I don't know Ding Yongdai with my eyes.
The day before yesterday, I watched a piece of "South to North" on TV, Ma Kui played by Ding Yongdai grabbed Wang Yongge's collar, the angry expression and roaring roar were so realistic, I was amazed that a person's acting skills can reach such a level!
I only learned about Ding Yongdai as an actor after watching "The World", and then I continued to see his works and saw his superb acting skills. Out of admiration, I looked up the names of his other works, and it turned out that he had started acting more than 20 years ago.
In 2002, CCTV broadcast the TV series "The End of the Road", which told the story of a sensational crime case in the 90s. This TV series is also known as "China Criminal Investigation No. 1" or "The End of the Road 1997". Ding Yongdai successfully played Bai Baoshan in the play. I watched this drama a little bit, but I didn't watch it all because I was afraid, but I didn't pay attention to what the actors were called.
The original actor of "The End of the Road" was not Ding Yongdai, when the film was halfway through, the actor who played Bai Baoshan asked the director to increase the price for him, otherwise he refused to shoot again. The director was very angry, and would rather change the actor than accept the actor's "sitting on the ground and starting the price", which led to Bai Baoshan played by Ding Yongdai later.
After the director first saw Ding Yongdai, he felt that he was good-looking and righteous, and he was not a suitable candidate for Bai Baoshan. However, he didn't expect Ding Yongdai to be stunned by the director after a few scenes, and praised his good acting skills.
Because Ding Yongdai portrayed the character of Bai Baoshan too similarly, when this drama was on the air, Ding Yongdai even went out to buy groceries, and some people said that he was Bai Baoshan.
What's even more laughable is that once Ding Yongdai met a police officer who had worked together, the police saw him and subconsciously regarded him as a criminal and wanted to arrest him, but fortunately, Ding Yongdai explained in time that he was an actor, not Bai Baoshan.
I think this misunderstanding is the best affirmation of an actor's acting skills.
I have always admired people with superb professional skills, Mr. Ding Yongdai, you have debuted for so long and your acting skills are so good, I only recently found out that it is really disrespectful, I don't know if it is too late for me to say "long admiration" now?
