Zhang Songwen's variety show "Splendid Garden" was launched, because the house he rented before was going to be rebuilt, so Zhang Songwen rented another place nearby to decorate and arrange it himself, and this variety show also mainly recorded Zhang Songwen's daily life, so it was more like a documentary. It's just that Zhang Songwen, who has a full reputation, was questioned by netizens after the first episode was broadcast, thinking that he was too poor and sour because of 5 cents when buying flowers, and as a big star, he didn't understand the hardships of physical stores.
To be honest, this is a bit too up-and-coming, Wang Sicong once said that he sometimes uses coupons, rich people are just rich, not stupid. And although the eldest sister who sells flowers said that Zhang Songwen was too picky, she was still very happy to take him to pick flowers, indicating that she did not lose money to sell. bought furniture later, Zhang Songwen didn't buy it after bargaining, and he was also questioned about setting up a person.
can only say that he is too villainous to live the belly of a gentleman, and after understanding Zhang Songwen's experience, he knows that this is the real him, not a glamorous star, just an actor who happens to be acting. So why was Zhang Songwen able to combine thrift with knowledge and action? This has to start with his personal experience.
1. Lost his mother at the age of 13, graduated from secondary school and worked many jobs
Zhang Songwen was born in an ordinary small village in Shaoguan City, Guangdong, and has two older sisters at home, and the family moved to the city when Zhang Songwen was 11 years old, thinking that life would get better. But when Zhang Songwen was 13 years old, his mother was diagnosed with terminal cancer and passed away. At that time, Zhang Songwen was devastated and decided to leave his hometown and go to Dongguan alone to study secondary school. After graduation, Zhang Songwen worked as a worker in a printing factory, worked as a salesman, worked as an air-conditioning installer, sold drinks, and every job was tiring and not profitable, so Zhang Songwen knew that it was not easy to make money, and every penny was full of sweat of labor.
Later, Zhang Songwen went to be a tour guide again, he was very suitable for this profession, in the era of 500 per capita salary, he could earn 20,000 yuan a month. But Zhang Songwen is still not satisfied, he has changed so many jobs before, he is also looking for himself, and at the age of 25, he finally decided to be an actor.
2. After 25 years in the industry, he still can't afford to burn coal
After Zhang Songwen was admitted to Beijing Film Corporation, with his enthusiasm and hope for being an actor, he was ready to show his skills in the entertainment industry and become a professional actor.
But reality gave him a fatal blow, after graduating at the age of 27, Zhang Songwen got the opportunity to stay in school as a teaching assistant because of his good acting skills, but his desire was not to be a teacher. Zhang Songwen, who drifted north, kept running the crew to find filming while taking the teacher's meager salary, and interviewed 800 crews in 3 years, all of which were rejected. At the worst time, Zhang Songwen was exposed to his face in public, belittling his image and height, and ridiculing him for not being worthy of being a star at all.
At that time, Zhang Songwen's income as a teaching assistant was more than 1,000 yuan per month, and not only could he not afford to rent a house in Beijing, but even eating became a problem. It was also at that time that Zhang Songwen moved to the suburbs of Shunyi, rented a village house, and lived in it for 15 years, and did not move until before the recording of the variety show this time, and the new home was also rented.
Zhang Songwen was the most difficult time, living in the suburbs, with no job and no income, going to the vegetable market every evening to buy piles of vegetables for sale, unable to burn coal in winter, and relying on righteousness to resist the cold, but he and Zhou Yiwei both thought that this was their love for actors, and everything was worth it.
3. Don't bow to money, have regrets but no regrets
Zhou Yiwei was not popular in his early years, but he was better than Zhang Songwen in the same dormitory, at least he didn't have to worry about food and housing. When Zhang Songwen couldn't afford to buy coal, other friends persuaded Zhang Songwen to bow his head to reality appropriately for the sake of life, and take on some "bad characters" to make money. But Zhang Songwen is unwilling to compromise, and Zhou Yiwei also understands his friend's temperament, so he can only help him silently and recommend Zhang Songwen to the director as soon as he has a good role.
Yao Chen also introduced the role to Zhang Songwen, although it was unsuccessful, Zhang Songwen always remembered her kindness.
At the age of 28, Zhang Songwen played the male lead of "Riding the Dragon and the Quick Son-in-law" for the first time, and the salary of the whole drama was only tens of thousands of yuan, and later he also played some supporting roles, but it was always tepid.
Once Zhang Songwen and Lin Jiachuan participated in a drama starring Weng Hong, the intermediate investor ran away, and he and Lin Jiachuan couldn't even afford air tickets, but Weng Hong noticed the dilemma of the two and helped them buy tickets.
When he was 33 years old, Zhang Songwen met Bole, and Zhao Yude, a well-known agent in Hong Kong, admired him very much, and came to Beijing for him, but never interfered with Zhang Songwen's selection of scripts.
Zhang Songwen is unwilling to bend his waist for five buckets of rice, and he will never accept the role he doesn't like, preferring to eat bran in the village. Zhao Yude silently accompanied him for 8 years, and then he couldn't hold it anymore, and admitted that he couldn't even pay the rent, hoping that Zhang Songwen could change it.
Fourth, do not forget the original intention after becoming popular
A "Hurricane" made the acting school Zhang Songwen experience the taste of popularity. After becoming popular, Zhang Songwen did not buy a luxury villa, he still lives in a small farm yard on the outskirts of Beijing, but for him, his work has become more, and his life is still the same. In his small farmhouse courtyard away from the hustle and bustle, Zhang Songwen can calm down to sharpen his acting skills and embrace a down-to-earth life.
lost his mother at an early age, wandered around in his youth, never met a young man, became popular overnight in middle age, Zhang Songwen experienced birth, old age, sickness and death, and also experienced all kinds of life, knowing the hardships and helplessness of life, it is better than those stars who don't know the cost of firewood, rice, oil and salt, and often have millions of bags at every turn, right? The essence of Zhang Songwen's bargaining is that he didn't regard himself as a star, he hopes that he can still retain the original fireworks, netizens often can't get used to the 2.08 million in domestic entertainment, accusing them of being high, and now there is an actor who is down-to-earth and really regards himself as an ordinary person, why is he unhappy again?
