"Everything is done, everything is happy"
19 years ago, an urban love hit drama "Pink Girl" entered the public's field of vision, which made four "Shibu Girls" a big fire:
What men want to marry "marriage maniac" Liu Reuying;
Chen Hao, the "million charmers" who want love and don't want marriage;
What is the "innocent sister" Xue Jianing, who men can't figure out;
Zhang Yan, the "man wife" who wants to work without love.
Last year's interaction between "marriage maniacs" and "men's wives" brought the audience back to the summer of 2002.
When filming "Pink Girl", they were only in their early 30s, and now they are more than half a hundred years old, which makes people lament that time is fleeting.
However, Zhang Yan, the "man's wife" who made a lot of noise with the popularity and fame of this drama, gradually withdrew from the film and television circle when he was about to reach his peak...
What is it that makes this first-generation domestic modern dance student, Guangzhou beauty pageant champion, and TVB's first mainland training student gradually leave his favorite stage?
Here is a movie love letter, today let's talk about the story of this "contrast goddess" - Zhang Yan
01
In 1980, an ordinary worker family in Xi'an, Shaanxi Province, ushered in a new life, and his parents named him Zhang Yan. There is also an older brother and an older sister in the family.
When Zhang Yan was young, she was a little girl with little words and introverts, very well-behaved and obedient, and never caused trouble outside. Even Zhang Yan's teacher said to her mother, "Your daughter's biggest shortcoming is that she is not good at words, and she does not take the initiative to raise her hand to speak in class."
Zhang Yan attended both primary and secondary school in Xi'an Instrument Factory Children's School (his parents were workers in the Instrument Factory), and Zhang Yan, who inherited his father's tall stature, began to learn to dance at a very young age with his own physical advantages.
So with a foundation in dance, she was easily admitted to the Guangdong Dance School at the age of 17.
At that time, Zhang Yan actually planned to go to Guangdong to study ballet, but he did not expect to find a suitable dance partner for half a day, because he was too tall.
The height of 172cm is really outstanding for a girl, not to mention at an age when everyone is still developing.
Zhang Yan, who could not find a dance partner, did not give up his love for dance, and it just so happened that the formal teaching of modern dance began to enter the mainland at that time, so Zhang Yan naturally became a student who had received the first generation of formal modern dance teaching in Chinese mainland (with Venus).
Just in the second year of school in Guangzhou, the city held the second "Beauty in the Flower City" beauty contest, after the permission of her parents, Zhang Yan participated in the competition with the mentality of trying it out, but she did not expect that she won the championship in the beauty pageant as a dance major.
In fact, it is not difficult to understand, after all, the name "beauty pageant", is not the choice of the external beauty of the face and body, as well as the inner beauty of behavior? Moreover, the young Zhang Yan is indeed a mess of beauty...
After graduation, Zhang Yan joined the Guangdong Experimental Modern Dance Troupe and wanted to dance his life. However, through the introduction of a good friend of the TV station, the open recruitment of the first mainland artist training class of Hong Kong TVB deeply attracted her, because she knew that people like Chow Yun-fat and Maggie Cheung at that time were selected by the training class one by one, and looking at the shining stars on TV, the young Zhang Yan began to have a stage dream of her own.
And this dream will change Zhang Yan's life...

For this "dream", she worked hard and persevered. Even if the environment in the training class is harsh and the conditions are harsh, Zhang Yan bites his teeth and bites to graduation.
A year later, after graduating from the artist training class, Zhang Yan entered TVB as he wished with his outstanding performance in the training class and his good looks.
As an all-round star in the 1990s, TVB cultivated not only acting skills at that time, but also was arranged to host the weekly variety show "Happy Tonight" when she first joined TVB. In addition to the two main hosts, there are seven or eight other hosts, and it is possible that even the entire episode has not been able to insert a word.
But Zhang Yan was hoping to enter TVB acting at that time, after hosting a variety show for more than half a year, she finally got the first role in the show business circle, although there was only a little shot, but it also allowed newcomer actor Zhang Yan to gradually have the opportunity to emerge.
The following year, he also starred in some small roles that are not well known in the drama, but in the "Laughing and Watching the Storm" starring Zheng Shaoqiu Zheng Yijian, a couple played by Gu Juji, who was also a newcomer, and won the Best Couple Award selected by TVB at that time.
It can be seen that this pair of screen CPs is optimistic about the public, but they are only a pair of good friends in reality, and even an MV after Gu Juji filmed this drama invited Zhang Yan to play the heroine.
When recalling this past, Zhang Yan said:
"I met him again once while filming in Shanghai, and he was shooting another scene, and I found that he was older and more mature than when we were shooting 'Laughing at the Wind and Clouds.' He is a very lovely person, in short, good words can be used on him."
Although the resources she received after her debut in TVB were all some supporting roles with pitiful roles, Zhang Yan still worked very hard and seriously, no matter how many scenes or lines there were, she carefully played each of her own roles.
Opportunities are left to those who are prepared, and Zhang Yan is only one chance away from the "dream" that belongs to him.

In 1995, after ending the 3-year contract, Zhang Yan returned to the mainland market.
In the following years, Zhang Yan, who often played some small roles in the showbiz circle, gradually left a little ripple in the hearts of the audience with his own efforts and exquisite acting skills.
The appearance of "Pink Girl" is a big splash in the hearts of the audience.
Although Zhang Yan has played many roles since her debut, most of them appear as supporting roles, but what really makes the people of the whole country know her is the role of "He Runan" in "Pink Girl".
The TV series "Pink Girl" is directed by Wu Zongde and adapted from Zhu Deyong's manga "Shibu Girl" series. At that time, once this drama was broadcast, the response was particularly strong, leaving a very unforgettable memory for the audience. And Zhang Yan, who became popular with the "man's wife", is even more popular in an instant, and the resources are even more continuous.
But just when she was about to reach the peak of her career, she chose marriage and chose family.
04
Zhang Yan's husband is Zhang Jincheng, born in 1965 in Hong Kong, China, 5 years older than Zhang Yan, he is a famous actor and host of TVB.
Many people may not know much about the early Zhang Jincheng, because he also plays some unknown small roles and small supporting roles like Zhang Yan. However, a few years ago, there was a web drama "Yu Sin" starring Zhang Yishan, and the big brother of Yu Sin, "Fu Guosheng", was played by Zhang Yan's husband Zhang Jincheng.
As early as 1996, Zhang Yan and Zhang Jincheng met in "Walking Around Shenzhou", but they did not have a good feeling for each other after they first met. Zhang Jincheng, who worked as a radio DJ, once sent Zhang Yan a tape with his own broadcast content, although Zhang Yan admired his voice.
However, because of their work relationship, they are limited to cooperation and do not produce much spark.
Even Zhang Jincheng copied Zhang Yan's mobile phone number wrong, so that they did not have any contact for the next 5 years.
But 5 years later, Zhang Yan, who left TVB, was reunited with Zhang Jincheng on the streets of Beijing, and the drive of fate made the two parallel hearts have a point of intersection, and it was not known which line was tilted, and the parties also regarded it as a secret.
When "Pink Girl" was successful, Zhang Jincheng became Zhang Yan's agent, and then the distance between the two gradually became closer, and they were upgraded from working partners to lovers. In the process of falling in love, Zhang Jincheng proposed to Zhang Yan more than once, until the third time Zhang Jincheng suddenly fell to his knees in a school, and finally Zhang Yan agreed to this infatuated man.
In 2004, they registered their marriage in Hong Kong, and a year after their marriage, they also ushered in the crystallization of their love.
After returning to the family, Zhang Yan rarely appeared in the audience's field of vision, although she has also filmed many scenes over the years, but her focus is still on the family, and plain is the best state.
Life is fast and fast, slow and slow, and two people who love each other together will feel happy every day. It's like a song that says, "Love the right person, Valentine's Day goes by every day."
Similarly, for Zhang Jincheng, popularity and popularity are not the most important things. Compared with filming, the wife and children are the most important thing for themselves. He once said:
"Enjoy a dull life and live every day with your family"
The couple is not like other artist couples because of their career gatherings, more importantly, they still love each other deeply after marriage, and have never had any gossip, counting as a low-key "model couple" in the circle.
Zhang Yan, who is now 51 years old, earned enough tears from the audience in a drama "Mother Waiting for You" at the beginning of this year, and under such a delicate performance, the image of this Chinese-style mother was three-dimensional and vivid.
In fact, as early as many years ago, in a high-scoring TV series "Parental Love", Zhang Yan's gentleness and virtuousness have been deeply rooted in people's hearts.
And now Zhang Yan has short hair, and the traces of old age on his face can't help but make people sigh that time is fleeting, and the appearance of the original amazing person no longer exists, but
No matter what stage of life we go to
You should all enjoy that time
Complete the responsibilities that should be done at that stage
Go with the flow
Don't indulge in the past
Don't be fanatical about the future
Life is like this...
Finally, I wish them happiness, happiness and health
