As the saying goes, "a soldier who doesn't want to be a general is not a good soldier", and in show business, "an actor who doesn't want to be a protagonist is not a good actor".
But there is a person, most of his roles are supporting roles, but his acting skills have overshadowed many protagonists, he is Zhang Shi.
In 1966, Zhang Shi was born in Taiwan, Zhang Shi's father was a soldier, and he had such a precious son in middle age.
Therefore, Zhang Shi's father is very fond of Zhang Shi, but Zhang Shi, who has been mischievous since he was a child, does not have the calmness of his genetic father.
Skipping classes and fighting at school are commonplace, and Zhang's father is invited to the school to talk at both ends of the three days.
Seeing that Zhang Shi was really not interested in reading, the helpless Zhang Father Fei sent Zhang Shi to the Guoguang Drama Art Experimental School.
At that time, the guoguang drama art was no less than that of the current North Shadow, Chinese opera. For this new environment, Zhang Shi is also full of curiosity,
Why are those dance moves so hard? Why are there so many rules in this school? Why can't I skip class here?
How do these female students dressed in flowery and green clothes look so good? These are all questions that Zhang Shi thinks about every day,
On such days, Zhang Shi ushered in his first acting opportunity.
In 1983, when director Hou Xiaoxian started filming the movie "The Man from the Wind Cabinet", the crew came to the Guoguang Art School to select actors.
Zhang Shi's friend Niu Chengze was lucky to be selected, but the movie still lacks several supporting roles.
Niu Chengze, who was angry, thought of his friend Zhang Shi for the first time. So I asked Zhang Shi:
"Do you want to go to the show with me tomorrow?"
Zhang Shi did not hesitate and immediately decided to go with his friends.
This movie mainly tells the story of several adolescent rebellious teenagers, which is definitely the true color for Zhang Shi.
And Director Hou Xiaoxian's shooting style is to let the actors play casually, and they don't know when and where to find a camera.
Many of the clips were done under the director's "secret shooting". But it's also because of this unique way that the film looks more natural.
After the film was broadcast, Zhang Shi's performance also gained a group of fans, and in this way, Zhang Shi, who was just 17 years old, officially debuted.
It was also this experience that made Zhang Shi start to like acting.
The once chaotic little devil king also began to stop and honestly delve into a thing.
In 1989, Zhang Shi starred as a horse boy in the movie "Soaring City",
And this film also has Andy Lau's appearance, but this movie has made Zhang Shi suffer a lot,
There is a scene in the film in the cave, just when there was a heavy rainstorm, the cave was full of water,
Zhang Shi still needed to lie on the floor with stagnant water, but there was no way but to rush up with his scalp.
After the shooting, Zhang Shi's lips were already purple and trembling, but at this time, no one cared about how a supporting role was.
Until a lighting engineer saw Zhang Shi shivering, he turned on a 10,000-watt lamp to warm him, which also made Zhang Shi's heart full of gratitude.
It was also during the filming of "Soaring City" that Zhang Shi met director Wang Tong and participated in the movie "Banana Paradise".
It was also this film that earned him the Golden Horse Award for Best Supporting Actor.
At this time, Zhang Shi was only 23 years old, holding a heavy trophy Zhang Shi felt the charm of acting for the first time.
In 1990, director Wang Zhengfang was filming the movie "The First Date", and Zhang Shi was honed by years of acting skills.
Finally ushered in the first protagonist of his life.
After the film was printed, Zhang Shi also successfully gained some attention, because the filming of this film was completed by the American team.
Zhang Shi saw a lot of high-tech things at the scene, and the shooting techniques were unheard of and unseen.
At this time, Zhang Shi decided to give up his career in Taiwan and go to the United States to break through, but after arriving in the United States,
Zhang Shi found that this place was very different from what he imagined.
Zhang Shi, who had just arrived in the United States, had no resources and no connections, so he could only go to black work with friends and wash dishes in restaurants.
Acting during this time is more like an untouchable dream for Zhang Shi, because every day can not take care of anything but food and clothing.
In such an environment, Zhang Shi stayed in the United States for three years and tasted all kinds of heartache, but life was also lived day after day.
It may be that God can't bear to bury a talent with acting skills, at this time director Huang Jianxin found Zhang Shi,
Invited him to star in the movie "Five Quills".
Zhang Shi also seized this opportunity and immediately returned to Taiwan, with this film,
Zhang Shi won the Rotterdam Film Festival audience vote for best actor, returning to the public's vision again.
At this time, Zhang Shi was favored by Huashi and signed a four-month contract, just when Zhang Shi carefully prepared for this filming, Huashi did not care.
The original 4-month contract, but half of the filming was not completed when the date expired, and Zhang Shi, who was anxious, said to the top management of Huashi:
"You eat and drink all day long, so why don't you come back and get the script?"
When Zhang Shi asked to solve this problem, Huashi felt that Zhang Shi did not give them face, and discussed and decided to "hide" him, and Zhang Shi did not succumb to capital.
In 1999, he began to produce his own unit drama "Listen to the Sound of the Rainbow".
And won the best unit drama, best screenplay, best actor, best music, best cinematography these awards.
The following year, Zhang Shi decided to go to the mainland to develop, and the work that really made Zhang Shi famous in the mainland was the TV series "Pink Girl".
In 2003, a light comedy "Pink Girl" can be said to be popular all over the country, "ten thousand fans" Chen Hao, "marriage maniac" Liu Ruoying is also famous for this drama.
Zhang Shi starred in the play as a landlord who is a bit "colored" but kind-hearted, "Gong Xi".
Surrounded by handsome men and women like Chen Hao, Lu Yi, and Hu Bing, Zhang Shi's appearance did not have any advantage, but he accidentally caught fire.
Although the "congratulations" in the play are usually stingy and stingy, they will still help others at key moments.
And this role bears most of the funny clips in the play, as long as Zhang Shiyi appears, the audience knows that the laughter is coming.
After many years, "Pink Girl" is still the memory of many viewers.
In 2005, Zhang Shi received an invitation from CCTV to star in the TV series "Emperor Wu of Han", in which Zhang Shi played a hypocritical prime minister "Tian Feng".
Can be invited by CCTV, which is enough to prove Zhang Shi's strength.
After the filming of "The Emperor of Han Wu", Zhang Shi found himself more comfortable with costume dramas.
Since then, he has successively starred in the yellow horse coat in "County Order Yellow Horse Coat" and the Big Dipper Star Jun in "The Legend of Zhong Kui".
In 2010, Zhang Shi, Hu Ge, Zhang Meng and other actors starred in the TV series "Myth", and it was this drama that brought Zhang Shi's acting career to the peak.
"You are great, you are high, I don't want people to bully me, I want to chase step by step, step by step to the highest, I want to be a Zhao Gao above ten thousand people under one person"
This clip can be described as a section of Zhang Shi's acting skills exploding, and because this performance is wonderful enough, it is even used as a textbook.
As a villain, it made all the viewers feel painful, and "high" has also become a difficult intention in the hearts of many viewers.
At first glance at "Mythology", I felt that Zhao Gao was ruthless and unjust to the male protagonist "Yi Xiaochuan" played by Hu Ge.
But slowly found that each of us wants to become Yi Xiaochuan, have friends to help at key moments, and have lovers to accompany us for a long time.
But we are all Zhao Gao, climbing forward step by step alone in the tribulations of life.
After "Zhao Gao", Zhang Shi also took over several TV series, but basically the drama red people are not popular,
The audience saw that Zhang Shi only knew to call him "Zhao Gao", but could not call him "Zhang Shi".
Just when the audience was expecting Zhang Shi to have new works, Zhang Shi slowly faded out of the screen.
It turned out that when Zhang Shi was running for his career, Zhang Shi's father died of illness, and Zhang Shi and his father's relationship since childhood was very good.
When Zhang Shi was a child, he could only walk when he was more than one year old, but one day when he heard his father's whistle, Zhang Shi stood up alone and bumped to the entrance of the village to meet his father.
And before his father died, he also thought about his son, because he did not see the last side of his father Zhang Shi has always felt guilty,
Even mentioning Dad is a pain in my heart.
After much thought, Zhang Shi decided to return to Taiwan to spend time with his family, and in a later interview. Zhang Shi also said that during the fading out of the entertainment industry,
In the company of my mother and wife, I have been learning new things, and my life is also very moist and comfortable.
Zhang Shi appeared in the audience's field of vision again because of the movie "Manslaughter 2", because the official account of "Manslaughter 2" released a movie tidbit on the platform.
In the tidbit, Zhang Shi said 123 words of lines in one breath in 27 seconds, and the whole performance was smooth,
The sense of rhythm is also very well controlled, and it is possible to see a lot of people, which shows that Zhang Shi's skills are very deep.
Many people say that watching Zhang Shi acting is a kind of enjoyment, because his acting skills are too natural and there is no trace at all.
It was as if everything that was happening was what he was experiencing.
In Zhang Shi's life, his wife is completely the woman behind Zhang Shi, and Zhang Shi's wife is his early agent - Jenny,
The long-term cooperation has made the two people fall in love for a long time, and after 14 years of love and long-distance running, they have entered the palace of marriage.
During the time when Zhang Shi was working outside, his wife Zhan Wanni took care of Zhang Dad and Zhang Mama at home, running their small home.
Even if he has been in a different place for many years, he has not complained, and Zhang Shi has not failed his wife, knowing that her wife likes pastoral life.
Zhang Shi, who returned to Taiwan, contracted 900 square meters of farmland with his wife, usually planting melons, watering flowers, and life is also sweet and sweet.
The death of his father was a big blow to Zhang Shi, and Zhang Shi was more willing to accompany his family at this time.
Acting may be because of love, but family is a responsibility.
We also believe that gold will shine, and Zhang Shi will get better and better.
