On August 21, 22, his film The Eight Hundred was released. When the box office of the film reached 945 million on the 24th, Zhang Yi also ushered in a small peak of his life-his personal cumulative box office exceeded 1 billion, and he became a Chinese actor to relay Jason Wu, Bo Huang, Du Jiang and Shen Teng.

He said, "(I) am a little far away from the stars, so I'd better be an actor in a down-to-earth way". 1

On February 17th, 1978, Zhang Yi was born in Harbin, Heilongjiang Province, whose original name was Zhang Yi. His mother expected him to be a persevering person.

However, Zhang Yi Jr. happened to be a bad person. He fed rabbits with green onions, peed on chickens' heads, and chopped ants with an axe ...

As a music teacher's father, he took pains to let Zhang Yi learn erhu, piano and other musical instruments, but in the end all failed.

Except that he doesn't like them, Zhang Yi Jr.' s mind is devoted to broadcasting. When he was in elementary school, at 6: 3 every morning, he would crouch in front of the old-fashioned radio on time, waiting for the announcer to read "News and Newspaper Summary" clearly and clearly. In his mind, announcer is the most sacred profession in the world, and there is no one.

In the second grade of junior high school, the Chinese teacher asked the students to read the text. After Zhang Yi read it in his self-taught "broadcasting cavity", the teacher smiled and said to him, "You can take the Beijing Broadcasting Institute (now China Communication University) in the future." The deskmate also excitedly said to him: "You will definitely be admitted in the future, and you are the future Luo Jing!"

So, in the second year of high school, Zhang Yi took the broadcasting professional exam of Beijing Broadcasting Institute and got the first place, but he was not qualified to take the college entrance examination, so he had no choice but to give up.

In the second year, he still passed the professional course exam, and the culture course was good, but fate played a joke on him. One of the students in the same session enjoyed the bonus policy, and he missed the Broadcasting Institute again.

When he first learned the news, he pretended to be indifferent to comfort his parents: "It's no big deal." When there was no one at home, he cried alone for five minutes. "I won't take the exam anymore, it's disgusting."

After many years, it drifted north. Zhang Yi rode a bicycle for more than two hours to Beijing Broadcasting Institute (now China Communication University), went to the toilet there, and when he came out, he shouted, "Guangyuan, that's all, I don't want you!" 2

Because only one school was filled in for the college entrance examination, Zhang Yi received the "certificate of unemployed youth" from the aunt of the neighborhood committee.

Just when Zhang Yi was confused, Harbin Repertory Theatre began to recruit students. Zhang Yi, an unemployed young man who knew nothing about performance, was persuaded by his family to go.

At first, Zhang Yi had no interest in acting and didn't attend classes well. It was not until the end of 1996, after watching the plays "One Man on the Sky" and "The Geologist", that he burst into tears, and then he realized the charm of the performance and fell in love with it.

The teacher of the Repertory Theatre said to him, "Son, if you really like acting, go to Beijing."

In 1997, Zhang Yi came to Beijing with the encouragement of the drama troupe teacher, but everything was not as smooth as expected.

He first applied to the Art College of the People's Liberation Army, because he was stuck in the physical examination because of malnutrition and spinal curvature. Later, he went to the Central Academy of Drama, and he passed the exam all the way. He stood in the same examination room with Christina, Chen Hao, Wu Yue and others for an interview, but he slammed the door because he misunderstood his appearance.

During that time, Zhang Yi used to lie prone on the overpass in Beijing, looking at the cars coming and going, thinking, "Beijing is so big, why is there no room for me?"

In order to save money, Zhang Yi goes out early and comes back late every day, deliberately avoiding the meals in the guest house. In the most difficult time, he lived on a bag of instant noodles for three days. Later, the aunt of the hostel brought him jiaozi. He said bravely that he was not hungry. The aunt replied, "I just asked you to help me taste the salty!"

Fortunately, at this time, he was introduced by a friend, and he was admitted to the Comrades Drama Troupe and became a literary and art soldier. 3

Zhang Yi's appearance is nothing special, with small eyes, single eyelids and thin figure.

At that time, there were 11 boys in drama class one, and the students voted for the ugliest three boys. Zhang Yi ranked third, nicknamed "donkey face".

Even when the teacher mentioned him, he couldn't help shaking his head: "The figure is a bit like noodles. It's not suitable for being an actor when you stand up three times."

Zhang Yi is not reconciled, and her looks are not enough, so she tries to make up. He worked as a reporter and a host in a drama troupe, helped move things, and did all kinds of chores, and finally won a small role with only one line.

Later, he went to various film crews to submit resumes. After running for five years, he found nothing.

He once went to a film crew for an interview and begged the assistant director to leave a photo of himself, but the other party said impatiently, "You are so unattractive, I'd better not stay."

When rehearsing a drama in a drama troupe, the director also said to him, "Zhang Yi, you are dead if you act."

Zhang Yi's writing style is very good, and the leaders of the drama troupe like to let him write copies and take minutes of meetings, focusing on cultivating him as a document. But he never gave up his dream of becoming an actor.

In the winter of 24, Zhang Yi received an invitation from Kang Honglei, the director of Migrant Workers, because he ran the crew to take photos all the year round. After receiving the news, his mood could not be calm for a long time. "I feel that it will be fine when I hang up the phone."

In 25, Zhang Yi played Changshun, a little handyman who was grinning and hunched beside Chen Jianbin in the TV series Qiao Family Courtyard.

During the filming of "Qiao Family Courtyard", director Hu Mei stroked Zhang Yi's head and fondly asked him, "How old are you this year?" Zhang Yi replied that he was 27, and Hu Mei said, "If an actor is not out at the age of 28, he can basically wash and sleep."

Hearing this, Zhang Yi was very touched. He knew that he would seize every opportunity to fight for it.

In 26, the TV series "Soldiers Assault" started shooting. Zhang Yi wrote a 3,-word letter "My Petition" to director Kang Honglei, expressing his strong desire to appear in this play. In the end, the director was moved by him, and Zhang Yi also successfully played the role of monitor Shi Jin.

A Soldier Assault not only made Wang Baoqiang famous, but also made the actor Zhang Yi well known. Zhang Yi's acting career finally ushered in the spring.

, in many works such as My Head and My Regiment, The Line of Life and Death, snow in the wind, beginning of the great revival, The New Door-to-door Son-in-law and so on, Zhang Yi endowed the characters with their proper personalities and labels without leaving any trace, and became the best spokesman for the tough guy who is close to the people and the new good man in the hearts of the audience.

Since then, Zhang Yi's masterpieces have continued, and many high-profile movies and TV dramas have come out every year.

In Beijing Love Story, he is Shi Xiaomeng, a poor rural boy who stayed in Beijing to work hard after graduating from college. In "Wenzhou Family", he is a Zhou Mai dog who is eager to go abroad to make money but is forced to stay in Wenzhou to sell shoes. In "The Muppet Girl Also Has Spring", he is a cartoon male phoenix tree; In "The Story of Hot Mom", he is an ingot between his wife and mother.

In 215, the anti-trafficking film Dear directed by the famous director Chen Kexin was released nationwide, in which Zhang Yi played the role of Han Dezhong, a wealthy businessman who lost his son, and won the Best Supporting Actor Award in the 3th Chinese Film Golden Rooster Award.

In 215, just 1 years after what Hu Mei said, 37-year-old Zhang Yi stood on the podium and said 17 "thank you" in succession.

He laughed at himself: "I have been an artist for 19 years. I am not young or old. I can't win the lifetime achievement award or the best newcomer award. This age is quite embarrassing."

After winning the Golden Rooster Award, Zhang Yi didn't swell, either in the crew or on his way to the crew. He never picked the leading role or supporting role as long as the script was good.

Low-key, he has always appeared in various excellent works with high profile: Golden Age, If a woman is not strong, Heaven forbid, mountains may depart, Embroidered Spring Knife, Shura Battlefield, Murderer also, I am not Pan Jinlian ...

In 217, Zhang Yi partnered with Yin Tao in the TV series.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Yi won the audience's favorite actor award in the 29th China TV Golden Eagle Award and the best actor award in the 23rd Shanghai TV Festival Magnolia Award for her role as Chen Jianghe in "Chicken Feathers Fly to the Sky".

Nowadays, the entertainment industry is very popular. Someone asked Zhang Yi what he thought of this phenomenon. He said, "People should first pursue visual stimulation, and then spiritual pleasure, whether watching TV dramas, reality shows or movies. Some people just want to stay in visual stimulation, while others just want to pursue spiritual pleasure. Radish and cabbage have their own love. We can't think that someone is wrong just because they just want to pursue visual stimulation. Are we right? "

Zhang Yi, who pursues spiritual pleasure, is also constantly bringing visual stimulation to the audience. This year, in addition to the movie The Eight Hundred and the online drama Rebirth, he also has many films to be shown, such as The Sacrifice's On the Cliff, My People My Homeland and so on.

Rebirth Qin Chi

Someone asked Zhang Yi what he wanted others to say about himself, and he said with trepidation, "Even an actor who is not bad is a qualified actor."
