Zhang Zhen has a moving face. His firm eyes, straight nose, towering cheekbones, born like a face specially grown for the spotlight, and cold and deep voice are deeply transmitted to the hearts of viewers on the film screen(Review of Men's Uno Men's Records)[48]。
Zhang Zhen's performance is exquisite and layered, and his appearance and temperament can leave some unsatisfied points for the audience.(Review of Sina Entertainment)[49]。
From Luo Xiaohu, who is high spirited in Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, to the violent death row prisoner in Breath;From the ruthless and loyal Royal Guards in the Ming Dynasty in Embroidery Spring Sabre to Zhang Guoguo, the cold and hot working elite in the world in No Questions about the West and East;Every character of Zhang Zhen has a distinctive and unforgettable temperament, from the heroic boss Zha in "Taoist Descending the Mountain" to Tian Ji'an in "Assassin Nie Yinniang", who is both loved and hated.In the play, he is like a sword at night, sharp and cold. A cold face contains thousands of words, and there are still waters under the calm.After years of cultivation, he became more and more calm and calm outside the drama.But in his bones, he always seems to be the role he played when he first started his career. Xiao Si and Xiao Zhang, under the calm and indifferent appearance, are still young people who have not changed their original intention.(CCTV comments)[61]。
"In terms of temperament, Zhang Zhen is actually an actor with a delicate temperament, not a tough actor. When I didn't know him, I saw the" Guling Street Juvenile Murder Incident ", and the poster was a close-up of Zhang Zhen. Just a pair of eyes, so looking at you, wild and full of confusion."(Chen Kaige's comments)[61]
