Now the most popular person in the film and television industry is undoubtedly Zhang Songwen!
With the role of Gao Qiqiang in "Crazy", now Zhang Songwen is followed by a large group of fans wherever he goes, and as an acting actor, I am afraid that this phenomenon has not appeared for many years.
On March 24, Wang Jing's "More Than Ending" was released nationwide, and Zhang Songwen, who played Huang Jiang, the chief reporter of the "Beijing Times", in the film, undoubtedly became the biggest selling point. Some netizens said that they burst into tears when they saw Zhang Songwen appeared, and the way he looked in a brown jacket, the breath of the golden age of the newspaper industry came to his face
Speaking of which, the male number one of "More Than Endless" is Han Dong, an intern reporter played by Bai Ke, and Huang Jiang is his teacher and senior in the newspaper. Huang Jiang's drama is actually not much, but the weight of this role is very heavy, Huang Jiang is not only Han Dong's idol in journalism, senior and teacher, but also a key role in his later growth.
"More Than Endless" was filmed in 2019, and this year, Zhang Songwen's film "A Cloud Made of Rain in the Wind" was released, which made him receive a wave of praise. And the online drama "Hidden Corner", which made him famous in the circle, will not be broadcast until 2020.
Director Wang Jing revealed that he and Zhang Songwen have known each other more than ten years ago, and also know that his play is good, this time looking for him to play Huangjiang, is to see Zhang Songwen's strength in performance, he values this role the most is an actor's "accuracy" in performance, "Huangjiang largely represents the group of those journalists in 2003, teacher Zhang Songwen did it accurately." ”
Yi Bloomjun believes that Zhang Songwen has vividly shaped the character of Huang Jiang in three aspects: appearance, demeanor and the professional pursuit of the character.
Appearance is undoubtedly the most basic prerequisite for shaping a character. 2003 is still the "golden age" of print media, as the chief reporter of the "Beijing Times", Huangjiang's economic conditions are still good, coupled with old qualifications, so he appeared in front of the camera, wearing the then popular brown casual suit, wearing glasses, both the elegance of an intellectual, and the unruly and dashing of a reporter. This is in stark contrast to Han Dong's shabby dress when he first joined, and it also foreshadows their later conflict.
The charm of the character mainly comes from the actor's demeanor, which is what Zhang Songwen is best at. In "A Cloud Made of Rain in the Wind" directed by Lou Ye, he played Tang Yijie, the director of the development zone, in which he spoke to a group of angry citizens, and his performance was well received.
This time in "More Than Ending", Zhang Songwen's explosive power in performance was shown again. Han Dong went to the newspaper office to apply for a job and met Huang Jiang for the first time, at this time Huang Jiang had just returned from the interview, unkempt, his hair was messy like a chicken's nest, Han Dong originally wanted to show him the manuscript he wrote, but he saw Han Dong holding the Austrian writer Zweig's work "When the Stars of Mankind Shined", grabbed it and read out the words in the first chapter: Seek refuge in the immortal cause. This detail is a good indication of Huang Jiang's character: he is a journalist with journalistic ideals.
Later, when he went to Shanxi to interview the families of the mining disaster, Huang Jiang also demonstrated his professionalism as a senior investigative journalist. He lay on the ground and rubbed back and forth, just to make his clothes look old and not be discovered by the black-hearted mine owner. The skills and adaptability he used during the interview convinced Han Dong with his heart.
Zhang Songwen is very good at acting, on the one hand, he plays the professional confidence of the role of Huang Jiang, but on the other hand, there is a stubbornness in this confidence, which also foreshadows the conflict between the two in the "hepatitis B test" report.
Although there are not many scenes, the character of Huangjiang is crucial to Han Dong's growth, which is mainly reflected in the professional pursuit of Huangjiang.
On the news report of "hepatitis B test", Huang Jiang advocated that the news facts can be published, because "hepatitis B test" is illegal. But Han Dong hesitated because he saw the silent cries of these hepatitis B patients and the pain caused by years of discrimination. So before the newspaper deadline, Han Dong gave up publishing, which made Huang Jiang angry.
To some extent, Huang Jiang became a "tool man" at this time, because he had to make Han Dong achieve transcendence and growth through his stubbornness. So this scene is the highlight of the whole film, Zhang Songwen played a angry and corrupt Huang Jiang, and after many unsuccessful communication with Han Dong, he finally withdrew the manuscript, which also made Han Dong unemployed.
Fortunately, the end of the story is satisfactory, and after many investigations, Han Dong wrote the eloquent article "Anti-discrimination Claims of 100 Million People" and published it in the "Beijing Times", which is obviously inseparable from Huangjiang's strong support. The pair of masters and apprentices completed a transformation in their lives and grew together with each other.
Returning to Zhang Songwen's performance, even if he played a role with few roles in "More Than End", he was able to leave an unforgettable screen image through his performance.
Zhang Songwen revealed at the premiere that the first time he saw Baike, he said to him, "Don't be too familiar with me." Because to match the relationship between a chief reporter and an intern. ”
has never been famous for no reason, Zhang Songwen is red and purple today, in addition to being fortunate enough to meet the role of Gao Qiqiang in "Crazy", profound acting skills, solid pre-performance preparation and his years of life experience are the cornerstones that support his fame.
