Born in a wealthy family, Li Zhinan can be said to be an uncompromising Shanghainese, and has been a small piece of fresh meat since childhood. Influenced by his parents, he has had an extraordinary talent for art from an early age.
Due to the strong family conditions, from the age of 8, he began to learn ballet dance, not only extremely talented, but also extremely hard to learn.
In the face of the parents' mentality of "hoping that the son will become a dragon and the daughter will become a phoenix". However, Li Zhinan did not fail them, and the following year, he won the men's gold medal in the "Tao Li Cup" dance competition.
With the growth of age, Li Zhinan participated in more and more competitions, and also won numerous awards. At the age of 11, he won the men's silver medal of the Shanghai International Ballet Competition in one fell swoop, which can be described as a remarkable achievement.
He thought that the future was bright, and he would break out of the world for himself in the dance world in the future. But unfortunately, you never know which tomorrow or the accident will come first.
During the competition training, a sudden accident caused him to suffer a serious knee injury, which also caused him to lose touch with the "dance".
But Li Zhinan was obsessed with art, and soon after, he was admitted to the acting department of the Beijing Film Academy and began his acting career.
In 2000, Li Zhinan began to emerge in the acting industry by participating in his first film "We Are Afraid", and officially debuted. He was only 15 years old.
Although it was the first time he was electrocuted, he behaved with ease and won the recognition and favor of the industry.

In 2002, he was again favored by director Li Jichang, who invited him to participate in the male protagonist "Shi Yanfeng" in the TV series "Eighteen-year-old Sky" directed by himself.
Unexpectedly, after the broadcast of the drama, Li Zhinan became the "most handsome school grass" in the audience's heart with the "Shi Yanfeng" played by him, and it became popular all over the streets.
It is precisely with this drama that everyone calls it the "mainland version of the school grass", and has also become the childhood male god of thousands of young girls. Even if he is not the most handsome one, his natural temperament has become his unique feature.
Li Zhinan, who has a handsome appearance, thought that he would make several works in succession with this drama and quickly heat up in the entertainment industry, but he disappeared.
It has been 18 years since he exploded at the age of 17 and has now debuted. Except for "Eighteen-Year-Old Sky", there are basically no works that can be put to hand.
Li Zhinan also joked: "18 years ago, 18 years later, I only remember Shi Yanfeng, but I don't remember Li Zhinan." Seriously, I really don't know that "Shi Yanfeng" is played by Li Zhinan, and when I see the photo, I only know that my eyes are familiar, but I don't know what name it is.
With the popularity of Li Zhinan, there are not a few who find his script and roles, but the agency only accepts some male number one roles for him, and believes that other roles will lower his status. In addition, in addition to the specific role requirements, it is also required to be paid high.
In the face of this "strange" demand of the agency, many directors who originally wanted to invite Li Zhinan to shoot finally found someone else. Slowly, there are fewer and fewer roles and scripts looking for Li Zhinan. Li Zhinan's career also plummeted as a result.

At that time, Li Zhinan was only 17 years old, not to mention that he had only acted in a youth idol drama, and his acting skills had not reached the point of pure fire, and the acting performances were all to exercise his acting skills.
As a result, he also ruined his subsequent acting career and made himself silent for five years. During this period, Li Zhinan did not shoot a drama or find the next brokerage company, and he did not understand anything at an ignorant age, did not dare to ask anything, and could only obey the company's arrangement.
After that, the company decided to let Li Zhinan take the "love bean" route, spent two years, learning to sing, playing, dancing, and spent more than a year recording an album.
During this period, it also took about two years to prepare records. But in the end, because of the company's "insufficient funds", the issue of releasing records was also solved.
Therefore, 7 years of time was wasted in such a brokerage company.
With the expiration of the contract, Li Zhinan quickly fled the company and came to Beijing, where he began to officially pursue his acting dreams.
But I never thought that in the hearts of the audience, "Shi Yanfeng" has long become the past tense, and he is no longer the hot popular traffic star before.
And Shi Xiaolong, who was known as "Jet Li Wu Jing's successor", returned to China after studying in the United States for 5 years, and then remembered by "traffic", and only left his love affair with He Jie.
Because of this, so any small role Li Zhinan is picked up, even if the running dragon set does not have a film remuneration and does not let go of any role, because standing on the camera side, he will be very excited.
Although, after the termination of the contract with the company, he has participated in many roles intermittently, but there is no role that can surpass "Shi Yanfeng". There is no longer a character that can be remembered by the audience. Even, Li Zhinan has gradually faded from people's vision.

In the next few plays, Li Zhinan returned to that tepid time, and the role played by Li Zhinan in "Alone in the World" made many people sigh that the years are really a pig-killing knife, and Li Zhinan is no longer the "national school grass" in people's hearts.
It was not until 2009, when he starred in the happiness trilogy "Happiness on the Clearest Day" and "Happiness three stars", that he finally broke the situation of no name and had the identity of male number three for the first time.
In 2011, Li Zhinan played the second male number for the first time in "A Thousand Mountains and Twilight Snow" starring Liu Kaiwei and Ying'er, playing the heroine's first love Xiaoshan.
During the filming process, in order to make a fight scene more realistic, Sheng Sheng hit his right hand until it bled. In the end, I still don't have enough filming experience, and I don't know how to use props and borrowing technology to help me reduce my injuries. So I could only hit hard, against a solid wooden pillar, and kept pounding.
In 2012, Li Zhinan successively participated in "Gone with the Wind" starring Tang Yan and Luo Jin; "Beacon Lady" starring Shu Chang and Qiao Zhenyu, playing Feng Shaofeng, who was gentle and feminine on the outside but had a dark belly on the inside. Although the hateful villain's attempt is brilliant, it has not changed the embarrassing situation that the drama red people are not popular.
In "Husband and Wife", starring Huo Siyan and Feng Shaofeng, he is Xiao Jiang, a newspaper reporter with few shots.
In "Happiness Must Be Strong" starring Ming Dao and Li Yifeng, he is an introverted and unremarkable Pan Xiaopeng.
In the New Year movie "God of Wealth", starring Tan Yonglin and Zhang Zhen, he and Jinsha played a moonlight couple, and after watching the whole film, they could hardly find any sense of existence.
In 2018, Li Zhinan played the role of Pei Xianya, the grand duke of Situ, in the costume detective magic drama "Sheng Tang Fantasy Night", Pei Xianya was a prince who made the heroine fall in love at first sight.
But this supposedly personable prince was spat upon by the audience, the reason is that Li Zhinan has visibly become a lot fatter with the naked eye, and his face is round as if he is about to overflow the screen, looking very greasy, so that the bullet screen is scolding the heroine for being blind.
Careful viewers found that not only was they fat, but Li Zhinan's abrupt ultra-deep double eyelids also made the audience play, calling out that the angular melancholy prince of the past was gone.
And now 35-year-old Li Zhinan, after many years of silence, once again appeared on the stage of "Actors Please Take Place". Looking at Li Zhinan on the stage, he couldn't help but feel very emotional in his heart: "Once a new star, now eighteen lines!" The gap in this is probably only something he can understand.
In "Actors Please Take Place 2", Li Zhinan and Wang Shasha co-starred in the classic fragments of Chen Yu and Zhong Xiaoqin in "Thirty Only".
However, Wang Shasha's full mood and Li Zhinan's tepidness form a strong contrast, and the sense of violation of the two performances makes this scene not optimistic about the director and the audience.
When Li Zhinan said to the director to the audience on the stage of "Actors Please Take Place 2", "I don't think I want to be so gone", at that moment, we seemed to see the former Shi Yanfeng again.
Five
Although in "Eighteen-year-old Sky", between the cool Shi Yanfeng and the pure Lan Feilin, there was a spark of love. But in that era when campus love was forbidden, the two did not get together became a regret in the hearts of the audience.
However, 18 years later, they chose together not to leave regrets in their lives.
Therefore, Jinsha, who is not confused, faces herself and chooses "Riding the Wind and Waves", li Zhinan, who is deeply anxious, abandons the past and re-assumes her position.
When Jinsha participated in "Sister Riding the Wind and Waves", Li Zhinan also called her on the social platform for the first time in his life, saying that he gave up the first vote in his life.
Until Li Zhinan participated in "Actors Please Take Place 2", when he mentioned Jinsha in the interview, he actually showed a more excited look, which was interpreted by many media and netizens as a new progress in the emotional state of the two.
But soon this small flame of hope was personally extinguished by "Lan Feilin" herself.
Jinsha forwarded an article on the social platform describing her relationship with Li Zhinan that may have a new breakthrough, posting that "even if the world becomes an island, only the two of us, I will not choose you, my brother", and finally Aite Li Zhinan.
Although the relationship has been cleared, such a statement has made many netizens feel that it is inevitable that it is a little hurtful. But one thing to say does help Li Zhinan raise some heat.
18 years later, "Lan Feilin" became popular again through "Sister Riding the Wind and Waves", and successfully untied the CP with Li Zhinan, although many netizens complained that there was no emotional intelligence and no mercy, but the good villain Jinsha really jumped out of the confinement of "Lan Feilin", as she said in the article: "No one is always eighteen years old."
Conclusion
"Eighteen-year-old sky" is a good memory of many people's youth, the beautiful love story in it is still unforgettable, and our male protagonist Li Zhinan is also very temperamental and very gentle, I don't know how many girls' hearts have been stirred.
Li Zhinan on the stage can no longer see the handsomeness of 18 years ago, only the vicissitudes that have been polished by the years. But he was not afraid of difficulties and stood on the stage again, which is the most precious spirit.
