Speaking of the name Kou Zhanwen, many netizens may feel a little confused and do not know who this person is, but seeing the photo of this actor may be that many netizens, especially those after the 80s or early 90s, will think that it was him.
Many friends of 8090 may have seen this TV series starring Huang Haibing, Zheng Guolin and Nie Yuan before, "The Legend of Sui and Tang Heroes". Although with the current vision, it seems that many of the props of this TV series may be relatively rough, especially some large scenes may be a few extras. But this TV series was relatively popular at that time. And in this TV series, Wei Chigong is played by Kou Zhanwen.
Wei Chigong, played by Kou Zhanwen, looks black and strong, and thick, which is very much in line with the artistic image of "Black Jingde" in folklore. It can be said that the role is very expressive. I watched this TV series at that time and was particularly impressed by Wei Chigong, played by Kou Zhanwen.
In addition to Wei Chigong in "The Legend of Sui and Tang Heroes", Kou Zhanwen may also have a more widely known image, that is, the erniu played in the TV series "Spring Brilliant Pig Eight Commandments". In the TV series, Kou Zhanwen is divided into two roles, in addition to Erniu, he also plays Erniu's former life houyi.
However, in addition to these two characters, it seems that in recent years, Kou Zhanwen has not often been seen on television. The more famous film and television drama work he has recently starred in may be the movie "Big Man" in which Kou Zhanwen plays a car repairman.
For the actor Kou Zhanwen, many people may not know that in fact, he is still a brother with Wu Jing or the same door. Both of them were disciples of martial arts instructor Wu Bin. Kou Zhanwen started earlier than Wu Jing, and was still Wu Jing's brother.
Compared with Wu Jing's current position in the entertainment industry, Kou Zhanwen now feels much more low-key. The fame is not particularly large, and many viewers may remember his appearance, but they may not be particularly impressed by his name.
I think there are only three reasons why Kou Zhanwen is appearing on camera now. First, he began to try to be a director very early, and now his main work energy is focused on behind-the-scenes work. So now there's less time to be an actor.
Second, his image is too prominent, and most of the roles that can be played are the roles of honest and thick men such as Wei Chigong and Erniu. The audience will think of these characters as soon as they see him, so the play path is limited.
Third, the current TV series are honestly a lot for traffic. No matter what the theme of the TV series can be finally made into a romance film, most of such TV series are some small fresh meat as the starring, even if not the starring is also dressed up beautifully. The reason why the current TV series looks so jumpy is because the actors wear too much makeup. A powerful actor like Kou Zhanwen is definitely out of place in such a TV series, so there are few scenes.
The quality of tv dramas is getting worse and worse in general. The main reason is that no matter what kind of TV series can be made into an idol drama in the end. The show business circle should be full of flowers, born and ugly. You can't blindly be handsome and beautiful, and you can't add love drama to any TV series. This is entertainment to death, and it is not conducive to the healthy development of the entertainment industry.
There are actually many actors like Kou Zhanwen, and the strength is there, that is, there are few opportunities to shoot dramas, because now the homogenization of TV dramas is too serious, they are all turning in the direction of idol dramas, and there are too few themes suitable for them.
