There is always a good drama that will be mentioned repeatedly, such as "Bright Sword".

Since its premiere in 2005, 18 years have passed, and it is still a classic drama in the hearts of countless people, and I even take it out and watch it again every once in a while.

In the play, Li Yunlong, the head of the regiment played by Li Youbin, Zhao Gang, the political commissar played by He Zhengjun, Chu Yunfei played by Zhang Guangbei, and Wei Dayong (Wei Monk) played by Zhang Tong, etc., all left an indelible impression on the audience.

The characters in "Bright Sword" are flesh and blood, vivid, and the lines are especially down-to-earth, even if there are some sequels under the banner of "Bright Sword" in the future, they can't surpass everyone in the original play.

Recently, the four male actors in "Bright Sword" reunited at an actor event!

Look at them: regiment commander Li Yunlong, political commissar Zhao Gang, Chu Yunfei, and monks.

During the event, the four of them visited the Yuhuatai Martyrs Memorial Hall in Nanjing, and each expressed their thoughts and guiding significance for future artistic creation.

Except for the unforgiving years and getting older, Li Youbin, He Zhengjun, and Zhang Guangbei's appearance has basically not changed much, and they can be recognized at a glance, but the other one is slightly different-

When the three seniors in front of him spoke, Zhang Tong stood next to them, with a casual hairstyle, glasses, and lowered his eyes, and he didn't see that he was a "monk" at first glance!

The "monk" looked like such a passer-by, he almost didn't recognize it!

But as soon as Zhang Tong began, the style of a good actor immediately sparkled on him again.

It's rare to see four people in the same frame at the same time, it really quickly evokes the good memories of countless audiences, in everyone's eyes, no matter what role they play again, the first thing that comes to mind is the classic role in "Bright Sword".

After all, it is too classic, especially the perfect match between the actor's temperament and the character's temperament, it can be said that every actor in "Bright Sword" is a unique match, and there is no second actor who can fit the role so well.

When it comes to the role of a monk, the audience likes it too much, and in the drama "Bright Sword", his fate has also touched the hearts of countless audiences.

He was the former sergeant squad leader of the 27th Division of the Central Army, was wounded and captured by the Japanese during the Battle of Xinkou, and after escaping, he joined the Independent Regiment of the 386th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army, first serving as the guard of the political commissar Zhao Gang, and then as the guard of the regiment commander Li Yunlong.

The monk is an upright and bloody man, brave and good at fighting, and later fell into an ambush and died heroically, which made the audience sigh. Zhang Tong played this role, which was both reckless and affectionate, and thus became a popular actor among the audience.

As the first post-80s emperor in China, Zhang Tong is definitely an "outlier".

He became popular because of "Bright Sword", but he never regarded himself as a star, he is a drama idiot, in daily life, he is simple and low-key, he once struggled with depression, and almost wanted to jump from the 8th floor.

That's because not long after "Bright Sword", Zhang Tong, who was filming at the time, was repeatedly accused by the director of that drama, and ridiculed him for not being able to act, and let him be gossiped privately by other people in the crew, which made him feel shocked and began to question whether he could do it or not.

That was after he became popular, the lowest point in his life, and he became a fat man, so depressed that he wanted to commit suicide.

But fortunately, he met his good wife Guan Siting, who is also an actor, and accompanied him to actively treat and spend the most difficult days.

In 2016, Zhang Tong starred in "Desperate Defender Division" with a new image, playing the brave and resourceful Chen Shuxiang in the play, and won the 31st Feitian Award for Best Actor with this play, becoming the first post-80s emperor.

When he returned again, he became king.

In 2021, he and Yu Hewei, Hou Jingjian, and Ma Shaohua starred in the major revolutionary historical drama "Awakening Age", in which Zhang Tong played Li Dazhao.

For Zhang Tong, it is extremely difficult to play this role, because there is a big gap between his 183cm figure and the character prototype, but he still successfully portrayed Li Dazhao in "The Awakening Age" with his solid performance, and once again won the love and respect of the audience.

Later, according to Tian Qinxin, president of the National Theatre of China, Zhang Tong and other actors entered the National Theatre of China to work, which is also another high recognition of his performance.

Nowadays, Zhang Tong is actually constantly making new dramas, and this year he filmed the TV series "Battle Flag is Picturesque", and the three movies starring him "Power Code", "Bloody Nameless Attack" and "Mountain Pioneer" have also been released.

Seeing the reunion of the leading actors of "Bright Sword" this time, everyone is very kind and easy-going, although Zhang Tong was not recognized at first sight, but as soon as he opened his mouth, his eyes focused on the camera, and he was still the "monk" in everyone's hearts.

In fact, a good actor doesn't need any packaging, and playing a good role with heart is the passport that really enters the hearts of the audience.

18 years have passed, when will there be another good drama like "Bright Sword"?
