Someone used "popularity" to define Zhang Jialing, and called her, , Zhao Benshan, and Li Xueqin the "Three Treasures of Northeast China" because they are all from Liaoning Tieling .
It’s just that Uncle Benshan wins the likes of the public with funny sketches, Li Xueqin became famous on the talk show stage, and Zhang Daling, who claims to be "Tieling Petroleum Princess", relied on a more grounded "chatter". Circle.
"chattered" on the stage of " Wonderful Talk ", and even "chattered" on the CCTV "two sessions" platform.
Zhang Ganling is too sturdy.
Andy Warhol once said this: Everyone has 15 minutes to become famous. The short video is accelerated by 15 minutes, and it may be able to make a person popular in 15 seconds. This sentence of
seems to be tailor-made for Zhang Ganling.
changed from an amateur to a "net celebrity." Zhang Ganling really broke through with a short video. She called this "fate's fault."
is undoubtedly a great "popularity". Fortunately, under the appearance of "red", what kind of life did this post-90s girl experience?
If the time is pulled back more than ten years ago, Zhang Ganling would never have imagined that one day she would stand on the stage of "Wonderful Flowers" and challenge a group of rigorous and experienced professional debaters without any stage fright.
When she was young, for a long time, she felt inferior because she was not good-looking enough.
Once saw an ugly-looking actor in a TV series, she asked her grandma: "Is this woman uglier than me?" Grandma replied casually, you two are not the same thing.
just finished her words, and the sensitive she immediately started crying. Grandma was terrified. She hurried over to comfort her: "I don’t look good and how good I am. We learn well and have a good culture. Who dares to look down on us." Who knows
, usually The grandfather, who rarely speaks, was anxious and scolded his grandma: "What you want to say is not that you can make up for it by studying, but whether she is good or not is not something that others can say. Who is good-looking in this world, and who is not good-looking, is not someone said. Forget it. The world is beautiful for each person. If you say that people are not good-looking, who are you?"
In her memory, this is the only time to see grandpa angry. These words also protected her small self-esteem to a certain extent. Until now, she still feels that Grandpa's words are too good.
In Zhang Daling's growth, grandpa is an indispensable guide.
, the grandfather of a high school teacher and civil servant, is a real literati in the eyes of Jialing. After the old man retired, he began to learn to write scripts, and he bought a lot of screenwriter books to learn how to figure it out, and Xiao Ganling also watched them.
Because of certain experiences, the grandfather in life was timid and reticent. He incorporated unspeakable experiences into the script, and worried that being seen by others would cause disaster, so he didn't dare to contribute or show it to others.
became the only reader when she was a teenager. "At that time, he would tell me what stories he wrote and what stories and feelings were behind them. I grew up with his creations. I think it's interesting to write a script."
In addition to writing scripts, grandpa also likes to take her to watch the disc, but worried that the intimate scenes in the movie will have a "bad effect" on his granddaughter, so he rents classic Hollywood movies with few intimate scenes to watch.
After discovering the "little secret" of grandpa, Zhang Daling ran to the video store to replenish all the discs that grandpa did not rent. At that time, she almost watched Hollywood and Hong Kong movies. All over again.
watched a lot, and she gradually became interested in the script of the movie.
Before the college entrance examination, sheShe expressed her wish to learn screenwriting with her family. The enlightened mother did not interfere, and said to her: "If you really like it, go for the exam. Let's study this." After she decided on her major, she had trouble choosing a school.
She wanted to test Central Academy of Drama and Beijing Film Academy, but her inferiority complex jumped out again. She felt that the students in these two schools were too good-looking, and she would look out of place when she entered. Film and television major of Xiamen University.
For the eighteen-year-old Zhang Ganling, this is the first time she has gotten so close to her dream.
During college, Zhang Daling's favorite thing to do was drinking. However, it didn't make much sense to drink alone. She invited two groups of drinkers, one from the Northeast fellow and the other from Xiamen University overseas students.
If you have wine and friends, isn't this kind of youthful life reckless? But Zhang Ganling, who looks humorous and cheerful, still suffers from the shadow of inferiority complex. Whenever she laughs at herself about her looks, if there are friends around her, she will immediately feel terribly uncomfortable.
It wasn't until I met the boyfriend of an international student, who is now my husband, that this knot was gradually resolved.
Once, she asked the other person what he liked about him. She thought he would say he likes her and humor. As a result, the upright Canadian guy answered her seriously: "I don't know you well enough, I mainly like you. , I like being small, with black hair and small eyes. You are just in my aesthetic point."
Zhang Jialingle is broken, and the long-term inferiority complex has been diluted a lot, and this is also here. Under the influence of foreign lads, she feels that whether she looks good or not is no longer a problem.
After graduating from university, the two decided to go to the UK for graduate school together. During this period, she also completed the life events of getting married and having children.
The expectation of her family is that she will continue her Ph.D. after graduation, and be a teacher in college after graduation, which is both decent and stable.
Zhang Ganling, who has always been obedient, worked hard towards this expectation. Even though she doesn't like doing academic research, there will always be a voice in her heart occasionally: Are these what she wants?
She also tried to work hard for her dream. During her Ph.D. application, she ran back to Beijing to find a screenwriter job. Unexpectedly, the salary was so low that she could hardly maintain enough food and clothing. She didn't want to worry her family, and she didn't want to be someone who "read all the books for nothing" in the eyes of others, so she had to admit her counsel and return to the established safest path.
just, inner struggles and contradictions still exist.
Speaking of making short videos, it originated from an accident. During the
epidemic, her "big fat daughter-in-law" husband developed fever and cough symptoms, but after going to the hospital, he did not receive any medical measures. Zhang Daling was so angry that he ran to d-yin to spit out.
did not expect that this video with neither editing nor sequence, which is completely in a disordered state, went viral, gaining millions of fans in less than half a year.
The Northeast people’s expressive desire for chatting and chatting was aroused. Anyway, during the epidemic, they can’t go out and stay at home and panic. It's better to find something to do.
After that, chattering on Douyin became what Zhang Ganling must do every day. The jokes created by cultural differences
brought a lot of inspiration to Zhang Daling. She used this as the theme of the video to share her transnational marriage and foreign life.
She talks about the fun of her Canadian husband and her parents who don’t understand English at all; she also complains about Canadian mother-in-law’s "stingy" and parenting views...
authentic Northeast dialect + a lot of rhyming sentences, with wild humor , Some netizens called her "the Elizabeth of rhyming."
Many people started to view her videos as cultural differences, but they couldn’t do without it.
Watching her video, there is a kind of intimacy of relatives and friends sitting across from your hometown chatting with you, very decompressed, plus Zhang Ganling is a Ph.D. These seemingly witty "chatters" also carry life's thinking. And wisdom, let people have something to gain while laughing.
"If I can, I can listen to her in the vernacular for half an hour without getting tired."
"One sentence and two sentences are metaphors, three sentences and five sentences rhyme, so I can say a girl!"
chasing her more and more people The number of fans on the platform has risen steadily, reaching several million in less than a year, and the highest number of video views once exceeded 50 million. In the Internet economy model, this is the most valuable commercial value.
chattering, she accidentally made herself red, even she herself did not expect "red" to come so easily. After
became popular, Zhang Daling's life has undergone great changes. The most direct change is that she is recognized by more people. The most important change is that she has become more courageous.
For her, making short videos was the first thing she thought of doing in her life. “I didn’t have the courage before. I always felt that if I wanted to do my own thing, I had to sacrifice a lot. I didn’t dare to give up the expectations of my family. "
In fact, long before she made Douyin, she wanted to talk about the talk show in the UK. She even thought about the content. She talked about the experience of a Chinese and a Canadian living in the UK, but she felt that there was a cultural collision. There is no audience in the UK, so I dare not try.
recorded a short video, let Zhang Daling open the window of self-expression in her heart, and also let her start more breakthrough attempts.
In August last year, she received an invitation from the "Wonderful Talk" program group in the UK, when she was pregnant with a second child. But she bid farewell to her husband and her four-year-old daughter, and flew back to Beijing from London with her pregnant belly alone. After
officially entered the recording of "Wonderful Flowers", she discovered that the stage was not as fun as she imagined. The strict competition system, competitive atmosphere, and high-density output are all huge challenges for her.
Moreover, stepping onto the stage also means accepting more public opinion feedback.
stood on the stage. She had experienced all kinds of doubts. Some netizens accused her of "mother is more expensive than her son", but she pretended to be dizzy and fled the "battlefield" if she couldn't argue.
especially in the issue of "Should Independent Women Should Receive Gifts", when she said, "You don't know if you don't have a womb," she called herself a lot of scolding. The sentence
exploded on the Internet, and there were constant denunciations of her in the barrage area and comment area. Some netizens even went to Weibo and sent private messages to scold her.
All the pressure was on her body, saying that being careless and undisturbed was false, but she persisted to the end and even accidentally dropped the old debater Huang Zhizhong .
She referred to the experience of participating in "Wonderful Flowers" as "a wonderful journey". Although this journey was very tiring and hard work, her gains were multifaceted, not just being promoted, but the most important thing was her He expressed the voice he wanted to convey to the women with his actions—“You are always the most important.”
Some time ago, Zhang Ganling was invited to talk to the host on the network platform of "Two Sessions You, Me, and Him".
When the host asked her, as a short video blogger, what advice she has for young people to start a self-media business, she sincerely expressed her thoughts:
"I encourage everyone to do it and do it when you have an idea. The more you are afraid of mistakes, it is better to do it right away. I encourage everyone to learn what you like, no matter what your future career is, the most important thing is your passion for life and curiosity about the world."
try more, just More possibilities.
because she herself came here.
She was eager to express, but because of lack of courage, she repeatedly stopped her desire. It was not until she completely opened herself in the short video creation and gained recognition that she determined the value of self-expression and had the possibility to move forward.
Now Zhang Daling still talks about her childhood appearance in the video, but she can't find any traces of inferiority at all. Instead, she has indestructible self-confidence. Why did
write Zhang Ganling?
I think she also represents a large part of ordinary girls, who come from ordinary families, have ordinary parents, and occasionally feel inferior to the lack of good looks, because they are afraid of letting down the expectations of their families, they look forward to them step by step Work hard for a stable life. Is a life like
bad? Neither is
. But when looking back on life, there will always be some regrets.
Therefore, I hope that every ordinary girl can have more courage to Zhang Daling. When you bravely take that step, you will find that doing what you like brings so much happiness. END
