Chinese Scriptwriting for OTT Movie

GUO JING YU 郭靖宇 entered the Chengde drama troupe as an actor when he was only 18 years old, and began his path in the television and film industry. In 1994, Guo went to Beijing and started off working as a script supervisor. He became an executive director within two years. Following that, Guo studied and practice under the guidance of famous director Huang Jianzhong, and eventually became the independent director renowned for his high-quality script and directorial work. Guo has been honoured as one of the kings of China’s television drama that consistently delivers high performance ratings and award-winning television series. From “Iron Pear” 《铁梨 花》, “Red Lady” 《红娘子》, “Dog Stick” 《打狗棍》, “Brave Heart” 《勇敢的心》 to “Yangko Dance”《大秧歌》, these television series, directed by Guo, are not only legendary, but have all achieved dazzling performance ratings as well. Guo’s insistence on delivering with quality is the key to him becoming the “Legendary Drama Series King” 传奇剧王. In addition to adhering to the position of delivering his legendary drama of the year, insisting on writing the script and directing himself, Guo kept pace with the times and dabbled in other fields. In 2013, he took up the role of artistic director for the web series “The Ferry Man” 《灵魂摆渡》. In 2016, he acted as the producer of the new version of “Legend of the Condor Heroes” 《射雕英雄传》 and insisted on using new actors. In the current market environment, where star power rules most of the productions, Guo’s achievement in high performance ratings, while using new comers, gives the industry glimmers of hope, allowing more practitioners to see a clear direction. In 2018, Guo released 2 television blockbusters, “The Mother’s Life” 《娘道》 and “Perfect Youth” 《最美的青春》. “Brave Heart 2” 《勇敢的心 2》, “The Handsome Siblings” 《绝代双骄》were released in 2019 and “The Little Nyonya” 《小娘惹 》 in July 2020.
