da wan news zhang chi and jiang long collaborated on many wonderful works in the "annual comedy competition". zhang chi, who has been learning peking opera since childhood, also paid tribute to his childhood peking opera skills through works such as "ten years of hard work behind the scenes", and performed a segment of "calling xiaofan" on the spot. coincidentally, the director of the movie "daocang" told zhang chi that he was attracted to zhang chi after watching the comedy competition. in an interview at noon on the 3rd, zhang chi said frankly that he was super excited when he read the script for the first time. many of the plot settings, character relationships, and scenes in the play are basically the same as when i was a child. "the screenwriter may have spied on my life."

zhang chi has contributed many unforgettable performances in the "annual comedy competition", including the role of chen liang in zhang yimou's "man jiang hong". in fact, zhang chi has been exposed to opera since childhood. zhang chi said frankly that he was a little hunchbacked when he was a child, so he was sent to learn dance. as a result, there were many people learning peking opera in the same dormitory. "they said that peking opera is about somersaults and folding arms, and you can make martial arts movies in the future. i think martial arts movies are too powerful for a child, so i went to find the teacher the next day and said, "teacher, i want to change to peking opera." the unified goal and expectation of all the children who learn opera is that i want to become a star, i want to practice my profession well, and everything tells you that you have to suffer so much just to become a star in the future. because we all learned opera in elementary school, we have not been exposed to any other information in society. we only know that i want to become a star, so we will be confused in this regard."

"everyone in their 20s will think that they will definitely become a star in the future. there are stars in every industry. i always feel that i can do it. when you grow up slowly and experience some things, you find that it seems that that thing is not the only goal. later, you will slowly accept yourself. if i don’t become a star, if i don’t become the best, will i not live? there will be a period of time when i feel very uncomfortable and confused, but i will still slowly make choices. i think people must choose to be themselves in the end." zhang chi said that growth is to break through the boundaries of youth, "eat well, sleep well, and live a down-to-earth life. my youth is still in the state of youth. when i was younger a few years ago, i felt that my youth was gone, and i felt that i didn’t know how to live my life. on the contrary, when i started to move gradually in the past few years, i can feel the surging emotions of my childhood, the freshness of a thing, and the desire to explore it. i think that thing is youth."

"teacher song xiaochuan has changed my opinion a lot, because i think teacher song should be quite dignified. maybe students who have studied opera will naturally feel afraid of opera teachers. but teacher song is a very open and interesting person. when we were shooting behind-the-scenes, i didn't dare to draw on the teacher's face. i thought that was a bit too funny, but teacher song was very open and cooperative. he was also very willing to interact with me. he also recognized that opera teachers are not as rigid as we imagined, and they may argue with you for no reason. this makes the characters very vivid, three-dimensional and real."

when talking about moving the work "ten years of hard work behind the scenes" to the variety show stage, presenting peking opera in a comedy way, and incorporating peking opera themes into the film this time, zhang chi was particularly touched. "the most important thing is to be down-to-earth. friends around you who are not studying this industry will feel that peking opera is far away, but we use comedy or this youth film to tell everyone that it is you, just like when i was a child, we all grew up that way, and we will also face various problems. when you grow up slowly and broaden your horizons a little bit, you will find that peking opera is very powerful, from appearance to singing to character creation and facial makeup, all the details are designed so beautifully, you will worship it." acting in the movie "daocang" reminds zhang chi of the last time he went on stage to sing lao sheng. "that play is called "xiao yao jin". you will miss yourself at that time. you may have forgotten those small details before filming this play. you will remember the smell of oil paint on your face and many details of the play that the teacher taught you to act."
