When it comes to Yangba, I don't know if everyone has the same impression as the small drama: the actors who appear in the Yangba opera are almost all performance artists of the older generation. But recently, one of Yangba's hit dramas, "Dapudong", has broken the stereotype of small dramas.
"Dapudong", as the name suggests, tells the story of Shanghai's financial reform and opening up, and in the context of this era, the drama shows us the tests of love, career, friendship and so on that several young people have endured.
Although it is a reform drama, from the characters in the play, we can get a lot of inspiration about career and life. Among them, the small play was stunned by an actor - Zhang Ningjiang.
Zhang Ningjiang plays Wu Yibai in the play, a righteous and responsible journalist. After graduation, he worked in the financial newspaper, and regarded reporting the truth for the people as the first priority.
At first, Wu Yibai was thick and cute, a poor and white graduate; he was full of enthusiasm when he first entered the workplace, and finally succeeded with his outstanding business ability.
Emotionally, the brotherhood of Wu Yibai and Zhao Haiying, Xie Tianyang, Zhang Xiang and other four people has experienced trust and betrayal; he and Qian Qingqing have also touched many viewers from knowing each other, falling in love to getting married.
The character of Wu Yibai is very realistic, but the difficulty is that the state of the performing characters at different stages, and in the face of different people or things, the state he presents will be different. This requires his emotional layers to be richer, rather than a unified performance. This kind of emotional grasp of subtleties is difficult for non-experienced actors to do.
In the play, we can see Wu Yibai when he was a student, the excitement when he saw the idol's speech, and the vision and confidence of the career he wanted to pursue in the future.
In the face of the girl he likes, he transforms into a big boy who is pure and shy.
After learning of his brother's betrayal, the anger and the helplessness that gradually subsided were also particularly moving.
Through body language and micro-expressions, Zhang Ningjiang performed the unique tenacity and fearlessness of young people.
The success of the role is naturally inseparable from the efforts of the actors, in order to better shape the identity of Wu Yibai's "poetic reporter", Zhang Ningjiang flipped through a large number of poetry collections in the early stage of shooting, and during the shooting, he often read the poems aloud in order to find the feeling of "poet".
In this way, he found his own soul for Wu Yibai, so Wu Yibai not only existed in the play, he also came alive in the eyes of the audience.
For the script, for the role, Zhang Ningjiang is serious, in the process of filming, he repeatedly studied the script, and discussed his ideas for the role with the director and actors, as far as possible to make Wu Yibai more three-dimensional and full.
It is worth mentioning that the brotherhood of Zhang Ningjiang and the three actors in the play also extends to the outside of the play, and the four people are also very good buddies in real life, and they still introduce each other to each other when they play this play.
Zhang Ningjiang graduated from the Shanghai Theater Academy and officially entered the show business circle in 2006 when he starred in "A Love affair".
In the entertainment circle where fresh meat is piled up, Zhang Ningjiang's tough appearance makes people shine, so he has played many tough guy roles, so that when he is mentioned, many people will automatically have a righteous face in their minds.
He is the brave and aggressive scar political commissar Zhang Liujin in "The Indelible Fan Number"; the single-line lecture and heavy feelings of the hot-blooded slag in "Qinghe Men's High"; and the fast-growing criminal police officer Lin Zhihua in "Criminal Police Captain".
In the period drama "Gone with the Wind", he is an indomitable tiger who is willing to die to defend his family and defend the country.
In "Hot-Blooded Soldier", he transformed into a soldier and put on a military uniform to experience the life of the army.
In addition, he has also starred in "Tough Guy Series" dramas such as "Annihilation Ten Strikes", "Battle Soul", "Moscow Action" and so on, and has won the recognition of industry insiders with his superb acting skills and dedicated and serious attitude, and has also become a powerful faction in the eyes of the audience.
The reason why Zhang Ningjiang chose to shoot military dramas is because he has always had a "military dream" in his heart, with love and awe for soldiers, 14 years, he chose to participate in "Star Soldier Registration", a star-themed military reality show.
He spent three months in the barracks, and in an interview he said, "It's because of these experiences that you feel like you've really been a soldier." Even many people who have been soldiers will ask me if I have been a soldier when they see me. ”
At the end of the competition, Zhang Ningjiang won the championship and also served as the image spokesperson for the national recruitment for 14 years.
Of course, in addition to these "experience life" experiences, he can continue to make new achievements and perform good roles all the way, or because of Zhang Ningjiang's own "do it and go all out" personality and serious and down-to-earth attitude.
Zhang Ningjiang's acting is the most important experience for the audience. When he participated in the movie "If There Were No You", in order to interpret the feeling of limping in the play, he deliberately lived and trained with disabled athletes, carrying more than 10 pounds of sandbags on one leg every day, and insisted on it for a whole month.

Obviously, for this kind of role, Zhang Ningjiang has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people and handy. But as an excellent actor, Zhang Ningjiang strives to bring the audience a more novel experience, constantly looking for more possibilities as an actor.
For example, wu Yibai, a poetic journalist played in this drama; Mo Zilin, who has a straightforward and unruly personality in "The Guardian"; Liu Tianyu, an instructor in "Partial Like You"; Kwong Qiang, the "scumbag" of "Hurry That Year"... Zhang Ningjiang is not limited to the theme of military service, constantly breaking the audience's cognition and making more attempts.
Zhang Ningjiang graduated from the department of directing and became an actor by chance, but he has always wanted to return to the drama stage and enjoy drama creation. In 2018, as a director and producer, he boldly chose ordinary people in his hometown pinghu who loved drama to perform "La Traviata" together.
9 consecutive games, the field is full, behind this report card, is Zhang Ningjiang's challenge and breakthrough to himself.
However, taking off the actor's coat, Zhang Ningjiang in life is also a hot-blooded boy. Looking at Zhang Ningjiang's Weibo, you can find that sports is his biggest hobby.
He can not only run at a pace of 8.5 kilometers per hour on the treadmill, but also a regular marathoner, and his years of exercise habits have given him a tough physique and shaped his masculine temperament.
Zhang Ningjiang once said that if you don't become an actor, you may consider being an extreme athlete. Judging by his social platforms, he does have an almost fanatical love for sports.

In addition to liking fitness, boxing, and practicing a strong muscle, Zhang Ningjiang's favorite is undoubtedly basketball.
Because basketball is related to Jay Chou, he also has a good relationship with NBA star Jeremy Lin.
Zhang Ningjiang also participated in many basketball tournaments, such as "2017 Haoyou Showdown", "2017 Super Penguin Celebrity Game", "2018 Super Penguin League Three-on-Three Competition" and so on.
He was also selected as a j-team team in the variety show "This is a Slam Dunk".

Last year, Zhang Ningjiang participated in the Supernova National Games, served as the captain of the East China Division, and led the team to win the annual championship, and also won a gold and silver in a single event.
Writing up to now, what feels most deeply about Zhang Ningjiang is his self-discipline, and it is this self-discipline that Zhang Ningjiang's personal charm continues from the play to the outside of the play, so that the audience all fall in love with this real tough guy.
Not only that, Zhang Ningjiang also has a delicate contrasting side, he has a dog, named Xiao Coconut, who will comb the dog's hair, braid and wear clothes, exuding iron man tenderness.
He also played the piano and guitar.
Zhang Ningjiang grew up in a family environment full of artistic atmosphere, practicing piano from an early age, such a skill, but also added a touch of calmness and literature to his temperament
Zhang Ningjiang said: "I am sometimes a very funny person, like sports, quite noisy, but in the blink of an eye can also sit quietly and play the piano." There are some contrasts that they (fans) could not have imagined. ”
It is precisely because of this that people who do not understand him may be confused by the appearance of a tough guy at first, but after understanding, they find that Zhang Ningjiang is a boy with an ab face.
As an actor, Zhang Ningjiang not only has solid and superb acting skills, but also has a large number of high-quality works that can support his reputation, which is the foundation of the commercial value of a high-quality actor. In the future, he will also have several dramas to be broadcast, such as "Zhangku Avenue", "Pinghu Past", "Guardian", etc., and look forward to his wonderful performance in it.
