"Liu Zhou Ji" is currently on the air. Zhang Chi plays the good friend of Cui Xingzhou (played by Zhang Wanyi), Zhennan Hou Zhao Quan. He seems to be an idle prince who is not doing his job, but he is very responsible at critical moments and is Cui Xingzhou's most reliable ally. Zhang Chi added a relaxed and happy atmosphere to the plot with his unique sense of humor, becoming an important comic actor in the drama.
In 2021, Zhang Chi entered the public eye by participating in the variety show "Annual Comedy Competition", and then participated in the movie "Man Jiang Hong", and appeared in the hit dramas "Hometown, Goodbye", "Spring Love" and "Celebrating More Years" Both seasons have impressive performances. In the past two years, he has been constantly exploring and feels that being recognized by the audience is one of the most important criteria for an actor.
In "The Story of the Willow Boat", Zhang Chi plays the role of Zhao Quan, the Marquis of Zhennan.
My favorite scene is to protect He Zhen's innocence
Zhang Chi said with a smile that he was also confused when he found out that he was selected to star in the ancient puppet "The Story of the Willow Boat". It was June and July last year. Zhang Chi suddenly entered a work window and kept meeting with crews and auditioning for scenes. When recording the audition footage for "The Story of the Willow Boat", he felt that the chance was low, but he didn't expect to get a reply very quickly. After reading the script, Zhang Chi felt that "Zhao Quan is a very happy person."
Usually when he gets a role, Zhang Chi will think of many scenes like "going through a movie" and constantly imagine in his mind what this character has experienced since childhood. . Zhang Chi believes that Zhao Quan's parents must be very open-minded and gave Zhao Quan a loose and tolerant space to grow up since he was a child. "I was also discussing an issue with the director at the time, which was that Zhao Quan's family, including himself, had values that were beyond the time."
Zhang Chi's favorite scene is when the He family wants to marry their daughter He Zhen to Zhao Quan. , drugged two people and locked them in a room. In order to prevent accidents, Zhao Quan first tied up He Zhen, then broke the porcelain cup and cut himself to stay awake. The next day, when the He family arrived, Zhao Quan changed his usual careless demeanor and said that he and He Zhen were innocent. If He Zhen was unhappy, he would marry her into the house with three letters and six etiquette. "I particularly like this scene, because Zhao Quan's words and deeds in this situation made the core of the character stand firm, and the whole character instantly became fuller."
Zhao Quan seems to be carefree, but in fact he is very responsible.
I felt like I could become friends with Zhang Wanyi in the first scene together.
In the play, Zhao Quan, the marquis played by Zhang Chi, and Cui Xingzhou, the prince played by Zhang Wanyi, are "bad friends" who grew up together. In the play, the two often Make fun and make people laugh. Many viewers said that what they loved most was the interaction between these two people.
It was the first time for Zhang Chi to collaborate with Zhang Wanyi. Unexpectedly, the two of them had an unexpected tacit understanding. "I have always felt that no one is better or worse in acting, because everyone has a different understanding of acting, just like making friends." , to see if the two people’s understandings can be closer.” When filming the first scene, Zhang Chi felt that he could become friends with Zhang Wanyi, because their understanding of the concept of performance, roles and character relationships were consistent. It was very comfortable to film together. After the two got to know each other, they would also improvise. For example, there was a scene where Cui Xingzhou was about to confess his identity to Liu Miantang, but was interrupted by Zhao Quan who suddenly arrived, "That scene , after I came in, the dialogue ended with only one or two sentences, but the director never shouted "click", and we kept acting. The part you see now is our improvised performance. "

Before the broadcast of "The Story of the Willow Boat", Zhang Chi had already harvested some masterpieces in the field of film and television dramas. Liu Feng, played in "Hometown, Safe and Sound", and Cui Ge, played in "Spring Love", both left a deep impression on the audience. Zhang Chi seems to have a miraculous ability. Under his interpretation, characters who were originally unlikable or had obvious shortcomings can gain praise and love from the audience.Zhang Chi feels that this is the advantage that comedy brings to him. In his opinion, comedy and humor can bring people closer together. Zhang Chi admitted that he once viewed "comedians" too narrowly. "The comedian I understand now is an actor who can make everyone happy when they see him." Ren Suxi once said to him, "There are endless merits in making people smile." Zhang Chi believes that the most important thing for an actor is the audience's approval, and everything else can be put aside later. "To be honest, when I first came out of "The Annual Comedy Competition", I was quite confident because I received a lot of positive reviews. But through the past two or three years of filming, I have met so many good actors and outstanding people in various types of work. "Today's relaxation is actually more of a "self-consistent" state than self-confidence.
