In front of the screen, there is a kind of red, which is an unexpected red for Zhang Songwen. When a young actor takes off his mask and uses the daily life in the reality show to show the world what his "true self" is, he inadvertently touches the nerves of public opinion.
Zhang Songwen, an actor who has never had a monstrous popularity in the mass media, originally quietly cast a role in the theater world. For him, life is more like a private space with the icing on the cake - quiet and simple. However, when he stepped into the lens of the reality show, his actions were unpretentious, but they unexpectedly ignited a wave of public discussion.
The show recorded a Zhang Songwen without a script. He didn't play cards according to common sense, and stopped next to the farmland to admire the leisurely sheep, but he had already seen a good helper for raising flowers in his eyes - sheep dung. "There are treasures everywhere", he did not perform this sentence, but sincerely felt it.
Friends came from afar, and there was no banquet or luxury, only indifferent laughter and the warmth of walking through the villages. They strolled together on the country road, and the night fireworks walk, although the fireworks have dispersed, the joy and laughter have entered everyone's heart.
However, when a bargain with a furniture factory in a flower garden became his new label, the public discussion seemed to be discounted. He once lived a simple life in the suburbs of Beijing, and Zhang Songwen, who had not been discovered by the public for a long time, was also consistent in front of and behind the scenes? He bargained, as if he was cutting the fireworks on his body, which was the truth from the bottom of life.
His words to young actors in the show are full of the expectations of his predecessors for the future, but they are also interpreted as "selling miserably" and "pretending". The increasingly heated discussion in society made him inadvertently become another "Huang Lei". But does the public really understand him, or is it more willing to see him under the auspices of public opinion?
Zhang Songwen once said: "I am grateful for the more than 20 years that have not been seen by everyone, and I am absorbing the nutrients that an actor should absorb every day." Can his words be passed on to the hard-working younger generations to give condolence? And did it become the starting point for him to be misunderstood?
An actor's popularity is not only because of his brilliance on the screen, but also because of his truth and simplicity in life. Zhang Songwen's real presentation opened the door to a topic: what kind of "people" do we expect to see in front of the screen? When a person presents themselves candidly, are we really ready to appreciate that candor?
So far, Zhang Songwen's popularity and controversy are just the beginning. On this bizarre stage, even if there is no warm applause, even if he is beaten by the ruthless keyboard, he still chooses to face the camera and the world with the most sincere attitude. His every step is solid and slow, he's not acting in a play, he's living a life.
So, on the stage of your and my common life, what kind of excitement are we looking forward to? How to find your own character between prosperity and reality?
