Preamble:
On the way to chasing your dreams, have you ever fallen into confusion?
Seeing dreams out of reach, giving up seems so simple.
But perhaps, as long as we have the courage to continue to move forward, we can be like Gong Zheng and achieve a counterattack in life.
Let's listen to the legendary story of how the CCTV host turned into an actor and climbed to the peak of his career with his indomitable dream-chasing spirit.
Dream sprouts: the beginning of broadcasting and hosting
When he was in college, Gong Zheng majored in finance and economics, and he should have embarked on an ordinary career path.
But by chance, he got acquainted with classmates from the school's radio station, and since then he has developed a strong interest in broadcasting and hosting work.
In his senior year, Gong Zheng resolutely joined the radio station and began to experience the joy of hosting work in person.
After a period of training, his hosting talent was gradually revealed, and he was also well-known on campus.
Approaching graduation, Gong Zheng began to plan for life.
Although the employment prospects of the finance major are quite good, the yearning for the hosting career in his heart made him determined to give up a stable job and apply for the local TV station.
Soon after graduation, with his outstanding appearance and solid hosting skills, Gong Zheng passed the interview as he wished and officially became a host.
From this moment on, his dream path began.
Hosting career: all the way to the end
Although the work of the local station is mediocre, Gong Zheng has never given up his inner dream.
He always maintains a professional work attitude, devotes himself wholeheartedly to every ordinary program, and strives to make his hosting style more proficient.
With this hard work of not admitting defeat, Gong Zheng gradually won the love of the audience, and his popularity is also rising.
In 2004, the opportunity finally came.
Under the appreciation of the leaders, Gong Zheng got a valuable opportunity to join CCTV.
For a host, it is undoubtedly the greatest honor to be able to stand on CCTV, the top stage in the country.
Faced with this opportunity, Gong Zheng was extremely excited, and he was determined to firmly grasp this life-changing opportunity.
CCTV Road: Brilliant and Bumpy
After entering CCTV, Gong Zheng seemed to have taken a dose of chicken blood, and the whole person was extremely energetic.
He devoted himself to his work, brought his hosting skills to the extreme, and soon hosted the popular program "Five Days".
As long as Gong Zheng hosts, the ratings of this show can be maintained at a high level.
The audience all admired Gong Zheng's professionalism and superb hosting skills, and he finally found his destiny in life.
But no one thought that just when Gong Zheng's career was rising step by step, a sudden program revision would disrupt his dream career.
Due to the adjustment of the channel, the "Five Days Talk" program was forced to stop broadcasting, and Gong Zheng, as the host, also lost his job.
In the face of this unprecedented blow, Gong Zheng once fell into extreme confusion and hesitation.
Although the TV station rearranged his job for him, Gong Zheng's enthusiasm for hosting has gradually faded in this setback.
He has been outstanding and intelligent since he was a child, and it is the first time that he has suffered such a heavy blow on the road of life, and it is inevitable that he is a little at a loss.
Confusion in the workplace: the dream of group performance is brewing
Just when Gong Zheng was at a loss, the experience of part-time group performance in college suddenly broke into his mind.
The joy of standing on the stage to show his talent lingered in his heart for a long time.
Gong Zheng began to weigh his career choices repeatedly, and finally made up his mind to change his career to become an actor.
This decision undoubtedly made the relatives and friends around him feel incredible.
Why should a host who once dominated CCTV give up a stable "golden job" and enter the entertainment industry full of variables? For Gong Zheng, this is an unprecedented big bet in life.
But he was extremely firm in this decision, and even in order to gain a foothold on the road of acting in the future, he resolutely applied for the Central Academy of Drama and returned to campus to learn acting knowledge from scratch.
Plunged into film and television: fight again from scratch
In 2005, after leaving CCTV, Gong Zheng officially entered the entertainment industry as an actor.
As a newcomer, he can only start from the bottom and make cameo appearances in some insignificant small roles in major film and television dramas.
Although the audience still has some impressions of this former CCTV host, they can't leave too deep an image on him.
If Gong Zheng is willing to use his status as a veteran host to do some gimmick marketing, he will surely win a lot of attention.
But he would rather work in obscurity in the circle than deviate from his principles.
In Gong Zheng's view, a glamorous appearance is important, but a real actor only has solid internal skills and superb acting skills, which is the foundation of his life.
To this end, he devoted himself to the theory of acting, and longed to one day be able to display his talents on the stage.
Repeated defeats: frustration is hard to hide persistence
The first few years after changing careers can be said to be the most difficult stage for Gong Zheng.
Although he is constantly struggling with the major crews, it is always difficult to be recognized by the audience.
Even cooperating with veteran actors Wang Zhiwen , Zhang Fengyi, etc., still can't attract much attention, which inevitably makes people waver in their choices.
But whenever he is confused, Gong Zheng always recalls his determination to leave CCTV.
For the dream in his heart, he has already given so much, can he just give up halfway? Thinking about it, Gong Zheng can only become more and more determined to move forward.
In the face of countless doubts and failures, he has always been able to maintain extraordinary calmness and continue to move forward with the tenacity of never admitting defeat.
Opportunity is coming: the dream is a long road
Just when Gong Zheng was tireless, in 2015, he finally ushered in a turning point in his career.
This year, Gong Zheng has continuously cooperated with first-line film and television stars such as Huang Bo and Sun Li, and finally has the opportunity to show his acting skills in front of the audience.
The release of new works one after another is like injecting a shot in the arm into Gong Zheng's career, making him full of confidence in the future prospects.
Among them, Gong Zheng's wonderful performance in "Once Upon a Time in Qingdao" made countless audiences finally see the true strength of this actor.
In the play, he plays a young man who fell into prison because of hatred, but in the end, he awakens the good thoughts in his heart in the struggle and completely lets go of his resentment against the world.
This complex character image fully shows Gong Zheng's delicate and nuanced acting skills, and he presents the inner pain and struggle of the characters in front of the audience, which is all moving.
Strength highlighted: praised in the industry
In this way, Gong Zheng began to become famous in the film and television industry.
Immediately afterwards, in the popular drama "The Legend of Miyue", he brilliantly interpreted the image of a cautious and sophisticated "Yongrui", which won a lot of praise.
He was once unnoticed, but now he has become the favored object of major directors.
But Gong Zheng is still not complacent because of this, but more carefully selects the roles he plays, and he hopes that every role can perfectly show his unique acting skills.
Years of precipitation and honing finally began to pay off at this time.
Gong Zheng felt extremely relieved, because this was the reason why he left CCTV and moved forward.
Today, even though he is over 30 years old, he still has a persistent passion for pursuing his dreams and is eager to push his career to new heights.
A dream come true: a big prize and a pennant
2017 has become the most glorious year in Gong Zheng's life.
This year, he starred in the Anti-Japanese War movie "Lure the Wolf", and with his outstanding performance in the film, he won the "Best Actor" award at the 34th Popular Film Hundred Flowers Awards.
For an actor, winning the actor award is undoubtedly the highest affirmation of his career, and this is the greatest reward for Gong Zheng's years of hard work.
In "Lure the Wolf", Gong Zheng played a revolutionary soldier "Zeng Yongya" who used superb wisdom to fight against the Japanese army's cunning traitors.
This role requires both strategy and courage in interpretation, which is not an easy task.
But Gong Zheng brilliantly interprets all aspects of this complex character, and from his every subtle expression, the audience can see the figure of the heroic revolutionary pioneers of the year.
The whole film reveals Gong Zheng's superb acting skills everywhere, which undoubtedly proves that this former CCTV host has grown into a powerful "actor" level actor.
Fruitful: Flowers
After winning the actor throne in one fell swoop, Gong Zheng's career has reached the pinnacle of his life.
Major movies and TV series all regard him as the best candidate, and invitations come one after another.
But despite countless praises, Gong Zheng still maintains a low-key and humble style, and is never proud and complacent.
Every time he appears in a new work, he will devote himself as much focus as before, and study the role with his usual heart.
Now 40-year-old Gong Zheng has become an indispensable queen actor in major dramas.
He is not only handsome and handsome on the outside, but also has a calm and calm temperament, and there is a positive energy in addition to his strength.
Whether it is a business war drama, a military drama or a period drama, Gong Zheng can always perfectly interpret the unique personality of the character, making every story vivid and realistic.
It can be said that at this age, he has grown into a leader among the powerful actors of the Mesozoic Generation.
