Walking on the Spring Festival Gala, Guo Donglin spent more than 20 years, and leaving the Spring Festival Gala was just one night.
In December 2020, Guo Donglin posted: "I have never said that the region is black, nor have I been blocked..."
Guo Donglin tried to explain that his career had not been affected.
But judging from his life situation, the ban may not be true, but his career has plummeted, and it must have something to do with "saying 8 wrong words".
When Guo Donglin encountered a boycott by the whole network, it hit him personally, and he once hid in his hometown, unwilling to see people, and did not participate in the show.
When he returned again, it was not at the Spring Festival Gala, but he set his sights on short videos and became an Internet celebrity.
As always, he tells jokes and stories to everyone, and his former fans have followed him, and his followers have increased by more than 5 million in less than a month.
It seems that Guo Dong is making a comeback, but who can understand the bitter taste behind this?
01. Eat other people's leftovers at the age of 5, and perform on stage at the age of 10
In 1966, on a luxurious street in Anhui, Guo Donglin was born.
His luck was worse, and soon after he was born, his parents suffered an accident, and the family's income plummeted.
Parents are struggling to raise three children, and it is common for a family to have little food, clothing and warmth.
When he was 5 years old, his father came home with a heavy face, he held his wife and cried, and his parents' mood was as uncomfortable as countless insects biting.
His father looked at Guo Donglin, his eyes were trembling, and he whispered:
"Son, dad has no ability, and he will make you hungry in the future."
Guo Donglin's cry was loud, and his father was forced to resign and work in a canning factory.
One night, Guo Donglin was very hungry, he got up to look for food, but unfortunately he couldn't find anything at home.
Seeing this, my father secretly went out and brought home a can of food a while later.
That night, Guo Dong slept well, but his father lost his job and had to go to the streets to pull coal for a living.
Guo Donglin did not go to school, he worked with his father, his hands were full of black coal, and his eyes were full of determination.
The two were out delivering goods, reluctant to buy food, so my father went to ask for food.
Seeing that the two were pitiful, the shopkeeper ate the rest of the food and threw it to the father and son.
From that time on, Guo Donglin had only one thought in his heart, he wanted to get ahead, let his family eat well, and have a thick quilt cover.
However, bad luck at home continues.
My father was a cultural person, who had not done heavy work, and accidentally smashed his leg when carrying something once.
The doctor kept his father at home for a year, earning all his mother's income.
Her mother used to sing, and she could only take Guo Donglin out to perform with tears in her eyes.
Guo Donglin is young and occasionally makes trouble.
When the mother saw the guest leaving, she directly picked up a branch on the side and hit her son, who cried loudly, and the mother hugged him again and said:
"Son, mom begs you, don't make trouble, okay. We depend on them to eat, and if they don't give money, our whole family will starve to death."
10-year-old Guo Donglin, who was well trained by his mother, can skillfully sing on stage, and can also cheekily ask for money from people watching theaters.
This bumpy experience made Guo Donglin remember it for a lifetime and could not forget it.
After graduating from high school, Guo Donglin entered the theater to study and start a new life.
Guo Donglin believes that he has the foundation of singing, and he can be valued by the leader when he enters the human arts.
As everyone knows, all of them are powerful characters in the human arts, and he rushed to the stage with full strength, and he couldn't get a good role.
The salary of Renyi is not fixed, and the more times you go on stage, the more you pay.
For the first few years, he was heavily in debt.
Every month's money, he had to send it home, and when he was hungry, he borrowed money from his colleagues to eat.
A white T-shirt, worn for three years without changing, with holes in his armpits, he still wears it.
At the age of 22, Guo Donglin participated in a sitcom in order to make money.
In 1993, Guo Donglin collaborated with an Italian on "Market Sketch".
In fact, Guo Donglin's ability to attend the Spring Festival Gala that year was completely unexpected.
Director Zhang Ziyang suddenly changed the election rules of the Spring Festival Gala program and adopted a novel + popular way to campaign for the show.
Although Guo Donglin's show is novel, it also looks a little lonely under many popular stars.
However, two years later, he will return strongly.
02. Eight words determine ups and downs
In 1995, he received the sketch script for "Something You Say".
When Guo Donglin heard that he was going to perform at the Spring Festival Gala, he was in a happy mood, and when he got the script, he read it over and over again, lest he remember a wrong sentence.
Even though there was still a period of time before the Spring Festival Gala, he still persevered and practiced every day.
That year, Guo Donglin was 27 years old and finally became the protagonist on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala.
Most of the Chinese recognized this enthusiastic Guo Zi, and even when he went home for the New Year, the driver couldn't help but praise when he saw him: "You are the one who performed the sketch at the Spring Festival Gala, you acted too well."
In this regard, Guo Donglin could only smile shyly, revealing his small dimples.
The driver saw him holding his waist, thinking that he was not feeling well, Guo Donglin said with a smile:
"Old problem, it's okay."
In fact, a few days before the Spring Festival Gala, he had a car accident.
In order not to delay the Spring Festival Gala, his waist was covered with a steel plate, and every time he stood and performed, it would make him tear his heart and lungs apart.
When fame and fortune were reaped, his father died of illness, which became Guo Donglin's most regrettable thing.
His mother persuaded him that now that he had a good career, he should also find a woman to marry and have children, and he couldn't let the old man die without worry.
When he mentioned his father, he had mixed feelings, and the bitterness of the past was like a tide pouring into his mind, which could not be erased for a long time.
Now, he doesn't worry about food and clothing, and he won't be blinded by others, but his father can't enjoy it.
Guo Donglin, who is outside the sketch, is busy with endorsements, filming, and advertising, and has no time to take care of marrying a wife.
And Guo Donglin in the play is the "husband" of Niu Li, Zhou Tao, and Liu Tao, which is really blessed.
If he has been playing "husband and wife", he may be able to be popular for a lifetime.
Unexpectedly, a change made his career plummet, and he almost caused a "shocking lawsuit".
In 2017, the Spring Festival Gala made a skit show for telecom fraud, with the aim of improving everyone's awareness of anti-fraud.
This is a special requirement for the director of the Spring Festival Gala by CCTV, and they selected many people to audition, and finally decided to let Guo Donglin participate.
That year, Guo Donglin's show was originally another family drama, but for this show, the family drama could only be replaced.
Unexpectedly, as soon as the sketch "Withdraw Money" was released, Guo Donglin was hacked.
Many viewers in Henan boycotted him one after another, putting a black hat on his head to "slander Henan people".
The screenwriter also couldn't help but speak, saying that this was a problem with the script and had nothing to do with Guo Donglin.
Unexpectedly, everyone recognized Guo Donglin and pointed at him alone.
The form was urgent, and Guo Donglin could only apologize in person, but the people of Henan spoke out to sue him and lose money to every Henan person as a mental damage fee.
Fortunately, this case was originally an absurd story, the judge did not accept it, and Guo Donglin did not compensate money.
Since then, Guo Donglin's career has plummeted, and he has not been invited to the Spring Festival Gala for two consecutive years.
During that time, his mood was very complicated, and he mourned himself all day.
As soon as his brother mentioned this matter, his heart was like a knife cut, and he couldn't stop aching.
Guo Donglin looked at others at the Spring Festival Gala, and the proud appearance of the spring breeze often secretly cried.
He almost acted irrationally, but fortunately, his family did not complain about him, but accompanied him through the most difficult moments.
03, Guo Donglin did not have the opportunity to go to the Spring Festival Gala, is it really his mistake?
In 2019, Guo Donglin went to the Spring Festival Gala again.
He thought that time would make everyone forget everything, but the truth is that no one has forgotten.
Just one day later, Guo Donglin was boycotted again during the Spring Festival.
Many Henan people still talk about the previous things, which makes him entangled in every way.
Boycotted again and again, Guo Donglin had no intention of working.
He left Beijing and returned to his hometown to live for a long time.
During that time, friends and family went to him to comfort him.
Guo Donglin quit all his jobs and barely showed up, even if his relatives looked for him, he avoided it.
Once, the director of CCTV asked him to go back to record the program, and Guo Donglin hmm-hmm-hmm twice, and hung up the phone.
Subsequently, he told the director about his situation, and then tactfully pushed it away.
In December 2020, someone reported that he was going to the Spring Festival Gala again.
It was originally a trumped-up thing, but everyone posted an article questioning him and boycotting him at the Spring Festival Gala.
Some viewers said that if Guo Donglin went to the Spring Festival Gala, they would not watch the Spring Festival Gala.
Some people directly ran to his account to ask, you have been banned, you can still go to the Spring Festival Gala, is there any insider operation behind it?
In this regard, Guo Donglin can only post another article to explain that he has not said such things as "regional black", if you still don't understand something, you can go to see the sketch "Withdraw Money".
I don't know if I was hurt too deeply, Guo Donglin pushed off the CCTV stage program a lot.
He set his sights on the short video platform and began to live broadcast goods, tell skits and stories to the audience.
Former fans have followed him, and he has 5 million fans in less than a month after entering the short video platform.
After several years of development, his fans have exceeded 8 million.
Open any video in his Douyin and you can see Guo Donglin's happy appearance.
He always carries two small dimples to tell everyone jokes and tell interesting things about life.
After having fans, he also began to live broadcast goods, and the "sister-in-law" around him also changed.
Some people say that the sister-in-law in Douyin is his real wife.
But Guo Donglin said that life does not necessarily have to have a family, and living alone will be very exciting.
With the support of this sister-in-law, the effect of the two of them also doubled a lot.
The things in the shopping cart are often snatched up by fans, and the ability to bring goods is a big name.
There are also many official media, calling him an artist who breaks through himself.
Compared with other carriers who have attended the Spring Festival Gala, Guo Donglin's way of bringing goods is more practical, and he is really first-class in the selection of products.
As he himself said, this road is not to make money, but to benefit everyone.
Guo Donglin entered the live broadcast circle, is it really to make money, or to fight for a career?
For now, it's more that he doesn't want to give up his career and wants to get back on the stage.
It's just that on a big stage like the Spring Festival Gala, he can't go back in a short time.
A small stage like a short video is his best choice.
Guo Donglin's live broadcast did not have a group of demons dancing, nor did he roar and shout for everyone to buy things every day.
Therefore, it is not unreasonable that he can increase his fans so quickly.
56-year-old Guo Donglin, after experiencing ups and downs, finally made a comeback, which can be regarded as a lucky thing.
Epilogue:
From a downtrodden child to a leftovers, step by step onto the stage of the Spring Festival Gala, he doesn't know how much he has suffered and how many people's white eyes have suffered.
But he didn't expect that the catastrophe from the sky would not tell him, making him a "rat crossing the street" overnight.
It took more than two years of hardship before he came out of the shadows.
Now, Guo Donglin has created another brilliant career in the live broadcast career, which really confirms that sentence:
"People with strength can make a career on any platform."
It's just a pity, going around in circles, his family problems, always worry the family.
