Preface
In the big dye vat of the entertainment industry, how many people are unscrupulous in order to become famous, and how many people gradually lose themselves in the spotlight?
However, there are always some actors who don't rely on scandals to attract attention, don't rely on hype to make headlines, they just silently use their acting skills to speak and prove themselves with their works.
Li Naiwen is such a low-key, pragmatic and conscientious actor.
In the past 18 years, with his dedication and love for acting, he has grown step by step from a young actor who runs tricks to a powerful faction loved by the audience.
Today, let's walk into this indisputable acting school and appreciate his career in art.
Talent is beginning to appear, and dreams are budding
Li Naiwen was born in Ningxia in 1974 and grew up in a scholarly family.
His father is a talented literature lover, and his mother is a drama actress who graduated from Chinese opera.
Influenced by his family, Li Naiwen developed a strong interest in acting at a very young age.
In the 80s of the last century, Li Naiwen came to live in Tianjin with his mother.
The theater is his playground, and he often runs around the rehearsal hall, curious about everything on stage.
Sometimes, he will make a cameo appearance in a few lines, and the immature children's voice has become the most moving note in the crew.
In this way, under the guidance of his mother, Li Naiwen's acting dream quietly sprouted.
Pursue your own studies at your own expense and never give up
In 1992, 18-year-old Li Naiwen graduated from high school.
He resolutely chose to apply for the Central Academy of Drama, however, due to his abnormal performance, he passed by the dream school.
But Li Naiwen did not give up, he entered the Chinese opera as a self-funded student.
This out-of-pocket expense is a full four years.
The tuition fee is five times that of other students, and the living expenses are all earned by themselves.
In order not to increase the burden on his family, Li Naiwen used his spare time to look for performance opportunities everywhere to earn living expenses.
The cold came and the summer passed, and the four years passed quickly.
In 1997, Li Naiwen graduated from university.
He did not choose to rush into the film and television industry, but continued to hone on the drama stage.
At that time, he may have realized that an excellent actor must have solid stage skills.
So, he plunged headlong into the rehearsal hall and spent seven years honing his skills and polishing his performance.
Running the trick years, do not change the original intention
In order to accumulate acting experience, Li Naiwen began to play small roles in some film and television dramas.
In today's parlance, it's "running the show".
In this process, he missed his role because he was not familiar with the work process of the crew, which delayed the filming progress.
In the face of the crew's dissatisfaction, Li Naiwen was not discouraged, but secretly warned himself that he must always be prepared and not make such a low-level mistake again.
In this way, Li Naiwen tempered his acting skills on the drama stage, and at the same time explored experience in the film and television crew.
After running for more than three years, he gradually found the feeling of acting.
Slowly, some directors began to notice this young actor with clear eyes and delicate performances.
In 2003, Li Naiwen ushered in his first important opportunity.
He starred in the sitcom "Good Things Are Grinding", although there are not many scenes, but his comedy performance gives people a refreshing feeling.
It was in this drama that he and Yan Bingyan became acquainted, and the tacit performance between the two became a highlight of the crew.
The following year, Li Naiwen participated in the light comedy "What to Move, Don't Move Feelings", which further demonstrated his comedy talent.
"Assembly" was praised and showed its edge
2006 was the first peak of Li Naiwen's acting career.
This year, he participated in the movie "Assembly" directed by Feng Xiaogang.
In the film, he plays an inconspicuous demoman.
Although he didn't have many scenes, he played this role very well and left a deep impression.
In the film, he has a rivalry with Wang Baoqiang.
In the flames of war, the fate of the two grassroots ruffians is intertwined, and the joys and sorrows reflect the cruelty of war and the brilliance of human nature.
Li Naiwen played the helplessness and strength of the little people to the fullest, which made the audience cry.
The success of "Assembly Number" not only gave Li Naiwen a taste of the sweetness of acting, but also strengthened his determination to continue to follow the path of an actor.
脚踏实地筑梦，演绎人生百态
With the success of "Assembly", Li Naiwen's acting career has become smoother.
In the following ten years, he has created a series of impressive screen images with a high output of 3-4 works per year.
In 2007, in another film directed by Feng Xiaogang, "Assembly Number", he played a Kuomintang officer who went south to defect to the Kuomintang.
In order to create this complex character, Li Naiwen consulted a large number of historical materials during the civil war between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, and also deliberately learned the etiquette and customs of the Kuomintang army.
With his nuanced performance, he was once again appreciated by director Feng Xiaogang.
In 2011, Li Naiwen starred in the urban emotional drama "Marriage Nest", in which he played an architect who has a successful career but is not happy in his married life.
In order to get close to the character, he deliberately went to the construction site to experience life and observe the words and deeds of the workers.
This kind of dedication and hard work to performance makes people can't help but look at him with admiration.
In 2013, Li Naiwen played a physical education teacher in the family ethics drama "Little Dad".
In the play, he and the "cold-blooded businessman" played by the article staged a realistic version of the "godfather struggle".
In order to create this role, Li Naiwen recalled his high school physical education teachers and drew inspiration from them.
When the audience saw Li Naiwen's interpretation of this stern and funny physical education teacher, they all applauded it.
There are constant scandals, but he always sticks to his heart
On the way to fame, Li Naiwen will inevitably encounter some scandals.
In 2011, after the TV series "Wedding Nest" cooperated by him and Wang Likun was broadcast, the two went away because of the scandal of their love affair.
For a time, the entertainment page was full of their lace news.
Faced with the reporter's questioning, Li Naiwen just said lightly: "We are very good friends and work partners, scandals or something, just listen to it as a joke." "
Similar things have happened a lot in Li Naiwen's acting career.
For example, when he cooperated with Huang Man in "Distant Love", there were also scandals between the two.
But Li Naiwen never took this to heart, he always put his work first and devoted all his energy to shaping the role.
In fact, everyone in the circle knows that Li Naiwen has been married in a low-key manner many years ago, and he is a good husband who loves his wife very much.
He handed over all his income to his wife to take care of, and only kept some pocket money for himself to create small surprises in life for his wife.
In his heart, family always comes first, and acting is just a way for him to achieve his dreams.
And his relationship with Yan Bingyan has caused a lot of speculation.
The two have worked together many times, and because of their tacit performances and intimate interactions, they were mistaken by netizens as a loving couple.
But in fact, they are just like-minded friends, who appreciate and support each other in and out of the play.
Li Naiwen never took these scandals to heart, he always put his work first and devoted all his energy to shaping the role.
Don't forget the original intention and forge ahead
18 years have passed in a flash, and the once young teenager has grown into the backbone of the entertainment industry.
Looking back at Li Naiwen's acting career, he used perseverance and persistence to interpret the demeanor of an excellent actor.
From being admitted to Chinese opera at his own expense, to honing his acting skills, and then to emerging with his strength, every step Li Naiwen took has paved the way for his achievements today.
He does not blindly compare, does not deliberately invite credit, always maintains a pure heart, speaks with his works, and moves people's hearts with his acting skills.
Whether playing a soldier, a policeman, or an ordinary person, he can accurately grasp the character's heart and show the complex emotions of the character.
This kind of dedication and love for performance is the foundation of his foothold in the entertainment industry.
Under the temptation of Vanity Fair, Li Naiwen has always maintained a calm and calm.
He doesn't rely on scandals to get out of position, and he doesn't engage in embarrassing self-marketing, but puts his mind on his works.
He understands that the most important thing for an actor is to speak with his work and win the recognition of the audience.
Everything else is a floating cloud.
Now, Li Naiwen, who has passed the age of no doubt, is still exploring on the road of acting.
In June, he will join hands with Yan Bingyan again to present a new masterpiece "Splendid Mountains and Rivers" to the audience.
I believe that with their passionate interpretation, this drama will resonate with the audience again and bring us another audio-visual feast.

He uses perseverance and persistence to interpret the ideal appearance of an actor.
