Zhang Songwen has been acting for nearly 20 years and has created high-quality roles several times, but people rarely know him. It was not until recent years that his name became known to people. In 2020, the popularity of the drama "The Hidden Corner" made Zhang Songwen, who played the role of "Zhu Yongping", truly remembered by audiences across the country. Later, he continued to perform brilliantly in film and television works such as "The Heart", "The Revolutionary", and "The Lyceum Theater". At the beginning of 2023, with the broadcast of the drama "Hurry", Zhang Songwen received numerous praises for his acting skills. At the age of 47, he finally started to "Hurry".
There are countless talented actors working silently in the film and television industry. Zhang Songwen is "lucky", but if we look closely at the past, this "lucky" is full of hardship and perseverance. Zhang Songwen was admitted to the Beijing Film Academy at the age of 24. As a student who had shown acting talent and excellent grades, he was repeatedly "rejected" after graduation. His experience of being "rejected 800 times in auditions" has been repeatedly mentioned by the media after he became famous, but these numbers are enough to illustrate Zhang Songwen's love for acting and his determination in his career as an actor. For more than ten years, Zhang Songwen never gave up before the opportunity came. He taught, delved into acting, and looked for opportunities. The acting path and real life were not always smooth sailing, but they also became his own nourishment. No matter how big or small the character is, he makes them all come alive. As a result, he became the "top-level uncle in the world" today. Zhang Songwen's emergence and popularity is no accident. His inspirational stories are also particularly positive, showing that life is never in vain. Every step counts.
Besides his strength, what the audience respects and talks about about Zhang Songwen is his past behavior. People discovered that when they got to know Zhang Songwen, they also discovered a "treasure uncle". From interviews, narrations from long-time fans, and comments from industry insiders, the public has increasingly discovered that Zhang Songwen has a charming personality, which is in addition to his performance capabilities. There was such an interesting scene at the 2023 iQiyi Annual Ceremony. Outside the venue, fans of various popular idols formed a support array, and Zhang Songwen’s support appeared in a particularly conspicuous position; inside, fans shouted for their “idols” Although Zhang Songwen took the stage to speak and received the honor, he received applause from the audience and was laughed at by many people as "the only person who unifies the fandom". But behind this humor, it also reflects a phenomenon. "When will powerful actors usher in spring?" has been talked about for several years. It seems that "spring" has quietly arrived, and the public has a general consensus and is full of confidence in talented actors. Cherish, behind everyone's praise for Zhang Songwen, there is also praise for the phenomenon of powerful actors in the entertainment industry returning to their posts and becoming popular among the mainstream. At this moment, Zhang Songwen may no longer be just himself, but also reflects people's projections and expectations for outstanding actors to be valued. They deserve the title and are equally expected by the public.
