A sketch in 2017 turned out to be a nightmare in Guo Donglin's life.
On August 15, Guo Donglin posted several photos of the Spring Festival Gala on the short video platform, with the text: Can't stand it!

This has aroused the great curiosity of netizens. Guo Donglin's temper has always been very gentle, and his handling of people is also very low-key, why is he suddenly so irritable?
Many netizens are unclear and have asked what is going on!
Later, Guo Donglin replied in the comment area: This matter should start from a program of the Spring Festival Gala of Beijing Television Station, "Withdrawing Money"...
Beijing Spring Festival Gala Sketch "Withdrawing Money"
This program of the Beijing Spring Festival Gala not only damaged Guo Donglin's reputation overnight, but also was claimed by a lawyer for hundreds of millions of yuan.
100 million is only a "small goal" for a top rich man like Wang Jianlin, but it is a sky-high price for ordinary actors like Guo Donglin.
This sketch in 2017 has become a nightmare in Guo Donglin's life.
What's even more frightening is that to this day, some people are still unwilling to let him go...
For Guo Donglin, that year's show, he was simply too wronged.
Sketch actors are generally only responsible for performing the show well, and do not have much say in the script.
But many people did not listen to Guo Donglin's defense at all. Because in that sketch of that year, The lines guo Donglin said really hurt the feelings of the people of Henan.
The name of the sketch is "Withdraw money", and Guo Donglin plays a warm-hearted person in it, and the image is very positive.
However, the liar who appeared as a "villain" was dubbed in authentic Henan dialect.
In Guo Donglin's line, there is a sentence that reads "Nine of the ten Henan cheats", which seriously stings the self-esteem of henan people.
Although a few years ago, many regional discrimination against Henan was compiled into paragraphs, such as "one billion people cheated, Henan people became coaches" and "stole manhole covers" and other rotten stems.
However, this is the first time that regional discrimination has been publicly displayed on such a serious stage as the Spring Festival Gala in Beijing.
Guo Donglin
Some people say that this kind of discrimination actually appeared in the Beijing Spring Festival Gala sketch, which is simply unbelievable.
In an impolite way, the screenwriter who wrote this sketch should publicly apologize to the people of Henan. The reviewers of the program also have to bear certain responsibilities.
However, things are not going right.
A lawyer quickly stepped forward and threatened to sue Guo Donglin.
The lawyer charged Guo Donglin with "infringing on the right to reputation of Henan people" and "regional discrimination", and demanded that Guo Donglin not only apologize, but also compensate 100 million yuan.
Why 100 million yuan? Because every Henan person has to get a dollar in compensation.
Guo Donglin was suddenly confused.
"The audience is God, the parents of food and clothing... It's too late to be thankful... How can you scold the audience... Also black... After so many years on the stage, I can't understand this... The surname Guo can not carry the pot! ”

Until today, a few years later, when he recalled this incident, he still couldn't understand how all the spearheads were aimed at him at once.
At that time, when performing, the most stimulating nerve for the audience was actually the voice of the liar in the voiceover, which was the Henan dialect when it was heard.
This gives the audience the most intuitive bad feeling: the sketch satirizes Henan people as liars!
The problem is that the voiceover voiceover is not set by Guo Donglin, but by the program group.
Guo Donglin's only mistake may be that as an actor, he did not argue with the program team when he saw the "ten Henan nine cheats" line.
But the audience did not divide into three, seven and twenty-one, and vented all their anger on him.
Overnight, Guo Donglin became infamous.
All the honor he had was lost because of this flying disaster.
Born in 1966, this excellent sketch actor was 51 years old at the time.
Born in a family of quyi, his family is not particularly rich since he was a child, and he began to perform on stage at the age of 5, and he could play independently at the age of 10 and win the applause of the whole hall.
In 1993, Guo Donglin debuted on the Spring Festival Gala, because of nervousness and anxiety, the performance was not particularly good.
But when he boarded the Spring Festival Gala for the second time, it was like opening a hanging, conquering all the audiences.
In the Spring Festival Gala of 2000, Feng Gong and Guo Donglin performed "Old Songs and New Songs"
Since then, he has become the "nail household" of the Spring Festival Gala, and his program can be seen almost every year at the Spring Festival Gala.
Later, he shaved his head, and his big bald head has become one of the memories of many people's Spring Festival Gala.
I have to admit that Guo Donglin does not belong to the handsome brother of Yushu Linfeng. But his face, thick and simple, is easy to remind the elderly of his son who is working outside, so that the audience feels that he is as kind as the big brother and uncle of the neighbor.

At that time, Guo Donglin was so pleasing.
The "regional discrimination" incident in 2017 ruined all his good reputation.
He knew what it was called, and the mountain rain was about to come and the wind was full of buildings.
It is common for people to push the wall down.
Many merchants who originally cooperated with him silently dismissed the idea of renewing their contracts.
Businessmen are to pursue profits. In their eyes, it doesn't matter how wronged you Guo Donglin is, and it doesn't matter how much the facts are. The masses now have an opinion about you, and the use of your contemporary words will affect the sales.
Less endorsements are only economic losses for actors, and Guo Dong's fall is not intolerable.
What really hit him was the setback in his career.
Guo Donglin's performance opportunities are much less. On the cusp of the storm, no one wants to get into trouble and invite him to perform.
From the "Spring Festival Gala Nail Household" that was constantly invited, he suddenly fell into such a situation, and his pain could be imagined.
Subsequently, Wei Xin, the screenwriter of the "Withdraw Money" sketch, finally couldn't sit still.
He stood up to wash away guo Donglin's grievances. The voiceover of the liar in the sketch that year was Wei Xin's own voice.
Wei Xin is not from Henan, he is from Shandong. But their dialect is very similar to Henan dialect.
Screenwriter Wei Xin spoke out
The reason why he chose to use dialects for dubbing may be that he thinks that this is more local and can make the people happy.
But in any case, the phrase "ten Henan nine cheats", as a screenwriter Wei Xin is hard to blame.
Wei Xin stood up and apologized, but Guo Donglin did not win justice.
The noise overwhelmed Wei Xin's apology. Guo Donglin's loss was almost irreparable.
Since then, Guo Donglin's stage appearance opportunities have become less and less.
The Henan lawyer's lawsuit was later dismissed. However, in August 2021, the storm resurfaced.
I don't know who is fueling the waves, and the Internet began to circulate Guo Donglin's "black history".
The content is nothing more than Guo Donglin deliberately blackening the region, so he was "banned" by CCTV, and was forced to compensate 100 million yuan.
These rumors quickly fermented on the Internet, and many people who did not know the truth saw it and insulted Guo Donglin.
Guo Donglin endured and endured, and finally broke out: "Can't stand it! ”

He clarified the ins and outs of that year through video on the online platform.
Originally, he did not want to respond publicly to this matter, because no one wanted to expose his scars repeatedly.
But if he doesn't stand up and speak up, what awaits him is even more crazy online violence.
A few years have passed, and we can look back on this "regional discrimination" incident with a more calm attitude.
It can be said that Guo Donglin is also a victim.
The surging "will" set him on the fire and roasted him, and kept throwing stones at him.
To this day, there are still countless people who do not know the truth, and when they hear the distorted facts, they do not hesitate to attack him.
As everyone knows, "Everything we hear is a point of view, not a fact; everything we see is a perspective, not the truth." ”
Everyone can be a victim of this fanaticism.
We have seen too many such moments in our daily lives.
After brushing a video of more than ten seconds on Douyin, he thought he knew a "big news" and couldn't wait to publicize it to the people around him: "So-and-so has more than enough to die, because he has done something..."
As for the authenticity of the information, there is no interest in verifying it.
There is a joke in the foreign press: "Good news is not news, bad news is news." ”
Some people naturally like to catch bad news, to put it bluntly, lest the world be chaotic.
What's more, immediately run to the person's Weibo or other social accounts, frantically attack and insult, and vent the anger accumulated in life.
What they don't understand is that this kind of hostility will one day regurgitate itself.
Only by objectively and rationally exploring the whole picture of everything can we deal gently with the world.
In this era of mixed information, everyone should have a basic quality, that is, 8 words:
