preface
Zhang Weijian, with "Little Fish and Flowers", became a big hit, and then became a popular artist.
However, when he was at his peak, he offended the capital of the Hong Kong circle and ended up infamous.
Zhang Weijian, who had no choice but to come to the mainland for development, could not be reused for a long time, and in a fit of anger, he shaved his hair and decided to "start from scratch", but his fame did not increase but declined.
Could it be that Zhang Weijian, who has "disappeared" at the age of 58, has become a joke?
Assault incidents
In 2004, Zhang Weijian caused controversy because of a physical conflict with actor Wang Bozhao in the crew of "Little Fish and Flowers", which also became an important turning point in his acting career.
The incident of that year happened on an ordinary filming day, the crew was working hard to catch up with the schedule, and the two actors, Zhang Weijian and Wang Bozhao, have also maintained a professional work attitude. However, in the interval of a scene transition, the two had an argument and a physical conflict because of a contradiction the size of a sesame mung bean.
At first, it was just an ordinary verbal spat. But it soon escalated to hand-pushing. When the staff present heard the commotion, they all ran to stop it. But it was too late, Wang Bozhao had already fallen to the ground, and his nose bleeded. This sudden turn of events caught everyone off guard.
Subsequent investigations revealed that the trigger for the dispute was just a trivial matter. But both Zhang Weijian and Wang Bozhao took a tough stance, and one refused to budge, and the result was that the friction escalated and turned into uncontrollable violence.
After this incident, public opinion was in an uproar over Zhang Weijian's criticism. Everyone condemned him for being able to resolve the conflict in other ways, instead of beating people. Some commentators believe that this shows that he is a short-tempered and uncontrollable person. There are also views that even if Wang Bozhao is wrong, Zhang Weijian should not use violence to counter violence.
Although Zhang Weijian was still in the rising stage of his career at that time and was widely loved by the audience, this incident directly dropped his image from a "public lover" to a "violent beater". In the following years, he was burdened with such an iron brand, the director did not dare to use it, and the audience did not dare to praise it, almost to the lowest point of his star career.
Zhang Weijian later apologized publicly many times, saying that he really lost his mind at that time and felt very remorseful and guilty for causing harm to Wang Bozhao. He also personally visited the hospital and sent condolences and blessings, but these remedial actions still could not erase the negative public impression of the incident.
In the following years, Zhang Weijian took on only a handful of works, and he could not regain his former popularity. It wasn't until many years later that it was reported that he began to perform in small venues in various counties, sharing the stage with some unknown actors, and the on-site equipment was poor.
Although he once reached the top of popularity, the scandal caused by the temporary loss of control still made Zhang Weijian pay a heavy price. Even if he apologized afterwards and tried to make amends, it would be difficult to reverse the damaged image.
This experience taught him that there is a lack of tolerance for error in the entertainment industry, and any inappropriate behavior may undo everything that has been worked so hard to build. Now, Zhang Weijian can only start all over again, looking for opportunities to return to the stage in small counties.
Early life experience
Zhang Weijian was born in Hong Kong in 1965, and his father was a seafarer who was always away from home. The mother faced two children alone, and life was very hard. When his father came home, he was short-tempered and often beat his children and wife, and the life at home made Zhang Weijian suffer a lot at a young age. When she was 14 years old, her mother finally couldn't bear it anymore and moved out with her two sons to divorce.
The single mother's livelihood was very poor, Zhang Weijian had to drop out of school, and at the age of 17, he began to work odd jobs to earn money to share the family. During the day he works as a temporary worker at a magazine, and at night he sings or dances in bars.
Since elementary school, Zhang Weijian likes to participate in school drama performances, often doing the work of screenwriter, director and actor by himself.
In 1984, 19-year-old Zhang Weijian signed up for the rookie singing contest held by TVB, which was a great opportunity for him to realize his dream. The first two champions were Anita Mui and Lu Fang, and Zhang Weijian was eager to show off his singing voice and win awards. On the night of the competition, he mustered up the courage to sing Leslie Cheung's masterpiece "Love Cross", and won the championship in one fell swoop.
After winning the award, Zhang Weijian signed a contract with Huaxing Records as he wished to become a singer, but unfortunately the company delayed again and again, and did not release his solo album until a year later.
In desperation, Zhang Weijian switched to the film and television industry, joined TVB with his love for acting, and began his career as an actor. Zhang Weijian, who has just entered the industry, completely started from the trick, and can only play small roles in dramas such as "Dragon Babu" and "Su Qier".
Eight years of training has allowed him to accumulate rich acting skills, Zhang Weijian has no complaints, he just wants to seize every opportunity. In 1990, Zhang Weijian finally played a supporting role in the drama "Old Friends and Ghosts", and he gradually became known.
In 1991, Zhang Weijian got the opportunity to play the leading role in "Sun and Moon Sword", this mythological drama was an unprecedented success, and Zhang Weijian became famous in one fell swoop. In 1992, he successfully transformed into a comedian by teaming up with a popular superstar in the comedy film "Truant Story".
In 1993, Zhang Weijian released his first album "True True and False", which won the Best Newcomer Award at the Top Ten Chinese Golden Melody Awards. Starting from an obscure trick, Zhang Weijian relied on persistence and strength to finally become a first-line star and the king of comedy, and finally reached the pinnacle of the entertainment industry.
Love life
In 1997, Zhang Weijian met an actress named Zhang Qian while filming the kung fu action movie "God Catches the Dragon", and the two met on the set.
Born in Changzhou, Jiangsu Province, Zhang Qian was a well-educated woman who not only sang and painted, but was also proficient in poetry.
Her beauty and temperament left a deep impression on Zhang Weijian, and after Zhang Weijian's passionate pursuit, Zhang Qian was also moved by his sincerity, and the two began a 10-year love story spanning the nine-year age difference.
At first, Zhang Weijian's career was thriving, fame and fortune were gained, and he didn't want to be constrained by feelings, so he refused when Zhang Qian proposed marriage. This led to the breakdown of the relationship between the two, and Zhang Qian chose to leave.
After the breakup, Zhang Weijian's career declined, and only then did he realize how important Zhang Qian was to him. So he looked for Zhang Qian everywhere, and even met her again by chance, rekindling the love between the two.
In 2004, in order to make up for the regrets of the past, Zhang Weijian specially held a simple and grand wedding, promising Zhang Qian to grow old together. Life after marriage should have been happy, but the ensuing changes hit the newlyweds. Zhang Qian lost her child to two miscarriages, she was very painful, and her life was in a slump.
Zhang Weijian accompanied her every step of the way, and patiently told her that it doesn't matter if she has children or not, as long as the two are together, it is the greatest happiness. Under Zhang Weijian's careful care, Zhang Qian gradually came out of the haze, and the two decided to have no children together and lived a simple world of two.
Today, Zhang Weijian's acting career is not as brilliant as that of the superstar back then, but he often says that the days with his beloved wife are the most valuable wealth in his life. He will accompany Zhang Qian for the rest of his life, because Zhang Qian gave him true happiness, which is the most memorable thing in his long life.
Not long ago, Zhang Weijian posted a group photo with Zhang Qian on social media, in which the two snuggled together, with happy smiles on their faces. This once again confirms that after 20 years of ups and downs in their married life, the true love between Zhang Weijian and Zhang Qian has never diminished in the slightest.
No matter what they went through, they still got along with each other, as always. This sincere love across time and space will also inspire countless people to insist on loving each other sincerely in this noisy and impetuous world.
