In 1980, in a peasant family in Hunan, Liu Yan was born.
When he was a child, Liu Yan's family was not rich.
His father, who drives a large truck, can only make a living by transporting rice noodles for physical reasons.
And the birth of Liu Yan made this family that was not rich even more impoverished.
Therefore, Liu Yan's parents decided to go south to work and wanted to earn more money to support their family, and Liu Yan was left in his hometown.
When she was a child, Liu Yan was particularly strong, although no one tutored her to study literature and art, nor did she have money to enroll in any tutoring classes.
But she became a member of the literary committee in her class and often hosted at the school's radio station.
When she was 10 years old, Si Nu's parents took her to Guangzhou to study.
Unexpectedly, a 10-year-old girl went to Guangzhou, not only did not cause trouble for her parents, but also often cooked for her brother, who was 4 years older than her.
After graduating from junior high school, Liu Yan was assigned to work in a hospital, became a nurse, and became a glorious angel in white.
Originally, this poor family had a turnaround after the sons and daughters became adults.
Unexpectedly, when Liu Yan was 19 years old, her mother was found to be seriously ill.
At that time, Liu Yan's brother was working in Guangzhou, and his income could only be barely subsistence, and his parents had not made much money in recent years.
What to do?
Is it necessary to watch the mother die in pain?
Of course not, Liu Yan made up his mind, I just knelt down and begged for someone, and I also wanted to save my mother.
At that time, she was already working as a host on some local television stations, but within the system, she was paid a dead wage and could not afford her mother's medical expenses.
Suddenly, a poster of the draft came to her hand, which was the host selection of Light Media, and if she could win the championship, there would be a prize of ten thousand yuan.
Therefore, Liu Yan, who was eager to save his mother, did not think about it and directly signed up.
Unfortunately, Liu Yan only got the 7th place, and did not get a penny of the bonus.
But she got an olive branch from Light Media.
In this way, a Hunan girl came to Beijing at once from the local platform in Guangzhou.
At that time, in order to make more money for her mother's medical expenses, she lived directly near the company, and at most, she received 10 programs a day.
And in order to save money on makeup, many times she sleeps with makeup, although this is uncomfortable and not good for the skin.
But at that time, as long as she could save money, she was willing to do any difficult things.
For a newcomer, although Liu Yan is very hard, he will still be suppressed.
At that time, she and Wu Zongxian hosted the show together, and the producers only wanted to borrow her appearance and let her make a vase.
But she answered the call seriously, shaking the baggage to enliven the atmosphere.
Who knows, as soon as the show ended, the producers were very dissatisfied, and even scolded her.
At that time, she was very aggrieved, but thinking about her mother's medical expenses, she still put up with it.
Liu Yan and Xie Nan
Later, she became the top stream of light media with sweet looks and quick reactions, and wu Jing's wife Xie Nan and Dazuo were called the three treasures of light.
People are red, and the mother's medical expenses are naturally not a problem, but Liu Yan knows that women will always grow old one day, and only relying on beauty and figure to mix in the circle is not a long-term solution after all.
And she was almost 30 years old at the time, and if she didn't make any more achievements, she would never have a chance again.
So she thought about making a movie, and first she got a role as a rouge shop customer in Painted Skin.
Although she has worked hard to learn to shoot, the audience's attention is still on her appearance.
Two years later, she participated in the "Secret History of Yang Guifei" and wanted to open up a world on the road of TV series.
However, when shooting costume plays, there are a large number of literary lines in the script, and Zhang Liangdi, the character created by Liu Yan, is a complex woman with a heavy heart and quite favored by Suzong, which makes Liu Yan greatly distressed.
Director You Xiaogang naturally will not change his script and style for Liu Yan, and everything can only be adapted by Liu Yan himself.
Yin Peach
Unfortunately, although the TV series was on fire, Liu Yan did not borrow this shareholder wind, but many viewers only paid attention to yin tao in the play and ignored the existence of Liu Yan.
And confused, she can only be repeatedly defeated, repeatedly defeated.
At this time, a key man appeared, his name was Dapeng.
As early as 2007, when Dapeng and Xie Nan hosted together, Liu Yan, as Xie Nan's girlfriend, went to visit the class.
At that time, Dapeng rushed up excitedly, took her hand and said, I know you, I have seen you on TV.
At that time, the two could not talk about cooperation, but could only be said to be acquaintances.
In fact, Dapeng's life is also very bumpy.
He formed a band in high school, but not long after the band was formed, one of the singers in the band snatched him up the lead singer position.
So, he formed another band, and Jin Zhiwen from the next school came to him at the time, but Dapeng thought he sang too well and was afraid of being robbed again, so he refused.
Later, Dapeng came up with an album, met a company, and was cheated of 38,000 yuan.
But Dapeng did not give up.
Later, when he was drifting north at a music company in Beijing, he was promoted to become an employee of Sohu, and slowly became a signed artist under Sohu, and it was at this time that he met Liu Yan.
Later, Dapeng planned to shoot "Di Si Men" and wanted to find Liu Yan to participate together.
At that time, insiders had a very bad impression of online dramas, and many regular actors "scorned" this art form, thinking that it was a child's trick.
Although Liu Yan also thinks so, she feels that it is not easy for Dapeng to struggle, so from the perspective of supporting her friends, she agreed to participate in the performance.
Unexpectedly, this decision made Liu Yan have some sluggish career and made a qualitative leap.
At that time, after the broadcast of "Di Si Men", there was a big fire, and the little sister of the foot bath shop played by Liu Yan also gained a lot of passers-by.
Since then, another path in Liu Yan's career has been completely opened, and many comedy films have come to her for filming.
From "Detective No Two" to "Breakup Master" to "Passing Through Your World", many popular dramas have Liu Yan's figure, and she has slowly got rid of the label of "vase".
In 2019, she collaborated with Dapeng on "Beneficiary", which once again pushed her to the peak of acting.
At that time, Dapeng was planning to shoot "Beneficiary" and wanted to ask Liu Yan to be the protagonist.
Although it is also a comedy, the film is full of black humor, depicting the sadness of small people, and the acting skills required are very high.
Many people are worried that Liu Yan is not acting well, and they don't want her to act.
In the end, it was Dapeng who pushed the crowd and invited his friends into the crew.
And Liu Yan did not disappoint Dapeng, the whole drama, she put the female anchor Miao Miao's various emotional dramas very well in place.
In particular, the part where she removes her makeup not only tells her childhood story, but also profoundly shows the difficulty of life of small people.
As a result, she not only received a nomination for the Best Actress of the Golden Rooster Award, but also won many awards in China.
For Liu Yan, Dapeng is not only a friend, but also a relative.
Liu Yan's father died, and Dapeng appeared in the hospital for the first time.
Even the movie "The Beneficiary" was deliberately released by Dapeng on Liu Yan's birthday on November 8.
Later, in an interview with the media, Dapeng said that I didn't have any birthday gifts for her, so I gave her this movie as a gift.
As a friend of the opposite sex, Liu Yan is very cautious in handling the relationship with Dapeng.
Dapeng with his wife and daughter
She said that from the moment she knew him, I knew he was married and that I was unmarried, so she kept a deliberate distance from Dapeng.
Although there are many rumors from the outside world, she guards this friendship with her own heart.
In 2019, in view of Zhu Dan's fancy slips, the final of "Actors Please Take Place" invited Liu Yan, who had not hosted for a long time, to come to the rescue.
Unexpectedly, at the age of 39, although she has not stood on the stage for many years to host, she firmly controls the whole scene during the 5-hour live broadcast, and there is no mistake at all.
At the end of the hosting, many variety shows threw olive branches to Liu Yan, including the popular programs "Ace to Ace" and "Run Bar Brothers", as well as the emotional "New Blind Date Conference", Liu Yan once again appeared frequently in front of the audience.
At this time, people understood that Liu Yan, the former beautiful host, had been working hard, and although the road was bumpy, she had never given up.
