Zhang Tong, on the surface, has infinite scenery, but in fact hides many bitter stories that few people know.
Zhang Tong has always performed well in the process of growing up, and has achieved remarkable results.
Successfully being admitted to Nankai University is a very important thing for college entrance examination candidates.
At this pace, he has the potential to become a successful white-collar elite.
However, he did not follow the usual path.
Since I have no interest in computers.
He decided to drop out of school before his freshman year was finished and devote himself to acting.
He gave up a bright future, and his parents thought he was insane.
He is still stubborn.
However, he did not choose to apply for those well-known acting schools.
He lacks confidence in his appearance.
He didn't even have the courage to try to apply for schools like Chinese opera and Nortel.
He chose to study acting abroad.
However, the hardships of living abroad are unimaginable.
In a foreign country, there are strange faces all around.
However, the most intractable problem is the lack of funding.
Even the most basic subsistence is not maintained because there is no money.
In his most difficult moments, he even had to make do with **.
Despite this, his dream of studying abroad still did not come true.
Family status is restricted.
Zhang Tong has only studied acting courses for two years.
He returned to the country in '02.
This time, he understood the true meaning of life in the entertainment industry.
There is no social background and no interpersonal relationships.
Even if Zhang Tong has a great desire for performance, he can only start by doing tricks.
Because he is too tall.
It's the kind of person who even stands at the end of the trick.
Over the course of a year, he was snubbed and looked down upon.
However, he soon had a major opportunity.
Joined the crew of the movie "Wuji" directed by Chen Kaige.
Although he only played Zhang Dongjian's stand-in in the play.
Sometimes it is necessary to maintain a position for up to tens of minutes.
However, there was no chance to appear on the camera.
However, he still enjoyed the situation very much.
His efforts did not escape the eyes of the crew members.
Therefore, Zhang Tong was overjoyed.
He had the opportunity to make an appearance in the film.
Even if it's just an ordinary creep, only one sentence is spoken.
It's not a pleasant thing to look around for a play that can be filmed.
Zhang Tong was immersed in it.
He was given a role that would completely change his fate.
He managed to get the role of "Monk Wei" in "Bright Sword".
He made a name for himself in the entertainment industry for playing this role.
His career began to shine.
It is worth mentioning that this role was obtained through the means of "pit and abduction".
The reason why Monk Wei is still vulgar is because he used to be a Buddhist**.
A certain amount of martial arts skills is required.
He was heartbroken to see a man rejected for this.
He did not hesitate to say that he was good at martial arts.
For the sake of this lie, he had to redouble his efforts.
There are many scenes of horseback riding involved in Bright Sword.
Zhang Tong had never been in contact with him before.
In order not to cause trouble to the crew.
When he practiced his riding skills the side, he didn't have any role to play.
Bright Sword was a huge success, but he also faced new problems.
Monk Wei "is deeply loved by the people.
Zhang Tong received this kind of role.
He felt that as long as there was a scene to film, he was already very satisfied.
This also created an opportunity for Zhang Tong to get to know his lover.
I thought that life would gradually get better.
However, fate once again rushed into the abyss.
Zhang Tong received a brand new script in 2010.
This time the crew is really different.
This TV series is the director's ** work.
During the filming, he repeatedly abused Zhang Tong.
Do you have the ability to film?
The attitude of the staff has also changed.
The director particularly prominently shows pertinence.
The staff did not dare to offend the crew because of this.
Zhang Tong inadvertently became the "shadowless person" in the crew.
As soon as the shooting ended, he began to doubt himself.
Am I fit to perform?
He began to slowly doubt himself.
His heart was hurt.
His condition at home is very abnormal.
Kwan realized that the situation was not good.
She secretly looked up information online and consulted with a doctor.
A diagnosis was made.
Zhang Tong suffered from depression.
However, he was reluctant to see a psychiatrist.
In the end, it was only after the persuasion of his wife that he decided to go to the hospital.
It is a very difficult process for an actor to fight depression.
** Medications for depression often contain hormonal components.
Once, Zhang Tong's weight once exceeded more than 200 catties.
This is simply a fatal blow for the actor.
He felt reluctant to go out and socialize.
He even considered ending his own life.
He went through a three-year antidepressant journey and attempted suicide twice without success.
For the first time in many years, he regretted choosing the path of acting.
However, acting has become a part of him that he can't part with.
With his family and friends in the company, he eventually managed to get out of the situation.
He played a role in Breaking Bad.
This drama made him successfully ranked among the "Feitian Award for Best Actor".
He is the first actor born in the 80s to win the title of "Emperor of Vision".
However, he was in doubt for the award.
At the time, Breaking Bad was not a popular choice among several candidates.
The ratings are the most sluggish, and the same score is also the most bleak.
Therefore, it has aroused the suspicion of many netizens.
After going through hardships in the trough, Zhang Tong's heart began to become stronger.
This role was my best performance.
He is no longer susceptible to outside influences.
Afterwards, Zhang Tong continued to gallop on the performance stage.
In 2021, he was invited to play the role of "Mr. Li Dazhao" in "The Awakening Age".
Zhang Tong's heart collapsed, and he felt unbearable for this script.
He didn't believe he was capable of playing such a great role brilliantly.
However, the director's words calmed his heart.
You have to play the ideal Li Dazhao in your heart.
He began to think seriously.
After the TV series aired, he surprised everyone.
Unexpectedly, this is the former "Wei Monk".
He is widely praised for portraying Mr. "Li Dazhao" to life.
At the end of that year, the competition for various awards reached a climax.
Zhang Tong was not shortlisted for any awards, becoming one of the "regrets" in the hearts of all audiences.
He went through countless setbacks and grinds and eventually became a true actor.
And life is equally full of happiness.
Because of the play, he met his wife.
Together, they walked through the troughs and highs.
He now also tries to spend as much time as possible with his family.
From a 985 high-achieving student to a "scumbag" specializing in performance.
The experience of being excluded by the director gradually turned into a situation that was affirmed by the audience.
Zhang Tong's road is really difficult and tortuous.
He was lucky enough to achieve what he had once dreamed of.
Success can really be achieved through relentless hard work.
