Zhang Yimou looks down on Zhang Songwen? The actors of "Hurricane" gathered in "Twenty Articles", but Zhang Songwen was missing

Among the eight movies that will be released during the Spring Festival this year, if you want to say that the one with the strongest cast, it is definitely "Article 20" directed by Zhang Yimou.

Many well-known and powerful actors in China have said that it is an honor to be able to appear in Zhang Yimou's movie. As a lover of film and television dramas, you should also know that in the entire Chinese mainland market in 2023, the two hottest TV series are "Hurricane" and "The Long Season", one of them is very popular and the other is very high-rated, and this "Article 20" directed by Zhang Yimou basically gathers the main actors in these two dramas.

According to the information on the film platform, there are dozens of well-known and powerful actors who have starred in "Article 20", and among them, Zhang Yi, Gao Ye, Wang Xiao, Aruna and Wang Peilu have all starred in the hit drama "Hurricane" in 2023, and Fan Wei, Chen Minghao and Liu Yitie, etc., have all starred in the high-scoring drama "The Long Season" in 2023.

Director Zhang Yimou once said that if the actors in the two dramas "Hurricane" and "The Long Season" can be gathered and let them star in the same film and television drama, it will definitely be a very good choice.

Now the upcoming "Article 20" is indeed basically a gathering of actors from last year's two dramas, but Zhang Songwen, who is the most popular in "Hurricane", and Qin Hao, who is the most popular in "The Long Season", did not appear in "Article 20".

At the beginning of last year, actor Zhang Songwen became an instant hit with the role of Gao Qiqiang in "Hurricane", and became the most popular actor at that time. Many viewers said that from him, we not only saw the acting skills, but even saw the "handsome" and the "charm" of men.

After that, Zhang Songwen continued to make film appointments, and released a number of movies with his participation in the domestic market one after another, and he will have many film and television dramas in the future.

is such an acting school that became popular with his own strength, such an actor who has attracted the attention of people inside and outside the industry, but did not appear in Zhang Yimou's movie "Article 20", is it because Zhang Yimou looks down on him?

In fact, Zhang Yimou once said that he hoped to cooperate with Zhang Yimou.

Last year, after the popularity of "Hurricane", Zhang Yimou spoke highly of him, saying that he was a representative of a late bloomer and looked forward to cooperating with him.

However, although Zhang Yimou once praised Zhang Songwen, he also caused a lot of controversy at the press conference of his movie "Solid as a Rock" because of a sentence. Zhang Yimou said at the time that if this movie had come out a few years earlier, then Zhang Songwen's villain role might have ranked second. As for the first place, it is Li Zhitian played by He Wei in "Solid as a Rock".

The villains played by Yu Hewei and Zhang Songwen are very aura, and it seems that the handsome uncle Fan is also very sufficient, if the two are to be compared, it is still difficult to distinguish the high. There is no such thing as who comes first and who comes second.

No matter what the reason for the absence of Zhang Songwen in "Article 20", it is indeed a pity that there is no Zhang Songwen in this film.
