It is very common for singers to change careers as actors, but the appearance of Zhang Yao is not outstanding, and there are not many singers who give up their status as a hot singer to become actors.
When zhang Yao's name is mentioned, some people know that she is a singer, but not many people know that she is an actress.
Why did she give up her status as a well-known singer and start acting from scratch, and how did she successfully transform into an actress with an ordinary appearance?
When she was a child, she did not perform on stage very boldly as she does now, but was a very introverted girl.
In the early days, she did not live with her mother, but with her father in the military compound in Beijing.
Girls at this time is the age when they need to communicate their hearts with their mothers but have not been helped, their fathers will never pay attention to the careful thinking of these girls, for a long time careful thinking is held in the heart, after getting used to it, she becomes less like to talk.
Zhang Yao can not go out to play for a week and not communicate with people, and after relatives come to the family, she does not like to express herself.
Her father very much hoped that Zhang Yao would express himself, and always asked her to perform in front of her relatives, and Zhang Yao's face would be red.
His father, who has developed artistic cells, hopes that Zhang Yao can also engage in art work like him in the future, and he feels that Zhang Yao is not so introverted, so he looks for opportunities to exercise her.
Forced her to learn a variety of instruments, at that time she did not like these things, each instrument only know a little bit of skin.
In middle school, Zhang Yao liked to listen to records, and once she couldn't help but sing a song to her father, and since then, she has been forced to participate in various singing competitions.
It was she who sang from small to large, laying the foundation for her to win the championship in "New Audiovisual", she was not afraid of the stage at all, plus several years of singing skills, it was easy to win the championship with a song "With You".
She said she was grateful to her father.
Who would have thought that the first person in "New Audiovisual" would have studied not music but ballet and dance in college.
When she entered college, her professional courses were not as good as others, but she very much wanted to enter this school, so she could only choose the curve to save the country, first choosing ballet and then switching to music, and then things did not go so smoothly.
Independent, she took advantage of her spare time to sing, she could only go to the bar to sing, from freshman year to graduation, she sang in the bar for a total of five years.
Although she also sang in the nightclub after graduation, she was not discouraged, the salary of the resident singer was very high, and she was a super rich person in the class at that time.
Just at the nightclub stationed singing accidentally met the director of "New Audiovisual", he heard Zhang Yao's singing, impressed her, but also because of his recommendation, Zhang Yao signed up for the "New Audiovisual" competition.
Although the ballet major did not add to his career, Chen Ke also studied ballet, which allowed her to meet her future husband.
This award made her completely famous, and the following year she won the Best Newcomer Award at the CCTV Music Festival, which can be described as a singer who debuted as a fire.
An accident occurred just when she thought it would be better, and she never released an album for the next three years.
Until the fourth year, Zhang Yao's newly signed company decided to let her return to the peak, spent a lot of money to produce an album for her, and then did not expect that the "Super Girl" program came out, so that her album was completely buried.
She felt very guilty, the company invested a lot of money for her, but did not reap the corresponding profits, and became suspicious of herself.
Zhang Yao realized that the times had changed, and her singing voice could no longer cater to the audience's preferences.
At this time, she began to shake her original intention of being a singer, which also laid the groundwork for her career change.
No one could have imagined that Zhang Yao, who was not good-looking, wanted to act, her face was very small, and her long neck gave people a very incongruous vision.
Boyfriend Chen Ke also teased her: "A good singer may not be a good actor, I don't believe you can become a good actor."
Zhang Yao, who is very assertive, does not listen to anyone's advice, and wants to try it, she thinks that I have not yet acted, how do I know that acting is not good.
Heaven gave her this opportunity, and he met Gu Changwei's new movie "Li Chun" and just needed a role, this role is Gao Beibei.
The role of Gao Beibei has to sacrifice more than other characters, and many famous actors are reluctant to try this role, because Gao Beibei in the play is a bald girl.
This role does not have high requirements for appearance, Zhang Yao feels that this is a good opportunity, so she volunteered to play this role.
Gu Changwei saw her determination, and also felt that it was very suitable for this role to let her try, relying on this drama, she opened up the road of the showbiz circle, and this year did not dare to rest and took on the second play.
Zhang Yao, who has just entered the road of acting, is thinking about acting and has no heart to think about other things.
Zhang Yao, who has been acting for two years, did not change careers to usher in the second fire.
But she ushered in her own love, her boyfriend is Chen Ke is the CEO of Poly Acting Agency.
Two people have known each other for many years, but they all get along as friends, just because they have maintained the state of friends for a long time, they are still like friends after falling in love.
Once, Zhang Yao was on the phone with Chen Ke in the crew, and the crew joked that they didn't look like lovers like brothers.
Chen Ke once suddenly invited Zhang Yao to drink coffee, this time the coffee is different from before, only the two of them, this is Chen Ke invited her alone, Chen Ke realized that he is not a simple feeling between friends for Zhang Yao, and wants to use this coffee opportunity to make their relationship rise from friends to lovers.
The relationship between the two people lasted only 340 days, Chen Ke only wanted to fall in love with Zhang Yao and had not thought about getting married, but Zhang Yao felt that the relationship between the two people was ultimately unstable.
So she forced Chen Ke to marry her and told him that he wanted to get married, and Chen Ke hesitated and said that he should consider it.
Zhang Yao said yes, his consideration is 30 days, and Zhang Yao, who can't bear it, decided to take the initiative to talk to him: "You have been thinking about it for a month, why can't you be happy, OK or not, you should give a letter, if you don't want to settle, you can find another one, anyway, your conditions are very good."
It was such a blunt remark that made Chen Ke realize that his feelings for Zhang Yao were the kind that wanted to spend his life, and let him go to find another girl, he was really reluctant.
After so many years, why did Zhang Yao suddenly propose to get married?
At that time, Zhang Yao's age was not small, on the one hand, her parents had been urging her to marry, and on the other hand, her friends were worried about her.
Chen Ke just fell in love with her, girls are not like boys, the golden time is only those years, in case Chen Ke meets a better girl in a few years, then where will her status be placed.
Zhang Yao, who was still filming "Fashion Female Editor", was unwilling to quit the drama and get married, until the day of receiving the license, he took leave to go back to marriage.
Married and did not have time for honeymoon, all used in filming, after filming this drama Zhang Yao did not take over the scene.
This is the Waterloo of her acting career, and her schedule has been empty during this time.
Zhang Yao took advantage of this time to go out alone to relax.
Acting in so many plays has not improved, so Zhang Yao doubted whether her original choice was correct, and she decided to return to the music scene, acting and singing with both hands.
After returning, Zhang Yao signed a contract with Chinese Entertainment to launch her own album, after all, Chen Ke's connections are still very wide, although she has not sung for many years, but signing is not a difficult thing for her, plus she is indeed an excellent singer before, and the strength has always been there.
In the same year, Zhao Wei came to her to shoot a play, which was "To Youth".
When acting in the play to youth, Zhang Yao treats every shot very hard and will do her homework the night before. When she can't cry, she thinks about her sad things.
She loves to the extent of her work, in order not to affect the work, she has always been repulsive to the matter of having children, she feels that children must take time to take care of after birth, and her acting career has not yet developed.
Zhang Yao became more and more obsessed with acting, and getting married did not slow down her pace of filming, and in the next few years, she frequently took over the scene.
Until 2020, the TV series "New World" made her years of efforts pay off.
In the play she played Wang Baohui, let the audience impressed her, when filming this play, Zhang Yao was slapped eight times in order to have a real dramatic effect, which is not nothing, more seriously, there was a scene in the play, three actors fought, she was one of them, in the process of fighting, she broke her fingers and did not notice.
It wasn't until the night that her fingers began to swell and she realized that the injury was not so minor before going to the hospital for examination.
When the reporter asked about it, she also said with a look of disbelief: "This is a mystery, and I don't know why it suddenly broke."
Zhang Yao, who broke his finger, did not feel sorry for his hand for the first time, but worried about being replaced because he was injured.
She said: "Thank you Chen Ke for accompanying her to the hospital at night."
Now Zhang Yao feels very satisfied with her life, has a happy family, and has her own career.
But she said she will continue to act, the pace of filming will not stop, in order to achieve this goal, she rarely sprinkles dog food with her husband.
She said: "Busy filming".
