#Entertainment Spotlight #Why did Zhang Tong, who came from an ordinary working family, embark on the road of acting? Having experienced the double whammy of depression and blindness in both eyes, who else can knock him down?
Mentioning that Zhang Tong knows him may be very few, and even strange, but when it comes to the Wei monk in "Bright Sword", is it generally patd on the head and suddenly realized?
"Bright Sword", as one of the best anti-war films in China, can be said to have won many actors. Zhang Tong is one of them, when the fledgling Zhang Tong starred in the role of a monk in "Bright Sword".
His thick and honest image has really left a deep impression on the hearts of the audience, especially the plot of the monk's death at the hands of bandits, which is even more heart-wrenching.
However, Zhang Tong's acting career also bright sword defeat also bright sword
Zhang Tong was born in Tianjin, when he was a child, he transferred to school once for family reasons, and when he first arrived in an unfamiliar environment, he was not adapted to it and the children in the class at that time somewhat excluded him.
Therefore, his life in elementary school was not pleasant, which also led to his taciturn personality, and also laid hidden dangers for the near-death of his later life.
He is not good at words, but he is a perfectly good student, who has studied well since childhood, and is a complete child of others. After the college entrance examination, he was admitted to the computer department of Nankai University, but he felt confused during his college studies.
He looked at the familiar scenery on campus and couldn't help but ask himself in his heart, is this really the life he wants? Zhang Tong, who was in deep thought, heard a noisy sound, and it turned out that the classmates were performing the program.
Zhang Tong saw the smiles on the faces of the students, as if he understood something instantly. So the young and vigorous he immediately told his parents that he wanted to become an actor, and his parents saw the happy Zhang Tong, and after a moment of silence, they agreed, and the unexpected smoothness made Zhang Tong more and more determined to embark on the road of the actor.
In this way, he came to the Lyon Academy of Arts and Drama in France to start a study in a foreign country, zhang Tong, who was born in the ordinary working class, needed a lot of money to study abroad. This directly emptied all the family's savings, Zhang Tong's parents began a day and night job in order to provide for their son's schooling, and even sold the family's only property because they did not have enough tuition fees, just so as not to let their son who was far away in a foreign country suffer.
After two years, there was no money at all, and a total of 240,000 yuan was spent during these two years, including the parents' lifelong salary, the money to buy a house, the money borrowed, the money saved for his future marriage, and so on.
Zhang Tong said in an interview that he regretted the decision to become an actor for the first time.
Once at 5 o'clock in the morning, dad took him to the station, it was a very cold day, he and dad stood alone under a flagpole, dad asked him: "Are you hungry?" He snorted, his father turned around and went to buy breakfast, Zhang Tong looked at his father's back, before his father walked with his chest up, but now he was hunched over.
If it weren't for the childish decisions made by his young and crazy self, his father's back would still be as tall and erect as ever.
At this moment, Zhang Tong cried, crying very badly, with regret in his tears.
But Zhang Tong, who knows that regret is useless, is full of obsession with the actor industry, vowing to become an excellent actor and not be ashamed of everything he has done to his parents.
In 2001, he officially became a North Drifter, and together with most of the unknowns, he waited at the door of the North Film Studio every day, seeking opportunities, and occasionally making a living by doing odd jobs.
Because of his superior appearance and overseas gilding experience, a chance in 2002 allowed him to successfully enter the show business circle. This year, he starred in the first step in his life movie "Flowers And Sounds", Zhang Tong treated this opportunity very seriously, and took out the spirit of twelve points to play this role.
The kung fu paid off, and this time the performance was very successful, which also paved the way for the next acting career.
Because of his good performance in this drama, he was invited to participate in the costume mythological drama Seven Fairies, playing a handsome, cold black shadow in the play, which is still memorable.
In the same year, Zhang Tong ushered in another opportunity to change his fate, starring in the Wei monk in "Bright Sword", when the Liang Sword crew was worried about the selection of Wei monks, Zhang Tong, who saw the opportunity, did not hesitate to say that he was very suitable.
But the director of Ning Que was very suspicious, so he asked this Wei monk to know kung fu, will you?
Zhang Tong, who has been studying for so many years, has learned everything, except for kung fu, but as soon as he thinks of this opportunity, he hit a set of "boxing techniques" hard.
So Zhang Tong casually punched a set of punches, this punch is not serious, but the momentum is indeed out, and the director is really intimidated by his performance, and immediately signed a contract with him, so Zhang Tong was lucky to get the opportunity to star in "Bright Sword".
At that time, during the filming process, he also had a lot of interesting things with Li Youbin.
There is a plot in the play, The Wei monk played by Zhang Tong needs to drag Teacher Li Youbin to run, and the interesting thing is that it happened to coincide with the time when the crew accepted the media visit class, when Zhang Tong thought about the media to visit the class to take pictures, he wanted to perform well and attract the attention of the reporter.
The scene was filmed with "Wei Monk running on His back to Li Yunlong", and originally this scene only needed to run for a short time, but Zhang Tong ran several laps on his back in order to attract the attention of the media and ask reporters to take more photos of him.
It wasn't until he had no strength that he put Li Youbin down from his back, and as a result, he didn't stand still when he put it down, and directly dropped Li Youbin.
Li Youbin has been crawling and playing in the circle for so many years, and naturally saw through Zhang Tong's small calculations, but he felt that this young man really had strength, and he was willing to endure hardships without puncturing.
Although Zhang Tong became a hit in "Bright Sword", he also encountered the sudden popularity common to actors, leaving the audience with the impression that everything he played was that role, so he fell into career difficulties.
This also made him depressed for a while, coupled with the criticism of the newcomer director, Zhang Tong, who was already a bit lonely, was under tremendous pressure, but all this was just a lead-
Because Zhang Tong's understanding of the character image drilled into the tip of the horn, he wanted to portray the characters in the play well, and he wanted to express some things on his body to the audience, and he completely circled himself and could not get out.
So I suffered from depression, which is not completely correct to say that it is depression, and it is called neurological dysfunction to be precise, not depression in the simple sense.
The specific reason is that One of Zhang Tong's brain circuits is particularly developed, the speed of operation is too fast and too frequent, when the amount of information is too much, there will be serious conflicts, the whole person will have headaches, insomnia, can not sleep will also think wildly.
What's even funnier is that Zhang Tong himself sometimes has some inexplicable thoughts, and even thinks about jumping from the 8th floor to try the feeling of flying.
Fortunately, there were no greater accidents. Zhang Tong, who was actively treated, finally cured the neurotic dysfunction that had plagued him for a long time.
In the same year, Zhang Tong made a comeback on the screen again, filming the work "One and Eight", and during filming, Zhang Tong suffered an accident in a demolition scene, blinding him on the spot.
At the time of the incident, the people on the set were panicked, and the director rushed to ask for help from the ambulance, but Zhang Tong, who was lying on the side, calmed everyone's emotions. Jiren has his own celestial appearance, but he is only temporarily blind, and after a period of cultivation, he will not be in serious trouble.
For him, every play must be cleaned up, not afraid of difficulties and dangers, and must let the audience see their intentions and sincerity.
Good actors will eventually usher in their own spring
In 2016, when Zhang Tong starred in the war drama "Breaking Bad Defender", with this work, Zhang Tong was awarded the Feitian Award of that year, making him the first post-80s film emperor in the show business circle.
At the award ceremony, Zhang Tong was very excited, after all, the hardships and sufferings of this road are bound to be incomprehensible to others, but the heavenly way pays for diligence, and fate will always support people with hearts.
Zhang Tong was not proud and complacent because of this, and continued to play steadily in the show business circle, starring in the era of the awakening of word-of-mouth dramas.
Before getting the role of Li Dazhao, Zhang Tong specifically examined Li Dazhao's relevant historical materials and asked some predecessors to interpret Li Dazhao's image.
Zhang Tong's superb acting skills were once enshrined by the audience, even if he did not have the opportunity to be shortlisted for the Magnolia Awards campaign, but in his opinion, as long as his carefully shaped role can be recognized, this is the biggest praise for himself.
Zhang Tong's love for acting is better than himself, otherwise he would not have fallen into depression. The profession of an actor is sacred and solemn in his eyes, and it is worth his life to stick to.
