In 2003, Zhang Ting became famous with the drama "Pink Girl" and won the love of more and more audiences.
While Zhang Yan's career is thriving, he is also facing the dilemma of imprisonment.
Although she obviously has excellent looks and acting skills, she has never been able to get rid of the image of being called a "man's wife".
It wasn't until 2014, when "Parents' Love" became popular, that Zhang Ting became popular again.
The audience was surprised to find that the once firm image of a "man's wife" actually had another look.
Although An Xin, the audience's beloved character, is not the protagonist, she plays an indispensable role in the plot.
In the play, An Xin can be described as an authentic aristocratic lady.
Although she was born in a prestigious family, she is not arrogant and presumptuous, but cultivates both inside and outside, and is low-key.
Under the nourishment of poetry and books, An Xin cultivated the confidence of both internal and external, and learned to face gains and losses calmly.
An Xin is loved and praised by the audience, and it is actually the best recognition of Zhang Yan.
However, no one thought that the director did not approve of Zhang Yan at first.
Why did the director change his mind?
How is Zhang Yan's life now?
Zhang Yan was born in 1970 to a working-class family in Xi'an, the son of a veteran who fought in the Korean War.
Unfortunately, when Zhang Yan went to college, his father died of illness.
Zhang Yan also deeply regretted this in his heart.
Zhang Yan's family has a total of 3 children, and although there are many children, there has never been a lack of communication and education between her parents and them.
When Zhang Yan was very young, his parents began to actively guide and cultivate his hobbies, hoping that he would be able to grow in the future.
At this time, the young Zhang Yan also developed a love for dance.
Although the family was not very wealthy, the parents fully supported their daughter's interests.
It took Zhang Yan more than ten years to become a dancer.
Zhang Yan was admitted to the Guangzhou Dance School in 1987 at the age of 17 with excellent grades.
Zhang Yan originally studied ballet, but because she was 1.72 meters tall, it was difficult to find a suitable dance partner, so she had to make a realistic choice and join a modern dance class to learn modern dance instead.
As a result, Zhang Yan became one of the first modern dancers in mainland China to receive professional studies.
In 1990, the second "Beauty in the City of Flowers" beauty contest was held as scheduled, and Zhang Yan was encouraged by his classmates and friends to participate in the beauty contest that year during his study in Guangzhou.
Originally, he only participated tentatively, but he didn't expect Zhang Yan to win the beauty pageant championship of the year in one fell swoop.
In June 1991, Zhang Yan graduated from Guangzhou Dance Academy. Like most young people, he was confused about his future.
The Guangdong Experimental Modern Dance Company was recruiting new members, and Zhang Yan happened to meet the professional requirements, so he participated in the interview.
With his solid dancing skills and outstanding appearance, Zhang Yanshun has undoubtedly integrated into the company.
However, the company's life was not as good as it could have been. In 1992, Hong Kong Television Broadcasting (TVB) opened an artist training course in the mainland for the first time.
Zhang Yan remembered that he had won the honor of winning the beauty pageant when he was studying, and an emotion arose in his heart.
Zhang Yan's resolute actions have been proven by facts.
Sign up for the training today.
Zhang Yan successfully graduated from the self-training class in 1993, and then signed a cooperation agreement with TVB, and since then he has started his career as an actor.
Zhang Yan participated in "Catwalk Pretty Woman", "Racecourse Tycoon", "Bao Qingtian" and "Qing Palace Qishu Recording" during the TVB period, these films.
In the 1994 hit TV series "Laughing at the Storm", the role of Zhang Xiaolian and Gu Juji won the Best Couple Partner Award selected by TVB.
In 1996, Zhang Yan turned the focus of her career back to the mainland, and with the film "Don't Come to Me When You Get Divorced", she was nominated for Best Supporting Actress at the Golden Rooster Awards that year.
Zhang Yanjia's follow-up creations continued, including Qin Annie in "One Hundred Years of Ups and Downs", Liang Susu in "A Thousand Autumn Dreams of Home and Country", and "It's All Angels' Troubles".
The situation of red or not red is like a metaphysics, and no one can say why.
It wasn't until 2002 that the situation took a turn for the worse.
Zhang Yan filmed two dramas in succession during the year.
"Flying Knife Love" is one of the follow-up works that call itself "Xiao Li Flying Knife".
Pink Girl is a movie based on the manga of **Yong.
Mr. Gu Long's "Amorous Swordsman Ruthless Sword" has been revised 10 editions before this, and the 1999 Taiwan version is even more highly regarded.
Playing the role of Lin Shiyin is Xiao Qiang, known as "Taiwan's No. 1 Beauty".
For Zhang, taking on such a role obviously brings a lot of pressure.
Objectively speaking, it can be said that Zhang Yanchang is very beautiful and has a unique temperament.
However, the plot and the makeup of the characters did come under criticism at the time.
As soon as this version of "Flying Knife Love" was released, the fluffy instant noodle head and the plot of the magic change attracted a lot of criticism.
Personally, I think the most critical thing is that the timing of the release of this TV series is not quite right.
Flying Knife Inquiry was first broadcast in Chinese mainland in 2003.
Pink Girl was also released in the mainland that year and became a hit at a surprising rate.
Lin Shiyin: "This weak and cold woman sparked a spark with the "man's wife".
I saw a meme on the Internet: "It's really unbearable to look at directly".
I'm afraid Zhang Yan didn't expect that he would be cornered by himself.
Although Lin Shiyin's Zhang Yan version was complained about, it was not liked by the audience at the time.
Zhang Yan became famous in one fell swoop with the role of He Runan, the capable and chic "man's wife" in the play.
While Zhang Yan's career is developing smoothly, he also meets his own love.
Zhang Yan's husband is none other than Hong Kong's host and actor Zhang Jincheng.
They met because they participated in the program "Walking Around China" in 1996.
Both were pursuing careers at the time, so they didn't have a deep friendship with each other.
As the saying goes, what is destined will eventually belong to you, and it is in vain to grab what is not destined.
The two actors met again in 2000, when they were filming in Hengdian.
It is undoubtedly a pleasant thing to meet someone you know in the past in a foreign country.
They began to date and chat, and gradually developed a good feeling for each other.
However, the breakthrough that really drove the development of the relationship between the two dates back to the filming of "Pink Girl".
At that time, because Zhang Yan's agent could not continue to take care of Zhang Yan for other reasons, Zhang Jincheng resolutely recommended himself to serve as Zhang Yan's agent after learning of the situation.
Zhang Jincheng was very attentive in the process of working as an agent and arranged all the work in an orderly manner.
Zhang Yan also took all of this.
Despite the agent's opposition, Zhang Yan still decided to start a relationship with Zhang Jincheng, because the "man's wife" became an instant hit.
They married in Hong Kong in 2004.
Their baby daughter was born in 2005.
The child weighs only 289 kg, which falls into the category of mild underweight.
Zhang Yan, as a novice mother, is also extremely worried about this.
Zhang Yan began to consciously downplay his attention to the entertainment industry.
It was not until 2009 that work was resumed.
In the first year of his comeback, Zhang Yan participated in the filming of the movie "Golden Wedding" directed by Zheng Xiaolong.
The director also praised her role Ma Lili.
Zhang Yan was originally a little nervous, but now he gradually relaxed.
After that, Zhang Yanlu successively filmed films such as "Dawn of the Decisive Battle" and "My Three Mothers".
My Three Mothers is based on a true story, polished and modified based on the editor's own experiences spent in 3 families as a teenager.
As a mother, Zhang Yan was deeply touched when she received this script, and in order to better restore the role, she tried to integrate various feelings into this role.
The show debuted on the Oriental Movie Channel in June 2010 and quickly achieved a top 11% rating as soon as it aired.
Despite this, Zhang Yan still can't change the deep-rooted impression in everyone's hearts.
This also bothered Zhang Yan very much.
It wasn't until 2012 that the situation finally took a turn for the better.
It is well known that actors have their own requirements for the script.
After Zhang Yan read the script of "Parents' Love", he became interested in An Xin in the play.
However, the director simply rejected her neatly.
In middle age, it is often said that it is inevitable that you will start to gain weight.
Even female celebrities are no exception.
Therefore, Zhang Yan was a little plump at that time, and his overall image was not very ideal.
The director is reluctant to give Zhang Yan, a woman like everyone's girlfriend, An Xin, no matter what he says.
The director underestimated the persistence of the Pisces woman and also underestimated Zhang Yan's stubbornness, which is obvious.
In order to win this role, Zhang Yan successfully lost twenty pounds of weight in a very short period of time.
In order to show her true emotions on the stage, Zhang Yan repeatedly read An Xin's life and deeply figured out her psychological state.
The director finally chose Zhang Yan to play the role of An Xin, which proved to be a fortunate decision.
Although An Xin is not the protagonist, she has a brilliance that surpasses the protagonist.
Mei Ting's heroine An Jie shows calmness and inner abundance, which is far from what the original character has.
This quality is even more scarce these days.
Zhang Yan continues to be active on the TV screen.
Zhang Yan successfully broke the audience's inherent cognition with his own strength, and at the same time got rid of the label on his body.
She is now not only a strong woman, but also An Xin.
She is not only a powerful actor, but also Zhang Yan.
