Seeing Li Bin in "Actors Please Take Place", the first reaction was: It is Lu Xiaoqian in "Magic Mobile Phone".
Seeing the introduction video again, I remembered: Yes, I also acted in "Seventeen-year-old Bicycle", and the one that Gao Yuanyuan cooperated with.
Anyone who knows more will know that he won the Berlin Film Festival Best Newcomer Award for this film.
What else is coming? It's too hard to be human.
This is probably the public's general impression of Li Bin.
But no matter what the previous works were, coming to this show with the slogan of "tearing off the label" is to rely on acting skills.
Li Bin and Jin Jing teamed up to perform "Dear", playing Han Dezhong, who searched for his missing son for six years without success, and learned that his wife was pregnant.
The feeling of the first time, how to say it, in the words of the netizen bullet screen, is "it is easy to let people into the play."
Director Chen Kaige also did not skimp on his praise.
From turning around before entering the door, looking at the design of the other party before talking to his wife, to the fierceness and firmness of playing the voice over and over again, to the collapse of kneeling in front of his wife and pleading "not to find", all reflect the skill of an actor.
Although Guo Jingming chose Jin Jing in the end, this scene let us see Li Bin's acting skills.
Search for Li Bin's information, born in 1982, at the age of 19 won the award at the Berlin Film Festival, needless to say, in 2005's "Qinghong", Wang Xiaoshuai once again used him as the film star, and also let him get the cannes International Film Festival film emperor nomination.
Later, the "Magic Mobile Phone" starring in 2008 made it gain a large number of fans.
But unlike the actors in the entertainment industry who run the dragon set in obscurity and finally turn over after decades of climbing and rolling, Li Bin is more like standing on a high place very early, and then stagnating, watching the people behind catch up step by step and helpless, gradually being forgotten by people, and the acting career has gone downhill.
In his own words, "twenty years of ups and downs", there is no sun.
How can an actor whose acting skills have been recognized by Chen Kaige have not developed?
First, follow-up resources and opportunities have not kept up.
At the age of 19, he stepped onto the red carpet of the Berlin Film Festival, which was a high starting point for Li Bin, including "Kara is a Dog" with Ge You, "Contract Father and Son" with Li Xuejian, and "Qinghong" with Gao Yuanyuan again, which are all good resources.
But behind the honor also gives people a feeling of "very expensive", resulting in no one looking for him to make a movie. It feels a bit like "the whole world thinks there are a lot of people chasing you, but you're still a single dog who has no one to pay attention to.".
So, later, he turned from art to life and went to the TV screen. "Magic Mobile" is the second peak of his acting career.
According to relevant data, there are 100 million fixed fans of such dramas. Li Bin himself also said that after the broadcast of this drama, there were viewers dragging them to take pictures on the road, going out to eat, KTV singing, and someone actually helped him check out, which shows the popularity of the drama.
But after this, Li Bin also starred in various life dramas, but they were not major roles and could no longer reach the height of "Magic Mobile Phone".
The most taboo thing for actors is that there is no representative work to take over after the explosion, because the market will continue to change, the audience's memory is limited, and the scenery in the past can only be short-lived.
Second, my own play path is not wide, and my role is limited.
The early appearance of "Seventeen-year-old bicycle" was discovered by Li Bin when he was still in beijing vocational high school because he played a skill bicycle.
When the audition was performed, the director asked him to get the stolen car back in his own way, and he gave the other party a big mouth at that time, kicked him and snatched the car back. The director immediately decided: "Okay! That's it! ”
At this time, Li Bin, who has no professional acting training, only relies on his own life experience and feelings to interpret the character, a young and flamboyant young man who can play bicycles, which is also what the director needs, so he is lucky to get this role.
When he starred in "Magic Mobile", he was 26 years old, and Lu Xiaoqian was also a suitable role for him.
But he seems to limit himself to "roles that he feels suitable for himself", and later he also plays characters such as the protagonist's son and grandson, and does not seek a breakthrough in the role.
Played Dong Chunsheng in "Pigeon Whistle"
Then, with the growth of age and the limitation of appearance, it is more and more difficult to break through.
Even in "Actors Please Seat," he says that only "Dear" is the only script that suits him.
In contrast, Lei Jiayin and Huang Xuan, who are also post-80s actors, although they do not belong to the kind of actors who are "handsome enough to make people can't move their eyes", do not have an advantage in appearance, but they seem to be able to act in anything, and can perform their own unique temperament.
In the early days, Lei Jiayin played the role of an old good man and a male girlfriend in urban life dramas, and also had a bit of humor and funny style, but he also played the scumbag in "The First Half of My Life";
Can be qualified for the "Peace Hotel" such as the spy drama, in the "Embroidered Spring Knife" and "Chang'an Twelve Hours" in the costume style also has a good performance.
The same is true of Huang Xuan, whose early works are not well known, but he who came from a musical theater background showed his literary temperament well in later films such as "Tuina" and "Fanghua";
In the costume dramas such as "The Legend of the Female Doctor Mingfei" and "The Legend of Mi Yue", there is no sense of violation of the love with the heroine, and the cooperation with Yang Mi, Anglelababy and other modern urban emotional dramas has increased the audience exposure.
In this way, it seems that Li Bin's development is blocked.
Perhaps aware of his own problems, Li Bin is now gradually turning behind the scenes, working as a producer in films such as "Three Treasures" and "The Last Guardian".
I also hope that such a filmmaker with acting skills can continue to go farther and farther on his film road!
