In the film and television works in the first half of 2021, Li Naiwen's participation degree can be called "high frequency", "On the Cliff", "Glory and Dreams", "Warm Taste" and several influential works have his presence, and in the movie "Perfect Victim" released on June 25, Li Naiwen will play the role of jiang feng, the captain of the criminal police.

In a recent interview with beijing youth daily "Entertainment", when asked whether Li Naiwen was tired of filming so intensively, Li Naiwen smiled: "How can someone play a night of mahjong and play a game of a night not be tired?" Because he is interested in playing mahjong and playing games, he likes it, he doesn't feel tired, and acting makes me enjoy it, so I don't feel tired. It is really quite happy that a person can do what he loves. ”

The topic of domestic violence was a big part of what drew me to this movie

In "The Perfect Victim", the painter Jiang Wendi was suddenly killed, which became the fuse of the serial unsolved case, and the people around her were also suspected of committing crimes, making the film full of many doubts. In the face of the complicated case, Jiang Feng, the criminal police captain played by Li Naiwen, was solved within ten days, thus staged a game of good and evil to find the murderer.

Li Naiwen said that this is a movie worth brushing twice, because there are many details set in the film, and the audience may be ignored when they watch it for the first time. "The cases in the film are very exciting, whether it is the murderer's crime or the police's solving, they are interlocked, it can be said that it is seamless." If it weren't for Jiang Feng, the 'axis man' played by me, this case might have been a dead end. ”

In addition to the brain-burning plot, what impressed Li Naiwen even more was the topic of domestic violence told in the film, "This is an important point that attracted me to star, and this film covers many social topics, such as domestic violence." The meticulous serial murder case in the film is to discover the truth behind the case through my perspective, and extend the harm caused by domestic violence to individuals and society. I think this movie will give the audience thinking, will make everyone think about what domestic violence brings us. ”

Li Naiwen said that domestic violence is a global topic and has great harm, and through this film, he hopes that everyone will minimize the harm to others and hurt themselves, "From this point of view, everyone in the film is a victim." ”

I don't want my character to steal the scene

For the criminal police captain Jiang Feng, who he plays, Li Naiwen describes it as an "axis", "This is not a derogatory word, but a positive word, and his axis is reflected in his persistence and his sensitive professionalism." This character is a very important clue throughout the film, and it is because of him that people discover a lot of things behind the murder, which is much more complicated than imagined. ”

Jiang Feng is embodied as an "axis" because of his respect for his professional ethics, which is a respectable and attitude that everyone should uphold in li Naiwen's view. "I'm an axis person, and so am the director, and we talk about it a lot because a detail is discussed until dawn."

Although he admired the role of Jiang Feng in his heart, Li Naiwen did not want to exaggerate him: "My requirements for myself are not too eye-catching, in this movie, the protagonist is a case, I am a case solver." So, I have some details to deal with, but I don't want these designs to steal the scene, I hope there is no sense of abruptness, let the audience have a stronger sense of substitution, and enter the play itself faster, rather than through personal charm. Of course, the audience will find out in the end that the role of Jiang Feng is quite cute, flesh and blood, but this impression is slowly formed with the development of the story, rather than as soon as I come up, I will wear a toad mirror, smoke a cigarette, wear a leather jacket, a handsome look, I don't want him to look different, his alternative should be his work attitude. ”

I haven't understood the actor's profession yet

Many people act and direct well, but Li Naiwen has no such idea: "I haven't understood the actor's profession yet." ”

Engaging in acting is a profession that Li Naiwen loves, which makes him feel happy, and for his profession, Li Naiwen said that he always has a sense of awe. "Your attitude toward your profession will also become the attitude of your profession to you, you love it, it loves you, you act with skill, and the audience will look at you with skill. What kind of actor you become, the key is how you know your profession, for me, it doesn't matter if you win the award, I hope that I will take it step by step, not to ask for how high to fly, but to ask for how far to go. ”

Many people say that actors are the symbol of the director, and Li Naiwen said that he does not reject this statement, but he must be a symbol with a soul. "I can't just put the punctuation and put it there, I have to be able to show personal charm and character charm, and how you grasp the balance between the two."

In Li Naiwen's view, the acting industry is also in the workplace, and it is necessary to cooperate with different directors and different opponents to "communicate and chat". "I act in dramas as well, different directors have different aesthetics, the final balance is the synchronization of our creative ideas, I express my ideas, but also as far as possible to understand the director's ideas, the two are best to be one."

Li Naiwen likes to work with directors who allow actors to play on their own, "Sometimes directors also feel surprised, there is too much uncertainty in literary and artistic creation, and trying various possibilities is also a sense of pleasure in creation." "What if there are directors who don't have that style? Li Naiwen replied: "There is no way, it is to respect the director." ”

After acting for so many years, Li Naiwen still modestly said that he should be responsible for his profession and do his job well. "I want to be exposed to a rich character, not a single one-sided symbolism, that's what I resist. I can do any type of subject, because the nutrients given are different, some people say that playing different roles and feeling different lives, I don't have such a high pursuit, but for my acting profession, this richness is obviously good for me. ”
