Day and night, my eyes and heart were torn apart.
You feel deep sadness and anger from getting drunk again and again.
The wind was bitterly cold, and the rain was bitterly cold. There were tears in my eyes.
Drink a thousand glasses of bitter wine. atone for your sins".
Wang Xinping's song "Who is in the Dream" was selected as the first theme song of the TV show "I Have a Date with a Zombie", and with the popularity of this drama, many people are familiar with it.
I still clearly remember that in the TV series of Phoenix Satellite TV**, Wang Zhenzhen played by Yang Gongru and Takeshi Yamamoto met crucially. For some reason, I had to move and I couldn't continue**. But years later, when I entered college and had my own notebook, I finally finished filming the show.
ATV has previously successfully completed the filming of two TV series "Zombie Road Chief" and achieved quite good results. He became deeply interested in the story "I Have a Date with a Zombie", so he sent a large team of screenwriters to carefully polish and improve the script.
In the mid-90s of the 20th century, many ATV artists chose wireless as their new home, and despite ATV's lack of manpower, they showed sincere determination to participate in the TV series. Wan Tianzhao, Wan Qiwen, Yang Gongru, Chen Qitai, and many other handsome men and beautiful ladies participated in the event.
After unremitting hard work and perseverance, "I Have a Date with a Zombie" was an unprecedented success after its premiere in 1998. Seeing this scene, they started the filming of the second part again, and continued to maintain the high quality of the first part, which was well received by the audience in terms of ratings and word-of-mouth.
In the third installment, released in 2004, the quality of the production was significantly inferior to the past, and the audience responded accordingly.
Now, the show has been on the air for 24 years, so how have the actors in the show lived during these years?
Yin Tianzhao plays the image of Guo Tianyou.
Yin Tianzhao was born in 1964 in Dongguan City, Guangdong Province. Yin Tianzhao lived in poverty since she was a child, but at the age of 18, she successfully entered the ATV artist training class, and stepped into ATV after graduation and embarked on her acting career.
In the 80s of the 20th century, he mainly played supporting roles with fewer scenes in TV dramas, such as playing Wu Zetian's son Li Xian in "Wu Zetian", and playing the younger brother of Qin Wang Yingzheng Cheng Chan in "Qin Shi Huang".
In the 90s, he starred in TV series such as "The Crane Needle" and "The Godfather of China" began to leave a deep impression on the hearts of the audience.
Until 1993, he co-starred with Xu Shaoqiang and Cai Xiaoyi in the costume martial arts TV series "The Silkworm Transforms into a Peerless Master", in which he played a young man who gradually grew from a peerless master to a peerless master.
Although Yin Tianzhao's performance is quite good, she has not received the attention she deserves, and she has starred in many TV series such as "Jingwumen", "I Have a Date with Spring" and "Sword Roaring Jianghu", but she is still only a supporting role.
With the departure of many artists of ATV, Yin Tianzhao, who has been sticking to ATV, finally ushered in a rare opportunity. In "I Have a Date with a Zombie", he plays the second-generation zombie Guo Tianyou, who makes a living by drinking expired plasma from the hospital and is resolutely unwilling to go out and hurt others. The entanglement between him and the zombies also became a legend. When longtime rival Kazuo Yamamoto arrives in Hong Kong 60 years ago, the peaceful life is shattered, triggering a complex series of grievances.
With his years of profound experience, Yin Tianzhao brilliantly demonstrated the difficulties experienced by Guo Tianyou, his irresistible emotions, his resolute determination and the courage to move forward. From his face full of personality, you can see his persistence and persistence in life, and you can also feel the confidence and optimism exuded by him. After many years of artistic career, he finally reached the pinnacle of his career when he was 34 years old.
After Yin Tianzhao became famous, he was fortunate to participate in many films such as "Corpse Breath", "Dragon on the Edge" and "Dangerous Corner".
After completing the filming of "I Have a Date with a Zombie 3", Yin Tianzhao decided to leave ATV and go to the mainland for filming instead. Hu Tiefeng played the role of the villain in the costume drama "The Great Situation of the North and the South", and in the detective drama "New Detective Alliance", he played the role of the murderer Wu Tian and other roles.

During the production of the movie "I Have a Date with a Zombie III", Wan Qiwen was injured due to the accidental filming of the scene Diaoweiya, which caused her to suffer from sciatica, but she has not been completely **, so her acting career had to be suspended.
