Although TVB is still a leader in the Hong Kong television industry, ViuTV, which is controlled by Li Zekai, has a tendency to catch up. In addition to producing a number of high-quality dramas to attract attention, it has also poached many TVB departing artists, and Zhang Songzhi, who played the treacherous role of Glory Zu in "Tea is Hometown Strong", is one of them. Compared with the non-reuse of TVB, Zhang Songzhi has been heavily used after passing through ViuTV, and the "Uncle Chen" played in the hit crossover drama "February 29" has recently received a huge response!
Due to the sharp rise in popularity, Zhang Songzhi's exposure has also risen sharply. In an interview a few days ago, he explained for the first time the reason for his discouragement at TVB. It turned out that after successfully playing the role of "Ershizu", Zhang Songzhi's play path was fixed, and the same persona was acted more than 20 times, but he did not think about the problem of career planning when he debuted at that time, and even felt that only by playing a good villain could he have more play, so whenever the producer opened a new drama, he basically had no access to decent characters, and it was difficult to wait for the opportunity to participate in the "Forensic Record", and the police's role was seriously insufficient, so the transformation plan became more and more difficult to achieve.
Talking about why he left TVB, Zhang Songzhi bluntly said that due to the change of the company system, he felt very unfair. Originally, after getting married and having children in 2008, he had the impulse not to renew his contract, but the top management repeatedly retained, and promised to fight for a good role to play him after signing the contract. Although after that, Zhang Songzhi did participate in many productions, including many good dramas such as "Flying Tiger" and "Stealth Sniper", the role he played was unremarkable and could not stand out at all.
So in 2012, the depressed Zhang Songzhi was full of disappointment with TVB! Coupled with the fact that the salary for the renewal of the contract that year was too low to support the family, in 2012, at the sincere invitation of Wang Weiwei, he angrily left the nest to switch to Hong Kong TELEVISION. Unfortunately, after 2 years, the TV station was not issued a license, and Zhang Songzhi was unemployed again.
Fortunately, at that time, he was promoted by Zhou Runfa and began to appear on the big screen. In 2018, he also stepped on the Academy Awards podium for the first time as an actor because of his participation in "Peerless", which made him very happy. After all, in the 18 years since TVB worked hard, Zhang Songzhi has never had the opportunity to participate in the annual awards ceremony, and even sits on the stage as an audience to watch the ceremony!
In addition, Zhang Songzhi also told another sad past, that is, the fuse of the nest TVB! It is reported that before the expiration of the contract, an assistant choreographer contacted him to say that he had a very important role to play, and repeatedly stressed that this was the director's designated candidate. After hearing this news, Zhang Songzhi naturally rejoiced in his heart and hurriedly asked the other party to pass on the script. Who knows that after seeing the script, the role is simply a dispensable mass actor, and such a psychological gap is really unbearable!
So Zhang Songzhi called the assistant choreographer and said that this role should not be pushed to him, because the cost of his own show in the contract is very high, and it is not cost-effective to take this dragon set, and the crew expenditure is not cost-effective, so it is better to find someone else! However, the other party could not tolerate his resignation, and said that the executive producer and director were optimistic about him to act. In a fit of anger, Zhang Songzhi directly called the artist section and said that he wanted to terminate the contract.
Although there was some emotional impulse, his wife understood him very well after hearing about it, and thought that whoever encountered such a thing should definitely leave! After all, the opportunities for wireless are getting less and less, the development space is limited and the salary is unstable, it is better to go out and break in. Just as the head of the family, Zhang Songzhi feels that he owes his wife too much, because since marriage, the family expenses are basically the burden of each other, although she was Lin Feng's makeup artist, and later opened a makeup school, the income is relatively rich, but seeing that she paid so much, Zhang Songzhi In addition to gratitude, there is some discomfort, thinking that he has delayed his wife, if she is not married to herself, maybe life will be better and happier!
Fortunately, today's Zhang Songzhi has finally mixed up a little famous, and has bloomed in the field of film and television, perhaps he can't become a superstar like Gu Tianle and Aaron Kwok, but loyalty to the family and enthusiasm for the cause is also a kind of responsibility!
