A few years ago, Zhang Hanyu, a guest of "Everyday Upward", once said on the show: "In fact, according to strict standards, those works that are not dubbed or spoken by themselves do not meet the conditions for participating in awards such as the Golden Rooster Award or the Hundred Flowers Award." His rhetoric is relatively tactful, but it also shows his respect for acting.
In the current film and television drama industry, acting skills and line skills no longer seem to be the most important factors. As long as you are good-looking, you will have the opportunity to star, and sometimes even looks are not necessary, as long as you have enough attention and marketing packaging, you will have a chance to appear on the screen.
As an actor who started out as a dubbing actor, Zhang Hanyu later transformed into a tough guy actor and did not accept this trend very well. However, he can only focus on his acting work and stick to the dignity of an actor.
Zhang Hanyu used to be a voice actor, but instead of dubbing TV dramas such as idol dramas, he dubbed cartoons and translated films imported from abroad. The Monkey King we are familiar with, the military advisor in Mulan, and Mickey Mouse Donald Duck are all characters voiced by Zhang Hanyu.
Zhang Hanyu has been different from other children since he was a child, they like to play games, but he likes to go home and dub it himself. When he was in high school, Zhang Hanyu began to send his dubbing clips to the dubbing team of ** TV station.
As a result, Zhang Hanyu has become a highly recognized professional voice actor. During his years as a voice actor, he dubbed a number of productions. At the same time, Zhang Hanyu was also successfully admitted to the acting major of ** Drama Academy.
Zhang Hanyu excelled both in his career and academics, but after graduation, he still decided to stick to his passion and continue to work as a voice actor.
However, with the continuous development of the times, the dubbing industry has gradually become commercialized, and many voice actors do dubbing just to complete the task, and few people are willing to take the time to go deep into the hearts of the characters and integrate themselves into the characters they are dubbing.
Zhang Hanyu is a person who is deeply influenced by idealism, and faced with this situation, he made the decision to leave and chose to return to his profession - acting in theater. Although he has no acting experience before, he is also a little connected in the entertainment industry. So, he began his career as a trickster.
36-year-old Zhang Hanyu starred in his first work "Where Dreams Begin", and then he was recommended by his friend Fu Biao to be introduced to Feng Xiaogang and played some small roles in Feng Xiaogang's films.
When Zhang Hanyu plays these roles, he usually has only a few lines of dialogue, and sometimes he doesn't even have a name, but he still performs very seriously. In this way, Zhang Hanyu has gone from young adulthood to middle age, and he is still an unknown young actor.
Everyone around him felt sorry for him, especially his parents, who thought that he shouldn't have been engaged in voice acting in the first place, and as a result, he was delayed for so many years, resulting in nothing by the time he reached middle age. However, Zhang Hanyu is not anxious, he believes that every stage of life has its meaning of existence, and the things he has experienced are definitely not worthless.
In 2006, 43-year-old Zhang Hanyu was in the prime of life, and the movie "Assembly" directed by Feng Xiaogang was entering the final stage of preparation, but the role of the actor Maizi has not been determined. Feng Xiaogang was in a hurry, and Zhang Hanyu was also restless, and in the end, he couldn't suppress the anxiety in his heart and recommended himself to Feng Xiaogang.
Feng Xiaogang hesitated. This commercial film is a big production and big investment, so the box office must be considered in the casting. Zhang Hanyu, as a leading actor who has never played a leading role in a big production, can he take on the box office pressure?
In the end, filmmaker Wang Zhongjun finally made a decision and agreed to Zhang Hanyu's request for self-recommendation, while Feng Xiaogang expressed his support before that.
The film received unanimous praise after its release in 2008, and Zhang Hanyu's character perfectly showed the tough guy image of the male lead, coupled with his excellent acting skills, making "The Assembly" the biggest success of the year.
This movie won Zhang Hanyu the Hundred Flowers Award, the Golden Horse Award and the Huading Award for Best Actor, and he deserved it. Winning three such heavyweight actor awards, such an honor is rare and incomparable.
Compared with Liu Ye, who won the Golden Horse Award at the age of 23, Zhang Hanyu's success can be described as a typical case of late blooming, and he did not win the actor award until he was 45 years old.
However, he was at peace with everything, and then embarked on an award-winning journey, starring in films such as "The Wind" and "Outwitting Tiger Mountain", which won him more honors.
Zhang Hanyu only began to create the image of a tough guy in his 40s, and now he is close to 60 years old, but people still lament why he does not look old and maintains his consistent demeanor. Perhaps out of respect for his career, he always maintains his best condition, and even at the age of 60, he can always show excellent performances.
However, Zhang Hanyu is also quite distressed by his own image, because he has almost no chance to act in emotional dramas, and he even laughed at himself and said that perhaps his image made the director not consider arranging him to participate in emotional dramas at all. However, the regret on the screen did not affect his life, because Zhang Hanyu has a happy family.
Zhang Hanyu rarely makes his love life public, everyone only knows that he has a beautiful wife and a lovely daughter. For so many years, he has treated acting as a job, never using scandals to hype, nor deliberately showing a compelling family life. He just silently fulfilled his responsibilities as a husband and father.
Now, Zhang Hanyu's daughter has grown up, and when he was asked about his daughter, he immediately showed his tender side. However, as her daughter grew up, she also began to become rebellious, saying that she loved singing and wanted to become a singer in the future.
His father, Zhang Hanyu, was very troubled by this problem. He thinks the entertainment industry is a tricky place and doesn't want his daughter to get involved. But as a loving father, he is unwilling to restrain his daughter's dreams, so he is in a dilemma.
Zhang Hanyu's latest film "Moscow Action" has been completed, and he once again showed wonderful acting skills in this movie. Looking forward to the release of this movie, and also looking forward to Zhang Hanyu bringing us more excellent works.
