"Iron sister-in-law, flowing water Guozi", people who love to watch sketches should know that this sentence is used to describe Guo Donglin.
As everyone knows, in the show, the "wife" can not stop changing him, and there have been almost zero scandals in the nearly 30 years since his debut.
In addition, he has also brought many popular works to the audience in the 20th year of the Spring Festival Gala, and has become a well-deserved "Spring Festival Gala Nail Household".
What is unexpected is that such a sketch actor who is loved by countless people has been labeled as "regional black" because of 8 words, and has also been claimed 100 million.
From unlimited scenery to plummeting reputation, what has Guo Donglin experienced?
Why can Guo Donglin interpret the little people to the fullest?
I think this has something to do with the fact that he struggled to live at the bottom of life at a young age and experienced the bitterness of small people from an early age.
In 1966, Guo Donglin was born in a family of quyi artists, his father was Guo Changyi, a Shandong kuaishu performance artist, and his mother was a Xuzhou Qinshu actor. He was the oldest in the family, and he had two older brothers on top.
It is reasonable to say that growing up in such a family, he should be regarded as a "brother who is not rich or expensive", at least he can live a life without worry, but the truth is just the opposite.
It is reported that Guo Donglin's uncle went to Taiwan in the early years, and in the environment at that time, this relationship affected Guo Changyi, causing their family of five to fall into poverty.
In order to support her family, Guo Changyi could only go to the factory to pull goods and do some manual work to barely make ends meet.
But at that time, the three children of the Guo family were growing up, and the daily porridge could not meet the nutritional needs of the children, and even eating enough was a luxury.
It is said that the father loves like a mountain, looking at the children who are waiting to be fed, Guo Changyi can't bear it, and secretly takes some sugar in the factory to supplement their nutrition at the risk of being dismissed.
But it wasn't long before the factory director knew about it, and Guo Changyi was fired. Fortunately, Guo Changyi has found a new job again - helping people deliver goods and continuing to support the family with a meager salary.
At that time, the young Guo Donglin would follow his father from time to time to help him look at the goods.
Once, when my father was working until the afternoon, both fathers and sons were so hungry that their chests were pressed against their backs, and just at this time they passed a restaurant again, and the smell of the aroma came to the face, so hungry that Guo Donglin could not walk directly.
When Guo Changyi saw the situation, he let Guo Dong wait in place and went to the restaurant to find the boss to ask for a bowl of hot soup, but the boss was extremely disgusted and drove him out of the door like a beggar.
Afterwards, Guo Changyi took Guo Donglin and waited carefully at the door, hoping that the customers in the store would be able to drink some soup after eating.
It was hard to see that someone had some soup left, and they were about to go forward, but a woman suddenly rushed over and spit into the bowl, deliberately disgusting their father and son.
This incident left a deep shadow on the young Guo Donglin, and when he was less than 5 years old, he realized what it was like to be cold and warm in the world.
Later, Guo Changyi broke her leg while working and could not continue to make money.
Therefore, the mother took Guo Donglin around the cave, even if the wind and food were sleeping, the mother and son had to sell their art hard, and this state was maintained until Guo Donglin was more than 10 years old.
It is precisely in this way that Guo Donglin has understood the sophistication of human feelings since he was a child, and understands that it is not easy for small people to survive, and he can play small people into three points in the future.
With this rich performance experience, Guo Donglin's basic skills have also been practiced particularly solidly, which has laid the foundation for him to become a comedian in the future.
At that time, Guo Donglin's parents' work returned to normal, and he could re-enter the school to continue his studies.
Guo Donglin, who has a certain degree of acting skills in his own right, was successfully admitted to the Shanghai Theater Academy a few years later, and then was admitted to Beijing Renyi.
This school has trained many old drama bones and powerful actors, such as Song Dandan, Wu Gang, Xu Fan and other people from here, basically those who can be admitted here are equivalent to half a foot into the show business circle.
It is also like this that Guo Donglin made a cameo appearance in the first sitcom "The Story of the Editorial Department" here, and the famous "Ge Youliang" came from here.
Perhaps because he felt that acting was not suitable for him, Guo Donglin eventually did not embark on the road of film and television, but transformed into a comedy.
In 1993, Guo Donglin debuted at the Spring Festival Gala and performed his sketch "Market Sketch".
At that time, he was not bald, nor was he hot.
Because it is the first time to appear on this stage, Guo Donglin's whole performance is more mechanized, there is no more personal ideas and performances, and he is not remembered by the audience if he is not prominent enough.
Fortunately, Guo Donglin had suffered many setbacks in his early years, and this little wind and wave could not hit him at all.
Therefore, Guo Donglin continued to polish his level and strive to perform every small detail very well.
With these efforts and efforts, Guo Donglin made rapid progress, and for the second time, he was obviously more handy when he cooperated with Buy Hongmei on the spring evening with the sketch "Something You Talked About".
Just after playing, Guo Donglin conquered the audience with the image of a red turban and a roll, and played a face-loving "wife and strict" very brilliantly, which was unanimously praised by many audiences.
Overnight, Guo Donglin became popular all over the country with the small character of "Guo Zi".
How hot was he at that time?
On the first day of the Chinese New Year, Guo Donglin went out to run errands, and when he took a taxi, he was recognized by the driver.
The driver even praised him for acting like himself, calling out that he liked Guo Donglin very much, and finally did not want his fare when he got off the bus.
Of course, Guo Donglin still gave money as usual.
From this point on, Guo Donglin began to realize that only the most ordinary little people could resonate. Coupled with the fact that he experienced a lot of bittersweet and bittersweet in his early years, he was able to play this role more and more naturally and movingly.
In this way, Guo Donglin's works are full of the daily life of ordinary people, and "Guo Zi, who is afraid of his wife", has also become his fixed personality on the stage, and more and more people like him.
Guo Donglin, whose popularity is rising, has gradually become a nail household in the Spring Festival Gala, and has been on the Spring Festival Gala for more than 20 years.
In those years, Guo Donglin, who was at the peak of his career, in addition to being a "resident of the Spring Festival Gala", was also a well-known "big advertiser".
Whether it is the well-known "so-and-so consumption tablet".
Or a high degree of national "so-and-so laundry detergent", or toothpaste, soy sauce and other daily necessities, the spokesperson is Guo Donglin.
At this time, Guo Donglin did not know that while fame and resources were pouring in, trouble was also on the way.
In 2007, a Mr. Li sued Guo Donglin in court, he clearly stated that so-and-so washing powder could not wash clean clothes at all, felt that Guo Donglin exaggerated, and asked him to compensate himself 2.2 yuan!
Don't you think it's ridiculous?
Yes, at that time, many people thought that this matter was ridiculous to the extreme, and only regarded it as a joke, and Guo Donglin was not affected in any way.
However, no one expected that such a similar thing would be staged again in 10 years, and Guo Donglin was not so lucky at this time.
In 2017, Guo Donglin performed the sketch "Take Money" on Beijing Satellite TV, in which there was a clip in which a scammer called the deceived aunt and urged her to quickly pay herself in dialect.
However, this sentence "Hey, that, hurry up and hit the money" has aroused the disgust of many Henan netizens.
Many people say that these 8 characters are authentic Henan dialects, why is it that the whole process is Mandarin communication, and the scammers here become Henan people? Isn't that geographical discrimination?
In addition, another Henan lawyer directly filed a lawsuit with the court, saying that Guo Donglin and others needed to pay moral losses to Henan people.
How much do you pay?
One dollar per person, the total amount at that time was about 100 million yuan.
When the fermentation of public opinion became more and more intense, the playwright Wei Xin stood up and clarified that this dubbing was matched by himself, but it was actually a Shandong dialect, not a Henan dialect.
After the misunderstanding was explained clearly, this "100 million yuan incident" slowly disappeared, and Guo Donglin did not really compensate 100 million yuan.
Unfortunately, although the storm has passed, it still has a negative impact on Guo Donglin, and his reputation and popularity have also fallen a lot since then, rarely appearing in the Spring Festival Gala.
To this day, the news that Guo Donglin was banned for 100 million yuan is still spreading.
As a last resort, he could only clarify again on the Internet, saying that he had never been black and had not been banned.
In fact, people who have been paying attention to Guo Donglin should know that he is not only not hidden by the snow, but has a more sound and colorful life.
He has his own short video account, attracted more than 7 million fans with his talent, and obtained more than 100 million likes, with high commercial value.
In addition, he also posted a paragraph saying that he would not cheat, because there was no one who loved him, and the side reaction was still single.
In addition to these, he will also participate in some commercial activities, saying on the spot that he is not an actor and is doing real estate projects.
It can be seen that Guo Donglin, who was misunderstood at the beginning, did not become depressed, but instead kept converging on the light and re-breaking out of another path of his own.
I have to say that the "Guo Zi" of that year made Guo Donglin.
But what makes Guo Donglin popular with the public so far is not just a role so simple, but his own disobedience and high quality have infected many ordinary people, in order to catch fire until now.
Some people say that Guo Donglin's work as an Internet celebrity has reduced his own value.
I would like to say that no matter what line of work, Guo Donglin can maintain his heart and work hard, and he deserves our respect for this alone.
