Ning Li: From Li Fengtian to Ma Shuai, a treasure actor who always makes the audience "shock"

“On the rivers and lakes” has always been a saying: Only Li Fengtian can beat Liu Huaqiang !

18 years ago, Liu Huaqiang, played by Sun Honglei in the TV series " conquer ", has been talked about by many audiences. He played the paranoia of a triad leader incisively and vividly. It is a classic among "bad guys."

"Conquer" Sun Honglei as Liu Huaqiang

Until 2017, a web drama " Unlicensed Crime" adapted from Zijin Chen's novel of the same name was broadcast, hidden in layers of mist The real murderer "Snowman" Li Fengtian appeared, and Liu Huaqiang's bad and ruthlessness could be regarded as an opponent.

Ning Li , with his superb acting skills, everyone who has watched this drama shudder, so that many years later today, many People may not remember the protagonist's name, but still can't forget the jacket brother Li Fengtian and his unique skill "reverse smoking".

Li Fengtian's classic action: reverse smoking

In the recently hit "Sweeping Dark Storm", Ning Li's appearance also gave a lot of surprises, "Li Fengtian" and "Liu Huaqiang" two The bad guys who are "well-known" are in the same frame!

"Liu Huaqiang" and "Li Fengtian"

Although Ning Li's role in the play is still not important, only four short episodes appear, but the characters presented are not lost to Sun Honglei, Wang Zhifei , Liu Yijun and many others!

Ning Li,A treasure actor who can play a supporting role better than the protagonist!

Ning Li

Some people say that Ning Li is a late bloomer. Indeed, although he was admitted to Shanghai Theatre Academy in 1987, it was the 2017 web drama "Nothing" that actually made him famous overnight. The crime of evidence.

In fact, after Ning Li just graduated, he was assigned to the Shanghai People's Art Theater. He was the leading role in his debut and won many awards. However, everyone is young and frivolous, and he is no longer satisfied with the work of the theater. In his own words, it was "boring."

Because the film and television industry was not very prosperous in the early 1990s, Ningli, with the ideal of pursuing a new life, entrusted relatives in the United States to apply for a US visa and began to venture into the United States.

He is not a rich second-generation, he still has to work part-time when he goes to the United States. I tried many jobs such as finance, jewelry appraisal, second-hand landlord, postman, etc. Finally, I went around and found that I still like my old business the most, so I went to University of Minnesota to study film production.

Ningli

In 2007, after graduating from graduate school, Ningli began to return to China to take over the drama and occasionally go abroad to perform dramas. Compared with the early 1990s, the Chinese film industry at this time has already changed a lot. He starred in " Chinese peacekeeping police ", " Bruce Lee's Legend " and so on, but none of them caused too much splash.

But as the saying goes, : A good meal is not afraid of late, and a good wine is not afraid of Chen.

Ningli finally waited for "Li Fengtian"!

A supporting role that can only be played for a minute until the end of the fifth episode, but all the audience remember him.

Dilapidated blue cloth labor insurance quilted jackets, labor insurance shoes, and not burly, vividly resembling a poor labor squeezed by life.

Li Fengtian

He went to collect the bills, wearing a big sculpted sturdy old gold like a little chicken, accompanied by a smile and handing cigarettes. The "poor laborer" took out his cheap "Sun Island", drew out the filter element, and ignited it in turn. The flames strung together instantly, illuminating his expressionless face in the darkness.

Li Fengtian: Reverse smoking

There was no line in the whole process, no harsh expression, but the chill was already in the heart of every audience at the moment the white smoke rose-this, What a stubborn mistake!

Later, the young bastard who came to be provoked by smashed to death with an ashtray, the whole process was not particularly ruthless and cool, but on the way to raise the ashtray several times, the mysterious smile that couldn't help but made all the audience shudder instantly. .

After the fight, it's like having just finished cooking a fish. I just found a pennant and wiped my hands. When I walked outside, I suddenly felt something in my mouth, and then took a sip like all normal people spit out rice residue, spitting out the half of the ear that was bitten in the fight.

Ning Li said that before playing Li Fengtian, in addition to learning the Dongbei dialect (even subdivided into Heilongjiang dialect and Jilin dialect), he had communicated with the director. First, he had to "killer" the character. The setting of is removed, because no one hires him to commit the crime, and all the worst results happen randomly.

At this point, Ningli is very accurate!

So what he presents is a patient with antisocial personality disorder with a Northeast taste. Although Li Fengtian is a man, he is actually closer to a beast. When death occurs in his own hands, he will not produce various emotions due to excessive stimulation like normal people. It can be said that these are normal phenomena in the world of "beasts".

We can see the scene where he took out a cute strawberry purse when he bought something, and also saw him feed the fish to the owner after the crime, and even ate a handful of fish food himself. This is not because his inner contrast is cute, it is precisely because he does not have a "human heart". For a "beast", he has no human aesthetics, he has only brutal beasts and survival needs.

Ning Li’s precise understanding of the role allows us to see a calm and uncool murderer, but the strange thing is that it is precisely this calm and indifferent, presenting a terrifying "inhuman", which will bring the audience The fear is pulled to the extreme!

so many people say that after watching "Undocumented Crimes", they have a psychological shadow. Even the old man who collects scraps on the roadside usually can't help but make a few plots and make a detour. And OK.

Since then, he seems to have become a queen actor in the adaptation of Zijin Chen's novels, and have appeared in " Hidden Corner " and "The Silent Truth".

"The Silent Truth"·Zhang Chao

Another popular role he contributed is Zhang Chao, the lawyer in "The Silent Truth".

At the beginning of the play, Ning Li plays a "criminal" who was arrested by the police on the spot after taking a corpse on the subway after a murder.

The nervousness when walking into the subway station for fear of exposure, the panic after being suspected, the hurriedness when escaping, the fear when confronting the police... Every look and physical movement are particularly well grasped.

After being arrested, facing the interrogation, although he was dressed in a prison uniform, he was neither humble nor overbearing. Wearing a pair of rimless glasses with a very scholarly temperament, he turned into a well-known scholar and lawyer with knowledge and gentleness. ——Furthermore, stay in jail and wait for the court to pay him innocence.

The change before and after is amazing. Some people may say that this can only show that Ning Li’s acting skills are good.But as the character in it, Chao Zhang, a lawyer, shouldn't have such superb acting skills! Therefore, Ning Li's interpretation of Zhang Chao is not in place.

But this is not the case. After watching the complete episode and knowing all the truth, you will know that this is logical.

Ning Li said that he once learned a knowledge point in university, and it has been used so far. To the effect, if you want to present 4, then don't give it to the audience directly, but they watch 2+2.

This theory is embodied to the extreme in the interpretation of the role of Zhang Chao.

Ning Li himself made no secret of his love for this "little supporting character" in the whole story.

"The Silent Truth" Zhang Chao

Zhang Chao does not have the great sense of mission and sacrifice of the protagonist. He is actually more like most people. When encountering injustice, it is not just a roar of injustice. But try to stay away from danger. That's why he has the nervousness, panic, and fear that ordinary people have when they do bad things.

But at the same time he was unwilling to do so. After seeing too many sacrifices, he was increasingly harsh to himself. In the long inner struggle, he finally chose to join the team that "goed to death" for justice. After "things are done," his mission was completed, and at the moment he stood in court, he was calm and indifferent.

This character has always been struggling, and there are many different sides competing with each other, and it is this multi-faceted character that makes the character more realistic and makes the audience very enjoyable.

Such a detailed and infinitely real interpretation, "power acting school"-rather well deserved!

Finally, let’s talk about Ningli’s most recent role, Marshal in "Sweeping Dark Storm".

Ma Shuai has very few scenes, and most of his appearances are in prison, interspersed with memories of his youth.

Limited scenes, short duration, but did not affect Ning Li's performance at all. It can be used to describe his performance as "punching the land of the cow" .

In an extremely limited time and space, Ma Shuai's output of information to the audience is very rich, and he can even make up countless articles similar to "Brotherhood of Police and Bandits" and "Blood Business War: Black and White Cruise". "The Overbearing President and His Little Cute Baby" is a small fan outside of Ma .

In the first act, Ma Shuai is in jail, but leisurely smoking a cigar and eating a seafood meal.

Compared to Sun Honglei, he has fewer lines, but within 5 minutes of the opening, the audience can read out the following information immediately: First, Mr. Ma is not an ordinary businessman, involved in gangsters, and there are people in the bureau; He has his own plans and is very calm. Everything is currently "planning." Third, he is so patient with a lawyer who is forced to talk about him. He has a very close relationship with Li Chengyang.

When he first met with He Yong, Ma Shuai not only didn't panic when he saw it through, but the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, revealing an imperceptible contempt of "what can you do for me".

chuckled

Then Li Chengyang introduced the two of them. After Ma Shuai heard this, he reacted with "It turned out to be your old classmate, acquaintance", and his smile increased, but at this time his smile has changed. As a mask, it conceals the true thoughts that have long been buried in my heart.

smiles all over the face

This switch is very smooth and natural, and the look and feel is extremely comfortable.

Behind, He Yong put out a formal trial form, and Ma Shuai was taken aback first, obviously unexpectedly. But this expression was very lightly processed by Ning Li, and it was carried over in one stroke, and when he raised his head again, he had a good attitude of cooperating with the interrogation.

It is Liu Yijun who is used to playing the "bad guys". At this time, as the party of absolute justice, his aura is completely suppressed by Ning Li. The interrogation that always seemed to build up pressure on the prisoner became...a little light.

In the end, Marshal had no choice but to sever his fingers to suspend the interrogation.But from the calm face before the severed finger to the "fish death and net breaking" after the severed finger, the switch was completed in an instant, and the hideous look after the mask was removed, with a look in place.

At this moment, you can feel the ruthlessness and strategy of Ma Shuai, the goose bumps are up again... It is already conceivable that he is a man who has a big story hidden behind him and has experienced countless "big scenes". people!

He is cruel to his opponents, but he is very loyal and kind to his brothers and relatives.

This is Ning Li, a character created in just 4 episodes! Very intriguing.

In fact, when the director first found Ning Li, he had already signed another play, and he had 15 days to join the group. Finally, with the director’s soft and hard foaming and the guarantee that the Mashu scene will be filmed within 15 days, we can see such a pleasing performance, as well as "Liu Huaqiang" and "Li Fengtian" in the same frame of the century!

Of course, in addition to the three classic roles mentioned above, Ningli has also appeared in many other plays in recent years, all of which have performed well. Such as the head teacher Wu Wenlu in "Hello, Old Times".

"Hello, Old Times" Wu Wenlu

" Snail and Oriole Bird " the old naughty conductor Fisher.

"Snail and Oriole" Fisher

"The Hidden Corner", the small market worker "Zhang Jinglin" who first gave Yan Liangqian money and took it back.

"The Hidden Corner" Zhang Jinglin

There is also the villain Yelujing in " Yanyuntai ".

"Yanyuntai" Yelujing

Ning Li, always make you shudder and praise his character. And the supporting role of a good actor proved by absolute strength,It can also occupy the position of the main coffee in the hearts of the audience.

A well-deserved drama master!

In today's traffic dominance, audiences who have been devastated by their acting skills actually want to see this kind of real actors who can make people call them addictive! Ning Li, a talented treasure actor, must be worth a hundred hot searches!
