He played the flamboyant Jiang Xiaoyu in "Fire Blue Blade", and in "Dog Stick", he was the hot-blooded Ma Jiujin who fought against the devil. In addition, in "Iron Pear Flower", he played the role of Adjutant Zhang, who is loved and hated.
Some people think that his acting skills are very good, and he can be called a first-class powerful actor; Others believe that he is a "relation" who has succeeded in the entertainment industry by virtue of his family background, and he can become popular thanks to the support of his brother Guo Jingyu.
His unique way of interpreting his lines made the audience remember it, and of course, some people felt that he spoke stiffly, like a child reading a newspaper.
Yang Zhigang is such a controversial actor.
He has a special requirement when filming, that is, to be able to appear in the crew with his wife and son, what is this for?
When he was a child, Yang Zhigang always thought about a question: Who is Guo Xiaosi?
Whenever he played with a few cousins, the neighbors around him always called him "Guo Xiaosi" with strange expressions.
Yang Zhigang asked his parents in confusion: "Why do they call me Guo Xiaosi?" ”
The child grew up, and his parents finally couldn't hide his background, so they confessed the truth to him.
They turned out to be Yang Zhigang's uncle and aunt, when he was born, the family was poor, and his mother was sick and could not take care of herself, so she had to give the child to her childless brother to raise.
After Yang Zhigang learned the reason, he suddenly realized why his cousins took such good care of him! It turned out that they were his own brothers.
His heart was actually full of confusion and sadness, why did my parents send me away? Is it because I did something wrong?
Yang Zhigang's sensitivity and delicacy were formed from an early age.
His family felt deeply guilty about him, so they doted on the youngest child. But after going to school, his grades were mediocre, which can be described as suffocating.
After learning of this, Yang Zhigang's eldest brother Guo Jingyu immediately rushed home, and he showed great love and care for this younger brother.
Guo Jingyu asked his brother if he was interested in pursuing the same career in art as he did, and Yang Zhigang's answer was very funny.
I can learn anything, I just don't like to learn.
Yang Zhigang was sent to a dance school to learn to dance, but he did not have a passion for dancing, and he did not devote himself to his daily training, but just lived in peace with what he encountered.
When he went to find his brother Guo Jingyu for dinner, he couldn't help but feel a trace of envy in his heart when he saw his brother commanding majestically in the crew.
He asked the third brother if he had the conditions to be a director now, and he received a negative answer.
Guo Jingyu saw his younger brother's handsome appearance, began to carefully plan for his future, and finally decided to let Yang Zhigang learn acting.
Yang Zhigang proved to have a certain talent in acting, and after a few months of study, he was successfully admitted to the Beijing Film Academy, which many people dream of, which proves his talent.
After Yang Zhigang was admitted to university, his life became like a fish in water, and he got the opportunity to play the leading role in the movie in his sophomore year, but unfortunately the film did not cause much sensation.
Yang Zhigang's college life was as calm as a lake for several years, until the appearance of a girl seemed to make waves on the surface of the lake, breaking the tranquility.
In the blink of an eye, Yang Zhigang is about to graduate.
I happened to meet a quiet and beautiful girl, and I plucked up the courage to go up and talk to her. After chatting for a few words, I found out that she was actually my elementary school girl.
Yang Zhigang was overjoyed, he found that the primary school girl was beautiful and moving, and he was even more fascinated by laughter.
After sending the schoolgirl back to the dormitory, Yang Zhigang eagerly asked his friend how to pursue the girl.
Under the guidance of several think tanks, he confidently launched the "Love Chasing Action".
Zhang Jing is a primary school girl whose main hobby is reading. In order to show that the two have similar interests, Yang Zhigang, who usually doesn't like to read much, also began to imitate her, picked up the book and began to read.
Driven by love, Yang Zhigang reluctantly obtained a graduation certificate.
He expects to receive acting opportunities after graduation and make money from filming to support himself and his girlfriend.
He was knocked down by the brutal blow of reality.
He did not receive any theatrical work for a whole year after graduation, so it can be said that he was unknown. Even the residence is in the house of his brother Guo Jingyu, living an idle life.
In order to allow his younger brother to find a good marriage partner smoothly, Guo Jingyu very generously gave the house to his younger brother to live in.
After Yang Zhigang realized the reality, he let himself go, sent his girlfriend to school every day, and then went home to play games, and didn't care about his career.
Zhang Jing was very indifferent to her boyfriend's attitude of not seeking progress, just silently accompanied him, and still let his girlfriend take the initiative to take the money as the living expenses of the two.
Yang Zhigang has been unemployed at home for three years, and has become a "soft rice man" who relies on his girlfriend to support him, living like this day after day.
Finally, one day, Yang Zhigang realized that he had a problem and asked his brother for help.
As a person who has a soft spot for his younger brother, how could Guo Jingyu refuse his younger brother's request? He did not hesitate to take Yang Zhigang to join the group, and gradually became the protagonist from the initial supporting role.
He gradually gained fame in acting with his performances, which improved his financial situation.
They got married in 2006.
After getting married, Yang Zhigang consciously handed over the salary card to his wife, and did not forget to tell her: "Spend as much as you want!" ”
Zhang Jing knew in her heart that it was not easy for her husband to earn money, so she put away her card and kept the house thriftily.
The couple's life is getting better and better, and they ushered in the crystallization of love - their lovely son Yang Xiaobao.
However, the good times did not last, and the unexpected soon struck.
Yang Zhigang returned to work not long after the baby was born, and he was busy returning to the crew. During the filming of a ** scene, there was an accident.
The safety measures were not up to the mark, and once the lighter was lit, the flames immediately rose into the sky and waves of air poured out.
The focus of this scene is on Yang Zhigang's performance, the rest of the crew is only slightly injured, and only he is covered in blood and taken to the hospital.
Guo Jingyu felt deep self-blame and regret, and when he saw his favorite brother becoming so miserable, he hurriedly called his younger brother and sister ** and prepared to go to the hospital.
As a result of this negligence, Yang Zhigang spent a whole day and night in the operating room of the hospital.
In the corridor, Guo Jingyu blamed himself, while Zhang Jing was carrying the child and burst into tears.
Yang Zhigang was in good health, but a devastating piece of news almost brought him down.
The face is so badly damaged that it is difficult to show even some small expressions, and for an actor, it is actually the end of his career path.
During Yang Zhigang**, Zhang Jing never gave up, not only taking care of his physical and emotional health, but also coping with his son who was waiting for breastfeeding, and the housework was very busy.
Yang Zhi's accident lasted a whole year, but recently his condition has begun to gradually improve.
In everyday life, he looks no different from ordinary people, but once he starts performing, his stiff expression can feel strange.
He once thought about quitting acting, but his brother Guo Jingyu always encouraged him, telling him that the key to acting is to bring the audience into the situation, not just rely on facial expressions.
After listening to his brother's persuasion, Yang Zhigang finally made up his mind to try again!
Yang Zhigang became famous in one fell swoop because of "Iron Pear Flower", and his reputation reached its peak, as the saying goes, if you don't die in a catastrophe, you will have a blessing!
Yang Zhigang's performance as an actor has mixed reviews from the audience, and many people bluntly say that he only relies on his brother's relationship to gain power and status, is this statement true?
Most of Yang's works were done by his brother Guo Jingyu, which became a reason for many to criticize him.
In fact, Yang Zhigang does not often take on other directors' plays, and there is a little anecdote.
He is going to take his wife and children to film together, and the whole family has to move to the filming location.
Many directors felt a headache when they heard this "ridiculous" request, and only his brother Guo Jingyu dared to accept it.
Theoretically speaking, the argument that Yang Zhigang became famous entirely on his brother is untenable, and in Guo Jingyu's dramas, he rarely plays the leading role.
Why don't you just invite the male number one of the subordinates to come, if you can really rely on your brother?
He is an actor, while his brother is a director. Does filming also have to be superstitious like "promoting the virtuous and avoiding relatives"? There is no justification for this.
Yang Zhigang has a director brother, who can indeed help him avoid many unnecessary hardships.
In 2022, Yang Zhigang made a stunning appearance with "Tales of the Tang Dynasty", bringing a visual feast to the audience and sweeping away the long-lost silence.
He used his strength to prove that the show has nothing to do with his brother.
There has been a polarization of good and bad reviews of word-of-mouth.
Since Yang Zhigang started filming, his reputation has been mixed.
To those whom he likes, they are especially fond of; And those who hate him can't tolerate it at all, so to speak, each with its own eyes.
Yang Zhigang's lines are considered very unique by some audiences, and when you close your eyes and listen to his lines, you can immediately recognize that he is acting, and his performance style perfectly matches Guo Jingyu's shooting method, the plot climaxes constantly, and the exaggerated lines can push the atmosphere to the extreme.
Some of the audience felt that he was more suitable for a stage play, because he seemed to be memorizing lines when he performed.
Yang Zhigang's performance on the variety show was criticized by the famous director Er Dongsheng as "uninnovative and too conventional".
I think it's this quality that allows the audience to distinguish other characters through their voices, and there are very few actors like this nowadays!
What is your impression of Yang Zhigang's performance?
