In 1994, Romance of the Three Kingdoms on TV was in full swing and became a hot topic in the streets. Zhao Zilong, that heroic figure with white horse and silver spear, was deeply imprinted in the hearts of the audience. And it is actor Zhang Shan who gives life to this character.
Zhang Shan is a household name overnight because of Zhao Zilong. Just when people expect him to continue to shine on the screen, he quietly fades out of the public eye. Is it because he lost his enthusiasm for his acting career? Or is there something else?
In fact, Zhang Shan's disappearance is not because he is tired of the prosperity of showbiz, but because he has a more important responsibility-family. Out of the limelight, Zhang Shan is a husband, a son and a son-in-law.
When his wife needs to rely on, when his mother looks forward to company, and when his parents-in-law need to take care of him, he chooses to return to his family and shoulder the responsibility with a solid shoulder.
From "eating and drinking for nothing" to the legendary life at the peak of acting
When the 18-year-old stepped into the door of Chinese opera and became a classmate with he Zhengjun and others, who would have thought that this young man would write his own legend in the years to come?
On the campus of the Chinese opera, Zhang Shan has become the focus of public attention because of his outstanding talent and hard-working spirit. While other students are still worried about homework and exams, he has come to the fore on the big stage outside the school, and with the excellent performance of "Battlefield Star", he has won himself the golden key to show business.
However, life is always full of drama. After graduation, although Zhang Shan was assigned to the enviable Beijing Film Studio, the development of his career was not as smooth as he expected.
He took part in a lot of works, but he never became famous. At that time, he seemed to be at a low ebb in his life, with a boundless road ahead, not knowing where to go.
Just when Zhang Shan felt confused and helpless, the god of fate came quietly. Zhang Guangbei, a close friend he has known since childhood, has become not only his bosom friend, but also an important person in his career. Because of their common hobby-acting, they were admitted to Chinese opera together, experienced wind and rain together, and witnessed each other's growth and transformation together.
Zhang Guangbei's appearance seemed to inject new vitality into Zhang Shan's career. He used his own resources and connections to pave a path to success for Zhang Shan. Zhang Shan did not disappoint this expectation. With his own strength and hard work, he finally climbed to the peak of his career.
The Hero on the Horse: the inextricable relationship between Zhang Shan and Zhao Yun
When the trend of "Romance of the three Kingdoms" swept across the country, Zhang Shan also followed the role of "Zhao Yun". The image of valiant and valiant, white horse and silver gun has become a classic in the hearts of countless audiences.
Once, Zhao Yun's choice had been decided, but the director was in trouble for a seemingly simple reason-he couldn't ride a horse. You know, General Zhao is an immediate hero. If he doesn't ride a horse, how can he act?
At this moment, Zhang Guangbei came out. His eyes sparkled with admiration and trust for his good friend. He strongly recommended someone to the director." Zhang Shan, this brother of mine rides horses as naturally as he walks. Moreover, his image is simply Zhao Yun's reincarnation!"
The director was skeptical. After all, casting was not a child's play. But under Zhang Guangbei's insistence, Zhang Shan got the chance to audition. And this audition was thrilling. The director specially picked a fierce horse to see how strong Zhang Shan was.
Zhang Shan turned over and mounted his horse, moving skillfully and fluently, as if he were connected with the horses. Under the control of Zhang Shan, the fierce horse also became docile and obedient. The director looked straight in the eye and secretly praised, "this is what I want Zhao Yun!"
In this way, Zhang Shan successfully won the role of Zhao Yun with his own strength and the recommendation of his friends. And his performance did not disappoint everyone. After the Romance of the three Kingdoms was broadcast, he quickly became popular and became a household name.
But at the height of his career, Zhang Shan made an unexpected decision. Instead of continuing to strike while the iron is hot and working hard in the entertainment industry, he chose another path. This road may be full of unknowns and challenges, but Zhang Shan walked firmly and calmly.
True love is fearless and family is supreme.
Among the stars in the entertainment industry, Zhang Shan has become the focus of attention because of his excellent acting skills and handsome appearance. However, when his fans speculated about what kind of partner the handsome guy would choose, Zhang Shan unexpectedly held the hand of the ordinary-looking Chen Lida.
Chen Lida's brother, the famous comedian Chen Pace, also has reservations about the relationship. He was worried that Zhang Shan had taken a fancy to their family's connections and not really liked his sister. Therefore, he would often use his critical gaze to size up Zhang Shan, trying to find clues from his every move.
However, the power of love can never be measured by common sense. Zhang Shan and Chen Lida are such a couple who do not seem to match each other, but are actually affectionate. They not only came together, but also got married together. Over the years, Zhang Shan has always kept his promise to his family, and there has never been any scandal.
Unfortunately, the good times didn't last long. Chen Lida began to have health problems after giving birth to her daughter. She often felt unwell and even fainted on the spot in the worst case. After examination by the hospital, she was diagnosed with hyperthyroidism, asthma and other diseases.
In the face of family changes, Zhang Shan did not choose to escape. He resolutely put off all his work and went home to take care of his wife wholeheartedly.
Even if his wife's weight soared to nearly 200 jin due to illness and her temper became worse and worse, Zhang Shan never complained. He explained what is meant by "never give up" with his own practical actions.
When his father-in-law also fell ill, Zhang Shan shouldered the important task of taking care of the two old people. He took good care of his father-in-law as if he were his own father. Whenever the family appeared in public together, he always proudly introduced his wife and father-in-law, with a happy smile on his face.
Conclusion
In the limelight, Zhang Shan may make some people feel a little sorry, but who can tell the gains and losses of life? Take off his costume and return to life. He is the patron saint of the family, the arm of his wife, and a superhero in the eyes of his children.
The identity of an actor is only a stroke in his colorful life, and the role of a good husband and father is his proudest business card. You say, such a Zhang Shan, is not also a kind of success?
