mentioned tough guy actors, but now the most popular one is Wu Jing.
But there is a tough guy who is even more late than Wu Jing. When
became famous, he was almost 44 years old.
and he is also an actor who is a half-time monk, and he is born with an "uncle temperament".
He is Zhang Hanyu.
01
Zhang Hanyu was born in a military compound in Beijing in 1964.
's father is a photographer at Bayi Film Studio, his uncle is an actor in the military art troupe, and his uncle is a performing artist from Beijing Renyi.
It stands to reason that under the influence of such a family of artists, Zhang Hanyu in his childhood should be a gentle and gentle gentleman.
never expected, but he was a violent and aggressive "little thorn."
When he was 8 years old, Zhang Hanyu, who had just finished "Xu Xiake's Travels", was ignited with a literary dream.
He took ten yuan at home, a small travel bag, a wad of manuscript paper, and a pen, and took the train to Xi'an by himself to go to the end of the world. The most interesting thing about
is that before he left, he left a letter to his parents:
"You don't want me anymore, I will travel to the famous mountains and rivers of the motherland".
At that time, he was only in the first grade of elementary school.
In this way, that kind of valiant hero complex has already planted the seeds in Zhang Hanyu's young mind.
Later, Zhang Hanyu, who was in middle school, became interested in dubbing the dubbing of the dubbing film, and imitated Qiu Yuefeng's voice in "The Hunt" at home.
imitated it for a while and felt that it was okay.
He recorded a short section of the trustee and sent it to CCTV.
did not expect that CCTV actually told him to audition. The movie
is a Pakistani feature film "No, not yet". Zhang Hanyu, who was in the third grade of junior high school, wanted to dub a middle-aged man in his 50s who sold parrots on the street.
He memorized the lines, only tried it once, and used his vivid voice shaping ability, which successfully attracted the attention of the director:
"This kid is really smart"!
Since then, dubbing has become Zhang Hanyu's life goal. He took Teacher Qiu Yuefeng as a benchmark, and made up his mind to follow him.
Even if his family felt that he was delaying his studies and almost fell out, Zhang Hanyu's determination was not shaken.
At that time, he made his first pot of gold by dubbing, and spent 3,000 yuan to buy himself a motorcycle. At that time, the per capita salary of
was only a few dozen yuan. For many years after
, Zhang Hanyu's voice can be heard in the Japanese animation "Three Thousand Miles to Seek Mother", the classic movies "The Godfather", "Lord of the Rings", "Troy" and "Saving Private Ryan" and other blockbusters. What’s more interesting is that the King Huang Mei in the 86 version of "Journey to the West" and Monkey King in the first 7 episodes of the animated version of "Journey to the West" in 1999 are all voiced by him; so are the soldiers in the
cartoon "Mulan" Voice of Zhang Hanyu.
also has Donald Duck in the first ten episodes of "Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck", which is still his voice.
, because of his serious work attitude and special sound quality, he had become a well-known "shedworm" in Beijing at that time.
is called "the little prince of dubbing". When
later dubbed the movie "Hongmen Banquet" he played, Zhang Hanyu surprised the director and shouted: "It's too easy." The professional level of
impressed the director and sound engineer, and they couldn't help but praise: "Deserving of the dubbing master."
Zhang Hanyu jokingly said: "I am a boy skill."
But suddenly one day, Zhang Hanyu began to feel confused.
He feels that even if the dubbing is in place and gorgeous, it will more or less obliterate the original color. The character expressed in Chinese for
actually lost a lot of things. As an idealist,
actually has no meaning to continue when he has this understanding.
Zhang Hanyu decided to leave the recording studio to study English abroad.
He went to Australia first, and found that there were more Chinese than foreigners. He couldn't move to the United States again, but unexpectedly found a business opportunity.
thus became a "fallen master" who went to the sea to do business, and he really made a lot of money.
, even if he makes more money, he still feels boring to do business.
because he has always had a movie dream in his heart "faintly haunting".
After deliberation, I still have to do things related to movies. The dubbing of
doesn't want to continue, so let's film this time.
02
Actually, Zhang Hanyu studied in the Acting Department of the Chinese Theatre Academy during his college years.
has always been a professional "penworm" after graduation, and didn't care about acting well. Since
has decided to return to his old line of business, it should not be vague.
In 1999, under the introduction of his friend Fu Biao, Zhang Hanyu and Tao Hong co-starred in the TV series "The Place Where Dream Begins".
became his first screen show.
Because of his outstanding performance, Zhang Hanyu was able to play a social man who helped Fu Biao settle accounts in Feng Xiaogang's 2000 film "Endless".
Since then, Zhang Hanyu has become the "Queen Dragon" in Feng's New Year film. In
"Endless", "Big Name", "A World Without Thieves" and "Mobile", he played 4 supporting roles in a row.
These people don't even have names, so they can only use "Neuropathy A", "Friend A", "Undercover Policeman" instead. During the
Dragon Set period, Zhang Hanyu took a miscellaneous path.
or he is not qualified to choose a role, he will act whatever the director gives him.
And this kind of life will last for seven years.
It was not until 2007 "Assembly Number" that Zhang Hanyu got rid of his long career and became a well-known and powerful actor.
When talking about the role of the male No. 1 Guzidi, the fate with Zhang Hanyu is really twists and turns.
On his many years of friendship with Feng Xiaogang, playing a role is not a problem.
But Feng Xiaogang never considered him the number one male candidate.
After all, for such a big investment in a movie, it is safer to find a big actor.
But looking and trying, there is no actor who fits the image of Gu Zidi as a tough guy.
And Zhang Hanyu, who has been with him to try more than a dozen times, is really moved by the role of Gu Zidi. Although
has worked with Director Feng so many times, he has never taken the initiative to fight for any role.
But this time, he really couldn't help it.
Faced with Zhang Hanyu's self-recommendation, Director Feng did not give him any answer.
was finally selected, but still no suitable actors were found.
So the producer Wang Zhongjun let go, and just let Zhang Hanyu come and let him act.
, the 2007 Lunar New Year movie "Assembly Number", made Zhang Hanyu "an overnight fame" and successfully ranked among the top domestic movie stars.
even in 2008, Zhang Hanyu won the title of "Five Material Actor" by virtue of "Assembly Number".
also made Zhang Hanyu the first actor to win the Chinese actor Grand Slam! He was almost 44 years old that year of
. After a late bloomer, he finally became popular after a long career. After
03
"Assembly Number", there are countless characters to come to Zhang Hanyu.
But he has a soft spot for heroes and tough guys. Wu Zhiguo, the iron-blooded stubborn stone in
"The Wind":
appeared to be the iron-blooded and cold-blooded captain of the puppet army suppression bandit, but in fact it was a national fighter who resolutely sang "Empty City Planning" under severe torture and successfully sent intelligence.
The rich and colorful actor in "The Cook Ruffian Actor":
is a madman with a mouthful of Beijing accents on the surface, but is actually a patriotic man who is proficient in guns, artillery, and landmines.
Yang Zirong, who is both righteous and evil in "Taking the Tiger Mountain Out of Wisdom":
plays Hu Biao on the surface, fighting wits and courage with the bandit leader "Mountain Eagle" in Weihu Mountain. In fact, in order to win the victory of the bandit, he constantly ventures into the mountain. The enemy engineering investigator whose teammate sent the message.
"Old Cannon" has the most affectionate stuff:
looks carefree and cynical on the surface, but it is full of enthusiasm, for the brothers who can carry thunder and knife.
The wise and courageous Gao Gang in "Operation Mekong":
is full of blood on the surface and swears.They are just warriors who are elegant, wise, experienced, and fearless of danger and desperately fighting drug dealers.
In addition, the many heroes and tough guys he has portrayed have made him the "true national hero spokesperson" in the hearts of movie fans.
has more netizens jokingly: the police in "Operation Mekong", the captain in "Operation Red Sea", plus the heroic captain in "Captain China".
Zhang Hanyu has successfully ignited all the skills of "Sea, Land and Air".
, one after another heroic screen image, has labelled Zhang Hanyu as an unmovable "tough guy".
was given the "hormone for walking" by the audience.
even Xiao S said: "Zhang Hanyu is very manly, that manhood is really shocking, powerful enough to surround me".
is different from many actors who hate a single role. Zhang Hanyu doesn't care about it. He admits that he has a heroic complex.
"As a man, it's okay not to play a few heroes in your life?"
In fact, there is nothing wrong with the label.
For an actor like Zhang Hanyu who has acting skills and charm, the audience will naturally enjoy it.
For himself, to play this label well, his art career is already exciting enough.
04
has been filming for nearly two decades, and Zhang Hanyu has never been embarrassed.
is because when he devotes 100% of his energy to one character, he can no longer allocate energy to other characters.
He often thinks of lines before going to bed. He thinks that he can't say that, so he quickly gets up and writes it down;
also thinks about how the scene should be played, but he can't think about it, and then completely loses sleep.
"I'm not the kind of actor who can jump around at once. I just immerse the character in the drama and then lock him up.
I may not quit until the drama is over."
In addition to treating the character with heart, the circle People also summarized a feature of Zhang Hanyu's filming.
That is: "Enough to yourself". It is inevitable for
to portray heroes in action scenes, but Zhang Hanyu rarely uses substitutes:
“It’s really painful because you fall, so you don’t need to feel the pain again.”
filmed "Assembly Number" and he reduced from 130 pounds to 110 kilograms, carrying more than 20 kilograms of equipment every day;
's face is glued with cinder, crawling around in the snow of minus 20 degrees.
filmed "Take the Tiger Mountain Out of Mind". He was running through the snowy forest in the northeast of minus 30 or 40 degrees and almost broke his arm during the filming.
filmed "Operation Mekong", and he shuttled through the tropical jungles of Southeast Asia with a degree of 30 or 40 degrees above zero and completed all the action scenes by himself with a back injury.
filmed "Chinese Captain". In order to reproduce the real situation, he had to face pressure of up to 10mpa (equivalent to a pressure of 100 kg), which is close to the wind force of 8 gales. He often ridiculed
: "Drink and drink until you are full every day, but don't want to eat at all!" Why
is so good at himself? In the words of Zhang Hanyu:
"Just work 10% more than others and get closer to your dreams" . It is because of this tenacity that
can stand out from many actors and become a powerful actor recognized by the audience and loved by fans.
05
has faded the flowers and halo of the showbiz and returned to real life. Zhang Hanyu is a life player with a wide range of hobbies:
is proficient in Peking opera, collecting, rock and banhu.
's collection of furniture in Ming and Qing dynasties in particular has become another spiritual pillar for him besides acting.
As for the origin of the collection, it is the fascination with ancient cultural relics since childhood.
Those old objects and symbols are an important part of his childhood memory.
So when he had the ability, he began to want to find those things, the good memories of childhood. In addition to collecting
, Zhang Hanyu also raised a few German shepherds in his life and loved them.
When facing them, you can hardly imagine that a tough guy would be so tender. The
audience even teased: "It feels like the image of a tough guy collapses in a second."
The tender Zhang Hanyu likes to keep pets and once loved actorsThe world is sad and crying.
The day when Japanese actor Ken Takakura died, he recalled watching a movie clip of "The Manhunt" and cried for a long time.
Zhang Hanyu, who was a teenager, officially took the film road because he liked Takakura Ken and voice actor Qiu Yuefeng in "The Hunt".
For him, the road is not smooth.
So recalling the scene 30 years ago, I can't help feeling mixed.
All these are not difficult to see.
Zhang Hanyu has a soft and sincere heart under the stiff iron bones.
may be because of this, allowing him to maintain his true temperament at the age of 55, without any so-called "middle-aged greasy". Even if
is partnered with Xiao Xianrou, this handsome uncle can do no less.
06
Looking back on Zhang Hanyu's journey, every decision he made was based on his own heart.
likes Takakura Ken and Qiu Yuefeng, so he goes to dub;
is almost dubbed, so he goes to business;
makes enough money in business, so he comes back to film.
He can accomplish everything and he is good.
Because he recognized this matter, no matter how difficult it is, the stubbornness has to force himself to behave.
Compared with the "young fame" crowded together in the entertainment circle, Zhang Hanyu's "late bloomer" seems more calm and weighty.
goes from dragon sleeve to supporting role, from supporting role to protagonist;
from protagonist to actor, his history of struggle is full of experience and acting skills.
And only with these wealth, can he truly succeed in the path of performing arts without waves and against the wind.
Nowadays, when we are talking about a person "working hard".
didn't seem to be complimenting, but rather satirizing his stupid talent.
But if there are people who can convince us that
will succeed as long as we work hard, and as long as we persist, then Zhang Hanyu must be one of them.
