Recently, actor Zhang Songwen spent his 48th birthday, according to the practice of the entertainment industry, whenever a star celebrates his birthday, the outside world will always send blessings to him through other stars, so as to speculate about the star's "situation" in the entertainment industry.
Zhang Songwen naturally can't escape the fate of being "scrutinized" by the outside world, but he didn't expect that Zhang Songwen's 48th birthday was much more cold than we imagined.
The only celebrities who sent him birthday wishes were the younger generations in the entertainment industry like Ma Jiaqi, Zeng Shunxi, and Chen Duling, and in addition, there were only birthday wishes sent to him by fans.
After seeing such a scene, some people feel that Zhang Songwen has ushered in the ending of "people walking away from tea" after more than 1 year of becoming popular with "Hurricane".
There is no way, the entertainment industry is such a reality, who is called Zhang Songwen has not achieved a significant rise in status in the past 1 year or so, but his acting skills have been affirmed by more people.
Is this really the case? Zhang Songwen, who has been popular for more than 1 year, should be asserted by the outside world as "a person walks to tea and cool" with just a cold birthday, or that he has been completely "beaten back to his original form"?
In fact, things are not as superficial as we see, there are exceptions to everything, such as Zhang Songwen's situation in the entertainment industry, which can not be shown on a birthday.
Many people know the famous scene 1 year ago, and at the 13th Beijing International Film Festival in April 2023, Zhang Songwen is definitely the most beautiful existence.
At this year's Beijing Film Festival, Zhang Songwen was not only a member of the jury, but when he walked the red carpet, he could stand in the middle of the well-known directors Zhang Yimou and Guan Jinpeng.
And as one of the participants in the movie "Volunteers", Zhang Songwen's treatment among the actors in the film is also extraordinary, at the Beijing Film Festival, as soon as Chen Kaige saw him, he immediately pushed Zhang Ziyi aside.
There is also the fact that when Zhou Shen sang the song "Light" on stage, the big screen was full of photos of some deceased filmmakers, but one of them was a little out of place.
This person's name is "Zhao Yude", and his identity on the big screen is that he is an agent, and it is said that he should not be in the late filmmaker.
But later, when netizens learned that Zhao Yude was Zhang Songwen's agent before his death, they immediately understood why Zhao Yude appeared on the big screen.
Naturally, after Zhang Songwen became popular, not only his own status improved a lot, but even his deceased agent also enjoyed the treatment of being valued by the outside world.
With just one film festival, we can fully feel that after the explosion, Zhang Songwen's "status in the rivers and lakes" has indeed improved a lot, and even director Zhang Yimou will praise him as a late bloomer when he mentions him on stage.
After the scenery of the Beijing Film Festival, on May 10, 2023, this day is Zhang Songwen's 47th birthday, because the popularity of "Hurricane" has not yet passed at that time, so there are still some stars who sent him birthday wishes at that time.
For example, "sister-in-law" Gao Ye, "Gao Qisheng" actor Su Xiaoling, and even the famous Hong Kong director Liu Weiqiang sent birthday wishes to Zhang Songwen.
Many netizens also asserted that Zhang Songwen's birthday this year was somewhat deserted after comparing last year's birthday, and it looked a little "people go to tea and cool".
Many people also analyzed the reasons behind this, only blaming Zhang Songwen for being too low-key, and more than 1 year after "Hurricane" was on the air, he did not come up with a second work that was widely recognized by the audience.
In fact, more than a year after the broadcast of "Hurricane", Zhang Songwen still has several works to meet the audience, especially in terms of movies, the movies he participated in "More than Endless", "Volunteers", and "The Eighth Suspect" have been released successively.
But we all know that when filming these movies, Zhang Songwen had not yet become popular with "Hurricane" at that time, so he played supporting roles with few roles in these movies.
In addition, in order to win the attention of the audience, these movies have used Zhang Songwen as a gimmick, so that many netizens mistakenly think that Zhang Songwen is the protagonist of the movie, but in fact it is not.
This inevitably also affected the reputation of the movie, and the most important thing is that these movies themselves did not make much splash, and all these things add up, so it is natural that Zhang Songwen has basically not delivered a masterpiece in the past 1 year or so.
As for the TV series, it will not be until February 2024, that is, one year after the broadcast of "Hurricane", that the TV series "Ice Hunting" starring Zhang Songwen will finally be broadcast.
Originally, netizens were looking forward to the show, after all, the director of "Ice Hunting" was Gao Qunshu, who filmed classics such as "Conquest" and "The Wind", and Zhang Songwen once again played a big villain.
But what Gao Qunshu and Zhang Songwen didn't expect was that the combined popularity of the two of them was far less than Yao Anna alone, and after the broadcast of "Ice Hunting", netizens were all discussing Yao Anna's acting skills.
Her yellow hair and red lips, as well as her movements when she holds a gun, are the focus of heated discussions among netizens, in this case, not only Zhang Songwen's acting skills have been ignored, but also the reputation of the drama "Ice Hunting" has not met expectations.
The story happened here, it is estimated that many people will compare Gao Ye with Zhang Songwen, Gao Ye has been active in the public eye for more than 1 year since "Hurricane" exploded.
She is featured in the popular variety shows "Summer of the Band" and "Youth Travel", and even in Zhang Yimou's latest movie "Article 20", she is the starring role.
It is said that actors rely on their works to speak, in such a comparison, Gao Ye's only one "Article 20" is enough to show that her development after "Hurricane" is still good, better than Zhang Songwen.
However, even if Gao Ye is slightly better, we should not use this as a basis, so as to conclude that Zhang Songwen's current "situation" in the entertainment industry can only be described as "people go to tea and cool".
It can only be said that Zhang Songwen was asserted by the outside world that "people go to tea and cool" just because of a seemingly "cold" birthday this time, which is nothing more than letting us see the "cruel truth" of the entertainment industry.
That is, Huang Bo said in an interview in the early years, once you become popular, you must be surrounded by good people, and you will be praised for everything, but on the contrary, if your popularity is not as good as before, all kinds of groundless "cool words" will come immediately.
Zhang Songwen is obviously suffering from the treatment of the second half of the sentence now, but this is all the conclusion of people who don't know him, and those who really know him feel that his current situation is quite good.
Take his birthday this year as an example, although there are not many celebrities who send him birthday wishes, there are a bunch of netizens who send him birthday wishes.
And from the blessings sent by these netizens to Zhang Songwen, it is not difficult to see that netizens really regard Zhang Songwen as a friend, rather than a high-ranking star.
However, this is not the point, the point is to see the birthday wishes sent to him by netizens, Zhang Shuowen chose to deal with it, and he was also very loving, he replied as much as he could.
Especially those netizens who have the same birthday as him, he is really like a friend around him, and he also sent them intimate birthday wishes.
From this point of view, we can see that even though Zhang Songwen has been popular for more than 1 year, his mentality is not floating at all, and such a sober attitude is naturally very beneficial to his future acting career.
In addition, don't look at Zhang Songwen's 48th birthday this time, there are no big-name stars to send him birthday wishes, which seems that his status in the entertainment industry is not very high.
But in fact, this is all an illusion, and when some powerful actors face Zhang Songwen, their attitude is enough to explain Zhang Songwen's situation in the entertainment industry.
Hu Ge must be mentioned here, in January 2024, at the grand ceremony of "Weibo Night", Hu Ge met with Zhang Songwen.
In the backstage picture of "Weibo Night" that flowed on the Internet, Hu Ge has definitely admired Zhang Songwen for a long time, and as soon as he saw Zhang Songwen, he immediately greeted Zhang Songwen, and his body was very low, which was enough to show his respect for Zhang Songwen.
The most important thing is that in our impression, Hu Ge is actually not good at socializing, but in the face of Zhang Songwen, Hu Ge suddenly became a "social expert", unabashedly took out his mobile phone, and immediately asked Zhang Songwen for contact information.
Just from Hu Ge's series of actions, we can see that Hu Ge really treats Zhang Songwen as an idol, and Hu Ge's worship of Zhang Songwen like a "little fan brother" is not only in the backstage of "Weibo Night".
In February 2024, Hu Ge and Zhang Songwen were both invited to participate in the "Chinese TV Drama Annual Ceremony", and at that time, Hu Ge and Zhang Songwen also won the heavyweight award of "Actor of the Year".
It is worth noting that when Hu Ge delivered his acceptance speech, his excitement was nowhere to hide, and his excitement was not because he was excited about winning the award, but because he was excited to accept the award on stage with Zhang Songwen.
Perhaps it was for this reason that Hu Ge's acceptance speech suddenly became a public confession to Zhang Songwen, and he even bluntly said that he fell asleep by watching "Hurricane" during the filming of "Flowers".
You must know that a professional actor like Hu Ge can see the doorway of the showbiz and distinguish which of the actors is superior and which is inferior, obviously, Zhang Songwen is definitely on his showbiz red list.
Seeing this, we should understand that Zhang Songwen is particularly popular with actors like Hu Ge, and such actors don't like to play the Internet.
Zhang Songwen's birthday, Hu Ge did not send birthday wishes, which is absolutely reasonable and in line with Hu Ge's consistent style, but this does not mean that Hu Ge does not respect Zhang Songwen.
Of course, Zhang Songwen has been in the entertainment industry for 20 years, and he is about to be 50 years old.
Especially in the past 20 years, he is really used to seeing all kinds of warmth and coldness in the entertainment industry, although we are familiar with Zhang Songwen, that is, in the past two years.
But he started filming debut, it was indeed 20 years ago, and the reason why we don't have any impression of him is not only because he has been playing various small supporting roles, but also because he often encounters a situation where there is no drama to film.
Especially when he first debuted, for almost 3 years, he interviewed more than 800 crews before and after, but basically none of them were successful.
The reason for this is largely because he is not tall, and he is not handsome, and an assistant director even said in public that he looks like a dwarf and looks like an ape.
From the assistant director's evaluation of Zhang Songwen, we can feel that Zhang Songwen's situation in the entertainment industry was quite difficult at that time, just because he was not outstanding in appearance, he had no filming all year round.
Fortunately, his acting skills are still relatively solid, which allows him to occasionally get some unimportant small roles, and when he is not filming, he also acts as an acting teacher for some stars.
It was during this period when Zhang Songwen needed to struggle hard to barely get some filming, and Zhang Songwen naturally suffered a lot of cold reception, such as what he once said, he was forgotten by the crew in the desert because of picking up garbage.
Zhang Songwen has experienced a lot of such things, he knows too well the pain and sadness of young actors, it is said that he is like this, after he finally becomes popular, it should be easy to float.
But he is unusually sober, after "Hurricane" became popular, he not only took the initiative to reduce his exposure, but also maintained a modest and low-key attitude.
He knows too well that although he has acting skills, fame is also a very accidental thing, and he must cherish it more, and it is precisely because of this calmness that he has become an inspirational model in the face of the explosion.
He only used one sentence to expose the "ridiculousness" of this phenomenon, in his opinion, if he didn't succeed, then his persistence in the actor's profession for so many years would be all a joke.
Zhang Songwen is really sober, when everyone worships him as the "god of acting", only he clearly knows that he is just an ordinary person.
And he also understands that the days when everyone praises you are limited, rather than being unbearable to be "cold" in the end, it is better not to indulge in the praise of the people around you in the first place.
Perhaps for this reason, when "Hurricane" became popular, Zhang Songwen took the initiative to disappear from the public eye, which made him avoid a lot of unnecessary "touting".
Because he has long known that his popularity will disappear eventually, Zhang Songwen's birthday this time, even if he is ridiculed by the outside world for "people go to tea and cool", he is completely acceptable, and he will not have a "glass heart" at all.
Of course, even if Zhang Songwen hasn't come up with it yet, the second work that has been so well received like "Hurricane", maybe he will come up soon.
After all, in the past 1 year or so since the explosion, Zhang Songwen has filmed several works that netizens are looking forward to, such as the suspense period drama "Lonely Boat", and the costume suspense drama "The Code of the Riverside Map at Qingming Festival".
Recently, in fact, a new work of Zhang Songwen has met with the majority of netizens, that is, his life record variety show "Splendid Garden", many netizens have a further understanding of Zhang Songwen through this variety show.
And Zhang Songwen also opened up a new field of variety shows, that is, there is no script, and the whole process is a casual life record variety show, but I didn't expect that the effect was surprisingly good, and it also let us see a lot of unexpected guests.
The story happened here, we should know that Zhang Songwen's birthday is cold, it does not mean that his acting career will be cold, and soon, he will definitely surprise everyone again with new works.
