Preamble:
Do you know her?
This girl, who was once scolded by the director as "a pig who can't be supported", is now 35 years old and has given birth to a daughter, but her career has been controversial.
She went from being an introverted and shy music student, to becoming the most high-profile new actress, to choosing to focus on family life, how wonderful is this girl's life experience?
How did she go from being a student at the Academy of Arts to such an extraordinary trajectory in life?
Let's explore Yang Zishan's not easy life path.
From the "pig intestine" to Sun Nan's only female apprentice
Yang Zishan was born in Nanjing and is an authentic Jiangnan girl.
She grew up with her grandparents, and her parents rarely appeared in her life.
Although her grandparents loved her, they couldn't fully make up for the lack of her heart.
Lacking parental love, she has been bullied and ridiculed by her classmates in her childhood, which has made her develop an introverted and shy personality since she was a child, and she does not like to make friends with others, nor is she willing to express herself too much.
Despite her introverted personality, Yang Zishan has shown extraordinary talent in literature and art.
She has loved singing and dancing since she was a child, and was admitted to the Music Department of Nanjing University of the Arts.
At the age of 19, she signed with a record company, and the company was optimistic about her potential, tailor-made an EP for her, and specially arranged for an agent to take her to audition for filming.
But unexpectedly, Yang Zishan doesn't seem to have much enthusiasm and dedication to her career.
She always turned down the job opportunities arranged by the company, and even the agent couldn't help but scold her for being "a big pig who can't be supported".
In the end, she terminated the contract with the company.
At this moment, Yang Zishan's luck changed.
In 2007, she participated in Jiangsu Satellite TV's music reality show "Famous Teacher and High Apprentice" as an amateur, and was finally selected by her mentor Sun Nan to become his only female apprentice.
In this show, Yang Zishan's outstanding appearance and clear and moving singing voice made many mentors want to accept her as an apprentice, and He Rundong even invited her to be the heroine of his MV.
Sun Nan cultivated Yang Zishan extraordinarily, took her back to her hometown in Dalian to play, and let her meet her parents.
The intimate interaction between the two also caused scandals in the outside world.
Although Sun Nan's wife at the time, Mai Hongmei, said that she was not jealous of this, she finally divorced Sun Nan a year later.
With her outstanding performance in "Famous Teachers and High Apprentices", Yang Zishan was favored by Star City Entertainment Company and signed a contract.
This is a company co-founded by Michelle Yeoh and has operations across the Taiwan Strait.
Although the company originally arranged for Yang Zishan to develop a singer route, she was introverted and it was difficult for her to sing and dance happily in front of everyone, so she finally gave up her dream of being a singer and began to develop her career as an actress, mainly filming film and television dramas in Taiwan.
"To Youth" unexpectedly became popular
At this moment, Yang Zishan ushered in a turning point in her career.
Director Xiaoyanzi's debut film "To Youth" is in preparation, and the role of the heroine is open for auditions.
Yang Zishan seized this opportunity and completely integrated herself into the state of the heroine Zheng Wei during the interview, showing a unique liveliness, cheerfulness and self-confidence and generosity.
Although the director was quite satisfied with her at first, he felt that she was too fat and needed to lose weight.
So Yang Zishan began a long process of losing weight with boiled vegetables in white water, and finally won the role successfully.
After filming began, Yang Zishan encountered a nightmarish experience.
The director feels that he has been deceived, because Yang Zishan's character and the heroine are like two people, she herself is an introverted and silent character, and this is her first time playing the heroine, and all the confessions, fights, and crying scenes are the first time she has experienced.
Every time he shoots, the director will first praise the actor he cooperated with, and then scold Yang Zishan fiercely.
During this period, Yang Zishan's boyfriend Wu Zhongtian became her most solid backing.
He constantly supported and encouraged Yang Zishan, asking her to let go of herself and act boldly.
With his help, Yang Zishan successfully survived the ordeal of filming.
In the end, "To Youth" achieved good box office results, exceeding 700 million yuan, and was nominated for a number of film festivals.
This movie brought huge attention to Yang Zishan, and she became the most high-profile newcomer actress.
The peak of his career was tepid
Although "To Youth" made Yang Zishan achieve good results, she did not seem to develop her career in one fell swoop.
On the contrary, she showed a mindset that was neither in a hurry nor in a hurry.
After "To Youth", she turned down a large number of youth-themed film and television drama jobs, and chose to take a break for more than half a year before rejoining the group.
But fortunately, Yang Zishan then received an invitation to make a remake of the movie "Twenty Years Old Again", and played against the little fresh meat Luhan, who was red and purple at the time.
Although the film's word-of-mouth and box office were only passing, with the help of Lu Han's high popularity at that time, Yang Zishan also received a lot of attention.
It can be said that Yang Zishan's career luck has always been good, and almost every work has the help of nobles.
When she was still a singer, although she lacked the opportunity to sing, after transforming into an actress, she was almost asked to sing the theme song or interlude in every work.
But Yang Zishan doesn't seem to have seized these opportunities to work hard for her career.
She has always maintained a state of unhurried and unhurried, as long as there is no suitable script, she will not rush into the group.
As a result, she often takes a vacation for more than half a year and misses the best development opportunities.
Just when Yang Zishan's career was just improving, she once again officially announced her relationship.
In 2014, Yang Zishan and her boyfriend Wu Zhongtian made their relationship public.
Both of them are very generous and willing to share their emotional stories in interviews.
At that time, Yang Zishan had already appeared on Taiwan's hottest variety show "Kangxi is Coming".
Xiao S joked on the show that Wu Zhongtian is tepid in the mainland and Taiwan, how did Yang Zishan fall in love with him, do you think he is some kind of rich second generation?
But it turns out that Wu Zhongtian is not a rich second generation, but he is a very gentle and considerate man.
In the later recorded reality show "The Man Who Does Housework", the audience saw Wu Zhongtian's complete tolerance of Yang Zishan's heavy cleanliness habit.
No matter how outrageous Yang Zishan's requests were, he patiently cooperated.
Step into married life
Just when Yang Zishan's career was just improving, she once again officially announced her relationship.
In 2014, Yang Zishan and her boyfriend Wu Zhongtian made their relationship public.
Both of them are very generous and willing to share their emotional stories in interviews.
At that time, Yang Zishan had already appeared on Taiwan's hottest variety show "Kangxi is Coming".
The host Xiao S joked on the show that Wu Zhongtian is tepid in the mainland and Taiwan, how did Yang Zishan fall in love with him, do you think he is some kind of rich second generation?
But it turns out that Wu Zhongtian is not a rich second generation, but he is a very gentle and considerate man.
In the later recorded reality show "The Man Who Does Housework", the audience saw Wu Zhongtian's complete tolerance of Yang Zishan's heavy cleanliness habit.
No matter how outrageous Yang Zishan's requests were, he patiently cooperated.
Yang Zishan's heavy cleanliness comes from the shadows of childhood.
Since she was a child, she didn't have her parents by her side, just living alone in her grandparents' house, and she always felt that she didn't have a real "home".
So after getting married, she cherished her home and demanded that it be spotless.
Wu Zhongtian understands and supports Yang Zishan, and often helps her tidy up her home.
He also accompanied her back to Nanjing to visit her grandparents, which made Yang Zishan feel the warmth of home and slowly learned to forgive her parents.
With Wu Zhongtian's tolerance, Yang Zishan's heart knot was gradually untied, and she was finally willing to take care of her sick father.
Just when Yang Zishan's career and relationship were both harvesting, a new predicament befell her.
In 2019, Yang Zishan gave birth to a daughter at the age of 35.
At the same time, her husband Wu Zhongtian's career was seriously affected because of a plagiarism controversy.
Netizens frantically condemned Wu Zhongtian for plagiarism, and the scolding continued, which made him have to withdraw from the follow-up program recording.
Wu Zhongtian's reputation plummeted, and his career also suffered a heavy blow.
In this case, Yang Zishan, who was originally at the peak of her career, had to take on the heavy responsibility of making money.
In the past two years, her workload has increased significantly, and her works have been published frequently, but the resources she can receive are not as good as before, and it is difficult to get high-quality big-production heroines.
But Yang Zishan doesn't seem to care about this.
She has always maintained a sober mind, and has taken the initiative to choose the path she wants to take several times, rather than blindly pursuing the peak of her career.
Now, with a gentle and tolerant husband by her side, a happy family is her greatest pursuit.
Epilogue:
Yang Zishan's life is not only the story of a girl from obscurity to career take-off and then to family life, but also an inspirational work of a girl who overcomes many difficulties and finally finds her own road to happiness.
Her experience shows us that even if we encounter life's obstacles, as long as we keep a clear head and a strong will, we will eventually find our way to happiness.
