If you talk about the tough guy image on the screen in China, I believe you will list Zhang Fengyi, Hu Jun, Sun Honglei and other people, as early as the 1980s, actor Zhou Lijing was active in China's film and television industry, often starred in police and bandit film and television works, and with its unique temperament, often played the image of a tough guy who has endured hardships, is not willing to yield, and is strong and powerful, and can even be comparable to Zhou Runfa when he was young, and is deeply loved by the audience.
Although Zhou Lijing is a native of Shaoxing, Zhejiang, but his appearance is tall and mighty, angular, outstanding personality temperament, perseverance, rich manly masculine beauty, just stepped into the film and television industry, in the TV series "Garland Under the Mountain", as a starring role, starring Zhao Mengsheng, this drama was a great success, and Zhou Lijing also won the 2nd China Television Golden Eagle Award for Best Actor Award for his role.
At that time, Zhou Lijing was once known as the most handsome actor on the Chinese screen, just like Tang Guoqiang, Ma Xiaowei and others at that time.
In the 1980s and 1990s, it was a very active era of Zhou Lijing, Zhou Lijing also starred in the movies "Life", "Shorebrak", "The Escapee", "Love Return to Heron Island", "Gentleman's Revenge", "Desert Purple Ban", "Tiger Brother and Leopard Brother", "Pluto Action", "Gambler Out of the Mountain", "Artillery Major", "Blood Sacrifice Huangsha Town", "Sorrow Gunner" and other films. Adventure movies have become a unique landscape in the Chinese film culture of that era, these film themes are often accompanied by desolate deserts or deserted border passes, the environment is solemn and far away, and Zhou Lijing has become synonymous with tough guys and heroes in the audience's mind with his excellent interpretation in the film.
Zhou Lijing's works in the field of television dramas are also remarkable, although there are not many works. TV drama works such as "Legend of Shang Martingale" in 1996, "Thunder Vertical" in 2001, and "Big Golden Vein" in 2011 can still let the audience find the image of Zhou Lijing in the past from the performance in the play.
In recent years, Zhou Lijing has not participated in many works, and the drama road is basically based on literary drama, for this type of role, Zhou Lijing is also handy, showing superb performance skills.
However, in recent years, Zhou Lijing has rarely participated in film and television works, and has basically faded out of the film and television circle, mainly participating in film and television education. In any case, I also want to thank it for the classic scenes that it has shaped for a wide audience.
