At the end of 2121, the TV series "Tai Tai" became an instant hit, with a total broadcast volume of 211 million, a score of 8.4 for Douban, and endless praise from netizens.
The plot of grounding gas and the arrangement of costume props are in place. It can be seen that the drama "Dressing Taiwan" is a big explosion at the end of this year because of the careful actors and the poor skills of writers and directors.
The success of a drama is not attributed to one person. There are many people behind the scenes who have worked hard for it. So, why can the drama "Putting on Taiwan" become the highest rating in the year?
It is unavoidable that Zhang Jiayi, the "second uncle" of Shaanxi Province, has made a contribution here.
"A successful flower, people are only amazed at her current brilliance. However, at the beginning, her buds were soaked with tears of struggle and spilled with blood and rain of sacrifice."
People only know Zhang Jiayi's screen glory, but they don't know his hardships.
1, Zhang Xiaotong, who wants to be a wrestler
Zhang Jiayi was born in the 1971s and grew up in a big courtyard in Xi 'an, Shaanxi Province. He studied as a child and was plain-looking, and no one thought that he would touch the screen in the future.
My hometown is Shidi Street, Hanbin District, Ankang City. Although I went to school in Xi 'an as a child, I almost came back in winter and summer vacations. I grew up there since I was a child, and a healthy environment, including diet and living habits, was developed here.
He was the fifth child in the family, and his name was Zhang Xiaotong at that time. My parents really always wanted a daughter, and Zhang Jiayi finally got a sister.
Six brothers and sisters live with their parents in a house of more than 71 square meters. In Zhang Jiayi's words, "Every day is a life of Wu Long." Going out to buy steamed bread for dinner is 21 starts.
Zhang Jiayi was very naughty when he was a child. As he grew older, he became more and more fond of wrestling and boxing. Zhang Jiayi once wanted to learn boxing, but his mother didn't allow him to sign up for it, so he learned wrestling without a hukou.
among the brothers and sisters, Zhang Jiayi is definitely the one who has no literary talent. It happened that God made him go this way by mistake.
Zhang Jiayi has an uncle who works in Xi 'an Film Studio. When I was in Grade Two of Xi 'an No.86 Middle School, Zhang Jiayi's uncle saw an advertisement for admission to the Film Academy in Xi 'an Evening News. When he went home, he encouraged Zhang Jiayi to try it: "Go and play, it's especially fun."
Anyway, I didn't do very well in math and physics, so Zhang Jiayi really went. My aunt helped him find a teacher. He learned a simple song "Coming Back from Shooting", prepared a poem recitation, and added a set of wrestling moves, and went to the examination room.
Because he is very relaxed, he still laughs when others are performing. What the teacher takes a fancy to is his courage to run wild, and he looks dignified and strong. He has been practicing wrestling in the sports school in high school, which is also helpful for the physical interview. After a toss-up, he was given a comedy talent and was really accepted.
At that time, at the age of 17, Zhang Jiayi didn't want to be an actor, let alone a comedian. His idea at that time was to become a professional wrestler.
Zhang Jiayi was not a good student in the eyes of his teacher when he was in middle school. He plays chess, makes slingshots, plays with cigarette cases, and doesn't attend classes. He likes to stare at his deskmate's arm, but whenever his deskmate crosses the 38th parallel, he sticks a pen at him.
who would have thought that he would suddenly become a "future star"? In 1987, Zhang Jiayi No.1 received two admission notices: Beiying and Shangxi, which is the pride of Xi 'an No.86 Middle School.
With the letter of admission, Zhang Jiayi left home for the first time and came to Beijing. He felt that his future was bright.
Zhang Jiayi didn't think so much before he began to explore Beijing. He likes Beijing in summer. He is more comfortable with bare arms than Xi 'an and won't get red in the sun.
Although Zhang Jiayi is the youngest in the class of Grade 87 North Film, he was not missing among those who fought and caused trouble at school that year.
The three most famous actors in this class, Zhang Jiayi, Liu Yijun and ZhangZijian, all changed their names. Moreover, there is a male classmate with a story in the class, that is, Yuqi Zhang's ex-husband Wang Quanan later.
Although Zhang Jiayi is very skinny, she is particularly shy when facing many people, especially when she sees a female classmate, and her face is red and her neck is thick, so she can't act it out directly.
in the first semester, he never dared to cooperate with his female classmates. The teacher was very angry and deliberately asked him to hold a female classmate on stage to perform a passionate play. He couldn't stop without shouting. As a result, Zhang Jiayi stopped when he put it on the bed. The teacher was helpless and glared at him.
It was windy in Beijing that day, and Zhang Jiayi was a little discouraged: "If only acting with girls could be as simple as wrestling!"
In the first few days of school, the teacher came to find out, but he happened to go to Zhang Jiayi as a sparring partner. Zhang Jiayi pretended that he couldn't wrestle, and then he went up for a few rounds and fell over the teacher. Isn't this Lengwa wood in Shaanxi?
within a few months of the start of school, some of the students have already got in touch with good roles, and they have all gone out to film, and all have good incomes. But Zhang Jiayi didn't move, because this year, didn't overcome his shy psychology.
However, Zhang Jiayi was not idle at school. Although he didn't put his mind on filming, he had his own way to make money.
At that time, the domestic film and television industry and advertising industry had just started, and there was a great market demand. Zhang Jiayi and six people in the same dormitory were thinking about making advertisements.
The school has special shooting equipment, some are copywriters, some are lighting engineers, some are models, and some are handymen, so they received several good advertisements.
after a year, several people ate and drank flowers, and after a calculation, alas, there were still five or six hundred dollars left. In the late 1981s, five or six hundred dollars was definitely a huge sum of money!
A few people were a little feverish. After eating and drinking, the last one bought a "very fashionable" suit. Six people put their arms around their shoulders and stood in the classroom. Before waiting for the teacher, they were scolded by the teacher: "What are you guys doing?" Rebellion? " A few people flew off again.
Just before graduation, Zhang Jiayi made his first play, which was a children's play and played the leading role.
In this way, Zhang Jiayi didn't do anything until his junior year, and only played a small role, which was the first play in his life.
17-year-old Zhang Jiayi was admitted to the Beijing Film Academy as a comedian, and the teacher hoped that he could become the next Ge You. But he doesn't have Ge Youchang's characteristics. The teacher has long asserted that he can only play a supporting role in his life. Because he is neither particularly good nor particularly ugly.
shortly after graduation, he asked his family to entrust him with a letter of recommendation to the Beijing Opera Troupe. His father brought him to Beijing specially and led him to an interview. "After going in, the man's attitude towards my father made me unbearable, arrogant and impatient. My father gave him a smile. I didn't finish talking at that time, and I took my father out. "
2. Xi 'an Film Studio has been unknown for 9 years.
Zhang Jiayi, who is 21 years old, is too stubborn to realize what bad luck he will encounter when he returns to Xi 'an Film Studio.
In those years, college students had to exercise at the grass-roots level after being assigned jobs. I have no choice but to quit my job and go to the Youth League Committee for a year. Zhang Jiayi made tea, read newspapers and read books during the day, rented videos at night, looked over and over with the remote control, and looked at three video rental shops near his home. The more he looked, the more he wanted to be a great actor. However, there is still no chance.
when I was 25 years old, an elder sister I knew, who was kind, said that it would be lucky to change his name, so I helped him change three names. He originally chose another one, but the elder sister said that you still want this one. Since then, Zhang Xiaotong has changed its name to Zhang Jiayi.
Unexpectedly, it's really useful to change the name. Liu Huining, the director Zhang Jiayi met in Xiying, really remembered him. In 1995, Liu Huining took Zhang Jiayi to the TV series "The Northern People". Many people may not have heard of this drama, but most of the elderly people in Xi 'an know it.
Zhang Jiayi played a greedy role, which was bad and charming. Unfortunately, it didn't catch fire. Even he said, "I think if I debut at the age of 21, they should like me at the age of 21. I was also very fresh in the past, and I just wandered away at that time. "
Two years later, Liu Huining filmed The Old House and asked for Zhang Jiayi. He works hard. He said, filming is just like wrestling. Just go straight to the concrete floor.
At that time, he suffered from severe ankylosing spondylitis. Since the age of 22, he has had an injection every half month.
But The Old House still didn't make him angry!
Every time his back hurts, Zhang Jiayi feels unwilling. People in the circle always say that if you want to act, you have to go to Beijing.
at the age of 3 and 31, Zhang Jiayi decided to "drift north".
During his nine years in the West Film Factory, although he made some plays, he was still tepid, and changing his name didn't play much role.
at the age of 31, Zhang Jiayi made an amazing decision: "drifting north".
in 2111, Zhang Jiayi, who was 31 years old, decided to leave Xi' an and go to Beijing to travel. When he first arrived in Beijing, Zhang Jiayi, like many northern drifters, had to solve the accommodation problem first. At that time, Zhang Jiayi had 21,111 yuan in his hand, so he wanted to buy a house to stay.
I've traveled all over the streets, and there happens to be a "zero down payment" property in the suburbs of Beijing. As long as I take 21,111 yuan as the deposit first, I'll go to live first, and the rest can be paid in installments.
As soon as Zhang Jiayi figured it out, it was quite appropriate. He paid 21,111 yuan neatly and waited for a new house.
As a result, 21,111 yuan was paid, but the house was delayed. The developer began to say that you had to pay all kinds of fees "this and that" before you could move in.
Zhang Jiayi was dumbfounded. At first glance, it would cost tens of thousands! I wanted to discuss the refund, but the developer said no!
In desperation, Zhang Jiayi had to bite the bullet and contact his former friends, former classmates and ask them to borrow money one by one.
fortunately, many of his classmates are already "wrist children", so he borrowed the rest of the down payment.
In the days of drifting north, when Zhang Jiayi was poorest, he had no money to eat, so he had to starve in the basement. When he was really hungry, he ate a big cake and rolled green onions. Two days later, the strong man in the northwest still couldn't hold on, so he went to borrow 511 yuan from his friend.
The interior of the bedroom in Xi 'an, Zhang Jiayi doesn't look "star" at all. On the contrary, it is a little cramped. Now Zhang Jiayi's bedroom is basically empty, and occasionally relatives come to live in this room. Finally, I can understand why Zhang Jiayi can endure so many years when he is not popular in the entertainment industry, and still live so low-key after he is popular, just look at his simple parents.
It was this accident that became the driving force for Zhang Jiayi to make money, pushing him to "have the cheek" to go out and find various ways to film.
It was during this period that Zhang Jiayi was desperately filming, and never used body double. It was because he really fell on the concrete floor that he got the funny walking posture.
In Beijing, he also worked as an assistant director, audience sitting, catering for the crew and everything.
During that time, as long as there was a scene, Zhang Jiayi could turn around in a row, and it was even more common for him to perform continuously for 24 hours without rest.
At that time, Zhang Jiayi's acting skills were very deep, and he got many good roles through some connections. He thought to himself, "People give me a play and give me money. If I don't play well, I'm sorry for my friend's introduction, and people won't ask me to play again next time, so I must play every role to the best."
In order to interpret each role well, he never idles when he is resting on the set. When he sees who is good at acting, he goes to the trouble of asking people, "How do you figure out the characters? Where did you start to enter the role? " And so on, all kinds of questions.
That's not all. After returning home in the evening, Zhang Jiayi will write down the questions he asked that day, and he will ponder over the roles he played that day, where he played well, where he didn't play well, how to change them next time, and so on. Zhang Jiayi will keep them in mind.
It is this kind of thinking and practice that has made Zhang Jiayi's excellent products. With the honesty, fear of hardship and loss of Shaanxi people, he has a good reputation among his peers, and more and more people are looking for him to act.
Although Zhang Jiayi was not popular at that time, his acting skills were good, and the price was not high, which was simply worth the money.
Eight years after he arrived in Beijing, Zhang Jiayi was 36 years old. In this year, he played a famous TV series "Half-way Couple" and played Jiang Jianping in "Half-way Couple". The protagonists of this play are Sun Honglei and Chen Xiaoyi, who have already held up half the sky. About their fame overshadowed Zhang Jiayi, so although the play is very popular, Zhang Jiayi is still unknown.
Although he never became popular, Zhang Jiayi didn't give up. At the age of 39 in 2119, he finally got an opportunity to star in the TV series Dwelling House. After the TV series was broadcast, he became popular all over the country with the role of "Song Siming".
It didn't become popular until he was nearly 41 years old. Zhang Jiayi proved that his waiting was not in vain with his strength. I played Dwelling House because the director took a fancy to him with a long face of a civil servant.
From 11 years as a handyman in Xi 'an to 9 years as a walk-on in Beijing, it took Zhang Jiayi 21 years to wait for Song Siming in My Dwelling House.
It's true: to be a great man in Sri Lanka, you must first suffer from his mind, work hard on his bones and muscles, starve his body and skin, and be empty of his body ...
He didn't come to Song Siming until he was 39 years old. Before that, he was dormant for as long as 19 years, but he just managed to survive. Many people say that Zhang Jiayi's youth began at the age of 41, because his appearance was a bit mature, and he was not popular when he was young, but as he grew older, he became more tasteful.
