Award winning record

Character evaluation

Dong Zijian is a very free actor in front of the camera. He has no sense of restraint, and has inherent potential and talent that can not be covered up (comments by Jia Zhangke).

In the film "youth school", Dong Zijian's performance in front of the camera is calm and natural, and his interpretation of the characters is devoted and clear. Although Dong Zijian has no acting experience, he has a calmness of ignoring the lens. His performance in the school of youth also won the audience's resonance because of his simplicity and sincerity, making the audience find a window to spy on the life and emotional world of the post-90s. Dong Zijian's way of acting can be described as "down-to-earth". He is in the mood for love and does not pursue the number of works. In films such as "youth school" and "old friends of mountains and rivers", we can see Dong Zijian's rare calmness and indifference in his age. Maybe it's because of his uniqueness that he left a lot of ink. Dong Zijian's performance is full of aura and is as lovely as his brother next door. He also shows his high EQ, humor and youthful vitality in private (Xiaodun of Muyi, Sina comments).

In a group of indoor portraits, Dong Zijian wears leather clothes, which is less childish but more mature and uninhibited. Dong Zijian, who has always followed the simple style, also pays attention to the collocation of details. The ring on the index finger becomes the finishing touch, while the noble is full of ruffian Qi (Phoenix Online Review).
