There is such a person in the martial arts world, he debuted to replace Jet Li, two seconds to knock down Wu Jing during the battle, not only has a high appearance, a good figure, a body of tendon meat is even more amazing, but his fame is not very big, in the movie is often in the image of a super villain, this person is An Zhijie, today we will tell his story.
An Zhijie has been addicted to martial arts movies since childhood, often imitating Jackie Chan's fighting actions at home, and thus associated with fitness, in college there is a strong tendon meat, extremely high athletic talent plus handsome appearance, An Zhijie became the star of the school football team, but he chose to drop out of school because he could not afford to pay tuition, as a bartender in a bar, friends felt that he completely wasted his talent and appearance, so he suggested that An Zhijie return to China to enter the show business development, In this way, he embarked on a journey back to China with the dream of being an actor, and at first he had no background and experience, so he could only start as a print model, and occasionally took on some small-cost TV commercials and MVs.
Until 2002, An Zhijie was discovered by Xiang Huaqiang, a lack of people, a lack of money, the two were just like this, An Zhijie and Xiang Huaqiang signed a ten-year contract, as the saying goes, good luck can not be stopped, just signed not long, An Shijie ushered in the first opportunity, the movie "Black Man 2" is about to start filming, but the first starring Jet Li can not star because of the schedule, so the director Xu Ke decided to use the fledgling An Zhijie as the main actor, taking over Jet Li to become a new generation of "black man", There are still no works that can star in the big productions that have attracted much attention, and I have to say that An Zhijie's starting point is really a bit high.
In order to live up to expectations, he also went to the Shaolin Temple for a month of martial arts training, originally thought that An Zhijie would debut that is, the peak, but after the release of "Black Man 2" became a bad film, the movie plot is old-fashioned, An Zhijie's acting skills are too naïve, only the action scenes can barely be seen, there is no glory of the previous work, although there is no hit, but An Zhijie also stepped into the show business circle, and his acting road officially opened.
In 2004, An Zhijie acted in the action movie "Young Ah Hu", he played the boxer "Tank", the fight in the film completely crushed the male protagonist, An Zhijie won the Academy Award, the Best Newcomer Award and the Future Superstar Award with this film, which can be described as his star path in the future, and then his actor is like riding on a hitchhiker, many big-scale directors rush to invite him, including Jackie Chan, he was invited by Jackie Chan to play a villain role in "New Police Story", there are not many lines, However, the fight part fully demonstrates his martial arts skills, and the fight with Jackie Chan can be described as fist to flesh, which makes fans reminisce so far.
Once said in an interview, An Zhijie's martial arts action is very professional, almost every fight scene is particularly smooth, the action is as natural as the clouds and flowing water, more importantly, An Zhijie refuses to use a stand-in, so the effect of shooting is also very real, An Zhijie uses this kind of obvious can rely on the face to eat but rely on the strength of the practice, looking at the current entertainment industry no one can do it.
After that, An Zhijie played the villain TianyangYi again in the "Boy's True Colors" starring Xie Tingfeng and Wu Jing, who is a person who hovers between conscience and bad people, this time the eye-catching part is not the fight part but the acting skills, An Zhijie interprets the inner drama of this character to the fullest, An Zhijie wants to act with acting skills, to have skills, it is reasonable to say that it should have been a fire, but he is still in the position of the showbiz circle.
So An Zhijie began to take the sword to the side of the front, to the development of costume dramas, has starred in the "Three Kingdoms of the Sword Dragon Unloading Armor", "Hongmen Feast", "Guan Yunchang" and a series of costume dramas, his good acting skills in the play, coupled with handsome costumes, are eye-catching, although there is no martial arts foundation belongs to the halfway out of the family, but his moves in the film make the audience mistakenly think that he is a martial arts expert, agile, not inferior to Zhen Zidan, and some people say that he can knock Wu Jing down in two seconds on the set. It can be seen that An Zhijie has really put a lot of effort into martial arts.
But after starring in so many works, word of mouth and strength have been, An Zhijie still did not stand in the position of a front-line martial arts star like Jet Li and Zhen Zidan, but because he has been playing a villain, he has been installed with the title of "villain professional", in Yuan Heping's action movie "Su Qi'er", he provoked the villain's beam for the first time, he played a yuan lie who practiced to the point of going crazy, the tragic white face with an evil smile, a chilling appearance, this temperament is comparable to the Zhou Billy of the year.
In fact, the resources that An Zhijie has in the entertainment industry can be regarded as top-notch, almost every big production has his figure, and with the release of films such as "Reverse War", "Cold War", "Guild Wars", An Zhijie has once again created many villain images, the villain role he plays is domineering, the personality is distinct, and the most important thing is that each of them is extraordinary, in "Special Identity" The black boss he plays has his own villain aura, when he fights with Zhen Zidan, the audience can't help but pinch a sweat for Zhen Zidan, in the movie "Vicious War" Zhong'an Zhijie plays the underworld leader Long Qi, and his temperament of good and evil perfectly interprets the arrogance of the jianghu, and he is also very fierce when fighting, and he is a well-deserved screen tough guy.
Until now, An Zhijie still plays the role of a villain thug on the screen, throughout an anthonymity, An Zhijie's acting career, obviously has a higher starting point than others, but has been tepid, perhaps because the type of role he played is more uniform, resulting in a narrower drama road, not like Nicholas Tse, both can star in action movies and can play idol films, the drama road is wide, there are more opportunities, or perhaps because he and Zhang Jin, there is rarely a script that can create their own characteristics, such as "Ip Man", an Unsatisfactory An Zhijie in his career Emotionally, it is not so smooth.
In the early years of the model from an An Zhijie often with a number of female singers to cooperate with the MV, he and the first girlfriend Li Wei is this acquaintance, the two came together because of the shooting of MV love, one is the music queen, one is a poor boy who has just made his career, this kind of strong woman and weak love makes many melon-eating netizens secretly speculate, An Zhijie must be coveting Li Wei's fame and money, in order to break this rumor, An Zhijie can only act desperately, but the two finally chose to break up, It is said that Li Wei repeatedly complained that he was too childish and immature when interacting with An Zhijie, clinging to himself all day, asking to see him day and night, and he could not accept it, so he chose to end the relationship.
After the two broke up, An Zhijie borrowed wine all day to dispel his sorrows, until he interacted with Xie Tingting, the sister of Tse Tingfeng, but this relationship only lasted for four years, about the reason for the breakup of the two, there are rumors that the third party intervened, and some people said that An Zhijie did not go forward and liked to play games, and therefore pushed off Wong Kar-wai's "Generation Grandmaster", and gave up the Academy Awards film emperor, what the specific reason may only be known to the parties.
In 2014, When an Shijie was filming the movie "Corpse City", he met Jessica, a model 11 years younger than himself, the two fell in love because of the drama, and soon entered the palace of marriage, his wife also gave birth to a baby daughter for him, and since then the iron-blooded tough guy on the screen has become a daughter slave, and the social media updates are all about his daughter and wife, and the iron, with the baby, and the showy wife are his daily life, completely a fitness dad, and the happy appearance envies others.
I hope that An Zhijie's career can also rise to the top, like Zhen Zidan and Wu Jing, who meet the drama that suits him and play his own characteristics.
