Fan Zhiyi became popular in an unexpected way at the age of 54.
The TV series "Flowers" ended last night, and Fan Zhiyi, the former captain of the national football team known as "General Fan" and a famous Chinese player, made a cameo appearance in the role of "Director Fan" in the play, and his acting skills soared, which ushered in a lot of praise from the outside world. The hit of "Flowers" has made Fan Zhiyi's interview invitations constant, and some people even think that he should take advantage of the trend to enter the showbiz. In fact, he is the person who knows himself in the world, and in and out of the play, Fan Zhiyi has always been "acting in his true colors".
"Fan Zhiyi is my idol".
Fan Zhiyi, who was born in 1969, may never have thought that he would become popular because of his guest appearance in a TV series - in "Flowers", Fan Zhiyi's factory director "Lao Fan" and Tang Yan's "Miss Wang" staged a wonderful rivalry. In this scene, his accent, body movements, and expression are quite in place.
Fan Zhiyi recently revealed in an interview that he was very conflicted when he received Wong Kar-wai's invitation: "He looked for me several times, and I refused several times. In the end, under the persuasion of his wife, he decided to act. "My wife said to me, you try it, director Wong Kar-wai has always been the best in this circle, such a 'big-name' director invites you to act, and it is not good to refuse others, and finally I decided to give it a try, I didn't expect it to have such an effect now. ”
Blossoming Flowers is a feature** by Jin Yucheng, published in Harvest in 2012. There are 14 character introductions listed in the character list of the entry "Flowers", and "Director Fan" or "Master Fan" are not among them. But this small role became popular all of a sudden, because of the reality, and the contrast between film and television dramas and reality.
In a rivalry with "Miss Wang", "Director Fan" said seriously "Fan Zhiyi is my idol", which is a strong manifestation of comedic conflict, no wonder Wong Kar-wai repeatedly emphasized when inviting Fan Zhiyi, "This role is yours".
Interestingly, many people think that Fan Zhiyi, who "starred in his true colors", "must be a pass" on the set, but this is not the case. Fan Zhiyi posted a shooting tidbit on Douyin, **showing a line Fan Zhiyi ng many times, repeatedly holding the line and reading it many times before passing the test.
"If you continue like this, you won't want to face it."
As Fan Zhiyi's mentor, Xu Genbao also commented on his acting skills: "Xiao Fan acted very well, and the role of the factory director is just in line with Fan Zhiyi's character." The plot has a scene where he trains people, which is the same as being a football coach, to educate the players and even criticize the players, especially when he is angry. His character just plays this role, and if he really lets him play gentle, it may not work, and the audience may not be able to accept it. ”
This is indeed consistent with the image of Fan Zhiyi in the eyes of most people, and the most typical argument is the sentence "I don't want my face".
In 2013, in an international friendly match, the national football team playing at home lost 1:5 to the Thai team with a semi-main lineup. "(Chinese football) don't want to face it anymore! Fan Zhiyi opened directly with a Shanghai accent, and almost all his emotions hung on his face. This phrase is still often mentioned today as a famous football meme.
"Always upset and unwilling".
In the era of the rise of various online variety shows, he is also willing to frequently cross borders to continue to show his outspoken side to the public. In recent years, Fan Zhiyi has repeatedly "crossed borders", whether it is in talk shows or variety shows, the audience can often capture Fan Zhiyi's figure.
In March 2021, he participated in "Tucao Conference", which can be regarded as Fan Zhiyi's cross-border debut. In the show, Fan Zhiyi speaks Shanghai Mandarin, "full firepower", and there are "stalks" every few seconds. There is a 10-minute "output" for basketball players Zhou Qi and Guo Allen, and every sentence directly refers to the scars of the men's basketball team.
In the past 2023, he participated in the travel reality show "Hahahahaha", in which Fan Zhiyi gave full play to his personal characteristics - both truthful and upright, sometimes surprisingly happy, and at the same time self-deprecating, showing an approachable side. In the show, his call with his daughter once rushed to the hot search - in the face of his daughter's ** crying to him about his emotional problems, Fan Zhiyi calmly gave analysis and solutions, showing high emotional intelligence, even Deng Chao was greatly impressed.
Many people believe that with a strong sense of variety shows and the ability to perform in place, Fan Zhiyi may start the second spring of his career. But because of this, it is asserted that Fan Zhiyi has found his own acting track and unlocked his own traffic password? It seems premature.
In an interview, Fan Zhiyi also said that he has no plans to film in the future, "I have never cared about this matter (on the hot search), because from my heart, whether it is playing football or doing other work, there are only two words: serious." Because I am not from this platform (filming) after all, my own platform is actually very clear to everyone, and I have a kind of affection for football that I can't let go of. ”
In the 1995 Shanghai Shenhua vs Sichuan Quanxing match, Fan Zhiyi's flying leap and header became one of the most classic goals in the history of the A.
Now, Fan Zhiyi's identity is still the vice chairman of the Shanghai Football Association. Fan Zhiyi said: "I have too many familiar things about my stage and platform, and I am always upset and unwilling. ”
