Entertainment: The Path to Best Actor for Talented Actors

Wang Xueqi said with a smile.

"You know what, this kid's riding posture is really cool. Well, mainly because the horse is good-looking. He's not even as good-looking as me!"

Yu Haoming firmly denies that Zhang Ze is more handsome than him.

"Whoa~"

As they approached the film crew's camp, Zhang Ze slowed down.

Approaching Wang Xueqi, he smiled and said, "Old man, what do you think of my two horses?"

"What a fine horse! I never knew you had two such treasures hidden away!"

"Is this the legendary Akhal-Teke horse?"

Wang Xueqi took two steps forward and stood in front of Jin Meigui, touching her neck with his hand.

"Good eye! This is definitely an Akhal-Teke! The other one is a Thoroughbred."

"What a magnificent horse! It's absolutely gorgeous!" Wang Xueqi grinned.

"How about we run together?" Zhang Ze asked him to join his team.

As the emperor, Wang Xueqi was paired with an Arabian horse during filming.

During my time on set, I spent my free time getting to know the horse and riding it around whenever I had a spare moment.

"Okay, let's go for a walk together!"

As the lead actor, riding a horse on set is just a matter of a word for him.

Soon an assistant brought over the Arabian horse.

With the help of his assistant, Wang Xueqi mounted the horse.

Zhang Ze then switched to the body of the Grand Escort.

The two ran together into the distance.

"drive"

"drive"

Considering Wang Xueqi's age, Zhang Ze didn't run too fast, but stayed by the old man's side, keeping pace with him.

As the sun set, the two figures receded into the distance, eventually disappearing from sight after crossing a small hill.

After running for about a few kilometers, Wang Xueqi slowed down.

"Haha~ I can't keep up anymore, I'm too old!"

"It's extremely rare for someone your age to still be able to ride a horse!"

My greatest hope now is that when I'm 72, I can still ride a horse across this boundless grassland, just like you!

"Haha! I'm getting old. I don't even know if I'll still be able to ride next year. As people get older, they get worse every day!"

Wang Xueqi tugged on the reins and turned back.

Pointing with his riding crop to the distant herd of horses and the grassland, he said earnestly...

"Look how beautiful this grassland is! No wonder Zhu Di, even on his deathbed, insisted on personally leading an expedition to conquer this place."

"Only when I put myself in Zhu Di's shoes could I truly appreciate his strategic brilliance and his deep affection for the nation."

Hearing Wang Xueqi's words, Zhang Ze nodded, looking at the magnificent land before him from Zhu Zhanji's perspective.

He was completely absorbed in the role; at that moment, he felt like he was Emperor Zhu Zhanji of the Ming Dynasty!

Beside him was the Yongle Emperor of the Ming Dynasty.

"The emperor guards the nation's gates; the monarch dies for the state!"

There were no cowards among the emperors of the Ming Dynasty.

He thought of a line from Zhu Zhanji's dialogue.

"Many people will die before the sun sets today."

My final decree: If you see me fall from my horse, do not mourn, do not cease your charge.

Follow the military flag closely

Grip the spear

Wielding swords

We'll fight to the death!

"The sun, moon, mountains, and rivers will live on forever; the Ming Dynasty will live on forever!"

"Let's go! Time to go back! It was worth it to play Zhu Di once in my life!"

Wang Xueqi, riding on horseback, shouted with a smile.

Zhang Ze gently flicked the reins and followed behind Wang Xueqi.

There is a sense that Zhu Zhanji followed in his grandfather's footsteps, walking together towards the ends of the earth!

Wang Xueqi recited his lines while riding on horseback.

"What is that mountain at the end of the sky?"

"That should be Langjuxu Mountain, which the locals call Haierhan. It's where Huo Qubing sealed the Langjuxu Mountain!"

What happened to that mountain at the end of the day?

"I've never been to such a far place!"

"Life is so short, how can one not cherish such a beautiful land!"

Looking at Wang Xueqi's somewhat lonely figure, Zhang Ze couldn't tell whether he was the 68-year-old Zhu Di or the 72-year-old Wang Xueqi expressing his feelings at this moment.

"Yes! Life is so short!"

"The sun, moon, mountains, and rivers still stand; do not weep, please proceed with caution!"

I exercised a lot today and worked up a sweat!

Zhang Ze’s cousin, Dong Zhiqiang, had been working as Zhang Ze’s assistant for over a year. By the time Zhang Ze returned, the bathwater had already been prepared!

I went back to the RV and took a hot shower.

That felt so good!

……

In the blink of an eye, the crew had been filming in Inner Mongolia for more than a month.

Today is the day Zhang Ze finishes filming.

In front of him was a table with a cake on it that read, "Happy Wrap-up Day, Teacher Zhang Ze!"

Zhang Ze stood on a stage, holding a microphone, and spoke to the extras below.

"This is my first time playing an emperor. Beforehand, I was only thinking about how to play the role well. Please forgive me if there are any shortcomings in my performance!"

"You all kowtowed countless times to me for playing the emperor this time, and today I'm here to return the favor!"

Zhang Ze put the microphone aside, lifted his long robe, knelt down on both knees, and kowtowed to the extras below the stage.

Zhang Ze's gesture moved everyone present.

"Teacher Zhang Ze is a really good person! He truly respects us extras!"

"Why don't I feel any artificiality at all?"

Sincerity can be felt!

"It's our duty as extras to kneel, but his kneeling to us extras is a matter of professional ethics!"

"Teacher Zhang's portrayal of Zhu Zhanji was superb. I never expected him to be so good at period dramas! A good actor is truly exceptional!"

The extras in the audience felt respected.

"Well done, Teacher Zhang! We'll all be your fans from now on!"

Someone in the audience shouted!

After leaving the film set, the video of Zhang Ze kneeling back to the extras quickly became a hot topic on major online platforms.

Netizens admired Zhang Ze's actions.

Many people left comments below the video.

This actor's performance is both vivid and expressive, possessing a commanding yet restrained presence, and his demeanor is always dignified.

Actually, Zhang Ze's acting skills are undeniable. I have a feeling his acting range might be expanding again! I hope Zhang Ze can act in more period dramas; he looks really handsome in period costumes.

[Chen Daoming: You'll get used to it eventually. Over the years, I've...]

The kneeling ceremony is the highest form of etiquette in Chinese culture! It should be returned! It is a gesture of righteousness.

I don't like owing people anything, so I'll just kowtow to you in front of the screen!

Tang Guoqiang left the group chat while cursing...

This matter quickly became a phenomenon.

Many official accounts also reposted the video, praising Zhang Ze as an artist with professional ethics.

Soon after, the official account of the Communist Youth League of China also reposted and commented on the matter, highly praising Zhang Ze.

Zhang Ze gained a great deal of benefits from kneeling!

The Weibo account gained over a million followers in three days.

The impact of this incident is far from over.

A week later, Zhang Ze received an invitation to the CCTV Spring Festival Gala.

He could hardly believe it when he heard the news.

He's been in the industry for so many years, and this is his first time appearing on the Spring Festival Gala.

This is incredibly difficult!

"Hahaha! Honey, I'm going to be on the Spring Festival Gala!"

When they got home, Zhang Ze picked Zeng Lai up and carried him around twice with joy.

"Really? That's great!"

Although the quality of CCTV's Spring Festival Gala has not been as good as in previous years, it is still the most influential program.

Many artists still regard appearing on the Spring Festival Gala as a milestone in their lives.

You say you're very famous, but have you ever been on the Spring Festival Gala?

What? You've never been on it!

Sorry, but you're still not famous enough. How can you be considered famous if you've never even been on the Spring Festival Gala?

After receiving the invitation, Zhang Ze's team quickly responded to the CCTV Spring Festival Gala directing team and discussed the specific details with them.

CCTV's Spring Festival Gala places great emphasis on mystery; after Zhang Ze's participation was confirmed,

The first thing is to sign a confidentiality agreement with him.
