He is now recognized as an "acting textbook", but a few years ago, he was just a "nobody" actor on the Internet. Only he knew in his heart that he just lacked a chance to change his fate.
Of course, opportunities are always reserved for those who are prepared. Later, he was recognized by all the audience just because of one role. This lucky person is Zhang Songwen!
When asked how he felt about becoming popular after more than 20 years of debut, Zhang Songwen bluntly said that he did not feel pity, on the contrary, he thought he was lucky.
He was originally ready not to be excavated for thirty or forty years, but he didn't expect that he would stand in front of the audience in just 20 years.
After he became popular, he was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief and no longer worry that he would face the dilemma of having no drama to film. No matter where he goes, there are people surrounding him, and this situation makes people feel "too realistic".
However, the "actor" Huang Bo has long predicted Zhang Songwen's future ...... with one sentence
There are some similarities between Huang Bo and Zhang Songwen's experiences. When Huang Bo first stepped into the entertainment industry, his appearance was ridiculed by many people, which is quite similar to Zhang Songwen's experience.
In the entertainment industry, which is famous for "appearance is justice", Huang Bo can be said to have no chance to move forward.
With his excellent acting skills and solid talent, he gradually made a name for himself in the circle.
Although he has been repeatedly denied, belittled and ridiculed on the way forward, when he appeared on the stage and became an "actor", not only his career ushered in a turnaround, but the people around him also changed.
Huang Bo expressed this opinion in an interview: "In the past, in the crew, I could often meet all kinds of people and all kinds of careful thoughts. But now I'm surrounded by kind people, and everyone has a big smile on their face. ”
Zhang Songwen's situation is the same now, after he became popular, not only did he get more and more seats at the awards ceremony, but there were many people around him who wanted to talk to him.
The famous director Chen Kaige even saw Zhang Songwen at the Beijing Film Festival, and immediately pulled him over to talk a few words, while the "actress" Zhang Ziyi also had to back down when he saw him.
Once, Zhang Songwen did his best to play a role, even if his performance was wonderful and the director liked it, he may be replaced because his existence was not enough to ensure the ratings of the show, but now Zhang Songwen, even if he is only a guest star, will be given the title of "guest actor".
Zhang Songwen" These three names have become the standard for judging the quality of a drama, for example, "Ice Hunting" attracted a large number of viewers before it was broadcast, and they chose to follow the drama just to watch Zhang Songwen's performance.
Who would have thought that this powerful actor was still in the state of "nobody" two years ago?
Before Zhang Songwen was decided to become an actor, it can be said that he tried a variety of different jobs, but no matter what industry he was in, he always tried his best and worked hard.
He worked as a waiter and a printing factory worker, but his efforts were always appreciated by his superiors and he was promoted.
Later, he even tried his hand at working as a tour guide, and his excellence made him the "best tour guide" in the area. That year, his salary was more than 40 times the basic salary in the tour guide industry.
Although Zhang Songwen feels relaxed in any job, he always believes that this is not his ultimate career destination, and he still has a dream of directing in his heart.
After he started to earn a certain income, he came up with the idea of trying new things, so he applied for film school to study acting. Although he was already much older than his peers at that time, Zhang Songwen didn't care about it.
He also has a friend at that time, named Zhou Yiwei, who is also an actor who is very popular with the audience now, and he is the husband of the host Zhu Dan.
Zhou Yiwei and Zhang Songwen have formed a deep friendship on campus, and they have put great effort into acting. In particular, Zhang Songwen, although he is older than his peers, is more mature in his thinking.
Sometimes, in the rehearsal of the drama, there will be roles that some classmates are unwilling to play, and at this time Zhang Songwen always took the initiative to stand up.
At that time, both of them were highly appreciated by the school's teachers, and the students of the same class also agreed that Zhang Songwen had a bright future after graduation.
Zhang Songwen did not have any drama work for three years after graduation, which made him feel that the past days were unbearable. In just two years, he was rejected nearly 600 times.
He was rejected more than 700 of the 365 days of the year and suffered nearly 600 times a day of not being recognized.
The most memorable time with me was going to an interview with my good friend Zhou Yiwei, when the crew and the investor were talking, and Zhou Yiwei and Zhang Songwen, who suddenly came in to audition, became the laughing stock in their conversation.
The director said directly at the scene: "The people I just said are not naturally suitable for acting, just like the two of them", the reason is because the director thinks that Zhang Songwen is too short and looks like a "dwarf", so he hasn't watched them act.
Therefore, no matter how strong Zhang Songwen's strength is and how good his performance is, he will be rejected by some directors because of his lack of "eyesight".
If this blow had happened to other actors, it is likely that they would have been unable to hold on long ago and would have looked for other jobs. But Zhang Songwen is different, he still sticks to himself, even if he can't play a good role, he is willing to start from a "poor" start.
As long as he knows which crew has no roles that anyone wants to play, he will compete to play them, and as a result, every role is performed very expressively in his hands.
Although Zhang Songwen only achieved great success more than 20 years after his debut, he never took any of the roles he played lightly. Each of his roles can give people a feeling of "not like acting, like real".
In "Hurricane", the audience was full of praise for the performance of An Xin played by Zhang Yi, whether it was lines, actions or expressions, he showed very professional acting skills, which can be called a professional in the entertainment industry.
When the camera focused on "Gao Qiqiang" played by Zhang Songwen, he seemed to have really become that character, integrated into the whole scene, showing a completely different nature from real life, performing without a trace, and his acting skills were as natural as breathing.
His acting skills are impeccable, Zhang Songwen is still deeply rooted in the hearts of the people because of the popularity of "Hurricane", which is even more because of his conduct.
There was a gift exchange session on "Weibo Night", remember? After Zhang Songwen knew, he carefully prepared the purple bamboo literary toys that he made little by little from cutting to polishing.
He received a doll brooch of no more than 10 pieces, but he did not show any displeasure, but sincerely thanked the friend who prepared the gift.
Zhang Songwen, whether acting or being a person, is worthy of our admiration and learning, especially his high emotional intelligence speech not only directly blocked the black material attack on the artist.
If a fan confides in him on Weibo about the recent sad things, he said that he may have to find someone to marry casually, and there will never be a happy time in the future.
This netizen may be comforted by many people and tell her not to be sad or something, but Zhang Songwen chose to give an example to illustrate that if he can't change the status quo, it means that the future will be better.
Although he could not provide practical help, Zhang Songwen's words directly inspired netizens to have new expectations for the future.
In what Zhang Songwen said, we can truly feel the power of words, even if it is just a short sentence, it is enough to become the force to lead people forward.
Zhang Songwen's current popularity is not accidental, but the result of his steady and steady step by step. Unlike some actors, he doesn't just because one role becomes popular and there are no other amazing roles.
His professional abilities have made him a good actor who "plays whom", and his character has helped him achieve long-term success, and not only that, but he will continue to present more excellent roles for the audience to enjoy.
Zhang Songwen's experience is as Huang Bo said: "When you become famous, you are surrounded by good people", he has a more powerful ability, although he suffered bad words before becoming famous, but these experiences have become the basis for him to become a better "Zhang Songwen".
