In the play, Feng Suzhen, the second daughter-in-law of the Chen family, played by actor Zhang Tong, has also won many fans with her solid acting skills.
Zhang Tong graduated from the 96-level acting department of the Central Academy of Drama, and together with Zhang Ziyi, Mei Ting, Yuan Quan, Qin Hailu, Hu Jing, Zeng Li and Li Min of the same year, he called the "Eight Golden Nobiles" of Chinese opera.

Similarly, the elegant beauty Yin Defei in "The Legend of Wu Meiniang", the dream girl Liu Piaopiao in "281 Letters", and Mrs. Li in "Thirty Only"
The characters also leave a deep impression on the audience.
In "Holiday Warm Yangyang", Zhang Tong plays the role of a high-level intellectual, a university professor that everyone envies. But life is very difficult, widowed at an early age, pulling her daughter up alone, seeing her daughter as a dream and hope in life, controlling everywhere. However, the daughter who thought she was docile secretly found a middle-aged uncle Lao Yan (Hu Jun) who had lost his wife and brought his son as a target. Although she is a fan of Lao Yan, Feng Suzhen's wonderful presentation of changing her face in the last second and Yan Yuese in the next second was praised as "a perfect interpretation of the feeling of taking off the powder and stepping back, Zhang Tong's acting skills are superb!" ”
In Zhang Tong's view, "Feng Suzhen is a very pursuit of perfection, she has been shaping herself into a perfect image since she was a child, she has studied hard, worked hard to get a high education, and the other half she is looking for is also a very perfect image in her eyes." After marrying, her mother-in-law was very good to her, and her husband was very good to her, so she met her own requirements for herself in all aspects of her life. But when her husband died, she missed a large part of her life, she let her daughter fill this gap, subconsciously to make her daughter into a perfect image, she wanted her daughter to be like her, walk the road she had walked before, and hoped that her daughter would find a perfect man like her husband. ”
At the beginning of the play, many netizens also felt that the characters and stories involved in the Chen family's line were too complicated, and they could not understand the practice of the character played by Zhang Tong. In this regard, Zhang Tong laughed and said: "It is good to not understand, if you understand it at the beginning, you will probably feel that there is nothing to look at." Because of this, you don't quite understand our character relationships, you don't understand our story, and you may want to continue looking down. After all, everyone has an instinctive desire to explore unknown people and things, to unknown areas. ”
Zhang Tong believes that this is the ingenuity of the screenwriter, "The screenwriter is equivalent to planting a seed in a piece of soil, as for what flowers this seed blooms and what fruits it bears, you need to follow the rhythm of our play to continue to go down." When you see the end, you will follow our rhythm, step by step to understand people and understand this thing. I believe that in the end, the audience will understand and will slowly fall in love with these characters. ”
Zhang Tong has had many amazing performances in dramas such as "The Legend of Wu Meiniang", "Supreme Red Face", "Thirty Only", etc., which are unforgettable. In 2017, she participated in "The Birth of an Actor" when she faced her former classmate and mentor Zhang Ziyi in the show, she did not feel embarrassed and afraid of the stage, but presented the best performance with her own acting skills. Win the recognition of the audience and judges. "It's not easy for every actor to come across a role they like, or that suits them." Every time she receives a role, Zhang Tong will do some preparatory work in advance, including script study, exploring the character's heart, losing weight and maintaining the skin. "When I learned that the character of Feng Suzhen had a bridge to show the drum kit, I would often go to the teacher to practice."
dialogue:
Cover News: In your eyes, what kind of person is the character Feng Suzhen in the play?
Zhang Tong: She is a person who pursues perfection, and she is also relatively extreme in terms of feelings. She didn't know that there were all kinds of feelings, but after a period of getting along and contacting her daughter and Lao Yan, she slowly understood the true meaning of emotions, so in this regard she was also a little girl, and she was also slowly growing up and slowly maturing with her daughter. It can also be seen that although she is usually a gentle and generous image in her personality, when she sees her idol, she becomes a child. This is where this character is very malleable, and it is also a particularly cute place.
Cover News: The fight in the play is indeed beyond imagination.
Zhang Tong: When I knew that this role had the process of chasing stars, and the bridge of instrumental performance, I felt that it was too suitable for me. Because I myself learned drum kits in my life, I always feel that I can use it in which play, but as an actor of my age, I usually play a more stable role, and it is impossible for me to have the opportunity to show. This role just has the bridge of chasing stars, which allows me to show these talents of mine. Originally it was to play the guitar, when shooting this scene, I told the director that I would set drums, the director let me play a section, and Brother Jun (Hu Jun) also said that the drums were better, so it was filmed. It turns out that the audience also liked this bridge section very much.
Cover News: "Holiday Warm" has received a lot of praise after it was broadcast, what do you hope to convey through this work?
Zhang Tong: I think one of the best things about our play is that it is grounded, and all the audience can find their own shadow in the play. For example, the way boys, girls, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law in love get along, or girlfriends, buddies, current and ex-wives if they meet how to deal with it, and so on. It can be said that it is a little common sense in life, which is answered for you one by one. In general, our film is to convey the beauty of life, and then the story of our line has also resonated with many people. For example, some of my mother's friends would send her WeChat and say, "Saying that Zhang Tong's mother and daughter playing the scene is really very much like what happened in our lives, my daughter is arguing with me like this." ”
TV dramas can let you see the A side B side of a story, but you can only see your own side in life, so we have to communicate more, understand each other more, communicate more, and then things will develop in the most beautiful direction, which is the most important point that we want to tell you in this play. Everyone is kind, we must tap the good side of each other, the world, this society will develop in a better direction.
Cover News: Is there anything you can share with you on the show?
Zhang Tong: If an actor wants to perform a good performance, you must first believe it yourself, and then use your own ability to make the audience believe, truly express what you think, and then externalize it. It's okay to create a character in this way, not to have so many messy appends, so many gestures, expressions, rhythms, all of this performance technique must be "real", if there is no word "true", the other is useless.
Cover news: There are many opponent scenes with Chen Xiaoyi and Hu Jun in the film, how do you feel about the scene with them?
Zhang Tong: Little Art Sister is just one word: Sa. Just like the eldest daughter-in-law she played, she was kind in nature, fiery, fast and fast-talking, and so was she herself. When we were on the spot, we often chatted and talked about life, and the cooperation was very good. Brother Jun has one word: warm, he belongs to the kind of person who especially takes care of people. I think he has a lot of energy, he can first manage his own play, how to perform this play well; secondly, he has the energy to take care of anyone on the scene, such as taking a chair for props, helping the lights to support the lights, giving others an umbrella when it rains, he belongs to such a person. It was a pleasure to work with both of them.
Cover News: The new year is here, are there any plans and goals?
Zhang Tong: In fact, there have always been plans, and I hope that I can learn more and learn more things. In the "Daughter Flower" filmed by Director Yao before, all the brush words in the play were written by myself. I also hope to learn guzheng, hope to use this skill in future plays, and try to learn as many instruments as possible, hoping that I will have the opportunity to show it in the future. My goal is to act well, that's the foundation. I hope to work with good teams and have more opportunities to create new roles.
