Award-winning moment
On December 30, 2021, the 34th Chinese film "Golden Rooster Award" came to an end in Xiamen, Fujian Province, and the famous actor Zhang Yi won the "Golden Rooster Award" Best Actor Award for his role as "Zhang Xianchen" in the spy film "On the Cliff".
Zhang Yi's award was on the hot search, triggering heated discussion among the audience. Many netizens said that he deserved it, but some netizens also posted comments saying that Zhang Yi was difficult to convince the public with this award, that it was good luck and that zhang Yimou's light was stained. So is this really the case?
The five male actors nominated for the Golden Rooster Award this time are: Yu Hewei, who played "Zhou Yi" in "On the Cliff"; Liu Ye, who played "Wang Jicai" in "The Island Keeper"; Zhang Yi, who played "Zhang Xianchen" in "On the Cliff"; Yi Qianxi, who played "Wei Yihang" in "Send You a Little Red Flower"; Guo Xiaodong, who played "Jiao Yulu" in "My Father Jiao Yulu".
When the original nomination award actor was announced, few people predicted that Zhang Yi would be able to win the award, and the most popular people among netizens were Yu Hewei and Yi Qianxi.

Yu Hewei is an old drama bone of the acting school, and his acting skills in "On the Cliff" are pure. Yi Qianxi is a popular young student, handsome-looking, has a high popularity among young netizens, and his acting skills in "Send You a Little Red Flower" are remarkable.
In an interview, Zhang Yi himself said that he never thought he would be able to win the award, and he felt that this award should be awarded to Yu Hewei, because Yu Hewei's performance was more exciting.
According to the Beiqing Network, Zhang Yi walked backstage after receiving the award, bowed deeply to Yu Hewei, and said: "I'm sorry, this award should be awarded to you." Yu Hewei was touched by Zhang Yi's modesty, and the two men hugged tightly, tears welling up in their eyes.
Zhang Yi's award this time, is it really as good luck as netizens say? I don't think so.
Zhang Yi is not handsome in appearance, but he is a recognized acting school. As early as 2014, he won the Best Supporting Actor Award at the 30th Golden Rooster Awards of Chinese Cinema with the role of "Han Dezhong" in the film "Dear".

In 2017, he won the Best Actor Award at the 23rd Shanghai TV Festival "Magnolia Award" for his wonderful performance in the TV series "Chicken Feathers Fly to the Sky".
In 2018, Zhang Yi won the Audience Favorite Actor Award at the 29th China Television "Golden Eagle Award". This weighty award is actually a recognition of Zhang Yi's acting skills.
Let's take a look at Zhang Yi's performance in "On the Cliff". The film is directed by international director Zhang Yimou, and co-starred Zhang Yi, Yu Hewei, Qin Hailu, Zhu Yawen and other powerful film stars.
Zhang Yi plays "Zhang Xianchen" in the film, a senior agent of our party who returned from training in the Soviet Union in the 1940s. In order to complete the secret mission of "Utra", Zhang Xianchen was tortured and faced a rupture of family affection and love.
Scene after scene, scene after scene, sadistic and tear-jerking, making people tear their hearts and lungs.

The location of "On the Cliff" is on the central street of Harbin, which is the story of Zhang Yi's hometown for the first time. Coincidentally, Zhang Yi's home was once on Central Avenue, and Zhang Yimou's monitor was set up at the hutong entrance of Zhang Yi's old house.
Zhang Yi shoots here every day, and it feels like coming home, both familiar and kind.
Before filming Zhang Yimou's film, each lead actor signed a confidentiality agreement with the crew and could not disclose any situation of the crew. Zhang Yi violated the regulations and took two photos of Central Avenue and quietly sent them to his parents.
The son returned to his hometown to shoot a drama, and his parents were also very excited. Afterwards, Zhang Yi took the initiative to confess to Zhang Yimou and said that his parents would not send the photos to others. Zhang Yimou understood Zhang Yi's feelings of returning to his hometown to shoot a drama and did not criticize him.
Zhang Yi and Zhang Yimou
When Zhang Yimou directed "Jinling Thirteen Chao" that year, an actress violated the regulations and revealed the situation of the crew, and the result was expelled, which led to the exposure of Zhang Yimou's love marriage with Chen Ting.
It is difficult to write two Zhangs in one stroke, and it should be said that Zhang Yimou loves Zhang Yiyi.
When Zhang Yimou directed the film "One Second", Zhang Yi played the male number one, playing a fugitive, and the two formed a deep friendship in the crew.
Zhang Yimou rarely praises an actor positively, but because of this film, he fully affirms Zhang Yi's acting skills. Therefore, when directing "On the Cliff", Lao Mozi took the initiative to let Zhang Yi join.
In "On the Cliff", "Zhang Xianchen", played by Zhang Yi, was tortured, and the most memorable impression given to the audience was "miserable".
Due to the needs of the plot, Zhang Yi often lies outdoors at more than minus 30 degrees, and one shot is more than two hours. His ears were as thin as pieces of paper, and he couldn't touch them with his hands, or he would fall down.
When filming the injured scene, the artificial blood sticks to the ice on the body and freezes with Zhang Yi's skin and flesh. After the play, Zhang Yi did not dare to pull it with his hand, otherwise he would tear off a large piece of skin. Zhang Yi had to wait for the snow and ice to slowly melt before she could remove her makeup.
When filming the scene of the electric shock torture, in order to highlight the emaciation and emaciation, Zhang Yi dieted a week in advance and did not sleep two days in advance, making himself look sick.
In order to make the performance realistic, many of Zhang Yi's shots are real-life shooting. The electric shock came down, and many wounds fell on his body.
When "On the Cliff" was released, many viewers said that Zhang Yi's performance in the play was too wonderful, he should win the award, and he would become popular in the future.
In "On the Cliff", Zhang Yi also has a lot of improvisations. For example, in the scene with Xiaolan, Xiaolan wants to stew ribs for him. According to the plot, Zhang Xianchen turned around and left. Zhang Yi temporarily added a line "You long dim sum", Xiao Lan was stunned.
Zhang Yimou was devastated by Zhang Yijia's line shooting.
For another example, when Zhang Xianchen and Zhou Yi said goodbye in the car, he did not talk about ideals according to the script, but explained some situations of his family and relatives. Zhang Yimou believes that zhang yijie's play is more in line with the mood of the parties.

In the crew, Zhang Yi also saved a mass actor. At that time, more than a dozen extras played "corpses", lying in the snow for more than 20 minutes.
After the scene was filmed, everyone walked back, and Zhang Yi looked back and saw a mass actor who could not stand up in the snow. He ran over to see that the right hand of the extra was frozen white, like a piece of hard plastic.
Zhang Yi grew up in Harbin and knew that the other party would have to have his leg amputated when he was sent to the hospital. So he used the ancestral method of soil and grabbed a handful of snow to wipe the other party's right arm. It took more than 20 minutes to wipe before the back of the other party's hand appeared bloody, and finally got out of danger.
Zhang Yi and Zhang Xiaofei won the award
During filming in Harbin, Zhang Yi never returned home, although the crew was only two streets away from his home. During the shooting break, he cut the scene in the hotel, and it was not until all the shots were finished that Zhang Yi went home to meet with his parents.
For the play "On the Cliff", Zhang Yi paid a lot of hardships, and his performance was also outstanding, and this award is also deserved.
The release of a grand prize is a comprehensive presentation of the time and place. It is undeniable that the director of "On the Cliff" is Zhang Yimou, which makes this film and Zhang Yi and other leading actors have a higher degree of attention.
As we all know, Zhang Yimou has won the popularity of Gong Li, Zhang Ziyi, Dong Jie and other actresses, but rarely popular male actors. Starring in his films, Zhang Yi should be the first actor to win the award.
