When it comes to the name of actor Yang Zheng, some people may not be familiar with it, but when it comes to the role he plays, you must be familiar with it.
Lei Hengshui, who dares to dare to do things and does not give up lightly;
the strong and responsible Tong Tiejun in "My Most Loved Family";
Wu Zhu in "Right Yu and Her County Party Secretaries", etc.;
These are all Yang Zheng, and it's not all him.
Yang Zheng has a very upright face, masculine and handsome, which provides him with innate conditions for being an actor, but it is also because of this face that delays him.
Why?
Because the characters who came to him with this face are all the same, whether it is the above, or the characters in the early "God Sealing List", "Lei Feng" and "The Legend of Chu and Han", they are all dubbed "professional in drama" by the audience because of a "righteous" face.
As an actor, what I am most afraid of is being Facebooked and typed, so that if you can't break through, you can't show your true strength.
Yang Zheng has been debuting for 24 years and has starred in more than 30 film and television dramas, with good looks and acting skills but not popular, which is somewhat delayed by his face, which is inevitably regrettable.
But for Yang Zheng, he does not pursue fame and fortune, and as an actor he has always sought a breakthrough;
In addition to the drama, he is very low-key, married to his wife Meng Tingyi, who is also an actor, and now has a pair of beautiful and lovely daughters, and the family of four is happy, which is quite enviable.
01
Yang Zheng debuted as a child star, and his original name was Yang Ziduo.
In February 1984, Yang Zheng was born in Beijing to a family of police officers, and his father and uncle were both police officers.
When Yang Zheng was a child
Therefore, Yang Zheng's education from childhood is to "serve the people" as his own responsibility.
It is precisely this correct style and serious education that has shaped Yang Zheng's righteous and awe-inspiring temperament, coupled with his naturally heroic face, to some extent, it has also laid the groundwork for him to become a "drama professional".
If according to the wishes of his parents and family, Yang Zheng may also wear a police uniform to protect the safety of the people.
But on the other hand, Yang Zheng is more interested in acting.
At the age of 14, he was selected by the TV series "Little Ghost Lu Zhisheng" to play the role of Jarry and officially entered the show business circle.
Then in the inspirational drama "Son, Son", he starred in Chen Daqing and played Li Bo in "Boys and Girls", which further strengthened Yang Zheng's pursuit.
In 2002, he was admitted to the acting department of the Central Academy of Drama and began his own acting career.
Although he failed to become a police officer as his parents wished, Yang Zheng felt that as an actor, he could also "serve the people".
He can play a variety of characters such as doctors, policemen, and soldiers on the screen.
However, in the path of being an actor, it is not so easy to take the initiative, and sometimes it is not what role you want to play.
In the first two years after graduation, Yang Zheng did not lack dramas, but most of them were inconspicuous roles, and almost as soon as the play ended, he forgot that there was such a person.
It was not until he met "Lei Feng", "Red Locust Flower" and "The Legend of Chu and Han" that he attracted attention with his straight face.
But this also limited his acting path, because since then the roles that found him have been the same.
As an actor, Yang Zheng naturally did not want to be Facebooked, but in those times when he had no choice, he had to passively accept it.

In 2013, in the anti-Japanese drama "Sharp Arrow", Yang Zheng broke through himself for the first time.
In the play, Yang Zheng played a rich young master Zhao Jingui during the Republic of China, who was forced by ignorance and helplessness when the country was in trouble, and finally chose to become a traitor.
This is a villain, this kind of role is generally not pleasant, but Yang Zheng's cute and black humorous interpretation makes everyone see an alternative "traitor".
For Yang Zheng, this is an attempt and a breakthrough.
Someone asked him if he was not worried about being scolded, playing such a role that was diametrically opposed to the past, Yang Zheng said frankly that he was not afraid of being questioned by the audience and netizens, good or bad, he accepted and was willing to hear everyone's feedback and voices.
For Yang Zheng, it is worth it for an actor to dedicate himself to filming and shaping the role and bringing joy to the audience.
Moreover, in his view, even a traitor like Zhao Jingui is a kind of patriotic education in the form of a negative teaching material for people who have not experienced that period of history.
Finally, after the play was broadcast, Yang Zheng's vivid interpretation of a "rich second-generation" Republican traitor attracted a lot of attention and added a strong stroke to "Sharp Arrows".
In 2017, in the movie "June and the Bow and Arrow", Yang Zheng continued to break through himself and starred as a money-greedy truck driver.
2018 is a turning point in Yang Zheng's career.
First starred in "Right Yu and Her County Party Secretaries" as Youyu County Party Secretary Wu Zhu, a role with a large age range, to be played from 18 to 70 years old, he proved himself with strength.
Then in "Stand-in Under the Blade", he played two roles by himself.
Both the dashing and neat policeman Lu Hai and the yuppie young Jin Yang, he interprets two completely different roles in detail.
2022 is a bumper year for Yang Zheng's career.
"That Mountain and That Sea" and "My Favorite Family" starring him have become CCTV ratings hits.
After years of struggle, it was finally seen by more people. People became popular, but controversy ensued, but Yang Zheng ignored these.
For him, fire or not, he is inspired to be a good actor, stick to his original intention, do what he thinks is right, and transmit positive energy.

In fact, in many dramas, Yang Zheng's acting skills are remarkable, which is the result of his careful study.
In "That Mountain and That Sea", the second elder Hengshui, played by him, dared to fight and found a way to change the poverty of his hometown in the process of going down the mountain to work.
We see that Lei Hengshui in the play is strong and black, usually Yang Zheng has the habit of fitness, although he is very strong, but his skin is white in life.
In order to get closer to the character, the first thing he did was change his appearance, he entered the group 10 days early and basked in the sun for ten days.
Yang Zheng said, first of all, find the feeling from the appearance and temperament, he was exposed to the sun for ten days, and his tanned skin was dark, which was no different from the real mountain.
Moreover, during the filming process, he also tried his best, and there was a scene in the play where he carried his eldest brother down the mountain to seek medical treatment.
This rain scene was filmed for 10 days, and it was raining heavily, and it was still cold at that time, they were shivering with the cold, and he had to carry his eldest brother down the mountain.
In order to show the difficulty of the villagers going down the mountain, the director attached great importance to this scene, Yang Zheng also carried his eldest brother back and forth for one night, and when he reached the middle scene, he really couldn't move his back, so he dropped his eldest brother, which was really a fall and hurt.
But it was this fall that was affirmed by the director, and what he wanted was that tired state, which was very real.
"That Mountain and That Sea" is about the culture of the She, but Yang Zheng does not understand it.
So he went to the local museum to collect style, chat with the locals, he felt the enthusiasm of the villagers there and the rich heritage culture, and finally presented a Lei Hengshui who dared to do and did not give up easily.
This is quite similar to Yang Zheng's acting road, no matter how difficult the road is, he has never given up, always holding the spirit of "serving the people" to shape the role, and after twenty years, more people finally see him who loves acting.
However, in the entertainment industry, there are many popular people.
After Yang Zheng received attention, criticism also followed, but he was too low-key, no lace scandals, no hype points.
This is also what Yang Zheng makes people admire, in an entertainment industry that advertises his singleness and standing up, he is generously in love, married and has a daughter, and generously shares a happy life with his wife and daughter.
Never deliberately official announcement, nor deliberately hidden, just like ordinary people, when you meet the right person, you will pursue, and when the time comes, you will get married.
Yang Zheng's wife Meng Tingyi is also an actress.
She has starred in many film and television dramas such as "Different Town", "Life Events", "July and Ansheng", "Point to Point", "Years Are Silent" and so on.
In 2010, she also won the Asian Short Film Festival for her 22-minute short film August 15.
Like most actor couples, the two also met because of the play, met in the crew of "Sharp Arrow", and then fell in love with each other, and then held hands and entered the marriage after half a year of love.
After that, the two also participated in "Stand-in Under the Blade" in the name of husband and wife, in which Meng Tingyi played Xia Jie, is the fiancée of Lu Hai played by Yang Zheng.
It's just that after being upgraded to a mother, Meng Tingyi has appeared in fewer plays.
Yang Zheng and Meng Tingyi gave birth to their eldest daughter in 2014 after marriage, and since then their world has added a little princess, upgraded from a world of two to a family of three, and they are both immersed in the happiness and joy of being parents.
At the same time, in order to provide them with a better life, Yang Zheng redoubled his efforts to film, while Meng Tingyi accompanied her daughter more often.
When her daughter was older, she started working again, and then their youngest daughter came again, and the family of three became a family of four, and she put more attention on the family.
Yang Zheng is also getting busier and busier as his attention increases, and he may spend two months at home throughout the year.
But this is also a matter of no way, Meng Tingyi is an understanding wife, she does not complain, the two daughters are also well-behaved, and they have a natural closeness to their father, no matter how long he has been away from home, they are still very intimate with him when he comes back.
Of course, as a father, Yang Zheng will also accompany his wife and daughter wholeheartedly when he is not acting, taking them and traveling as a family of four during the break.
From time to time, you should also enjoy the world of two;
On the show together, make a game and follow the steps of your wife;
On the screen, Yang Zheng is mostly a tough guy with iron bones, but in life, he said that he was "afraid of guilt".
And Meng Tingyi's reaction was quite fast, and she immediately said: "I also listen to you." ”
This is probably the best look of a couple, one admits that he is a strict wife, the other also respects each other, and no one is arbitrary, so even if there is a flash marriage, no wedding, no diamond ring, and no honeymoon trip.
Because every day together is sweet, and as a responsible couple, they regard a pair of daughters as treasures in the palm of their hands and the warmth and happiness of small family management.
Now 39 years old, Yang Zheng has a successful career, a loving wife, a loving daughter, and a happy family, what could be more enviable.
Bless Yang Zheng, hope to act in more and better plays in the future, and be a long-term, good actor with a reputation as he wishes.
