Today, I brushed the video to see the promotion of the "Manslaughter 2" movie trailer, and saw that there was Zhang Shi inside, and I couldn't help but sigh:
He finally came out to shoot the scene!
Since "Tang Detective" played a small role, he disappeared from the public's vision.
There may be people who can't remember who Zhang Shi is when they see it, but if you mention the famous scene of the TV drama version of "Mythology": "I want to do Zhao Gao, I just want to climb to the top step by step, I want to be Zhao Gao above ten thousand people under one person!" "Everyone must have been impressed.
He is played by Zhang Shi.
He is also the lustful and kind-loving Gong Xi in "Pink Girl", and the treacherous villain Tian Jie in "The Emperor of Han Wu" who attacks his heart and uses conspiracies and tricks to climb up.
Many of the roles played by Zhang Shi are small people, but he can always play the role with superb acting skills, and the degree of brilliance even crushes the protagonist.
Zhang Shi's acting skills can be compared to other excellent old drama bones, known as "drama essence", debuted 10 years ago has been crowned emperor, compared to the honor he won and his role in the circle, Zhang Shi himself is a very low-key actor outside the play, but also a representative of the drama red people are not popular.
In Zhang Shi's 38-year acting career, he has always risen and fallen in peaks and valleys, red and red.
Zhang Shi was born in Taiwan in 1966 to a military father.
Because he is an old man, although Zhang Father is very strict with him on weekdays, he is very spoiled, which also creates Zhang Shi's rebellious personality of "pampering and proud".
Zhang Shi in adolescence is a living and free chaos demon king, a typical rebellious boy, who is full of trouble and does not study well.
In order to let him learn his special skills and not starve to death in the future, Zhang Father sent him to the Guoguang Drama Art Experimental School to study acting.
At this time, Zhang Shi did not know what the real performance was, or whether he was messing around as usual.
The turning point came from participating in Hou Xiaoxian's "The Man from the Wind Cabinet".
In 1983, Hou Xiaoxian's film "The Man from the Wind Cabinet" began filming, which told the story of the growth path of several rebellious teenagers by the sea.
The film's lead actor Niu Chengze is a good friend of Zhang Shi, and he feels that Zhang Shi is very suitable for the role in the film, so he recommended Zhang Shi to Hou Xiaoxian.
After arriving on the set, Hou Xiaoxian took a fancy to Zhang Shi at a glance, and Zhang Shi was so confused that he participated in the first play of his life and made his debut, and it was precisely because of this movie that changed Zhang Shi's fate.
Perhaps the role in the play is too similar to himself, or perhaps Zhang Shi himself is very talented in acting, and his unpolished acting skills have brought the characters in the film to life.
Zhang Shi's success in character development was recognized and praised by the audience, which stimulated his latent love of acting, and also made him seriously think about acting for the first time, and he decided to become an actor.
This year Zhang Shi was 17 years old.
Zhang Shi, who decided to become an actor, began to study acting and polish his acting skills.
Six years later, in 1989, Zhang Shi collaborated with Andy Lau and Lu Xiuling in "Soaring City", playing a horse boy and emerging.
In the same year, he filmed the movie "Banana Paradise" directed by Wang Tong, perhaps from a military family and the experience of staying in the army with his father, Zhang Shi played the inner struggle and helplessness of the veteran "Li Desheng", and this role won him the Golden Horse Award for Best Supporting Actor.
You should know that this movie is only the third play since Zhang Shi's debut, and being able to have such an anti-heavenly achievement is enough to prove Zhang Shi's acting talent, and he was born to eat the bowl of rice as an actor.
This year, Zhang Shi was 23 years old and became popular in the Taiwanese film industry with this film.
Zhang Shi, who has been playing a supporting role before, got the first male protagonist script in his life after getting the Golden Horse male supporting role.
In 1990, Zhang Shi starred in the movie "First Date" and played the leading role.
The film was released in the American Commercial Theater and set an excellent box office record, and Zhang Shi was also recognized for his film being invited to participate in various important film festivals in the world, such as the New York Film Festival, the Los Angeles Film Festival, and the Toronto Film Festival.
This magnified his confidence and dreams, and he had the idea of breaking out of the world on the higher and greater stage of the United States.
So he chose to give up everything he had to go to the United States to shoot movies when his career was booming, and this walk was two years.
And the cruel reality gave Zhang Shi a slap, no fame, no connections, no resources Zhang Shi in the United States is facing no drama to shoot situation, although when there is no drama to shoot, he did not let himself idle, began to read and practice lines to study the role, to prepare for future roles.
But people always have to eat, so in order to survive, he went to the restaurant as a dishwasher, from the best male partner in Jinma to a dishwasher in a foreign country, and this strong gap also made Zhang Shi also begin to think about whether his choice was correct.
In 1993, in the United States, he received an invitation to perform in the director Huang Jianxin's historical drama film "Five Kui", just as he had gone to the United States without hesitation, Zhang Shi received the script and after several thoughts, he returned to Taiwan to participate in the shooting without hesitation.
It turned out that Zhang Shi's choice was correct. With this film, he not only won the Golden Horse Award nomination for Best Actor, but also won the Rotterdam Film Festival Audience Vote for Best Actor.
This year, Zhang Shi was 28 years old and won the second award in his life.
The long-lost sense of accomplishment has given Zhang Shi full confidence in taking his acting career to a higher level.
Perhaps by timing, or by character and fate, Zhang Shi, who had rekindled his confidence in performance, fell into a 6-year silence.
After getting the award, Zhang Shi signed a contract with Huashi, but did not expect that he had become a pawn, after signing the contract, Zhang Shi not only did not have good resources, but Huashi has been hanging him, but Zhang Shi, who was angry, went to find Huashi high-level theory, and the words annoyed Huashi's high-level, so he was banned.
Zhang Shi, who was not willing to be toyed with and applauded like this, decided to break out of the sky on his own.
In 1999, Zhang Shi was nominated for the Golden Bell Award for his self-directed and self-acting unit drama "Listen to the Sound of the Rainbow", and won the best unit drama, best screenplay, best actor, best music, best cinematography and other awards.
Zhang Shi returned to the public eye again, and his acting career was back on track. At this time, he had a new thinking about his acting career, and he decided to develop in the mainland.
Although Zhang Shi is a shining star in the Taiwanese film industry, he lacks popularity in the mainland.
He came to Shanghai in 2000 and acted in unknown dramas in his first two years on the mainland, until 2003, when his role in "Pink Girl" opened up popularity for him.
In 2005, Zhang Shi was hand-picked by CCTV to play Tian Jie in "The Emperor of Han Wu", and only two Taiwanese actors were used in the whole drama, Empress Dou used Gui Yalei, Tian Yu used Zhang Shi, and in front of Chen Baoguo, Jiao Huang and Gui Yalei and other powerful actors, Zhang Shi's acting skills were not inferior.
Zhang Shi plays Tian Jie, who is scheming, good at drilling camps, and likes to climb up with intrigue and trickery, to the real and expressive, and his performance is precise and natural, making Tian Feng's historical figure jump on the screen.
In 2010, Zhang Shi ushered in his "fengshen god" work "Mythology".
Zhang Shi's performance of Zhao Gao is a tragic character to the extreme, but also a character that people can't hate, Zhang Shi portrayed Zhao Gao in the play as flesh and blood, so that the audience hates him and tickles his teeth at the same time, but also can't help but pity his suffering and grievance for him.
"I want to be Zhao Gao, I just want to climb to the top step by step, I want to be Zhao Gao above ten thousand people under one person!" In this performance, Zhang Shi vividly performed Zhao Gao's ambition, desire, humility, hatred, unwillingness and pain, and this wonderful performance was also included in the textbook of the Beijing Film Academy, setting an example for countless latecomers.
Later, Zhang Shi played the role of yellow coat in "County Order Yellow Horse Coat". In 2008, Zhang Shi starred in the TV series "Maltese on the Balance", which was nominated for the male lead of the 44th Golden Bell Awards drama program.
Since then, Zhang Shi has starred in many dramas, but none of the works out of the circle can overshadow the name of "Zhao Gao". Zhang Shi fell into the embarrassing situation that the drama red man was not red, everyone knew the bad Zhao Gao, but did not know that the actor's name was Zhang Shi.
He disappeared from the viewer's field of vision for a long time.
Why can Zhang Shi play each role so well?
He mentions:
"You just have to look at the scripts I've made."
"I never just draw a few lines with highlighter, usually it's densely packed with words, and the script is turned to tatters."
"No matter how much I play, I will treat it with the mentality of 'I am the male protagonist', even if it is only one sentence, I will take it seriously." 」
Because of the heart.
Zhang Shi is now basically in a state of half-breathing, enjoying a happy and plain home life, and rarely comes out to act. Seeing the trailer of "Manslaughter 2", Zhang Shi should play a character who is more important to the promotion of the plot in the film, still not the protagonist, but his acting skills do not need to be doubted.
Throughout Zhang Shi's acting career, he personally interpreted a sentence: there are only small people, no small actors.
