Character evaluation
Since his debut, Li Yixiang has played many characters with different personalities in many films and TV works, including the film "chicken and dog are restless", "pure land", "love at first sight", the short film "deep in flowers", "car 44", the TV series "military secrets", "Conquest", and so on. With his solid foundation and strength, he has won praise from the film and television industry and the audience. (Sohu Entertainment review) most of the roles played by Li Yixiang are very close to life. From Song Jinming in blind well, Ma San in chicken and dog are restless, to Wang Jiang in something to find Wang Jiang now, all of them are very different from Jia, B, C and d around us. Therefore, he is called "civilian movie emperor". (Phoenix Online Review)
Whether it's "my name is Liu Yuejin" or "chickens and dogs are restless", from the farmer director of "not for fun" to Liu Bang in "myth", Li Yixiang has different characters, and his performance is unique, introverted and three-dimensional, which is impressive. He is not the kind of special publicity actor, nor is he a star who focuses on business or literature and art. He is the representative of grassroots acting school, simple and unadorned.
