"I always call him Big Brother Yimou. It can be said that he has been a friend of twenty years." Speaking of director Zhang Yimou, Ni Dahong's tone was full of respect and admiration. When he first cooperated, he discovered that Zhang Yimou has a characteristic , The energy is particularly strong, and the main creator forum is held almost every night to revise the script. Sometimes Ni Dahong woke up at three or four in the morning and found that Zhang Yimou was still walking up and down the corridor, thinking hard.
For the filming of "Above the Cliff", after Ni Dahong received the invitation, "I didn't think much about it for a second, I just agreed, I was very excited, and had the opportunity to get in touch with director Yimou again."
Ni Dahong Gao Bin is the biggest spy in the film, with rich work experience and a strong aura. In Ni Dahong's view, although Gao Bin is a villain, he is also a living person with his own unique views and personal beliefs. He hopes that this character will have his own uniqueness. The first thing to consider."
What he has to do is to think about the script first and slowly digest the character. Ni Dahong firmly grasped Gao Bin's identity as a "spy" and wrote a big essay on it. "Spy agents are all professionally trained. As the chief of the spy section, Gao Bin naturally has more experience in espionage, and he needs to have a strong heart. He must be more open-minded than his subordinates, so he can sit on the head of the section. position."
In addition, as the chief of the Secret Service Section, Gao Bin needs to be on high alert at all times," so he will have doubts about everything and will not trust anyone. "

Ni Dahong revealed that he was as precise as possible when performing, such as Gao Bin's facial expressions and body movements, deliberately keeping slow and still, The range of action is not easy to be large, which is in line with the identity of the character, "because if the agent's behavior is too exaggerated or eye-catching, he may be caught by the opponent, and danger will follow. "
The contest between Gao Bin and Zhou Yi, played by Yu Hewei, is one of the most exciting parts of the film. Zhou Yi is a senior agent of our party who entered the Secret Service Division. After going up, the operation was facing destruction at any time. At this time, Zhou Yi stood up. He designed the spy Jin Zhide (played by Yu Ailei) to be suspected by Gao Bin as an insider and shot him, thus removing Gao Bin's previous suspicion of Zhou Yi. In the play, in order to comfort Zhou Yi, Gao Bin took the initiative to hug Zhou Yi. This hug was made by Ni Dahong and Yu Hewei after the audition. The two even carefully studied the details of the hug, in order to make This action can reflect the inner emotions of the two at the time.

"Some things can only be understood by yourself. You let me explain it clearly. , Saying that there are three grams of salt and five grams of soy sauce in this dish, I don't think this is a good performance."In
, Gao Bin's eyes are full of murderousness, which makes people shudder, and this is exactly what Ni Dahong wants to achieve. "I am a green leaf in the film, and I have shaped the role of Gao Bin, It is even more able to bring out the greatness of the Communist Party agents played by Yu Hewei, Zhang Yi, Qin Hailu, Liu Haocun, and Zhu Yawen in the film. "
After the TV series "Everything Is Good" was broadcast in 2019, Ni Dahong's acting skills were finally seen by more audiences, and his role as Sima Yi in the new version of "Three Kingdoms" broke the simple portrayal of Sima Yi in previous film and television dramas.
