Award winning record

Character evaluation

Li Xiaofeng is a young man of literature and art. He has a moderate sense of depression and a slow speaking speed. Like his writing, Li Xiaofeng has become more restrained and low-key. In the movie dada, Li Xiaofeng interprets the characters with his own body and mind, and the integration and transformation of his identity is not easy. From the film critic, director and actor, Li Xiaofeng really entered the interior of the film (Xin'an evening news, Beijing News and Jinling Evening News).

The film "maiden Nezha" directed by Li Xiaofeng is quite different from other youth films in terms of lines, scenery, photography and techniques. In the film, Li Xiaofeng incarnates as a voice actor and sings a song "cloud of hometown" to express the loneliness and wandering feelings of the two maidens in the film. He interprets the songs with different tastes (information times, Sina review) .

The song of the loser written by Li Xiaofeng is full of charming charm. The simplicity of its writing and the commonness and diversity of its characters are just like Raymond Carver. Over the years, Li Xiaofeng has used the Internet to describe his characters and scenes.
