The 21-year-old Zhang Xiaotong successfully graduated from the Beijing Film Academy, and he renamed himself "Zhang Jiayi" to officially become a dragon set. But the emergence of a writer not only changed the trajectory of his life, but also brought him an indelible humiliation.
Northwestern boys wrestling
On April 8, 1970, Zhang Jiayi was born in Xi'an, Shaanxi Province, the fifth boy in the family, and his parents named him "Zhang Xiaotong".
His parents are both engaged in coal research, and the family lives in the compound. Zhang Jiayi has been playing crazy with the older children since he was a child, and when he was a little older, he began to fall in love with wrestling, and went to the sports school to practice for two hours every day after school. His recollection of that period of growth, simple and fulfilling, is a perfect memory, for which he was still a strange and distant concept.
Zhang Jiayi's association with acting was influenced by his uncle who worked as a producer at Xiying, who was initially attracted by the jokes told by his uncle on the set, until Xiying made a small advertisement with two fingers wide in the newspaper - a fixed point to recruit students, and he seriously considered this choice.
In 1987, 17-year-old Zhang Jiayi got a ticket to Beijing and left with a large envelope of admission notice from Beiying. In that era when college students were still very rare, Zhang Jiayi became the pride of the whole school.
Shy students with incomplete pentatonic tones
But after arriving in Beijing, he saw another scene, other students are balanced development, singing and dancing, but Zhang Jiayi spent a year, only to learn a song "Yang Bailao", his teacher Yang Jiang said: "Forget it, you will follow me."
In the first year, Because zhang Jiayi was shy, he never took a sketch with the female classmates in the class, looking for male classmates. In order to overcome his shyness, the teachers also took pains to assign him a passion play, his role needed to carry a female classmate to the bed, and the teacher asked him to perform this play naturally until the teacher shouted "stop".
But Zhang Jiayi put the female classmate on the bed and stopped on his own initiative.
The first play suffered a change of role
This shy northwest big boy has a stubborn and straight, he also does not understand that the actor is a job, immersed in it can have a good work, with the help of the teacher to introduce Zhang Jiayi received the first role of his life, after the costume modeling has been set, Zhang Jiayi hesitated and wanted to show his skills, but temporarily received a corner change notice, then he was like a roller coaster, before he had time to experience the top of the rapid downhill.
Recalling this experience now, he generously understands that for a newcomer without any endorsement of his work, "others should distrust you."
A low-pitched job search
It is difficult for newly graduated students to shoot dramas, and Zhang Jiayi's teacher once said to him: "Your image is relatively limited, and you can only play supporting roles at the beginning, but you have to insist."
Zhang Jiayi listened to the teacher's words, but the most opportunities to shoot were still in Beijing. At that time, the students in the same class were trying to let themselves stay in Beijing first, and Zhang Jiayi's personality was strong and did not know how to recommend himself to the employer, so his father came to Beijing from Xi'an to take him to run the unit with him.
After the introduction, they went to find a leader, Zhang Jiayi's father had a very humble attitude, and introduced his son to the other party in a low voice, but the other party's attitude was arrogant and arrogant. Zhang Jiayi on the side couldn't look at it and pulled his father away.
He said to his father, "You don't have to do this for me, I won't stay in Beijing, I'll go back to Xi'an."
9 years of supporting roles
Zhang Jiayi knew what kind of road he was going to take, and Beijing and Xi'an were no different from him at that time.
After returning to Xi'an, Zhang Jiayi entered the Xi'an Film Company.
Subsequently, he testified his teacher's statement that every time he had a shooting opportunity, he was a supporting role. Until nine years later, Zhang Jiayi met the great benefactor of life, a writer surnamed Du, who admired zhang Jiayi's honesty and stubbornness of the northwestern men in his bones, so Zhang Jiayi had the honor of going to Beijing in 2001 to participate in "Doctor Pamir".
Since then, the door of Du Writer's connections and resources has been opened for Zhang Jiayi. At the same time, she also sent her most precious daughter to Zhang Jiayi, but what this woman brought to Zhang Jiayi was infinite humiliation.
The shackles of love
Zhang Jiayi met Du Jun, who is also an actor, because of "Doctor Pamir".
Du Jun is an actor who is not famous in the circle, but her heart is very high, she and Zhang Jiayi have feelings for each other because of filming, and slowly walked towards each other, but at that time, Zhang Jiayi was 31 years old, and her career has not improved, and she is depressed.
At this time, he did not know that Du Jun was the daughter of his mentor, but when he was cornered, Du Jun also had to suffer, so she told the truth, and after this relationship was cleared, his father-in-law was naturally more happy to help his son-in-law run around.
His career gradually improved at this time, so Du Jun was more certain of Zhang Jiayi but he was not on his own. The relationship between the two has become unequal, Du Jun is intentionally or unintentionally a high-minded look, and Zhang Jiayi is a typical northwestern man, not soft and not flattering.
His feelings for Du Jun, including the plot of gratitude to his father-in-law, did not consider marriage as love, and did not know how to deal with the problems that arose, allowing it to go irreparable.
Zhang Jiayi and Du Jun thus became a short couple that was little known in the circle, marrying hastily and divorcing decisively.
Once, Du Jun and his wife talked about her husband Zhang Jiayi in an interview, and she proudly said: "His current achievements are all due to my father's credit!" In Du Jun's heart, Zhang Jiayi's combination with her is a typical "soft rice man" behavior, so Zhang Jiayi is very faceless.
For a man, the adoration and warmth of a woman can touch their hearts the most, on the contrary, the sharpness and arrogance are the most annoying.
Du Jun is like Tang Meiyu in "Divorce Lawyer", who is proud of her mother's family and despises her husband.
Zhang Jiayi is a poplar, its appearance is not proud, after being beaten by the wind and frost, it stands proudly.
Emotional discord can be divorced, but there is no need to denigrate the character of others, and Du Jun's heart is indeed narrow-minded.
Wang Haiyan of Wangfu
In 2003, Zhang Jiayi and Du Jun went their separate ways, and in 2004, Zhang Jiayi met his future wife Wang Haiyan because of filming. He starred with Zhang Jiayi and Wang Hui in the historical war drama "National Mission" based on the novel "Wind Tunnel" by Gao Xiang, a writer of the China Aerodynamic Research Base, in which he played Xue Yunfei, a lover of the Song Dynasty.
The first two did not speculate for more than half a sentence, but as the understanding and understanding deepened, both of them saw the good side of each other's personality. However, Wang Haiyan is also married for the second time, and her ex-husband was the general manager of Sany Heavy Industry, and later went to the sea to do business and started a welding business, realizing wealth freedom.
When Wang Haiyan divorced her ex-husband, she shared a breakup fee of 2.4 billion yuan, and she is a famous rich woman in the circle, but Zhang Jiayi is not with her for money. Wang Haiyan is sincere to Zhang Jiayi, not only never mentioning the difference in economic status between the two, but also giving birth to a daughter for Zhang Jiayi at the age of 40.
Wang Haiyan is a good woman, and both husbands have soared with her blessings. Zhang Jiayi has now become a "master milk killer", known as the representative of the walking hormone uncle, and the busiest time the whole people can see him on TV 24 hours.
He has created many classic roles, and in 2011, he won the Best Actor Award at the 17th Shanghai TV Festival Magnolia Awards for his role as Xiong Kuohai in the spy drama "Borrowing a Gun".
"The maturity and stability of middle-aged men, humor and wisdom, domineering and gentle, although they are corrupt officials, they are not greedy in the face, but in another way to interpret" Zhang Jiayi is definitely the biggest highlight in "Snail Residence".
Nowadays, Zhang Jiayi has constant drama contracts, has good partners, can take pictures suitable for his own works, and has a happy family, which is very comfortable.
