The day before our interview, Zhang Zhen just passed his 43rd birthday. Fans celebrated his birthday on the Internet, counting his previous screen image, and leaving blessings: "May you leave for half your life and return as a teenager."

Zhang Zhen He was thinner than before, but he was more energetic. After filming "Chen Xi Yuan", he went to participate in "Dune", jogging, fitness, rock climbing and bouldering. He smiled and said that he was playing, but those who knew him understood. , For the new role, he is working hard as always.
bouldering is a kind of free-handed rock climbing. The only protection is to lay a soft cushion under the rock wall. Zhang Zhen said that every time he boulders, his mind is empty. His only belief is to figure out how to move up, every time his fingers and feet, how to Form the best upward route and climb every pass. The word "bouldering" is only literal, and it feels like going forward with weight and not giving up lightly. For Zhang Zhen, filming these years is not another bouldering? When
first took over the filming of "Chen Xi Yuan", hard-core movie fans were worried, how could a movie celebrity like Zhang Zhen pick up a 60-episode costume idol fairy tale?
is like rock climbing. Zhang Zhen is a good player. He became famous when he was young and worked with many big directors. Everyone expected him to climb new heights, but he suddenly jumped into the deep valley in a panic?
At the beginning of October, "Chen Xi Yuan" was broadcasted, and word of mouth reversed. Zhang Zhen, who was filming a new drama, reposted the stills and highlights of "Chen Xi Yuan" on Weibo, and reposted a short video about the story of young people who have suffered repeated setbacks in life and work. is:. "when you are Tongzou life, do not get on the ground, standing is victory" when

series just got "Chen Xi edge" script, Olivia some Hesitating, the role of Jiu Chen is too high. He is a god of war who has been sleeping for fifty thousand years.
"It can only be performed under pressure," Zhang Zhen said. But this kind of performance is not popular, plus the first few episodes, the plot is slow, and the network score is only 5.3 points. The fairy-xia idol drama that people are accustomed to is young and handsome, with small traffic, gorgeous and exaggerated service, and the plot is not surprising and endless. In comparison, "Chen Xi Yuan" is too different. Zhang Zhen's initial appearance was fiercely complained by netizens, such as "too old", "not immortal enough, strong sense of violation" and so on. But just as the director of the play said, this was not originally an idol fairy tale drama in the conventional sense. Inviting a movie guy like Zhang Zhen just wanted to establish a new and textured drama series. His big screen performances, no matter the lines or expressions, are very rhythmic and can also highlight the most delicate aspects of the plot. In the eyes of many movie fans, Zhang Zhen has long been familiar with the subject of love, but he himself does not think so. During the filming, he will repeatedly communicate with the director to discuss how to build a fairy world, as well as the character and emotions of the characters, and certain Values.

, he goes all out every day It took more than ten hours of filming, spinning for a few months without rest. Everyone is working hard, there is no reason not to succeed. Many young people in their early twenties, photographers, scene notes and other people behind the scenes, from start to finish, only sleep for four or five hours a day, without a day off. Zhang Zhen shouted: "I'm so tired that I'm so tired, why are you guys? Can you still be so energetic?"
film and television production is a group project, and the director, actors, and publicity can not be pulled down. Zhang Zhen shoots "Dune" every day, and takes the time to match the broadcast rhythm of "Chen Xi Yuan" on his personal Weibo, and post meme packs made of stills and various behind-the-scenes highlights. Some are affectionate, some are funny, and some are very Inspirational. Many people who didn't catch a cold at the beginning of this show are through these, from curiosity to good impression.
As the series was broadcast, many viewers were fascinated by it, and therefore they liked Zhang Zhen more, not only for the solid performance in the play, but also the hard work and reality outside the play.
has some cornersColor, I want to try, just like when bouldering, some points look very hanging, but you have to try before you have a chance to move up. I haven't filmed a TV series, let alone the theme of immortal heroes that people are passionate about. Zhang Zhen has made a big step in this step, but he has done it.
Zhang Zhen said: "Later the Internet score stabilized at 8.3, I am very pleased."

. "We were chosen to be the role that the director thinks we are suitable for." Zhang Zhen said. Sometimes, when the role given by the director is different from what he expected, he will fight for it. Have you ever succeeded? He smiled: "Very few, actors are passive."
Some directors like live impromptu performances outside of the actor's script, but some do not. They will strictly require such as "turn your head in three seconds, five seconds To start to shed tears" Wait, then the actor must finish that way. Zhang Zhen told me about "Xiu Chun Dao", he was 38 years old that year, director Lu Yang asked him to play Jin Yiwei Shen Lian, but he wanted to play Ding Xiu. This character is more graphic, "Is the only person in the film. It is difficult to judge this person by morals or logic. He is a bad person, but there are things that cannot be done."
Zhang Zhen once participated in "Reading Poems for You In the recitation, there is a poem "Go to the top of the mountain to plant an oak tree, not a pine tree": "I lean on the oak tree/Say nothing/The hilltop is silent/If there is nothing in the world/My oak tree/Trembling in the breeze/Every piece The leaves are different/every leaf is good". The same is true for a good actor, each is different and each has its own advantages. The "different" and "good" of Zhang Zhen's leaf lies in its keenness and seriousness. Shen Lian is a very difficult role to play. Looking gloomy, in fact, he has passion and justice in his heart. It is a role with great drama tension. The director thinks Zhang Zhenlai Acting is the most suitable, able to control, and can well interpret that kind of temperament. In the final film, Zhang Zhenyan's Shen Lian left a deep impression on fans and received extremely wide praise. Sometimes actors seem to be passive when faced with the director's assignment of roles, but in fact they also have the initiative and full communication, which can stimulate the potential and possibility that they may not realize.

always leave messages on the Internet, hoping that Zhang Zhen can have more roles in each work. There are few scenes, which is related to his challenge. This is also another passivity of actors. Everyone has their own boundaries. Some roles are not suitable. If you bite the bullet and rush upwards, you will only hurt yourself even more. For example, in "Wonderful West East", the director initially wanted Zhang Zhen to play the role of Shen Guangyao, the pilot Wang Leehom, but Zhang Zhen felt that he was not suitable. The actor needs to take risks, but he still has to have a ruler in his heart, just like the role of a pilot. Zhang Zhen said he must not be able to act. He joked a little mischievously: "I don't have such a handsome face."
"Being an actor Don't care too much, I'm very AQ, and will treat these as challenges to myself." Zhang Zhen said, otherwise there will be too many regrets in filming. Although actors are passive, they can't give up on those who have expectations of themselves, and those who desire to perform must find a way to release.

From the very beginning, Zhang Zhen was very interested in movies, but he was very stressed about acting. He was not from a major and didn’t know how to act. Zhang Zhen said that in the last few years of his 20s, he didn’t want to. As an actor, "This job seems to be doing, and there seems to be no work, no way to prepare, and I don't know what to do."
until I met Gong Li, in 2004, the two co-starred in "Eros".
"She gave me a good expectation that I must be like Gong Li as an actor." Zhang Zhen said.
Gong Li plays well. She is very sensitive to the camera. She will know that at a certain moment, the photographer is clapping his feet, is still clapping his hands, or is a close-up of his face, so she will act in the corresponding position. It is imaginative.
Zhang Zhen thisThe point is relatively lacking, and "always feel that I can't catch up with the photographer." After working with Gong Li, Zhang Zhen changed a lot. He laughed and teased: "Slowly become better friends with the photographers, and I will buy instant noodles for the photographers during supper."
A year later, Zhang Zhen and Shu Qi played Hou Xiaoxian's movie "The Best" "The Time", the title seems like a metaphor full of expectations. Zhang Zhen was nominated for the best actor in the 42nd Golden Horse Awards. It was also this year that the famous Korean director Kim Ki-duk saw Zhang Zhen’s performance and liked it very much. Tailor-made a movie, so there was a later 2007 "Breath", Zhang Zhen played a death row prisoner, cold and extreme, but because he cut his vocal cords, he became speechless, very dramatic.

"My character, it is actually more difficult to be a male number one." Zhang Zhen is very self-explanatory. The male number one in film and television dramas are mostly sunny and external. There are fewer roles like Shen Lian in "Xiu Chun Dao", which just fits Zhang Zhen's self-character and temperament.
Zhang Zhen said that there is no certain so-called good or bad performance. Others think it is good, but you may not think it is good. Sometimes a "very eight o'clock stage, very TV show performance method, the audience is very applauded, but I think it is not The most satisfactory." For example, when sad, someone likes to cry and cry, but Zhang Zhen doesn't like it, but sometimes if the director needs it, as a professional actor, he will try his best to cooperate.
Unless you choose the script yourself, be a director. In 2014, in addition to starring in "Embroidered Spring Knife", Zhang Zhen was invited by the Hong Kong Film Festival to direct the short film "Inchworm", a cold literary and artistic, open ending with a lot of room for imagination.
He plans to direct real feature films. "Always looking for themes", he likes suspense dramas, but the scripts are not easy to write. At least he hasn't met a suitable one. For a while, he was developing a love script, but the timing is very important. When I come back and continue to write, I don’t feel it anymore, "You still have to work hard, otherwise a lot of things will be left behind and it will last a long time."
Some actors will watch their plays repeatedly, do detailed technical review, find out shortcomings, and improve . But Zhang Zhen won't. Except for "Guling Street Juvenile Murder", he will watch every other time at most, including the premiere. He will not repeat the analysis.

"too many shortcomings, can not be done." He teased that performance is always an imperfect art.
Zhang Zhen in front of me is chatting and laughing, relaxed, but it contains tension. He can feel his maturity and a kind of "living confidence."
In life, Zhang Zhen claims to be lazy, but when he talks, he is actually quite rich and active. For example, when you go to rock climbing, he said that people will become less sensitive to surrounding things if they watch mobile phones and play tablet computers every day. Rock climbing gave him a certain kind of imagination, "When rock climbing, he is always upright and simple."
When he was working in Europe, he often saw famous actors and celebrities in cafes, sitting there alone, enjoying the sun, reading the newspaper, drinking coffee, and chatting. No one was watching, everyone was living a good life.
"Good performances are all about drawing nutrients from life." Zhang Zhen said that such a state is the confidence to live. After filming "Dune", Zhang Zhen wanted to try more in overseas creative circles, "Being an actor is not boring. There will always be new roles to play, but it will also be boring. It is because of the freshness and excitement of being in a small circle. Feelings will decrease."
comedy was once Zhang Zhen said more than once that he wanted to try the direction. It made everyone laugh and was very satisfied, but it was difficult and would want to challenge. He yearned for the humor and humor of British actor Hugh Grant. , May not make the audience laugh, but it will also be very happy.
Having said this, Zhang Zhen sat up straight from the sofa, imitating the British pronunciation and said seriously: "Come on, let's have a cup of tea." A group of people were caught off guard and did not react. He laughed slightly at himself. I laughed first, "It's really bad, let alone such a formal thing, come and have tea."
