In 2019, newcomer actor Wang Zhen gained attention for his partner Zhou Dongyu starring in the movie "On the Balcony".
This actor who is too new to be new, why can he partner with the film queen as soon as he debuts? This can't help but put a veil of mystery on Wang Zhen.
In the same year, at the Golden Rooster Film Festival, director Li Shaohong did not hesitate to praise Wang Zhen for not having any baggage of small fresh meat when shaping the role, but devoted himself to the role wholeheartedly, and could accurately grasp the personality of the role when acting. He also praised him for being able to sink his heart to learn from the senior actors on the set and ask for advice.
Multiple factors, director Li Shaohong strongly recommended Wang Zhen, hoping that the market can give him more development opportunities.
Under the recommendation of the big director, Wang Zhen successfully entered the Star Sea Project and stood in the first row with the well-known young actors Zhou Dongyu, Wang Junkai, Yi Qianxi, Liu Haoran, Chen Feiyu, Song Zu'er, and Zhang Xueying.
A year later, the second season of "Actors Please Take Place" was launched, and Wang Zhen joined as a contestant.
"In the Name of Family" starring with his partner was well received, and the two directors Zhao Wei and Er Dongsheng took turns to praise.
"Wang Zhen is talented", "the future is immeasurable", "quite potential in the film", etc., these other players can not enjoy the praise, in Wang Zhen this stop can not stop.
After the praise ended, Er Dongsheng and Zhao Wei took advantage of chen Kaige's lack of return to god, and rushed to give Wang Zhen an S card, successfully "guaranteeing" him to S level.
In just one year of debut, he partnered with Zhou Dongyu, the queen of the Golden Horse Film, and was recommended by director Li Shaohong, and also made Zhao Wei and director Er Dongsheng praised, and even appeared side by side with Wang Junkai, Yi Yanqianxi, Liu Haoran and other first-line actors in the Star Sea Plan.
This time and again, the resources, the opportunity to surpass his peers again and again, could not help but cover Wang Zhen with a mysterious veil.
So what is the origin of Wang Zhen, who was recommended by Li Shaohong and was "guaranteed" by Zhao Wei and had continuous resources?
In fact, looking at Wang Zhen's information, we can find that he does not have a so-called background, let alone a resource café, but an ordinary actor who has both luck and talent and knows how to work hard.
<h1 class=pgc-h-arrow-right > luck boys</h1>
When Wang Zhen introduced himself in Actors Please Take Place 2, he ridiculed himself as a luck boy who partnered with the Golden Horse Film as soon as he debuted.
Such an introduction is not exaggerated at all, and his luck is not only reflected in this point.
Wang Was born into a merchant family in Wenzhou, Zhejiang Province, and was raised in the free range because his parents were too busy with business to take care of him. He likes literary and artistic activities and has also won the second prize and third prize in the recitation and painting competition.
But because his parents couldn't keep him in charge, he dropped out of school early, and in 2012, at the age of 16, Wang Zhen attended high school, and only a year later he chose to go to Shanghai to work as a graphic model, when he was only 17 years old.
Therefore, the Wang Zhen seen today is only high Chinese.
It is difficult to find a job with his diploma, but he was born with good conditions, and being a model is also a good way out. It is precisely because of his modeling that he has the opportunity to transform into an actor.
Just when he was still interested in modeling, there was a person who had been secretly staring at him for a long time, and this person was Wang Zhen's later agent.
The agent first looked at his flat photo on the social platform and was attracted by the appearance, and then made an appointment to meet. Doing a good job as a model, Wang Zhen did not regard this meeting as very important, but held a normal heart to treat, who knew that this meeting actually changed the trajectory of his life.
After meeting, the agent decided to take him in.
Soon after, With the help of this agent, Wang Zhen met the film queen and the famous director in the circle that he could not know in his life, and completely changed his life.
Coinciding with director Zhang Meng's preparation for the filming of "On the Balcony", the agent took Wang Zhen to the director's house for tea, originally just introduced a new person to him to know and know, wanted to mix and familiarize, who knew that after only two weeks Zhang Meng informed him to play the role of Zhang Hero.
This surprised everyone around him, after all, this is the work of the best director of the Golden Horse Awards, and the partner is also the red Golden Horse film queen Zhou Dongyu, shouldn't this role be played by a high-traffic star? Why did it come to you?
Wang Zhen was lucky and confused, and only after the end of the cooperation did he know that the reason why Director Zhang Meng looked for him was entirely to see the sadness in his eyes.
In this way, Wang Zhen's debut work was both a famous director and a film queen, and successfully gained attention.
Gao Chinese, from a model to an actor, what is Wang Zhen's head? There is no such thing as a "coming", he is just a lucky one. And this luck is also accompanied by his efforts and talents, otherwise luck would not always exist.
The harder you work, the luckier you get, and Wang Zhen, who is already lucky, has a bigger stage under his efforts.
< h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > the result of gritting your teeth</h1>
Because the script says that the character Zhang Hero has bamboo pole-like legs, in order to get closer to the role, he is the model's figure and bites his teeth and loses ten pounds. In order not to increase muscles and more in line with Zhang Hero's figure, he can only be hard and hungry, and at first he will have stomach pains, but slowly he will get used to it.
Weight loss is only one of them, and there are still many difficulties waiting for him to solve.
In order to fit the characters, he would wear the old man's shirt, pulling board, and shorts that Zhang Hero often wore before the shooting, and wander around in the alleys of Shanghai; he would eat the raw fried, fritters, and pickled rice that Zhang Hero often ate; and he would find friends a month in advance to learn Shanghainese.
Use actions to truly feel Zhang Hero's growth environment, to feel his daily life, although he is not an actor and has not learned to act, but Wang Zhen knows how to turn himself into a role.
Therefore, before the start of filming, he had already found the character status of Zhang Hero.
During the real shooting process, Wang Zhen felt the pain of being an actor for the first time.
One of the scenes is riding a motorcycle on the Bund, the temperature is zero, everyone is wearing down jackets, but he can only wear sandals, shorts, T-shirts sitting on the motorcycle blowing the wind, almost every time he shoots a scene, he drinks a cup of ginger tea to drive away the cold.
How could Wang Zhen, who had never suffered so much, endure this biting cold? For a time, the thought of giving up arises.
Don't actors just suffer from these things? Gritting his teeth and surviving again, this was Wang Zhen's first contact with acting, and it was also the first time he really felt that it was not easy to be an actor.
After "On the Balcony" was finished, the director said to him: Your role is very good!
The director's affirmation gave Wang Zhen the momentum to continue to be an actor, and it was this momentum that Wang Zhen was not overwhelmed with the end of "On the Balcony".
After filming "On the Balcony", he worked hard to learn lines and shapes for three months, strengthening his fitness while learning, and learning guitar by the way.
During these three months, he got up on time, went to class, and slept regularly. In such a life routine, he seems to find the joy of being an actor.
Luck has always surrounded Wang Zhen, and at the same time, hard work is also his attitude.
When filming "Crossfire", although it was a special appearance, he also made 100% efforts.
Due to the needs of the role, he had to take a dagger in close combat almost every day, from eight o'clock in the morning to four o'clock in the evening, when he was too involved in the fight, he did not have any consciousness, and after the fight, he found that his hand had long been swollen, and he went to the hospital to check and was judged to be a fracture.
On the one hand, the fracture was broken, and on the other hand, he had to perform a difficult action, and Wang Zhen did not give up but completed the shooting with a plaster cast.
Not a professional actor, but with professionalism, although his debut is only one year, his luck and efforts are far more than his peers.
But the most precious thing in him is talent.
Having not studied acting but knowing how to express emotions, in "Actors Please Seat 2" with just a few complicated looks, directors can see that he can act, this is talent.
Secondly, he is a white paper with strong plasticity, and directors can create more brilliant colors on this white paper.
Finally, Wang Zhen's high degree of recognition is easier for the audience to remember, as the well-known producer said, the recognition is far more useful than looking beautiful.
Wang Zhen can be remembered by the director in many small fresh meats, and seen by the audience, which must be indispensable for the above reasons.
Grandmaster's appreciation of food + his own efforts are enough for an actor to be seen by more people.
Even if there is no Wang Zhen whose background is only high Chinese, these two points alone are enough to be favored by big directors.
Whether it is Li Shaohong, who recommended him, or Zhao Wei and Er Dongsheng, who "guaranteed" him to enter the S level, they did not see Wang Zhen's high Chinese, but plasticity and talent, as well as future development.
Wang Zhen, who has no "coming", talent and hard work are his "coming".
