There is no shortage of actors in the entertainment industry, and various styles and types grab a big hand, and even the singer Aidou has to shoot a piece of the pie.
It is precisely because of this that in the entertainment industry, powerful actors have no place for themselves, and there is no place for them.
Zhang Tong is a very powerful actor, who has participated in countless classic works since entering the entertainment industry, including "Secret Order 1949", "A Generation of Great Merchant Meng Luochuan", "Wild Duck" and other wonderful works.
Every work, every role, Zhang Tong carefully interpreted, leaving a deep impression on the audience.
However, in recent years, the works starring Zhang Tong can hardly be seen in the circle, and they seem to have disappeared.
In fact, the disappearance of Zhang Tong is the sadness of the entertainment industry.
Zhang Tong, born in 1981, to an ordinary family in Tianjin.
Zhang Tong's family is not particularly rich, but he will give his son the best life. However, due to the compulsion of life, his parents moved with Zhang Tong and also transferred to another primary school.
In the new school, Zhang Tong was not familiar with life. In the face of this transferred student, the classmates were also very strange not to play with him.
Zhang Tong's life in primary school is not very good, no one speaks, and he does not take the initiative to communicate, between classes and physical education classes, I often see him sitting alone.
Zhang Tong did not tell his parents about this matter, and his state was good after going to school. However, on days when no one was playing together, he came into contact with performance.
Zhang Tong can watch TV and imitate various characters, and he is very potential in this regard, and seems to have found another self.
In college, Zhang Tong was not interested in the computers he studied, preferred acting more, and had the urge to learn acting.
Zhang Tong told his family about this idea, but he did not get support, after all, there was no one in the family, and now he also has a good university.
Zhang Tong is like a demon, no matter what the situation, he has to go to France to study acting, and eventually his parents sell the house and lend money to their son to pay for tuition and car fares.
However, the choice of this road is unknown, and some people have advised Zhang Tong's parents to seriously consider that if the investment fails, the family has nothing, and Zhang Tong's pressure is very large.
And Zhang Tong saw that his parents raised money for themselves, and his heart was very uncomfortable, and he still needed his parents to worry about being so old.
In any case, Zhang Tong wants to return from school, become an excellent actor, let his parents live a good life, and live in a big house.
In this way, Zhang Tong went to the Lyon Academy of Arts and Drama in France to study acting, and was admitted to graduate school.
Before Zhang Tong was a school bully, learning to perform Zhang Tong was also a school bully, and was very talented. During his study abroad, he did not ask his family for money, most of it was earned by himself, as long as he gave money and went to any job, he should experience life.
After learning acting, Zhang Tong found his own value and meaning, lived the life he wanted, and left no regrets.
Therefore, in order to shoot wonderful works, Zhang Tong carefully studied the script and studied the performance.
When he first came to France, there were many obstacles during the communication period because of the different languages, and he also worked very hard to learn French, and he could communicate well with his classmates.
Zhang Tong is very popular in France with his love of acting, and if the school holds an event, it will let him participate and exercise his practical ability.
Every time Zhang Tong took it seriously, played every role well, and often heard teachers and classmates praise him.
It is only in France that studying in Zhang Tong is very smooth, but not necessarily in China, although art has no borders, but it also has many different places.
Zhang Tong knows this well, and will combine Chinese and Western arts to form a set of his own performance system. In any case, he will do enough preparation and research before filming.
For a role, Zhang Tong can experience life many months in advance. With such a mentality, he is very confident and believes that he will break out of the world in China.
After graduation, Zhang Tong can't wait to return to China, but the development in China is not as simple as he imagined, and he is very difficult in the early stage like other newcomer actors, and even to the point where there is no drama to shoot.
In 2002, Zhang Tong entered the entertainment circle very confidently, but there was very little opportunity for him to shoot without fame, and he even needed to play by himself, and it was possible not to use him.
Zhang Tong is very anxious, because he spent all the family's money in France, and he hopes to shoot more dramas, make more money, and let his parents live in a big house as soon as possible.
Originally, Zhang Tong thought that he was a returnee and would be very popular, but reality hit him in the face. Soon he recognized his current situation, although he went abroad to study, but there are also many deficiencies, need to learn from the predecessors.
Zhang Tong should take the initiative to find resources, but he has not yet met the director's face and refused to go out, once he sees this name, he does not know it at all, and the director will not give him a chance.
In order to live and accumulate experience, Zhang Tong will go to run the dragon set, and any role will be played. But for almost the type of role, he played it once, to find a suitable performance and role for himself.
After experiencing any role, Zhang Tong can also better understand the role. It is this spirit that Zhang Tong, who runs the dragon set, is finally seen by the director and praises his good performance.
With the right opportunity, the director will find Zhang Tong to participate, although it is also a humble role, but he will be better than the group after all.
On the set, although Zhang Tong did not have a lot of shots, he acted very well, even on par with the main actor, and some directors also asked him not to be so good.
Zhang Tong is a little helpless, after all, as long as acting gives play to his own advantages, there is no good scene to shoot.
Later, Zhang Tong famously participated in "Flowers And Sounds" in the play, but it did not help his career much.
Even after this play, there was no drama to shoot for nearly 3 years.
Before 2005, Zhang Tong began to think about whether he was suitable for acting or not, and whether he chose this path correctly. In particular, parents have suffered a lot for their sons to learn acting.
Zhang Tong was very distressed about his parents, he thought he could let them live a good life, but he didn't expect to return to China to develop such a situation and did not make money at all, and began to doubt himself.
And the people around Zhang Tong told him that he should stick to it, and he can definitely make good works, that is, gold will shine one day. This sentence gave him a lot of motivation.
Zhang Tong also realized that his ideas were not right, and he should not shoot for the purpose of making money, but to shoot for the sake of making good works.
When there are works again, Zhang Tong studies the role more hard than before, and gets the starring work.
Zhang Tong starred with Huo Siyan, Zheng Guolin and Jiang Xin in "Seven Fairies of Happy Heaven and Joy". The show was so popular after it aired that viewers watched it on time every day.
Even if this drama has been broadcast, it will be played repeatedly in the future, and the ratings are not low each time, so Jiang Xin and Huo Siyan and others have received attention.
Although Zhang Tong's popularity is not as high as theirs, but to open their own acting market, roles with good roles suitable for the first time will find him.
Zhang Tong also filmed wonderful works such as "Bright Sword" and "Secret Order 1949", and he was very serious during filming, and even if he was injured, he would insist on filming.
But in order to pursue the real effect of such a war scene, the props are real, and if you are not careful, there will be mistakes, and once he hurt his eyes.
After Zhang Tong was well, he threw himself into his work and acted seriously. However, such an attitude is sometimes questioned by the director that the acting skills are not good and the attitude is not serious.
Zhang Tong's heart was very uncomfortable, but no matter how much he was wronged, he swallowed it, he would not take it out to tell, do not win sympathy, but rely on his own strength.
However, such an excellent Zhang Tong will one day be seen.
By 2018, Zhang Tong has been developing in the entertainment industry for 16 years, during which he has participated in countless wonderful works and made some money.
Zhang Tong's life with his parents is getting better and better, and the first money he earns is to buy a house for his parents and complete one of his wishes.
Next, Zhang Tong can put all his mind on acting and want to take his career to a higher level. However, this opportunity came a little longer, and he seized it firmly.
In 2016, Zhang Tong was invited to star in "Desperate Defender Division", and after reading the script, he was very satisfied, no matter how much he was paid.
In order to shoot this role well, Zhang Tong used to understand the history, go to the local area to understand the culture of the time, and apply it to his own performances.
Such an important role, Zhang Tong only has one goal is to play well and let more people know about this character.
At that time, when filming this drama, CCTV reported that Zhang Tong could not shoot badly.
Therefore, during the whole shooting process, Zhang Tong was very nervous, often discussed with the director, and would ask the director whether the shooting was ok, and the director felt that he was not satisfied with the shooting, and wanted to re-shoot and strive for excellence.
However, this play was very popular after it was broadcast, and Zhang Tong's interpretation of Chen Shuxiang was very classic.
Two years later, Zhang Tong won the Feitian Award for Outstanding Actor with this role, and was the first post-80s actor to win the Feitian Award for Outstanding Actor.
At the moment of winning the award, Zhang Tong said with tears in his eyes that he had finally survived for more than ten years, and he did not live up to the expectations and support of his parents, and thanked them very much.
After that, Zhang Tong's acting career went to a higher level.
Since winning the award, Zhang Tong's career has reached its peak, receiving a variety of scripts, but these scripts are highly paid for him.
For Zhang Tong, the temptation is very large. However, he did not shoot dramas randomly because of this, only good works will participate in the performance, and he has successively received good works.
However, these dramas did not bring great influence to Zhang Tong, until he participated in "The Age of Awakening" to find the door to change the status quo.
This is a historical drama about some things before, the requirements for the role are very high, Zhang Tong was selected to participate in Li Dazhao.
Zhang Tong, who just got the script, still felt that he was not worthy, after all, such an important role. Since he still has the strength and self-confidence to act, to understand Li Dazhao's past and understand the environment at that time.
Zhang Tong will also discuss Li Dazhao with the people around him, but these are helpful to him. Other actors have played this role before, and he has repeatedly watched it, watching the audience's evaluation and learning from experience.
In the end, Li Dazhao, played by Zhang Tong, is very classic, and "The Age of Awakening" is also very good-looking, and he cooperates with Hewei and others very well.
Some viewers even think that Zhang Tong's performance of Li Dazhao's essence is a more similar actor in history. He was very happy to hear these words, which was a recognition of his acting skills.
It's just that after this play, it is reasonable to say that Zhang Tong's career should be getting better and better, received several plays, and disappeared in the entertainment industry not long after, and his works could hardly be seen, not even supporting roles.
However, I saw Zhang Tong's figure on the drama stage.
In 2021, Zhang Tong received more attention because of Li Dazhao, who participated in "The Age of Awakening", and also because of the attention within the system, the National Theatre of China.
After entering the entertainment industry for so many years, Zhang Tong is a person with unstable work, making money when there is a drama shooting, no income without drama shooting, but now he has a stable job or does what he likes.
Tian Qinxin, president of the National Theatre of China, introduced Zhang Tong, and since then he has become a drama actor and began to perform on the drama stage.
In fact, Zhang Tong as an actor is very advocating the drama stage, although it is also acting, but the drama requirements are very high, which is to test the ability of the actor alone.
When he learned of this news, Zhang Tong was very surprised, and he preferred the drama stage to acting.
Especially now that there are not many good scripts in the entertainment industry, I don't know if it will be his turn to act in a good play in a few years, and you can't worry about it on the drama stage.
Zhang Tong can always do what he likes, and he can also improve his performance ability on the drama stage. After entering the National Drama Theatre, he began to act in dramas.
Although Zhang Tong can also be invited, but the book is not good, he will not act and start acting in dramas, so he cannot see Zhang Tong in the entertainment industry.
In fact, if the entertainment industry has a good book, it will not let Zhang Tong disappear and choose the drama stage. As long as he has a good book, he is also willing to grasp both drama and acting.
It's just that the purpose of filming in the entertainment industry has changed, just to make money, if there is no traffic, all of them are played by powerful actors, and they are not the same as the high degree of attention.
The entertainment industry does not dare to take this risk, which causes Zhang Tong to often appear on the drama stage and is not in the entertainment circle, which is a pity and sad thing.
Zhang Tong is a powerful and excellent actor, no matter the size of the role, various styles are handy, and it is precisely because of the attitude that he brings many wonderful works to the audience.
Zhang Tong loves acting and loves acting, but now there is no stage for him to play in the entertainment industry, and good works can't turn him at all, and the first time he gave traffic stars.
In order to make money, the current entertainment industry basically does not shoot high-quality works, and even likes to shoot some idol dramas, and xianxia dramas attract fans.
And Zhang Tong will not act in such a work at all, the quality is not high, and he cannot see such a script. Gradually, there were no works suitable for him in the entertainment industry, and gradually disappeared on the big screen.
Zhang Tong has brought many classic works to the audience, but there are few classic dramas in the entertainment industry now, most of which were filmed before, and one of the reasons is that actors like him have disappeared.
If a powerful actor like Zhang Tong does not have a drama, there will be no good works in the entertainment industry, which is a very sad thing.
I hope Zhang Tong can come out more to shoot scenes.
