Zhang Yishan, a post-90s actor who was once all the rage, has recently fallen into the whirlpool of public opinion. A series of scandals have sprung up and surrounded him, leaving a wide audience disappointed with the former idol.
Some people jokingly called Zhang Yishan a "collapsed star", pointing to his bleak career prospects. There are also suspicions that the scandals may have been just a hype ploy to boost his popularity and attention.
Regardless of their authenticity, these rumors did make the outside world confused and curious about Zhang Yishan's true face.
In the face of doubts, Zhang Yishan chose to remain silent. However, all kinds of negative news emerged one after another, like a rolling tide, gradually submerging his image.
At present, what exactly has Zhang Yishan done to arouse such criticism? This may need to start with his past origins.
Transformation from a child star to a powerful faction
Speaking of Zhang Yishan, the first impression that comes to many people's minds may still be the lively and lovely image of "Liu Xing". However, before entering the entertainment industry, this Beijing boy born in 1992 had already shown extraordinary talent.
Zhang Yishan, who was only 8 years old, entered the sports school to practice martial arts with his love for martial arts, although he was still young, he already had a clear career plan for the future. The following year, in 2000, he made his first appearance in the advertising industry, reaching out to his dream acting career.
The 8-year-old boy's face is young and cute, which makes many advertisers flock to him.
A year later, in 2001, the god of fate finally nodded enthusiastically to Zhang Yishan. The famous director Xu Genghui fell in love with him at a glance, opening the door for his first appearance on the screen.
That work is called "Little Soldier Zhang Ga", in which Zhang Yishan starred in the glasses, smart and cute little boy "Tong Le".
Although the protagonist in the film is actually Xie Mengwei who plays the role of "Gazi", Zhang Yishan's outstanding talent and expressiveness still leave a deep impression. More crucially, this work laid the foundation for his future role in the sitcom "Family with Children".
Sure enough, a year later, in 2002, with his outstanding performance in "Family with Children", the name Zhang Yishan began to occupy a place in the public eye.
The play is divided into four chapters, and the audience witnessed the whole process of Zhang Yishan's transformation from a child to a teenager. The lively and lovely role of "Liu Xing" played by him deeply attracted the love of countless audiences, and finally won him the annual potential acting newcomer award that year.
Since then, Zhang Yishan has left a deep mark on the big screen. But to completely get rid of the shadow of a pure child star, he still needs a gorgeous turn.
Finally, when he starred in the military drama "The Melting Pot" in 2014, Zhang Yishan achieved this breakthrough. He plays the role of "Xu Xiaobin" in the play, with a distinct personality, both internal and external, which is the key to unlocking this role.
What impressed the audience was that Zhang Yishan conveyed "Xu Xiaobin's" endless nostalgia for his grandmother through his meticulous performance in the affectionate "eating dumplings" crying scene in that scene.
But his most memorable masterpiece is the crime drama "Residual Sin" in 2016. The image of the undercover police officer created by Zhang Yishan in the play is easy and smooth, which can be described as an explosive performance.
For a time, his acting skills won unanimous praise and respect from audiences around the world, and he was known as a "hard-boned little student". In this way, Zhang Yishan firmly sat on the throne of a powerful actor born in the 90s.
Honors and recognitions
"Residual Sin" is undoubtedly an important turning point in Zhang Yishan's acting career. This drama not only made him famous around the world, but also kicked off the prelude to the take-off of his career.
In the next few years, Zhang Yishan can be described as full of opportunities. Major variety shows and reality shows have invited him to appear, from "High Youth League" to "This! is the Iron Armor", to "Start the Broadcast! Sitcom", etc., the audience can see him on the screen at any time.
In terms of film and television dramas, Zhang Yishan's footprints are also all over the field, including modern dramas, costume dramas, and war films, and he will never give up on challenging new roles.
Even the costume dramas that once put a lot of pressure on him, he was not afraid and showed his skills.
In addition to his outstanding performance at work, Zhang Yishan has also won many heavyweight honors and titles during this time. From the most anticipated rookie actor to the most influential actor, these titles all confirm his status and worth in the industry.
Some people even boldly predicted that Zhang Yishan's future achievements will definitely break through the height of actor Xia Yu. This kind of prospect is enough to see how high the outside world has high expectations for him.
However, despite his thriving career, Zhang Yishan himself has never been complacent about his achievements. He still maintains a humble work attitude, and treats every role with dedication and dedication.
Moreover, he and his friend Yang Zi, who is also born in the 90s, have no regrets in their private friendship.
The two have been fellow villagers in Beijing since they were children, and they have only been half a year apart, and they have gone through the entire teenage age from ignorance to maturity. This deep friendship that originated from childhood meant that they were extremely close to each other.
Whenever they see the two appear in the same frame, the audience can feel the sincerity from their hearts.
People often compare Zhang Yishan with the tenacious and persistent director Jiang Wen, thinking that he is the representative of a new generation of "hard-core actors". And Zhang Yishan seems to be happy to accept this, his love and dedication to the profession of actor is his biggest motivation in life.
Zhang Yishan is riddled with scandals and constantly questioned
In 2020, just when Zhang Yishan's career was taking off and everyone was in the limelight, a movie with high hopes hit him hard - "The Story of Deer and Ding" was released.
As Mr. Jin Yong's final work, "The Legend of Deer and Ding" has always been the favored adaptation object of film and television companies. From Stephen Chow to Chen Xiaochun, to Tony Leung and Huang Xiaoming, there are countless actors who play the actor "Wei Xiaobao".
When the news of Zhang Yishan playing this role came out, the outside world originally had extremely high expectations. Who knew that after seeing the real person, he was completely crushed by his performance.
Zhang Yishan deliberately imitated Stephen Chow's exaggerated interpretation style in the play, but being too contrived had the opposite effect. From time to time, he would wink his eyebrows, sharp-beak monkey cheeks, and even have a grotesque look on his face.
What's even more ridiculous is that the eye-catching green hat he wears, the whole shape makes it impossible for the audience to look at it directly, it is too ugly.
For a while, there was a lot of scolding on the Internet, and they complained about whether the crew deliberately made a "" work to hype. For this post-90s actor who was pinned on by the audience, everyone couldn't help but feel disappointed.
This was followed by even more jaw-dropping scandals. Some netizens photographed Zhang Yishan's bad behavior of drinking so much that he urinated in public at will, while others exposed the episode of his three-year love history with actress Song Yanfei.
The two kept a low profile with each other when they were together, but after the breakup, Zhang Yishan immediately became intimate with another long-haired woman, which convinced the outside world of his various behaviors.
What's even more exaggerated is that once he drove a luxury car into a traffic restricted area for a moment of greed, and was fined 100 yuan and deducted 3 points, this arrogant and lascivious lifestyle undoubtedly made his image in front of the public plummet.
For a time, public opinion was in an uproar, and people from all walks of life questioned whether Zhang Yishan would become the next "collapsed star", which also sounded one after another. After all, as a popular student, he has been repeatedly exposed to such reckless and unscrupulous absurdities, which has seriously damaged the image of the idol, no wonder it will cause such strong criticism and verbal criticism.
Some people even pointed the finger at the singer Han Hong, who once praised Zhang Yishan, thinking that her vision may have deviated. For a while, Zhang Yishan fell into the storm of public opinion, and the outside world questioned and criticized him more and more, and the degree of condemnation he faced was increasing day by day.
The Zhang Yishan scandal is suspected of being hype
Although Zhang Yishan has fallen into the quagmire of many controversies, attentive netizens seem to smell something unusual from it. They have noticed that those so-called scandals with "ironclad evidence" are actually full of doubts in the process of verifying their facts.
For example, in those so-called "split-leg" photos, the faces of Zhang Yishan and his female companion in the lens were all obscured intentionally or unintentionally, and they couldn't be seen really.
Moreover, about the scene where he urinated in public, a closer look will show that the figure in the picture does not even match Zhang Yishan.
What makes people feel even more suspicious is that in the face of such verbal criticism, Zhang Yishan behaved extremely calmly and calmly, and never made any response or clarification.
As a public figure, his disregard would undoubtedly be seen as a tacit acquiescence to the authenticity of these negative news.
However, just when the doubts on the Internet were at their highest, Zhang Yishan suddenly announced publicly that he would participate in the filming of the movie "Bloody Glory" directed by Chen Li. This news is undoubtedly a big surprise.
Because if Zhang Yishan's conduct is really too debauched and disorderly, as those scandals say, which director would be willing to reuse him? His sudden statement is tantamount to telling the world that the resources in his hands are still abundant, and the film and television work has never stopped.
Therefore, some netizens directly suspect that these negative news are actually carefully planned, and the purpose is to hype up Zhang Yishan's popularity. After all, in the entertainment industry, some twists and turns are often needed to increase attention, otherwise it is difficult to stand out among thousands of stars.
In this regard, netizens also expressed their understanding one-sidedly. However, whether it is true or false? What is the truth of the facts? I am afraid that only Zhang Yishan himself knows best.
And this doubt may also need to wait and see what happens, and wait for time to give a final answer.
