There are no small roles, only small actors. The formation of any classic work, in addition to having a high-profile protagonist, the background of supporting roles is also an indispensable part. Since ancient times, in people's subtle consciousness, we have only remembered the protagonists of fame and fortune, and those supporting roles of their own faction have been ignored. In fact, for the supporting roles, what they lack is not strength and acting skills, but an opportunity to prove themselves. Today we are talking about this one, his appearance is not proud, he was appreciated by Zhang Guoguo, a small person who has played in obscurity for 30 years, and now he has become a domineering president of the company, he is Li Geng.
I believe that in everyone's mind, there will definitely be no existence of Li Geng's name, maybe you have seen his play and remember him because of his image, but his name may not be remembered. Born in Ningxia, known as the "Stuffed Jiangnan", Li Geng's appearance seems to be incompatible with this beautiful city, but he can't help but be talented. At the age of 20, Li Geng was admitted to the Fine Arts Department of the Beijing Film Academy to study animation directing. Although he did not come from a science class, his subsequent life experience was indissoluble with acting.
Liking a person is nothing more than: starting from appearance, falling into talent, being loyal to character, and being drunk with affection. Perhaps the external beauty has limited Li Geng's acting career, but his talent is the help of his acting career. After graduating from college, Li Geng did not engage in his own profession, but shot a number of advertisements and became famous. His commercials, both creative and expressive, were among the best of its time. He not only ushered in an era of Chinese television advertising, but was also selected as one of the "100 Most Influential Advertising Directors in China".
In fact, Li Geng's appearance on the TV screen stemmed from a fortuitous cameo. In the love ethics drama "Woman Without State" starring Chen Baoguo and Arya, he made a cameo role in the play "Lifa". It was this small role that aroused his inner desire for performance and began his 30-year-long path of small characters. Later, he played the antique shop guy "Mao Cai" in "The Legend of Liulichang" starring Zhang Guoguo and Feng Yuanzheng, and portrayed a writer "Baokang" in the comedy satirical film "Stubborn Lord" starring Ge You. In particular, one of his lines: "I am a writer, called Baokang", left a deep impression on the audience.
Throughout Li Geng's acting career, although there is no proud protagonist role, it is also the greatest affirmation of an actor to be able to interpret the supporting roles deeply into the hearts of the people. In the sitcom "The Story of the Editorial Department", he is an inexhaustible editor "Chen Da"; Ge You and Ju Xue starred in the movie "The Disappearing Woman", and he played "Zhang Dalei"; in the movie "Hanging Sword", he also portrayed a "Guan Dapeng" who loved his son and ignored the law for the sake of his son who committed crimes. For each role, he grasped it just right and portrayed the characters vividly.
However, compared with the audience's familiarity with Li Geng, more should come from Zhang Guoguo's works. Whether it is Zhang Guoguo's "The Great State of Beijing", or the costume historical drama "Kangxi Micro Service Private Interview", or "Iron Tooth Copper Tooth Ji Xiaolan", there will be a figure of Li Geng. Cooperate on screen, brothers in life. No matter how much the drama is, as long as Zhang Guoli has a word, Li Geng will do his best to perform.
In the family drama "Brothers and Brothers", Li Geng played the captain of Zhang Guoguo's taxi company; the mythological drama "Jigong New Biography", he was also the "Zhu Daxiang" who made people laugh; the family emotional drama "You Are My Lover", and played Zhang Meng's father; and the family drama "Dazhaimen 1912", and portrayed the small character "Pan Dazhi". Every appearance of Li Geng can bring unlimited appeal to the audience.
In recent years, Li Geng is still silently moving forward on the road of small people, perhaps for him, thirty years of acting career, has made him look down on fame and fortune, more from the original intention of acting in his heart. Perhaps as an actor, Li Geng has never had the aura of media focus, nor has he had the popularity of the public, but he used his talent and acting skills to deeply brand every small person with the label of "strength".
Big people have the aura of big people, and small people have the excitement of small people. It is not difficult to interpret the protagonist deeply into people's hearts, but not everyone can do it to bring the small characters to life. Today' Li Geng, in addition to acting, he also invested in the establishment of an advertising company, not only became a veritable domineering president, but also he was a visiting professor at the Beijing Film Academy. Talent is sometimes not proportional to looks, and art is not related to fame. Bless Li Geng and look forward to more wonderful works in the future.
