In 2006, a "Soldier Assault" became popular, setting off a ratings frenzy.
Until now, this drama is still a screen classic that cannot be tired of watching, and people are reminiscent of it.
The popularity of TV dramas has also directly changed the fate of many actors, and even completely opened up their acting careers.
Nowadays, many well-known actors have come out of this drama, such as Chen Sicheng, Zhang Yi, Li Chen and so on.
But compared to these famous actors, one person has always been low-key.
This person is Zhang Guoqiang, who plays Gao Cheng.
But before filming "Soldier Assault", Zhang Guoqiang's life was bumpy.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="56">01</h1>
Zhang Guoqiang can embark on the road of acting and has a lot to do with his family.
In 1969, Zhang Guoqiang was born in Jiamusi, an authentic northeastern Man.
His family is a Liyuan family, and his great-grandfather is Ni Junsheng, the founder of the famous critic Ni Pai Xiaosheng.
His father, Zhang Haifeng, was a Peking Opera actor, and his mother, Ni Jinghuan, was a critic.
Because his parents are engaged in drama work, Zhang Guoqiang has been familiar with art since he was a child, and he has a spirit and likes it.
However, Zhang Guoqiang did not want to take the road of art at the beginning, but to honestly go to the university to find a job.
Because in the eyes of parents, taking the road of acting is too difficult and hard, and they do not want to see their sons like themselves.
However, Zhang Guoqiang's academic performance was not particularly outstanding, and he was not admitted to college in the end, but went to the factory as a worker.
The father began to worry about his son's future, and decided to let Zhang Guoqiang, who has a talent for acting, go to the art school.
Under the advice of his father, Zhang Guoqiang began to learn various talents, especially his love for acting.
In 1986, Zhang Guoqiang was admitted to the Heilongjiang Provincial Art School and officially embarked on his own artistic path.
That year, Zhang Guoqiang was 17 years old and embarked on the path of his parents' life.
After studying at the art school for 5 years, Zhang Guoqiang was assigned to the Jiamusi Repertory Theatre and became a drama actor.
Although it is a stable job, Zhang Guoqiang's days and luck are not so good.
Because after arriving at the drama troupe, Zhang Guoqiang could only star in some dragon sets, and the salary was extremely low, and it was difficult to even support himself.
That time was also the most difficult time for Zhang Guoqiang, who could not see hope, could not survive, and was confused all day.
In the most difficult times, Zhang Guoqiang needs to live on the relief of his parents, but his self-esteem is often hit.
In order to make life better, Zhang Guoqiang will not only act in dramas, but also work part-time to earn money in his spare time.
He's been a resident singer in a bar, a guest host, and an accompanist, all to survive.
In this way, Zhang Guoqiang stayed in the drama troupe for several years, and he revealed a lot of unwillingness in the torment.
But after all, such a day is not a long-term thing, he began to make up his mind to resign, and ran to Beijing alone.

When he arrived in Beijing and did the North Drift, Zhang Guoqiang's life was not very good, and the road was still difficult.
When he was the most bitter, he was even more bitter than when he was a drama actor in his hometown, and only he knew the taste.
But when he arrived in Beijing, he was going to get ahead, and Zhang Guoqiang was insisting on it little by little by faith, eager to be lucky.
In 1997, Zhang Guoqiang finally received the first TV series "Dripping Water Years", but it did not make much of a splash.
A year later, Zhang Guoqiang got another chance to participate in the TV series "It's Hard to Say Goodbye after Breaking Up", in which he played a melancholy rock singer.
The most important thing is that Zhang Guoqiang not only played a male singer, but also sang the ending song himself.
But despite this, Zhang Guoqiang still failed to become popular, and could only continue to wait for the opportunity, and this wait was another 6 years.
It was not until 2004 that Zhang Guoqiang's good fortune gradually came.
This year, Zhang Guoqiang was invited to star in the TV series "Breaking the Sky", and successfully became the male protagonist Fang Lianxi.
Because of this drama, Zhang Guoqiang met a very important person, that is, Wu Liansheng.
Wu Liansheng, an actor at the Harbin Theater, formed a deep friendship after working together, and the two later collaborated on many occasions.
The person who really made Zhang Guoqiang change his fate was director Kang Honglei.
At that time, Kang Honglei was preparing to shoot the TV series "To the Point", and Zhang Guoqiang played a small role under the recommendation of Wu Liansheng.
Although it was a dragon set, it unexpectedly changed the trajectory of his career, because he was fortunate to be appreciated by director Kang Honglei.
After this, the opportunity that belonged to Zhang Guoqiang finally fell from the sky.
Later, Kang Honglei planned to shoot the TV series "Soldier Assault", and first thought of Zhang Guoqiang, thinking that he was very suitable for playing the role of Gao Cheng, the commander of the Seventh Steel Company.
In 2006, "Soldier Assault" became a classic as soon as it was broadcast.
The popularity of the TV series has also made many actors in the drama famous, and Zhang Guoqiang has also become popular because of this, completely surviving.
That year, Zhang Guoqiang was already 37 years old, a typical late bloomer.
Tempered for many years, Zhang Guoqiang is very mature and sophisticated in both acting skills and in his heart, and then he has accumulated thick hair.
In the classic TV series "My Regiment Leader My Regiment", he played the role of a dragon;
In "My Brother Is Called Shunliu", he played the role of Chen Dalei and so on, and every role left a deep impression.
After staying up for so many years, Zhang Guoqiang finally saw the sunshine and did not give up or give up.

In addition to the twists and turns in his career, Zhang Guoqiang is not smooth sailing in his relationship.
In his early years in the drama troupe, Zhang Guoqiang met his first wife, and the two supported each other to live.
But although this marriage was full of beauty from the beginning, it was difficult to escape the blow of reality in the end.
When Zhang Guoqiang was an actor in a drama troupe, his salary was very low, and it was difficult to even support his family.
Such a hard life, after a long time, the wife will inevitably complain, or even unwilling to face.
Therefore, in order to be able to let his wife live a good life, Zhang Guoqiang will desperately do a lot of part-time work.
After surviving for many years and still not getting better, Zhang Guoqiang chose to go to the north to drift away, leaving his wife and children to live in his hometown.
Leaving his hometown and his wife, Zhang Guoqiang fought hard in Beijing and ran through many dragon sets.
Until 2004, he became the male protagonist in the TV series "Breaking the Sky", and his career has improved somewhat.
But the world is unpredictable, when Zhang Guoqiang's career is just about to start, a phone call from his wife makes him fall into sadness.
His wife formally filed for divorce because these years had been too hard and there was no hope in sight.
In this way, the wife left her young son and found a new life on her own.
The abandonment of his wife and the bitterness of the north drift made Zhang Guoqiang feel desperate and helpless, but he never thought of giving up and falling.
It was also from then on that Zhang Guoqiang threw himself into the acting career and finally slowly survived.
After becoming famous, Zhang Guoqiang met the favorite of his life after the introduction of a good friend, and this person was Wang Xiaonan.
Wang Xiaonan graduated from the drama, but rarely filmed, she and Bao Lei, Lu Yi are classmates, so they are both complete.
The two fell in love and soon got married, and Zhang Guoqiang finally found perfect happiness.
After marriage, the two gave birth to a lovely daughter, and the family of three was plain and happy.
Wang Xiaonan, on the other hand, was willing to retire to the family, became the woman behind Zhang Guoqiang, and became a good wife and mother.
Zhang Guoqiang has also been very low-key over the years, becoming a good husband and father, and perhaps the family has become the biggest reliance in his heart.
