It was not until the TV series " Awakening Age " was released that the audience discovered Zhang Tong's figure. Mr. Li Dazhao played by
Zhang Tong seems to have come from history.

viewers believe that the "disappearance" of Zhang Tong is the tragedy of the film and television industry.
Zhang Tong
Zhang Tong is a native of Tianjin, a post-80s generation. Zhang Tong has two dreams, to be an actor or a policeman. It is a pity that he was born short-sighted and did not meet the standard when he was a police officer. The next best thing is to choose the actor industry.
Zhang Tong, who was a freshman at Nankai University , accidentally read Bratu's famous book "Republic of China". He was deeply attracted by the content and suddenly thought about how he would spend his life.
He remembered his childhood dream of becoming an actor.
Amid the objections of his parents, he dropped out of school and went to study at the Lyon Theatre Academy in France to study film and television.
Parents are against it, but they are willing to support their son's dream.
They sold a house and owed a lot of debts in order for Zhang Tong to study abroad. The economy of
's family is so difficult that Zhang Tong wants to give up. But your parents think that since you have made a choice, you have to stick with it.
"The path you choose, you must go no matter what."
Zhang Tong was encouraged by his parents to insist on completing his studies. In order to save money, I moved to a dilapidated house. I only had one meal for two or three days. When I was poorest, I ate dog food to satisfy my hunger. After
graduated, he returned to China and went to various production crews to submit his resume for interviews.
It's a pity that the actor's bowl of rice is not so delicious, and countless people squeezed their heads just to win a small role.
Zhang Tong's appearance is a tough guy, and there are many actors of the same type as him. He is not competitive at all without a background.
He finally won the opportunity to be an actor's lighting stand-in for Chen Kaige 's movie " Promise ", and his knees knelt on the ground for a long time, rubbing blood.
has played some supporting roles, " Happy Seven Fairies ", "Blooming Flowers and Sounds"...
's thin role cannot impress the audience with Zhang Tong.
Until 2004, he met Bright Sword.
Zhang Tong took great pains to win the role of Monk Wei, in order to become famous, Li Youbin who played Li Yunlong was offended. When
auditioned, the person in charge told him that the role of Monk Wei requires a little bit of martial arts.
Zhang Tong has no skill at all, but in order to get this role. He gave it up.
told the person in charge that he had studied martial arts and threw a few punches on the spot, looking like he had a foundation. The person in charge was taken aback.
Before reading the script, he wanted to fight for the role of Monk Wei in order to become famous. After reading the script, he admired the role of Monk Wei very much, and said to the director: " even if I don't get paid, I will play it." During the filming of
TV series, he always added drama to himself. run. I was tired from running, and accidentally dropped Li Youbin down the mountain.
Li Youbin was very helpless and collapsed, complaining to him: " brother, if you want to be famous, I won't hinder you, but you can't throw me to death!"
Li Youbin just complained casually and didn't really get angry. He and Chu Yunfei actor Zhang Guangbei both admire Zhang Tong very much, and often tell Zhang Tong drama.
"motivated, hardworking, willing to endure hardships, and love to study"
The seniors like the juniors who are motivated.
Zhang Tong's butt was rubbed in the riding scene, and no one complainedv.
"Bright Sword" became a classic. Zhang Tong made a small fire, but after that, he was silent for a long time.
Zhang Tong's "disappearance"
is not that he has no scenes to film, but he chose the wrong script. An acquaintance asked him to film, even if the script was inappropriate, but for the sake of human affection, he couldn't bear to refuse. In doing so, you are hurting your own business.
In 2010, when he filmed a drama, he was constantly criticized by the director and questioned by some netizens for his poor acting skills. He fell into self-doubt and became depressed.
had suicidal thoughts, tried suicide, and finally controlled himself.
Fortunately, his girlfriend Guan Siting accompanied him.
After his depression was cured, he returned to the film and television industry and acted in many works.
, " one and eight ", " desperate defender ", " desperate sword casting ", etc., but did not cause much splash.
until he waited for "Awakening Age".
Awakened Zhang Tong
The director of "Awakening Age" Zhang Yongxin only pursues similarities in appearance, but also in appearance.
Zhang Yongxin told reporters that Li Dazhao, Chen Duxiu, Cai Yuanpei, Lu Xun, Comrade Mao Zedong and others all have their shadows in the hearts of the Chinese people. If there is a little deviation in the role modeling, they will not be recognized by the audience. The image design of Mr. Li Dazhao by the crew of
has the temperament of Yanzhao masculine and elegiac. The texture of the clothes is rough and the texture is also rough. Realistic characters.
One day at noon a phone call woke Zhang Tong who was sleeping. The chief producer Liu Guohua called and invited him to play Mr. Li Dazhao.
" I can't do it, I can't act."
"Don't say that, come and see the director ."
Zhang Tong, who met the director, changed his mind. First of all, he admired director Zhang Yongxin, because The director is very knowledgeable, has his own ideas, and is very assertive.
"As an actor, I hope to show the best side to the audience. For me, the character of Li Dazhao is too difficult to shape, it is far away and strange to me, and I don't know if I can handle it. It is a feature that makes me go in and be in awe, so I didn't have confidence at first. But if I refuse to act, I will regret it for the rest of my life."
Zhang Tong checked Mr. Li Dazhao's historical literature and works, and figured out Mr. Li Dazhao's words and deeds What is the background color. He told reporters that he felt that the foundation of Mr. Li Dazhao's work was love. He loves children, he loves other people, he loves his country.
He doesn't think he's a smart person, but he's willing to make a fool of himself.
The two books "The Communist Manifesto" and "Das Kapital" were in his hands from the beginning to the end of the shooting. Before
started shooting, he made a wish in front of the statue of Li Dazhao in Wan'an Cemetery.
"I play you, I don't want to get you dirty, I hope you can guide me and let me understand you."
The audience saw Zhang Tong's acting skills in this play, Jin Tan, it turns out that there is such an outstanding person in the film and television industry actor, disappeared for so long. This is really the sadness of the film and television industry.
Zhang Tong's experience in this play is:
"I saw more teachers who need to learn, I saw their abilities, and realized my own shortcomings, I felt that I should go to work , the more I acted, the more scared I became, and the more I could not act, until I realized that there are people outside the mountains."
Unfortunately, after the "Awakening Age" ended, he still didn't get any good roles.
saw him again on the stage of the China National Theater. Entering this stage is considered to be in the establishment. He will have a stable income, and he can always do what he likes to do and play the role he likes. . The sorrow of
in the film and television industry
The disappearance of actors like Zhang Tong can be said to be the sorrow of the film and television industry.
The audience just wants to see good scripts, good film and television works, not the so-called traffic, the so-calledSmall fresh meat.
But in the past ten years, we have indeed seen the reality that there is frequent chaos in the film and television industry, only traffic, no acting skills, and the script is extremely bad.
Actors like Zhang Tong can get very few good roles. They are too low-key, they have too little traffic, and the current crew has not thought about creating a good work with their hearts, but just wants to make money quickly. What
can observe is that since "Bright Sword", almost no bright characters have appeared in front of the audience, starring Li Youbin, Zhang Guangbei and others.
Is it because they don't want to act?
They also didn't get a good script, and they were not willing to compromise. As an aspiring actor,
has very high requirements on themselves. They just want to keep improving in their professional field and play every role well.
But the current film and television industry does not have a stage for them to play, and even if there are good works, they cannot reach them.
This is not only the sadness of the film and television industry, but also the sadness of the audience.
originally thought that the audience could enjoy good works by mastering the remote control, but never thought that one day they would be "pressed".
Zhang Tong stepped onto the stage of the drama, and also fulfilled his dream of finding a quiet place in the flashy world.
