essential information

Personal experience

When it comes to comedian Shi Guoqing, the name and people may not match each other, but the mention of "Wang Mudu" is almost a household name in China. People will immediately think of that silly, pitiful and lovely Shaanxi man who has a dull manner, speaks a very hard spoken Shaanxi dialect, and behaves wisely and muddleheaded, kind and selfish.

Shi Guoqing was an associate professor at the audio-visual education center of Northwestern University, and later transferred to the Xi'an Theatre Institute for research and creation. At present, he is vice chairman of Shaanxi provincial and Xi'an Municipal music associations, director of national music associations, member of Xi'an Federation of literary and art circles, and has created and performed more than 30 sketches, which are broadcast by Shaanxi TV and CCTV.

Song of Wang Mudu, the songwriter and singer is Shi Guoqing. Maybe you are a little strange to the name of Shi Guoqing, but I believe you will be very familiar with Wang Mudu in Shaanxi one-man drama.

Main achievements

Shaanxi Unicorn Opera

In the 1980s, a new form of Quyi appeared in Shaanxi. It combines the characteristics of stand up crosstalk, story and drama, and uses the characters' language and actions to promote the development of the plot. Because the program is performed by one person, this form of folk art is called Shaanxi one-man drama. Its founder is Shi Guoqing.

Shaanxi one-man opera has left a strong mark in the history of Chinese Quyi. However, Shi Guoqing's creation of one-man drama was purely accidental. That was in 1979. One day, Shi Guoqing received a task. The leader asked him to create a program to represent the unit to participate in the national staff art performance.

Shi Guoqing wrote and performed a program to participate in the city's trials. In the program, he designed three vivid characters, each speaking different dialects. In addition, Shi Guoqing also worked hard on the name of the hero.

Shi Guoqing's first one-man drama "Qinqiang song and dance and divorce" passed the test all the way, and finally took part in the national staff art performance and won the first place. Since then, Shi Guoqing created a series of one-man dramas with Wang Mudu as the protagonist. Wang Mudu has become a well-known stage image, but people gradually forget the performer's real name is Shi Guoqing.

Shi Guoqing has achieved success in the creation and performance of one-man plays. However, he is not a professional artist himself. At that time, he was a teacher in the Chemical Engineering Department of Northwestern University. Many people wonder how they can create such excellent literary and artistic programs when they are engaged in a major different from art? In fact, Shi Guoqing had a talent and talent for editing and acting since he was a child.

The frustrations of performance

Although he has been fond of acting since childhood, his family has not given him much space for free development. When taking the university entrance examination, Shi Guoqing, who is eager to learn literature, has to comply with his father's wishes.

In the University, Shi Guoqing is the backbone of the school's literature and art, and has been serving as the Minister of culture and sports of the student union. When he graduated, Shi Guoqing, who is good at both character and learning, stayed in school to be a teacher. After work, he is still keen to participate in various literary and artistic activities of the school. His father didn't interfere too much in Shi Guoqing's behavior during this period. Unexpectedly, Shi Guoqing later made more noise.

In my father's opinion, a university teacher's acting is just not doing his job. Shi Guoqing was stopped by his father, and even his lover Wang Yali was blamed by his father-in-law.

Character relationship

On the stage, Shi Guoqing creates a charming and funny Wang Mudu. In his life, he is also very humorous and funny.

After marriage, Wang Yali often learned her husband's humor. Even in the era of material poverty, the atmosphere of the family was always relaxed and happy.

Wang Yali and Shi Guoqing are college classmates. They have deep feelings from acquaintance, love to marriage and birth. Shi Guoqing is busy with his creation and performance, and he seldom manages his family's affairs, while Wang Yali undertakes most of the housework and silently supports her husband behind his back.

As the saying goes, big trees attract wind. Shi Guoqing is famous. Inevitably, his family life has also been discussed by some people. Although it makes people laugh and cry, the couple always take it easy.

The harmonious and happy family relationship enables Shi Guoqing to devote himself to the creation of one-man drama. In the process of creation, he experiences a kind of pleasure that outsiders can't experience.

Alone, Shi Guoqing broke into the world of Shaanxi one-man drama on the stage of Quyi, but it was extremely gorgeous and plain. Ten years later, his monologue creation fell into a low ebb.

Shi Guoqing abandoned the image of Wang Mudu, which he had created for ten years, and turned to the creation and performance of comedy sketches. On the stage of comedy sketch, Shi Guoqing's talent and wisdom show again.

In the creation and performance of sketches at the same time, Shi Guoqing also involved in film and television performances. His rich stage experience helps him create characters in films and TV plays. He has successively participated in the performances of "living treasure", "invisible doctor" and other films, as well as TV dramas such as "people go to heights", "Xi'an tiger home", and each time he plays, he has a good performance.

It's a pity that Shi Guoqing failed to achieve the brilliance of the period of monologue, no matter on the stage of sketch or in the field of film and television. However, his mentality is very peaceful. Compared with success or failure, he values more his life experience since he was engaged in creation and performance.
