Have you all heard the Douyin Divine Comedy "The Promise"?
Back then, a young man named Guo Youcai brought this song on his own, and not only that, but also made Heze South Station a tourist attraction.
However, this phenomenal Internet celebrity got into trouble after it became popular.
From becoming popular overnight to falling off the altar, I have to say that the Internet, no matter who it is, how high it has flew, how badly it will fall.
Being backstabbed by a loved one
Back then, when Guo Youcai broadcast live at Heze Railway Station in Shandong, a song "Promise" caused countless onlookers.
However, once a person becomes famous, it is bound to be accompanied by all kinds of troubles.
Initially, Guo Youcai inadvertently said in the live broadcast, "Is it okay not to go to work, you support me?" This sentence aroused the anger of the crowd, so much so that he had to stop broadcasting for three days.
Immediately afterwards, Guo Youcai received a reward for his cover of "The Promise", but was unexpectedly sued by the original singer on the grounds of suspected infringement, and the reward function in the live broadcast room was also closed.
Later, he was also reported again for not wearing a life jacket during the live boating broadcast. It can be described as a wave of unevenness, wave after wave.
Just a few days ago, Guo Youcai was severely reprimanded by his uncle, saying that in order to gain attention, he even used his grandmother.
This remark undoubtedly put Guo Youcai on the cusp of public opinion, and people can't help but suspect that the "filial piety" image shown by this Internet celebrity star in the past is nothing more than a hypocrisy.
But is that really the case?
In order to clarify himself, Guo Youcai immediately clarified, saying that the release of the grandmother's video is only for commemorative purposes and not for any profit-making purposes.
And Guo Youcai said that the real unfilial person is actually an uncle.
At that time, my grandmother's housework such as air conditioning and sanitation was taken care of by herself, and she sent food and money to her grandmother much more often than her uncle.
As the incident fermented, Guo Youcai's friends also joined in, proving that Guo Youcai is indeed a filial person.
Friends said that a few days before Guo Youcai's grandmother was discharged from the hospital, she saw Guo Youcai's father cleaning at his grandmother's house for at least three days.
At that time, it was the hottest time, a cart of garbage was pushed out, and he went to his shop to buy water, and he was sweating hot, his clothes were wet, and he felt like a very real person when he spoke!
Moreover, Guo Youcai's grandmother has lived there for several years, and Guo Youcai has often been seen going, but his uncle has basically never seen it.
It wasn't until Guo Youcai became famous that the neighbors knew that he still had an uncle and aunt.
So the question is, what is the uncle trying to stab Guo Youcai in the back?
Some netizens feel that the reason why the uncle will try his best to belittle Guo Youcai is that it is likely to stem from inner jealousy.
After all, when Guo Youcai quickly became famous from an unknown ordinary person, the uncle probably couldn't accept such a change in reality, so he deliberately slandered his character.
However, even if friends come out to solve the siege, many netizens also look at Guo Youcai with colored glasses.
Because there is no wind and no waves, it was discovered not long ago that Guo Youcai had registered a 3 million company under his name, but now it has been cancelled.
What makes fans even more disappointed is that Guo Youcai has previously said that he will not participate in any activities to bring goods, but he gave too much money, and Guo Youcai still couldn't resist the temptation.
However, despite these doubts and controversies, Guo Youcai does have some positive points.
For example, he insisted on touring all over the country to bring joy to everyone, and bought a Tesla for his wife, and his own car is still the motorcycle.
Unexpectedly became popular with fire Heze
In fact, before becoming an Internet celebrity, Guo Youcai was still an unknown restaurant manager, but he liked to sing at that time, and he would post a video when he had nothing to do.
At first, Guo Youcai didn't know much about the resources on the Internet, so he could only rely on trial and error to keep groping forward.
In the process, he began to try to shoot some short videos and sketches, hoping to find his place in the huge online world.
Sure enough, Guo Youcai quickly attracted the attention of netizens by giving full play to his "Hezebu" characteristics.
This kind of spiritual guy style with local characteristics made him make his debut on the Internet and gradually accumulated a group of loyal fans.
However, this is just the beginning.
In 2019, Guo Youcai encountered another turning point - he began to try to transform and shoot more funny videos.
At the same time, he also conducted a microphone PK with another Internet celebrity, in which Guo Youcai gained the attention and support of a large number of fans with his cover of the song "I Really Love You".
In this way, after some tempering, Guo Youcai gradually found his position in the online world.
However, an even bigger turnaround is yet to come. By chance, he chose to broadcast live at Heze South Station, which has been out of operation for 20 years.
This long-abandoned railway station is not only closely connected to Guo Youcai's hometown, but also his childhood memory.
The live broadcast here not only allows him to get closer to the audience, but also revitalizes this prestigious old station.
Since then, Guo Youcai's singing has become a topic of conversation together with this long-abandoned South Railway Station.
His unique retro nostalgic style, combined with a deep magnetic voice, quickly set off a craze on the Internet.
In May 2024, Guo Youcai ushered in the biggest turning point in his life.
At that time, he sang a cover of "Promise" in the live broadcast room, but he didn't expect that with his appearance and a few contrasting voices, he instantly exploded.
In this live broadcast, the number of his fans exceeded 8.6 million, the number of viewers was as high as 52.385 million, and the total number of likes exceeded 310 million.
In just a few days, Guo Youcai has attracted nearly 10 million fans, and his cover of "Promise" is considered by countless netizens to be much better than the original song.
A song not only achieved Guo Youcai, but also achieved Heze South Station.
Guo Youcai's live broadcast triggered a boom in Heze, and a large number of tourists made a special trip to Heze South Station to listen to his scene.
This overwhelming heat has made the local government have to pay attention to it.
In order to welcome these tourists who came to check in, the local government of Heze urgently repaired and strengthened the road leading to the South Railway Station overnight.
At the same time, they also arranged a group of volunteers to guide and serve these visitors.
The local cultural and tourism department in Heze also quickly seized this great opportunity.
They quickly hired Guo Youcai as the recommendation officer of Heze Cultural Tourism, hoping to further enhance the popularity and attractiveness of Heze with the help of this Internet celebrity's popularity.
I have to say that no one, including the leaders of Heze, thought that this city could become popular for a while with a song.
And Guo Youcai, who brought this wave of traffic, was also picked up by netizens.
Tragic background
In 1999, Guo Youcai was born in an ordinary small rural family.
Although his family background is ordinary, his childhood is peaceful and happy.
But everything changed when he was 10 years old, when the tragic death of his mother cast a shadow over his family.
After that, his father re-established the family, and his attention and care for Guo Youcai gradually decreased.
For this reason, he had to move to his third aunt's house.
At the age of 13, Guo Youcai had to drop out of school and began to work hard in society.
However, with his young age, it was difficult for him to find a suitable job. In the end, he had to choose to become an apprentice, albeit with a meager salary, but at least to support himself.
During this period, Guo Youcai earned his first salary in his life with a front desk job.
He found new hope in this money, decisively bought a guitar, and began his own pursuit of music.
However, the pressures of life took him breathless.
In order to make ends meet, he has built an electric car, worked as a front desk for a bathing center, and even tried to set up a stall. This busy work state also makes it difficult for him to play music.
After that, Guo Youcai tried to start a business again, hoping to be ashamed.
He opened a barbecue stall one after another, but in the end, the venture ended in failure due to various reasons.
This repeated setbacks undoubtedly plunged him into confusion and despair.
It was at this time that Guo Youcai saw the opportunity brought by Internet live broadcasting.
His live stream quickly became a sensation on the Internet, and the number of followers continued to climb.
This "sudden" explosion of popularity has also made Guo Youcai's mentality change subtly.
From a small fire to a popular, Guo Youcai can be regarded as having insight and knowing what can make money.
When he first became popular, Guo Youcai firmly stated that he would never participate in the goods activities, but in the end he sold a cough drink in the live broadcast.
Later, he sold more and more goods in the live broadcast room, and fans began to be disgusted.
At the same time, after Guo Youcai sang the cover of "The Promise", he was also sued for infringement by the original singer.
It can only be said that Guo Youcai has suffered the loss of being uneducated.
Since "The Promise" can't be sung, he will sing other songs, and in the later live broadcast room, Guo Youcai covered more tracks, and at this time, a fan suggested that since he sang so well, it was better to have a tour.
In fact, this kind of tour is just a kind of live broadcast, after all, he is not a singer, and he broadcasts wherever he goes.
Now, such a national tour is still very successful.
Although the live broadcast makes fans very disgusted, I have to admit that Guo Youcai used another way to realize his music dream.
This kind of persistent spirit may allow him to regain his original emotion and regain his original intention.
