On April 3, 2018, at the award ceremony of the TV series "Feitian Award", Zhang Tong defeated Zhang Yi, Yu Hewei and other outstanding actors with his wonderful performance in "Breaking Bad Defender Division", and won back the trophy of the Outstanding Actor Award, becoming the first post-80s actor to receive this award.
But what few people know is that because he was questioned by a director who was completely inexperienced, he had a nervous breakdown and almost ended his young life by jumping off a building.
And the wife's sentence: You die, I accompany you, only to pull her husband Zhang Tong back from the side of the cliff, which has Zhang Tong's nirvana reborn and is named "Emperor of Vision".
Denied, suffering from depression, blindness and other difficulties, his wife Guan Siting accompanied Zhang Tong, and it is precisely because of his wife's inseparability and full support that Zhang Tong can use all his strength to walk in front of the audience.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="3" >01 entered the audience's field of vision with "monk"</h1>
After more than ten years of hard study, Zhang Tong was admitted to his ideal institution of study - the Computer Department of Nankai University.
However, Zhang Tong, who has always been mature and stable during his college years, unexpectedly fell in love with acting and studied abroad without hesitation.
The heavy study pressure did not crush Zhang Tong, but how could ordinary families afford the huge expenses of studying abroad?
There is no extra pro-money on the body, self-esteem is troubled, Zhang Tong sometimes eats only one meal for three days during the study abroad, and even eats dog food.
His own work-study and selling a house at home for him to study allowed Zhang Tong to barely complete his studies at the Lyon School of Arts and Drama in France.
When Zhang Tong struggled to complete his studies in France, Zhang Tong's future wife Guan Siting was enjoying her wonderful college time.
No one would have thought that two people who are close to the end of the world now will come together in the future.
Although graduated from well-known foreign universities, at this time, Huang Xiaoming, Deng Chao and other well-known actors have come out, and there is no place for Zhang Tong.
Zhang Tong, who does not have a little fame and background, has to start from the bottom, as long as there is a crew to find someone, no matter what role, Zhang Tong actively signed up.
The next stand-in role benefited him a lot.
Just when Zhang Tong was confused about his future, a light substitute role in the crew of "Wuji" brought him back to life.
Due to the requirements of his role, Zhang Tong had to walk on the ground for several hours every day, and his knees were grinding out of blood.
His efforts were also discovered by director Chen Kaige, who was amazed by Zhang Tong's determination and efforts, and specially allowed him to listen to his own lectures to the actors.
Opportunities are always left to those who are prepared, and Zhang Tong is walking step by step towards the dream in his heart, down-to-earth.
Heaven deserves to because of his excellent acting skills and fit with the appearance of the character, he was selected to play the role of Black Hawk in "Seven Fairies of Heaven and Heaven".
And Zhang Tong did not live up to the director's requirements, interpreting a role with a cold appearance and a hot heart just right.
The broadcast of the TV series also made him famous, and this role also helped Zhang Tong knock on the door of the "Bright Sword" crew.
In 2004, the "Bright Sword" crew recruited roles for actors, and the worship of Zhang Youbin made Zhang Tongxiang take the role of Li Yunlong's guard.
After seeing Zhang Tong's role, the director also has great expectations for Zhang Tong.
However, zhang tong needs to pass the last level to become a "monk" - to know martial arts.
Zhang Tong has never been exposed to martial arts at all, but Zhang Tong has a special love for the role of "monk".
Counting on his mind, in the face of the question of whether the director will be a martial artist, Zhang Tong said categorically: Yes.
Zhang Tong, who was physically strong, drew a few tricks with all his might, but fortunately, the director believed it.
It is precisely because of Zhang Tong's perseverance that the role of "monk" in "Bright Sword" is well known to the public.
However, Zhang Tong's hard performance in the play even almost "fell to death" Li Yunlong's actor Li Youbin.
In the process of filming, there was a scene where the monk had to carry Li Yunlong running all over the mountain.
Originally, Zhang Tong only needed to carry a distance, but looking at the reporters interviewing around him, Zhang Tong thought:
Run a little more, the reporter can shoot a little more, and if he can't say it, he will be red.
As a senior, Li Youbin also cooperated with Zhang Tong, but Zhang Tong accidentally let Go of Li Youbin, and Li Youbin almost rolled down the mountain.
Senior Li Youbin jokingly said: Brother, if you want to fire me, I won't stop you, but you can't fall to my death.
But it was only a joke, And Li Youbin still admired Zhang Tong, a descendant.
With the role of "monk" in "Bright Sword", Zhang Tong entered the audience's sight and opened his acting path.
< h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" Data-track="8" >02 Two people who look down on each other come together</h1>
In terms of career, Zhang Tong chunfeng is proud, and what he does not know is that love is also slowly coming to him.
A "Chinese Guards" allows Zhang Tong and Guan Siting to meet and fall in love, but what few people know is that they have a very bad first impression of each other.
As a military-themed TV series, the producer requires actors to go to the army to experience life.
But the first time they met in the car made each other roll their eyes, they had no idea that one day in the future, they would hold each other's hands.
"I wore an army green trouser underneath, which had been washed a little white, and then I wore a green top on it, and my expression was particularly dragged."
Guan Siting's first impression of Zhang Tong was dirty and dragged, but Zhang Tong also felt that this girl was too naïve.
"With any child, is this child short of heart and eye?"
However, the occurrence of one thing made Zhang Tong's impression of Guan Siting change.
At that time, I experienced life, but to really experience life, all the actors had to stay in the army.
Who eats grains and grains is not sick? However, discipline stumbled upon their desire to go out and buy medicine.
The bold Guan Siting took a brave step, and the instructor was not too harsh on a girl.
A gift brought by Guan Siting made Zhang Tong's heart feel warm, and she helped bring back the items that everyone needed.
Although Zhang Tong only casually mentioned the eye drops in front of everyone, the speaker did not have the intention of listening.
Guan Siting took it to heart and helped Zhang Tong bring it back when she went out.
The subtle subsections determine a person's upbringing, and Guan Siting's image has risen a step in Zhang Tong's heart.
One day, one month, one day, I looked at you, and it wasn't profound. One day, one month, and so on, I looked at you again, and it didn't matter. How do you know that after a long time, you will stay on my heart.
Perhaps in the previous meeting, they only regarded each other as the most familiar strangers, and the next two "dates" made them really moved.
In the TV series, they have the same skin as soldiers and ask everyone to be exposed to the sun.
However, when they arrived at the venue, it was just the two of them "like fools" basking in the sun.
For the first time, in the place of "two people dating", relatively speechless, they have not yet discovered that the other has entered each other's hearts.
In the second "date", Zhang Tong and Guan Siting finally found some common topics, and they had each other in their hearts.
Step by step, they went through the steps of confession, but how could Guan Siting easily agree to Zhang Tong's confession?
And no one would have thought that Zhang Tong, who seems to be humble, also has a set of methods of chasing people.
In the slow process of getting along, they gradually get to know each other, and Zhang Tong also finds Guan Siting's common interest - playing games.
Zhang Tong was in front of the goddess, and his hand, who was very good at playing games, seemed to be fixed, and he did not win Guan Siting once.
Guan Siting did not win a game with Zhang Tong once after marriage, at this time, Guan Siting found that she was "deceived into her hands" by Zhang Tong.
However, although Zhang Tong has already made several film and television works, all his money cannot fill the hole in the family.
Can such a difficult family background give your girlfriend enough security?
If I love someone or want to fall in love with her, I have the idea of spending my life with someone. If you want to go to the temple of marriage, you still have to be honest.
With such a thought, Zhang Tong told his girlfriend the real situation.
And the answer of his girlfriend Guan Siting made Zhang Tong take a dose of cardiotonic injection:
For a man, character is more important. Money is something outside the body, and it can be earned later, as long as he is responsible and self-motivated. I just took a fancy to him as a person.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="18" >03 was questioned and denied, and his confidence collapsed</h1>
After falling in love, they were immersed in love every day, but the next thing that happened almost broke the couple.
"The beauty and ugliness, the good and the bad, the good and the evil, the right and the wrong, of the things that I have always stood for, and what I have always believed in, have been completely subverted in that play, and even brutally denied." 」
Zhang Tong recalled how he felt when he performed a play, he said.
It is precisely because of this drama that Zhang Tong suffered from severe depression, and during the period of his illness, only Si Ting was always with him.
In 2010, when Zhang Tong was filming a play, he met two new directors, and the negation of these two directors made Zhang Tong completely breathless.
Although Zhang Tong has been working hard to interpret the characters, he still cannot be satisfied with the two inexperienced directors.
In the midst of denial, Zhang Tong is less and less able to act, and his heart is getting heavier and heavier.
The director did not realize his problem at all, and reprimanded Zhang Tong in front of all the actors, in such a situation, Zhang Tong could not find himself at all.
Questioning his acting methods, questioning his own possessions, not only denying Zhang Tong in acting, but also insulting Zhang Tong's personality.
In such a working environment, Zhang Tong stayed for three months, and after the drama was filmed, Zhang Tong had serious psychological problems.
He couldn't sleep peacefully every day and became very perverted. And how could Guan Siting not see the change in her boyfriend?
She comforts her boyfriend with gentle words every day and accompanies him every day.
But Zhang Tong did not have time to take care of his psychological problems, because his next play", "Father and Son Soldiers", was about to start filming.
Although during the filming of this TV series, the crew was very kind, and Zhang Tong's acting skills were also affirmed, but the words of the last director have always been in his ear.
"Zhang Tong's acting skills are only at the level of students who have just enrolled in the Shanghai Theater Academy, Zhang Tong's self-confidence and adaptability are very poor, and his ability belongs to the very low kind."
This made Zhang Tong unable to listen to any words of praise, and his spirit broke down for a while, and he even tried to jump off a building and take drugs to commit suicide.
After hearing such a situation, Guan Siting quit her job and flew to Zhang Tong's side, single-mindedly enlightening and accompanying her boyfriend.
Zhang Tong couldn't sleep every night, and his girlfriend Guan Siting also talked with Zhang Tong every night, saying that the next morning her throat was dumb.
But Zhang Tong was still immersed in the idea that he would not act, and even wanted to jump out of the window at one point.
Seeing her boyfriend's situation, Guan Siting, although she was very scared, still hugged her boyfriend tightly:
If you go, I'll jump with you too.
Only now, Zhang Tong understands his wife's determination, is willing to go to the hospital for examination, and cooperate with doctors for treatment.
Under the guidance of his girlfriend and the treatment of drugs, Zhang Tong finally recovered his confidence and returned to the screen with a confident attitude.
When Zhang Tong recalled the experience, he said:
I don't care about fame, I don't care about profits, and in this world, I don't care about anything but my relatives and my lovers.
This experience made Zhang Tong miserable for two or three years, but it was also this experience that made him understand what is most important to himself, and let him grow into a more confident and calm person.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="25" >04 cave room flower candle night, when the gold list is titled</h1>
After experiencing all kinds of tribulations, they finally realized that the person in front of them was the person they wanted to accompany for a lifetime.
So on November 29, 2012, they entered the sacred wedding hall and became each other's most important people.
The calm sea sometimes contains huge winds and waves, and behind happiness may be sadness.
Because Zhang Tong's image is biased towards tough guys, many war scenes will find Zhang Tong.
However, the drama of war often hides a lot of dangers, often walking by the river, where there are not wet shoes.
During the filming of the anti-war drama "One and Eight", Zhang Tong had 20 explosion points around him, but at the third explosion point, tragedy occurred.
The slap-sized mud mass generated by the explosion of the bomb shot into Zhang Tong's face, blinding his eyes on the spot, and even his mind could not think normally.
However, Zhang Tong's professionalism did not allow him to leave the scene without permission until the end of the night, and he rushed to the hospital.
After diagnosis, Zhang Tong's mind was not wrong, but the degree of eye injury was very serious.
His eyes did not allow him to shoot again, and at this time, zhang Tong was accompanied by his wife Guan Siting.
When Zhang Tong's eyes were almost blind and he fell into darkness, his wife Guan Siting became the only light in Zhang Tong's life.
Guan Siting is both his wife and his "personal nurse", and under the treatment of doctors and the care of his wife, Zhang Tong can finally start his career again.
However, will the rapidly changing entertainment industry wait for Zhang Tong's healing?
At this time, Zhang Tong, because of his illness, has long since lost his original handsome appearance, and under such circumstances, he simply cannot receive the film contract.
After experiencing his own time of asking for a film contract, and also experiencing the time when the film contract was soft, Zhang Tong would not be defeated by such a tribulation.
Therefore, fitness, honing acting skills, Zhang Tong appeared in front of the director with a new image.
No matter how long the rain falls, the rainbow will eventually appear, no matter how sad you are, you must firmly believe that happiness is waiting for you.
Meet the wind and rain, face it bravely, and believe that through your own efforts, the beautiful scenery will wait for you in the distance.
"After the wind and rain will see the rainbow" was unexpectedly appropriate on Zhang Tong, and in 2016, he participated in "Desperate Defender Division".
At this time, he did not care at all that he would win the Emperor of Vision with it, and the harsh shooting environment had made him unable to think about things other than acting.
"Breaking Bad Defender" was filmed in the south, and Zhang Tong, who has been living in the north, was caught off guard by the wet weather at the beginning of filming.
From the rainy and wet March to the sweltering heat of June, coupled with the intense action scenes, Zhang Tong's clothes will be completely soaked after each filming.
The conditions were unimaginably harsh, and Zhang Tong even drank Huoxiang Zhengqi water as water.
But Zhang Tong did not have a word of complaint, but encouraged everyone:
We are not alone here, we have a heroic mission. We are not facing tribulations, but trials.
Heaven will always live up to everyone who works hard, and after the release of this drama, word of mouth and ratings flew together.
Zhang Tong also won the Outstanding Actor Award of the 31st China Television Drama Feitian Awards with this TV series, becoming the first post-80s actor to win the Feitian Award for Outstanding Actor.
Zhang Tong was very surprised after winning the award, and the award speech was also thought of at that time:
I didn't prepare the award speech, I didn't know I could win the award, I didn't think I could win the award, as a post-80s actor, I was very happy to be nominated. This trophy is not mine, he is the hero I play, he is awarded to the hero who died for the Republic.
No inferiority when there is no honor, no pride when winning the award, whether it is acting skills or character, he deserves to win this trophy.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="138" >05 conclusion</h1>
No matter how many difficulties and obstacles there are on the road ahead, Zhang Tong can always move forward towards his dream of being an actor.
There is a wealth in the world, it cannot be seen or touched, but it is like a dazzling sword piercing the confused sky, like a mighty water rushing through the difficulties ahead, and like a rough road, leading you to the other side of victory. It's about persistence. Only persistence wins.
Zhang Tong relied on such wealth to step by step on the podium, and also came to us step by step.
Having such a child is also the pride of the family, and his father's expectations for Zhang Tong are:
"Serious in work, worthy of the audience; healthy in life, but also get the body well."
Although he is proud of his career and family, Zhang Tong has always owed his wife a promise.
When they were together, Guan Siting always said that the honeymoon place she longed for was Spain, and Zhang Tong promised his wife, but did not do it.
Later, in the interview, the program team gave Guan Siting a copy of the Spanish landscape book, and Zhang Tong also promised in the back:
Wife, I will bring you here and enjoy the romance that belongs to us.
I also hope that Zhang Tong can make up for the company he owes to his wife after becoming famous, and take her to Spain.
