Recently, there has been a lot of news about post-95 actor Zhang Xincheng:
In addition to the TV series "Light Abyss", adapted from the high-scoring suspense novel "Silent Reading", the movie "So Many Years" starring him and Sun Qian is also about to be released.
In the complicated news, the public's evaluation of Zhang Xincheng is mixed:
In "Light Abyss", because the shape is too greasy and the plot is changed indiscriminately, the spit is not small;
"So Many Years" is the finale of the "Zhenhua Four Parts", although the expectations are high, but because he previously perfectly presented the role of Lin Yang in "Hello, Old Time", now replaced by the role of Li Ran, the audience called "jumping the scene"!
But in fact, since his debut in 2013 and his popularity in 2017 with the role of "Lin Yang", Zhang Xincheng has been breaking through himself, but he still has a long way to go to get to the position of an excellent actor.
1. Scumbags vs Xueba
Although he has a face that is many times superior to ordinary people, Zhang Xincheng in his early years was not a "proud son of heaven".
He was born in a very ordinary family in Jingzhou, Hubei Province, and his father has been in business, although he is not particularly rich, but he has not delayed the cultivation of his son in his early years.
Therefore, Zhang Xincheng began to learn piano, vocal music, dance, etc. at a very young age, perhaps because the interest class took up too much time, so his academic performance was not good.
Once he scored only 26 points in a 150-point math paper, and he was often beaten by his mother because of his poor grades.
When he was 12 or 3 years old, in order to "escape" from his parents' discipline, Zhang Xincheng had the idea of going to Beijing to learn dance, and he was also supported by his parents.
Fortunately, he was 1 year younger than his peers, who successfully passed the exam, enrolled in Hokumai, and began the days of counterattack.
Because of the different regions, the difficulty of the exam has decreased, Zhang Xincheng's academic performance has skyrocketed, and professional courses are not a problem.
At the age of 14, he already had the experience of his debut: occasionally he would shoot some children's channel skits to earn some extra money.
But there was a stage when Zhang Xincheng ushered in a period of voice change, his advantages in singing gradually disappeared, and his cultural and dance courses began to stop being top-notch.
The parents were worried about their son, so they moved to Beijing to accompany him, but the good times did not last long, and when he was preparing for the college entrance examination, his father suddenly owed 300,000 yuan for investment.
This is a lot of pressure for Zhang Xincheng, who is preparing to go to film school - because studying art requires a lot of financial support, and he even considered giving up his major.
In the end, it was his mother who was relieved and comforted, only allowing him to "go forward boldly, don't regret it, don't look back."
The mother, who used to live as a full-time wife, went to the supermarket near the rented house alone to do odd jobs, earning 900 yuan a month, all of which was used for her son's living expenses.
Seeing his parents working so hard for himself, Zhang Xincheng studied harder.
Finally, in the college entrance examination that year, he obtained a good score of 560 points in the cultural course, and the professional course was also the first.
It is said that at that time, Zhang Xincheng received admission letters from 4 schools, and he was the first in professional courses, so he was called "Four Schools Champion" after becoming famous.
In the end, Zhang Xincheng chose the Department of Chinese Opera Musical.
Although he did well in the college entrance examination, he never relaxed after the exam:
During the holiday after graduating from high school, he still put his resume in various crews, looking forward to getting some work experience, in addition to accumulating a sense of lens, he mainly wanted to make money to subsidize his family.
After entering the Chinese opera, Zhang Xincheng became the first student in the class to open a training class, and after a long time, he recalled that he was still complacent: "I am the richer people in our class."
After becoming famous, someone came out to break the news that Zhang Xincheng had a girlfriend shortly after enrollment.
The other party's name is Wang Yijin, 1 year younger than him, his original name is Wang Yunxuan, and he graduated from the Dance Academy.
She is a child star and hosted the children's program "Sunshine Fast Lane" on satellite TV in her hometown in her early years, which was recognized by the audience.
Later, she was admitted to Beiwu, met and fell in love with Zhang Xincheng, and debuted with her solo single "Fenghuayuan Dream" in 2016.
Wang Yijin is currently in Yang Mi's Jiaxing, and once played Lin Miaomiao's roommate Liang Yunshu in "Youth Pi".
2. Small fresh meat vs old cadres
Compared with Wang Yijin's tepidness, Zhang Xincheng has been fighting hard after entering the industry.
He debuted in 2013 with the movie "School Bus", and after being admitted to Chinese opera, he successfully signed a contract with Tianyu Media, and successively starred in works such as "Love Shuttle Millennium 2: Exchange in the Moonlight" and "The Strongest Male God".
Until 2017, Zhang Xincheng played the role of "Little Sun" Lin Yang in "Hello, Old Time", one of the "Zhenhua Four Parts" in Chang'an in August, which was concerned by the audience.
This is the image of "August Chang'an's own son" in the mouth of the original fan:
Lin Yang is sunny, quiet, single-minded, and warm, shining like a small sun on the heroine Yu Zhouzhou.
Zhang Xincheng, who was 22 years old at the time, interpreted the 17-year-old Lin Yang vividly, full of youthful feeling, and became the "white moonlight" in the hearts of thousands of girls.
Because of the CP feeling with Li Randi, who plays the heroine Yu Zhouzhou in the play, he was also shouted by many fans: "Together!" ”
But at that time, many fans also picked it up that Zhang Xincheng's true daughter was actually Wang Yijin.
The two not only once sent a cloud together, but also suspected of visiting Disney Japan together in February 2017.
But this relationship, in 2018, when Zhang Xincheng participated in the filming of "The Great Song Youth", came to an abrupt end.
At that time, some people speculated that the woman had just signed a contract with Jiaxing and might be going to fight for her career, and the two chose to break up in desperation.
However, after that, Zhang Xincheng's resources have visibly increased, in addition to "The Great Song Youth History", there are also idol dramas such as "Snail and Oriole Bird" and "Rock Sugar Stewed Sydney" have been broadcast.
Although the above works have high and low ratings, judging from the actresses they work with:
Lin Yun and Wu Qian are both popular little flowers, and they can also feel that Zhang Xincheng has successfully squeezed into the popular students, and only has a good work to speak.
In 2020, his opportunity finally came.
and Tan Songyun , Song Weilong starring in the youth drama "In the Name of the Family" began broadcasting, in the play although Zhang Xincheng played the male number two He Ziqiu, but his acting skills crushed the male one, leaving a deep impression.
Especially a few crying scenes, let the public see the acting skills of "Little Fresh Meat", which can also make people empathize.
What is even more surprising is that Zhang Xincheng is also one of the producers of this work, which shows how clear his career planning is.
Because although he is a post-95 generation, Zhang Xincheng's "complicated" growth experience has made him an "old" person.
Actresses such as Li Randi, who have cooperated, have said:
"He always carries a hand on his back in the crew, and he is very particular about what he eats, so his nickname is an old cadre!"
He once said in an interview that the career of an actor is divided into two stages: one is the teenage period between the ages of 18 and 30, and the other is the golden period of middle age between the ages of 30 and 45.
And Zhang Xincheng is eager to make a smooth transition to the golden age of middle age, so he always wants to "stand firm" in the film and television industry before the age of 30.
Now he is 28 years old, so in addition to being an actor, he is also actively involved in investment and production work - in Zhang Xincheng's eyes, this is the second choice to deal with the crisis.
3. Well acted vs spit on
Understanding Zhang Xincheng's thoughts on his career planning, you can understand why he now frequently dominates the screen.
In 2020, he took out a lot of works, among which the more outrageous is "The Day It Became You" with Liang Jie.
In the play, the male protagonist Jiang Yi played by him switched identities with the female protagonist because of an accident, so he wanted to play some characteristics of the girl.
When the work was on the air, Zhang Xincheng frequently went on the hot search because "it's too good to play a girl".
But he was not satisfied with being in idol dramas all the time, so he took out the suspense drama "Cloister Pavilion".
Before the start of this TV series, it was originally the most anticipated by many suspense drama lovers - it was adapted from Keigo Higashino's famous novel "The Cloister Pavilion Murder", and the expectations were very high.
However, due to the magic change of the work, and the plot is suspended, the cutting is chaotic, and even the service is problematic, the final score is only 4.1 points.
Viewers who have seen it said bitterly in the evaluation center:
"China does not lack good actors, and there is a shortage of good screenwriters and good directors."
The subsequent "Basic Law of Genius" also received a poor response, and some people bluntly said: Zhang Xincheng is not suitable for the role of Pei Zhi - it is not a matter of temperament, not acting.
But what is very magical is that Zhang Xincheng performed prominently in "County Party Committee Compound" directed by Kong Sheng.
Although this drama is silent, the young cadre Lin Zhiwei played by him is remarkable.
Even the actor Hu Ge, who cooperated with, said bluntly about him: "He is very self-disciplined and serious, and the image in life is what Xiaolin looks like in the play." ”
A bit similar to "The Cloister Pavilion", when it was revealed that Pei Shu was about to participate in the suspense novel "Silent Reading", fans shouted: "Excited! ”
Because from Reuters, Zhang Xincheng has a very good advantage in appearance.
The male protagonist named Fei Du in the original work is a professor scholar type rich second generation, and the setting of his appearance is quite emotional to read:
"A slender young man with almost shoulder-length hair, dressed in an ironed and serious formal suit, and metal-framed glasses... It seems to have a cold temperament that is particularly abstinent. ”
However, what the public did not expect was that the drama was just in time for the rectification of the American drama when it was hot, which also made the play unexpectedly "silent" for a long time.
Now that the sudden "airborne" has started broadcasting, it immediately caused a burst of complaints, and most of the voices are questioning the role of Zhang Xincheng, and some people say that he is like Gao Qilan who cut his hair...
In addition, Zhang Xincheng also held "So Many Years" with Sun Qian, and turned into Li Ran's classmate from Zhenhua Middle School.
Of course, some people questioned: "Lin Yang becomes Li Ran, it's easy to jump the scene!" ”
But some people were enthusiastic after watching the trailer: "These two people have too much atmosphere, look forward to it!" ”
In any case, whether the 28-year-old Zhang Xincheng was complained of being "greasy" or praised for his acting skills only shows that he has been walking on the road he wants to go:
"You can only do your best to see what you can mix in this life, in fact, there is a feeling of curiosity and not admitting defeat."
Are you expecting such a post-95s actor?
