Smiling like a flower, innocent, hard-working and motivated, humble and easy-going, this is the editor’s first impression of Xiao Zhan. He has an extremely good-looking face, which makes everyone think he can It is extremely easy to achieve success. In this era where looks are valued, having good looks seems to be a shortcut to success. Before getting to know Xiao Zhan too much, the editor actually thought the same way. Many people thought that Xiao Zhan was worthy of being the leading male protagonist as soon as he debuted. But what everyone doesn’t know is that there are many unknown things among them. Bitter years.

The bitter “black history” that I can’t bear to mention

Xiao Zhan, who just started acting, most of the roles he received were extras or guest appearances. He made a guest appearance in "Love Shuttle Boy" Boss Liang, who only appeared for a few minutes, was gentle and elegant, but left no impression on people; in "Monster Hunt 2", he transformed into a festive and cute little goblin, singing and dancing with a large group of people. The slightest sense of presence.

He was a bit fat in "Fight Breaking the Sphere", and he had not yet successfully lost weight at that time. Many people originally went to watch this TV series because of the starring role, Wu Lei, and very few people had an impression of Xiao Zhan. Even if he finally got a role with more scenes later, it was still a second-tier online drama with a rather "bloody" plot.

This web drama only reveals one characteristic from beginning to end, and that is "poor". The crew really took the word "saving money" to the extreme, and Xiao Zhan's character is naturally very "Jack Sue", the second son of a group, someone who shoulders the burden of family secrets, and someone who has super powers are all reflected in this drama, and they can be summed up in one word: "Thunder".

The turning point is coming, and the "face-swiping" mode is officially launched

2017's "His Royal Highness Wolf" is destined to leave a mark on Xiao Zhan's acting career. In this film In the play, Xiao Zhan's acting skills began to make great breakthroughs. As Xiao Zhan said in the interview, he realized for the first time how to act, how to face the camera, and how to communicate with rival actors. This drama allowed Xiao Zhan to slowly understand what acting is like.

But it is worth noting that it only took a year from the beginning of Xiao Zhan's acting to his appearance in "His Royal Highness Wolf". Such great progress in such a short period of time is due to his unremitting efforts. He worked hard. He was filming during the day and had to go back to take acting classes in the evening. After the class, he had to write down his feelings. There is no doubt that those years were difficult, but those years were also the most fulfilling. After that, he continued to hone his acting skills in "My Majesty the Emperor" and also appeared in "Amateur Agent" and "Celebrating More Than Years", but in "Amateur Agent" he was still a guest star.

Being a "big male protagonist" is no longer a dream

The broadcast of "Chen Qing Ling" made Xiao Zhan popular. His fans are everywhere. There is no doubt that Wei Wuxian is a complex character who is difficult to control, but Xiao Zhan played him vividly. Xiao Zhan's performance in "Chen Qing Ling" was recognized by many viewers. He was dressed in black and red clothes and smiled like a flower, setting off a craze in the hearts of many people.

Zhang Xiaofan, played by Xiao Zhan in "Zhu Xian", is kind-hearted and hardworking. Even if he is bullied by his master, he is grateful to him. Even if he becomes a demon, his kind heart remains unchanged. Although the movie "Zhu Xian" did not have a good reputation, Zhang Xiaofan played by Xiao Zhan was well received. A well-known film critic commented on Xiao Zhan's performance: "His maturity far exceeded expectations. He outlined the character's final darkening level, so that I didn't believe he was so young."

I believe his acting skills will be further improved in "Please Advice for the Rest of My Life" and "Douluo Dalu". Today, Xiao Zhan is often criticized for having too many resources, and is even ridiculed as the "Prince Goose." In fact, everything he has now is due to his own efforts, step by step, and it is impossible for him to do it every time. So lucky, just like after "Zhu Xian" was released, many people commented that it was a fan film. But Xiao Zhan still does not forget his original intention. He knows that the only way is to not respond and continue to work hard.

Xiao Zhan’s success is not accidental. He seizes every opportunity. He takes every role seriously. He took on "Chen Qing Ling" without being favored by anyone. and "Zhu Xian", even though others regard them as "poison cakes" and laugh at him for having no brains, he refuses to accept his fate. He works hard to show you, making you believe that those who work hard will eventually be rewarded.

At the recent Huading Awards, Xiao Zhan was nominated for the Best New Actor for "Chen Qing Ling". The full name of the Huading Awards is "China's Top 100 TV Series Satisfaction Survey", which can also be called " People's Public Reputation Award", the nominees are all good actors, and to be recognized by this award, it seems that Xiao Zhan has also conquered many people with his acting skills. Xiao Zhan deserves to have a better tomorrow.
