He graduated from the Central Academy of Drama and has been training on the drama stage for 10 years, from a small role that no one cares about to now becoming a powerful actor liked by the audience, his success is inseparable from his mother's teachings, and even more inseparable from the support of the actor's best friend.
Li Naiwen was born in Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region in 1974, his father is a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner, and his mother is a drama actor.
Father and mother are very busy with work, and when it comes to holidays, the parents' work time can't be adjusted, Li Naiwen follows his mother to the theater, his mother performs on stage, and Li Naiwen plays behind the scenes.
When Li Naiwen was five years old, it happened that the theater needed a small actor for the rehearsal program, Li Naiwen was young at the time, and he didn't know what acting was, so he thought acting was fun, he enthusiastically participated, and successfully completed his "first experience on stage", and at the same time, his first acting was praised and praised by his mother.
With his mother's praise and approval, Li Naiwen became interested in acting, and from then on, as long as the theater stage plays needed young actors, Li Naiwen must be one of them, just like that, Li Naiwen spent his happy childhood life in the theater.
In 1993, Li Naiwen applied for the Central Academy of Drama, but became a self-financed student because of the failure of the third exam.
Li Naiwen's mother often enlightened him and told him to wash: "There are many uncertainties in life, money is earned by people and spent by people, what is it to spend this money now, as long as you study hard in school, lay a solid foundation for acting, and earn the money back after joining the work." Li Naiwen listened to what his mother said, and his heart was relieved all of a sudden, and he slowly walked out of the shadow of the pressure in his heart.
Without the psychological burden, Li Naiwen put all his thoughts into learning acting, and he almost got full marks in every acting class and was affirmed by the teacher.
It's a pity that during his time in school, the large-scale drama he rehearsed was either because the subject matter was not good, or because the technology was not good, in short, it was not performed for various reasons, so he was ridiculed by his classmates as a "big drama killer".
Li Naiwen graduated from the Central Academy of Drama and entered the National Theater as a drama actor.
The mother told Li Naiwen in a serious voice: "Son, you see those famous flowers and strange grasses, they are all short-lived, flowers, bloom early and fail early, bloom late and fail late. You see that the holly tree is evergreen all year round, and everyone praises it, let's just make a holly tree, dedication in obscurity, no fame or profit, and dedicate the profession you have learned to the audience. What his mother said inspired Li Naiwen and gave him a new understanding of the profession of an actor.
In 1998, Li Naiwen finally waited for an opportunity to perform in a drama, and he played a toothbrush in the drama "Rhino in Love" directed by Meng Jinghui, which left the audience's initial impression. Since then, his performance on the drama stage has begun.
In order to enter the film and television industry, Li Naiwen starred in the movie "Who's Who is distressed" with zero pay, and played the role of a movie for the first time, often feeling frustrated that he couldn't find the camera, and doubted that he was only suitable for acting in dramas, not for being an actor.
The mother once again encouraged her son Li Naiwen, and Li Naiwen also groped for how to face the camera without a picture.
It is very fast for a person to correct his mistakes and shortcomings, Li Naiwen summed up his own set of experiences and quickly adapted to the performance in front of the camera.
In 2004, Li Naiwen waited for an opportunity to act in a TV series, and with the role in the TV series "What to Do, Don't Move Feelings", he opened up his popularity.
As an actor, with popularity, the acting company dares to sign a contract. In 2006, introduced by his friend Zhang Hanyu, Li Naiwen signed a contract with Feng Xiaogang's studio and participated in the movie "Assembly Number" directed by Feng Xiaogang, in which he played Lu Kuangou, who was seriously injured and humorously optimistic and finally died heroically, and then joined Huayi Brothers Film and Television Company.
Since Li Naiwen signed a contract with Huayi Brothers Film and Television Company, with the promotion of the company, Li Naiwen's film appointments have continued, and the roles in movies and TV series have been soft.
Li Naiwen has played many roles since he started filming, and each role has left a deep impression on the audience, and the audience also likes this kind of actor with acting skills but very low-key.
In addition to paying attention to and liking the role played by Li Naiwen, the audience will also pay attention to his love life. In the minds of the audience, what kind of girl can be worthy of a good man like Li Naiwen.
Li Naiwen is indeed a good actor and a good man, according to his best friend actress Zhu Yuanyuan: "Li Naiwen is more picky, ordinary girls can't get into his eyes, and girls who are more than 10 years younger than him, Li Naiwen disagrees." ”
Best friend Zhu Yuanyuan said this is true, Li Naiwen said in the talk show: He likes strong girls, he doesn't like girls who are much younger than himself, others introduce him to a young girlfriend, he first asked how old the woman's father is, if the girl's father is about the same age as Li Naiwen, or one or two years older than Li Naiwen, Li Naiwen will not agree. It can be seen that Li Naiwen is an actor with a very positive outlook, in such a chaotic situation in the entertainment industry, he never follows the crowd, and it is rare to be able to clean himself.
Li Naiwen was once rumored to have a relationship with actor Yan Bingyan, but in fact, this is all hype for movies and TV series.
Yan Bingyan is also a powerful actress, two years older than Li Naiwen, they have collaborated on many TV series, in which they all play husband and wife, according to Yan Bingyan: " The first time I cooperated with Li Naiwen, Li Naiwen didn't even know a kiss scene, there was a scene of intimacy between husband and wife in the play, the male protagonist took the initiative to kiss his wife, Li Naiwen forced his mouth up, and hit my mouth and chin very painfully, I didn't dare to say anything about Li Naiwen in person, and complained behind my back that Li Naiwen couldn't even have a kiss scene, and Li Naiwen was very embarrassed, and later Yan Bingyan knew that Li Naiwen had never been in love. ”
The two have cooperated more in the play, and the tacit understanding has also improved accordingly, so it is rumored that Li Naiwen and Yan Bingyan are in love. In the face of non-existent things, the two of them don't want to use this kind of thing to hype themselves, don't refute the rumors, don't explain, and let the rumors be self-defeating.
Li Naiwen, 50, who was married ten years ago, said that his wife was an outsider and did not want to make her personal life public, and it was inconvenient to reveal his wife's identity.
The secret of preservation between their husband and wife is that the husband should be "filial" to his wife and love his wife as his own heart.
Li Naiwen has played many roles since he started filming, he has played from the image of the village party secretary to the white-collar Zhang Mingyang, from the spy war drama to the ancient Li Si, different roles have left different impressions on the audience, he has been tepid, but it does not affect his love for acting, and he has been working hard.
In 2024, Li Naiwen will be honored to participate in the movie "Article 20" directed by Zhang Yimou is scheduled for the first day of the Lunar New Year.
