"August" explores Zhang's personal journey of resilience and self-healing following a challenging period marked by a cyber media storm in August 2021. The documentary captures nearly 20 days of Zhang's cycling trip from Shangri-La to Lhasa, featuring encounters with diverse landscapes and personal stories from the people he meets along the way.
Zhang described his experience during the filmmaking process: "A massive wave of public opinion suddenly swept in, fueled by false information and malicious distortions on the internet, shattering my career and personal life. I chose to bravely face everything and embarked on a self-healing journey."
The film has not only achieved high ratings but also received wide coverage from multiple media outlets, resonating deeply with audiences for its authentic portrayal of personal growth and recovery.
Alongside his directorial efforts, Zhang continues to thrive in his music career. The lead single from his upcoming third album, "Can You Hear Me," set for release on May 8th, promises a bold and avant-garde approach to composition. Additionally, his physical album "Datura" is scheduled for release on May 10th.
Zhang's recent resurgence in popularity follows a series of successful album releases and concerts across Asia, culminating in a concert in Hong Kong in February 2024 that drew nearly 10,000 attendees. His musical achievements have earned him a spot as the ninth most-streamed Chinese pop singer worldwide on Spotify last year.
