Zhang Wanyi's first impressive role,
It is none other than "Chen Yannian" in "The Awakening Age".
The appearance is too amazing.
His opening favorability is basically stacked.
As a staunch supporter of communism, Chen Yannian's vision of death as if he were at home was shocking.
When Zhang Wanyi played him, the last look was with a smile and hope.
This scene is also known as "a beautiful look back"!
Netizens jokingly called this role like Zhang Wanyi's "gold medal for avoiding death".
As long as he doesn't collapse the house, this role can keep him basically glorious.
1. Heavenly Choice "Chen Yannian"
Since Zhang Wanyi's start in Chen Yan, the works broadcast are basically effective dramas.
"The Awakening Age", "Children of the Qiao Family", "Sauvignon Blanc", "The Glory of the Fathers", ......
It has only been 7 years since his debut, and he has reached heights that many young actors cannot reach.
It's all about opportunity.
But more than that, it is an affirmation of Zhang Wanyi's acting skills!
Zhang Wanyi's works out of the circle, after interpretation, it is not difficult to find that the characters are very emotional.
Revolutionary martyr, defender of moral love, conceited pilot, forbearance king......
Each character is a separate personality.
What doesn't change is the ability to touch the emotions of the audience.
What is the most positive thing about the actor?
Naturally, it is to make the audience empathize.
Zhang Wanyi did just that.
When she received the role of "Chen Yannian", Zhang Wanyi was 24 years old and had just graduated from college not long ago.
There is still a green in him that has not faded.
It just fits the 19-year-old Chen Yannian.
When Chen Yannian died, he was only 29 years old.
and Zhang Wanyi's actual age is still about the same.
In a sense, Zhang Wanyi grew up with Chen Yannian.
When she got this role, Zhang Wanyi didn't even know who Chen Yannian was?
In order to get close to this character, he began to check the information non-stop.
However, Chen Yannian in the book is just cold words.
Empathy is always just talk, unless you actually go through the same situation.
Zhang Wanyi can understand Chen Yannian's exploits through words.
But he can't really become Chen Yannian.
However, the crew's pursuit of authenticity provided him with alternative help.
He really carried more than 100 pounds of sacks.
The bent back and trembling legs all restore the difficulties of the people of that era.
When he calmly died, he wore more than 20 pounds of shackles barefoot.
His ragged clothes and face covered with torture marks were in stark contrast to his erect spirit!
The successful interpretation of Chen Yannian is also a baptism for Zhang Wanyi.
The substitutional performance has left traces on his spirit.
It's a quiet, positive change.
This role can be said to have benefited Zhang Wanyi a lot.
Even the sense of stability in him is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
2. Reverse the charm
There is a very vivid evaluation of Zhang Wanyi's appearance.
said that he looks very "CCTV".
In other words, he looks very thoughtful, and at first glance he is a drama actor.
However, after the real archaeology of Zhang Wanyi, you will find that he has a reversal charm.
Zhang Wanyi's first performance was the online drama "The Best Model King".
He "stretched his limbs" in front of the camera in a serious way, posing in all kinds of strange shapes.
In the same frame, he is in stark contrast to the handsome Ren Yankai and Lee Jae-hyun.
The character played by Zhang Wanyi is called Wang Fugui.
The name is immediately down-to-earth.
Sure enough, he is a "second generation of the village".
In the whole play, Zhang Wanyi contracted almost all the laughs.
A hairstyle that is infinitely closer to the "lazy sheep".
The plot is also full of foreign appearances.
He perfectly illustrates what it means to be "seriously funny".
Zhang Wanyi in this period and later him were simply like two people.
Fortunately, he soon returned to the road of drama.
Otherwise, his "black history" is only afraid that there will be another paragraph.
After "The Best Model King", Zhang Wanyi successively took over three TV series works.
It's all about the main theme.
In "Lin Hai Snow Field", he is the warrior Gao Bo.
In "Moscow Action", he is the policeman Kong Jie.
In "Communist Liu Shaoqi", he is the young Liu Shaoqi.
There are not many scenes, and every appearance is impressive!
After these three works, Zhang Wanyi received "The Awakening Age".
There are so many powerful actors and such an excellent crew.
Zhang Wanyi can be in it to complete a tribute drama, which can be said to be of great significance!
"The Age of Awakening" was filmed early and broadcast late.
"The Wind Rises" also aired before it.
During the broadcast of the drama, the Weibo of the male and female protagonists was very lively.
Coupled with the outrageous plot, the starring acting skills collapsed.
Many people didn't care that Zhang Wanyi still had a role in it.
"The Age of Awakening" directly improved Zhang Wanyi's texture.
So much so that when he looked back at his former roles, he unconsciously brought a little filter.
Regardless of the character itself, the audience can always make up for him elsewhere!
"Qiao Erqiang" in "Children of the Qiao Family" is Zhang Wanyi's second main role.
This character is quite axial.
Compared to the other siblings in the play, a lot of sparkle is missing.
The eldest brother played by Bai Yu is forbearant and resolute, rushing ahead of everything.
The eldest sister played by Mao Xiaotong is ordinary but independent.
As for the little sister played by Song Zuer, she is a full love brain.
Everyone has plot conflict points.
Only Qiao Erqiang, played by Zhang Wanyi, had a mediocre performance in the early stage.
It wasn't until after his divorce that he wanted to be with his master that he had more to look forward to.
According to the emotional outlook at that time, Qiao Erqiang's behavior was really contrary to common sense.
The age difference, the difference in status, and the spittle stars of outsiders can drown two people.
Zhang Wanyi and Zhu Zhu, who played his master, lacked a sense of matching in appearance.
However, the warm interaction between the two fills in this gap.
This work added another fire to Zhang Wanyi.
With the success of two works in a row, he has become a young representative of the actors in the main drama.
When it comes to those powerful and good-looking students, Zhang Wanyi's name appears more and more frequently.
After gaining a reputation in film and television dramas, Zhang Wanyi's interviews also increased.
Every time he talks about a character, he is insightful and original.
But as soon as he switched to the role, he had a lot more "clear stupidity".
A mouth, he is still the same stupid him as before.
3. Slightly insufficient emotional drama
Among the few main roles of Zhang Wanyi, feelings have never been the main output.
Until "Sauvignon Blanc" with Yang Zi and others was launched.
The configuration of one woman and four men is full of the ancient meaning of "everyone falls in love with me".
In the showbiz full of idol romance dramas, how to compose a new chapter of the clichéd story?
This is no small challenge for both the actors and the director.
There is "Canglan Jue" in the front, and "Long Moon Embers" in the back, how does "Sauvignon Blanc" stand out?
Fortunately, both Yang Zi and Zhang Wanyi handed over a satisfactory answer.
Although the plot can't escape love, it's not limited to it.
The growth of the characters makes the plot more interesting.
Zhang Wanyi's first costume male lead drama will play a ninja like "Xuanxuan".
In the treatment of power schemes, he has to lie down and taste courage.
When it comes to feelings, he has to press his heart.
In any way, the character is a bit of a wretch.
The role of Xuanxuan is actually very "both and want".
The overall is not a very likable character.
However, "Sauvignon Blanc" only finished the first half.
The real dramatic conflict points are in the plot that has not yet aired.
Wait until the second half of the broadcast is over, I'm afraid that Zhang Wanyi will have a lot of "scolding" by then!
is also an emotional drama, Xuanxuan's pursuit of power is better than love.
And "Zhao Jin" in "I Know I Love You" is the real love first.
However, this work also exposed some of Zhang Wanyi's shortcomings.
Good actors make each other better.
Yang Zi can make Zhang Wanyi join the play.
Sun Yi was a little bit off.
In fact, Sun Yi's acting skills are very good among his peers.
But partner Zhang Wanyi is always a little awkward.
This has to mention the mysterious and mysterious sense of CP.
Yang Zi is 2 years old.
Sun Yi is only 1 year older than him.
But when they are in the same frame as Zhang Wanyi, the two are more like two generations.
Compared with Zhang Wanyi, Yuan Wenkang is more suitable for Sun Yi in every aspect.
This work is a remake of South Korea's "Spring Night".
In terms of emotional dramas, South Korea's grasp of atmosphere is almost unmatched.
It can be said that "Spring Night" is a jewel in front.
In contrast, "I Know I Love You" still owes a little fire.
Zhang Wanyi is a little wooden in this drama.
It feels like he wants to work hard to show his love for Sun Yi.
It's a pity that I tried too hard, but the acting skills are there, but the true feelings are missing.
Before this drama, Zhang Wanyi also had a remake on the air.
That's "The Extraordinary Healer".
This work was first broadcast in South Korea and is called "Good Doctor".
Subsequently, the United States and Japan have remade successively, and the domestic version is the last version so far.
The male protagonist of the work is an autistic genius who completely lights up his innate skills in medicine.
Zhang Wanyi's performance in it is not bad.
That stupid and bizarre hook up with him.
Some netizens ridiculed:
Don't let Zhang Wanyi play a fool, it's too much like the real thing!
But the impact of this work on Zhang Wanyi is not small.
I don't know if it's because of too much stamina.
In "I Know I Love You", Zhang Wanyi still has the shadow of this character.
There were several scenes when he played against Sun Yi, and he blinked a frequency slower.
always feels that he is outside the role, and the two are not acting in the same scene!
"I Know I Love You" hasn't finished yet.
Zhang Wanyi still needs to make further breakthroughs in emotional dramas.
Hopefully, he will be able to overcome this shortcoming.
After all, he still has a few emotional dramas to be broadcast, ready to go!
epilogue
For Zhang Wanyi, his career has just begun.
He's so malleable.
There must be a long way to go!
