In the accident in 1987, Guo Da appeared on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala for the first time, and his wonderful performance amazed the four seats! This art giant, who was born in an ordinary worker's family, grew up in a poor family, and his parents were both railway workers.
At the age of 15, Guo Da bravely chose to do heavy physical labor at the train station, such as mowing grass and feeding pigs, as a way to subsidize his family.
Despite the hardships of life, Guo Da's love for theatre has never diminished. Outside of work, he always listens to radio dramas, which leads to a deep obsession with acting.
After graduating from high school, he resolutely decided to apply for the acting department of Shanghai Theater Academy, and after many tests, he was finally able to step into the palace of art that he was fascinated by.
During his college years, Guo Da worked hard, never arrived late or left early in acting courses, and won the title of outstanding student many times. However, in the early stage of being assigned to the Shaanxi Drama Theater after graduation, because he was a newcomer, he was ostracized and ridiculed by many senior actors, and even the opportunity to star in the play was taken away by others, and his heart was full of endless grievances and pain.
However, Guo Da was not discouraged by this. He has performed more than 30 plays on the drama stage, and after 10 years of precipitation and tempering, he has finally grown into an outstanding drama actor.
Just when his career was booming, his debut in the Spring Festival Gala made Guo Da famous overnight and successfully transformed into a high-profile sketch actor.
Guo Da's outstanding performance in the Spring Festival Gala made him appear in the Spring Festival Gala again in 1988 and 1989, and became one of the first-class sketch actors. The audience's expectations for him are growing day by day, and his career has reached its peak.
However, at this time, he was suddenly absent from the Spring Festival Gala in 1990 and missed an important growth opportunity.
In that year, Zhao Benshan from the Northeast brought a new audio-visual experience to the audience with his unique humorous style, and quickly emerged in the Spring Festival Gala and became a frequent guest of the Spring Festival Gala for three consecutive years.
The competition between the two artists is becoming more and more fierce, Guo Da used to be a well-known and beloved sketch actor to the audience, but with the rise of Zhao Benshan, his light gradually dimmed, and the director of the Spring Festival Gala gradually favored Zhao Benshan's works with strong local characteristics, and the sketches created by Guo Da have been repeatedly rejected.
Time flies, and now Zhao Benshan has become a household name, he has appeared on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala dozens of times, and his reputation is unparalleled.
Guo Da, on the other hand, has long since fallen silent, and few people mention his former glory.
Once upon a time, two theater giants played in the center of the colorful stage, and they achieved remarkable results when they were in their prime, which is embarrassing.
As the so-called feng shui takes turns, Zhao Benshan's sketch style is now mixed, some people think it is too radical and vulgar, but the indisputable fact is that in that era full of laughter, his works did bring endless joy and deep resonance to the audience.
However, Guo Da's gradual fading out undoubtedly made his position in the sketch world more and more lonely. This has undoubtedly become an indelible regret in his acting career.
In 1993, under the recommendation of a mutual friend, Guo Da was fortunate to meet the talented Cai Ming. The two hit it off and quickly found an opportunity to work together.
The first sketch "Loess Slope" co-starring them successfully amused countless audiences with its vivid and interesting language and won enthusiastic responses.
Since then, Guo Da has finally found a golden partner who is a perfect match for him, and the two have a tacit understanding, Guo Da's creative inspiration is endless, and his sketches are deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
With Cai Ming's exquisite cooperation, Guo Da re-appeared on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala and achieved another successful transformation.
The combination of "Cai Buli Guo" quickly became a classic representative of this era, and many sketches such as "Transatlantic Telephone" and "Fashionable Dad" performed by them have become popular songs of the Spring Festival Gala and are popular all over the country.
However, in 2010, Guo Da, who had been fighting side by side with Cai Ming for 20 years, suddenly expressed to Cai Ming his willingness to end this long-term cooperation.
Cai Ming was deeply shocked, she knew Guo Da's personality very well, and understood that this was not an easy task for him at this time, Guo Da was 56 years old, and his body was devastated by years of hard work, and he urgently needed to get full rest and recuperation.
What's more, his busy work leaves him with little time to spend at home with his family, and his relationship with his son has become estranged, which has undoubtedly become the heaviest burden in Guo Da's heart.
When Guo Da told these sad pasts, Cai Ming couldn't help but burst into tears, she knew Guo Da's predicament very well, and could only respect his decision.
In this way, Cai Ming personally ended his 20-year hand in hand with his best friend and confidant. The departure of the duo shocked and reluctantly the audience, and they have become a collective memory of this era, but Guo Da knows that he needs to put aside his work for a while and return to family life.
Guo Da chose to leave the stage of the Spring Festival Gala, which contains his thoughtful decision and deep inner pain. After years of intense work, the 56-year-old was physically and mentally exhausted, with frequent episodes of dizziness and headaches, and his physical condition deteriorated.
What makes Mr. Guo Da even more painful is undoubtedly the increasingly cold family bond with his parents and children. Time flies, and the young child has grown into an independent young man, however, the deep friendship between father and son has passed away quietly like a kite breaking string, and it can no longer capture the intimate dependence and coquettishness of the past.
Guo Da knew that the culprit behind this was his overly busy work schedule, and his heart was full of deep guilt and loss, and when these painful emotions accumulated to the peak, he finally made up his mind and bravely said goodbye to the tacit cooperation with Ms. Cai Ming for 20 years, which was undoubtedly an unforgettable choice for the two of them.
In the face of doubts and speculations from all walks of life, Mr. Guo Da was as firm as a rock and calmly accepted the cruel reality of declining popularity. After retiring from the stage of the Spring Festival Gala, he was indifferent to fame and fortune and devoted himself to family life, especially trying to repair the father-son relationship between him and his son who was estranged due to busyness.
At the same time, he also pays attention to the maintenance of the body and mind, so that the body gradually rejuvenates Today's Mr. Guo Da has long been far away from the prosperity and glory of the past, and looks at the past successes and failures with a peaceful attitude, he admitted frankly that he has never regretted the decision to leave the Spring Festival Gala.
Because he understands that the stage of the Spring Festival Gala is too dazzling, and it takes a huge price to pay for standing there, including health, family and even his true self.
Mr. Guo Da's sober understanding is admirable, and it also sounded the alarm for those actors who work too hard.
Although he has left the stage of the Spring Festival Gala, Mr. Guo Da has not given up his love for art. He turned to the field of film and drama and participated in many excellent TV series and film works.
For example, in the movie "Hands Up", he played a witty and humorous farmer, who started a contest of wisdom and courage with a translator, and in the TV series "Dazzled", he portrayed the image of an old worker who raised his daughter alone, which is delicate and touching.
Mr. Guo Da, who is now sixty-eight years old, is no longer the high-spirited appearance of the past, his hair is full of silver threads, and his face is also covered with traces of time.
However, he still maintains his enthusiasm and dedication to his acting career, constantly pursuing the improvement and breakthrough of his acting skills, his successes and setbacks, the glory of the past and the dullness of today, together constitute the colorful life picture of this old artist, no matter what stage of life he is in, the road of acting never ends.
This is the story of Mr. Guo Da, an artist who has a sincere love for his acting career and is never satisfied, which is worthy of every actor's deep thought and reference.
