Speaking of Zhao Liang, everyone may not be familiar with this name, but when it comes to "Sandezi", many viewers will involuntarily flash his face in their minds: a big round face, small eyes, laughter and dimples.
In 1997, after the broadcast of "Kangxi Micro Service Private Interview", it became popular all over the country, and Zhao Liang, who played The Three Virtues in the play, also became famous overnight, and women and children were well known.
After 24 years, the emperor Zhang Guoguo in the play has become an old drama bone and is still active on the screen. However, Zhao Liang ran to raise chickens "without doing business" and became a "professional chicken farmer".
Acting well, how did he suddenly run to raise chickens, was he experiencing life?
01
Zhao Liang grew up in the compound, his father was a soldier who joined the army, worked as a drama actor in the Chengdu Military Region Battle Flag Song and Dance Troupe Theater, and his mother also worked in the cultural troupe.
Because he was a child in the compound, Zhao Liang often had the opportunity to watch them rehearse plays and shoot plays. Sometimes there are children in the play, and the director will directly replace the children in the compound, so he has made a lot of scenes when he was a child. In this strong artistic atmosphere, Zhao Liang gradually cultivated his comedic talents.
Due to his lack of confidence in his appearance, Zhao Liang did not think of becoming an actor, but was influenced by his father and aspired to be a soldier from an early age. However, after graduating from high school, he was admitted to the People's Liberation Army Academy of Arts.
Zhao Liang has a high passion for performance, and during his time as a soldier, he participated in many literary and artistic activities, performing dramas and performing sketches.
In 1992, he debuted on the stage of drama and collaborated with Liu Yugui and others on "Walking Together".
Xu is a stage performance for many years to make his acting skills continue to improve, the drama debut, won the 12th Drama Plum Blossom Award.
The Plum Blossom Award is the highest award in the opera industry, and it is a very high honor to be able to win the Plum Blossom Award. That year, Zhao Liang was 23 years old, and he won such a weighty award at a young age, with good results and a promising future.
In 1994, Zhao Liang appeared on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala again, and cooperated with Wang Fuli and Qi Hui in the sketch "Letter from Brother Mynah". This skit advocates that women should be independent and cultured, which is of great significance. Since then, Zhao Liang has officially entered the show business circle.
Performing for a national audience on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala is an honor and an important way for the audience to know. But this Time the Spring Festival Gala did not bring much fame to Zhao Liang, and what really made him stand out was the broadcast of the TV series "Mountain City Stick Army".
Speaking of which, Zhao Liang's appearance in "Mountain City Stick Army" is purely accidental and quite dramatic.
Zhao Liang accompanied his friends to the "Mountain City Baseball Army" crew to try out the role. When it came to the crew, the director did not notice his friend, but instead looked at Zhao Liang, pointing at him and shouting", "This is Maozi". Zhao Liang did not know, so after some explanation by the director, he knew that Mao Zi was the main actor of this drama.
It was hard to meet a suitable actor, and the director did not want to miss him, so he took out the script and invited him to play Maozi. As soon as it hit it off, Zhao Liang accepted the invitation.
After Zhao Liang received the play, he went around to observe the sticks and understand their movements and some living habits. The preliminary preparation work was not in vain, and he played the kind and somewhat clever Maozi in the play, and played the soul properly.
In 1997, after the broadcast of "Mountain City Stick Army", it stirred up thousands of waves. Zhao Liang's performance of Maozi left a deep impression on the audience and was highly sought after, and since then, strangers will greet him as soon as he goes out.
"Mountain City Stick Army" made Zhao Liang loved by the audience, and also won the favor of professionals, reaching the peak of career development.
At that time, Zhang Guoli was preparing for the filming of "Kangxi Micro Service Private Interview", and other roles in the play had been determined, except for a small eunuch with comedic characteristics.
Zhang Guoning's younger brother Zhang Guoning and Zhao Liang were good friends, and as soon as they heard his brother's appeal, he recommended Zhao Liang to his brother.
After watching "Mountain City Stick Army", Zhang Guoli greatly appreciated Zhao Liang's acting skills and invited Zhao Liang to play Sandezi. Three films were filmed, and the praise was overwhelming, and Sandoko became a classic character.
In fact, "Kangxi Micro Service Private Interview" was filmed in a total of four parts, and in the second part, Zhao Liang was absent from filming because he was a literary and artistic soldier and needed to participate in the army performance, and the crew found an actor who looked similar to Zhao Liang, Wu Jun.
Although the shape is similar, Wu Jun did not deduce the essence of the character of Sandezi, and the Sandezi he portrayed was always inferior to Zhao Liang, so the audience only remembered Zhao Liang.
At first, he bought 500 chickens to raise back, but within a few days, a large number of these chickens fell, and he had no breeding experience, and he was helpless about it.
However, in the roles he later played, no role could be compared with Maozi and Sandezi.
"As an actor, it's been very lucky to have a role that people can remember, and I have two more, which is very lucky."

Zhao Liang, who has a smooth career, has also ushered in his own love.
Like "Mountain City Stick Army", Zhao Liang's acquaintance with his wife Hu Jing is also very dramatic.
The acquaintance of the two was in the blind date bureau, Zhao Liang and Hu Jing accompanied their friends on a blind date, and as a result, the friends did not hold hands successfully, and they looked at each other.
Although he took a fancy to the beautiful Hu Jing at a glance, Zhao Liang did not directly launch an offensive. He slowly became friends with Hu Jing, and only after learning about her as a person in the process of getting along did he show his heart to her.
Zhao Liang spent a lot of money to build roads, divert water, and divert electricity to the mountains in the early stage, and even if it is built, once it encounters natural disasters such as floods and mudslides, these infrastructure will be destroyed.
Hu Jing was also very hesitant at first, but in the process of getting along, he was touched by Zhao Liang's gentleness and sincerity, and only agreed to be with him.
He said to her, "I want you to laugh, I'm sure I'll make you smile every day." ”
It was a nice love story, and it was also a promise to her, and he did it. After 8 years of love, Zhao Liang and Hu Jing cultivated positive results and entered the palace of marriage. The two held a banquet and set up 87 wedding tables to thank relatives and friends.
What was once sweet talk has also become a simple action. Zhao Liang would casually want to eat barbecue because Hu Jing casually mentioned that he would go downstairs for more than an hour to buy her a barbecue. It is a romance with pyrotechnics, simple but touching.
A reporter asked Zhao Liang: Are you rake ears (afraid of your wife). Zhao Liang replied very calmly: This is the virtue of gay men, and this is our honor.
After more than ten years of marriage, the two are still in love as before, but this does not mean that the two do not quarrel, there is no dispute, and the culprit that leads to the quarrel between the two is Zhao Liang's side business - raising chickens.
Star development side business has become commonplace, but most stars open hot pot shops, milk tea shops or do their own tide brand, only Zhao Liang does not take the usual path, maverick choose to raise chickens.
Career development is in full swing, family life is happy, could have enjoyed life easily, but he is tinkering with chickens, which is surprising.

Raising chickens is not Zhao Liang's intention, in the final analysis, his sense of responsibility dominates him.
In 2008, after the Wenchuan earthquake, Zhao Liang and Hu Jing went to the disaster area to help, and by chance, they met villager Huang Changming. Huang Changming originally had his own pig farm, but after the earthquake, the farm was buried and his efforts were wasted.
Not only Huang Changming, but also the surrounding villagers are like this, poor. After learning about these things, Zhao Liang, as a soldier, decided to raise chickens here, hoping to help the villagers get rid of poverty.
In 2011, Zhao Liang transferred 1,000 acres of land in Wenchuan County's Ginkgo Township as a breeding base. But it is not easy to do a good job of breeding, especially if the location is selected in the mountains.
In order to take care of the farm, Zhao Liang needed to climb up and down every day, and over time, he developed synovitis. The doctor advised him not to go up the mountain again, but Zhao Liang, who was bent on the chicken raising business, could not listen to it at all, and he still climbed the mountain on crutches.
His wife couldn't bear to see him so tired, and repeatedly advised him to give up, and his mother also advised him to shoot a good scene and not toss blindly, but he stubbornly persevered. He knew he could simply leave and make money by filming, but it was difficult for the villagers here to get out of poverty.
Zhao Liang, who has never raised chickens, naturally encountered many difficulties. In the early stage of raising chickens, he paid a lot of tuition, and most of the time, in order to support the chicken farm, he invested the filming remuneration into it.
However, Zhao Liang was lucky, and after two years of groping, he met an experienced chicken breeder by chance.
At a startup ceremony, Wang Yao sponsored them eggs, and then the two talked about chicken breeding from eggs, and finally the two reached a cooperation.
With the help of Wang Yao, Zhao Liang became more and more professional in raising chickens, and it was the tao to talk about raising chickens.
"You buy in the supermarket, outside the market, you go to see the chicken, 4 toes, but more than half a year of chicken, that is, 5 toes."
In order to ensure the quality of chickens, the chickens in Zhao Liang's farm are raised for more than 10 months, and they eat corn and other food crops, and do not put feed. In this way, the cost of breeding becomes higher, and the price of chickens naturally rises, 300 yuan per chicken.
After several years of research, Zhao Liang successfully turned over, his farm has a professional breeding team, the number of chickens has changed from the original 500 to 130,000, and the breeding base is also expanding, with several breeding bases such as Bazhong, Luzhou and Wenchuan.
In addition, he once said very proudly in the program that his farm has created corporate standards for raising chickens, the farm's chickens have reached the EU certification, and he is also applying for a national patent.
The phrase "those who have lofty ideals can accomplish things" are vividly displayed in Zhao Liang's body.
With production, naturally there is also a need for sales.
Initially, Zhao Liang packaged chickens and sold them through his connections. However, as the number of chickens increased, his connections were no longer enough to support the market. Therefore, he opened his own restaurant to achieve the integration of production and marketing.
Previously, some netizens posted a video of Zhao Liang personally cooking for customers in the newly opened store, and he had no star shelf at all in the video, which was very approachable.
Zhao Liang's business can achieve such a booming scene today, in the end, it is because of his sense of responsibility and responsibility for his own products. He was also advised to be a star in the catering industry to ensure the quality of the products.
Although Zhao Liang focused his work on the farm in the later period, he has been still taking over the scenes and filming. However, in acting, he is more inclined to go with the flow and settle down with the situation.
"If people can think of me, they're sure they're looking for a role for me."
Admittedly, picking up the script, Zhao Liang is an actor whose acting skills are recognized, put down the script, he is a successful chicken professional.
Whatever his identity, he switched freely.
