When Zhang Yixing said in the latest interview that "the screen image is to be retained for a long time", this artist, who once stood at the top of the traffic pyramid, is tearing off the label engraved on him for ten years with his actions.

In the thank you audio released on 2012/0, he deliberately emphasized the timescale of "thirteen years" - debuting as an EXO member from 0.

到如今手握國家話劇院編製、主演電影累計票房破百億，這條被數據與掌聲鋪就的星途，此刻正迎來最劇烈的轉向。

People still clearly remember the "little sheep" who was at a loss after being snatched by Sun Honglei in "Extreme Challenge" in 2015 years, but few people noticed that he always wore headphones to repeatedly revise the arrangement between shooting.

This kind of almost paranoid competition continued until "A Good Show" in 2018 years, and when he was electrocuted on the big screen for the first time, he took the initiative to appear without makeup, and rolled on a desert island covered with scars. Director Huang Bo commented: "He has a ruthless look in his eyes that wants to crush and reshape himself. ”

This ruthlessness reaches new heights in "All or Nothing". In order to create the real state of programmer Pan Sheng staying up all night, he took the initiative to ask the makeup artist to aggravate the dark circles under his eyes, and when he was filming the scene where his hair was pulled, he really pulled off a lot of hair and didn't stop shouting.

Director Ning Hao revealed in an interview at the Berlin Film Festival: "There was a drowning scene where he shot 27 repeatedly, and his lips were purple when he came up, just to find the instinctive reaction of the moment of suffocation." ”

最終該片橫掃38億票房，豆瓣開分7.5的成績，讓業內開始用“演員”而非“愛豆”稱呼他。

More interesting than the box office figures is his confession during the Shanghai roadshow: "The traffic itself is meaningless, but if the value can be transmitted through the role, I am willing to bear this label for a longer time." ”

This kind of sober cognition began to take shape as early as 2023 years ago - when other top idol dramas gathered, he turned down the invitation to five romance dramas and rehearsed the drama "Dunhuang" at the National Theater for three months.

Producer Li Dong still remembers the silhouette of him bowing deeply to the thousand-year-old mural at the curtain call of the premiere, "It was a moment of transformation from an artist to an artist."

The pains of transformation are always with us. During the filming of "Sweeping the Black Storm", because he couldn't quickly enter the interrogation scene, he locked himself in the lounge and watched the documentary, forcing his eyes to be bloodshot;

In "Fishing Operation", there is a three-minute long shot in which he falls nineteen times on the deck of a fishing boat with a fever of 40 degrees.

These details were broken by Sun Honglei in a recent interview: "It is said that hard work is Yixing's personality, but who can 'act' outside the camera for ten years?" His success was inevitable. ”

Zhang Yixing, who is now standing at a new starting point, changed the name of the studio from "chromosome" to "Palace of Eternal Life". This imagery taken from "Song of Long Hatred" alludes to the "enduring value" he often talks about recently:

“觀眾二十年後再看我的作品，若能記住角色的掙扎與覺醒，才不枉費那些熬過的夜、流過的汗。”

When asked what he thought of the different circumstances of the "Four Returning Sons", he smiled and pointed to the newly pasted "Godfather" poster on the wall of the rehearsal hall: "Mario Puzo only started writing novels when he was 32 years old, didn't he?" ”

From a traffic miracle to an acting school, he has walked this road for ten years. Perhaps, as the line in "Dunhuang" predicts: "The ribbon of flying will eventually fade, but the scriptures in the cave can carve deeper lines in time." ”

When the new top performers are still competing for the hot search list, Zhang Yixing has set his sights further away - there is a screen life that lasts longer than data, and there is a heavier cultural weight than hot searches.
