Of course, The Knockout can cause a wave of watching trends on the Internet, besides its unique theme, it is also inseparable from the wonderful interpretation of the actors in the play. Under the premise of a good plot design, the performances of the actors in the play can be said to be icing on the cake.
The drama gathered many powerful actors in the circle, such as Zhang Yi, Zhang Songwen, WU GANG, Li Yitong, etc. However, it is surprising that Zhang Yi, the Golden Rooster Award winner and the leading actor of the drama, did not win the first place in the performance ranking of actors selected by netizens.
In the end, Zhang Songwen, who plays the biggest villain in the play, won the championship in acting, and Zhang Songwen’s popularity on the Internet is even higher than that of Zhang Yi.
Gao Qiqiang was an honest man in the early stage, and he still had his own cognition when facing other people. In the later stage, because of the influence of the surrounding environment, he finally created his arrogant character and became the biggest villain in the play.
There is a big gap between the two people’s personalities before and after, and it is very difficult to grasp this sense of contrast, but Zhang Songwen’s performance can be said to be free and easy, accurately grasping the psychological changes of the characters in each period.
When Zhang Songwen filmed Gao Qiqiang’s news of his lover’s death, the details can be said to be textbook level. He just divided his crying into three parts, from silent crying to crying and then to heartbreak. His expression was painful and he kept pounding his chest with his hands. When he squatted down against the wall, he trembled and then collapsed to the ground. It is said that he was crying to the point of lack of oxygen, and he was still immersed in this scene until the director stopped, so it gave the audience a strong sense of substitution.
In the play, Gao Qiqiang "plays the piano" on the stool in the detention center. On the surface, it seems that he is imagining the beautiful sound of music in his mind. In fact, there is a mystery behind it. The shaking of his fingers is manipulating the chaotic situation outside, giving people the feeling that Gao Qiqiang is unfathomable.
Zhang Songwen’s performance, even with his eyes closed, can also be seen from the muscles of his face shaking, and the corners of his mouth twitched as if everything was in his eyes. The netizen’s evaluation of his performance is, "There can be so many plays when I see it for the first time without expression."
With the success of Gao Qiqiang, played by Zhang Songwen, on the Internet, a topic once again appeared on Weibo Hot Search, and some netizens said, "It’s not like acting to check Zhang Songwen."
In fact, the reason why netizens can say this is mainly because Zhang Songwen’s acting skills are so good. It’s not that an actor with such strength can’t show this effect unless he has experienced it personally. However, because the person who plays Gao Qiqiang is Zhang Songwen, netizens can tease him in this way.
Zhang Songwen said jokingly after learning that netizens had such a high evaluation of his acting skills, "Yesterday, I saw people setting off fireworks outside, and suddenly I heard someone shouting" Come here for a moment "behind me, and I almost ran away without running".
Some netizens asked whether the famous poison tongue in the entertainment circle was watching The Knockout, and the other party’s answer was "The performance of ode is the ceiling of the actor in China".
Zhang Songwen is one of the few actors who came out with a villain, and Gao Qiqiang, played by him, is also one of the most successful villains in domestic dramas. It can be said that villains are more popular than protagonists in this drama.
Zhang Songwen was born in Shaoguan, Guangdong Province in 1976. He graduated from the Performance Department of Beijing Film Academy and now works as a teacher of Nortel. I have rich experience in my debut for many years, but it is very powerful to say that I can be a teacher. I not only play by myself, but also teach others how to play, and I have to be a powerful person like him.
Zhang Songwen was rejected 800 times by the crew in the first three years after graduation. In order to survive in Beijing, he rented a bungalow in the suburbs of Beijing for a long time, grew his own vegetables, and lived a simple pastoral life when he was not filming.
Although he suffered many setbacks in order to perform, he persisted because he loved him and finally became a late bloomer at the age of 47. The entertainment circle is full of many flow actors who are paid handsomely but have no acting skills. By contrast, Zhang Songwen, who has not bought a house so far, makes netizens cry. Zhang Songwen has the ability but no fame, tearing off the fig leaf that the entertainment circle is manipulated by capital.
After watching The Knockout, netizens said, "I’m sorry, Zhang Yi, and I’ll choose Zhang Songwen this time." It can be seen that in the minds of netizens, the strength of the two is similar, and Zhang Songwen’s performance in this play is even better. Some people may say that it is because the characters are out of the circle, and whoever plays them is the same, but in fact, only Zhang Songwen can play the role of Gao Qiqiang.
According to Xu Jizhou, the director of The Knockout, the role of Gao Qiqiang was decided by Zhang Songwen at the beginning of casting, but because the two sides have not found a suitable opportunity to negotiate, but the shooting plan of the work can’t wait any longer, so other actors were decided first.
Later, when Zhang Songwen heard about it, he specially found a place to chat with him for a long time. Finally, because their understanding of the role was highly compatible, he chose to give up the actor who had already decided and choose Zhang Songwen again.
Zhang Songwen is professional and dedicated in the whole shooting process. Besides crying himself to lack of oxygen, he is even stricter than the director in his requirements for each scene. Just the scene in which he had dinner with An Xin, played by Zhang Yi, he ate six bowls and couldn’t walk when he stood up.

Zhang Songwen once said in an interview that the extremely low income of 99.5% actors in China has aroused the dissatisfaction of many netizens. What he said is only the inside story of this industry, and the resource allocation is very uneven.
I hope more directors and investors can see an actor who is as powerful as him but lacks opportunities, instead of blindly choosing small fresh meat without acting skills.
Do you like Zhang Songwen?
