He has appeared on the CCTV Spring Festival Gala twenty times, the audience watched him from young to old, and the partner gradually changed from a small actor to a popular actress and host, but because he said the wrong thing at the Spring Festival Gala, he ruined his great future, and was even sued to the court, demanding compensation of 100 million, which can be described as the defeat of the Spring Festival Gala and the Spring Festival Gala.
Now that he has long disappeared in the entertainment industry and turned to self-media development, has he ever regretted it in his heart? What exactly did he say on the Spring Festival Evening back then? Why would someone claim 100 million?
have an accident
In the nineties of the last century, there were many powerful actors, most of them were film, television and drama, and Guo Donglin was one of them, he brought us a lot of high-quality works, but because of a sketch in 2017, he was sued in court and asked to pay 100 million yuan.
At that time, Guo Donglin was invited to collaborate with Sun Guitian on the sketch "Lack of Money". In the work, Guo Donglin plays a warm-hearted young man, and Sun Guitian is an aunt who was deceived after withdrawing money, and the starting point of this work is very good, that is, to remind everyone to be careful of telecom fraud.
But in the sketch, the scammer said in fluent Henan dialect on the other end of the phone: "Hey, then, hurry up and make money." "Caused the dissatisfaction of many Henan netizens, you must know that Henan's online reviews at that time were not good, almost all over the country said that Henan lived by stealing things.
In this case, Henan netizens felt very harsh when they heard this, and they ran to Guo Donglin's social account to accuse him, and a lawyer fell into the eyes of money and sued him to compensate all Henan people one person and one yuan, according to the population of Henan at that time, this compensation was as high as about 100 million.
Guo Donglin did not pay attention to the lawyer and did not come forward to respond to the matter, which also led to a sharp decline in Guo Donglin's reputation, and there were rumors that he was banned, watching the matter intensify, Guo Donglin finally stood up to respond to this matter and said:
"I haven't said anything about the region, nor have I been banned for anything, this matter is completely some people with ulterior motives deliberately targeting me, I have been in the entertainment industry for so long, I will definitely not carry this black pot."
Wei Xin, the screenwriter of this skit, also personally issued an apology: "The liar in the sketch said that Henan dialect has nothing to do with Teacher Guo Donglin, it was my own decision, my hometown is Shandong, and it is very close to Henan, so I used Henan dialect, but I didn't expect to cause everyone's misunderstanding, I'm really sorry, apologize to everyone"
In fact, it is very common to add dialects to sketches, and Teacher Zhao Benshan often does this, his classic work "Selling Abduction" has Northeast dialect, but Northeasterners have no opinion, on the contrary, they also like Teacher Zhao Benshan to add Northeast elements to his works to promote the Northeast, how did this matter become "regional black" on Guo Donglin's body?
After this incident, Guo Donglin's career was greatly affected, originally as a nail household of the Spring Festival Gala, he did not appear on the Spring Festival Gala for two consecutive years, until the third year after this incident in 2019, Guo Donglin took his partner Shao Feng on the CCTV Spring Festival Gala performance program.
However, although he reappeared on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala, because he disappeared for two years, he did not receive much attention, and now he can only appear on the stage at the Spring Festival Gala of various Davids, which is much worse than his previous achievements.
Fame
Guo Donglin's first appearance on TV was in the TV series "The Story of the Editorial Department", this drama can be said to be the pioneering work of domestic sitcoms, and the cast is also very luxurious, starring Ge You and Lv Liping, two old artists, Guo Donglin can only play a small role in this drama.
But after filming this drama, Guo Donglin did not choose to develop in the film and television industry, but chose to become a comedian, and in 1993, he appeared on the Spring Festival Gala for the first time, when he and a foreigner collaborated on a sketch "Market Sketch".
The main attraction of this drama is that the Italian Fabio, as a foreigner Mandarin but speaks very well, a lot of traditional Chinese culture he knows, so this work does not let the audience remember him.
Guo Donglin was really remembered in 1995, when he was in a car accident on the way to the rehearsal of the Spring Festival Gala, and the huge impact made his head directly hit the car glass, and the impact directly put him into a coma, and when he woke up again, he was lying on a hospital bed and suffering from a concussion.
But he endured the pain, gritted his teeth and bought a red girl to cooperate to perform the sketch "Something You Talk", in the sketch Guo Donglin plays a man with a good face, usually likes to brag, as long as the cow blowing out of his mouth, no matter how difficult it is to complete, someone in the sketch asked Guo Donglin to buy him a train ticket, Guo Donglin directly said that it was not a thing.
That night, he wore a military coat, a red turban on his head, carried the bunk and went to line up the night line, and when he was lined up in the morning, the conductor said that there was no ticket, so he could only post 200 by himself to buy a high-priced ticket, and after going back to give the ticket to a friend, listening to his friend praise him, he enjoyed it very much, and before leaving, he also cared for a sentence: You talk about something!
After that, he and Feng Gong cooperated with Feng Gong to perform "Old Songs and New Songs" to deepen everyone's impression of him, Feng Gong used to cooperate with the herd, but the herd at that time gave up his comedy career because of being an official, so Feng Gong temporarily cooperated with Guo Donglin, and the performance of the two was also loved by the audience.
After becoming famous, Guo Donglin also received a lot of endorsements, in the famous is stomach tablets and tide laundry detergent, Guo Donglin turned stomach tablets into a national brand, becoming a must-have at home, and tide laundry detergent was also very popular at that time, in the advertisement Guo Donglin held washing powder, mouth said: there are tides, no stains. Very brainwashing.
Unlike most stars, Guo Donglin did not have any scandals after becoming famous, and every year the Spring Festival Gala will bring a very wonderful skit, as we all know that the review of the Spring Festival Gala is very strict, some stars receive invitations, because the work is unqualified and needs to be changed over and over again, so there are almost no resident comedians at the Spring Festival Gala.
Because this is a very big challenge for comedians, they not only need to write a funny script, but also consider whether the script can pass the review, and Guo Donglin is under this pressure, every year to participate in the Spring Festival Gala, his partner is also getting bigger and bigger, CCTV hosts Zhou Tao and Liu Tao have cooperated with him.
As for why Guo Donglin is so persistent about the Spring Festival Gala, this has to start when he was a child.
childhood
Guo Donglin was born in Anhui in 1966, they migrated from Yantai, Shandong to Anhui, his father is a Shandong Kuaishu practitioner, his mother is a qinshu actor, Guo Donglin also has two older brothers, the family situation was also at the level of moderate prosperity at that time, but because his uncle went to Taiwan, in that special period, this situation made Guo Donglin's family in a very bad situation.
His parents also lost their jobs because of this incident, the family had no income in an instant, resulting in them often not having enough to eat, Guo Donglin's three brothers are in the stage of growing bodies, there is no way his father had to go to the factory to work, but the meager salary is not enough to support the family, so Guo Donglin's father secretly substituted sugar from the factory.
But this kind of thing will always be discovered, sure enough, one day the factory leaders came down to inspect, found that Guo Donglin's father stole sugar so he fired him, Guo's father helplessly walked out of the field, at this time he saw someone recruiting a delivery man, so he ran to say that he was capable, although the salary of delivery was not high, but it was better than nothing.
After Guo's father started delivery, Guo Donglin liked to go out with him to deliver very much, because he could play freely on the way, one day he passed a noodle restaurant when he delivered with his father, just when it was time for lunch, Guo Donglin stared at the noodle shop drooling, Guo's father saw it and took out the dry food prepared by Guo's mother and handed it to Guo Donglin.
But thinking that dry food was difficult to swallow, I thought of going to the noodle restaurant to ask for a bowl of hot soup, so I told Guo Donglin to wait for my father here and walked to the noodle restaurant, and the noodle shop owner quickly threw him out after seeing him, saying in his mouth: Wearing so dirty affects my business.
The father and son had to sit outside the noodle restaurant and look at the people inside enviously, thinking who had some soup left they could pick up a bottom, not long after a woman got up and prepared to leave, and there was still a lot of noodle soup in the bowl, father and son saw it and walked forward, but saw them coming, the woman directly spat into the bowl before turning to leave.
Although Guo Donglin was still young at that time, he remembered these things very clearly, in his mind, his father always pulled the car around, when his father couldn't pull, he went to the back to help his father push, the family life was very difficult, and then his father had an accident, his leg was broken and the top pillar of the family collapsed.
Because there was no economic income, the mother had to look around for performances to make money, and the money earned had to pay for his father's medical expenses, and the three brothers grew up in this situation, and it was precisely because of this that the three brothers secretly vowed that they must earn a lot of money in the future and let their parents enjoy the blessings.
Brother Guo Qiulin worked first, he inherited his father's profession to become a performer of Shandong Kuaishu, and also appeared on the Spring Festival Gala in 1986, becoming the first and only actor in China to perform Kuaishu at the CCTV Spring Festival Gala, and Guo Qiulin was also known for this, and also received an invitation from Yale University in the United States, hoping that he would conduct Kuaishu cultural research.
Guo Qiulin also made a lot of money after becoming famous, which also left a deep impression in Guo Donglin's heart, resulting in him becoming famous and has been persistent on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala, and now Guo Donglin has appeared on the Spring Festival Gala 20 times, and now he has gradually withdrawn from the entertainment industry and began to develop in self-media.
status quo
In March 2019, Guo Donglin entered the Douyin platform, with more than 8 million fans in just 14 days, and today has 23.2 million fans, once ranked first on the Douyin celebrity list, there are many comedians staying in Douyin, Pan Changjiang, Feng Gong are all on Douyin, but obviously their popularity is not as high as Guo Donglin, which is something he himself can't believe.
Guo Donglin is also very attentive to operating this account, he will update a video almost every day, and each video has a script, in the short video his role is still a bragging character, the plot is also easy to happen in some families, but it is this kind of joke that often makes netizens laugh.
One of the videos is very funny, in this video a little girl plays Guo Donglin's daughter, she is bullied by a boy at school, Guo Donglin knows and asks her if she has thought about how to retaliate, and then the little girl says that when she grows up, she will marry the boy to clean him up.
Guo Donglin stared at the little girl with wide eyes after hearing this, and after seeing the little girl's innocent smile, what he wanted to say came to his lips and held back, he could only show a dumb look, subconsciously hugging the little girl, probably not wanting her to go out and harm other little boys, haha.
Sometimes some travel videos are posted, but every time it is alone, and there is never a lover around him,
Some people say that the end of the Internet celebrity is to bring goods, Guo Donglin is not surprised, after attracting a large number of fans, he opened the live broadcast to bring goods, in the past, when Guo Donglin was on the Spring Festival Gala, the sister-in-law around him changed every year, and now the live broadcast also often changes sisters-in-law after the goods, almost every live broadcast around the sister-in-law is different.
But his live broadcast data is really very good, each live broadcast has nearly 100,000 popularity, more importantly, the products recommended by Guo Donglin are very practical, and the price is also very cheap, widely praised, many people ask: Guo Donglin such a status still run to bring goods?
In fact, this can also be understood, today's entertainment industry is too fast, is no longer suitable for old artists, especially comedians like Guo Donglin, a work to hone for a year, for these old artists always said, such a fast-paced life they can not keep up, can only change careers to do some other careers.
Guo Donglin also responded to this question: "Bringing goods by yourself is not greedy for profit, but to let fans buy really affordable things." ”
brief summary
Since Guo Donglin's debut, there is no black material except for being framed for regional blackness, even scandals have not been reported, and now at the age of 57, he remains single and has no children.
As a nail household of the Spring Festival Gala, he put all his energy into work, the host of the Spring Festival Gala has changed and changed, he also stands on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala, and left a lot of classic sketches to the audience.
Although he has not made good progress emotionally, he is still engaged in his favorite profession, and now he has switched to the short video platform, he has also created a lot of high-quality videos, bringing a lot of joy to netizens, and it can be seen from his number of fans that there are still many people supporting him, I believe he himself should be very happy and so many people like him.
As for those doubts and complaints in the past, it is nothing for Guo Donglin today, after all, he is already in the age of Huajia, and many things have already been seen.
