On the night of Chinese New Year's Eve 1996, Guo Da and Cai Ming's sketch "Robot Funny Stories" were waiting in the background of the Spring Festival Gala.
Although their sketches have appeared in the program list, it does not mean that they will necessarily be on the show.
Because their sketches are too far behind, the back programs are unknown.
It is likely that because of the problem with the length of the previous program, the later program was immediately killed.
Cai Ming and Guo Da were nervous and unable to speak, afraid that the program would not be guaranteed.
As a result, I turned around and saw a cross-talk program killed.
The cross-talk actor, who had been rehearsing for more than a month, walked out with his suitcase bowed.
Cai Ming was so sad that he directly shed two lines of tears.
Later, Guo Da withdrew from the Spring Festival Gala stage, and Pan Changjiang became Cai Ming's new partner.
There are different versions of rumors about Guo Da's "exit" from the outside world, some people say that Cai Ming and Guo Da have contradictions, and Cai Ming "dumped"
Guo Da, some people say that Guo Da offended people and was banned.
And the truth of the matter is known only to Cai Ming alone.
01
Guo Da was a widow, and his father died a month before he was born.
His mother and sister raised him.
At the age of 15, Guo Da was recruited by the railway team and became a railway worker.
Although he grew tall, he was still young after all.
The workers could not bear it, so they transferred him to the logistics to feed the pigs.
Pig manure is picked up every day and fed to the pigs.
Day after day, it's boring.
Feeding pigs is not his pursuit, he loves art and likes to perform.
Whenever he had time, he would read, study, and listen to the radio.
At the age of 19, Guo Da received an acceptance letter from the Shanghai Theater Academy.
He didn't know how to talk to his mother.
Even eating at home was a problem, and who had the energy to let him quit his job to study art.
But what he didn't expect was that his mother took out a rusty iron box with all her savings.
His mother gave Guo Da all the money and asked him to pay for tuition and miscellaneous fees.
With tears in his eyes, he told him: "Our family conditions are not good, but going to school is your only way out, and my mother does not want to delay you." ”
Guo Da knelt on the ground and bowed his head heavily to his mother.
At that time, he had planted a seed in his heart, and he must get ahead and let his family live a good life.
In 1974, Guo Da left Shaanxi for Shanghai.
In his three years at the university, he never missed a class.
Each time it was the first to go to the classroom and the last to leave.
And firmly uphold the spirit of thrift and thrift.
Go to the cafeteria to eat, always hit the cheapest dish, and go out to walk without taking the bus.
Wear one piece of clothing back and forth, wash it in the evening and put it on the next morning.
The shorts are worn out before they are willing to change to new ones.
After graduation, Guo Da was assigned to the Shaanxi Repertory Theatre.
That's ten years.
When I first went in, because of my superb acting skills and serious attitude,
Guo Da was selected by the leader as the protagonist to star in "In the Silent Place".
The result caused dissatisfaction among other actors, and the director had no choice but to replace Guo Da.
Since then, Guo Da has been ostracized by all actors.
No colleagues made friends with him, no one called together for dinner.
Don't even take him to rehearsals.
The colleague told Guo Da to rehearse at ten o'clock, and Guo Da arrived at the rehearsal room on time at ten o'clock.
As a result, everyone had finished rehearsing, and he was the only one standing there stupidly.
Guo Da finally realized that if he wanted to gain respect, he first needed to be strong.
After that day, Guo Da got up at less than four o'clock every day.
By the time it was dark, he was already standing on the playground practicing his voice.
Accumulated over time, Guo Da's ability could no longer be hidden.
Step by step, he gradually moved from the marginal role on the stage to the middle of the stage.
In the end, Guo Da still rose to the protagonist.
Guo Da, who became the protagonist, was often sent by the troupe to perform in other provinces.
Everyone was reluctant to go, only Guo Da silently accepted the arrangement.
During the business trip, Guo Da also met Ni Ping.
At this time, Ni Ping was already a "national second-level actor", and Guo Da was only famous in the drama troupe.
The disparity in the identities of the two is doomed to be inseparable.
Even when they went out to dinner together, Ni Ping paid for it, and every time Guo Da wanted to pay for it, he was stopped by Ni Ping.
Ni Ping knew that he was shy in his pocket and was unwilling to let him break the fee again.
When Ni Ping's mother knew, she began to introduce Ni Ping to the blind date.
The purpose is to make Guo Da give up his daughter as soon as possible.
In the face of frequent blows from his girlfriend's mother, Guo Da eventually lost.
Knowing that he could not give the other party a better living environment, he could only watch Ni Ping and her family arrange a "promising youth" blind date.
After the loss of love, Guo Da was soulless all day.
The leader saw his heart and wanted to arrange new developments for him.
Guo Da himself has written several sketches, often making everyone laugh.
The leader intended to let him develop in this direction, but unfortunately suddenly a new leader came.
After the personnel change, Guo Da's comedy plan can only be temporarily shelved.
In fact, Guo Da did not want to take the comedy road at the beginning, he only wanted to concentrate on acting in a good drama.
It was not until 1984, when Zhu Shimao and Chen Peisi's sketches appeared on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala, that Guo Da gradually became interested in comedy.
Chen Peisi and Zhu Shimao's "Eating Noodles" is still a classic for comedians to learn.
Inspired, Guo Da also began to write his own sketches and directed and performed by himself.
And received a good response among colleagues.
02
Everything is ready only to owe the East Wind,
And this gust of wind finally blew in 1987.
When the year is approaching, there is a sketch male protagonist who cannot take the stage due to events.
The director chose Guo Da by mistake.
Chinese New Year's Eve evening, Guo Da and Yang Lei collaborated on the sketch "In Front of the Delivery Room".
That year Guo Da was 32 years old,
In his early years, he finally saw the hope of fame.
Sure enough, on the second day of the Spring Festival Gala, Guo Da was on fire all over the country.
This was a turning point in the fate of Guo Da and his entire family.
It means that they have completely come out of poverty.
The following year, Guo Da partnered with Yang Lei again to perform the skit "Qing Officials Are Difficult to Break Housework".
Everything is moving in a good direction,
I thought that I would see him on the Spring Festival Gala stage in the third year.
As a result, Guo Da did not appear in the third year.
In 1991, Zhao Benshan, under the recommendation of Jiang Kun, appeared on the Spring Festival Gala again.
Since then, the "Northeast Comedy Style" on Zhao Ben has taken root in the hearts of the audience.
And in those years, there was a popular saying: "The Spring Festival Gala without Zhao Benshan is not the Spring Festival Gala."
Guo Da was almost forgotten by the audience.
It wasn't until he met Cai Ming that Guo Da found his style again.
In 1993, Guo Da and Cai Ming performed the sketch "Loess Slope" on a spring evening.
Two people, one "earth", one "ocean",
Combined with each other, there are laughs everywhere.
The harmonic dialogue between the foreign daughter-in-law and the Shaanxi gonggong successfully made the audience remember the pair.
From that day on, the two began to cooperate for more than twenty years.
"Robot Funny Talk", "Transoceanic Telephone", "Between Neighbors", "Good People Don't Discount" and other classic works.
Twenty Chinese New Year's Eve nights were spent together by Guo Da and Cai Ming.
The two developed a deep friendship, and some people mistakenly thought they were husband and wife.
To this end, Cai Ming's husband also angrily forbade Cai Ming to cooperate with Guo Da again.
Or Guo Da's wife went to explain to Cai Ming's husband, which solved the misunderstanding.
Guo Da's wife is Wu Fang, who is a year older than him.
Wu Fang was originally a costume designer at the Shaanxi Repertory Theatre.
Before knowing Wu Fang, Guo Da had broken up with Ni Ping for more than three years.
During these three years, Guo Da has never thought of starting a relationship again.
Until the appearance of Wu Fang.
Wu Fang had heard of him long ago, and in her eyes Guo Da was a thick, reliable, and real big boy.
Guo Da often forgot to eat because of rehearsals, and Wu Fang made a meal and went to the rehearsal room to wait for him.
He doesn't talk rhetoric, he doesn't confess romantically, he just has a sincere heart.
Because of this, Wu Fang decided not to marry him in this life.
Guo Da also has this intention.
The so-called Lang has a concubine intention, the two decided to join hands into the palace of marriage, and after marriage, they had a son, Guo Xiaoguang.
After 1993, Guo Da became busier and busier, and his career soared.
In order to take care of her children, Wu Fang is willing to quit her job to become a full-time wife.
The son rarely had the opportunity to see his father, and over time began to refuse his father to hold him.
Once Guo Da rehearsed the Spring Festival Gala sketch until two o'clock in the morning,
Get home ready to "tiptoe" into bed.
Who knew that as soon as she entered the door, the wife turned on the light.
Wu Fang got up and walked to the kitchen and brought him a bowl of hot noodles.
Guo Da's eyes were red.
Without his wife's silent efforts behind his back, Guo Da could not go to his career wholeheartedly.

After performing the skit "Family with Graduates" in 2010, Guo Da temporarily left the Spring Festival Gala stage.
He hadn't had Chinese New Year's Eve meal with his family in twenty years.
In 2011, Guo Da sat in front of the TV to watch the Spring Festival Gala.
At that moment, he had mixed feelings in his heart, looking back on the 20-year Spring Festival Gala process, his mind was like playing a movie.
Prior to this, Guo Da also often participated in film and television drama shooting.
"Raise Your Hand", "Fashionable Daddy", "The Blue Sky of The Clear Water" and so on.
After bidding farewell to the Spring Festival Gala, Guo Da also reduced the filming of film and television dramas.
The 20-year-old "Spring Festival Gala Nail Household" has gradually disappeared in the entertainment circle.
As soon as Guo Da withdrew, many rumors arose in the outside world.
Some people say that Guo Da and Cai Ming have a contradiction, Cai Ming "dumped" him and turned to cooperate with Pan Changjiang, and some people said that Guo Da was banned.
And the truth of the matter is known only to Cai Ming.
Guo Da cares a lot about the audience's feelings and respects the audience's opinions.
When he and Cai Ming first participated in the Spring Festival Gala, they got up at three or four o'clock every day to rehearse, and it didn't end until midnight.
Guo Da said: "Since I participated in the Spring Festival Gala, I must be worthy of the audience. ”
The audience's advice is very important to Guo Da.
After the millennium, with the rise of the Internet, Guo Da saw many young people's evaluations of him online:
"The paragraph is too old", "The stem is outdated", "Has always occupied the opportunity of not giving young people a chance" and so on.
These made Guo Da feel very uncomfortable.
In addition, I am really old, and my heart is not good.
I can't stay up too long for a night, and sometimes my face will be red after a long rehearsal time.
Some viewers thought that Guo Da drank high, but in fact, his blood pressure was high.
Coupled with the evaluation of netizens, the estrangement of the son.
One small thing after another was backlogged on Guo Da, and he didn't know which thing was the last straw, which made Guo Da's mentality more and more broken.
So serious that every time I rehearse, it takes half an hour to sort out my emotions in an empty room.
Finally, one day, Guo Da couldn't hold back.
He found Cai Ming and said to her:
"I think I'm old and I'm not in good health, I don't want to be under so much pressure to do something, you see if you can find another partner." 」
When he said this, Guo Da had tears in his eyes.
Cai Ming also choked up.
Since then, Pan Changjiang has become Cai Ming's fixed partner.
04
In 2017, Guo Da appeared on the variety show "Ace to Ace".
This is Guo Da's first time to participate in a variety show since his debut.
Guo Da held the rose in his hand and walked towards his old partner Cai Ming.
The two sang "The Past Can Only Be Remembered" on the stage.
Time never goes back
The past can only be recalled
Reminiscent of childhood bamboo horse green plum
Two little guesses follow day and night
The spring breeze blew red again
You've added a new year
You have to change your mind like time is hard to go back
I can only snuggle up in my dreams
Time never goes back
The past can only be recalled
Reminiscent of childhood bamboo horse green plum
Two little guesses follow day and night
The spring breeze blew red again
You've added a new year
You have to change your mind like time is hard to go back
I can only snuggle up in my dreams
The spring breeze blew red again
You've added a new year
You have to change your mind like time is hard to go back
I can only snuggle up in my dreams
There is also Pan Changjiang in the program, Guo Da is Cai Ming's old partner for twenty years, and Pan Changjiang is the new partner after him.
Guo Da asked Cai Ming, "Which one do you choose between me and Pan Changjiang?" ”
Cai Ming: "I choose Pan Changjiang." ”
Watching Cai Ming and Pan Changjiang holding hands, Guo Da sang alone.
Outer part:
Stand alone on this stage
Watch you show affection
There are infinite emotions in my heart
How much youth is not there
How much sentiment has changed
Tears couldn't help but fall
Applause rang out
I don't understand
Your love is still with me
Applause rang out
I don't understand
Pan:
Whenever you stand on this stage
I heard everyone cheering
We still couldn't help but shed tears
How many old terriers have been played badly
How many mouths to remember
Our feelings are always there
Then Cai Ming took out the wig cover from 23 years ago,
It was the wig set for their first collaboration on the sketch "Loess Slope" in 1987.
At that time, Guo Da ran several streets to buy it for Cai Ming.
Cai Ming kept it.
Guo Da also read a letter to his granddaughter on the show.
The 1987 Spring Festival Gala program was also shown.
Guo Da has been collecting for 30 years, and he only wants to tell future generations that this is the turning point of their family from being poor and white to having enough food and clothing.
After "Ace to Ace" aired, Guo Da did not appear again.
Until 2021, Guo Da recited Li Bai's "Will Enter the Wine" in Shaanxi dialect at the National Centre for the Performing Arts.
You don't see the water of the Yellow River rising from the sky, rushing to the sea and never returning.
Jun did not see Gao Tang Mingjing's sad white hair, and it turned into snow in the twilight of green silk.
Life must be full of joy, do not make the golden bottle empty to the moon.
I am born to be useful, and I will come back when all the money is gone.
To cook sheep and slaughter cattle for pleasure, one will have to drink three hundred cups at a time.
Cen Fuzi, Dan Qiusheng, will enter the wine, the cup does not stop.
With a song of Jun, please listen to it for me.
The bell drum is not expensive enough, but I hope that I will not wake up when I am drunk.
The ancient sages were all lonely, but the drinker kept his name.
King Chen used to feast peacefully and enjoy it, fighting wine and ten thousand people's indulgences.
What the master says is less money, he must sell it to the king.com.
Five flowers and horses, thousands of gold qiu, Hu'er will be exchanged for fine wine, and Er will sell all the ancient sorrows.
He is promoting national culture in his own way.
On the stage, he was full of emotion, shaking, and very vividly interpreted the drunken poet, making the audience can't stop laughing.
He still adheres to the original intention of 20 years ago, "to be worthy of the audience when you go on stage"
Today, Guo Da is 67 years old.
Judging from the recent photos, Guo Da's hair and eyebrows have been grayed, and his clear eyes are slightly tired.
Guo Da is old, but his attitude towards acting has not diminished at all.
There is a link in the "Ace to Ace" program, which is the old comedian and the new comedian PK.
Wang Zulan said that the old comedians would definitely not win us, because Teacher Guo Da still had to read the note.
Then Wang Zulan took out a "small note" from Guo Da's pocket.
Wang Zulan said that our team did not need to read the note.
Guo Da didn't know what to say, he could only stand there and laugh.
Cai Ming quickly walked over to Guo Da, snatched the note from Wang Zulan's hand, and broke the siege for Guo Da:
"You don't use notes, but my old partner has never been on any variety shows, and that's his attitude towards his work!"
Guo Da was afraid that he would not be able to keep up with everyone's rhythm, so he brought a note to take notes.
There are few artists as serious, modest and dedicated as Guo Da.
Many young actors don't memorize their lines when acting, and they don't mention being prepared to attend events.
And Guo Da's seniors with such profound qualifications can still have such a humble learning attitude, which is really worthy of reflection by future generations.
"The Voice of China" has been broadcast for 10 years, and there have been many mentors and mentors in these 10 years.
But only Fei Yuqing came up with notes.
The notes recorded the strengths and weaknesses he had written down when he watched the trainees rehearse.
Unfortunately, in 2019, the little brother held a farewell concert tour and announced that it would be closed.
He also wrote a handwritten farewell letter.
Such old artists who respect and care about the audience's feelings are slowly retreating.
But the frequent explosions of young artists in recent years have made the audience chill.
Generation y, p prostitution, stealing s, out of g, etc., a long list of bad artists, let the audience disappointed in this circle.
Playing big names, being late, and even filming myself do not come, relying on the post-p map to complete.
And an actor like Guo Da, who is dedicated, modest and has no scandal, is slowly "disappearing", which is undoubtedly the "sadness" of the entertainment industry.
