"The king of heaven paved the way for him, and Leslie Cheung called him a brother"
This person is none other than Zhang Weijian, from "Monkey King" to "Little Fish and Flowers", he has created countless classic film and television works. It was a smash hit in the film industry.
However, as time passed, we rarely heard from him again. Is it retiring, or is it already "outdated"?
The road to fame
Zhang Weijian was born in a single-parent family and experienced poverty and hardship at a young age. However, the illusions in the young man's heart convinced him that these sufferings were only for the test of becoming a hero in the future. Zhang Weijian always fantasized that there was a hero who could save him from fire and water.
One day, he met Leslie Cheung by chance, and this chance encounter unexpectedly became the noble person of his life. Zhang Weijian is full of trust in this melancholy "brother". The first time they met, he revealed his tragic childhood and those whimsical dreams to Leslie Cheung.
After listening to his story, Leslie Cheung decided to help this "smart" young man out of his predicament. With his help, Zhang Weijian successfully won the championship of the TVB Singing Contest that year with his natural appearance and excellent singing voice.
This brought Zhang Weijian great confidence and motivation, and also made him more determined in his dream.
However, when he decided to become a real singer, he was thwarted by his agency. In desperation, Zhang Weijian had to temporarily give up his music dream and devote himself to his acting career.
It was only after becoming an actor that he truly realized that the industry is not easy. Every character needs to be carefully studied, and every detail needs to be pondered over and over again.
But he has never forgotten his original intention and dream, he still continues to work hard to hone his acting skills, and looks forward to one day being able to return to the center of the stage again and touch more people with his singing.
Young and frivolous
In 1996, Zhang Weijian was invited to play the role of Monkey King in the TV series "Journey to the West", which won wide acclaim as soon as it was broadcast, making Zhang Weijian an instant hit.
Prior to this, the total revenue of "Journey to the West" reached more than 200 million yuan, and the director team had high hopes for this work and soon prepared a sequel.
With the previous success, the director team is full of confidence in "Journey to the West Sequel".
Soon, filming was on the agenda. However, when talking about the salary of the sequel, Zhang Weijian had a disagreement with TVB. It is said that the total income of this drama reached 200 million, and as the leading actor, he received only 70,000 or 80,000 yuan.
Zhang Weijian expressed dissatisfaction with this and asked for a salary increase, but was ridiculed. "If you don't have hair on your face, you have no value!" This sentence hit him hard.
So, the next day, he made a surprising decision - to shave his head. He wanted to prove to those who mocked him that even if he had no hair, he still had his worth.
This decision made Zhang Weijian completely offend the company, and his development in the Hong Kong circle has almost stagnated since then.
The love scene is proud
Zhang Qian and Zhang Wei In 1997, they co-starred in the TV series "Joy of the Dragon", which was just the beginning of their first cooperation. It is said that at that time, they did not spark love.
Two years later, they worked together again to star in the TV series "The Legend of Chen Mengji", and this cooperation slowly ignited the feelings between them, and both parties had love, and they soon came together.
However, love cannot be maintained by feelings alone, and material life is equally important. Although Zhang Weijian was young at that time, his financial situation was not ideal. However, Zhang Qian didn't care about this, she was still firmly with him.
In this way, they spent six wonderful years together, however, what woman would not want to spend her life with her lover? But during this time, Zhang Weijian did not mention marriage. It wasn't until Zhang Qian took the initiative to take the initiative that things took a turn for the better. However, life is always full of unknowns, and they eventually chose to break up.
Despite his busy career, Zhang Weijian has never forgotten Zhang Qian. He knows that love needs to be proven by practical actions. As his career gradually stabilized, the first thing he did was to marry Zhang Qian.
After marriage, Zhang Qian's addition to the family not only filled the damage he suffered in his original family, but also gave him deep love and support.
The fake scene is really done, and people are beaten on the set
"Little Fish and Flowers" is a high-profile drama series directed by well-known director Wang Jing, and the leading actors are all popular figures at the time.
However, an accident on the set caused a lot of turmoil. Well-known actor Wang Bozhao accused Zhang Weijian and Nicholas Tse of fake scenes during filming, beat him to serious injuries, and took them to court.
It is rumored that in a scene in the play, Jiang Beihe, played by Wang Bozhao, clashed with the characters in the play, and Xiao Yuer and Hua Wujian punched and kicked him.
Unexpectedly, these two actors actually made a move and seriously injured him. As soon as this incident came out, it immediately attracted the attention and heated discussions of the majority of netizens.
Regarding this incident, it is rumored that Hong Kong and Taiwan stars look down on mainland stars, and always have a feeling of superiority, and often take revenge in private in the name of filming. At the same time, it is also reported that Wang Bozhao relied on his high status and often flirted with makeup artists, and Zhang Weijian and Nicholas Tse couldn't stand it and taught him a lesson.
Although Mr. Cheung and Nicholas Tse visited Mr. Wang in the hospital afterwards and apologized, they did not seem to quell his anger. For this practice, some netizens expressed incomprehension, thinking that an apology can avoid harm to others, so isn't the world chaotic?
Wang Bozhao eventually took Zhang Weijian and Nicholas Tse to court. This incident shocked the entire entertainment industry and made many people question their image.
Surprisingly, director Wang Jing also expressed his opinion on this matter. He publicly said that this incident was completely hyped up by Wang Bozhao, and praised Zhang Weijian and Nicholas Tse for being very dedicated, just filming according to the rules. In addition, he felt that there was something wrong with Wang Bozhao's way of acting.
What's even more shocking is that in order to prove her claim, Wang Jing slapped herself six times in public, claiming that it didn't hurt for her to beat her like this.
In the end, the court's verdict Zhang Weijian and Nicholas Tse need to apologize to Wang Bozhao. The matter was finally settled, but the reputation and image of Zhang Weijian and Nicholas Tse were indeed greatly affected. There are also rumors that Zhang Weijian was banned in the mainland because of this incident...
