1. Preface: A clear stream in the entertainment industry - Li Naiwen, a senior actor led by professionalism
In this dazzling and glitzy entertainment industry, a unique landscape has always been hidden in it - that is, those practitioners who regard the work of an actor as a serious and sacred profession, and devote themselves to pursuing and interpreting it.
Their pursuit of performing arts is like a crystal clear stream, surging continuously, and the shaping of the role is poured into endless sincerity and hard sweat The 48-year-old Li Naiwen is undoubtedly the leader in this group of people.
Looking back on his acting career in the past 20 years, although he has not been able to shine instantly like a meteor and lacks the opportunity to become popular, he has never deviated from his original intention of career. That enthusiasm for acting, like a warm sweet spring, nourishes his firm belief in the acting career, so that he has won high praise from his peers in the industry and warm applause from the audience.
The famous actor Jiang Wu once said with emotion, "As long as Naiwen is here, this drama will be stable!" and Song Dandan also sighed deeply, "Why can't Naiwen always become popular?" So far, although the public is full of curiosity about the senior actor's private life, his dedication and dedication to his career have still won people's respect and admiration from the bottom of their hearts.
Li Naiwen grew up in an opera family since he was a child, and his mother was a professional drama actor. When he was five years old, his family moved from Ningxia to Tianjin, and at a young age, he began to watch his mother perform various roles on the stage of the theater, showing her talent.
He is like his mother's little follower, full of a strong interest in his mother's every word and action, carefully observing and trying to imitate it.
Once, due to the temporary absence of young actors, the director had to temporarily decide to let Li Naiwen perform on stage. Surprisingly, this usually mischievous child actually performed very well, and his lines, actions, emotions and other aspects were flawless, which amazed everyone present.
Seeing the child's innocent love for the stage, his mother began to consciously cultivate him and encouraged him to apply for the Central Academy of Drama.
Although during the interview process, he was evaluated by the teacher as "lacking talent" and needed to be enrolled at his own expense, Li Naiwen did not flinch and resolutely chose to persevere. His mother's encouraging words gave him great motivation: "There is no need to worry about money, I will find a way to raise it with your father, and you just need to make the teacher regret his decision to recruit you as a self-financed student when you graduate."
The mother's spur is like a bright light, leading Li Naiwen to move forward firmly on the road of acting. Since then, he has worked harder and tirelessly to acquire knowledge, which eventually won the praise of his teachers and laid a solid foundation for future brilliant achievements!
His love for the stage has become an indispensable part of Li Naiwen's life, and it is also the source of motivation for him to keep moving forward.
2. Interlude: Li Naiwen is deeply involved in multiple scandals, why is it "difficult to calm down"? The root cause is actually due to excessive investment in the cause!
Li Naiwen is nearly half a hundred years old but still unmarried, which makes many viewers full of curiosity and imagination about his emotional world. He has had scandals with well-known actresses such as Wang Likun and Huang Man, but these news have not been confirmed.
Among them, the most eye-catching is the rumors between him and actress Yan Bingyan.
The two powerful actors have performed in the same frame in film and television works many times, and the interaction in and out of the play has made people deeply doubt whether they have an intimate relationship beyond ordinary friends.
Even during the filming of the kiss scene, Li Naiwen once seemed restrained and sophisticated, which made Yan Bingyan can't help but scold: "Don't you open your mouth when you kiss your girlfriend?" This straightforward sentence was like a wake-up call that woke up the young Li Naiwen.
In order to avoid suffering such an embarrassing situation again, Li Naiwen began to study the kissing scene more seriously, and even when they worked together again many years later, Yan Bingyan was full of praise for his kissing skills, saying that his "skills are exquisite, and my lips are swollen".
However, the reason why Li Naiwen has been caught in many scandals and has never been able to let go of it is because of his over-investment in the profession of actor. Although this is undoubtedly a great blessing for the crew, it is inevitably a little regrettable for the daily life of ordinary people.
3. Flashback: Under the spur of his mother, Li Naiwen, the "second generation of stars", came to prominence!
If you want to ask Li Naiwen what natural advantages he has, it is that he was born in a drama family. His mother was a veteran drama actress, and when Li Naiwen was five years old, the family moved from Ningxia to Tianjin.
At that time, he was still young, but he was already under the stage of the theater, witnessing his mother playing various roles on the stage, showing endless charm.
He is like his mother's little follower, full of curiosity about his mother's every word and action, and earnestly studying. Once, due to the temporary lack of young actors, the director decided to let Li Naiwen take the stage to replace him, who knew that this naughty and mischievous child on weekdays performed extremely well, with lines, actions, and emotions all missing, which made everyone present pay attention and marvel.
Seeing Li Naiwen's endless pure enthusiasm for the stage, his mother decided to cultivate this talent with her heart and encouraged him to move towards a higher goal, striving to be admitted to the Central Academy of Drama, a well-known art academy in China, for in-depth study.
Although during the interview process, Li Naiwen received a subtle evaluation from the teacher as "lacking a sense of agility", and at the same time had to bear the high tuition fees by himself, he firmly chose to move forward.
Faced with the embarrassment of the family's financial situation, Li Naiwen's mother resolutely stepped forward and became his guide and solid backing. She told him in a half-threatening and half-luring manner: "You don't need to worry about money, I will work with your father to solve it."
All you need to do is to leave the teacher who recruited you as a self-financed student to regret it when you graduate."
Mother's spur is like a powerful force, pushing Li Naiwen to shine on the road of acting. Inspired by this strength, he studied even harder during his time at the school and tried to understand the main points of knowledge imparted by each teacher.
When the day of graduation came, Li Naiwen finally realized his dream, and let the teacher who once recruited him as a self-financed student praise him, and sighed sincerely: "What a regret!"
His mother's encouragement has become the strongest driving force for Li Naiwen to pursue his career in his life. As early as when he was only five years old, he developed a strong interest in acting, and his mother's full support made this love deeply rooted in his heart, and it is still fresh after the baptism of the years.
Fourth, interlude: From the "big drama killer" to the gorgeous turn in the film and television field, Li Naiwen has overcome obstacles all the way
After graduation, Li Naiwen went through a rather difficult period. He is full of ambition and hopes to break into the world of drama, but whenever he participates in a drama project that is being prepared or has been launched, the play will always "die" for various reasons and cannot be staged smoothly.
As a result, he earned the title of "Big Drama Killer" among his classmates and industry insiders.
This nickname undoubtedly dealt a heavy blow to Li Naiwen. At first, he also tried to find various reasons to explain all this, such as whether it was due to bad luck. However, when similar situations recurred, he could no longer continue to deceive himself.
Fortunately, Li Naiwen did not give up his love for the stage because of this. He decisively turned to the field of film and television, and with his incomparable enthusiasm for acting, he has played many inconspicuous small roles in one TV series after another.
Although these roles often only have a few lines, Li Naiwen regards each performance as a rare opportunity to practice, sometimes devoting himself to studying acting skills, and sometimes trying to gain insight into the inner world of the characters.
In this way, Li Naiwen gradually emerged in the film industry and attracted the attention of many well-known directors. Back in 2007, director Feng Xiaogang discovered his talent in his classic film "Assembly Number" with a very deep supporting role.
Although it is only an inconspicuous small role, Li Naiwen has carefully carved every subtle expression change and every meticulous action processing, which makes Director Feng full of praise for him and gives him a very high evaluation! Since then, Li Naiwen's criteria for role selection have become more stringent, no matter whether the character character is in great contrast with himself, he can always perform in depth, showing the unique inner emotions of each role, so he has won the reputation of "uncrowned king".
Jiang Wu, Song Dandan and many other powerful actors expressed their sincere admiration and recognition for his acting skills. 5. Narrative: After 30 years of courage, Li Naiwen was finally highly praised by his peers and the audience.
Looking back on Li Naiwen's acting career, it can be said that it is full of twists and turns and challenges. From being ridiculed as a "big drama killer" to now successfully creating many excellent roles, he has broken through many difficulties step by step with his unwavering faith and perseverance, and finally won wide recognition from the industry and the audience.
Since 2007, under the wisdom of director Feng Xiaogang, after his first cry in "The Assembly", Li Naiwen began to write his own glorious chapter in the field of film and television. His roles cover a variety of genres, from heroic soldiers to erudite intellectuals, from revolutionary fighters to modern white-collar workers, and he has always been able to tap into the deep emotions and traits of his characters, which has made him deeply loved by the majority of directors.
Li Naiwen's dedication to every role can be called 100%. In 2021, he portrayed the role of Li Si in the historical masterpiece "Da Qin Fu", and he spoke in an elegant and smooth tone of vernacular lines, as if it was a sincere conversation between scholars and doctors.
The audience could not distinguish this man who had gone through vicissitudes from the image of a scholar, so he won the Huading Award for Best Supporting Actor.
However, for Lee, awards are not the only measure of achievement. He once said frankly: "The recognition of the audience and the affirmation of my peers are the biggest motivation and source of happiness for me to move forward."
Indeed, Li Naiwen's dedication and devotion to the acting career have long been highly praised by industry insiders, in the minds of many powerful actors, his joining is undoubtedly a strong guarantee for the quality of the work, this "uncrowned king"-like praise and affirmation, is the best reward for Li Naiwen's decades of sticking to his original intention and unremitting efforts.
