The film and television circle is changing rapidly, and once it does not show its face, it may be forgotten by the audience.
Many of the stars who have been in the past have also relied on variety shows to successfully become popular.
For example, Zhao Wenzhuo, Chen Xiaochun, Yan Chengxu and other veteran actors, on the variety show not only consolidated their position, won more business opportunities, but also brought the audience a wave of memories to kill.
Nowadays, there is another actor on the variety show, so that the audience sighs "Ye Qinghui".
That is Zhang Weijian.
01，
In the "Chasing The Light Brother" variety show, 21 brothers gathered.
The entertainment industry is a vanity fair and a place to discuss seniority.
As soon as Zhang Weijian appeared, many juniors all stood up and welcomed his arrival.
The junior Liu even bowed at 90 degrees, and Sha Baoliang also bent down and got up, and hurriedly pushed Zhang Weijian to the "center position".
And said a word --
"If you don't sit (C bit), no one dares to sit."
It can be seen that although the 56-year-old Zhang Weijian has few works in recent years, he is still an old predecessor in the film and television circle.
Even if Wu Zhenyu was present, Zhang Weijian would not hesitate to let go.
Both are big names in the show, one is partial to movies and the other is partial to television.
The arrangement of the program group is also very flattering, allowing Zhang Weijian to appear in the middle, and letting Wu Zhenyu finalize, jointly supporting the highlights of the show.
02，
Zhang Weijian is also a very easy-going person.
Although he sat in the center seat, he did not take out his big brother style, but moved the chair to the position facing the other brothers.
Chatting, teasing, joking, no shelf.
His highlight moment works are a set of pictures given to him by movie fans, and every work from his debut to his appearance is recorded.
Looking back, Zhang Weijian is also a lot of idols and male gods after the 70s to 90s.
When it comes to him, many people's first reaction is "bald head".
I can't even remember what Zhang Weijian looked like when he had hair.
In fact, more than 20 years ago, he was also a handsome and sunny idol student.
He has hair.
In 1984, he participated in TVB's Rookie Singing Contest and won the Most Prominent Typhoon Award.
It went to the audience's field of vision.
From "Crazy Game" to "Happy Girl Ghost", from "Book of Swords and Vengeance" to "Rising Again".
Zhang Weijian has been a small role in GAG for 8 years.
Equivalent to a dragon set.
Until 1992, he co-starred with Lin Zhiying and Zhang Min in a comedy film "Truancy".
Started playing a leading role on the big screen.
In the 90s, he developed in the fields of movies, TV series, and songs, and was considered a multi-habitat artist.
His first solo album, True Or False, also won the award for the most promising newcomer in the top ten golden songs of the Chinese.
In Wang Jing's work "Super School Overlord", he plays the iron-faced and selfless judge Yu Tiexiong.
Witty and humorous, very comedic talent.
In this work, Jacky Cheung, Andy Lau, and Ren Dahua are all ranked behind him.
It's a sight to behold.
Wang Jing also highly praised him, and once issued an exclamation of "movie Zhou Xingchi, TV series Zhang Weijian".
Subsequently, he also suppressed Aaron Kwok and starred in the action comedy film "Lunwen Shu Lao Dian Liu Xian Kai".
Although the film production is very high, because of the frequent reception, these works do not win a good reputation.
He was also forced to sell the house and answer tvb development.
It wasn't until he starred in "Journey to the West" that everything ushered in a turning point.
03，
TVB's TV series "Journey to the West" hit a 40% rating and earned 200 million yuan for wireless.
Zhang Weijian also became popular again and became an idol for many viewers.
Sun Wukong, who he plays, is heroic and domineering, has a personality, and has flesh and blood.
Before that, many actors playing Sun Wukong could not escape the fate of six-year-old children, and in the end, they were not different.
Zhang Weijian's Sun Wukong is very subversive.
This is also due to his excellent acting skills.
It could have been smooth sailing, but there was a twist in the filming of the sequel.
According to Zhang Weijian's interview, his income at that time was only 90,000.
He also proposed a salary increase, but he was humiliated.
The producer told him, don't think that you will be very popular after playing Sun Wukong.
"Your popularity in the mainland is zero, and if your face is hairless, you are not valuable."
This paragraph made Zhang Weijian feel lost.
It is precisely because of this incident that he was hidden by TVB.
04，
God closes a door for you, and a window must open.
Zhang Weijian thought in his heart, if you don't cooperate, you won't cooperate, but you don't have to hurt a young man's self-esteem in this way.
So he shaved his head, and there was "no hair on his face or even on his head."
He wanted to prove it to everyone.
In 1999, he starred in the comedy costume "Young Hero Fang Shiyu".
He turned around again with the humorous Fang Shiyu, and the show's ratings reached 24%.
He and Li Bingbing starred in "Clever Little Don't Understand" and "Young Zhang Sanfeng" to a new high.
This is also his most popular time.
The old editor remembers this period of time, his costume dramas have dominated the screen, and the cooperation is also a front-line star.
Zhang Weijian is about equal to the ratings.
Another of his peaks was the TV series "Little Fish and Flowers".
The show's average ratings soared to 13.5%, successfully beating TVB's first-line innings in Guangzhou.
His popularity is almost a household name.
These dramas represent the memories of a generation.
Unfortunately, his most glorious period was also in those years.
In recent years, he has rarely starred in film and television dramas, and he met him once by chance, also in various variety shows.
Until the appearance of "Chase the Light", he came to the audience again with a shining bald head.
In introducing himself, he said —
"I am Wei Xiaobao", "I am Fang Shiyu".
Dressed in a white tracksuit, he sang a song called "Good Health" with emotion.
Grandpa Qinghui ah!
At the age of 56, he is chasing the light again!
When asked why he came to the show, he said—
"I'm really a singer who was delayed by acting, and I can get down the stairs no matter what. We have to accept that life is going downhill. ”
It's so sober!
Dare to accept yourself at any time and go up the stage against the current.
A series of heavy works, after years of polishing, lasted and more fragrant, yellowing and not old.
"I am Zhang Weijian";
"I am Fang Shiyu!"
