In 1978, when the spring flowers were blooming, the college entrance examination was finally resumed after eight years, which was undoubtedly a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for that generation. Seventeen-year-old Zhang Tielin, like most candidates, has high hopes for the college entrance examination and wants to change his destiny by working hard.
Zhang Tielin was born in a small mountain village in Hebei Province, to manual laborers. There are three brothers and sisters in the family, and they are living in poverty. But Zhang Tielin has a tenacious personality and has dreamed of being a movie actor since he was a child.
Every time he looks at the heroes and heroines in gorgeous costumes on the screen, he is full of longing and yearning.
Early in the morning of the college entrance examination, Zhang Tielin got up early in the morning. He carefully groomed, dressed, and came to the examination room with confidence. After entering the examination room, he was very attentive and religious.
At the end of the exam, Zhang Tielin handed in the answer sheet with apprehension and anticipation. More than a month later, the admission notice was delivered to his hand, and Zhang Tielin was so excited that he couldn't express it.
During his time at Nortel, Zhang Tielin studied hard and Xi and participated in some Xi live performances. Despite his limited resources, he has always maintained a strong Xi enthusiasm and enterprising spirit.
Four years passed quickly, and Zhang Tielin graduated successfully. When he got the graduation certificate issued by the North Cinema, Zhang Tielin seemed to see that his dream was in front of him.
During his time at the Beijing Film Academy, Zhang Tielin was favored and admired by many female students with his handsome appearance and superb acting skills. However, his heart is not so pure, but uses them for utilitarian purposes.
Shen Danping is a leader in Nortel, with superb acting skills, and has become famous when shooting lilies. Zhang Tielin stalked her and talked about his ambitions and dreams.
Shen Danping believed it, and the two soon fell in love. Zhang Tielin was like a falcon that smelled blood, and immediately circled around Shen Danping. Shen Danping's connections and resources have boosted his career.
However, the good times did not last long, and one day Shen Danping saw Zhang Tielin making out with other actresses in the crew. Only then did she wake up like a dream and understand that she was a stepping stone for Zhang Tielin to climb up.
So Shen Danping resolutely broke up with him and turned to leave. Zhang Tielin didn't care, and soon found the next target.
After that, it was Gong Xue again, and Deng Xing again...... Zhang Tielin used them to pave the way for himself. And they regard him as a bosom friend, but they don't know that this is a unilateral dedication without sincerity.
They contributed money to Zhang Tielin's career, but Zhang Tielin never reciprocated them with even a sincere smile.
After graduating from Beijing Film, Zhang Tielin's career did not improve much. Finally, the opportunity came, and he received state funding to study at the Royal Film Academy. The years in the UK were the fastest growth stage in Zhang Tielin's career.
He actively learns Xi the advanced filmmaking processes and techniques of the West, and has established contacts with some of the industry's top directors. During his Xi at the BBC, Zhang Tielin mastered a wealth of post-production experience.
He also actively pursued opportunities to enter Hollywood and participate in film production. For example, he served as an assistant director in the classic blockbuster "Raiders of the Lost Ark 2", which won Zhang Tielin international fame.
With his outstanding performance in the British and American film circles, Zhang Tielin soon became an eye-catching and enviable new star. Many Chinese actors who are struggling in the West are not as smooth as him.
However, the careerist Zhang Tielin is not satisfied with the status quo. In 2002, he noticed the explosive growth of the Chinese film market, so he decisively decided to return to China to make a profit.
In 2002, during the development of the United Kingdom, Zhang Tielin fell in love with a girl Zi Xiaomin, who was a few years younger than him, and soon Zi Xiaomin became pregnant.
At first, Zhang Tielin was happy to accept this accident. However, when this child was really born, Zhang Tielin's true face was unabashedly exposed - he didn't want this child at all, just to get the last benefit from Zi Xiaomin.
So the shameless Zhang Tielin repeated his old trick and wanted to abandon Zi Xiaomin's mother and son. But Zi Xiaomin resolutely refused, and Zhang Tielin was so angry that he sent bodyguards to kidnap her.
He wants to seize custody of this child by coercive means and monopolize it for himself. However, the kidnapping incident was soon exposed, and public opinion was in an uproar. Only then did people see Zhang Tielin's true face, it turned out that he was such a selfish and cold-blooded and inhumane.
His reputation has hit rock bottom, and countless people are denouncing him for not being human. It was undoubtedly the darkest moment of his life.
After the kidnapping, Zhang Tielin had to return to China from England in disgrace. At first, he was worried that he would hit a wall at home. However, what surprised him was that after playing the role of Emperor Qianlong in the drama "Huanzhu Gege", Zhang Tielin became popular in China.
The hit of "Huanzhu Gege" made Zhang Tielin become a popular fried chicken again. He soon played the emperor again in historical dramas such as "Ji Xiaolan with Iron Teeth and Bronze Teeth", which became his iconic figure in China.
For a time, the title of "Emperor Professional Household" was also cast on Zhang Tielin.
The huge success of his career filled Zhang Tielin's damaged reputation and self-esteem. After falling into a trough, he regained his pride in being a first-class red star. So Zhang Tielin's self-confidence swelled again, and he could no longer hide that there was no one in his heart.
It's like a fast-food success, and it's destined to be unlasting. As an actor, Zhang Tielin's acting skills and popularity are indeed first-class, which is undeniable. However, the long-term opportunistic life has also gradually lost the precious quality of his core.
First of all, when asked about the reason for becoming a British citizen, Zhang Tielin justifiably said that it was purely to "better serve China". This kind of bull's head did not respond to the horse's mouth, so that Wang Gang who was present couldn't help but sarcastically mock him.
Secondly, in his WeChat live broadcast room, Zhang Tielin asked for a price of 1,000 yuan, which caused netizens to bombard him indiscriminately. They denounced Zhang Tielin for obviously taking the opportunity to make money, and it had reached the point of being shameless.
Then, in an interview with the media, Zhang Tielin repeatedly emphasized that his usual appearance on camera is 100,000 yuan. This wild remark is not only ridiculous, but also makes many viewers lose their last trace of good impression of him.
All kinds of self-righteous and unseen performances undoubtedly accelerated the fading of Zhang Tielin's reputation. In his later years, he not only lost his career, but also became a street rat that everyone shouted and beaten.
This can be said to be the saddest way of Zhang Tielin's life.
