Zhang Yi refused to sign the book "Hurricane" on the scene of the promotion of the new film, why did he dislike "Hurricane"? The reasons behind it are complicated

Text/Ah Liang

"Hurricane" is the finale for a long time, but the follow-up is not over yet, mainly because of the contradiction between Zhang Yi and "Hurricane", which is suspected to be intensifying.

Recently, at the roadshow promotion site of the movie "Priceless Treasure", some netizens took a physical book of "Hurricane" and wanted to find Zhang Yi to sign it. As soon as Zhang Yi saw the title of the book, he hurriedly waved his hand again and again, and then folded his hands together to express his apologies.

Zhang Yi's move is to avoid suspicion for the movie "Priceless Treasure", or does he not want to have anything to do with "Hurricane"? It can only be said that the contradiction between Zhang Yi and the crew of "Hurricane" is too confusing.

Today, Ah Liang tried to peel off the cocoon and talk about the grievances and hatreds behind Zhang Yi and the crew of "Hurricane".

[1] Zhang Yi, who does not participate in the promotion of the drama

In addition to not signing, Zhang Yi's disagreement with the crew of "Hurricane" began in the broadcast stage. It stands to reason that the drama in which he participated was launched, and it was a win-win situation with the publicity. But Zhang Yi, who is usually warm-hearted, was stunned from the start of "Hurricane" to the end, and he didn't post a single news.

If you want to say that Zhang Yi usually doesn't have an online account, that's it, but during the broadcast of "Hurricane", Zhang Yi participated in the movie "Man Jianghong" three times, and he was shouting hard. In such a comparison, the public opinion of "Zhang Yi and the Hurricane crew broke up" was noisy.

Why Zhang Yi didn't promote "Hurricane" has become the biggest suspense in the "Fog Theater" in 2023. There are even more opinions on the Internet, Zhang Songwen and Zhang Yi have already fought several times, it is really a different kind of "Zhang Gong case".

At this time, Ah Liang wanted to interject a digression, "Hurricane" is not the first time that Zhang Yi has not participated in the publicity, and "Beijing Love Story" is the first battle that he does not cooperate with the drama announcement.

At that time, Zhang Yi, Chen Sicheng and Li Chen finished filming "Soldier Assault" and "My Regiment Commander" one after another, and they all signed with Huayi Brothers, which is simply a good brother wearing the same pair of pants.

Chen Sicheng said that he wanted to transform into a director, in addition to contributing his original novel "Invincible" as a script, Li Chen also won the position of producer, Zhang Yi pushed down other film appointments, low salary to participate in the support, and finally achieved Chen Sicheng's "self-directed, self-written and self-acting" as the selling point of "Beijing Love Story".

This cooperation is like a group assignment arranged by the teacher, Li Chen and Zhang Yi provide materials, write scripts, dredge relationships, find actors, and are busy until the end, Chen Sicheng, who came on stage to make a report, said directly, "Yes, I made it all by myself."

What's more critical is that the roles played by Zhang Yi and Li Chen in this group assignment have been described as disgraceful existences. Li Chen was lucky, and he got a simple, kind, and affectionate "Wu Di", and when he arrived at Zhang Yi, he became a self-interested phoenix man "Shi Xiaomeng".

For the sake of 200,000 yuan and the future, he could give up his girlfriend "Shen Bing", and in order to retaliate, he also violated "Lin Xia". In the end, Shi Xiaomeng betrayed his relatives and left, his girlfriend and brothers all left him, and he surrendered and apologized. At that time, the character of Shi Xiaomeng was scolded the most, saying that he was "snobbish, spineless, and willing to die to save face".

It doesn't matter if the character design is not pleasing, the key is that in order to highlight the CP line between himself and Tong Liya, Chen Sicheng also cut a lot of Zhang Yi's scenes. Zhang Yi didn't do it anymore, and just let it go, I didn't like this script, and I took it because I didn't read the book.

In addition, Zhang Yi also revealed that Shi Xiaomeng's character in the script is even worse, he is a very unbearable person who is full of swearing, and he has "revised the script under pressure". When the grievances were pulled to the back, Zhang Yi directly admitted: Yes, I no longer have contact with Chen Sicheng.

But how to say that "domestic entertainment doesn't talk about grievances, only about interests", just this year, the "Iron Triangle" Zhang Yi, Li Chen, and Chen Sicheng gathered again in the movie "Three Teams", with Chen Sicheng as the producer, Zhang Yi starring, and Li Chen starring.

Of course, "Hurricane" is not the worst, at least Zhang Yi still posted a preview before the broadcast of the show, and when it came to "Guardian Beauty" in cooperation with Li Xiaolu, there was no publicity directly, and only one praise was obtained, so I really couldn't watch this drama.

Even, the leading actors are too lazy to even do superficial work, and there is no mutual relationship. At that time, the reason given by netizens was that Zhang Yi and Li Chen had a good relationship, and Li Chen and Li Xiaolu had an ex relationship, so Zhang Yi still chose to ignore Li Xiaolu.

Okay, after chatting about the gossip, let's continue to focus on "Hurricane".

On February 1, 2023, "Hurricane" ended successfully, and Zhang Songwen, Gao Ye, Li Yitong and other actors sent small compositions, one is to say goodbye to the characters in the play, and the other is to thank the show for the heat.

For example, Zhang Songwen elaborated on every detail of his role as Gao Qiqiang, and the topic suddenly rushed to the first place in the hot search; Lin Jiachuan also wrote a large article with sincerity, talking about his first meeting with Zhang Songwen, becoming a partner in "Hurricane", and in the face of the sudden "red", Zhang Songwen specially called him to talk about family life, and pulled him back to reality who was almost "floating".

Among them, only Zhang Yi did not say a word from beginning to end, nor did he participate in the crew's follow-up celebration banquet, as if he had nothing to do with this work. Even, on the second day after the end of "Hurricane", the only blog post posted on September 15, 2022 that was related to "Hurricane" was deleted.

For a drama that brought him a lot of dividends, he deleted the blog instead of promoting the drama, which further triggered speculation about their relationship with the outside world.

Some netizens think that "Zhang Yi is low-key and may not want to gain popularity", and some netizens said, "You don't have to cooperate with publicity to prove that you love this drama, you take the role seriously, and it is enough to carefully design the plot, don't bring useless to good actors".

Some netizens incarnated as Di Renjie and checked Zhang Yi's online records, showing that the last time it was online was on January 22, 2022, and it was not online at all on February 2, suspecting that there was a bug in the system. However, the platform staff responded that this content was "deleted by Zhang Yi".

This move, to say that the two sides did not have any contradictions, it does not make sense. In order to calm down the online comments, the crew of "Hurricane" had to come forward to clarify that the false news with Zhang Yi was purely a rumor.

But soon, the controversy returned. "Hurricane" was broadcast on TVB in Hong Kong, but in the poster released, Zhang Yi's name was removed from the starring column. And in the TVB poster, the C position is occupied by Zhang Songwen, and Zhang Yi is arranged next to him.

Ah Liang guessed that TVB may have taken advantage of Gao Qiqiang's popularity and to ensure the ratings, so he made such a promotion. But after seeing the feedback on the Internet, TVB also made changes in time and put Zhang Yi back in the C position.

[2] Zhang Yi's discord speculation with "Hurricane".

The contradictions are all clear, so what is the reason for all this? Ah Liang has summarized 7 points for you to make a reference answer.

First, Zhang Yi was accused of being a "drama bully" by the actresses in the same crew, adding drama to other actors.

Some netizens said that they visited the class during the filming of "Hurricane", and the crew was very good. He believes that it is Zhang Yi who should be explained. accused Zhang Yi of being cautious, having a bad temper during the crew, always getting angry, and changing the script many times, often changing the roles of other artists to the end, obviously others can call it a day first when they shoot a scene, and finally scold other artists for not being punctual and unworthy of art. and revealed that Zhang Yi used a stand-in for filming the running scene, and scolded him for looking down on TV series, so he went to act in a movie.

In this passage, the prejudice against Zhang Yi is very deep, and Zhang Yi is not said in and out of the words. Ah Liang felt that this revelation was too fake and not credible, and it was more like a black fan speech. Zhang Yi has always been a strong person, in the part of being an actor, he is recognized as a powerful person, and if he has requirements for other actors, he will definitely be unhappy.

But soon, the material of "Hurricane" actress Liu Ruoqing (as Jiang Chao) who publicly bombarded Zhang Yi was revealed. Some netizens gave Liu Ruoqing advice, thinking that her role was not as brilliant as the "chronic child policeman", and her style was also collapsed, so let her explore the role that suits her.

As a result, Liu Ruoqing posted a long article suggesting that he didn't have many scenes because he didn't know how to shoot horses. In her description, Zhang Yi has become a "drama bully". The role of Jiang Chao was very important in the original script, but it was deleted by Zhang Yi on the grounds that "female policemen can't go to the police". "Chronic Policeman" is Zhang Yijia's play, and it is completely up to him to decide.

According to the analysis of netizens, the "chronic police officer" is An Xin's CP Xiaowu in the later stage, because Xiaowu's role is quite heavy, but she doesn't even have a name in the cast, and it is likely that she is an actor in a group, that is, a group performance.

And Liu Ruoqing's role is An Xin's apprentice Jiang Chao, a beautiful policewoman with a heroic posture. Her name appeared at the bottom of the cast list, and she also participated in the makeup photos of the crew, and it can be seen that the original role is obviously heavier than that of Xiao Wu.

In addition, some netizens said that the role of "Little Five" was originally not in the script of "Hurricane", but it was designed by Zhang Yi. An Xin has endured humiliation and sacrificed everything for many years, it seems that even Zhang Yi himself thinks An Xin is too bitter, so he gives him a little sweetness at the end.

Netizens continue to speculate that in the original script, the younger generation of policemen should mainly talk about Lu Han and this Jiang Chao, and the other policemen are group performances without names. But Zhang Yi felt that there were improvements in the script, so he added the scenes of group performances, and also greatly deleted Jiang Chao's scenes, causing her to become a background board.

It's no wonder that Liu Ruoqing is very resentful in his heart, and he repeatedly translates yin and yang on social platforms. For example, netizens asked "Is Zhang Yi very handsome?" and she replied: "Hehe, it's good if you like it." ”

For another example, netizens thought that Jiang Chao should be with An Xin, and she bluntly said "I'm afraid I won't be able to serve". After finishing the fight, he was still uncomfortable, and after a week, he posted a message and continued to fire: "Where is An Xin reliable? A man with a good character, a consistent appearance, and not bullying a weak man is the most reliable."

Even when asked "Is it good to cooperate with Zhang Yi", she didn't pretend anymore, and directly tore her face: "Well, the kind of good that I don't want to see in my life." ”

For a while, black material about Zhang Yi flew all over the sky, causing a lot of dissatisfaction among Zhang Yi's fans.

But the reversal came quickly. I don't know if it was forced by the pressure of public opinion, or if he wanted to forcibly save his dignity after being exposed, Liu Ruoqing began to clarify for Zhang Yi, saying that he has always respected Zhang Yi, saying that he is not only a professional actor, but also a very "warm" person in life, as a junior, Zhang Yi is the goal of her efforts.

It's a pity that this wave of afterthought did not win the understanding of netizens. If she really respected Zhang Yi, she would not have publicly made those misleading remarks on the Internet.

But netizens are not the parties, they can only "see flowers in the fog", after all, this is just Liu Ruoqing's family's words. If Zhang Yi doesn't come forward to respond, this matter will most likely become a "Rashomon".

Second, Zhang Yi's title of "art director" is suspected of being deprived.

It is worth noting that Zhang Yi not only starred in "Hurricane", he is also the "artistic director" of the crew. During the filming, he guided other actors through the scenes and participated in the design of many "famous scenes".

Li Xiang shouted "ringing"; echoed with "sparrow" and "young eagle"; at the commendation meeting, he hid the phone in a bandage; when he was undercover, he shook the lunch box and grabbed lots; when Xiao Wu was tied up; An Xin used the "cordon" to force Gao Qiqiang back;

In the part of the office dispute, Lao Li, Yingzi, Gouzi, Da Liu and other policemen were actually not in the script, Zhang Yi brought them into the Jinghai Criminal Investigation Detachment, patiently helped the young actors to play, and taught the prop master how to use balloons and powder to make a fried effect.

From the above, it can be seen how thoroughly Zhang Yi studied the whole play, and spent a lot of effort for "Hurricane". The explosion of the show is indeed indispensable to Zhang Yi's contributions.

However, at the beginning and end of the feature film, there is no indication of Zhang Yi as the art director, and his name only appears in the leading actor column.

Third, Zhang Yi and director Xu Jizhou's creative ideas are at odds.

Some entertainment broke the news that his little sister used to work in a crew in Guangdong, and mentioned the gossip in the group at that time, saying that the director and the male protagonist were very axial, because of the differences in artistic concepts, and they had a lot of trouble during the filming, almost to the point where they stopped talking after the play.

Although this entertainment reporter did not name the play as "Hurricane", this is what is revealed between the lines, and "Hurricane" happened to be filmed somewhere in Guangdong.

Therefore, back to the filming of "Hurricane", can the director Xu Jizhou, who has a straight temper, meet an art director like Zhang Yi, who "cameo" the screenwriter, executive director, acting director, and prop master on the spot?

There is Zhang Yi, which is a blessing for other actors and netizens in "Hurricane", but it is not necessarily Xu Jizhou's. Moreover, Zhang Yi did not participate in the final group photo of the crew of "Hurricane", it is very likely that the gap between him and Xu Jizhou will be born.

Haiqing also broke the news that Zhang Yi was embarrassed for a while because the screenwriter dropped the book at the filming site, and he stopped talking after the fall. As a result, the host punctured the truth: Teacher Haiqing is really kind, in fact, that fire is not because of the screenwriter, but also because of you.

Haiqing didn't believe it, so the show played Zhang Yi's apology audio on the spot, and Haiqing was so angry that he wanted to talk to each other on the spot, but Zhang Yi said "What do you want me to say", and Haiqing, who swallowed it back in a foul language, announced that he would never cooperate with Zhang Yi again.

Fourth, many highlight scenes suspected of being Zhang Yi were deleted.

"Hurricane" has been deleted and modified, and from the mismatch between the mouth shape and lines in the later stage, it can be seen that many plots have been changed. But to tell the truth, in a drama like "Hurricane", it is normal to delete scenes, if one is not deleted, it will be abnormal.

can say that a large number of Zhang Yi's scenes have been deleted, there is no direct evidence for this view, and it is difficult to judge whether it is true or false, but the number of episodes has been deleted, which is certain. Wang Jiachen, who participated in the acting, said that a total of 100 episodes of material were filmed, and only 39 episodes were cut in the end, and the three episodes of 2010, 2018, and 2020 were all cut.

However, according to Xu Jizhou, "Hurricane" was originally 43 episodes, and later it was cut to 39 episodes. The deleted part is mainly focused on the scenes of Chen Shuting and Xu Jiang, and the part that involves the development of the plot is actually not cut. The implication seems to indicate that the content related to Zhang Yi has not been deleted.

Carefully comparing the roles of Zhang Yi and Zhang Songwen, it is obvious that the role of "An Xin" is too one-sided and empty in the later stage, and it is too flat. As the protagonist, there should be a lot of scenes to shape the character and reflect its growth, but none of these. On the contrary, the scenes of Gao Qiqiang and the Gao family were filmed in great detail.

Later, some netizens said that An Xin's flat personality may be related to the addition of actors in the later stage of the crew. Compared with the official announcement list before and after the start-up and finalization, there are more Wu Gang and Li Jianyi. It is speculated that in order to highlight the spirit of anti-gangstery, the role of the guidance group was temporarily increased, and An Xin's role was assigned to the guidance group, which reduced the role, which can also explain why An Xin appeared so little in the next few games.

Fifth, most of the highlights of the scenes are focused on Gao Qiqiang, and the value guidance is biased.

It is undeniable that from the clips that have been broadcast so far, it can be seen that the focus of the drama and publicity is on Gao Qiqiang, which Ah Liang believes many netizens have also seen.

Gao Qiqiang, the black boss, was portrayed as flesh and blood, and An Xin's early role was still standing, but in the last few episodes, he was completely a tool man. This has led to netizens not feeling much about the righteous side, but on the contrary, they have all kinds of sympathy for the evil side, and even rose to the point of worship.

When Xu Jizhou was promoting, he was asked about An Xin's thoughts on the creation of the role, and he directly turned to Gao Qiqiang, which was biased.

And Huang Yao's actor was scolded by some netizens for being a white-eyed wolf during the live broadcast, on the grounds that she betrayed Gao Qiqiang.

A black boss who killed his father, whoever sees it will be disgusted and resist, Huang Yao was actually scolded as a white-eyed wolf, which is enough to show that "Hurricane" wrote Gao Qiqiang too well, and portrayed An Xin and other righteous parties who protect the people too poorly. In terms of the guidance of values, there is a serious bias.

Sixth, it is suspected that Zhang Yi was tragically replaced, and his hard work in the early preparation was in vain.

There is a revelation that the actors who were looking for at the beginning of the drama "Hurricane" were young A and middle-aged B, and middle-aged B polished his original role very well, but he didn't expect A to push it after finding out that his role was lackluster. After several twists and turns, B went to play the role of A, and the original role of B was replaced by C, which led to all the efforts B had made before becoming a wedding dress for C, and the contradiction arose.

Combined with the prominent contradictions between Zhang Yi and the crew of "Hurricane" during that period of time, many netizens took their seats and said that A is Yang Yang, B is Zhang Yi, and C is Zhang Songwen.

Originally, the truth of this revelation is unknown. Who would have thought that Xu Jizhou actually liked a dynamic of "Originally, An Xin's role was going to be played by Yang Yang, but after being rejected by the other party, he was temporarily replaced by Zhang Yi to save the scene", which gave this fake melon a bit of credibility. Although Xu Jizhou later posted an explanation that this was a slippery hand.

Seventh, "Hurricane" is suspected of plagiarizing "National Action".

In addition to the suspected contradiction in the relationship with Zhang Yi, "Hurricane" was also exposed to other problems. For example, the plot is plagiarized from "National Action" directed by Gao Qunshu, which is based on the fact that both dramas are based on the same event.

"National Action" started filming in 2016 and was scheduled for CCTV in 2020, but it was suddenly withdrawn before the broadcast, and it was never broadcast again. Coincidentally, Zhang Yi also participated in the play, judging from the exposed group photos, the atmosphere of the crew is very good.

In addition, Gao Qunshu also commented on the sentence "for others to plagiarize", which is meaningful, and many netizens suspect that Gao Qunshu is connotating "Hurricane".

The second coincidence is that Xu Jizhou, the director of "Hurricane", and Gao Qunshu, the director of "National Action", have a master-apprentice relationship. The fate of the two began in the sequel to "Thirteen Murders" "The Truth". Later, when Gao Qunshu was leading the documentary TV series "Fighting the Black Storm", Xu Jizhou also participated in the filming of several stories.

plagiarized "National Action", Ah Liang doesn't know, but there are indeed many plots in "Hurricane" that make people dream back to "Conquest". Especially the part where Gao Qiqiang rode an electric car, there was a lot of magical linkage with Liu Huaqiang, which can be regarded as a wave of memory killing.

Gao Qunshu said in an interview that Liu Huaqiang and Gao Qiqiang are easily associated with each other, but they are not the same. But he didn't compare the similarities between "National Action" and "Hurricane" head-on.

However, at present, Gao Qunshu does not have much ill will towards "Hurricane", he has posted several updates related to "Hurricane" on his account, and he also praised the actors and was pleased with Xu Jizhou's achievements.

In addition, this third coincidence is that the movie "The Tip of the Knife", directed by Gao Qunshu and starring Zhang Yi, is about to be released. Gao Qunshu's wave of linkage, Zhang Yi's non-response, and Xu Jizhou's passivity, I always feel that things are not ordinary.

As a hit drama at the beginning of the year, "Hurricane" has gained a lot of attention, and most of the actors in the play have also ushered in a new peak in their careers, such as Zhang Songwen and Gao Ye, who have been silent for many years, and finally stood in front of the stage.

For Zhang Yi, this is another high-quality masterpiece, but now it has become so embarrassing, even a lose-lose situation, Ah Liang is deeply sad and regretful.

But as far as the drama "Hurricane" is concerned, Zhang Yi has done it decently, he has not been bad in the crew, and he has no acting skills, which is the best respect he gives to netizens who watch the show.
