"After "Can't Escape", there are no more 'ruthless people' on the Chinese screen. ”
There should be many people who don't have any impression of the name Zhao Yan Guozhang, but what if I mention "Zhang Shihao" in "Can't Escape"?
This character, which is based on the "Rich Man" Zhang Ziqiang, the king of thieves in the last century, is still a classic villain in the hearts of countless audiences 23 years after it was broadcast in the millennium.
The actor who plays Zhao Shihao in the play is Zhao Yanguozhang, who has debuted for many years, he is the representative of "drama celebrities are not popular", and even his teacher once said: "Zhao Yanguozhang may not be able to play the protagonist in his life"!
But who would have thought that this "Hao brother" was once secretly in love with the goddess Jiang Wenli, and what happened later that he married a "foreign daughter-in-law" and gave birth to a beautiful mixed-race baby?
Choices at a young age
Zhao Yanguozhang was not called this name at the beginning, his parents gave him the name Zhao Yanguo, and the reason why he changed his name was to commemorate his deceased teacher Zhang Guixia.
He was born in a village in Hebei Province one summer in 1966, and unlike the children who were born with a top-notch education, his family was very poor.
At that time, many children in poor rural areas did not go to primary school, and they had to help their parents work from the beginning of their understanding, but even if his family had five children, Zhao's father gritted his teeth and let them go to school.
Unexpectedly, Zhao Yanguozhang was exceptionally smart, not only with high grades, but also often skipping grades, not to mention before, even if he graduated from junior high school at the age of 13 now, it is very powerful, not to mention that Zhao Yanguozhang was still the second in their county at that time.
But it's a pity that Zhao Yanguozhang didn't go to high school, because the tuition fee was really unaffordable for his family, so he thought about the future after giving up school.
This is 1978, Zhao Yanguozhang accidentally entered a drama troupe in Hebei Province, in the troupe, he studied seriously, studied hard, and those days were not good memories for Zhao Yanguozhang.
But fortunately, he met his mentor - Zhang Guixia, she sang in the troupe as a Peking Opera veteran, and in the years when he studied art, Zhang Guixia was definitely his warmest memory.
After becoming famous, Zhao Yanguozhang always wanted to make a documentary for Zhang Guixia, but unfortunately it went against people's wishes, Zhang Guixia died, and this incident hit Zhao Yanguozhang very hard.
The first thing he did when he came out of his grief was to change his name to commemorate Teacher Zhang Guixia, but these are all later words.
Later, he was assigned to the Baoding Art Troupe, and after two years as a choreographer, he found that he was not satisfied with the status quo, so he made a surprising decision that he was going to university at the age of 22.
Bumps in the road to fame
However, at this time, he hadn't gone to school for many years, but thanks to the foundation when he was a child, he studied hard to prepare for the exam, and finally his hard work paid off, and he was finally admitted to Nortel.
However, the school that Zhao Yanguozhang wanted to apply for at the beginning was Chinese opera, but fate made people, and his file was not delivered in time, but fortunately, Zhao Yanguozhang was also very satisfied with Nortel.
In 1988, 22-year-old Zhao Yanguozhang became a freshman in the Performance Department of Beijing Film Academy.
But this did not affect the relationship between him and his classmates, and after gradually getting acquainted, he became the "big brother" of his classmates, usually serving as the "backbone" of the class, and his classmates trusted him extraordinarily.
Nortel is not lacking in beautiful women, at that time, many girls in the school were in favor of Zhao Yanguozhang, it can be said that Zhao Yanguozhang's love letters have received soft hands, and his classmate Jiang Wenli also had a crush on him.
But at that time, Zhao Yanguozhang's heart only had learning, he cherished this hard-won opportunity, for him, those feelings and love were floating clouds, and he had no time to fall in love.
He only starred in his first TV series in 1994, are you curious, did Zhao Yanguozhang graduate early? Why did he only receive the first role two years later?
This really responds to what his teacher said to him when he graduated: "Although your grades are very good, you are not suitable for playing the leading role", after graduation, the students' careers are gradually on the right path, only he has not received a job.
After playing "Mei Lanfang", although they received some supporting roles without a few lines, their careers gradually improved, and Zhao Yanguozhang was also very happy.
Just after Zhao Yanguozhang gradually accepted what the teacher said at that time, thinking that he would always be like this in the future, an opportunity completely changed his fate.
A two-sided life
At that time, it was 2000, a "Wings Can't Escape" made him popular all over the country, and the role he played in the play was called "Zhang Shihao", in order to understand the character of the prototype Zhang Ziqiang, he also flew to Hong Kong to inquire.
After the TV series was launched, the audience was surprised to find that Zhao Yanguozhang brought a surprise to everyone, Zhang Shihao in the play even looked similar to Zhang Ziqiang back then.
It can be said that the role of Zhang Shihao brought Zhao Yanguozhang's career to the peak, what does that sentence say, "Zhang Shihao has made him, but it has also limited him".
But since then, most of the scripts received by Zhao Yan Guozhang are "villains", but Zhao Yan Guozhang is not satisfied with this, he began to work hard to break through the audience's impression of him, try roles with different personalities, and begin to transform into a director.
is very different from the villains in those film and television dramas, he is exceptionally gentle and family-oriented in daily life, he met his wife in 1996, it was a party, and he fell in love with the blonde-haired Anna at first sight.
The two exchanged contact information in this way, and although it didn't take long for Anna to leave Beijing for work reasons, the two kept in touch often, and it didn't take long for the two to be together.
Finally, in the third year of Zhao Yanguozhang and Anna's relationship, he successfully hugged the beauty, and the two entered the palace of marriage together, and there was a super cute mixed-race baby between the two.
Although the two of them often live apart for work reasons after marriage, neither of them cheated on the mistress like others in the entertainment industry, but loved each other as they did at the beginning, guarding the small family of the three people.
