In 2009, 26-year-old Zhang Han finally ushered in the most important opportunity in his life - because he starred in the urban romantic drama "Let's Watch Meteor Shower", he transformed from an unknown student to a hot popular idol overnight.
The TV series achieved a sensational effect as soon as it was broadcast, and the actor Lin Zhanpeng played by Zhang Han was deeply loved by the audience. At that time, Zhang Han was still young and vigorous, full of enthusiasm and dreams for his acting career.
This role undoubtedly opened the highlight moment of his acting career.
However, 10 years have passed, and Zhang Han's masterpiece is still stuck in the urban drama in 1093. Yu Haoming, Wei Chen, and Zhu Zixiao, who starred in "F4" with him, have all successfully transformed, and their acting skills are becoming more and more sophisticated, occupying a place in the film and television industry.
Only Zhang Han stood still, and he has not gone to the next level over the years. The popularity brought by a masterpiece is undoubtedly a sharp sword, which has benefited Zhang Han a lot, but it also limits his space for further development.
Zhang Han began to reflect that it is not enough to rely on just one work, and must strive to find a breakthrough. He longs for more opportunities to show off his acting skills instead of being defined by a successful role.
As a result, Zhang Han began to actively look for breakthroughs and take on different styles of film and television works, hoping that this could become a ladder for his further growth. The excitement and ecstasy at the beginning have faded, and Zhang Han's heart is extremely clear at this moment, the road to acting is a long way to go, and he still needs to make persistent efforts to go further.
Zhang Han has had a bumpy road on the road of acting, and he has also experienced ups and downs on the road of emotion. He has talked about two relationships publicly, but both ended in breakups, which has had a great impact on Zhang Han's life and psychology.
In 2011, Zhang Han and actress Crazy confirmed their relationship, and the two frequently became entertainment hotspots. Crazy Hair Shuang's personality is very different from the introverted and stable Zhang Han's personality, but the freshness of the moment contributed to this relationship.
However, the good times did not last long, and the two finally broke up after a crazy love. This had a particularly heavy impact on Zhang Han, and after the breakup, he was directly labeled as a "scumbag" and endured great pressure from public opinion.
In 2015, Zhang Han encountered love again in the costume drama with Guli Nazha. The two fell in love because of the drama and soon made their relationship public. It's just that this time, Zhang Han doesn't seem to have learned the lessons of the past, and this relationship has also been questioned by many outsiders.
Guli Nazha directly became the target of cyberbullying and endured huge mental pressure. After experiencing two relationships that have been concerned by the public, Zhang Han understands that love is a hurdle for him.
He began to reflect on the need to be more cautious in his relationship, and longed to find a girl who really treated him and started a family of his own.
Love brings Zhang Han not only sweetness, but also pain and melancholy. Behind the glamour of the two relationships, Zhang Han's inner fragility and uneasiness are hidden. Perhaps it was these pains that made him more mature on the emotional road and more eager for true love.
When his career is in full swing, Zhang Han will definitely find his other half and form a happy family.
Zhang Han understands that it is difficult to stand in the entertainment industry for a long time with only one masterpiece. In order to achieve a breakthrough for himself, he began to actively experiment with different roles and work styles.
In 2014, Zhang Han challenged the first CEO actor in the modern urban drama "Shanshan is Coming". This role reversal has received a good response, and the classic dialogue of "contracting the whole fish pond for you" in the play has been sung for a while.
For Zhang Han, this is undoubtedly a rare opportunity for transformation. Through a different role than before, he hopes that the audience can see more diverse acting skills.
Indeed, this change has allowed the public to see Zhang Han's new look. It's just that the good times didn't last long, and with the end of this drama, Zhang Han returned to a low state.
The transformation is a long obstacle for him, and temporary success cannot make Zhang Han complacent.
In recent years, Zhang Han has continued to crawl on the road of transformation. He began to frequently appear in various variety shows, transforming from a mysterious film and television actor to a new face of variety shows that the public likes.
Zhang Han let go of his previous serious and stable personal image, showing a down-to-earth humorous side. The audience also gradually saw that he had always been framed as a "domineering president", but his heart was actually very simple and direct.
The road to transformation is far from easy, and Zhang Han's efforts have been repeatedly frustrated. He has a straightforward personality, is not good at dealing with interpersonal relationships, and often has estrangement from other guests in variety shows.
However, Zhang Han did not give up. He will continue to trial and error to find the direction that works best for him. Until one day, the public's first association with the name "Zhang Han" will no longer be the character of more than ten years ago.
In the latest episode of the outdoor survival variety show "Makino Family", Zhang Han showed a different side from the past. This episode requires participants to complete tasks in exchange for supplies needed for life.
However, this mechanism touched Zhang Han's bottom line.
Zhang Han is a straightforward and sincere person, and he hates pretentious and deliberately flattering behavior. In his view, completing so-called "tasks" in exchange for food and household items is like begging and currying favor, which is contrary to his usual personality.
So, Zhang Han resolutely chose to violate the rules of the game and went to a nearby town to solve a meal by himself.
This behavior sparked heated discussions among netizens. Some people think that Zhang Han is too dramatic, and he should abide by the rules of the game when he participates in the show. But there are also people who understand Zhang Han's approach, thinking that he insists on himself and is unwilling to distort his original intention.
Indeed, for such a straightforward character as Zhang Han, violations are not hesitated, because it is related to his principles.
The 38-year-old Zhang Han is no longer the young man who just wanted to be recognized. Now he looks down on fame, fortune and success or failure, and cares more about his inner needs.
Zhang Han chose not to deliberately cater to the audience's tastes and not to make sacrifices for popularity. He hopes to continue to persevere on the road of acting in the truest state.
This may make him lose some of the audience's support, but it will allow him to find himself in his artistic creation. For Zhang Han, inner peace is far more valuable than external success.
This is also his new perception of life at the age of 38.
After ten years of ups and downs, Zhang Han's acting career is obviously not smooth sailing. However, after experiencing the first popularity, emotional frustration, and transformation dilemma, the 38-year-old seems to have found his own state of life - constantly reflecting and adjusting, but still insisting on himself and doing his own way.
At first, the success of the TV series "Let's Watch the Meteor Shower" made Zhang Han popular overnight, and he was immersed in fame, fortune and praise. But the long-term stagnation of his acting career also made Zhang Han realize the reality that it is not enough to rely on one work.
So he began to try different roles, hoping to open up the limits of popularity. The reality is that even if he successfully challenged the role of CEO in "Shanshan is Coming", Zhang Han failed to firmly grasp the opportunity of transformation, and his career did not usher in a qualitative leap.
The difficulty of the road to transformation made Zhang Han realize that it is difficult to achieve a breakthrough by relying only on film and television dramas.
So, Zhang Han pinned his new hopes on variety shows. By showing his true self, Zhang Han hopes that the audience will re-examine him as an artist. This did open a new window, and the audience also saw Zhang Han's humorous and witty side.
But directly coexisting with artists who have never met before puts forward higher requirements for Zhang Han's interpersonal skills. His straightforward personality and weak adaptability have made Zhang Han repeatedly frustrated in variety shows.
However, the 38-year-old no longer cares about other people's opinions as much as he used to, and he just wants to be happy.
The ups and downs of his love life also made Zhang Han physically and mentally exhausted. After ending two relationships, Zhang Han gradually recognized the illusory nature of love in the entertainment industry. Experiencing emotional highs and lows, he began to learn how to plan his life and give himself time and space.
Zhang Han understands that feelings are not desperate to get, and when he is really ready, the destined other half will definitely come.
The situation is changing, but Zhang Han always has a love for art in his heart. He is learning Xi how to find his place in this glamorous and utilitarian circle.
Maybe Zhang Han is not completely sure of the future direction, but after experiencing these ups and downs, he has already downplayed the gains and losses of success or failure, and enjoys the identity of an actor even more. With Zhang Han's enthusiasm for acting, he will definitely create more new possibilities on the road of acting.
