Recently, the TV series "Flowers" directed by director Wong Kar-wai is currently being broadcast on CCTV 8 and Dragon TV. Surprisingly, in this drama, football star Fan Zhiyi guest-starred, playing the role of a factory director named "Lao Fan". His fiery and straightforward personality and authentic acting skills were well received by the audience.
As Fan Zhiyi's mentor, Xu Genbao also commented on his disciple's acting skills: "Xiao Fan acted very well. The role of the factory director just fits Fan Zhiyi's character. There is a scene in the plot where he trains people, which is the same as being a football coach. It requires Educating team members and even criticizing them, especially when they are angry. His character is just right for this role. If he really plays a gentle person, it may not work, and the audience may not accept it."
However, as a footballer, Xu Genbao, I hope that my disciple can return to his old profession. "Now Xiao Fan has developed in this area (entertainment industry), but I still hope that he can return to football. After all, he is a football person. Seeing that our football is lagging behind, you should do it. I I think he still wants to play football in his heart. He is still a football person at heart. Without football, he has nothing. As the past Asian Footballer and General Fan, what is the name of football? If there is no football, what else do you have?"
According to other media reports, in an interview, Fan Zhiyi revealed that when he received the invitation from director Wong Kar-Wai, he was very conflicted. After all, acting is not a platform that he is good at. "When he found me, I rejected him several times." He said that director Wong Kar-Wai had always been patient and sincere, and told him, "This role belongs to you." Fan Zhiyi said that in the end, under the persuasion of his wife, he decided to give it a try and participate in the TV series "Flowers".
In addition, in the TV series "Flowers", Director Fan, played by Fan Zhiyi, and Miss Wang, played by Tang Yan, also talked about "Fan Zhiyi" during the quarrel. Miss Wang said that Fan Zhiyi lived upstairs, and then gave a list of addresses. Netizens found by comparing the information form that Fan Zhiyi filled out when he was playing football at Shenhua in reality that Fan Zhiyi did live there.
In the current drama series, Fan Zhiyi mostly plays opposite Tang Yan. Hu Ge, the leading actor of "Flowers", also admires Fan Zhiyi very much. It can be seen from Hu Ge's social media that he is a die-hard Shenhua fan, especially Fan Zhiyi, the then general. After "Flowers" became a hit and Fan Zhiyi's character was released, Hu Ge also posted many photos of Fan Zhiyi on social media, saying, "What does it feel like to be able to go back to his all-powerful era with my idol?"
Among them, Hu Ge also posted a back photo of himself wearing Fan Zhiyi's No. 5 Shenhua jersey, imitating Fan Zhiyi's iconic shoulder movements, which shows his familiarity with Fan Zhiyi.
Fan Zhiyi's acting skills are also widely praised. "Genuine General Fan, Fan Hua has so many dramas, but Lao Fan can actually come to the table." "It's impressive. It's 10,000 times better than those little fresh actors. He successfully transformed from Yang Wu to Yang Liu. It's amazing. ""The Best Newcomer Award of the Golden Rooster Award must be yours!"
