In my lifetime, I am happy to meet you, please click "Follow", thank you for your support.
2017 can be called the glorious year of Guo Donglin's acting career, he has worked the stage for nearly 20 years, and has won the love and praise of the audience. However, in the same year, a humorous short drama "Withdrawing Money" with the theme of revealing telecom fraud unexpectedly put him in a predicament that he never expected.
In the plot, the fraudster cleverly uses the Henan dialect during telephone communication to coerce the other party to transfer funds immediately. In order to enhance the dramatic effect, Guo Donglin then added: "As the saying goes, 'nine out of ten Henan people'.
This seemingly unintentional ridicule instantly aroused strong dissatisfaction and resistance to Henan across the country.
Faced with the flood of condemnation and doubts, Guo Donglin's heart was full of panic. He never imagined that one of his insignificant lines would cause such a serious social turmoil.
As the protagonist of this work, Guo Donglin naturally became the primary target of public opinion attacks.
His aides informed him that a Henan lawyer had written a serious warning letter, demanding a public apology from Beijing Television and himself, as well as a compensation of 1 yuan to each Henan compatriot.
This is undoubtedly an unimaginably large amount of money, and if it is really executed, it will undoubtedly be a fatal blow to him.
Seeing all the good things gradually moving away from him, Guo Donglin fell into an unprecedented predicament. The good reputation accumulated over the years has come to naught in an instant, commercial cooperation has been interrupted, and performance invitations have become increasingly scarce.
The decline of his career made Guo Donglin fall into deep thought, and he couldn't help but recall his arduous but precious artistic pursuit. He was born in an ordinary family, his father Guo Changyi was a hardworking and simple factory worker, and his mother was a quietly dedicated housewife.
Due to his poor family, Guo Donglin's childhood memories left many deep impressions about poverty. He still vividly remembers that as a child, he always stared at the leftovers that his father had smuggled back from the factory canteen, and longed to taste the delicious meals of his neighbors' homes.
The family's financial situation is too poor for him and his two brothers to provide adequate nutrition, and they often have to make ends meet on hard bread.
Whenever night falls, Guo Changyi, who is full of artistic passion, will always stroll through the streets and alleys with Guo Donglin, who is young and vigorous, silently watching the shining stage in the distance, burying his deep and fiery longing and yearning for art.
Under the careful teaching and subtle influence of his father, Guo Donglin developed an irresistible obsession with the broad and profound art of quyi. The colorful stages and the lifelike actors fascinated him and made him aspire to become an outstanding artist like them.
Since then, Guo Donglin has strengthened his belief and decided to use his own hands to break the shackles of poverty and bravely pursue his deep dreams. Although it was not an easy time to hone during that arduous training period, Lady Luck favored him, and he successfully passed the rigorous selection of the Shanghai Theater Academy and began a four-year professional study journey.
His diligence and eagerness to learn have become a solid foundation for his foothold in the world, and the honor of outstanding graduate is the best testament to his tenacity and perseverance. Since then, he has officially embarked on his humble and persistent acting career.
Despite his deep professional skills, Guo Donglin still needs to seek a breakthrough in the fierce competition among his peers. In 1991, he made his first appearance on the screen in the hit TV series "The Story of the Editorial Department", although it was only an insignificant supporting role, but it laid a solid foundation for his brilliant bloom on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala in the future.
In 1993, an unexpected phone call completely overturned Guo Donglin's fate. At that time, the director of the Spring Festival Gala seemed to have the ability to predict the future, and remembered Guo Donglin, who performed well in "The Story of the Editorial Department" and was widely acclaimed, so he immediately contacted him and sincerely invited him to participate in the recording of the Spring Festival Gala that year.
The sudden good fortune made Guo Donglin a little overwhelmed, he never imagined that he would be able to stand on the stage of his dreams so quickly. However, as a young and promising actor, the stage is undoubtedly the epitome of all his pursuits, and he accepted the invitation without hesitation.
In this way, Guo Donglin emerged on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala, and won warm applause and cheers from the audience with the sketch "Market Sketch". The beginning of this success did not stop him, and he continued to sweat and temper himself in various repertoire, until 1995, when he finally achieved another leap in his life.
It was in a certain year that the well-known playwright Mr. Wang Chengyou gave Guo Donglin a deeply portrayed character——— which not only has a passionate and selfless side, but also praises himself at the right time, showing a unique market atmosphere.
This lifelike and deeply rooted character aroused strong resonance among the audience, making Guo Donglin famous overnight at that Spring Festival Gala, and his acting career was greatly promoted and developed.
Since then, his star journey has become broader and brighter, and many industry master-level partners have extended olive branches to him, and popular advertising endorsements have also come one after another. Whether it is in the superstars of the film industry or in the process of cooperating with well-known figures, Guo Donglin has always been able to play with ease and ease, and has won high praise and appreciation from industry insiders and audiences.
For the first time he stepped into the stage of the showbiz - sketches, Guo Donglin has always maintained a deep love and awe, and for nearly 20 years, he has always adhered to this stage, bringing wonderful performances to the audience, and establishing an inseparable emotional bond with the audience.
In 2000, Guo Donglin ushered in another major turning point and milestone in his career. With his excellent acting skills, he successfully portrayed "Li Xian", a complex character with a weak personality and inner contradictions, in the TV series "Daming Palace Ci", and finally won the highest honor of the Golden Eagle Award that year.
For an actor born in the field of comedy, it is really commendable to be able to perfectly interpret such a role in the shadow of his mother Wu Zetian and his wife Webster.
The audience was deeply moved by Guo Donglin's superb acting skills, and this masterpiece that examines history from a new perspective also made people rediscover his profound skills.
He broke the single comedic image in the minds of the audience with his brilliant performance, showcased his incomparably rich theatrical talent, and amazed everyone. This Golden Eagle Award is not only a full affirmation of his hard work over the years, but also a strong impetus for his determination to climb to the top in the film and television field.
His every movement, every look, all exudes a dazzling light of success. Guo Donglin is like a rising sun, illuminating the tortuous and arduous path of countless dreamers.
And he himself will firmly follow this path and persistently pursue higher and farther artistic dreams.
However, this sentence - "ten Henan people and nine liars" - unintentional but powerful words made Guo Donglin have to fall into the shadow of the low ebb of his career and cannot extricate himself. This sudden public relations crisis, like a storm, struck relentlessly and violently, almost making the fruits of his hard work on the stage disappear immediately.
Faced with such severe trauma, Guo Donglin's friend and screenwriter Wei Xin decided to come forward and defuse the crisis by making a public apology. He candidly said that the mention of the Henan region was only because of some idiomatic expressions in life, and there was no malicious or bad intention.
Under the indiscriminate bombardment of public opinion, Guo Donglin also took quick action to clarify the truth of the facts. He firmly denied that he had suffered the fate of the so-called "ban", and firmly opposed those who accused him of regional discrimination.
For him, who has always been low-key and introverted, humble and polite, this is undoubtedly a heavy blow.
For a while, Guo Donglin seemed to have fallen into a bottomless ice cave and was trapped in the dark corner of his career. The audience can no longer see him on the major stages, which also exacerbates the speculation and rumors of "Guo Donglin was banned" by the outside world.
Luckily, as the incident subsided, the sun finally broke through the clouds again and shone warmly on the cold-stricken artist. The audience's long-awaited gaze refocused on him, and the familiar figure reappeared in people's sight.
Just as he expressed his sincere attitude during the trough, Guo Donglin was finally able to devote himself to the cause he loved. He will continue to present a variety of works to the audience, and use future excellence to soothe the noise and regret left by those difficult years.
