Preface. Some people say that he is a late bloomer who was born as a trickster, and some people call him an underrated good actor.
In any case, it cannot be denied that this man named Ning Li has made a deep impression on the field of Chinese crime dramas.
But at his peak, he chose to return to his family and live an ordinary life.
Returning to China to develop, it exploded again.
Returning to his homeland, thousands of emotions came to his heart, 10 years later, Ning Li is no longer the young man who wandered abroad alone, he has his own home, a wife and two lovely daughters.
When the plane landed, Ning Li's first action was to hug his wife tightly, and during his long career trough, it was his wife who had been silently supporting the family.
Now that his career has improved, Ning Li is determined to take on the responsibility of supporting his family.
Many years ago in the United States, Ning Li, who did not understand the language, lived a poor life.
One day, the bread in the supermarket was about to expire, and Ning Li went to buy it, and happened to meet his wife who was doing public welfare.
She was enthusiastic about helping others, and she also took care of Ning Li, and Ning Li's charm conquered her, and the two came together.
After that, his wife took care of the livelihood alone, and Ning Li took care of the children at home, he was not ashamed, but grateful for his wife's contribution.
returned to the film and television industry, but it was difficult for Ning Li to get the leading role again, so he had to start from a supporting role and play some small villains.
Income is intermittent, and he has to work at home as a "full-time housewife" to take care of the family.
This was done for ten years, until 2017, "Undocumented Crime" brought him a turnaround.
In order to play the villain Li Toyota, Ning Li began to smoke, ** shape, and dig deep into this cold-blooded and cruel character.
He portrayed this character vividly, and the response was excellent.
In these long ten years, Ning Li has experienced a low point in his life, but he has never given up his love and pursuit of acting.
Although he doesn't have many roles, he always goes all out and plays every small role to the fullest.
His persistence and hard work finally paid off, and in "Undocumented Crime", he conquered the audience with his superb acting skills and won the recognition of the industry.
In order to better portray the character of Li Toyota, Ning Li conducted in-depth research, and he read a lot of books on criminal psychology in an attempt to understand the psychological state of criminals.
He also deliberately observed some marginal characters in life in order to present the character's personality traits more realistically.
He even began to learn to smoke, and although it had an impact on his health, he believed it was a necessary means to shape the character.
During the filming, Ning Li's performance was impressive, he strived for perfection in every detail, whether it was expressions, movements or words, he tried to do his best.
His professionalism touched all the members of the crew, and also made "Undocumented Crime" a work with both word-of-mouth and ratings.
After becoming popular overnight, Ning Li starred in many crime suspense dramas one after another. With his excellent acting skills, he has become the leading role in this genre.
Later, in order to show the variety, he began to experiment with different types of roles, from a gentle teacher to a shy cobbler, all of which came to life through his superb acting skills.
In the "rival play" with Sun Honglei, Ning Li also did not fall behind, and he used his strength to prove that he was an outstanding actor.
The first half of Ning Li's life can be said to be smooth, or it can be said that it is not smooth......
When I was a child, I encountered a family mutation.
When Ning Li was in elementary school, his father was sent to work as a worker in a tannery in Anhui Province, and his mother left Beijing to accompany her husband.
In the tannery, my father was engaged in dirty and tiring manual work, and he came home from work covered in oil, but he never complained about the difficult life.
Mother is still full of romance and will paint on the dilapidated walls to beautify the living environment.
In order to pass the time for the children, his father specially bought a pair of chess to teach them to play chess, and proposed the principle of being a pawn in the chess game, which affected Ning Li's personality of only advancing and not retreating.
Once, his father took Ning Li to watch the drama "Family Events", and he was interested in drama, and he planted the seeds for his career choice in the future.
When Ning Li was 11 years old, her family's life suddenly changed dramatically. His happy family was shattered by a sudden car accident, in which his mother died.
Since then, Ning Li's father's temperament has changed drastically, and his originally loving face has been replaced by anger and grief, and he often gets angry for no reason, making the atmosphere in the house tense and depressing.
Ning Li's heart was full of longing for his mother and sympathy for his father, but he also felt deeply helpless.
What was once a home full of laughter and laughter is now nothing but silence and cold air.
Ning Li could no longer find the courage to touch the chess board that had spent countless happy times with his family, and whenever he saw those black and white chess pieces scattered on the ground, he would involuntarily think of the tragic situation that had happened that day, and his heart would swell with a burst of pain.
Smooth and smooth actor's road.
He failed the college entrance examination and said that his score was very low, and later learned that there was an acting academy that could lower the score requirements for cultural classes, and Ning Li rekindled hope.
He decided to repeat his studies for a year, specializing in cultural courses, and finally scored 380 points to enter the Shanghai Theater Academy.
During his time in the play, Ning Li gave full play to his acting talent, and after graduation, he was assigned to the Shanghai People's Art Theater, where he soon became a leading actor.
After cooperating with veteran actor Zhong Xinghuo, in 1990, he starred in the ** movie "The Married Girl" was a success.
Since then, Ning Li has accumulated rich acting experience and can control various types of film and television works. Many directors have praised him as a natural actor.
In 1992, Ning Li starred in the movie "The Que Li Family", which not only showed his profound acting skills, but also demonstrated his deep understanding and unique insights into the role.
In the film, Ning Li's wonderful rivalry with senior artists such as Wei Zongwan and Zhu Xu has become the focus of people's talk.
Their collaboration is a perfect match, making the whole film full of artistic charm and dramatic tension.
Ning Li has won unanimous praise inside and outside the industry for his outstanding performance, and has won many awards, becoming a popular figure in the film and television industry for a while.
But just when his career was in full swing, Ning Li made an unexpected decision - to give up his brilliant achievements in the Shanghai film and television industry and go to the United States for further study.
It's not going to be easy in the United States.
In recent years, there are many stories in film and television works that show the struggle of Chinese people going abroad.
In 1994, the TV series "Beijingers in New York" starring Jiang Wen and Wang Ji set off a "going abroad fever" in China, telling the story of the actor Wang Qiming's experience of going to the United States to pan for gold.
* After this drama, Ning Li couldn't calm down for a long time, and was deeply inspired, and also came up with the idea of going abroad to make a career.
In 1996, after completing the filming of his last film "People at Dusk", Ning Li resolutely said goodbye to his family and friends and embarked on the journey to realize the American dream.
To make a living, he worked as a real estate agent and a temporary job at the post office in the United States, sorting letters mechanically every day, and the work was boring and tedious.
In order to make life colorful, he constantly improves his work efficiency and obtains a high sense of achievement on the premise of ensuring zero mistakes.
After that, Ning Li tried to study jewelry appraisal, got involved in the field of finance and real estate, saw the living conditions of various people, and realized that the joys and sorrows of life have a certain commonality.
After a few years of traveling in a foreign country, Ning Li gradually regained his original intention and realized that acting was what he really loved.
During her years in the United States, Ning Li experienced the process of being confused and adapting to a foreign country at the beginning, and gradually integrating into local life.
Although he was confused by language and cultural barriers, he persevered with his love for the performing arts and the pursuit of his dreams.
In 1990, he was admitted to the University of Minnesota to major in film production, determined to improve his artistic accomplishment and professional skills through systematic study.
During his time at the school, Ning Li not only studied theoretical knowledge seriously, but also actively participated in various practical activities.
He often participates in the school's drama club and exercises his acting skills through stage performances; At the same time, he also tried to shoot short films to apply what he had learned to his actual creations.
He hopes to be like the actor of "Pekingese in New York", to achieve something in this country and use his talent to win recognition.
Ning Li gradually realized that cultural differences and homesickness had become difficult obstacles to overcome.
Although he has become accustomed to the rhythm of life and cultural atmosphere in the United States, his deep attachment to his hometown and his sense of identity with Chinese culture have never been separated.
In 2005, after 10 years of struggle in the United States, Ning Li resolutely embarked on a journey back to China with rich experience and mature thinking.
The film contract is limited, and he is supported by his wife in the United States.
In his ten years of life in the United States, Ning Li basically relied on his wife's income to support him, and he helped with some household chores with his landlord, which could offset some of the rent.
After the birth of their first daughter and second daughter one after another, Ning Li's life changed dramatically.
He used to be busy in the workplace, but now his main job is to take care of his children at home.
Every morning, he wakes up early to prepare breakfast and carefully freshens up his two daughters.
In the afternoon, he would take them to the park with his stroller for a walk, watching the children curiously explore the world around them, and although his heart was full of joy, he occasionally felt a little lonely.
Because in the park, he saw almost all women with children, and few men took care of the family full-time like him.
Because of the bad luck in his career, he even brought his emotions home a few times.
Once, while tutoring her eldest daughter with her homework, Ning Li began to become impatient because her daughter's understanding of math problems was not deep enough.
He reprimanded his daughter loudly, even tore up her homework book, and when he saw his daughter's frightened eyes, he immediately realized his gaffe.
He apologized deeply to his daughter and patiently helped her reorganize her thoughts and complete her homework.
That night, Ning Li couldn't sleep for a long time, and he recalled the hardships of his father raising their siblings alone when he was a child.
At that time, my father had to work and take care of the family, and often worked late into the night for their studies and life.
Now, Ning Li finally realized that it was not easy, and cherished every moment with his daughters even more.
Around 2006, Ning Li's wife was transferred back to China to work, so the family also moved back to China, and Ning Li started his film career again.
Epilogue. Each of his characters, both positive and negative, is full of life. His performances allow people to feel the true meaning of life while appreciating art.
In life, Ning Li is a loving and responsible husband, he has been married to his wife for many years, and he is still in love.
