Personal life

His wife, Yue Lina, met the drama performance major of Hebei art school. Later, they joined Chengde drama troupe in Hebei Province and began to associate with each other. Beautiful wife Yue Lina is an advanced worker in the troupe, while Guo Jingyu is only a "poor student". She has never been a leading actor in a drama, but she is good at writing plays.

In order for her husband to have a better job development, Yue Lina resolutely gave up the work of the troupe, and they wandered in Beijing together and became a North drifter. In order to make money, his wife worked hard to act, even took on some roles she didn't want to play, and secretly sold tea eggs behind her husband's back to do some small business.

When they got married in 1999, they simply got the marriage certificate because of the lack of money, which was close to "naked marriage". For this reason, Guo Jingyu is very guilty to his wife.

Character evaluation

Every industry has some habitual thinking which is regarded as common sense to identify, but there are always others who use facts to prove that it is a false proposition. Guo Jingyu, the "king of legendary drama", is a counter attack faction in the TV drama circle. His plays are unique and play a beautiful battle against the traditional operation mode, which also makes people face up to the new mode of current TV drama. (review of contemporary life)

Guo Jingyu is known as the "king of legendary dramas" because his dramas, which are directed and written by him, inherit the essence of traditional Chinese storytelling and cultural context. (Qilu online review)

Zhang Shaohua's appreciation of Guo Jingyu can be said to be beyond words, and even put up his thumb to emphasize: "Guo Jingyu is indeed the pride of Chengde!" Recalling the process of their cooperation, Zhang Shaohua said frankly: "Guo Jingyu and I are really good friends who forget our age. I don't have to play other people's plays, but as long as it's Guo's, I have to join them!" (comments by Zhang Shaohua)

Character controversy

On December 13, 2014, director and screenwriter Guo Jingyu accused Hunan Economic TV of changing the name of its TV play "brave heart" to "hero of brave heart in troubled times" on Weibo, saying that he would be investigated for legal responsibility.

Guo Jingyu said: "the contract approved by our company does not allow Guitai to change its title. What is this? If there is "what a mess" during the broadcast, our company will investigate the legal responsibility of @ Hunan Economic TV! Great State Administration of radio, film and television, this platform changes the title all the year round, ignoring the creator's intellectual property rights, asking for insight! "
