In Hong Kong in the 1980s and 1990s, martial arts films were popular.
Jackie Chan, Hong Jinbao, Zhen Zidan, Wu Jing and others have risen one after another.
There are also many martial arts actresses who have come into being: Yang Ziqiong, Li Saifeng, Hui Yinghong, Hu Huizhong and so on.
Their cool and heroic posture on the screen has made countless young boys and girls bend their waists.
Wang Zhi, a northern girl far away in Anshan, Liaoning, looked at the actresses on the screen and was also envious.
I long for the future one day I can also be a martial arts actress.
Since the daughter likes it, her parents also express their support, and at the age of 7, they take their daughter Wang Zhi to learn the art.
One study is four years.
The hardships of learning martial arts are self-evident.
The so-called one minute on stage, ten years offstage.
Pressing legs, squatting on horse steps, and practicing basic skills have become the daily routine of Wang Zhi's 4 years of martial arts practice.
In 1990, after several years of hard study and hard training, Wang Zhi finally ushered in his first "highlight moment", winning the first place in the women's group swordplay, the second place in gun skills, and the third place in Shaolin boxing in the martial arts competition held in Liaoning Province.
But for a professional martial arts practitioner, Wang Zhi still inevitably encountered his own "bottleneck".
Just like Jet Li at that time, because of injury, he had to interrupt the study of martial arts.
God closed a door and opened a window for her.
Seeing that it was difficult to achieve his kung fu dream, 13-year-old Wang Zhi, under the advice of his parents, began to learn dance. He applied for the Liaoning Dance Troupe Dance School, and at the age of 17, he was admitted to the Guangdong Dance School and continued to learn dance.
Eighteen changes in the female university, six years of dance learning, so that Wang Zhi has become more beautiful and moving, long-term training, skin tight and smooth, a pure face is more attractive to many little boys love the eyes.
But in Wang Zhi's heart, it is still difficult to forget the dream of childhood, when a martial arts actress, since there is no chance now, it is also very good to be an actor.
In 2004, after consulting with his parents, Wang Zhi applied for the Chinese opera, and after years of dance training, Wang Zhi had a great advantage in the interview and was successfully admitted to the Chinese opera.
There is an unwritten rule in Chinese opera that after students enter the school, they are not allowed to go out to take over the drama during their freshman and sophomore years, so as to ensure that students can concentrate on learning acting.
Therefore, in his junior year, Wang Zhicai was able to star in the first TV series in his life, "Witness", in which he starred as a small nurse. There are not many scenes, and even the picture is difficult to capture. The main actors are Li Yapeng, Jinggangshan and so on.
In 2008, Wang Zhi graduated from Chinese opera, and was not eager to join the show business circle, and when his classmates around him went around to submit their resumes to the crew and seek roles, Wang Zhi made a puzzling decision: to go to Zhangzikou Village, Yangsong Town, Huairou District, Beijing, to become a college student village official.
In his 3-year career as a village official, Wang Zhi not only had to deal with the big and small affairs in the village, answer the confusion of the villagers, and the parents were short, but also went to various villages as a dance volunteer free of charge to teach the villagers to learn dance.
Under the leadership of Wang Zhi, the dance "Hope" choreographed by the villagers also won the first prize of the competition, because of its sweet appearance, lively and gentle personality, and was also called "the most beautiful village official in Beijing" by the locals.
However, Wang Zhi also lost the best age to become popular in the show business circle.
During that time, Wang Zhi had few opportunities to appear on the screen, and only starred in the TV series "Tiger Courage Ambition".
In 2011, Wang Zhi, who returned to the show business, ushered in a turning point in his acting career, and was selected by director Ju Jueliang to star in the TV series "Ma Yongzhen" with Chen Guokun, in which he starred as Ma Yongzhen's sister Bai Xiaodi.
During the filming of this play, Wang Zhi's experience of practicing martial arts finally came in handy, all the fight scenes were personally played, and the clean and capable martial arts action was flowing smoothly, which made the actors on the scene stunned.
Therefore, after filming this drama, Wang Zhi also had an extra name - martial arts actress.
After years of wishing, I finally got my wish.
However, Wang Zhi's dream of martial arts actresses is still impossible to realize, at this time, Hong Kong martial arts films have long begun to slowly decline, the market is full of love, fantasy films, many once popular martial arts actresses have gradually lost the light of the past, Hong Kong martial arts actresses began to enter the mainland, do supporting roles, and seek transformation.
However, with the popularity of "Ma Yongzhen", Wang Zhi's drama contracts have gradually increased, and in 2012 alone, he took over three plays such as "The Next Miracle", "Jingzhong Yue Fei", and "True Love Without Regret of Painting Skin". The partners are popular actors Huang Xiaoming, Nicholas Tse and so on.
When the career began to improve, love also came unexpectedly.
In 2012, Wang Zhi and You Yi, a top domestic photographer, met unexpectedly and quickly fell in love.
What she did not expect was that the relationship would be controversial.
You Yi, who was the same age as Wang Zhi at the time, was also 30 years old and had just broken up with his ex-girlfriend. Therefore, many people have misunderstood that Wang Zhi intervened in the relationship between You Yi and his ex-girlfriend, and inexplicably became a "little three".
Fortunately, at that time, Wang Zhi was not famous, and You Yi was not an insider, and this relationship was not paid attention to by many people, and there was a lot less unnecessary trouble.
Although You Yi is not an insider, he is the "royal photographer" of many stars in China, who has created an image blockbuster for Li Yuchun, and his fashion blockbusters have also appeared on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala, and he is one of the few well-known photographers at home and abroad.
Of course, after falling in love with Wang Zhi, You Yi also became Wang Zhi's "royal photographer" and took many heartwarming photos for Wang Zhi.
Many of Wang Zhi's photographs are written by her boyfriend You Yi.
Because of her boyfriend's working relationship, You Yi and many actors in the circle are very familiar, and also laid a "foreshadowing" for Wang Zhi's fame.
In 2015, Happy Twist decided to put the drama of the same name "Charlotte Troubles" on the screen, and the actors in the film were mostly composed of the original drama actors: Shen Teng, Ma Li, Allen... However, only the role of "Qiu Ya" in the film is unresolved, and a suitable candidate has not been found.
After watching You Yi's photo of Wang Zhi, directors Yan Fei and Peng Damo finally made a decision and decided on Wang Zhi.
Whether it is looks or figure, Wang Zhi is undoubtedly the most suitable. Facts have also proved that the director's vision is indeed good.
After the film was released, it became the "dark horse" at the box office that year, and Wang Zhi won the most potential award of the first "Golden Sheep Award" at the Macao International Film Festival with his outstanding performance, nominated for the best supporting actress of the 33rd Hundred Flowers Awards for popular films, and was praised by the media as "national first love".
But the royal can be pure, captured the hearts of many otaku.
Ke Cheng also "Qiu Ya", defeat also "Qiu Ya", because this role is too deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, after Wang Zhi starred in a number of film and television dramas, it is still difficult to surpass this role.
Just like Lou Yixiao in "Love Apartment" is difficult to get rid of the shackles of "Hu Yifei", Sha Yi of "Wulin Wai biography" is difficult to get out of the aura of "Bai Zhantang".
In the two years from 2016 to 2017, Wang Zhi successively starred in films and televisions such as "Liangsheng, Can We Not Be Sad", "Human Comedy", "Shy Iron Fist" and so on, but it is still tepid.
In 2017, Wang Zhi and You Yi got married in a low-key manner, and gave birth to their daughter "Xiaomi" the following year.
But as an actor, it is certainly not willing to say that he will be willing to be in a play for a lifetime.
In 2020, the 38-year-old Wang Zhi appeared on the stage of "Sister Riding the Wind and Waves", and when they first met, they made an embarrassing situation. Singer Ardor said that he did not know Wang Zhi because he had not watched a film or television drama for too long.
Not only was Ardor unfamiliar with Wang Zhi, but Tranquility did not know Wang Zhi either. It wasn't until Wang Zhi said that he had starred in "Charlotte Troubles" that Ardor suddenly realized.
The entertainment industry is like this, there is no masterpiece, no weighty award, and do not know how to hype, it will be forgotten by the audience, and even insiders will feel strange.
But although Wang Zhi has worked very hard and his singing and dancing performance is also good, he was eventually eliminated. On the topic, she is not as good as Tranquility and Zhang Yuqi, and on the degree of professionalism, she is also covered up by other actresses in the same program. Impromptu play is also not very good.
In the same year, Wang Zhi participated in "Actors Please Take Place", and at this time, Wang Zhi most wanted to tear off the label of "Qiu Ya" so that the audience could see a different Wang Zhi.
There is a fire in her heart, and she hopes that her performance can be seen by directors and her acting skills can be played.
However, Wang Zhi was once again eliminated. Because she is partnered with Zhang Dada.
Even netizens felt that Wang Zhi was not worth it, and was eliminated in "Sister", and was rejected in various ways in "Actors Please Take Place".
Everyone is working their own trajectory, but just like Yang Mi's words in a certain program: Why do you want others to understand your hardships? Because everyone is hard.
Effort is important, but the most important thing is to rely on your own strength to achieve convincing results.
In this big dye vat-like entertainment circle, it is so realistic and cruel.
Wang Zhi's hope will be the next play?
Hopefully.
