Speaking of the name Ning Li, everyone may be relatively unfamiliar, but when it comes to Li Toyota, who "reverse smoking" in "Undocumented Crimes", Zhang Chao, who planned the subway body dumping case in "The Silent Truth", and Zhang Jinglin, who has a human face and a beast heart in "The Hidden Corner". You will suddenly realize that the prisoner who has been interrogated in prison is Ning Li. In the latest TV series "Sweeping The Black Storm", he played Ma Shuai, the leader of the criminal and evil forces, who directly ate a seafood dinner in the prison room, even if he encountered the situation of forced entry by the central supervision group, he also randomly broke the little thumb to create injuries and illnesses to avoid being interrogated.
Why is ning li addicted to every villain? Because he is an old drama bone who has been acting for thirty years? Or is it because he is a senior student at the Shanghai Theater Academy and the University of Minnesota? Or is it because of his rich life experience that makes it easier to figure out the roles and details?
Ning Li was born in Beijing to an engineer father and a doctor to a doctor. When he was a teenager, because of a special period, he had to go to the countryside to go to Hefei City, Anhui Province, and the life of a person made the young Ning Li completely liberate his nature, became fascinated by the hottest break dance at that time, and often forgot to go to school exams in order to dance. Fortunately, the next year, the Shanghai Theater Academy went to the local enrollment, Ning Li's newborn calf was not afraid of tigers, and with a fairy tale, a set of broadcast gymnastics and a singing and dancing performance of the song "A Fire in Winter", he passed three art exams and successfully joined the Shanghai Theater Academy.
Ning Li, who has just entered the Shanghai Theater Academy, is still ignorant of acting, and will only imitate the actor's movements and demeanor through the mirror alone. After the guidance of the drama teacher, he understood that the real performance is to imitate life, go deep into the grassroots frontline to experience life, observe the living conditions of various characters, and then analyze their psychological changes, in order to be more vivid in the process of performance.
In the 1990s, the graduates of the Shanghai Theater Academy were still in the era of package distribution, so Ning Li did not have to take the civil service exam and could go to work at the Shanghai People's Art Theater as soon as he graduated. Because the theater has a large number of works that lack actors, all Ning Li debuted as a starring role, and even played with artists such as Zhu Xu and Wu Yigong, shooting well-known works such as "The Legend of Xiaopudong" and "Que Li Renjia". Suddenly, a large number of praise made Ning Li's self-confidence burst, coupled with the rise of the trend of going abroad at that time, Ning Li gave up the company's good treatment and resolutely went to the United States.
Ning Li, who longed for American life, felt a huge gap when he got off the plane, and whether the quality of life was improved or decreased, even the most basic oral communication became a problem. In order to maintain the cost of living, Ning Li had to work in the United States with low thresholds, such as housing agency, jewelry appraisal and translation training, and in the face of the formal employment opportunities of the Federal Post Office in the United States, this "iron rice bowl" that many people dreamed of made Ning Li very hesitant, on the one hand, he saw a worry-free life, on the other hand, he was thinking back to his original intention of coming to the United States.
In the end, Ning Li still turned down the job, because he suddenly found that he was still interested in acting after so many job attempts in the United States, so he went to the University of Minnesota in 2000 to study filmmaking. Even though the temperature in Minnesota is more than ten degrees below zero in the winter, Ning Li, who left for school at 6 o'clock in the morning, still happily squeaks his feet on the snow, because the love of dreams can withstand the cold of the world, even if it is worth giving everything.
Ning Li, who insists on his dream, is certainly very touching, but reality does not give him a chance. Ning Li, who graduated from college, faced the problem of unemployment, and many times he could only receive scattered jobs such as audio and video recordings, and even the only thing related to film and television was to go to the cinema to engage in screening work. This did not affect Ning Li's mood, or he has been observing the small details of life, and from time to time he also shoots some works to make a living. It was not until 2007 that Ning Li, who returned to China to develop, felt a real gap, compared with the situation that once needed to choose a good script to star, and now the door-to-door interview has been repeatedly rejected. No one in the industry has ever seen this "newcomer" who is close to fifty years old, let alone given the opportunity to try. This can't help but make Ning Li feel that although going to school is a way to approach your dreams, it does not mean that you can make a living after graduation.
At this moment of career crisis, it was his friend Du Cailing who helped Ning Li and sent him an invitation to the web drama "Undocumented Crime". Ning Li, who has nowhere to release his martial arts, finally waited for the opportunity, this time he forgot to eat and sleep, took the initiative to choose the role of "Li Toyota", carefully pondered the life state of the characters, analyzed the psychological motivations of the characters, and finally turned popular with the image of the perverted murderer in the web drama "Undocumented Crimes". Ning Li created many classic pictures in this drama, such as "reverse smoking", eating chicken legs and killing people by the way, and fighting in groups and spitting out ears. Many people who have watched this drama still dare not brush it twice, and more netizens commented that it kills people such as picking melons, and the northeast is my uncle.
Ning Li especially enjoys the feeling of being an actor and being devoted to the drama, and even more bluntly said in the interview that this is the pleasure and comfort brought to him by art, and he also hopes to bring this feeling to the audience as well. As Ning Li's favorite lyrics do — The love you take equals the love you make, you get as much love as you create, and as much indifference as you get, you release as much indifference as you want.
Ning Li is not born a villain to act well, but he observes life carefully enough and releases the real inner thoughts of the characters through performance, so each role played by Ning Li is very personal. Therefore, Ah Huan is more looking forward to what kind of fireworks can collide with another "social big brother" Sun Honglei in his latest work "Sweeping Black Storm", let us wait and see.
