From collapsed house idol to entertainment superstar

Ding Zhi's frequency of playing villains is actually a bit too high.

Needless to say, Zheng Zhi in "Peeping" is an extremely outstanding serial killer character. He Guozheng in the just-released "Cold War 2" is also a ruthless gangster who kills without blinking an eye. In "The Greedy Wolf" which just finished filming,

It's a thug in a suit.

Although in "Pursuit" he is a prisoner who is willing to sacrifice everything for his daughter, both his appearance and his early portrayal are full of villain temperament.

Even his first role, the bridge runner Daozi in "Eight Hundred", was actually a Shanghai gangster, not a good guy in the traditional sense.

So at the beginning, Ding Zhi was not particularly willing to play Zhang Dongsheng in "The Hidden Corner".

However, Chen Ke from Peach TV and director Li Wenfeng strongly urged him to play the role himself.

In fact, the meaning is very obvious, I just want to provide more insurance for this drama.

Ding Zhi's popularity and traffic are booming at this time. If this drama can be labeled as "Ding Zhi's second self-written and self-acted work", it will definitely have more gimmicks and be more popular than a simple "Ding Zhi screenwriter's work"

Audience expectations.

But now that it's coming, Ding Zhi will naturally be interested in this role.

As the main creator of the script, Ding Zhi, who has experienced everything in the dream space, indeed knows better than anyone else how to control the role of Zhang Dongsheng.

Zhang Dongsheng is different from all the villains played by Ding Zhi before.

He is not like the elite in the dark world like Gao Jin who is very skilled, nor is he like Zheng Zhi who is calm and composed, kills people like dogs and regards himself as the top of the food chain.

Zhang Dongsheng is essentially a person with low self-esteem.

He is also a typical pleasing personality, gentle, harmless to humans and animals, and even has a very low sense of existence.

For the sake of his wife Xu Jing, he gave up the opportunity to study for a PhD in Mathematics at Zhejiang University, left his hometown and came to Ningzhou to become a step-in son-in-law, working as an unregistered school worker in the Children's Palace.

His wife Xu Jing works in a tobacco company and her income is several times that of Zhang Dongsheng.

In a third-tier city like Ning City, there are only two professions that can be respected by others.

One is an iron rice bowl, the other is making a lot of money.

Zhang Dongsheng, on the other hand, does not occupy any of them.

At work, he was proud of mathematics, but he was not liked by the children. No one listened to his lectures seriously. In life, his father-in-law, mother-in-law, and wife all looked down upon him.

He lived without dignity.

However, he still goes to the bookstore to buy teaching aids in his spare time, and actively tutors studious children he doesn't know.

He will also draw Descartes' love in class, tell Descartes' love story, and tell the children that when faced with things, they can choose to believe in cruelty or in fairy tales.

In fact, the y-axis of the Cartesian coordinates seems to have opened a gap in Zhang Dongsheng's own heart.

The negative X-axis is cruelty, and the positive X-axis is fairy tale.

The marriage change with his wife Xu Jing caused Zhang Dongsheng's Cartesian coordinates to shift towards the cruel negative X-axis.

His first murder was when he pushed his father-in-law and mother-in-law off a cliff. Before that, he asked his father-in-law: Do I still have a chance?

In fact, that is also a question to ask yourself.

However, the answer of his father-in-law and mother-in-law pushed him into the abyss, so he reached out and pushed the other party into the abyss.

As a result, his wife Xu Jing was devastated by the death of her father-in-law and mother-in-law, and she never mentioned divorce again.

That was Zhang Dongsheng's happiest day.

That day, he was eating apples on the balcony, humming a tune, and doing stretching exercises, as if he had been relieved of a worry.

He was relieved that his life was returning to its original state as planned.

However, all this soon fell into disillusionment.

Because he discovered that his wife Xu Jing was cheating on her.

It turns out that this is the most important reason why the wife wants a divorce.

On the day Xu Jing moved out, he asked Xu Jing: "Do I still have a chance?"

Xu Jing was silent, and Zhang Dongsheng immediately felt sad, trying desperately to hold back like a helpless child, but he still started crying.

He didn't want to kill Xu Jing at all at first. Even if he knew that she had betrayed their feelings, he chose to tolerate it again and again, as long as Xu Jing could return to him.

Xu Jing's decision to leave became the last straw that broke Zhang Dongsheng's mind.

So he killed his wife Xu Jing, and Zhang Dongsheng's original connection with the world disappeared.

Ding Zhi gave out a paragraph in the script that goes like this.

After Zhang Dongsheng told the story of Descartes coordinates in class, Zhu Chaoyang caught up with Zhang Dongsheng and asked him whether he believed in reality or fairy tales.

He didn't answer.

But Zhang Dongsheng, who kills so many people and has so many lives on his hands throughout the whole drama, actually believes in fairy tales.

At least that's how it started.

That's why he had the naive idea of ​​leaving his hometown and following his wife to Ningzhou.

That's why after his wife cheated on her, he still held the foolish thought of "as long as you stay, I'll pretend nothing happened."

After killing Xu Jing, Zhang Dongsheng has given up the last tenderness of his life. His future goal in life is to live a peaceful life with several lives on his back.

The only obstacle is a few children.

Those kids took his murder video and wanted to blackmail him for 300,000 yuan.

However, he still retains a touch of warmth when it comes to his children.

When he bought a children's set meal for Pu Pu at the Golden Arches, the clerk said "pick one for your daughter" and chose the default color, and then gently chose a pink color.

He would take in Pu Pu and Yan Liang during typhoons and buy them many snacks.

After Pu Pu told him the use of 300,000 yuan, he began to sympathize with the three children again. Not only did he not get the money back, he also bought Pu Pu and Yan Liang tickets to go north.

He will make a wish "I hope everything can come back again" in front of Pupu's wishing bear.

However, after knowing that he had been deceived by a child again, his connection with the world completely collapsed.

So he completely became a crazy murderer who could not turn back.

However, when he faced his other self, Zhu Chaoyang, he would still use his own death to tell him: You can believe in fairy tales.

In fact, even though the script was written by Ding Zhi, he did a more detailed job description of the role of Zhang Dongsheng than any previous character.

Just because you understand, you can do more homework.

Zhang Dongsheng was actually a living person in his mind at this time.

A hateful, pitiful, terrible, and somewhat cute person.

But now, he is just "sending" the person in his mind to reality.

A murderer with a gap in his heart, who is cruel on one side and still believes in fairy tales on the other.
