To describe Zhang Guoqiang's life in one sentence, that is, "go low and open high".
In the first half of his life, he experienced all kinds of hardships.
First of all, he debuted for many years, and the filming of many works was tepid.
Later, because he had no money, he was rejected by his wife, and the family was torn apart.
Now he has come to a hard time.
The appearance of a woman reversed his low life.
As he said: "Marrying a good woman can prosper for three generations."
So, what did Zhang Guoqiang experience during his trough period?
01
The reason why Zhang Guoqiang will take the road of being an actor is actually inseparable from his family environment.
Zhang Guoqiang, who was born in 69, lives in a family with a very strong artistic atmosphere.
Both parents are opera actors.
My grandfather was the founder of the Ni School of Pingju.
At that time, Zhang Guoqiang had four siblings in his family.
Zhang Guoqiang ranked last.
Surrounded by love since childhood, he gradually developed a naughty and mischievous character.
Although, Zhang Guoqiang is a little worse at learning Xi.
But fortunately, he inherited his parents' artistic genes.
Since he was in elementary school, he has been very passionate about performing arts.
For this reason, he has also won many awards in municipal competitions.
watched Zhang Guoqiang be extremely talented in acting.
So in order not to waste such good genes.
His parents let Zhang Guoqiang follow him from a young age to learn Xi Pingxi.
Ear wet eye staining.
Zhang Guoqiang's acting talent began to be revealed.
and has made small achievements in commenting on dramas.
may be because Zhang Guoqiang's imitation ability is strong.
So, his father suggested that he could follow the path of an actor.
After listening to his father's advice, Zhang Guoqiang decided to apply for Heilongjiang Art School.
With his excellent professional skills, Zhang Guoqiang was successfully admitted to an art school.
As it turned out, my father's advice was right.
After coming to school, the teachers and classmates around him all thought that Zhang Guoqiang was a good seedling to be an actor.
And Zhang Guoqiang himself is also working very hard.
During my time at school, I was often praised by my teachers.
After graduating, he was assigned to the theater as an actor by the school.
Since then, he has opened his acting career.
In the theater, Zhang Guoqiang met his first wife.
Back then, Zhang Guoqiang was the key training object in the regiment.
Because of his great potential, the leaders of the regiment were willing to teach him carefully.
After two years of work, Zhang Guoqiang became an instant hit with the drama "After the Smoke Clears".
Since then, he has emerged in the drama circle.
That's when he met his wife.
Lang is affectionate, and concubines are intentional.
After the two fell in love for a while, they quickly entered the palace of marriage.
At that time, many people envied his wife for finding a handsome and talented man like Zhang Guoqiang.
This is indeed the case.
After marriage, the life of the two is happy and sweet.
Zhang Guoqiang is even more fond of his wife.
It didn't take long for the two to usher in the crystallization of love.
Since then, the small family of two people has become a happy family of three.
At that time, Zhang Guoqiang felt more and more that he was the biggest winner in his life.
After all, every day when I come home from work, I can see my wife and children who love me.
It's a pity that the good times didn't last long.
This happy life was soon shattered.
02
In the early 90s, the film and television drama industry began to rise.
This made the drama suffer an unprecedented blow overnight.
As a result, there are fewer and fewer viewers who like to watch dramas.
And there are more and more people who like to watch movies.
This greatly affected Zhang Guoqiang's economic income.
Since then, Mr. Zhang's monthly income has decreased.
The wife's attitude also began to change.
In order to support his family, Zhang Guoqiang had to work everywhere to subsidize his family.
Running around during the day as a wedding celebrant.
In the evening, I went to the dance hall to sing back.
It's a pity that Zhang Guoqiang, who is dedicated to his family, finally failed to get his wife's understanding.
No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't improve the environment at home.
In such an environment, a small actor like Zhang Guoqiang has no room to turn over.
After experiencing the beating of the social environment, Zhang Guoqiang realized.
has been staying in the Northeast for development, and there is no chance of turning over.
As long as you go out of Shandong, you may have hope of making a comeback in big cities.
For this reason, he decided to pack his bags and go to Beijing with a few good friends to develop.
Although Beijing's development prospects are good and there are many job opportunities.
But the competition and cruelty here can also make most people sink into the sand.
It's just that he has no better choice for Zhang Guoqiang's current situation.
Before leaving, he left his wife and son alone at home.
This further deteriorated their already cracked feelings.
At that time, Zhang Guoqiang knew that his wife looked down on his current self.
Before leaving, he secretly vowed in his heart that he would get ahead in the future.
Let the wife change her mind.
As the saying goes, "The ideal is beautiful, but the reality is cruel".
The road to the north is far more cruel than he imagined.
In unaccompanied Beijing, Mr. Zhang is confined to a rented house with friends.
At that time, he went to interview in different crews every day.
But what I found was basically a tricky job.
Although, this is not the job he imagined.
But in order to maintain basic expenses, he can only face reality.
To save money.
Tang Guoqiang eats white steamed buns with boiled water every day.
In addition, he lives in the basement and can't save a few dollars all year round.
In 04, Zhang Guoqiang returned home with the 3,000 yuan he had saved so hard.
I thought I could get a comfort or a hug from my wife.
didn't think about it, but what I didn't wait for was my wife's divorce.
Maybe it's because there were cracks in the relationship between the two before leaving.
In addition, the two did not see each other for a long time.
This undoubtedly became the fuse for the divorce of the two.
Looking at his wife who insisted on divorce, Zhang Guoqiang could only beg his wife not to leave.
After all, the children of the two are still young.
He didn't want his son to lose his mother because of his own problems.
But the wife has made up her mind.
No matter how many good things Zhang Guoqiang said, he couldn't reverse a heart that was about to leave.
In this way, the originally happy family of three, only Zhang Guoqiang and his son were left to rely on each other.
03
After divorcing his wife, Zhang Guoqiang reluctantly handed over his son to his grandparents to raise.
and handed over the 3,000 yuan he had saved for a year to his mother.
After explaining everything, Zhang Guoqiang returned to Beijing.
Unlike last time, Zhang Guoqiang's life will change dramatically after going back this time.
I believe that his wife, who divorced him at the beginning, learned that Zhang Guoqiang would develop so well in the future.
I will definitely regret the divorce in the first place.
With the idea of having nothing, Zhang Guoqiang put down his dignity and dignity.
Mix with ensembles all day long.
As long as there is a play, no matter how big or small the role is, he is willing to act.
With this dedication to acting, Zhang Guoqiang soon ushered in an opportunity.
A few months after arriving in Beijing, his efforts were finally seen.
In 05, Zhang Guoqiang got the opportunity to star in the TV series "Unprecedented".
With his superb acting skills, he has won the recognition of the audience.
At the same time, I met my friend Wu Liansheng in this play.
Perhaps many people are not very familiar with the name Wu Liansheng.
But he has a wide network of contacts in Beijing.
At that time, after Wu Liansheng and Zhang Guoqiang got acquainted.
Wu Liansheng was admired by the other party's professionalism and hard work.
At the same time, I also sympathize with Zhang Guoqiang's misfortune and hardships along the way.
So the two formed a deep friendship.
and helped Zhang Guoqiang get the opportunity to star in "Chang Longji".
Although, the response to this movie after its release was average.
But for Zhang Guoqiang, the significance is extraordinary.
Thanks to my friend Wu Liansheng's blessing.
Through this play, many well-known directors in the circle know Zhang Guoqiang's name.
For example, the well-known director Kang Honglei.
At that time, Kang Dao was preparing candidates for "Soldier Assault".
By chance, he saw Zhang Guoqiang's superb acting skills.
And was impressed by his outstanding acting ability.
After a year, Zhang Guoqiang was invited to star in "Soldier Assault".
After the TV series was released, Zhang Guoqiang's popularity instantly opened.
A rising tide lifts all boats.
As his fame grew, so did his income.
In just one year, he has changed from a poor boy to a popular actor.
Maybe it's fate.
When Zhang Guoqiang's career was on the rise, his son became his biggest knot.
Because his son Zhang Yu left his father since he was a child.
I didn't see my father at all of the year.
Over time, Zhang Yu has a grudge against his father Zhang Guoqiang.
So much so that when Zhang Guoqiang went home to visit his son, he always had a hot face and a cold butt.
He was treated indifferently by his son.
He didn't even call out "Daddy".
On the surface, the two are father and son.
In fact, it's no different from a stranger.
Therefore, whenever Zhang Guoqiang is adrift to work in other places.
The thought of his son's reluctance to recognize him as a father made him upset.
Fortunately, a woman understands his hard work and difficulty.
And this person is Luo Haiqiong.
In her eyes, Zhang Guoqiang is a very good man.
It would be a pity if no one wanted such a man.
So, she introduced her friend Wang Xiaonan to Zhang Guoqiang.
Like Zhang Guoqiang, Wang Xiaonan is also an actor.
is beautiful and outstanding, and is called "Maggie Cheung of the North" by the audience.
Since Zhang Guoqiang got acquainted with Wang Xiaonan, his life seems to have been smooth sailing.
Even his relationship with his son, Zhang Yu, has improved.
At first, Zhang Guoqiang still had a little inferiority complex in the face of Wang Xiaonan.
After all, Wang Xiaonan is seven years younger than herself, and she is still a good girl like a flower.
And although he has achieved a little success in his career.
But after a marital setback, he also has a son.
Therefore, Zhang Guoqiang always felt that he was not worthy of Wang Xiaonan on his own terms.
But Wang Xiaonan doesn't mind Zhang Guoqiang's past.
From the first time she saw Zhang Guoqiang, she thought that the other party was a reliable and honest man.
And it's worth entrusting for a lifetime.
After learning about Zhang Guoqiang's family situation, Wang Xiaonan decided to repair the relationship between him and his son.
So, after the two got married, Wang Xiaonan poured most of his energy into his family.
Because she knew that the main reason for the discord between their father and son was that they got together less and left more.
Therefore, when Zhang Guoqiang was busy with work, Wang Xiaonan stayed by his stepson's side intimately.
Give him the care and attention he lacks.
In this way, under Wang Xiaonan's careful care, the relationship between father and son has been eased.
Zhang Guoqiang's life is certainly not easy.
But it is a blessing in misfortune to meet a good woman like Wang Xiaonan in the rest of his life.
That year, after the two got married, they gave birth to a daughter.
Looking at the life of both children and daughters, Zhang Guoqiang hugged his wife tightly and said to her: "It is my luck to meet you."
epilogue
Today's Zhang Guoqiang has gradually faded out of the big screen.
Because after experiencing setbacks, he knows how to cherish his feelings and maintain his family.
For the rest of his life, the most important thing for him is to have a wife and children by his side.
After all the hardships, I hope that he can be happy for the rest of his life.
