In the spotlight of the past, the words "Yuanfang, what do you think?" were like lightning piercing the silent night sky, making Zhang Zijian, an actor with a background in folk art, suddenly become the focus of public discussion. What kind of magic is it that makes this line so closely associated with his image that it becomes a classic "famous quote" in the Internet age?
Looking back on the past, Zhang Zijian grew up under the influence of folk art. In his early years, he seemed to be a born stage wizard, winning applause every time he took the stage. However, the gears of fate always turn inadvertently.
From the Quyuan to the Screen: Zhang Zijian’s "Rebellious" Acting Path
In 1968, in a family of folk artists in Tianjin, with a loud cry, Zhang Zijian stepped into the world destined to be associated with art. His father, Zhang Zhikuan, is a well-known figure in the world of cross talk and allegro. He holds an allegro and can speak in a eclectic way, making the audience laugh.
Growing up in such an environment, Zhang Zijian seems to be a lucky man who has been kissed by the god of literature and art. When he was 2 years old, he was able to play Allegro in a decent manner. At the age of 4, he competed with his father on the same stage and showed his talent in "Three Strikes of White Bone Demons". The Tianjin audience exclaimed: This kid will definitely be outstanding in the future!
After entering elementary school, Zhang Zijian became more like a fish in water. He joined the children's theater troupe of Tianjin Broadcasting Station and began to make a name for himself in film and television dramas. Although his father hoped that he would inherit the mantle of cross talk, he couldn't help but be proud of his son's all-round development.
However, in the heart of young Zhang Zijian, a "rebellious" idea quietly arose - he wanted to be a real actor, not just a star on the cross talk stage.
When he was in the first year of junior high school, he participated in the movie "Treasure" and received a salary of 210 yuan. This amount of money was not a small amount at the time, and it was enough for Zhang Zijian to firmly pursue his dream of becoming an actor.
Although his father Zhang Zhikuan still insisted on letting him learn cross talk, and even sent him to the student class of Tianjin Folk Art Troupe for further studies after graduating from junior high school, Zhang Zijian's love for performance has always been burning in his heart.
He performed everywhere with Liu Yajin, Dai Zhicheng and others, and received countless applause and laughter, but he never forgot the dream in his heart.
Until one day, crosstalk actor Liu Wei's words seemed like a bolt of lightning piercing the night sky, illuminating the road ahead of Zhang Zijian.
Liu Wei looked at Zhang Zijian, who was tall and handsome, and said bluntly: "This appearance is not suitable for cross talk. You should go into acting." These words were like a key, opening the door deep in Zhang Zijian's heart. .
After hearing this, his father Zhang Zhikuan felt a little unhappy, but he also felt that Liu Wei's words were reasonable. He looked at his son's firm eyes and knew that nothing could stop him from pursuing his dream of becoming an actor. So, he decided to give it a try and support Zhang Zijian in pursuing his true dream.
The red line of fate and the entanglement of fate: Zhang Zijian, Li Ting and an unexpected tragedy
In the laughter and laughter of the old campus, Qian Yanqiu and Zhang Zijian became attached to each other because of their common hobby - cross talk. Their friendship is like old wine that grows over the years, becoming mellower and mellower with time, becoming an indispensable presence in each other's lives.
Time flies and the graduation bell rings. Zhang Zijian is led by the hand of fate to Shanghai Film Studio with his dream on his back.
However, the road to acting was not smooth. He traveled on the road to stardom and experienced ups and downs. It was not until 1995 that he emerged as the purple-faced King Kong Wang Shun in the movie "White Eyebrow Heroes" and officially launched his screen career.
In this drama, he not only found a breakthrough in his career, but also met a beautiful woman-Li Ting.
This Changsha girl is as famous as Jiang Wenli and Xu Qing, and is known as the "Three Golden Flowers of Nortel". Her acting path seems to be much smoother than that of Zhang Zijian. She entered the entertainment industry as early as college with "The Bells of Qingliang Temple", and later became famous for her role as A Fang in "Foreign Girl".
Interestingly, although Li Ting and Zhang Zijian are on the same campus, they have never intersected like parallel lines.
Until a coincidence of fate allowed them to reunite at the Shanghai Film Studio and co-star in "The White Eyebrow Hero". In this drama, Li Ting plays two roles, showing amazing acting skills. Her light seemed to overshadow Zhang Zijian, but it was this dazzling light that ignited the emotional spark between the two.
They fell in love, as sweetly as all lovers in love. However, they did not rush to get married, but chose to continue fighting for their respective careers. It was not until 1997 that the two entered the palace of marriage hand in hand and started a new chapter of life.
In 1999, Li Ting gave birth to a daughter for Zhang Zijian, named "Zhang Yiyi". This cute little life brought a little comfort and joy to their lives. However, this did not change the difficulties of their marriage. The rift between the two became deeper and deeper until 2003, when a sudden misfortune befell Li Ting.
That day, Li Ting felt unwell. After going to the hospital for a check-up, she learned that she had breast cancer, which was in the middle and late stages. She couldn't imagine facing the threat of death at such a young age. What made her even more unbearable was that she chose to bear all this alone without telling anyone, including her closest partner Zhang Zijian.
Bright stardom and bleak life: the love-hate relationship between Zhang Zijian and Li Ting
Whenever night falls, Li Ting sits alone in front of the window, staring at the dim lights in the distance, and the loneliness and helplessness that surges in her heart almost drowns her. . The pain was like an invisible claw, entangled tightly with her, leaving her unable to breathe and unable to escape. Her mood was like the calm before the storm, depressing and heavy.
Under such a situation, Li Ting's mood became extremely unstable. She would often get angry at Zhang Zijian, and those subtle frictions were like sparks that ignited the flames of war between the two. Zhang Zijian, this heroic and fearless actor on the screen, is just an ordinary person of flesh and blood in reality.
Faced with Li Ting's anger, he would sometimes feel at a loss and even wonder if he had done something wrong.
In 2004, Zhang Zijian's career ushered in a turning point. He was invited to participate in "Detective Di Renjie Part 1" and played the role of Li Yuanfang. The drama swept across the screen like a whirlwind, and Zhang Zijian became a household name. However, just when his career was at its peak, his marriage was on the verge of breakdown.
On a cold night in November 2005, Zhang Zijian returned home after filming. He opened the door, but felt an unprecedented coldness and alienation. Li Ting sat on the sofa, her eyes firm and decisive. She filed for divorce from him, and these four words hit Zhang Zijian's heart like a bolt from the blue.
He tried to save her, but Li Ting was determined. In desperation, Zhang Zijian could only agree to divorce. In the days after the divorce, his daughter became Zhang Zijian's only comfort. He tried hard to play the role of a father and give his daughter a complete home. Li Ting, on the other hand, chose to face the torture of illness alone. She still insisted on filming, but her life was like a withering flower.
Old love is a thing of the past, and a new relationship blooms quietly on the crew.
At that time, Zhang Zijian was like a traveler walking in the emotional desert. Although he was lonely, his heart was firm. He entrusted his daughter to his parents while he devoted himself to his acting career and left most of his property to his ex-wife. This move undoubtedly made people marvel at his generosity and responsibility.
However, as time passed, his parents saw that his life was always lacking a hostess, and they began to worry about his marriage. They knew that Zhang Zijian needed someone who could accompany him for the rest of his life.
Against this background, one day in 2006, fate seemed to have arranged an unexpected encounter for Zhang Zijian.
At that time, he was filming "The Legend of Detective Dee 2", and an architectural designer named Fang Yun came to the crew. This lady, who graduated from the Architecture Department of Tsinghua University, is not only knowledgeable and knowledgeable, but also has a unique charm.
Zhang Zijian’s good brother Qian Yanqiu is a sharp-eyed person. He saw the potential spark between Zhang Zijian and Fang Yun at a glance, so he decided to secretly match up the destined pair.
In this way, under Qian Yanqiu's clever arrangement, Zhang Zijian and Fang Yun began to have frequent contact.
As time passed, the two hearts that had been hurt in marriage began to get closer and closer. They warmed each other, supported each other, and found a long-lost sense of happiness in each other's comfort.
The fate is far away, and the tears are shed in the hometown: the joys and sorrows of Zhang Zijian, Fang Yun and Li Ting
While the bells of 2007 are still ringing, Zhang Zijian and Fang Yun entered the palace of marriage. They, like two lone stars that have been wandering for a long time, finally found each other's trajectory and formed a warm constellation of a family of four. But among the stars, there is always some slight friction.
Fang Yun is not only a good wife and mother, but also a filial daughter-in-law. She treats Zhang Zijian's parents just like she treats her own biological parents. Every time she and Zhang Zijian visit their elders, she always carries large and small bags filled with care and greetings for the elderly. In the eyes of her neighbors, she is that rare and good daughter-in-law.
However, under this seemingly peaceful starry sky, there is an unknown tragic past hidden. Li Ting, Zhang Zijian's ex-wife, is fighting the disease alone. When Zhang Zijian learned that Li Ting had cancer, his heart felt like being hit by a heavy hammer, and he was in pain. He visited Li Ting in the hospital many times to cheer her up.
Unfortunately, on the afternoon of August 13, 2012, Li Ting failed to defeat the disease and closed her eyes forever. She was only 44 years old that year, and it was the most brilliant years of her life, but it withered so quickly, which made people sigh.
At Li Ting's funeral, the sky was overcast and drizzle continued. Zhang Zijian and his daughter Yiyi were heartbroken and burst into tears.
They lost a relative, a friend, and a former partner. Zhang Zijian and Fang Yun were also pushed to the forefront because of Li Ting's death, and all kinds of rumors and rumors came like a storm. But they chose to face it firmly and used practical actions to prove their innocence and true feelings.
Now, those difficult days are long gone. Zhang Zijian and Fang Yun went through the storm hand in hand and ushered in their happy life. They live a low-key and peaceful life, enjoying the warmth and tranquility of their family.
Over the years, Zhang Zijian has been working hard to build a career and create better living conditions for his family.
He has filmed many film and television dramas and won the recognition of the audience with his strength and talent. Perhaps for him, remarrying and marrying a good wife like Fang Yun is really the greatest luck in his life.
