1. In 1976, in a family of intellectuals in Ningxia, Li Naiwen fell to the ground. His father is a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner, and his mother is a professional drama actress who graduated from the Central Academy of Drama in 1960.
This family full of artistic atmosphere provides a rich soil for the growth of Xiao Li Naiwen. However, this lively and cute little boy has a "quirk" that causes headaches for his parents - he begs to go to kindergarten.
Every morning, the Li family will stage a "battle of wits and courage" between mother and son. Xiao Li Naiwen will do everything he can, from being coquettish and cute to pretending to be sick, just to avoid going to kindergarten.
Even though his father is a doctor, the little clever ghost still does not hesitate to take the risk of pretending to be sick, which shows the depth of his "resistance" to kindergarten. Li Naiwen's parents have a very good relationship and often go to the dance hall hand in hand to dance.
The naughty Li Naiwen always likes to follow him as a light bulb and disturb his parents' two-person world. The only trouble for this happy family is to send their youngest son to kindergarten every day.
Fate always likes to play jokes with people. When he was five years old, Li Naiwen's mother's troupe was rehearsing a new play, and there was a shortage of a five-year-old actor. Knowing her son Mo Ruomu, she had an idea and said to her son: "If you go to a drama, you don't need to go to kindergarten."
Second, this sentence immediately ignited Li Naiwen's enthusiasm, and he gladly accepted the role. Who would have thought that this impromptu decision would become a turning point in Li Naiwen's life.
On his first stage, Xiao Li Naiwen showed amazing acting talent. His lines are sonorous and powerful, his facial expressions and movements are just right, and even his movement is not bad at all. This unexpected surprise surprised all the staff, and also made Li Naiwen's mother see her son's future.
In this way, the young Li Naiwen became the "pillar" of the troupe and participated in four dramas successively. Although his dream at the time was to become a scientist, the seeds of fate had been quietly planted.
On the stage, Li Naiwen found unprecedented happiness and laid a solid foundation for his future acting career. This experience not only made Li Naiwen fall in love with acting, but also cultivated his sensitivity to the stage.
He will even point out the mistakes of the old actors, such as saying to Zuo Jie: "Uncle Zuo, you said the wrong lines again." This kind of talent and courage laid the groundwork for him to become an excellent actor in the future.
In 1993, with the encouragement of his mother, 17-year-old Li Naiwen resolutely applied for the Central Academy of Drama. With the stage experience accumulated in childhood and the innate acting talent, Li Naiwen successfully passed the first two rounds of exams.
3. Fate played a joke on him. In the third round of the exam, Li Naiwen did not perform dramas or sketches as usual, but boldly chose a piece of radio gymnastics. This unexpected decision almost made him miss out on Chinese opera, but fortunately, the examiner Gao Jingwen had a discerning eye and gave Li Naiwen a precious opportunity.
Li Naiwen, who happily stepped into the school gate, soon encountered a reality blow - he was the only self-financed student in the class. Other students only need to pay 700 yuan in tuition each semester, but Li Naiwen has to pay 5,000 yuan.
This is undoubtedly a significant burden for ordinary working families. Watching his parents save money to raise tuition for themselves, Li Naiwen felt both moved and guilty in his heart. His mother's words became the motivation for his struggle: "The reason why my parents are willing to give 5,000 yuan per semester is to make you better."
The only requirement is that when you graduate, you will be able to let your teachers know that it was the wrong decision to let you pay for it out of pocket. This sentence was deeply engraved in Li Naiwen's heart and became the driving force for his future struggle.
With this responsibility and expectation, Li Naiwen started his life as an "ascetic". He gave up almost all social activities and rarely attended the reunions and invitations of his classmates.
He devoted all his energy to the study of acting and practiced the basic skills. This dedication and hard work were not in vain, and four years later, Li Naiwen graduated with excellent grades and won the affirmation of the teachers.
Fourth, fate always seems to love to joke with Li Naiwen. During his time at the school, many of his works encountered setbacks one after another. Senior brother Chen Jianbin asked him to star in the TV series "Uncle Vanya", which was stopped as soon as it started; The graduation drama of their class could not be staged due to accidents caused by the three instructors one after another, becoming the only class in the history of Chinese opera that did not perform a graduation play.
As a fledgling, he looked young and immature in the theater, and his stage performance was not excellent. The minimum for a performance is only 50 yuan, and the maximum is only 200 yuan, and there are very few opportunities to go on stage.
In this way, Li Naiwen spent seven years of confusion with the financial support of his parents. Although he couldn't see the way forward, he still held on to his dream. These seven years seem uneventful, but they have accumulated profound stage experience for Li Naiwen and paved the way for his future success.
During this period, Li Naiwen met his own Bole, the experimental drama director Meng Jinghui. Meng Jinghui leads a group of young actors who love drama, including Li Naiwen, Duan Yihong and Wu Yue.
In pursuit of artistic ideals, Meng Jinghui even sold his house. They braved the hardships and hid in the TV factory to the Joint Bookstore, looking for rehearsal space everywhere. This group of young people doesn't care about how much they are paid, they just dedicate their youth to the drama stage.
Under the guidance of Meng Jinghui, Li Naiwen's acting talent has been fully released. The dramas they rehearsed gradually became popular with the audience, and there was even a grand queue of audiences who bought tickets.
This experience not only allowed Li Naiwen to regain his confidence, but also allowed him to emerge in the field of experimental drama, laying the foundation for his later entry into the film and television industry. Looking back on this period of time, Li Naiwen's eyes always flashed with gratitude and nostalgia.
5. He often said that it was this difficult but fulfilling time that shaped his dedication and love for the performing arts. This experience also made him understand that success is not achieved overnight, it takes time to precipitate and unremitting efforts.
From a young graduate to a rookie in experimental drama, Li Naiwen has completed his own transformation with his persistence and love. With his outstanding performance in experimental dramas, Li Naiwen gradually attracted the attention of the film and television industry.
He has participated in works such as "Costco Toto" and "What to Move, Don't Move Your Feelings". Although they are all supporting roles, Li Naiwen's performance left a deep impression on the audience. Especially in "What to Move, Don't Move Your Feelings", "Xiao Li Meidao" became the ideal partner in the minds of many women at that time.
Li Naiwen's performance attracted the attention of director Feng Xiaogang, and he soon signed a contract to become a member of Feng Xiaogang's company. This is undoubtedly an affirmation of Li Naiwen's strength, and it also opens a new door for his acting career.
What really made Li Naiwen famous was his performance in the TV series "Teeth of Love". In this drama, he and Yan Bingyan play a couple, and the emotional drama between the two impresses the audience.
Especially Li Naiwen's first kiss on the screen, although he felt embarrassed and uncomfortable because of his lack of experience, under the patient guidance of Yan Bingyan, he finally completed this bold performance.
Yan Bingyan saw Li Naiwen's embarrassment, so she generously taught on the spot and taught Li Naiwen how to complete the intimate scene. With her help, Li Naiwen not only overcame the embarrassment, but also performed the scene very vividly, allowing the audience to collectively "go up".
This cooperation not only improved Li Naiwen's acting skills, but also allowed him and Yan Bingyan to establish a deep friendship. The chemistry between the two in the show is so strong that many viewers hope they can be a couple in reality.
Sixth, the friendship established by the two in the crew has also continued, and they often meet for dinner and chat. Since then, Li Naiwen has participated in many well-known works, such as the demoman in "The Assembly", the bank manager in "Borrowed Gun", the half-cut Li in "Old Nine Gates", the blue sky fool in "If the Years Can Be Turned Back", the Switzerland medical representative in "I Am Not the God of Medicine", Wang Li in "Elite Lawyer", and Zhang Xiaoping in "Me and My Fathers".
Although most of them are supporting roles, every role is played by him perfectly, leaving a deep impression on the audience. Li Naiwen used his strength to prove that even a supporting role can leave an indelible mark in the hearts of the audience.
Each of his characters is lifelike and memorable. From an unknown drama actor to a high-profile powerful person on the screen, Li Naiwen's transformation is not only his personal growth, but also his interpretation and adherence to the profession of actor.
In the vanity fair of the entertainment industry, Li Naiwen has always maintained his original intention. He doesn't bother to use scandals or hype to boost his popularity, instead focusing on character building.
This professional attitude has won the respect of his peers in the circle, and has also won him the reputation of "Golden Retriever among People". Li Naiwen once said: "Being able to call my name, but not remembering my role, is the biggest frustration as an actor." "
This sentence vividly interprets his understanding of the profession of actor. In his opinion, the value of an actor does not lie in the size of his personal fame, but in his ability to create a memorable role.
It is this kind of professional ethics that makes Li Naiwen always stand up and clarify as soon as possible in the face of scandals. Whether it was an affair with Yan Bingyan, Huang Man or Yang Ting, he did not hesitate to deny it, for fear of affecting the woman's reputation.
Seventh, this kind of character of thinking about others highlights Li Naiwen's gentlemanly demeanor. Li Naiwen rarely participates in variety shows or conducts commercial activities. He believes that showing too much of his private life will consume the actor's sense of mystery and affect the audience's sense of substitution for the character.
His work ethic is to accurately shape the character and build a character image that fits the script. This kind of persistence makes him seem a little "alternative" in the entertainment industry, but it is this persistence that makes each of his roles extraordinarily vivid.
Whether male or female, Li Naiwen can become good friends with each other. When he was in school, Li Naiwen, Zhu Yuanyuan, and Xin Baiqing formed the Chinese opera "Little Tiger Team". He is the male best friend of the female classmates and a good brother of the male classmates.
This popular personality has earned him the reputation of "the golden retriever of people", and just like the golden retriever, people feel warm and affectionate. Over the past 18 years, Li Naiwen has been working silently on the road of supporting roles.
From the demoman in "Assembly", to the bank manager in "Borrowed Gun", to the Switzerland medical representative in "I Am Not the God of Medicine", Li Naiwen used his own strength to interpret what it means to "play a supporting role, and the protagonist is not embarrassed".
In "Me and My Fathers", Zhang Xiaoping played by Li Naiwen is even more memorable to the audience. He portrays an ordinary little person as real and touching, showing the greatness and ordinariness of the little person.
This persistent pursuit of the role has allowed Li Naiwen to gradually grow into a powerful actor known as "both virtue and art". Li Naiwen is in awe of the profession of actor.
What he cares about is not whether he is popular or not, but whether the characters are popular or not. He believes that it is his duty to make the characters alive and popular. This kind of dedication and dedication to performing arts has won Li Naiwen wide respect in the entertainment industry.
8. Just when Li Naiwen's career was booming, his love life became a mystery. The 47-year-old Li Naiwen is still unmarried, which makes many fans who care about him feel puzzled and worried.
Some speculate that he may have neglected his relationship because he was too busy with work, while others believe that he may have had an unknown relationship experience. For these speculations, Li Naiwen has always remained silent.
He seems to prefer to use his work to communicate with the audience rather than attract attention through his private life. This attitude also made his marital status an eternal mystery.
Despite this, Li Naiwen still maintains his love and focus on acting. "I want the audience to remember every role I've played, not just my name," he said. "
This sentence is not only his heart, but also the best interpretation of his insistence on playing a supporting role in the past 18 years. Today's Li Naiwen, although he is not popular, he interprets what a real actor is in his own way.
In this impetuous entertainment industry, he is like a clear stream, winning the respect of the audience and peers with his strength and integrity. Whether it is an 18-year supporting career or a 47-year-old marriage mystery, it constitutes Li Naiwen's unique life trajectory, and it also allows us to see a real and charming actor.
