After recently performing in Chengdu, Sichun Province, the 41-year-old told reporters he has entered the "most comfortable" stage of his career, but his ambitions have yet to stop growing.
Saying he is preparing to apply for a private broadcasting license in LA, so that xiangsheng and Deyun She skits (a xiangsheng performance theater established by Guo in 1995) can air on television.
The Tianjin native made a name for himself while performing xiangsheng, or cross-talk, at small theaters and teahouses.
In recent years, Guo has worked in a variety of markets other than performing arts, including opening his own restaurant and apparel shop.
He'd already tried to launch a broadcasting network in Australia but it was halted due to policy restrictions, so his friend suggested he consider the US market.
According to Guo, the idea is not "a small deal and nothing is certain" as of yet, but Deyun She may have its own broadcasting network in LA by the end of 2014.
