Zhang Yuanlong worked as a carpenter, a stalker and a sack carrier. 1979 was admitted to Nankai University with the first place in Inner Mongolia Arts. After graduation, he entered the Inner Mongolia Film Studio and filmed the TV series Summer, Little Busy in party member, party member Erlengma and other rural movies. On September 13, 2009, the TV series My Home is by the Yellow River directed by Zhang Yuanlong and starring Tong Lei started shooting in Togtoh, Inner Mongolia. This is another TV series that promotes traditional morality and reflects rural life.
In the early 1950s, Bird Dragon was born in Tuoketuo County, Inner Mongolia, which is the famous "Chilechuan". The Yellow River flows through here, and Zhang Yuanlong's home is in a village in the east of Hetao Plain. Zhang Yuanlong only graduated from primary school and went to learn carpentry. Known as a "Class 4 carpenter", he traveled in the society and worked as a stevedore in a sugar factory for four years. Although Zhang Yuanlong didn't go to middle school or high school, he loved reading. He said that his knowledge structure was chaotic. He read Das Kapital when he was twelve or thirteen, but he couldn't understand it and swallowed it. The newspaper that reads the most is the one wrapped in oil cake, and a palm-sized newspaper is also read with relish. When he sees his favorite book at work, he will discuss with others to pay for it. In this way, he read Four Great Classical Novels several times. One day, the little carpenter went to work at a teacher's house in the middle school attached to Teachers College. When he met a student who wanted to take the college entrance examination, he asked the teacher for advice. The little carpenter looked at the questions and added, "This question is too simple." When the teacher listens, will your little carpenter think this question is simple? The college entrance examination resumed 1979. Zhang Yuanlong, a carpenter, was admitted to the Chinese Department of Tianjin Nankai University with the highest score in Inner Mongolia.
After graduating from college, after many twists and turns, Zhang Yuanlong went to the literature room of Inner Mongolia Film Studio as an editor. He said, "Director Tian Zhuangzhuang is half his teacher. At that time, he came to the factory to shoot "Hunting Field Zasa" and began to learn from him on the spot, especially admiring his seriousness and hands-on. " In fact, Zhang Yuanlong's love for movies began in his childhood.
When Zhang Yuan Long was eight or nine years old, movies were often shown in the village. At that time, it was impossible for them to spend 35 cents on a movie ticket at home. He introduced that the movie was shown in his front yard, and you can listen to it when the sound comes. He painted his own movies, found many pieces of glass, and painted his own color movies. When the children were sitting in his house and playing war movies in the front yard, he imagined drawing according to comic books. Sometimes I really can't resist the temptation of movies. Zhang Yuanlong came up with a plan. Before people came to show the movie, he hid in the corner of the front yard early, on condition that he brought water to the children's home and asked them to agree to hide. On one occasion, Zhang Yuanlong hid in someone else's toilet. I didn't expect the toilet to be locked from the outside. He can only look out through the door. The face on the screen turned into a long strip, "like a cucumber ..." On that day, there was a costume film. Watching, he fell asleep. When he woke up, there was no one in the yard. It is dark outside. He was so scared that he burst into tears and got a beating when he went back. ...
1996' s 6-episode TV series "party member Erleng Ma" is a main theme TV series in which insiders give a thumbs-up when they mention it. It tells the story of an ordinary grass-roots party member doing practical things for farmers with simple realistic style, plain actor performance and authentic dialect dialogue. The play, starring the famous actor Gaowa Siqin, won the Golden Eagle Award, and Gaowa Siqin also won the Flying Award for the play. Director Zhang Yuanlong recalled that when he wanted to invite Gaowa Siqin to play the role of "Er Leng Ma", he made great efforts. At that time, Gaowa Siqin had just finished filming "The Old Man and the Dog" and returned to his Swiss home to have a rest. Zhang Yuanlong looked for her for more than a month, but couldn't find her. At that time, movies were already in recession and television was still in its infancy. Zhang Yuanlong finally received a phone call from Gao Wa, and the phone was connected. They talked for hours as soon as they talked. Zhang Yuanlong told Gao Wa this story, and they hit it off. Gao Wa has never appeared in TV series, and he still has some doubts about making TV series. Zhang Yuanlong encouraged her to give it a try, so Gaowa Siqin returned to China from Switzerland, went to Qingshuihe County, Inner Mongolia, and joined the crew of party member Erlengma.
Zhang Yuanlong's other main theme TV series "party member Zhu Jin is a little busy" is starred by the sketch actor Huang Hong, which is also the first TV series starring Huang Hong. It is a test for Huang Hong to let a comedian who is good at sketch creation and performance play an upright rural grassroots party member cadre. "Although Huang Hong didn't enter the role as quickly as Gao Wa, he was very smart, clever and thorough." In the play, Huang Hong shuttled back and forth on a dirt road on a motorcycle like a township cadre. Zhang Yuanlong thought it was more realistic to get a lot of dust on his head, so he blew a lot of dust on Huang Hong's ears, hair and face. Huang Hong soon understood that he would close his eyes the next time he filmed. "Come on, let's go!" A scene is finished, and he is finished like a clay sculpture. When watching the replay, he was shocked himself. At the beginning of this year, he directed the TV series "The Founders" directed by Kang, which reflected the oil crisis in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China. The play is starring Yu, the founder of the new China oil industry. Zhang Yuanlong praised Hou Yong as a good actor. "Playing a good man is a good thing! Don't bother the crew, be diligent. "
