Character evaluation

Therefore, the performance style is natural, implicit and poetic (Hangzhou daily review). He likes literary works with profound thoughts, vivid images and strong atmosphere of life. He pursues the true, simple and implicit artistic style, and loathes falsehood and delicate affectation. This kind of artistic interest is an important factor in the formation of his performance style. The actor should be faithful to life and act from life, which is the core of his artistic thought. Therefore, the stage image created by him has profound thoughts and feelings, inner enrichment, plump personality and bright colors. The key point is that he always respects life in his artistic creation and strictly follows the creative principle of starting from life. When he creates characters, he always mobilizes the accumulation of all his life experience, social knowledge and image, and arouses the heat of creation in the depth of his thoughts and feelings. This makes the characters he plays not the stage interpretation of literary images, but the second creation of excellent actors, deepen the thought and character of literary images. His deep understanding of life and characters often makes his performance full of artistic charm with rich thoughts, long artistic conception and endless aftertaste (review of people's Drama).
