As the saying goes, "The older a man gets, the more popular he gets." ”
Actors like Jin Dong, Hu Ge, Wang Kai and other actors in our country are also getting older and older, and their careers are getting better and better.
Although there are also many male artists who "are middle-aged and inevitably blessed", I have to admit that the proportion of men in the up-and-coming stars is still very large.
Because with the increase of age, insight, experience, courage and other aspects have also been improved, people standing there has an indescribable calmness.
However, it is still a little difficult for men to achieve "frozen age".
Men generally do not pay as much attention to maintenance as women, and the symptoms of aging such as sagging skin and wrinkles are more obvious.
However, South Korea has a recognized "frozen age male god".
He is Li Dongxu, who has attracted a large number of fans in "Ghosts" before.
Lee Was born in 1981 to a well-to-do family in Seoul, South Korea.
Judging from the photos of his childhood, at that time, he already had a star appearance, exquisite facial features, and elegant temperament.
When he was a child, Lee Dong-wook was very introverted, and although he felt that his life was boring and boring, he would not resist this state.
Simply put, he didn't rebel at all.
Following his identity as a student, he obediently went to school to study, and received a full attendance award in all schools.
Left Lee Dong Wook
After studying hard, he was admitted to the Department of Speech and Broadcasting Arts at Chubu University in Korea.
Now active on the screen, he was originally a model, because of the good conditions, tall body and perfect body proportions, so that the 18-year-old easily won the grand prize of the STAR DREAM model competition.
In 2003, Lee Dong Wook won the Rising Star Award at that year's Acting Awards for his participation in "Boomerang Trojan Horse".
In 2005, he collaborated with Lee Do-hae and Lee Joon-ki on "My Girl", and successfully became a first-line actor in idol dramas with the role of Xue Gongcan.
"My Girl" is Lee Dong-wook's first time as the protagonist, and it has a deep and special meaning for him.
Through this drama, he learned for the first time about the feeling and atmosphere of the Hallyu.
This classic Korean drama has also been remade in 5-6 countries and is now very popular.
This has laid a very solid foundation for the current Li Dongxu.
2008's "Sweet Life" made him remember it fondly. Because Li Dongxu had not been exposed to such subjects before, it made him a little distressed.
He was still very young, and with the mentality of "okay, then try", he was fearless and full of strength.
Although the final ratings were dismal, it was very meaningful to Li Dongxu himself.
"If I were to recommend that you watch your own TV series again now, I would choose Sweet Life."
In 2009, after completing the movie "Big Sauce", Lee Dong Wook went to military service.
Some artists have not become popular after military service, but some artists have completed their military service and found that the good days are behind.
Lee Dong Wook is the latter.
In 2014, after nine years, Li Dongxu collaborated with Li Duohai again on "The King of Hotels", which caused a memory killing.
In 2016, Kim Eun-sook, the screenwriter of "Ghosts", invited Lee Dong-wook to join as Wang Li, the messenger of the underworld.
When picking up "Ghosts", Li Dongxu was distressed for a long time. But from the result, this is indeed a very correct choice, showing everyone his new look.
The charm of Wang Li, the messenger of hades, is that he looks cold, but in fact has a warm heart.
This role made him very popular and praised at home and abroad, and Kong Liu was often ridiculed as "cp sense", which won the likes of many people.
"In the roles I have played, there are no favorite or disliked roles, and Wang Li, the messenger of the underworld, is a very memorable role in every sense." Li Dongxu said bluntly.
Since then, Li Dongxu's career can also be said to be rising step by step.
With actress Liu Renna's second "Touching the Heart", playing the introverted and reserved lawyer Quan Zhenglu, he was directly called "marry in situ" by a large group of fans.
Regarding the ratings of "Touching the Heart", Lee Dong-wook said that he hopes to be like the director's previous work "Why Is Secretary Kim Like That".
The next year immediately took over the thriller suspense drama "Others Are Hell".
In the play, he always calls Ren Shiquan "dear", which makes people get goosebumps.
The word "dear" and intonation are an expression of a loved one, but when used in a departure from the original situation, the audience will find it terrifying.
However, netizens have left messages saying: "Although Li Dongxu plays a villain, he is too handsome to be afraid at all." ”
There are also a lot of interesting things on the set.
Last year, he released a new drama "The Legend of the Nine-tailed Fox", which also attracted a large number of Chinese netizens to watch together.
In fact, when Li Dongxu first started acting, there was no agent or stylist.
Usually he used to take the bus with the staff to act, and at that time, there was no concept and standard of shooting until the end of the time, just blindly waiting in the car, when it was his turn, he went to act, and then blindly waited, and kept staying up late.
"As an actor, I often stay up late, and I stayed up for nearly ten days at the longest time."
At that time, he also went to Dongdaemun in South Korea with the costume team of the TV series to solicit sponsorship.
So hard days, what has been supporting him?
"Just like winning a full attendance award, honesty is important. No matter who it is, there will be a chance in life.
But depending on the degree of honesty, the size and order of opportunities will vary.
Of course, before that opportunity comes, we have to get through the very difficult stage and persevere, living well with the idea of 'an honest moment that shines even once,' He said in the interview.
After acting for more than twenty years, aside from the proportion of the role, the subject matter and the like, even once, he did not have the idea of "really simple".
"There are no simple characters, everything is difficult, but it will be fun to overcome the difficulties." He laughed as he spoke.
He has always wanted to do his own talk show, so he finally had the opportunity to make his own talk show "Lee Dong Wook Wants Talk"
In one episode, he even invited Park Ji-won, a member of South Korea's parliament.
Obviously, to be able to ask so many in-depth questions, Li Dongxu must have made a lot of preparations behind his back.
"It seems like a little bit more time to tell my story, and now I want to listen carefully to someone else's story." Lee Dong Wook answered the question "Why do you want to do a talk show".
In terms of love, he also has his own opinions.
In 2018, he and Pei Xiuzhi had a public relationship.
Once on the show, Li Dongxu disclosed his first love. In the second year of high school, because of shyness and conservatism, he did not treat the girl he liked honestly, and he ended his short and beautiful youth without even holding his hand.
In 2012, when Pei Xiuzhi participated in the variety show "Strong Heart", he directly said that the ideal type was Li Dongxu, and although the two successfully interacted later, the relationship was also maintained for a long time.
When asked, "The period of love is getting shorter and shorter, in order to increase mutual trust, which aspect needs to be paid the most attention to?" ”
Lee Said:
"Don't lie, this should be the most basic, if you have time, you have to contact often."
"I wanted to sneak out with my girlfriend behind my back to find my brother for a drink; this vacation was a week, lying that it was four days and three nights, and the rest of the time I wanted to play by myself." Lies like these can eventually unravel trust. ”
When asked what hobbies he usually has, he also answered his opinion truthfully.
"In fact, I don't have any special hobbies, only the only one is sports, because it is a profession that artists show to others, so I don't want to become lazy."
Nothing else is controlled by itself like the body, living in this world, and everything else is related to other people.
Nothing can be on your own, but you can rely on yourself to exercise and stay healthy. ”
Perhaps because of perennial sports, Li Dongxu, who is 40 years old this year, was said to "eat too much preservatives" and looked very young.
The director of the "Legend of the Nine-Tailed Fox" said: "Lee Dong-wook is an excellent actor who turns fantasy into reality."
In recent years, he has also frequently appeared on China's Weibo hot search.
I don't know if I am ready to come to China to develop? Hopefully he can get better and better.
