Ma Li, a legendary name. Behind this name, there is an extraordinary road of acting.
As the highest-grossing actress in the mainland, Ma Li has relied on her own strength and hard work to get to where she is today. But her starting point is not high, and she has even been looked down upon and humiliated.
Ma Li does not have the outstanding appearance of an ordinary actress, and it is purely by chance that her acting skills and comedic talents were discovered. However, Ma Li did not give up, and with extraordinary perseverance and fighting spirit, she reached the peak of success step by step.
Ma Li's acting career started on the drama stage. Due to the limitations of her appearance, Ma Li gave up her dream of becoming a big-screen actress and devoted herself to the drama industry instead.
She believes that the distance on the stage of the drama is not as close as in the movie, and she can use makeup and clothing to cover up the flaws of the appearance. But even in the drama industry, Ma Li was difficult to be reused at first, and could only play some tricks and small roles.
In 2005, Ma Li participated in the drama "The City is Full of Pyramids", only playing a small role. But in this play, Ma Li's acting talent was discovered by the well-known host He Jiong.
He Jiong saw Ma Li's explosive acting potential, and took the initiative to throw an olive branch to her and recommended her to join the Happy Twist Troupe.
In Happy Twist, Ma Li met another important Bole - Shen Teng. The sketches of the two were very popular with the audience, and Ma Li's comedic talent also bloomed at this time. Her collaboration with Shen Teng is gradually seen as a golden combination.
Subsequently, the Shen Ma group began to set foot on the big screen and launched a number of blockbuster comedy movies, including "Charlotte's Troubles" and "Iron Fist of Shame".
Ma Li has grown from a drama actress to a movie box office queen, and her cooperation with Shen Teng has played an important role in this process.
However, Ma Li's acting career was not all smooth sailing. Due to her frequent role as a harlequin, Ma Li once fell into the trouble of character labeling and suffered from depression.
In 2017, Ma Li and Shen Teng have confirmed their cooperation in the movie "Capital Successor", but in the end they were replaced, and the heroine was played by Song Yunhua. This is undoubtedly a heavy blow to Ma Li.
In the face of all kinds of difficulties and obstacles, Ma Li did not choose to escape, but continued to face them with a positive and optimistic attitude. Now, after reaching the peak of her career, Ma Li finally has the capital to fight against fate.
Some time ago, Ma Li and Shen Teng decided to remake the movie "The Richest Man in Xihong City", which was changed that year, which can be said to be a perfect compensation for the past.
On the other hand, Ma Li has repeatedly encountered injustices in her career, but she has not chosen to hate or resent others, but has always kept a low profile and focused on her work.
Even if other actors or capital forces suppressed her, Ma Li never made negative remarks publicly. This fully demonstrates her noble character.
Recently, Ma Li sparked controversy because of her acceptance speech at the award ceremony, and was accused of connotating Zhao Liying and being complacent. In this regard, we should not judge Ma Li lightly, but respect her choice.
Ma Li has always been low-key and not good at promoting herself, she just lamented that she can be recognized without packaging, and we should understand her difficult process, rather than think of something else.
Ma Li's success is the result of her own efforts, not anyone's gift. She doesn't need to rely on anyone's "influence", and she can have a place in the film and television industry with her strength alone.
We should not belittle Ma Li in order to stand in line, but should respect the dedication and struggle of each artist.
Mary's story teaches us that the world isn't always friendly to the average person, but we shouldn't be defeated or become cynical. Like Ma Li, if you maintain a kind, honest and hardworking heart, you will be able to overcome difficulties and lead to success.
Her legendary road is worth learning and looking up to for every struggler.
