In 2003, "Zhu Yongping" Zhang Songwen was called a pygmy ape-man. Zhou Yiwei laughed, and then he was insulted.

If we have to link this midsummer with film and television works, then the representative of online drama must be Hidden Corner.

The fiery town, the thrilling summer vacation and the dual nature of human nature left a deep impression on the audience.

But the biggest surprise brought by this drama to netizens is to make everyone realize the "promising future" of three young people and a group of powerful actors in off the charts.

Needless to say, Wang Jingchun and Qin Hao don't have the super-high flow of small fresh meat, but their strength and coffee place can't be underestimated.

Liu Lin's roles such as "Dehua" and "Big Miss" are also screen classics.

Although, police officer Ye and the actors are not as famous as the above, there is no doubt about their acting skills.

Zhang Songwen, in particular, scored 9.5 points for his acting skills on a website, even higher than the main actors Qin Hao and Wang Jingchun.

But even such a highly respected acting school was insulted in its forties and could not afford to buy a house. Next, let's talk about Zhang Songwen's bumpy road to performing arts.

1976, Zhang Songwen was born in Shaoguan City, Guangdong Province.

Unlike other naughty boys who dig nests and play with mud, Zhang Songwen likes to plant flowers quietly since childhood.

The hobby of growing flowers is still influenced by an old man.

Because his father was a soldier in the army all the year round and his mother was a busy Chinese medicine practitioner, Zhang Songwen was entrusted by his parents to take care of the familiar Rupert since he was a child.

Lupo likes planting flowers, and often takes Zhang Songwen up the mountain to dig azaleas to plant them.

It is also very important that Lupo is the doorman of the cinema in the town, so that Zhang Songwen can watch movies every day. It is precisely because of the influence of this environment that he is full of yearning for the career of an actor.

In middle school, Zhang Songwen showed his talent in singing.

At that time, the city's "Little Lark" choir selected a man and a woman from all schools in the city, and Zhang Songwen was easily selected.

The choir performed everywhere and won many awards. Zhang Songwen is very proud, so is his family and school. At that time, everyone thought that he would be an excellent singer when he grew up.

However, in the third grade, Zhang Songwen was expelled from the choir for being late.

On the day of being fired, Zhang Songwen ate a lot of fried and spicy food. In order to protect his voice, he didn't even look.

Maybe it's the excitement of being fired. Since then, all the songs sung by Zhang Songwen are out of tune, so he refuses to sing in public.

It can be seen that this expulsion has dealt a great blow to the young man.

After leaving the choir, Zhang Songwen's life became simple. She went to class to raise flowers, and she had the mind of an old man at an early age.

After graduating from vocational high school, Zhang Songwen, like her classmates, was pushed into the society.

He worked as a printer, beverage salesman, air conditioner installer, hotel waiter, hotel manager and tour guide. His vision is getting wider and wider, but his heart has been wandering.

Because he knew he wanted to be an actor.

Once the fire of inner fanaticism is lit, it cannot be extinguished. In the year when he was a director, he finally made up his mind to resign and go north to participate in the performance training class of Nortel.

At the age of 25, Zhang Songwen was admitted to the performance department of Nortel and became a classmate with Zhou Yiwei.

During his college years, he did well in acting classes. On one occasion, Fu Dalong returned to his alma mater as a "senior" and watched the performances of Zhang Songwen and his classmates.

After the performance, Fu Dalong sincerely affirmed Zhang Songwen and said that he would become a good actor in the future.

After graduation, Zhang Songwen stayed on as a teacher with excellent results and became a teacher of Nortel Performance Research Institute.

In 2004, at the invitation of China Southern Television, Zhang Songwen offered a crash course for the sitcom Lapras's Weird Husband and starred in Fa Jia, the First Hero.

This play is very popular in Guangdong, and it is still a classic in the hearts of many viewers.

Later, Zhang Songwen successively appeared in outstanding film and television works such as Feng Taihou, Huo Yuanjia, Bing Sheng, Golden Robbery and IP Man's Last Battle in the Northern Wei Dynasty.

Every time he made his debut, Zhang Songwen tried his best to bring one acting award after another to the audience, but his acting career was always tepid.

The obvious change is that in 19, the film "Clouds Made by Rain in the Wind" directed by Lou Ye was released, in which he played the role of "Director of Demolition Office" Tang.

In this film, there are uncrowned kings like Qin Hao, and young talents like Sandra, Jing Bo Ran and Michelle Chen, but the audience who saw this film was still shocked by Zhang Songwen's performance.

Writer Shi Hang watched the premiere and was completely conquered by Zhang Songwen's acting skills. He said that he looked up the actor's name while watching it.

Now, in Hidden Corner, Zhang Songwen is completely out of his acting skills. Zhang Songwen can afford the word "treasure actor" both for his peers in the industry and for the audience outside the circle.

Many netizens said that Zhang Songwen's "out of the circle" came too late, but only he knew that it was too difficult to wait for this day.

Unlike today's situation, when Zhang Songwen graduated, the film and television industry was an era in which strength represented everything.

At that time, actors like Chen, Wang and Chen were serious industry benchmarks. The "benchmark" here refers not only to strength, but also to fame and commercial value.

At that time, Zhang Songwen was in a hurry to meet all kinds of cast members, and being rejected became a common occurrence. It was the golden age of middle-aged actors, and there was often such a hard reason: he was too young, not old enough and didn't have the right role.

In the variety "Acting School", Zhang Songwen shared his early running experience with young actors.

He smiled and said that he was a veritable "running group king". In the past 20 years, there were about 100 interviews per year on average, and there were almost 2000 interviews in 20 years, but the failure rate was as high as 95%.

In this sad experience, Zhang Songwen paid attention to such a thing.

In 2003, he met 360 actors, mostly Zhou Yiwei.

Once they went to the hotel to meet the director for an audition. When they knocked at the door, they happened to meet the deputy director chatting with four or five investors.

When Zhang Songwen saw this scene, he thought of waiting outside first. As a result, the assistant director recruited him and Zhou Yiwei.

After entering the room, the deputy director pointed directly at the two and said to the investor, "Look at some bosses. What kind of person can't be an actor I will take these two as metaphors. "

Let Zhang Songwen and Zhou Yiwei stand still. The assistant director is tall and Zhang Songwen is short, so the photos look a little depressing.

The assistant director pointed to Zhang Songwen and investor Kan Kan and said, You can't be an actor like him!

Investor: Why not?

Deputy Director: Look, this one looks like a Cantonese. (Turning to Zhang Songwen) Really?

Zhang Song Wen Dian nodded.

Deputy Director: You see, he looked like a dwarf at first, especially short; The second one, you see, his brain is like an ape. Such people can't be actors.

At the moment, Zhang Songwen's heart is mixed, his good brother Zhou Yiwei is laughing, and the next second he is insulted.

The assistant director pointed to Zhou Yiwei and said, This tall man can't do it. Look at his mouth like a sausage. This sausage mouth.

Zhang Songwen and Zhou Yiwei stood there, being pointed at by vice directors and investors.

After evaluating the last few bosses, the deputy director sent Zhang Songwen and Zhou Yiwei back directly. When they left, two young men in their twenties politely said thank you to the teacher and asked if they still needed photos.

At this time, the deputy director of the sentence "why stay? You can't leave any photos for the actors "quickly froze the passion of Zhang Songwen and Zhou Yiwei.

Two people turned to go out and got into the elevator, but they all stood silently and forgot to press the floor.

When talking about this matter, Zhang Songwen always smiled, but he still said, "I sometimes feel uncomfortable when I think about it late at night."

In an interview, Zhang Songwen mentioned this embarrassing situation. In order to play a role, the pay has dropped again. Other actors want 1 10,000, and he only wants 9000.

Would you like to? Of course not, but there is no other way but to compromise. He wants to act and earn money.

At the age of 44, he never really owned his own house. He admitted that he once earned 20,000-30,000 yuan a year. He is afraid of receiving a phone call from the landlord, and he is worried about urging rent or raising rent.

In the poorest years, he wondered every day whether he would be eliminated by this industry, and he had reached the most serious point of self-doubt.

Fortunately, those things have become a thing of the past, and with his love for acting, he finally waited for the day to shine.

As Zhang Songwen said, only love can make the years long.
