In the 90s of the last century, when Li Yifeng, a boy in Chengdu, was still called Li He, he received the first love letter in his life. In order to reply to the girl's letter, Li Yifeng also learned the first English sentence in his life: I LOVE YOU.
But at that time, everyone was still a primary school student, and the girls did not understand what this Sentence meant in English, so the spark of "love" that was not understood in the bud was suddenly extinguished.
But Li Yifeng was not sad, because the spark of stars could burn the plains, and it didn't take long for the love letters in his desk to be stuffed.
When he went to junior high school, Li Yifeng grew older and more handsome, and belonged to the kind of people who did not have to perform any talent to obtain the "right of priority mate selection".
When Li Yifeng was in the first year of junior high school, he was blocked by the junior high school sister at the door of the class to confess, and some people blocked Li Yifeng on the way out of school to "forcibly confess"... Li Yifeng was upset by the confession, so he decided to take the initiative.
In the second year of junior high school, Li Yifeng wrote a note to the girl he liked to "confess", which read:
"Do you like to eat brown sugar?"
If you change to someone else, the girl may feel inexplicable. But under the blessing of Li Yifeng's appearance, such an inexplicable and unintelligible "confession" actually succeeded!
This also shows a problem: in the small matter of falling in love, handsome is the last word...
Li Yifeng's youthful and sweet "love" lasted until he graduated from junior high school. It's not that no one wrote him love letters when he was in high school, but that he had other "serious things" to do.
Two
In high school, Li Yifeng was wandering the streets one day, and was suddenly stopped by a person who claimed to be a "star scout" and asked him if he would like to shoot an advertisement for the wedding photo studio?
Li Yifeng grew up watching Hong Kong films, has always regarded Andy Lau as an idol, and dreams of becoming a "big star".
When the plot of the movie happened to him, Li Yifeng replied without much hesitation, "I do." ”
When he shot several commercials in a row, he found that the "print model" was still too far away from the "superstar". So he decided to learn from his compatriot Xie Na, first admitted to the Sichuan Film and Television Academy to study as a host, and then detoured into the entertainment circle.
Unexpectedly, in his freshman year, he had an opportunity to directly enter the entertainment industry.
In 2007, 20-year-old Li Yifeng participated in the talent show "Come On! Good Boy".
At the time of the competition, Hu Haiquan in the "Yu Quan" group was one of the judges. In order to pass the audition smoothly, Li Yifeng cleverly chose an original song by Hu Haiquan, "Leaves", as a singing track.
As a result, Li Yifeng's singing was indeed recognized by Hu Haiquan, and the two became good teachers and friends at first sight.
At that time, Li Yifeng did not expect that Hu Haiquan, who was 12 years older than him, would later become his guide into the entertainment industry.
With good looks and strength, coupled with the careful guidance of master Hu Haiquan, Li Yifeng wrote in "Come on! "Good Boy" passed the barrier and successfully broke into the top ten in the country.
Just when everyone was expecting Li Yifeng to get better results, he was eliminated and only won the eighth place in the country and the "most affinity award", resulting in fans who like him wondering if there is a cat in it.
After the competition, Li Yifeng became the only one among the top ten players who "engaged in special and did not sign a contract".
However, Li Yifeng's popularity has always been high, and he is also known as the "Four Young people of the City" with Jing Bairan, Fu Xinbo and Qiao Renliang.
After his debut, others have their own companies to help take care of and plan, Li Yifeng did not sign a contract with the company, and some people are worried that he will not be "banned" for this.
At this moment, Li Yifeng's master Hu Haiquan stood up.
Three
In 2007, 20-year-old Li Yifeng signed to Hu Haiquan's EQ Records and released his debut EP album "Clover" with the support of Hu Haiquan. And this new song is adapted from "Leaves" composed by Hu Haiquan.
In addition to giving his years of private collections to Li Yifeng, Hu Haiquan also helped him release his first semi-autobiographical photo album , "Time Is Always in Circles - Li Yifeng's Private Film".
After the release of this photo album, it was quickly bought out by fans.
For a time, Li Yifeng became the best mixed one among the "Four Young People in the City" and was known as the "National School Grass".
But at first, Li Yifeng's "national school grass" was deeply loved and scolded.
When a reporter asked him how he evaluated the boss Hu Haiquan's "Four-Leaf Clover", he wanted to make a joke and ridicule, saying, "Not bad, but after all, it is a song written by an elderly person, maybe with me or ..."
However, many people only remember that key word, "old age".
After the report was issued, many people accused Li Yifeng of "speaking wildly and not respecting the teacher."
But Li Yifeng did not learn his lesson, and it did not take long to "speak amazingly" again.
Four
In 2008, 21-year-old Li Yifeng won the "Best Newcomer EP Award" in the "First Mengniu Yogurt Music Award". The host asked him to give an acceptance speech, and he did not expect Li Yifeng to come to such a paragraph:
"Now is the thirty years of reform and opening up, I also hope that our entertainment industry should also learn from reform and opening up, let a group of new people first become popular, and then drive the entire entertainment industry."
In addition to the applause, Li Yifeng also liked the nickname of "Li Political Commissar".
Subsequently, Li Yifeng continued to exert his strength, successively launched the single "Ferris Wheel" and the music album "Mr. Little", and held his first concert at the Shanghai Majestic Theatre.
Although the concert was full, Li Yifeng always had a "sense of crisis".
This sense of crisis comes from his "human sobriety."
Li Yifeng deeply knows that he is liked because he has traffic and appearance, not because he has works and strength, and this simple like is very unstable.
Fans can like themselves today and can like others tomorrow.
As a result, Li Yifeng, as a super popular idol, made a "difficult but correct decision".
Five
In 2010, the 23-year-old Li Yifeng officially started filming a TV series after participating in "The Prince of Tennis" and prepared to transform into an actor.
For a popular idol who is not from a science class, this decision is not easy. But Li Yifeng was determined to transform, so he could only put his posture to the minimum and learn with an open mind.
When filming the TV series "Happiness Must Be Strong", Li Yifeng suffered a lot.
Because there was no professional training, and the communication with the opponent actors was not in place, a scene that was slapped, Li Yifeng was slapped more than a dozen times before passing. After filming, Li Yifeng's face on one side was red and swollen.
Although he suffered a lot, he had no complaints, saying that he still had to learn from his predecessors with an open mind, hoping that he could grow up earlier.
Fortunately, although the acting skills are slightly green, many crews are willing to invite him.
For mao?
Quite simply, it's because Li Yifeng comes with its own traffic!
Li Yifeng can not only ensure the ratings of TV series, sometimes during the publicity period, he can also use it to stir up gossip with the heroine and improve the topic of TV series.
As a result, Li Yifeng became a "traffic package" and was "purchased" by various crews.
For the matter of stir-frying scandals, Li Yifeng is also very clear in his heart. But at that time, his acting skills were not yet online, he had no right to speak, and he could only keep a distance from the gossip heroines as much as possible, but he was not ashamed to ask.
Unexpectedly, later this model spread throughout the industry, and people who used it said yes. In the future, as long as it is Li Yifeng's film and television drama, it is "the drama has not been released, and the scandal has come first." ”
Among the countless scandals, only one person was Li Yifeng who had real feelings.
Six
In 2012, when 25-year-old Li Yifeng starred in the TV series "Honey Fang of Love", he had a scandal with Lee Do-hae, a Korean beauty who played the female number one.
At that time, it was during the broadcast of "Love Honey Fang", and the heroine of the scandal was still Korean, 3 years older than Li Yifeng, so even if someone found out that Li Yifeng secretly flew to Seoul, South Korea, everyone took this "news" as a hype.
But what I never expected was that this "scandal" that no one paid attention to was the only true love that Li Yifeng had admitted so far.
It's just that when Li Yifeng personally admitted it, it was already two years later.
On April 1, 2014, Li Yifeng signed a contract with Huanrui Century.
At that time, Huanrui had just released two explosive TV series" "Palace Lock Heart Jade" and "Palace Lock Bead Curtain", which became popular with Yang Mi and Yuan Shanshan, such as the sun in the sky.
Huanrui also wanted to go up to the next level, so he pulled in super popular idols Li Yifeng and Ma Tianyu, plus Yang Mi, who was gaining momentum, to cooperate with a fairy drama "Ancient Sword Qitan".
During the publicity of "Ancient Sword Qitan", Li Yifeng followed the crew to participate in MangoTai's "Happy Base Camp". After the game session, the host He Jiong "inexplicably" asked Li Yifeng when was the last time he cried?
Li Yifeng followed He Jiong's words and explained that he had just ended a relationship, and the other party was Korean.
Although Li Yifeng did not mention the name of his Korean girlfriend, many people felt that he was talking about Li Duohai.
It was only at this time that the melon-eating masses suddenly realized that the scandal of two years ago was not hype, but true.
After the broadcast of "Ancient Sword Qitan", it won the national ratings championship in the same period, and later the network broadcast volume exceeded 5 billion. Although some people have always questioned the authenticity of the "5 billion" data, the show was really hot at the time.
The role of "Baili Tusu" played by Li Yifeng has expanded his appearance advantage infinitely.
After the broadcast of this drama, Li Yifeng firmly sat on the throne of "small fresh meat of traffic", and became the representative figure of "the first generation of traffic students" with Yang Yang, Lu Han and Wu Yifan.
Even Li Yifeng himself felt that a new era of his own had arrived.
But no one expected that Li Yifeng's first stroke in the new era was still a woman.
Seven
This woman's name was Dong Keyan, and she was Li Yifeng's agent at that time.
After Li Yifeng became popular in "Ancient Sword Qitan", Dong Keyan has always wanted to use Li Yifeng's popularity to bring new people to the company. Originally, there was nothing wrong with bringing new people, but Dong Keyan's approach was a bit radical, coming and going, angering Li Yifeng's fans.
Li Yifeng fans posted a long article on Weibo, shelling Dong Keyan as Li Yifeng's agent, "not only did not act, but also engaged in yellow magazine shooting several times, maliciously offended the media, and rudely pushed off the high-end commercial performances of artists..."
As soon as the long article came out, it quickly got the response of Li Yifeng's fan group "Bee", setting off a frenzy of public opinion on the Internet.
And Dong Keyan, also very rigid, not only did not instigate, but also sent a paragraph in the circle of friends: "Holding you, is a cup; not holding you, is a scum." This was interpreted as an air response to the shelling incident, and the contradictions between the two sides further intensified.
That night, a topic called "Please Huanrui Face up to the DKY incident" was hotly searched.
The next day, Huanrui had to issue a statement, claiming that the company had made a deal that would improve and strengthen Li Yifeng's brokerage team.
Subsequently, Dong Keyan posted that he had left Huanrui, and next, Li Yifeng's brokerage appointment was personally responsible for By Jia Shikai, deputy general manager of Huanrui.
After the Dong Keyan incident subsided, Li Yifeng entered the "year of high productivity".
This year, he first starred in the online literary classic IP "Notes from the Tomb Robber" with Yang Yang, another super popular idol, and then starred in the TV series "Living Color" with Tang Yan.
In addition to the broadcast of two TV series, this year, Li Yifeng also had two movies released. One is "Gardenia Blossom" directed by He Jiong, and the other is "Sudden Star Movement" by partner Yang Mi.
Among them, the movie "Sudden Star Movement" cooperated with Yang Mi, because there were too many passion scenes, the two spread various scandals.
One of the most outrageous ones actually sensationally said "Yang Mi beat Li Yifeng's tires."
Seeing that the matter was getting more and more exaggerated, the two had to come out to refute the rumors.
After the storm subsided, Li Yifeng was still not happy.
Because although the quantity of their own works has gone up, the quality is always a hard wound.
Some people even asked "how to evaluate Li Yifeng's acting skills" on Zhihu, and there was actually a high praise answer: "I can't comment on something that doesn't exist."
In the face of various doubts, Li Yifeng thought bitterly and decided to change. Therefore, when starring in the movie "Old Cannon", he asked the director Guan Hu an inexplicable and unclear sentence.
Eight
Li Yifeng asked Guan Hu, "Can you protect me?" ”
Guan Hu was shocked to hear this, and his face was confused. Li Yifeng quickly explained that he meant that he hoped that Guan Hu would not think of himself as a "traffic package" that could only contribute to the topic, but would treat him as a real actor.
After listening to this explanation, Guan Huhu's suspicious eyes finally had a little more recognition.
Finally, under the tutelage of director Guan Hu, Li Yifeng's partners Feng Xiaogang, Xu Qing, and Zhang Hanyu successfully won the "Best Supporting Actor of the 33rd Hundred Flowers Awards for Popular Films" with the role of his son "Zhang Xiaobo" in "Old Cannon".
Originally, winning the award was a matter of great joy for everyone, but because the people li Yifeng defeated in that session were Duan Yihong, Zhang Yi and Xia Yu... As a result, this result is very intriguing, and topics such as "traffic ruined the Hundred Flowers Award" have exploded on social networks.
The TV series "Sparrow" and "Qingyunzhi" broadcast in the same year made Li Yifeng's "facial paralysis acting skills" once again brushed the screen.
In the face of overwhelming doubts, Li Yifeng did not respond, did not argue, but silently used his own way to improve his acting skills.
In 2017, just when his and Wu Xin's scandals were flying all over the world, he immersed himself in studying acting skills.
He carefully observed the details of Jiang Wen's performance, combined with the body movements of Xiao Lizi, and sometimes in order to be accurate in filming, he would even soak in the mud for a day, because he was worried that the muddy water would dry up and wear gangs...
In the eight months of filming the movie "Animal World", Li Yifeng did not hear anything out of the window and devoted himself to the role of "Zheng Kaisi".
This time, Li Yifeng's efforts were not in vain.
After the release of the movie, Li Yifeng received countless praise. The "Zheng Kaisi" he played is no longer "paralyzed", and there is a fierceness and determination in his eyes.
In the end, the movie Douban scored 7.2, and there was a comment that said: "Li Yifeng finally has his own masterpiece."
Good things come in pairs, Li Yifeng's film "Psychological Sin" was also broadcast this year, and he used a crying scene to prove that the success of "Animal World" is not accidental, but Li Yifeng's acting skills are really no longer what they used to be.
Just when many people were looking forward to what kind of surprises actor Li Yifeng would bring to everyone in the future, they did not expect that the drama had not yet been broadcast, and the scandal was arranged again.
Nine
At the end of 2018, just when everyone was still immersed in the joy of the New Year's Eve, Li Yifeng once again exposed his "new love", and this time he was with an Internet celebrity named "Bay Bay".
Everyone sees these two incongruous names put together and knows that this is another "touching porcelain marketing". Sure enough, before the melon was finished, the Internet celebrity "Bay Bay" immediately came out to deny the relationship, and also said that he was also confused.
Whether "Bay Bay" was real or false, she knew best in her heart.
Li Yifeng has long been surprised by this kind of "touching porcelain marketing", just issued a statement denying the love affair, did not explain more, but concentrated on acting in the crew of "Hidden and Great".
On March 30, 2019, Li Yifeng and Huanrui Century's 5-year contract expired, and the two parties did not renew their contracts and peacefully broke up.
There is no tearing, no disputes, and all that remains is a blessing for each other's future.
After Li Yifeng left Huanrui, he joined the "Bo ZhongXinghe" founded by the agent Zhang Axin, and became the boss himself.
With enough autonomy, Li Yifeng's path as an actor has become clearer.
This year, he first starred in the military drama "Trumpeter in Place", and then played "Young Mao Zedong" in the movie "Revolutionary".
Although he only played a supporting role in "The Revolutionary", being able to play a great leader shows that the mainstream recognizes his acting skills.
At the beginning, Li Yifeng was questioned as the representative of the "first generation of flow small fresh meat", but he did not give up on himself, and he did not do what "signing gentleman" like other "small fresh meat" representatives.
Traffic is not the original sin, but many people are always unable to get out of the traffic dilemma. With his own efforts to fade the aura of traffic, Li Yifeng became a real actor.
Nowadays, traffic representatives such as Li Yifeng and Yi Yiqianxi have transformed successively, giving other traffic stars a good start. However, the sky of the entertainment industry is changing rapidly, and if you want to stand up to the tide and not fall, you still have to practice your internal skills.
