Preface
Do you remember the actor Zhang Shi who played Zhao Gao?
His acting skills are known as textbook-level, but he is such an excellent old actor who gradually left everyone's field of vision.
The number of Zhang Shi's works is not large, but as long as it is his work, it must be a masterpiece.
In five years, he only took on two films.
This selective approach is enough to show his respect for art and his strict selection of works.
This is not only an insistence on one's own artistic pursuit, but also a kind of responsibility to the audience.
During this time, Zhang Shi won him a nomination for the Golden Bell Award for Leading Actor with his superb acting skills in the TV series, which is a high recognition of his acting skills.
However, the 2010 TV series version of "Mythology" became a turning point in his career.
In this drama, Zhang Shi plays the minister Zhao Gao, who not only has a complex and profound role, but also a big explosion of acting skills.
His performance was beyond imagination, and he brought unexpected surprises to the audience.
However, the boundaries between art and reality are sometimes blurred.
Because Zhang Shi's role in the play is so deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, that his mother-in-law has doubts about his character, and even considers letting her daughter divorce him.
What's more serious is that Zhang Shi was framed in a well-known variety show "Kangxi is Coming", which caused his personal image to be seriously hit.
And things are getting worse and worse.
Zhang Shi's father, after hearing all kinds of negative news about his son, died of a sudden cerebral hemorrhage.
This news was a heavy blow to Zhang Shi.
He felt deeply guilty, but instead of publicly accusing those irresponsible statements, he began to reflect on his actions.
This series of events eventually led to Zhang Shi's decision to quit the entertainment industry and choose a calmer lifestyle.
He chose to live an idyllic life with his wife, away from the hustle and bustle of the city and the rights and wrongs of the entertainment industry.
Zhang Shineng made such a decision, which is enough to prove his love for his family.
But in fact, Zhang Shi was not an obedient child when he was young.
The path to becoming an actor
Zhang Shi was born in Taiwan in the 60s, and his family conditions were relatively wealthy.
His father was a respected officer.
But who would have thought that even Zhang Shi, who grew up in such an environment, had a very bumpy road.
Zhang Shi was a typical gentleman when he was young, and learning Xi was not the most important thing for him.
His daily life is to wander around with a group of friends who are also not interested in Xi.
Zhang Shi's character since childhood was both rebellious and destructive.
But Zhang Shi is a person who is particularly loyal and righteous to his friends.
When he stuck a knife in his friend's ribs, he forgot about his future.
Zhang Shi's father saw it in his eyes and was anxious.
Later, Zhang Shi's father decided to send him to Guoguang Drama Art Experimental School, hoping that he could change himself under the influence of art.
This school is not an ordinary place, it has cultivated many well-known stars, such as Wang Zuxian and Liu Genghong, who are all from this school.
There Zhang Shi met Niu Chengze, a classmate with a similar background to him.
But Niu Chengze is different from Zhang Shi in that his acting career started earlier and brighter.
Niu Chengze has been in the film industry since the age of 9, and his talent and hard work are also evident in school.
It was under such circumstances that Zhang Shi's fate was changed.
A twist of fate
Hou Hsiao-hsien was a well-known director who was working on a new film, The Man from the Wind Cabinet.
Niu Chengze invited Zhang Shi to audition together, but he didn't expect Hou Xiaoxian to take a fancy to these two people at a glance.
And this movie seems to be tailor-made for the two of them.
Zhang Shi found his shadow in the movie, and began to think about the direction of his life.
The filming of "The Man from the Wind Cabinet" was a turning point in Zhang Shi's life.
The film earned him four Golden Horse Award nominations and was the starting point for his first taste of fame as an actor.
Zhang Shi has grown from an idle gangster to an actor with pursuits.
Zhang Shi began to realize that life is not only about wandering in the streets and alleys, but also about the lights and applause on the stage.
But at the same time, Zhang Shi faced a huge challenge.
is that for Zhang Shi, who has almost no acting foundation, acting is not an easy task for him.
At this critical moment, Zhang Shi did not choose to give up easily.
Instead, he threw himself into hard work and Xi spent six full years honing his acting skills in school.
The efforts during this period also laid a solid foundation for Zhang Shi's later success.
In the 90s, Zhang Shi's acting career ushered in a qualitative leap.
He was fortunate to co-star Andy Lau in the movie "Hurricane City", which is not only a recognition of his acting skills, but also a valuable opportunity to learn Xi.
Immediately afterwards, he collaborated with his old friend Niu Chengze again to create "Banana Paradise", which won him the Golden Horse Award for Best Supporting Actor.
Director Huang Jianxin took a fancy to his potential and invited him to shoot "Wu Kui".
This movie not only rekindled Zhang Shi's acting career, but also won him the Best Actor Award, which is the highest affirmation of his acting skills.
Subsequently, Zhang Shi signed a contract with a film and television company.
This would have been a stable backing that would have provided him with more resources and opportunities.
But Zhang Shi chose a different path, he decided not to rely on film and television companies, but to continue to develop independently.
Better roads
Zhang Shiben wanted to show his strength by signing a contract with the company, but the gears of fate did not turn in the direction he expected.
The company's projects are procrastinating, which not only slows down the progress, but also shows a lack of attention to the work.
Zhang Shina's straightforward personality decided to express his dissatisfaction to the higher-ups.
This confrontation with the top is like a volcanic eruption, fierce and direct.
The company's top brass was so unhappy with the outspoken actor that they decided to terminate the collaboration and threatened to ban him.
In the face of such a counterattack, Zhang Shi showed a tenacious and confident character.
However, the reality is often harsher than expected.
In the following years, Zhang Shi's career fell into a trough.
He didn't take any more important roles, and could only struggle with small marginal roles.
During this difficult time, Zhang Shi experienced the difficult environment of the filming scene.
Once filming a rain scene, he was cold and his lips were purple.
At this time, a staff member hurriedly handed Zhang Shi a heating lamp, which was this unintentional warmth, which illuminated Zhang Shi's way to continue walking.
What's more, he regained his passion for acting.
Zhang Shi is different from other actors in that he never pursues high production, but spends all his time building characters.
Because of this, Zhang Shi only releases a new work every few years.
In 2003, Zhang Shi's performance in "Pink Girl" once again proved his acting talent.
Two years later, Zhang Shi took over CCTV's "The Emperor of the Han Dynasty".
In this historical drama, Zhang Shi plays a very important villain role.
In the play, Zhang Shi played against Chen Baoguo, Jiao Huang and other old drama bones, which was not inferior.
This drama made a deep impression on him in the hearts of the audience.
