Mention Xie Ning, there may be some viewers do not know him, but if you mention the Eight Precepts of the Pig in "Baolian Lantern", I believe that as long as you have watched this drama, you will definitely be impressed by him, and the fat appearance is memorable, and the actor of the Eight Precepts of the Pig is Xie Ning.
Xie Ning was born in Beijing, as an actor, in fact, he is not from the class, and even used to be a judo athlete, but he liked acting since he was a child, in order to chase his dreams, he ran the dragon set for more than 10 years.
To say that there is a "decent" small role, it is in 2001, he played the role of "coyote" in "Lü Bu and the Sable Cicada", although it was a small role, but for the then Xie Ning, it was also happy for a while.
In 2002, he played the role of "Batuu" in "Wolf Man", although the performance was still a little green, but his acting skills were increasing day by day. In the same year, the country's first cross-over drama "Love Through Time and Space" was officially released, and he also played a robber leader in it, even if it was only a few scenes, Xie Ning was happy to perform this role carefully.
But to say that the most classic and successful role he played is the Eight Precepts of the Pig in "Pauline Lamp".
In 2005, "Pauline Lantern" was officially released, and for a time it was also "popular all over Taiwan", attracting countless audiences. In addition to the story of Agarwood saving the mother has been widely circulated, the image of the chubby Pig Eight Precepts is also deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
Compared with the Eight Precepts of the Pig in "Journey to the West", the marshal of the canopy played by Xie Ning seems to have a little more "human touch", and this change also makes the audience feel the emotional resonance of the character more intuitively, and also allows everyone to know him more clearly, and to know the eight precepts of the pig who laughs and moves with meat.
In fact, in order to get this role, Xie Ning did not hesitate to directly gain nearly 60 pounds of weight, although due to the influence of the pig eight precepts themselves, the audience may not care too much about his own weight problem, but if you have seen his previous works, it is not difficult to find that he did gain more than a little.
Of course, his efforts have not been in vain, the audience also saw his "shining point" on the screen, although it is a clown, but that memory has always stayed in the hearts of many people, even to this day, I believe that some people still remember the stupid and humane Pig Eight Commandments.
But I don't know whether fate is tricking people or deliberately doing it. Since then, Xie Ning seems to have really "inseparable" from the role of "Eight Commandments of Pigs".
After "Baolian Lantern", 2006's "Magic Mobile Phone", and even "Baolian Lantern Prequel", 10 editions of "Journey to the West", etc., before and after a total of 5 film and television works related to the Eight Precepts of the Pig, it really became a professional household of the "Eight Precepts of the Pig".
Although the success of this image made him known overnight, sometimes it is not necessarily a good thing that people form a fixed impression of him.
Xie Ning's acting skills are beyond doubt, and it can be seen from starring in many martial arts dramas and xianxia dramas that his acting skills can never be formed in one day. From various small roles to supporting roles to the "head and face" of the character image, this change is also a person's efforts to progress.
But it is a pity that his other film and television works seem to be like stones sinking into the sea, and there are no more "wind waves".
After "Baolian Lantern", he also starred in "Sui and Tang Dynasties", "Legend of the Zodiac", "New Eagle Hero" and other film and television works, although these TV series were also hot for a while at the time, but the roles played by Xie Ning did not seem to impress people, or from the "Eight Precepts of the Pig", it seems to have "disappeared" in the film and television works, as if returning to Xie Ning in the period of running dragon sets.
The only ones that may still cause a slight ripple are the "Xuan Xian Qingyun Zhi" in recent years, or Mao Eighteen in Zhang Yishan's version of "Deer Ding".
The image in "Xuan Xian Qingyunzhi" was impressive at first sight, and I had to admire Xie Ning's acting skills without any reduction, but the image in the new version of "Deer Ding" was complained about by some netizens.
"Mao Eighteen's feelings were not shown at all."
In recent years, the roles that Xie Ning has received are also ordinary roles, and it seems that it is far away to return to the image of the "Eight Precepts of the Pig" that was once known to passers-by.
Some netizens even rumored that Xie Ning now has no drama to shoot, has fallen to the point of live broadcast crying, although I don't know if this rumor is true, but Xie Ning's character image, compared with the "peak" of that year, is indeed weakened a lot.
Sometimes, the "sunrise" of birth and the "sunset" of the sunset are often only one word apart, saying that it is not short, and it is not long.
People have to sigh the success or failure of "Brother Pig" Xie Ning, as if it happened overnight.
