When you mention the "costumed male god", who will you think of at the first time?
I believe that many people will say that it was the "four beauties of tianya" that surprised countless audiences that year: Zhong Hanliang, Huo Jianhua, Qiao Zhenyu, yan kuan.
In fact, the members of "Tianya Four Beauty" have changed several times, and Zhang Zhiyao has twice been voted by netizens.
Compared with several other actors, Zhang Zhiyao is low-key, the heat is not high, and most of the supporting roles he has played in recent years have not affected his every appearance to get the attention of netizens.
For example, the Zi Yin zhenren in "Ancient Sword Qitan",
The god of folding face in "Three Lives and Three Worlds and Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms".
With high appearance, high education, proficient in six Chinese, and also martial arts, he played the leading role as soon as he debuted, and also won jackie Chan's praise, why has he not been able to become popular?
01, from a rich man to a costumed male god
Born in 1975 to a wealthy family in Taiwan Province, Zhang Zhiyao's parents are said to have done business in South America, and he moved to South America with his parents at the age of 3.
Because of his parents' working relationship, he has lived in various countries since he was a child, traveled to more than twenty different countries, and has also lived in Brazil, Spain, Italy and other places.
Not only is he fluent in English, but he also speaks French, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese and, of course, Mandarin and Cantonese fluently.
However, this unstable life forced him to transfer schools many times, and he went to 7 schools in middle school and transferred schools three times in a year, making it difficult to integrate into the group.
While studying in Paraguay, he was determined to learn martial arts because he could not stand the ridicule and teasing of local students.
He loves Aikido, Truncheondo and Taekwondo, and has also studied Bagua Palm, Tai Chi, Shaolin and so on.
He likes to play football and was also selected to participate in the elite team of the Brazilian national youth team.
What's more, he also has a lot of musical talent, good at samba drums and saxophone, and life is like hanging on.
At the age of 19, after returning to China, he accidentally met Jackie Chan at a conference.
Jackie Chan saw that he was handsome and very good at kung fu, so he introduced him to join Jiahe Movie, so he successfully stepped into the show business circle.
In 1997, Zhang Yusheng, a famous producer in the music industry, created a Chinese album "Who Is She" for him, and the film emperor Ren Dahua also took a photo for him.
In the same year, he also starred in the first film "Super Soldier Locomotive Squad Leader".
The following year, he participated in the filming of the films "The Pawn Warrior" and "The Guessing Pistol of the Evil Girl".
In 1999, he starred in the comedy film Sunshine Cop.
The sunny and refreshing appearance is eye-catching, and even Von der Lun around him is compared to him.
In 2000, he also collaborated with Jackie Chan on "Secret Agent Maze" and starred in the sequel to the film, "Secret Agent Maze 2003".
But it was an era of handsome men, Wu Yanzu, Chen Guanxi and other people have become popular, and the producers feel that Zhang Zhiyao, who looks good in ancient and modern times, will be easier to play in costume.
Therefore, in 2000, he played the innocent little Taoist priest Domoto Gang in "Legend of Heaven and Earth Fish Beauty", and became popular because of it.
After that, he was already good at martial arts, and starred in many costume dramas, such as the heroic Yang Zongbao in "Yangmen Female General".
When playing against him, even the usual domineering tranquility has become a lot softer and more cute.
There is also the flower full building in "The Legend of Lu Xiaofeng" that "white clothes win snow, light work is superb",
Because he only acted in the first three films, it also triggered the audience's dissatisfaction with the crew, saying that he had lost the motivation to chase the drama without "spending the full building".
At the age of 37, he also played the mercurial Chu Liuxiang in "The New Biography of Chu Liuxiang".
In "Yitian Slaughtering Dragon", Zhang Cuishan, who he played, played a small role, but still left a deep impression on the audience.
In "Ancient Sword Qitan" and "Three Lives and Three Worlds and Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms", he played a supporting role, and also gained a large number of "fan sisters" with his elegant and gentle temperament.
He has also challenged different types of dramas, such as the action movie "Kill the Wolf".
Starred in the urban romance movie "Countdown to the Engagement",
He also played father and son with Li Yifeng in "Living Color and Fragrance".
Although he has created many classic roles and starred in popular TV series, he has always been tepid.
Even Zhang Zhiyao was a little confused: "Why do everyone feel different every time I play a role, no one remembers you." My face is going to change, and I'm weird myself."
However, it has always been "not popular" that may also be related to his own personality.
02, timely fun, private life into a mystery
Since he was a child, he has a good life and a wide range of interests, and he has not taken "red not red" in his heart.
When he first studied abroad, he originally studied electronics, but when he traveled to Spain, he listened to a drama class at the local university.
Choosing to enter the industry is also because of Jackie Chan's appreciation and invitation, "Jackie Chan big brother said so, then go into the circle to play." ”
After relying on costume dramas to get out of the circle, he did not increase the amount of films in a single blow, but only made one drama a year on average, and most of his time was spent on travel.
It is rumored that when he was filming "The Lady of Yangmen", he hoped that the director could quickly "write his role to death" so that he could finish work early and go on a trip.
Some filmmakers once asked him to play Zhao Zilong in "Three Kingdoms", but he rejected the other party on the spot on the grounds that "what I like in the Three Kingdoms is Ma Chao".
After playing football in Brazil for many years, he is known as a "small international", and he also set himself a rule that "never works during the World Cup".
When he is not filming or watching football, he is busy playing around the world and actively sharing what he has seen on social platforms.
He also kept learning new skills, not only hidden swimmers, bowling gymnastics, video game masters, but even jewelry appreciation.
So fun-loving and casual, it is no wonder that some netizens call him "Tourism Satellite TV", and regret that he wasted his appearance and talent.
But Zhang Zhiyao does not care about the voices of the outside world, he feels that it is enough to present his favorite things to the audience.
Moreover, he is not short of money from a wealthy family, and he casually posts photos, and the watch he wears on his hand is worth 2 million yuan.
He also collected many cartoon characters around, SpongeBob SquarePants, Pai Daxing, and Minions to fill the house.
However, he said that his family situation is not as exaggerated as everyone thinks, and most of the trips are "budget mode", directly wearing clothes and bathing in the fountain in the square, and sleeping in other people's refrigerators...
Moreover, his treatment of filming is not exactly the mentality of "playing tickets", and the action scenes are usually personally played.
When playing Hua Manlou in "The Legend of Lu Xiaofeng", in order to meet the role setting of "blind man", he insisted on not blinking when filming, resulting in a decrease in vision of two or three hundred degrees after filming.
In an interview, he mentioned that Fa Xiao's early death had caused him a big blow, so he wanted to seize the time to enjoy life.
He enjoys sharing the joys of traveling with everyone, but he protects his private life very well, and there have been few scandals in the years since he entered the industry.
After filming "Ancient Sword Qitan" turned popular, there were rumors that he and Xia Qingyin had been married for many years.
The other party played Zhang Jiejie in "The New Biography of Chu Liuxiang", an investor in the play and the owner of his brokerage company.
Some netizens pulled out photos of the two going to a friend's wedding together.
Just when the outside world was boiling, Xia Qing publicly denied it on the Internet, which ended the matter.
Around 2018, there were rumors that he suspected of having a wife and daughter, and also posted photos of him on a video call with a little girl.
But he did not respond to this, and the exposé did not have other "real hammers", and finally it was not resolved.
Today, he is 46 years old, except for the occasional filming,
is still traveling around,
Party with friends,
When signing autographs for fans, he who is not very good at writing Chinese, and he writes very cute strokes.
Busy celebrating Children's Day, wanting to go to Minions Paradise, still childlike,
There seems to be no sign of getting married and having children.
However, every day is so colorful, even if it is single, why not?
epilogue
In fact, if Zhang Zhiyao is strong enough in his career, his current development should not be worse than his partner Zhang Zhilin in "The Legend of Lu Xiaofeng".
But there is no shortage of drama, there is a lot of fan love; life is comfortable, will not be spied on by the outside world at all times, even if it has not reached the so-called "peak", it is already a state that most people can not hope for.
There are gains and losses in life, as long as you feel satisfied and happy.
However, as an audience, it is inevitable that you will feel a little pity, and I hope that he can continue to portray the role that is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people in the future.
