At that time, "Director Fan" said "Fan Zhiyi is my idol", and the crew officially "played a stalk", and sure enough, the effect flew. In the crew, Fan Zhiyi also has a lot of "true fan brothers", such as Hu Ge, the star of this play, said: "What is it like to be able to return to his era with my idol." The accompanying picture includes the No. 5 jersey of the Shanghai Shenhua team signed by Fan Zhiyi, which he treasured.
This role can be said to be tailor-made for Fan Zhiyi. He is both serious and angry, but he also has a sense of humor.
Talking about his fate with this character, Fan Zhiyi said: "I didn't accept it in my heart at that time. At that time, my wife said to me, you try it, director Wong Kar-wai is a tripod (the best) in this circle, so it is not good for such a 'big-name' director to invite you to act, and it is not good to refuse others. ”
"What I did well, I'm definitely going to give it my all. (Acting) is not my platform, but when it comes to Shanghai, I am quite entangled myself. When he approached me, I turned it down a few times. But Director Wang has always been very sincere and patient, and he said that this role is none other than you, so I wanted to try it, but I didn't expect it to be such an effect. Fan Zhiyi said.
really acted, Fan Zhiyi was very dedicated. He posted a video of himself on the set on his social media, in which he recited his lines over and over again, but reshot them several times. Talking about his feelings about filming "Flowers", he said bluntly: "I am very proud! I hope that the young people of Shanghai will see more of the efforts made by their predecessors for the city." ”
Fan Zhiyi himself is one of the iconic figures of the city of Shanghai. Born on November 6, 1969 in Yangpu District, Shanghai, he plays as a defender, but he can play all positions except goalkeeper. Fan Zhiyi was voted Chinese Footballer of the Year twice in 1995 and 1996, and in 1995, he even became the top scorer in the A-League with 15 goals and helped Shenhua win the championship. In 1998, he and Sun Jihai moved to League One side Crystal Palace, where he was named Player of the Year in his first year and wore the captain's armband, and is still regarded as one of the most successful foreign players in the club's history.
In 2001, he helped the national football team win the World Cup in South Korea and Japan two rounds in advance, and he was also elected Asian Footballer of the Year. It is no exaggeration to say that Fan Zhiyi's career is the golden age of the history of the national football team.
has repeatedly crossed borders, and his "audience popularity" is surprisingly good
Fan Zhiyi is tall and big, and has the iconic perennial shrug action, which is quite "fierce". However, both on and off the pitch, his audience is surprisingly good.
On the field, he is a very righteous "big brother", when he thinks that his teammates are wronged in the face of opponents or referees, he will not be able to hold back his temper and step forward to "uphold justice". For this reason, he did not eat less red and yellow cards, but the image of "valuing love and righteousness" is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
Fan Zhiyi's personality is straightforward, never beating around the bush, and he often speaks in a wordless and merciless. He had previously bluntly said in an interview after the game that the national football team "will lose to Thailand next, Thailand will lose to Vietnam, and then don't want to go down to the face", this passage later became a "divine prophecy", completely predicting the trend of the national football team's results, and the screenshot of his interview has also become one of the famous "stalks" on social networks. Interestingly, on the same day as the hot search on "Fan Zhiyi Flowers", the national football team was reversed by the Hong Kong, China team in a warm-up match, and also received three red cards in a row.
In recent years, Fan Zhiyi has repeatedly "crossed over", whether it is in talk shows or variety shows, he has performed well.
In a talk show in 2021, he complained about the Chinese men's basketball team, and there were "stalks" every few seconds. Because of the "excessive firepower", the discussion of the show was too high, which made the party who was complained about feel pressure. And the content of men's basketball coach Yang Ming and player Zhou Qi who were originally arranged in the next episode of the program to complain about the national football team was also not broadcast for various reasons.
Although Fan Zhiyi's episode of the show, his text was more or less from the screenwriter's creativity and polishing, but his on-the-spot performance was free, and every sentence said a sense of realism from the heart and lungs, which also had a strong appeal. After that episode aired, the talk show's rating even rose by 0.1 points overnight, which shows the audience's love for him.
Fan Zhiyi is full of affinity in variety shows
Fan Zhiyi in the show
Fan Zhiyi also participated in many variety shows, especially in the travel reality show "Wuha Season 3", Fan Zhiyi gave full play to his personal characteristics - both truthful and upright, sometimes surprisingly happy, and at the same time self-deprecating, he didn't mind pretending to be ugly, showing an approachable side. These seemingly contradictory sides have reached a harmonious unity in Fan Zhiyi, forming a subtle and unique sense of joy.
Fan Zhiyi is not only upright, but also sober and wise in the world. In "Wuha Season 3", Fan Zhiyi's daughter called him to cry about his relationship problems, Fan Zhiyi calmly gave analysis and solutions, showing high emotional intelligence, even Deng Chao was greatly impressed.
In life, Fan Zhiyi is also a sincere person. When he was recognized on the street, when the other party respectfully called him "Teacher Fan" and "General Fan", he would always be busy correcting "Xiao Fan, Xiao Fan", or "Agu (Brother), Agu!"
"Sincerity is the best nirvana", Fan Zhiyi has a good audience reputation whether it is a court career or a studio career, thanks to the word "sincerity".
They also went from "CCTV5" to "CCTV8"
Although Fan Zhiyi's "audience popularity" is good, after all, he has just been "electrocuted" and his qualifications are still shallow.
From the stadium to the set of TV dramas and movies, from "CCTV5" to "CCTV8", before Fan Zhiyi "electrocuted" "Flowers", there were many well-known players who completed the crossover.
Zhao Jialin, who played Long Keduo in "Step by Step", was once an excellent professional player, he was not only a former international player, but also the main player of the Bayi team and the Changchun Yatai team. After retiring, he has starred in dozens of film and television dramas, mostly villains.
Former national football goalkeeper Fu Yubin, because he is tall and handsome, is also favored by the film and television industry after retiring, and has played cameo roles in many Chinese New Year films, including Feng Xiaogang's work "Mobile Phone". In 1998, he also appeared on the Spring Festival Gala and sang "True Hero" with Deng Yaping and Wang Tao.
In international football, two of the most famous are Winnie Jones and Eric Cantona.
Jones is a well-known "villain" in English football, fearsome on the pitch, receiving a full 12 red cards in his career, and once set a world record for being sent off in the opening three seconds. After retiring, his "ruthlessness" found a place to play a villain in the movie. In Guy Ritchie's classic crime comedy "Two Smoking Guns", the image of him holding a cigarette and carrying two long guns on his shoulders is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and a monologue has become a classic in film history. Since then, his acting career has been unstoppable, and he has acted in dozens of movies so far, including blockbusters with all-star casts such as "X-Men 3", "Golden Cicada Shell", and "Gentlemen".
Eric Cantona, known as the "King of Manchester United", made his screen debut three years later after bidding farewell to a brilliant career at the age of 31. It's no surprise that the Frenchman, who was able to say in his playing career that "seagulls chase fishing boats because they know sardines will be thrown into the sea", has starred in more than a dozen art films. Among them, the biopic "Looking for Eric" with the famous British director Ken Lodge, who is both the protagonist and the producer, was shortlisted for the main competition unit of the Cannes Film Festival. And in "Fat Officer Guy", he also gained dozens of kilograms for the needs of the role.
