rong likes not only nature, but also animals. There are ten dogs and a rabbit in his family. They are either abandoned or sick or disabled. He often mentioned his pet in his blog. The rabbit he found on the roadside should have been knocked down by a car. However, it never rains alone. On one occasion, Guo Rong came back late from filming. In order not to let the dog bark, he sneaked into the house, but the rabbit was scared to break its back. Although the rabbit recovered later, it also had sequelae and became incontinent, so Guo Rong personally washed his ass and basked in the sun every day to prevent it from getting sick again.

Misuse of Chinese, netizens correct me.

Although Guo Rong's blog is mainly in English, it also has Chinese information. As a foreigner, his Chinese is very good, but there are still some interesting Chinese, such as: "Journalists and photographers are very serious, obviously they have done their homework and know what consequences they want." I guess what he wanted to say was "result". "Not visiting but introducing photos of food" (later he revised it to be food, not food); "The staff also work very hard and diligently to make our play the best" (write Chinese sentences in English grammar, right? )。

However, because of this, it can be seen that Guo Rong personally participated in his blog. His netizens often make comments to correct mistakes, and Guo Rong learned from them. No wonder Chinese is improving. For the revised text, he will use the middle horizontal line and then add the correct text, without completely deleting the mistakes. Guo Rong said: "Because I don't want to lie!" After that, Guo Rong hopes to write at least one message in Chinese every two weeks.

Before and after coming to Hong Kong for development

Leslie Cheung and Alan Tam had no personal relationship with Gregory Charles Rivers, but they became two people who changed the fate of Gregory Charles Rivers. Even the Chinese name was changed to "Guo Rong" because he liked Leslie Cheung: "Actually, my good friend helped me change my name. My name is Gregory Charles Rivers, so I changed my family name to He. Gregory and Guo Rong have similar pronunciations, so they are called Guo Rong. "

1986, Alan Tam and Leslie Cheung held a concert in Australia. Gregory Charles Rivers, who had been in a medical class for three years at that time, admired them for a long time, so he applied to be their driver. Before that, Gregory Charles Rivers was as fascinated by their songs as a group of Hong Kong students. During the concert, Gregory Charles Rivers personally felt the awe-inspiring charm of the two men, and the scenes of fans crowding around made him envious. At that time, Gregory Charles Rivers seemed to be inspired by these two men, gave up his studies and went to a completely strange port alone, looking for a way to become a superstar of the Emperor.

When Gregory Charles Rivers came to Hongkong, his parents unexpectedly didn't object. On the contrary, friends around him said that he was too stupid: "When you go to Hong Kong, you don't know when to kill people?" However, he didn't listen to this stern suggestion. He learned fluent Cantonese, and after listening to canto pop, he came to Hong Kong alone.

Gregory Charles Rivers 1987 came to Hong Kong, and on a boring afternoon, he wandered outside the Red Pavilion. Gregory Charles Rivers described that he knew nothing about Hong Kong at that time, even the name of Hung Hom Gymnasium had never been heard, let alone recommended himself to the record company. But that day, he met the opportunity of "reunion" with Alan Tam. At that time, Alan Tam will hold another concert. Alan Tam's band was resting outside the Red Pavilion, and Gregory Charles Rivers happened to meet them. Therefore, Gregory Charles Rivers, who was fluent in Cantonese at that time, became a guest of Alan Tam concert for three consecutive nights, singing Alan Tam's Never Miss You. He said: "Maybe the organizer wants the audience to know that even foreigners can sing Alan Tam's songs, which is great."

Alan Tam signed a contract to find a life by wireless, which didn't make him lucky. After listening to 30 concerts in Alan Tam (at that time, Alan Tam held 3/kloc-0 concerts), he quickly ran out of money. As a result, he engaged in a profession that almost all "ghosts" in Hong Kong have done-teaching English. From August 1987, he worked as an English teacher in Yucheng Commercial School for five months, until one day, he posted it on the school poster and learned that TVB was recruiting a Cantonese-speaking ghost to be a special artist, so he came to another turning point in his life.

"At that time, I went to see Ceng Lizhen (now a wireless executive). To be honest, my performance is very poor, but I may have no choice but to invite me. " The first drama series performed by Gregory Charles Rivers was shot in 1988, and the background was the "big tea garden" in the late Qing Dynasty. "I don't remember the performance of" Big Tea Garden ". I remember playing a senior inspector in China. Is the plot about me? The French Concession raped a China girl. " At this point, even he couldn't help laughing.

His second series is the more widely known Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, in which Lv Liangwei and Felix Wong Yat Wa play the leading roles and Gregory Charles Rivers plays the missionary in China. "The Taiping Heavenly Kingdom recently released a VCD, and I bought it, but the" Big Tea Garden "has arrived, and it hasn't been released at home yet. I really want to go back to my first performance. "

Gregory Charles Rivers's dream of coming to Hong Kong seems to be coming true, but there are still many difficulties in life. "When I was teaching English, my monthly salary was 2,000 yuan. I only eat one meal a day. Later, I worked as a special artist in wireless, earning 300 mosquitoes a day. I have complained three times and I am willing to add labor first and then transfer to a long-term contract. " The reporter asked him, did he have a monthly salary of 10 thousand yuan? He asked the reporter: "Ten thousand mosquitoes? What do you say? "

Despite living a simple life, Gregory Charles Rivers 19 years has never thought of giving up his acting career. Familiar with computers, he once designed a computer program and sold it through the internet, but at that time, piracy was rampant and the sales of computer programs were extremely low. Later, I worked as a part-time software agent, but I still failed. But he was pleased with the failure of his business: "If I succeeded at that time, I became a businessman. If I wasn't an artist, I wouldn't have fun."

Love the stage, love the performance. In a few months, Gregory Charles Rivers has been in Hong Kong for 20 years, and he is still interested in singing and dancing. He switched to stage play, and his stage play "They're playing our song" will be staged at the Hong Kong Arts Center for eight days starting from 16 this month. He predicted that the stage play would bring him 10 thousand yuan and earn 10 thousand yuan on the eighth day. For ordinary wage earners, it seems good! But he said, "Two months of rehearsal? I rehearse every day. I earn 10 thousand in two months, which seems a little short. He admits that money should be wasted on honing acting skills and doing what he likes.

Among the numerous TV series shot by wireless, his most satisfying role is Sir Paul, the chief action director in On Demand starring Ekin Cheng and Linda Chung, which was broadcast at the end of 2005. He was also very satisfied with his role as "Sean Paul", the French master of whole cakes, in The Black Forest in Love, which was broadcast in the same year. However, the chemist who played in the late-night replay of Chasing a Murder from Another World last month made him feel bad: "There are almost no props to deceive me, and there is no way to act like it." Even if others only regard him as a supporting role, he still has great demands on his performance.

Twenty-two years in Hong Kong also brought him a stable marriage. However, this marriage is 1988. His application for visa extension in Hong Kong was rejected and he was ordered to leave Hong Kong within two weeks. At that time, in order to become a singer, he married his girlfriend in Hong Kong who had been dating for eight months until today.
