25 years of debut, Louis Koo From "White Gu" to "Black Gu", from vase to actor, we have witnessed his growth and dedication along the way.
During the "Bai Gu", the keyword is appearance.
"A encounter with Bai Gu will ruin your life", which refers to Yang Guo played by Louis Koo.
1995's "The Legend of Condor Heroes" is Louis Koo's first costume drama starring in the entertainment industry, and it is also the most closest interpretation to the original work.
"The Legend of Condor Heroes" has been remade many versions so far, but none of them can surpass Louis Koo. Huang Xiaoming version, Yang Guo became a crazy fool; Richie Qi version, Yang Guo became a "Ergouzi" who always talked. The only thing that can compete with
is Li Mingshun . Unfortunately, I can't stand the thinking. If you look closely, you will find that there are too many traces of imitating Gu Tianle.
Louis Koo in the "Baigu" period was still very immature in his performance and did not have enough grasp of emotions and limbs. Most of the time, he just relied on a handsome face that was so cruel that he walked around the world.
CCTV once did a program that talked about who are handsome and outstanding in Chinese costumes and modern dramas?
All the professionals here, including the audience, chose Louis Koo.
In Hupu and Tianya’s salute-comparing posts, he has always compared himself with himself - Bai Gu vs Hei Gu. After all, this kind of appearance is obviously bullying compared to others.
grows like this, so you don’t have to worry about many problems. Will anyone mind how your acting skills are? It's enough to look at the face.
Regarding how indestructible his status in the hearts of the people, the "unusual" barrage complaints in " Full Moon Scimitar " (1997 Louis Koo version) are enough to prove it.

However, Louis Koo is a person who is persistent in doing things. Since had to become a star , he has been ready to work hard to do the job of an actor.
His skin color slowly completed the transition from Bai Gu to Hei Gu during this period, which is also one of the signals that his acting skills have quietly improved.
The keyword in the "Black Ancient" period is strength.
2000 " Genesis ", the role of villain Zili , which can be clearly seen in his acting skills. Although he is still at a disadvantage in the rivalry with Galleg Ronaldo , compared with his previous roles, Louis Koo is no longer cowardly.
He showed Zhang Zili's gloomy , 's scheming but kind-hearted 's two-sided personality, and also unlocked the skill package for performing in eyes and body languages.
2001's " Looking for Qin Ji ", he brought his comedy talent to a peak. So much so that even though he has participated in so many comedy works, no one can surpass the role of Shaolong in "The Legend of Qin".
His performance in the play has completely lost the funnyness that was copied and copied in " Hedong Lion Roar " (2002) and "The Peerless Bra" (2001). It was naturally revealed throughout the whole process, and the laughs were so dense that they didn't dare to bring soup when they were eating, for fear of spraying it out.

Later, he beat the truck driver angrily, and perhaps there was something to vent his anger in it, and he saw a sense of hostility in this person's heart.
Before he put down his pistol, the camera gave the pistol a close-up. The background was a bright police light, clearly revealing the word "no choice".
