This year's competition for the best male newcomer in the Tv drama department of Baixiang has been between Song Jiang and Li Zhixi, and whoever won the award can be said to be expected. In the end, Hua Luo Li went to Xiao Xiao's little brother, who won the award for "Eighteen Again", which was deserved.
In fact, in my opinion, it is also appropriate for Li to fight for the best male supporting strength, but unfortunately, he does not have that kind of life after all. (The Chosen Spirit like Quan Zhongrui's is really unattainable.) ）
Born in 1995, Lee debuted as an actor at the age of 22 through the tvN fire TV series "Witty Prison Life" (season 1), in which he played Zheng Jingwei's boyhood. Although the adult Jin Junwei played by Zheng Jingwei is one of the male protagonists, there are very few scenes left for the teenager Jin Junwei of Li Tohui, and many people do not even realize that the teenager is played by Li Zhixi. Until this award, everyone suddenly realized, ah, that original handsome little brother who flashed by was Li Zhixin.
Indeed, Li Zhixuan is tall and tall, has a very handsome and eye-catching appearance, and the temperament of the sunny, simple, and hot-blooded neighbor big boy is very prominent. At first glance, you will think that he should have grown up in a smooth and carefree environment. But in fact, his original family situation is very difficult. Although the family is warm and the parents have been working hard, the family's debts have never been broken, and the parents have sacrificed a lot for him and his brother. Not only that, but his younger brother also suffers from mental disorders, and even though he doesn't look like a big problem on the outside, his intelligence is below normal. Therefore, Li Zhixuan has been very sensible and filial since he was a child. In addition to taking care of and protecting his brother as much as possible, he also hopes that he can quickly share the pressure of all aspects for his parents.
In the variety show "Brother I Know", Li Zhixi generously said that his tuition fees and tuition fees in high school and college were paid with money earned from part-time work, and he did not want to increase the pressure on his parents because of himself. Then, by the way, he happily told the funny story of working in the café, without showing the slightest sign of cowering and inferiority.
In another interview, Li Zhixi said that although his brother is a disabled person who needs his protection and help, in fact, he is very grateful to his brother, because thanks to his brother, he can unexpectedly get a lot of inspiration in acting, without his brother, he may not improve his acting skills so quickly.
Although his parents did not give him a rich life, he still knew gratitude, although he had been paying for his brother, he still had no complaints, and although his life was difficult, he could still face it bravely and optimistically, which may be the reason why Li Zhixin can be warm and kind as always.
After his debut, Li Zhixuan is obviously already the top pillar of the family. The reason why he became an artist, in addition to his interest, there is a more important reason is to earn more money faster and more, to pay off the debts of the family for his parents, to realize the dreams of his parents, so that the family can live a good life only by him, so that his mother no longer sends newspapers, his father no longer does odd jobs, and his brother is no longer bullied by others.
He said that every time he gave his mother pocket money, her mother was reluctant to use it herself, and always used it all to pay off her debts. This made him very sad, so he asked himself to work harder.
In order to improve the texture of his voice when speaking lines, Li Zhixin specially learned the "dog vocal method" and then practiced repeatedly at home, which actually changed his original thin and thin sound quality, making his voice become low and thick. Even Kim Hee-cheol said on "Brother I Know" that he didn't expect such a beautiful face to have such a low and magnetic voice. It is this contrast that makes Li Zhixi more and more attractive in the process of playing the role.
Two years before his debut, Li Zhixin could only play some very small roles. But even for small roles, Li Zhixuan is also serious, every time he is very engaged, seriously pondering, repeatedly practicing, cherishing every opportunity.
Although it flashed in "Witty Doctor's Life" (season one) without leaving too many traces, starting from the second "Although 30 but still 17" this popular Korean drama, although there are still not many scenes, but too superior external conditions, as well as very suitable for athletes' skills and temperament, as well as the unusually clean and beautiful face and warm eyes, Lee Finally attracted the attention of the audience, and everyone has inquired about the actor who plays "Dong Haifan" (the role in the play) What is the way?
Then he played the role of The younger brother of Kim Yu-jeong, born in 1999, in "First Warmly Clean It", wushi, in the play, he is soft and soft, and his curly hair style is very cute. How much youthfulness does a younger brother who is 4 years older than his sister have?!
Please note that ah, so far, I don't know if it is a coincidence or deliberate, anyway, in the above 3 dramas, Li Zhixuan played by athletes, one is a baseball player, one is a rower, and one is a taekwondo player. This shows how strong the sunshine vitality emanating from Li Zhixuan's body is.
In fact, in real life, Li Zhihui was also a proper basketball player, starting from junior high school training, all the way to college, are all varsity team members, and in high school, they were also selected to represent Goyang City. Perhaps it is because of physical exercise that his sunny and energetic temperament is more prominent.
If Li Zhixin's acting path is represented by a curve, it is an obvious upward curve. The above three plays are all supporting roles, but his awareness among the audience has steadily increased every time. And in the 4th play, although it is still a supporting role, for Li Zhixi, it is definitely a drama that ushered in a turnaround, allowing him to directly go out of the circle, and the national recognition is even higher, that is, he participated in the blockbuster drama "Druna Hotel" starring IU.
In the play, he plays the descendant of the extinct Goguryeo nobleman, the brave warrior Gao Min, and the first love of the heroine full moon played by IU, who is misunderstood but is still willing to turn into a firefly to protect each other for 1300 years. It is such a role with few roles, which has become full of highlights under the affectionate interpretation of Li Zhixi, and the appearance is to steal the scene.
In addition to the emotional line touching, Li Zhixuan's play is not ambiguous. I heard that for a few few fights, I had to practice hard with the coach for two months. As mentioned earlier, his athletic talent, coupled with the hard work of the day after tomorrow, so in the play, his play performance is very good.
Kung Fu pays off, and the infatuated and brave HD people finally let Li Zhihui completely enter the public's sight. Lee was even called the man of the IU by the audience, is this okay?
However, because of this cooperation, Lee and IU have indeed become good friends, or like brothers and sisters. To this end, when he participated in "Brother I Know", he was also ridiculed by his brothers, asking him to bring a message to IU and ask her why she did not come to school, which was super funny. Li Zhixi also said many times in the interview that he and IU are like family, they will talk about any topic, and the mobile phone sets IU as "Full Moon Zhi en Sister", and IU has also sent him help many times.
"Druna Hotel" is followed by tvN's moonfire drama "Great Show", this time it is a special appearance, in which the male protagonist Song Chengxian's boyhood only appeared in two episodes, and the scenes only added up to a few minutes, but it was still impressive. But then again, why did Li Zhixuan always play the leading role in his youth?
Then, finally came to this "Eighteen Years Old Again" that made Lee To-hyun really fire, although it is still the high school period of the male protagonist Yoon Sang-hyun, but it is also possible to say that he is one of the two male protagonists, or is it the first male supporting?
In the play, he needs to play the 37-year-old Hong Daying, played by Yoon Sang-hyun, who suddenly changes back to the way he was when he was 18 years old. The 18-year-old Hong Daying, who changed his name to Hong Yuying, is a basketball genius and a prominent figure in the school.
This is a complex role with the appearance of a teenager and the mood of a middle-aged uncle, and it is very demanding to grasp the details and the moderate control of calm or vitality, which are the keys to the success of the role. However, Li Zhixin conquered the audience with perfect acting strength, and he freely switched between middle age and teenager, whether he was his son's friend or his son's father, as if it was all between Li Zhixin's thoughts.
In the play, his rivalry with Jin Hena is also very interesting, and the love affair with the goddess is also not ambiguous at all, there is no timidity of the newcomer, or it does not look like the momentum of a newcomer at all! The degree of natural fluency makes the opponent actors also give a thumbs up. That's why I said that he was also qualified to compete for the best matching actor.
In the past two years, Li Zhixi has been constantly playing because of his outstanding performance, and the arrangements are still very intensive. "Eighteen Again" just finished filming, he starred non-stop in the highly acclaimed thriller-themed comic adaptation "Sweet Home" on Netflix, playing Lee Eun-hyuk, who led the surviving residents to fight monsters together, and his silent and calm acting skills were amazing. (To put it more, Song Jiang, who competed with Lee to the Best Newcomer Award with Lee, is the star of "Sweet Home.") ）
However, in addition to acting, I did not expect that Li Zhixuan was still a treasure of variety shows, and his performance in variety shows was even more fanatical. In addition, he also participated in the national variety show, "Running Man", "Brother I Know", which is incredible, not only the audience likes to watch him, his stunning performance also makes a group of picky variety show celebrities praise, especially his super fast reaction speed and just the right ability to pick up the stem, as well as the contrast between the ignorance and the competitive appearance, contributing a lot of laughs, making people curious where the peak of his charm is!
For example, he would immediately take off when Li Shougen made a mistake in the game, pretending to take off his clothes, and accidentally showed his abs, causing a scream; for example, he would reflexively follow up with a sentence "My girlfriend is Shican's girlfriend" after Liang Shican said "Love is my girlfriend" in the word solitaire game, which suddenly made the scene laugh into scorched earth; for example, when he did not want to take pictures but said that he would send gifts to his mother, he immediately posed and shouted, "Mom, I made an appointment with my brother, I love your mother." ”......
Li to The Sun, are you afraid that you are not a variety artist who has been delayed by acting?
On May 3, 2021, Lee's eighth TV series, "Youth in May", starred in Washi, aired in South Korea. This time, Lee is the lead actor!
