What do you think of Zhang zhen?

This month, Embroidered Spring Knife Xiuluo Field was released, and Zhang zhen continued to play Shen Lian.

It has been three years since the first release of Embroidered Spring Knife. As for 15, it was 26 years ago that she debuted for a brighter summer day. The purity and calmness in Zhang zhen's eyes, from vaguely hidden behind the agitation, to gradually revealed, and then to today's precipitation, is an obvious and guaranteed temperament.

Chen Kaige once said: "As far as temperament is concerned, Zhang zhen is actually a delicate actor, not a tough guy. Before I knew him, I had seen Guling Street, and that poster was a close-up of Zhang zhen. Just a pair of eyes, and then look at you, wild and full of confusion. "

Zhang zhen has a handsome face, commonly known as "screen face". Like a thin cheek chopped off by a knife and axe, it has sharp edges and sharp eyes, and its temperament is unique in the whole Chinese film industry. Someone described him like this: "When he was young, he was a young man with a clear and upright attitude. After 30 years old, the whole portrait has been polished. This play is like a sword in the middle of the night, sharp and cold, gloomy and hot. "

Today, he seems to be a junior four in his youth, full of restless factors, undercurrents surging under the calm and indifferent surface, and some dangers full of hormones. In fact, in his 40 s, he has already developed a gentle temperament, and his temperament has become more and more calm in a series of exercises such as learning chess, martial arts and painting.

He is a pure teenager and a pure actor.

Zhang zhen was born in Taibei, and his father Zhang Guozhu is also a famous actor. /kloc-When he was 0/5 years old, his father's friend Yang Dechang was planning to shoot Brighter Summer. He lacked a boy to play the fourth grade, so his father took him to an audition in the summer vacation. At that time, he had no intention of becoming a star. He only knows one thing about how to make this film well: forget about Zhang zhen and think of himself as a fourth-grade student.

In fact, this film has also become a turning point in Zhang zhen's character. Before making this film, he was a lively adolescent, but after shooting the scene that killed Xiaoming, he got into the play too deeply and felt that Xiaoming was really killed by himself, so he was sad for a long time.

Later, he said, "Because of playing in the fourth grade, I will become silent, depressed and think too much."

The film critic "Lord Dujima" commented on the unpretentious performance of young Zhang zhen in this film: "In other young actors, I have never found violence hidden under the innocent and childish temperament."

This is a pure thing that only belongs to Zhang zhen. Others can't take it away, and they can't learn it.

In 2006, Zhang zhen participated in Tian Zhuangzhuang's biopic Wu Qingyuan, playing a generation of Go masters. If More Brilliant Summer is the first milestone of Zhang zhen's acting career, then Wu Qingyuan can be regarded as his second important symbol with turning point.

At that time, in order to perform well, I studied the Autobiography of the Master, practiced Japanese and Go hard, approached the spiritual world a little bit, and even had a face-to-face conversation with Wu himself. In addition, before shooting every day, Zhang zhen would sit still for two hours, holding her breath, waiting for the game without distractions, and trying to restore Wu Qingyuan's true spirit as much as possible. These things can't be imagined, and they can only rely on the actors themselves.

Later, a reporter asked Zhang zhen: "I heard that you cried after filming in Wu Qingyuan?"

Zhang zhen replied, "Yes, yes. The role of Wu Qingyuan is a role that I have devoted a long time to since I was a filmmaker. Why are you crying? Because the play is over, I know that I am leaving this role, and I am very sad. "

This kind of hard work for shooting has been done more than once.

When filming "A Generation of Masters", in order to play the role at first sight, Zhang Zhenshi worked hard for three years from Wang Shiquan, a master of octupole boxing. He is cruel to himself. Even when Master is away, he will lock himself in the practice room and practice boxing for six hours every day. At the end of practice, he has fallen in love with this way of decompression. He said, "Practicing boxing makes me quiet. I used to like to go out drinking and singing with my friends when I was free. Now I'd rather practice boxing and draw. "

There is a joke about Zhang zhen on the Internet:

Shooting "Red Cliff", in order to play Sun Quan, he is familiar with "Three Kingdoms"; Shooting "The Beginning of Great Rejuvenation", he memorized the history of the Republic of China; Shooting "Looking for People in the Deep Sea" and getting a PADI diving license; Shooting "Wu Qingyuan", his Go has been able to suppress the three stages of his career; "Grandmaster" finished, and he won the national octupole boxing championship; After Nie Yinniang the Assassin was finished, he learned close-quarters fencing ... Humans can't stop Zhang zhen.

But the paragraph is a paragraph after all, and he himself came out to blame: "Reading the Three Kingdoms is a basic course, but I didn't read it so well. Sometimes chatting will eventually return to the history of movies. The history of the Republic of China is really gone, and it is not so necessary. "

Regarding the "professional three-stage suppression", he responded: "I am actually very poor at Go, and my contact time is very short, about half a year, so I will not be very good at it. I learned a little, but it's really not so powerful that even a little girl can't win. "

Although exaggerated, Zhang zhen's efforts to polish his role are still impressive. In the interview, he also admitted his views on efforts: "It is a kind of training. In an industrial country, every actor must have some basic foundations. If he can't learn, he will never learn. "

If you don't learn, you'll never learn. It seems that no matter how difficult things are in Zhang zhen, you can explain them clearly in the simplest language and accept them frankly.

Wong Kar-wai once said of Zhang zhen: "A thousand dollars is hard to buy a voice, and this is the true meaning of a knife. Zhang is a good knife, so let's hide it first. " Zhang zhen forwarded this Weibo and respectfully replied, "You are my scabbard. I can't be wrong with you. "

After so many years, it seems that Zhang zhen is still the evil and clever Xiao Zhang when he filmed Spring Break, or the boy who didn't change his mind.

Zhang zhen is a very interesting contradiction. For him, more than 20 years of acting career is a kind of practice, a kind of practice of mind and will. He became more and more calm. He can even stay at home with his children without taking a job for half a year. This practice makes him more pure, both as an actor and as a man.

But in his bones, it seems that he will always play the juvenile role when he first debuted, such as Xiao Si and Xiao Zhang. His calm and indifferent appearance can't hide the surging youth. As the saying goes, "Men are teenagers until they die." Zhang zhen perfectly balanced masculinity and boyish temperament and formed his own unique temperament.

When a reporter interviewed him, he asked what Zhang zhen would be like if he hadn't starred in Brighter Summer when he was 15 years old. He seems to be used to being asked this question, calmly and even eagerly replied, "I didn't think about it. But probably with my personality, I should be able to do a very simple and normal job. "

At the end of the first part of Embroidered Spring Knife, Zhang zhen plays Shen Lian and wage a revenge war with Zhao Jingzhong. After the victory, Shen Lian sat quietly with a calm expression. This scene is very similar to the metaphor of Zhang zhen's own life. Love, fight, and life ends in a pure and stable situation.
