"Chang'an Black Tea, Gan Tangyi, Shiqiao Tu, Hall of All Beings, Huangmei Killing, Dragon God, Human Face Flower, Sangtian Tower" The recent large-scale costume detective suspense drama "Tang Dynasty Strange Story" has ended. There has been no such cool costume suspense drama for a long time after "Detective Di Renjie".

Stills from Yang Zhigang, a record of Tang Dynasty anecdotes
Yang Zhigang, the fourth son in the family, was born because his mother was not in good health and had more than a child, and he could not get to the family's household registration, so he was inherited to his uncle who always wanted to have children, and took his mother's surname "Yang". Several other brothers take their father's surname "Guo", including Guo Jingyu, the "brother director" who now helps him a lot.
Although he graduated from the Beijing Film Academy with a bachelor's degree, he could not receive a play for a long time because his voice was too slow, so Yang Zhigang was very distressed and fell into a long period of self-denial. It was during this period that Yang Zhigang suffered from more serious depression, and according to Yang Zhigang's own account, a large part of the reason why he spoke slowly was formed during this time. After a long time, this made his brother, who was a director, unbearable, so he first let Yang Zhigang follow his crew to play from a small person and slowly train him.
The experience of these years has been a very important few years for Yang Zhigang himself, and in recent years, he has gradually got rid of self-denial that there is no drama to film, and concentrated on following his brother Guo Jingyu. And Guo Jingyu also cares about this younger brother, thinks about him everywhere, and even spends 13 years to choose a TV series suitable for his younger brother from various scripts and roles in order to praise him. Yang Zhigang is also very competitive.
In the first few dramas, everyone criticized his way of saying, saying that his dramas are only suitable for the elderly who are slow to respond. This made Yang Zhigang fall into the trough of his life. Faced with his line problem that was questioned by many people, he was also troubled, so he found his teacher Qi Shilong hoping to get help, and Teacher Qi said at the time that "every actor should have his own charm, and lines like yours are your charm, even if you don't look at the screen, hear it, you know it's you." This made Yang Zhigang deeply happy, slowly accepted the fact that he spoke slowly, and concentrated on acting.
