Entering the showbiz for the first time: Huang Zhizhong's basketball dream and transformation.
Huang Zhizhong, who was born in Tianjin, is 1.88 meters tall at the age of 13, and is favored by basketball coaches, practicing solid skills day and night, and his basketball dream is unswerving. Who knows, no matter how difficult Huang Zhizhong's height is, he has never been able to meet the professional standards, and the huge dream of his youth has come to naught overnight. In 1983, Huang Zhizhong left the stadium and began to work in the factory, running for a living. However, his inner yearning for the performing arts has not been extinguished. In 1991, with the encouragement of his friends, he gave up everything and practiced hard behind closed doors for three months, and finally passed the exam and was admitted to the Central Academy of Drama to study acting.
The Budding Love: Encounter and Marriage with He Yin
In 1995, Huang Zhizhong graduated from the Central Academy of Drama with honors. In 1997, he participated in the filming of the TV series "Mainlander", and fell into brilliance with fellow actor He Yin. He Yin is famous for his elegant temperament and soft eyebrows, but Huang Zhizhong's indomitable character and dreams make He Yin fall in love. In October 1997, the two registered their marriage together and made a commitment to spend their lives together.
Family and career: Huang Zhizhong's role reversal and sacrifice
In 2003, Huang Boyuan, the only son of Huang Zhizhong and He Yin, was born. Since then, his career has been booming, but his family time has been greatly reduced, he often lingers on the crew and does not return overnight, missing many important times for his son, which puts his wife He Yin under more pressure. In 2008, Huang Zhizhong's career was in full swing, but his marriage to He Yin came to an end and he experienced a peaceful breakup. In order to protect their son, they chose to hide the matter. After the divorce, Wong felt deeply guilty and sad, and often missed his son, who lived in Canada. But at the same time, he is still tirelessly creating a halo in the film and television industry and achieving a glorious career.
Personal glory: the success of "Eight Hundred" and the encouragement of his son
In 2020, Huang Zhizhong starred in the screen masterpiece "Eight Hundred" for the first time in his life, and the role of "Old Gourd" in the film was outstanding and profound, leaving an unforgettable impression in the hearts of the audience. During this filming, he invested a lot of time and energy in preparing for the scene, and every time he recalled the war years, he would have a strong sense of substitution. Huang Zhizhong exquisitely interpreted it with his understanding of the role, and successfully charmed all the audience.
Subsequently, Huang Zhizhong mentioned that what moved him the most was a phone call. His son Huang Boyuan was studying in Canada at the time, and he communicated with his father through video conferencing and told Huang Zhizhong that he had watched "Eight Hundred". Huang Boyuan bluntly said, "Dad, your performance in the movie is fantastic, I'm proud of you." These words made Huang Zhizhong, who has always been emotionally introverted, cry on the spot, and cried for the first time in his life.
Marital Changes: Separation from He Yin and the Influence of His Son
With the continuous improvement of his career, the relationship between Huang Zhizhong and his ex-wife He Yin has also cracked. In 2011, Huang Zhizhong admitted that his long-term love of work led to the lack of family responsibilities, and the two finally decided to break up peacefully. Although the divorce made Huang Zhizhong feel painful, in order to protect their 9-year-old son Huang Boyuan, they had no choice but to hide the news.
After the divorce, Huang Zhizhong lived alone in a small apartment in the city. Outside of work, he often misses his son silently. Once, Huang Zhizhong saw his son and mother walking side by side on the street, and he couldn't help but burst into tears. He is well aware of how much the end of this marriage has affected his son and brought a huge change in his life.
Parent-child relationship reconstruction: reconciliation with son Huang Boyuan
In the summer of 2012, Huang Zhizhong took his spare time to come to the primary school where his son studied, and wanted to spend a father-son weekend with Huang Boyuan. But Huang Boyuan, who was 13 years old at the time, seemed a little resistant and cold. Huang Zhizhong understood his son's feelings, took the initiative to cook for him, and silently shed tears while playing with him.
Looking at his father's sad appearance, Huang Boyuan gradually softened. He took the initiative to comfort: "Dad, you don't have to worry about me, I understand that everything is not your fault." Huang Zhizhong hugged his son and kissed him over and over again. Since then, the two fathers and sons have rebuilt a close distance, and regularly call each other to learn about the latest in life.
Continuous efforts: Huang Zhizhong's career development and fatherly love
In order to support his son's future education, Huang Zhizhong took over a number of movies and TV series in one go. Once, he ran for 48 hours without sleeping, just to finish his work as soon as possible and return to his son. Despite the tremendous physical pressure, he overcame all difficulties with a professionalism throughout.
In 2015, Huang Boyuan was admitted to an art high school in Canada. Huang Zhizhong took a lot of vacation time to accompany his son to settle down and learn about learning. In order to give his son a better environment for growth, he also continued to send money to support his son's daily expenses. Huang Boyuan was moved and determined to return to China in the future to share the stage with his father.
Son Growth: Huang Boyuan's Education and Dream Pursuit
Huang Boyuan has shown a strong interest in art since he was a child. He loves music and has had vocal training for a while. Huang Zhizhong saw it in his eyes and knew his son's love for art in his heart. In 2003, when Huang Boyuan was just 1 year old, Huang Zhizhong hired a music teacher to come to his home to teach his son vocal lessons. Every time after class, Huang Boyuan can happily sing the songs he just learned for his father. Looking at his son's eyebrows, Huang Zhizhong only felt relieved and proud.
But as he grew older, Huang's interest in music began to shift to stage art. In 2008, he told his father that he wanted to learn stage acting. Huang Zhizhong did not object, but took the initiative to submit a stage performance class for his son. Under the guidance of the coach, Huang Boyuan quickly mastered the basic acting skills and dance skills. In October of the same year, he participated in a children's talent show, and won applause from the audience for his exquisite appearance and excellent stage performance. This also embodies Huang Boyuan's determination to become a performing artist in the future.
Father and son: Huang Boyuan's artistic career and future prospects
Huang Zhizhong valued his son's ambitions, so he offered to let his son join the audition for his next movie. After some competition, 15-year-old Huang Boyuan finally won the role of the protagonist with his outstanding acting talent and delicate acting skills. Under the guidance of Huang Zhizhong, Huang Boyuan quickly devoted himself to filming and production. The father and son personally participated in the brewing of character relationships and dialogues, and Huang Boyuan completed his debut under his father. This also shortened the distance between the two on the same stage.
Subsequently, Huang Boyuan was admitted to the performance department of Beijing Film Academy through the interview. During his time at the school, he performed on a number of dramatic school productions and performed in many provinces with the school troupe. After graduating in 2018, Huang Boyuan officially debuted, starring in many film and television works, and also participated in many stage plays. After many years, he once again worked hand in hand with his father Huang Zhizhong to shoot a father-son friendship movie. Now that Huang Boyuan has grown into a full-fledged actor, he and his father walk side by side, and together they adhere to the pursuit of performing arts.
