Zheng Hao
In March 2021, the 39-episode revolutionary historical TV series "The Age of Awakening" was broadcast in a prime-time set of CCTV. In addition to Yu Hewei, Zhang Tong and other starring actors have become the focus of media and audience attention, the supporting actor Zheng Hao has also gained super popularity.
Unlike the much-anticipated "Mou Girl", "Mou Boy" Zheng Hao failed to become popular. After filming Zhang Yimou's "My Father and Mother", what has Zheng Hao been doing all these years? What is his unknown life trajectory?
01
In "The Age of Awakening", Zheng Hao played the early leader of our party, "Dong Biwu". Although Zheng Hao's role is not very much, he uses a rich and layered performance to shape the role into flesh and blood, which is unforgettable.
Young Zheng Hao
Born in 1976 in Siping, Jilin Province, Zheng Hao studied dance since childhood and worked as a physical teacher at the Central Academy of Drama. In 1994, the school launched China's first war-themed musical, War and Man, in which Zheng Hao served as a leading dancer, coach and choreographer.
Because there is no excellent academic qualification, Zheng Hao's development space is limited. In 1995, he was admitted to the Drama Performance Department of the People's Liberation Army Academy of Arts.
It should be said that Zheng Hao is lucky. In 1998, Zhang Yimou planned to shoot his 10th film "My Father and Mother", and selected male protagonists at major art schools in Beijing, but he has not found a satisfactory candidate.
By chance, Zhang Yimou watched the musical "War and Man" and was touched by Zheng Hao's thick and simple temperament. Zheng Hao's appearance is not foreign, his temperament is tough, and he looks a bit rustic, which is consistent with the image and temperament of "Teacher Luo" in the film.
Zheng Hao and Zhang Ziyi
When Zhang Yimou and the assistant director found Zheng Hao, he had a feeling of pie falling from the sky. You know, at this time, Zheng Hao is a junior student in military art, and many handsome actors from the class have not been filmed.
This summer, Zheng Hao was arranged by Zhang Yimou to go to Donggou Village in Bashang, Hebei Province, with Zhang Ziyi to experience life. Zheng Hao learned to do farm work, visited the teachers of the local rural primary school, communicated with them, and got close to the role psychologically to the greatest extent.
In the autumn of this year, "My Father and Mother" began filming in Hebei, and the scene between the female number one Zhang Ziyi and the supporting actor Sun Honglei was often denied by Zhang Yimou and remade one after another. And Zheng Hao's plays, most of them are one-sided.
During the filming, Zhang Ziyi often cried her nose, and Zheng Hao did not comfort her. And during the filming process, Zheng Hao also witnessed Zhang Yimou's dedication.

Zhang Yimou suffers from a serious stomach disease and often suffers from pain in cold sweat. When he couldn't hold it up, he pressed the camera's rocker against his stomach.

During the shooting break, Zhang Yimou went to Beijing to participate in an event, and Zheng Hao and other main creative staff also went to Beijing to celebrate. On the night of the end of the event, Zhang Yimou learned from the weather forecast that there would be heavy snow the next day, which would affect the shooting progress.
So he rented a car and rushed back to Hebei with the main creative staff overnight. It snowed heavily on the way, and the car couldn't drive, so they walked. When he walked to the shooting scene at 5:00 a.m., Zhang Yimou led everyone to finish the scene.
Zhang Yimou's dedication deeply infected Zheng Hao, benefited him a lot, and also affected his life.
Zhang Yimou and Zhang Ziyi
In 1999, "My Father and Mother" was released nationwide, Zhang Ziyi became a hit, and Zheng Hao was unknown. Later, the supporting role of Sun Honglei was also very popular, but Zheng Hao, the "man of the plot", was always silent.
In the same year, Zheng Hao graduated from college, was admitted to the Air Politics Repertory Theatre, and became a professional actor. After filming "My Father and Mother", Zheng Hao and Zhang Ziyi no longer had contact, and he never appeared in Zhang Yimou's drama again, nor did he have any involvement with Zhang Yimou.
Over the years, Zheng Hao has not played a lot, and has participated in film and television dramas such as "Golden Phoenix Blossom", "Woman Becomes an Official", "A Lin Sister Fell from the Sky", "Zhao Orphan", "The Pursuit of Happy Days" and so on.

In these plays, Zheng Hao rarely plays the male number one, and most of them play supporting actors. It is worth mentioning that in 2012, Zheng Hao participated in the war drama "Changsha Defense War" and played "Li Benzhong", which is also a supporting role, but there are more scenes.
In "Changsha Defense War", Zheng Hao's "Li Benzhong" has a huge contrast in personality and a plump image, and performs the inner struggle of "Li Benzhong", which is well received by the audience.
During college, he played male number one in Zhang Yimou's play, and it should be said that Zheng Hao was lucky and the starting point was also very high. However, Zheng Hao's development is not satisfactory, and he has never become popular.

After watching "My Father and Mother", many viewers have an impression of Zheng Hao, but they don't know what he did later. In fact, Zheng Hao has been filming over the years, although there are not many works, but there are still some brilliant roles.
Stills from Zheng Hao's "Orphans of Zhao"
In the view of "Old Entertainment", the reason why Zheng Hao, the "Mou Boy", did not become popular, has the following three reasons. First, Zhang Yimou's films are mainly actresses, and male actors are even the number one male in a supporting role, and the fullness of the role and role is not as good as the female lead.
Therefore, there is a popular saying in the circle: Zhang Yimou will only praise actresses, not popular male actors.
The second is that Zheng Hao is not a handsome man, his appearance is average, and his image is thick, his temperament is somewhat rustic, and his play path is restricted. Now is an era of looking at faces, if you don't have the characteristics of Ge You and Huang Bo, you must be handsome, so as to win more opportunities.

Third, Zheng Hao is too low-key and not good at propaganda. When "My Father and Mother" was released that year, the entertainment information was not developed enough, and few entertainment media publicized Zheng Hao.
Later, the information developed, and he did not take Zhang Yimou and Zhang Ziyi tied together with himself for publicity. In fact, Zheng Hao can completely create topics around these and attract the attention of the media. In view of the above 3 reasons, Zheng Hao is not red can be understood.
In 2017, when Zheng Hao participated in the variety show "The Birth of an Actor", he criticized the actress Ouyang Nana, who played with herself, and as a result, the media and netizens called him a "drama bully".

At that time, Zhang Ziyi was a judge of the show and directly intimidated Zheng Hao. After the program was broadcast, Zheng Hao caused a small sensation, but then fell silent again.
In March 2021, "The Age of Awakening" was broadcast in a prime-time set of CCTV, hoping that the drama would allow Zheng Hao to play a beautiful turnaround battle and let more viewers remember him and like him.
Zheng Hao is very low-key and has never talked about his private life in public. Now he is 45 years old and married in 2018. I wish Zheng Hao's acting path wider and wider!
