A "Crazy Race", holding Zhang Songwen on the "altar", and in a blink of an eye, Zhang Yi was "stepped on the soles of his feet"

A "Crazy Race" at the beginning of 2023 swept the screen as a dark horse, and the audience was poisoned by the underworld boss "Gao Qiqiang".

In the blink of an eye, "Crazy" has come to an end, and the story in the play stops at the moment when the "Gao Qiqiang" gang is subdued and justice finally triumphs.

And the story outside the play has just begun.

"Crazy" is a drama with two male protagonists, with "Gao Qiqiang" played by Zhang Songwen and "An Xin" played by Zhang Yi as the context of the story.

I believe that many audiences who have watched the play are more impressed by Zhang Songwen's "Gao Qiqiang", in addition to the reason why Zhang Songwen's acting skills are good, the more important point is that Zhang Songwen's character is fuller and more three-dimensional than Zhang Yi's character.

Zhang Yi's "Anxin" is a policeman who has insisted on fighting against the underworld forces for more than 20 years in pursuit of justice, with a glorious image, and there is not much room for the role to play, and it is flatter.

On the contrary, Zhang Songwen's "Gao Qiqiang", from a bullied fish seller to a black boss covering the sky with one hand, has a stronger story and drama, growing up step by step from ordinary people, the role has a clear turning period, and the audience is more likely to be moved.

After the fire of "Rage", there was a constant discussion about the two leading actors, and it was more common to be compared together.

However, the trend of things quickly changed, one was held on the "altar", the other was almost constantly splashed with dirty water, and even "everyone shouted and beaten", and Zhang Yi became the object of this trampling.

Back to the beginning of the matter, when the audience's discussion was still around the acting skills of the two leading actors. Obviously, everyone was amazed by Zhang Songwen, before that, he was at most a powerful middle-aged actor who had left an impression on the public, and his influence was really limited.

And Zhang Yi is already a trophy actor in hand, and he became famous earlier, and he has already emerged in "My Regiment Leader My Regiment", and in recent years, he has frequently cooperated with big directors, becoming the "fragrant glutton" in the film industry, and almost becoming Zhang Yimou's "royal male protagonist".

In this year's Spring Festival movie "Manjiang Red", Zhang Yi dressed in a green robe, stood tall, and played a somewhat evil role, which won a wave of praise.

Originally, the audience was more looking forward to Zhang Yi, but I didn't expect Zhang Songwen to stand out, but it set off Zhang Yi "bleak", and many viewers criticized Zhang Yi for acting like everything, and his acting skills were overestimated.

When the audience expressed their opinions, some netizens dug up the comments of professionals, and the teacher of the Chinese opera said that Zhang Yi's role was actually more difficult, because there was not much room to play.

However, this has caused some netizens to be disgusted, feeling that they are "saving respect" for Zhang Yi, Zhang Yi's acting skills are not matched with his status, and Zhang Songwen is the biggest highlight in this drama.

Obviously, the acting skills of the two are good, and it is precisely because of the careful performance of the two that they have brought such a wonderful work to the audience, but the fans of the two actors have begun to "fight".

Since then, the war has extended from acting skills to the actor's character and salary, Zhang Songwen's reputation has climbed step by step, and Zhang Yi's reputation has fallen to the bottom.

Let's start with the character issue, which revolves around the attitude of the two male actors towards women. Zhang Songwen was praised for being "good upbringing", from helping Gao Ye, the "sister-in-law" who was still a small mush coffee, to solving the siege for Li Meng, who was questioned as a "drama bully", Zhang Songwen reflected his demeanor and kindness.

Zhang Yi was questioned about insulting women, misogyny, etc., and someone dug up his speech when he participated in a variety show in 2013, revealing to the big guys how "vulgar" the actor's speech was, and Zhang Yi's reputation was damaged.

However, the actual situation is that Zhang Yi apologized for this incident in 2017, and explained that he said this to make the show funny, did not bully others, and apologized for his indiscriminate words.

There are many actresses "supporting" Zhang Yi, even the members of the "Fairy Society" at that time also helped Zhang Yi speak, actress Wang Luodan also said that Zhang Yi is a "friend of women", if a man misogynistic and insulting, I am afraid that there are no more actresses to help speak.

Back in 2023, there are still people who use this to attack Zhang Yi's character, actress Liu Yase said that when she wanted to cooperate with Zhang Yi, there were netizens "kindly" mentioning whether they wanted to become a member of the "fairy club", which shows how deeply rooted this statement is.

However, the rumors are like weeds, the explanation is of little use, a little spark ignited, soon uncontrollable, Zhang Yi's character, then "pickpocketed", soon related to the drama bully.

The reason is that after the fire of "Crazy", the leading actors and supporting actors have all left the "business", Zhang Songwen, Gao Ye and other actors have interacted with netizens on social platforms, which is very lively and kind.

On the other hand, Zhang Yi, who is also the protagonist, seems a little "abnormal", except for one dynamic related to "Crazy", the rest are all his film works "Manjiang Hong".

It is said that Zhang Yi has focused on the direction of movies over the years, and has not promoted TV series much; Some statements point to Zhang Yi and the crew "falling out".

After the finale of "Crazy", Zhang Yi deleted the only dynamic about the show, completely provoked the matter of falling out with the crew, and the dispute between the two parties also surfaced.

It is said that the two leading actors of "Crazy" before were Zhang Yi as "Gao Qiqiang", Yang Yang as "An Xin", Zhang Yi even wrote a short biography of the character of "Gao Qiqiang", as a result, Yang Yang resigned because of schedule problems, Zhang Songwen entered the game, and as a result, because Zhang Songwen's performance was more in line with the director's expectations, Zhang Yi was forced to become "An Xin".

Zhang Yi and the director's "not to deal with" began here, but both of them are for the better presentation of the work, and it is normal to make some contradictions, and from the final effect of "Crazy", neither party has affected the level of the TV series because of personal grudges.

But after the end of the play, Zhang Yi cut off the table with the crew: the crew's celebration banquet did not go, and various topics of "Crazy" did not participate, and so on.

However, many netizens seized on this point and looked for explanations for Zhang Yi's "unsociability", and soon various "breaking news" were dug up, some people said that Zhang Yi was not only a bully, but also careful eyes, bad temper, and arbitrarily changed the script.

Even the supporting actors in "Crazy" also stood up and stamped Zhang Yi's "not easy to mess with", feeling that he arbitrarily deleted his own scenes, resulting in himself not being seen by the audience, and there were yin and yang sentences between words from time to time, which verified the "guesses" of netizens.

However, soon the actress "hit herself in the face" and issued an apology saying that her words had brought ambiguity to everyone, and it could be seen that she wanted to take advantage of the fact that everyone did not like Zhang Yi to rub the heat.

This is not the end, there are also netizens who dug up some of Zhang Yi's plays many years ago to prove that he is an actor with bad character and difficult to engage, what forcibly adds drama to himself, and the actors who cooperate are unwilling to cooperate and so on.

But is that really the case? Not. Many rival actors say that Zhang Yi is "difficult", in fact, because Zhang Yi has high requirements for the play, not only is he a drama maniac, but also requires the opponent actors to output high standards.

In "Crazy", there are many actors who talk about Zhang Yi, full of admiration. Zhang Songwen said that a very stunning play was Zhang Yi's idea.

There are also supporting actors who say that Zhang Yi specializes in telling them plays and doing character biographies, so the audience will remember the supporting characters in "Crazy" so deeply, it can be said that Zhang Yi fills a lot of flesh and blood of supporting characters, such as "Li Xiang" and "Li Biao".

In addition to the opponent actor's "difficult" and higher requirements, this is actually the audience's luck, it is precisely because of a strict actor like Zhang Yi, who not only pays attention to himself, but also pays attention to the entire crew, so that the overall work is presented so complete.

However, it is precisely from this aspect that it can be seen that the contradiction between Zhang Yi and the director lies, which may be precisely because Zhang Yi "crossed the line" and "pointed fingers" at the work of the director, which led to the disagreement between the two and thus collapsed.

It can be said that the previous "pouring dirty water" on Zhang Yi's character is actually unreasonable, but these are not finished, some people have created rumors about Zhang Yi's salary.

There is news that Zhang Yi's salary is about 30 million, but Zhang Songwen, who is also the protagonist, is only 350,000, which is a particularly large difference.

(Zhang Songwen said in an interview earlier about the low salary of actors)

Therefore, some audiences "hold grievances" with Zhang Songwen, exaggerating Zhang Songwen's acting skills, while belittling Zhang Yi's acting skills, and secretly rubbing to express Zhang Yi's meaning of "virtue is not worthy of position".

Soon a producer came out to "crack down on counterfeiting", saying that Zhang Songwen's salary was about 5 million, and after "Crazy", it would rise to about 10 million, and Zhang Yi was on the front line, the salary was about 20 million, there was no room for price increases, and the rumors stopped.

It can be said that whether it is acting skills, character or salary, Zhang Yi proved that he was "poured dirty water" and "buttoned his hat", which is really a big misunderstanding for a good actor who acts conscientiously.
