In the comedy story, Ryan's performance has been discussed many times. As an "idiot", Dakai felt that his nasal voice choked when he spoke, and he felt a sense of joy. There's nothing wrong with making a fool of yourself by performing with professional comedian Wang Ning.
From Ryan's previous roles, it is easy to see that his professional ability as an actor is very strong. After careful analysis, each character has some neglected places that can be interpreted at will. From this point of view, Ryan's acting skills are underestimated. To paraphrase Jackie Chan (Jackie Chan once said that he is not a star player, but an actor who can act), Ryan is not a comedy star, but an actor, just a performer.
Unlike many viewers who know Ryan through Run, Ryan's acting skills have always been recognized by the industry. In addition to the envy of peers, the directors who have worked with Ryan are basically full of praise for his performance ability. Director Zhang Yimou once commented, "Deng Chao, Sun Li and Ryan, including Wang Qianyuan and Wang Jingchun, are all people who have nothing to say and are good at acting, and they work hard."
In an interview, I mentioned some tidbits when shooting the Great Wall. A scene has been remake three times. The location of lighting photography is different with different scheduled routes. Ryan said with a little pride, "other groups don't have such an opportunity for you to ponder this sentence over and over again." This scene, as if to let him go back to school, the feeling of rehearsing in the drama academy, "A few people, a few pieces of paper, may die for one night for a play", which is the purest love and sincerity for acting. It is because of the recognition of Ryan's acting skills and efforts that director Zhang Yimou invited Ryan to star in his new film Shadow after The Great Wall was finished.
The film Shadow is mysterious, and the names of the characters are not exposed. However, as can be seen from the released stills, the personal style is very strong, and the original story of well-known screenwriter Zhu Sujin makes people look forward to it.
