In October 2021, a video of Li Yapeng showing his cooking skills on the Internet swept the Internet.
In the video, Li Yapeng fried lamb outdoors and rubbed cumin grains with his hands.
The result is a darker meat color.
Tragically, netizens complained that the cooking skills were not refined: the fire was large, the oil was wide, and the paste was gone.
This is not the first time that Li Yapeng has been disliked for cooking.
Before his "plucked potato block", he only saw the sugar water and did not see the pulling.
Let netizens look confused.
Although Li Yapeng in the video often emphasizes that he loves to cook.
But love to do and do well, there is also a Nicholas Tse in the middle.
Because sharp-eyed people have found:
From actors to businessmen, to food bloggers to endorse life, become "Internet celebrities".
Isn't the direction of Li Yapeng's efforts on the short video platform exactly a "road" for Nicholas Tse?
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="147" > different roles, the same "faults"</h1>
Li Yapeng was born in 1971 in Liudaowan, Urumqi, Xinjiang, 9 years older than Xie Tingfeng.
Because the first high-yield coal well of the Liudaowan Coal Mine was drilled here, it was also called "No. 1 Vertical Well".
"No. 1 Lijing" later became Li Yapeng's screen name on social platforms.
When Li Yapeng was a child
Father Li is an engineer at the local mining bureau, and Mother Li is a doctor.
Li Yapeng is the second son of the Li family.
His brother was two years older than him, but he was born on the same day as Li Yapeng in the same month.
Decades later, the two brothers broke into Lijiang and were known all over the city.
Li Yapeng and Li Yawei
Li Yapeng grew up following behind his engineer father, watching his father fix TV and staying for half a day.
In short, he was cultivated from a young age with the heart of a science and engineering man, and his life goal was to become a scientist and an engineer.
But the first love girlfriend "changed" his trajectory.
Originally, after the college entrance examination that year, Li Yapeng was ready to apply for Harbin University of Science and Technology.
As a result, that year, the Central Academy of Drama came to Xinjiang to recruit literary and art students.
Li Yapeng, who accompanied his first love girlfriend to the interview, is like Zhou Xun, who accompanied Jia Hongsheng to the "Daming Palace Words" crew interview many years later.
Let the examiner take a look at it.
Because of love.
Li Yapeng resolutely gave up his dream of being an engineer and followed his girlfriend to Beijing to study Chinese opera.
Due to the lack of psychological construction of being an actor.
When I first entered the school, learning to liberate nature, Li Yapeng was crying after drilling under the crotch of people's pants.
He felt hurt his self-esteem.
It may be that the starting point is not from hobbies.
Even if he became famous later, Li Yapeng only filmed a few months of scenes every year, and most of the time was left for himself to do something he liked.
This has also become an important reason for him to change the track of his life in the future.
Fast forward to 1999.
This year, an artist named Nicholas Tse in Hong Kong came out, and his first Chinese album "Thank You for Your Love 1999" sold out.
The following year, 20-year-old Xiao Xie led Dong Jie, then a "girl", to the stage of the Spring Festival Gala.
2000 Spring Festival Gala
Similarly, Li Yapeng, who became an actor in Beijing in 1999, relied on the TV series "Love to the End" that had been broadcast the previous year.
He tasted the taste of popularity for the first time, and the joke continued.
The following year, he received a call from director Zhang Jizhong and got the opportunity to star in the CCTV version of "Smiling Proud of the Jianghu" male protagonist Ling Huchong, and has since embarked on the "altar".
"Smiling Proud of the River" Li Yapeng played Ling Huchong
Incidentally, it was 1999.
Faye Wong, who developed in Japan, also won the Asian Music Award at the 41st Japan Record Awards with a song "Eyes on Me".
Li Yapeng and Xie Tingfeng, two names that could not have been hung together in this life.
Because of Faye Wong, it has objectively become a "related word" in the mouth of public opinion.
Although one is Tianhou's ex-husband and the other is Tianhou's boyfriend, the roles are different.
But there is a common "problem" - doing business.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="200" > each has a destiny, or is it the same destination? </h1>
Unlike many artists who have gone through the business world and only then have entered the business world.
Li Yapeng and Xie Tingfeng began to do "trading" as early as when they were most popular.
In 1999, Nicholas Tse's debut Chinese album "Thank You for Your Love 1999" sold 1 million copies.
Divided, commercial performance, he made a lot of money.
Unlike others who have the money to buy a car and go to a nightclub.
Nicholas Tse, 19, took all the money to invest in real estate.
At the age of 21, when he released the album "Jade Butterfly", he was keenly aware that there was no high-quality post-production company in Hong Kong.
So with the money earned from the previous investment, he set up a professional post-production company called "PO Chaoting".
Similarly, After Li Yapeng finished filming "Smiling Proud of the Rivers and Lakes", he and his brother also established the "Beijing Beautiful Spring Culture Communication Co., Ltd." with his brother.
The first star signed was Jinggangshan, who was in the mainland music scene that year.
The spokesperson of Wahaha Pure Water before Wang Lihong was this big brother.
Jinggang Mountain
In addition, Li Yapeng also invested in TV dramas.
Later, when interviewed by Lu Yu, Li Yapeng admitted frankly: At that time, he invested all the 8 million yuan in his hand.
In 2003, the TV series "Beach" starring Li Yapeng and Zhou Xun was also filmed with his own money.
But the same business, the ending is a little different.
Nicholas Tse's post-production company has gradually grown from a dozen people in the early days of its establishment to hundreds of people.
Customers all over the world's top 500.
He has participated in the post-production of "Firefighting Hero", "Chinese Partner", "1942" and other films.
Nicholas Tse has made a lot of noise in the business world, with industries throughout film and television, fashion, and catering.
Took a stake in the world-renowned special effects company "Digital Kingdom".
From the spokesperson of the sports brand Xtep, he finally became one of the shareholders of Xtep.
Nicholas Tse was selected as one of the HKUST's Top 10 MBA Cases, the first Chinese to be included in a global MBA case.
Together with Ma Huateng and Li Ka-shing, he appeared in the financial literature "Wending" and became one of the 55 representative corporate figures.
On Li Yapeng's side, it seems that there are bumps along the way.
In particular, his real estate project in Lijiang is well known throughout the country.
In 2013, Li Yapeng and his brother Li Yawei, who claimed to have invested 3.5 billion yuan, developed the "Snow Mountain Art Town" project next to The Ancient Town of Shuhe in Lijiang.
Including Liu Jialing, Gao Yuanyuan, na Ying.
Many entertainment industry stars have bought properties here and become Li Yapeng's customers.
But it is this project that makes Li Yapeng leave an impression of being bad at business to the people of the whole country.
In the end, he was in debt of up to 40 million.
So that after ending the marriage relationship with Faye Wong, some media speculated whether there was damage to Faye Wong's personal property during the period.
You might ask.
The same businessman who came out of the entertainment industry, why is the "gap" between Li Yapeng and Nicholas Tse so obvious?
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="238" > had Nicholas Tse's "illness", but did not have Tse Tingfeng's life</h1>
Li Yapeng and Nicholas Tse's love for doing business comes from the heart and is visible to the naked eye.
The difference is that Nicholas Tse is more pragmatic as a businessman.
At the age of 19, Nicholas Tse's first investment was to buy a house.
The investment principle is simple and practical, and it can be completely boarded on today's "financial chicken soup":
"Money is like running water, sooner or later it will run out, but the bricks will not go."
Sigh, 19 years old.
Li Yapeng's story is just the opposite.
He has a talent for business.
In 1993, Li Yapeng, who was still studying in Chinese opera, was a super fan of rock music.
So I had a bold idea and got the "Tang Dynasty" band to go to urumqi in my hometown to hold a concert.
Xiao Li went to knock on the door of 87 companies to pull sponsorship.
Finally, at a cost of 97,000 yuan, 140,000 yuan of tickets were sold.
Net earned 40,000.

Urumqi in the 1980s
Originally, the story ended here, and the little genius of business was about to come out.
"But" came.
With this profit, Li Yapeng let his classmate Wang Xuebing print countless coated paper posters and customize thousands of T-shirts.
Send it back to Urumqi and ask people to run to the streets and send it all away.
That summer in Urumqi in 1993.
The city is full of rock 'n' roll.
Countless promotional materials, through every street, brought the taste of rock and roll to this ancient city for the first time.
It is not difficult to see from Li Yapeng's "riot operation."
He has capital letters "sentiment" and "idealism" on his forehead.
In fact, the "Snow Mountain Art Town" that made him stumble many years later also carries a strong "ideal" spirit.
In Li Yapeng's grand plan, there are mountains and rivers here, integrating business, art, cultural creation, and home.
In order to create a garden landscape for the villa, regardless of the cost, from Beijing to Pixian County, Sichuan Province, to purchase camellias.
Li Yapeng once said publicly:
"I enjoy the sense of accomplishment that comes with doing things more than making money."
On the other hand, Nicholas Tse will hire professionals to help him run the company and negotiate business.
In contrast, Nicholas Tse's life creed is also sharper:
“Live a legend，die a legend ”
(Living is legendary, dead is legendary)
The association with the catering industry originated from a TV show called "Twelve Sharp Tastes" made by Nicholas Tse.
Because of the great success, he launched his own IP "Fengwei".
Combines personal star charm, love of food, and professional content production skills.
Video released by Nicholas Tse: fast-paced and young in form.
Douyin alone has gained more than 7 million fans.
The content of Li Yapeng's video obviously belongs to the traditional cultural tone that he personally prefers.
Every time he was a solar term, he would have a slightly embarrassed expression, but shout a name for the festival in his voice.
In addition to the relatively "clumsy" manipulation of meals, visit three or five literati friends.
Experience "firewood" incense.
Spend 300 yuan from the mountains to buy a stone, happy like "three years old".
Although Li Yapeng's videos still have many traces of imitation of other broadcasters.
But the "idealism" he has always insisted on, the feelings behind it, sometimes still really hit others:
In 2019, I passed by the "Elk Market" in Dali.
There are a lot of wandering artists in it.
Without such a venue, it is difficult for these people to be so concentrated and to receive such intensive attention.
And a table of young people around the hot pot, knocking on bamboo chopsticks, borrowing wine to vigorously shout "a laugh in the sea".
It was also the most wonderful picture I had ever seen that year.
Elk Market
I learned later.
The "Elk Market" was founded by Li Yapeng.
Therefore, life is like a "seat".
Sometimes dishes can be made into paste.
But people can't.
