In 1993, Li Yapeng was a student of Chinese opera.
He and chen jianbin and Wang Xuebing, two fellow Villagers in Xinjiang in the class, huddled together to keep warm and went everywhere to make money.
Compared with the small role of the palace guard played by the two compatriots, Li Yapeng got the opportunity to star early and got a higher salary.
However, during this period, he was very emotional and did not go out to pick up the play, because his girlfriend Liu Yan broke up with him.
Two fellow villagers in the same class also sighed after hearing about this.
Liu Yan is Li Yapeng's first love, both grew up in Urumqi No. 1 Lijing, and Li Yapeng can enter the Chinese opera, and also has a direct relationship with Liu Yan.
In high school, Li Yapeng studied science with good grades, and his college entrance examination scores have reached the admission line of HIT.
Girlfriend Liu Yan is next door liberal arts class, bent on learning to act, just in 1990 the Chinese opera in Xinjiang expansion, Liu Yan was very nervous when signing up, considerate Li Yapeng followed the registration to accompany the exam.
During the interview, he sang a song "Love Song 1990", although the singing stumbled, but the tall and handsome appearance still conquered the teacher, and finally Li Yapeng was admitted to the Chinese opera with a high score of more than 500 points.
Li Yapeng transformed from a science and engineering bully to an actor because of a woman, which also seems to indicate that he was the murderer of his later acting career.

In the same year, in September, a young man from Heilongjiang stepped into the Shanghai Theater Academy with great expectations.
His name was Ren Quan, and after graduating from junior high school, he became a literary and artistic soldier and was admitted to university in the army.
He was the oldest in the class, but Big Brother failed to play an exemplary role, and almost every exam was the first to last.
In order to study, Ren Quan often asked a female scholar in the class for advice, her name was Li Bingbing, her appearance was sweet, and when she laughed, she was intoxicated.
In his freshman year, Ren Quan participated in an activity as a student representative, and was lucky to eat at a table with Zhang Guorong, when Ren Quan was very restrained, he did not expect that the big star Zhang Guorong took the initiative to give him a dish and gently said to him: "Eat." ”
Ren Quan was suddenly like a spring breeze, he said that he learned a simple lesson that day: take the initiative to help people pick vegetables at the dinner table.

In 1995, Li Yapeng returned to Beijing from Urumqi to participate in the TV series "The Story of Late Autumn in Beijing", during which he met Ke Lan, a Beijing girl, and the two subsequently fell in love.
Under the matchmaking of his new girlfriend, he obtained more acting resources and starred in movies such as "Instant Noodle Times" and "Beijing-Hong Kong Love Line", and his popularity suddenly came up.
In 1997, he broke up with Ke Lan and got along with Qu Ying.
Qu Ying just starred in Zhang Yimou's "Have Something to Say", the limelight is in full swing, and with this love affair, Li Yapeng's popularity has increased again.
Li Yapeng knows how to please girls, in front of the media, he described himself as "Coke", Qu Ying is "Sprite", "this is very attractive to me".
Then he got to know Xu Jinglei and starred in "Carry Love to the End", and his career reached a small climax.
In 2000, Zhang Jizhong's "Smiling Proud of the Jianghu" began filming, so that Shao Bing, the actor of Fox Chong, offended Zhang Jizhong because of playing a big card, and was driven out of the crew by the beard before filming, and Li Yapeng became a substitute, thus opening his own era of heroes.
In October of the following year, Li Yapeng entered the crew of "The Legend of the Eagle Shooter", and Played Guo Jing and Huang Rong with Zhou Xun respectively.
During the filming, the lover Qu Ying also deliberately ran to the crew to visit the class and send sweet greetings.
When she saw that her boyfriend was not only inconvenient to live on Peach Blossom Island, but also disturbed by tourists when filming, she ruthlessly accused the crew of being irresponsible to the media.
Unexpectedly, shortly after this visit, the media exposed that Li Yapeng and Zhou Xun had an affair because of the drama.
On the 18th day after the visit, Qu Ying was told by Li Yapeng to "break up", and the love that lasted for 3 years came to an end.
In an interview with the media, the angry Qu Ying talked about the reason for the breakup: of course, he could deny (Zhou Xun intervened), he himself knew why, anyway, I was very frank.
On the other hand, Zhou Xun did not back down.
He even praised Li Yapeng in public for "satisfying all my fantasies about men."

In 2000, Ren Quan, who had just graduated for 3 years, had a certain reputation.
This year, he starred in "Young Bao Qingtian", played Gongsun Ce in the play, and the image of white clothes was popular throughout the country for a while.
Later, he cooperated with a popular actress at that time in "All Angels Caused by Trouble", played a handsome doctor in the play, and also played the sentient and righteous Liu Fusheng in "One Foot in the Country".
Ren Quan is well known to the audience because of his elegant and handsome image.
Soon after, the media also selected the "four major students" of the new century: Li Yapeng, Lu Yi, Chen Kun, and Ren Quan.
Among them, Li Yapeng, who has works and popularity, is the most fierce, while Ren Quan, whose works and roles are not weighty enough, has been evaluated as "making up numbers".
Ren Quan did not become upset because of these discussions, he did not care about the number of people in the ranking, and it did not matter if he did not even enter the list.
In his heart, although he is becoming more and more famous, the importance of acting is slowly decreasing.
Because on another track outside of acting, he's already started running at full speed.
5、
In May 2003, when Li Yapeng was recording a program on CCTV, he solemnly announced that he and Zhou Xun were in love.
However, this relationship still comes and goes in a hurry.
At the media meeting in July of that year, Zhou Xun had changed his title to "Mr. Li Yapeng".
There are many reasons for the breakup, there are speculations that Li Yapeng "flower heart", "empathy and love", but a number of media reports quoted an insider, saying that Zhou Xun wanted to get married, Li Yapeng felt that the timing was not appropriate, so he agreed to break up.
Li Yapeng's emotional window period did not last long.
Soon Faye Wong entered his world.
At that time, Nicholas Tse and Cecilia Cheung revived their old love because of the co-production of "Wuji", Feng Fei fell in love, and Faye Wong resumed being single.
And Li Yapeng took the Beijing circle because of Xu Jinglei's relationship, and further sat on the mahjong game between Na Ying and Faye Wong, and he and Faye Wong echoed it.
Li Yapeng also made a bloody bet in order to chase After Faye Wang.
Faye Wong chases every concert, he spends millions of dollars to buy tickets to send friends, Faye Wong talked about either Dou Wei's rock prodigal son, or Xie Tingfeng's Hong Kong hipster, Li Yapeng's rough Xinjiang Man has a great sense of freshness and seduction for her.
The two came together and entered the palace of marriage.
And Li Yapeng also became the husband of the Queen of Heaven, and then reached the peak of his career.
In 2006, their daughter Li Yan was born, Li Yan suffered from congenital cleft lip and palate, Li Yapeng and Faye Wong founded the Yanran Angel Foundation to help Chinese children with cleft lip and palate treat diseases, which won countless praises.
With a successful career, a happy marriage, and love, Li Yapeng at that time was almost synonymous with winning in life.
But only he himself knows that another track he has laid out with a lot of money is already full of dangers.

Ren Quan loves money, and he never denies it.
In 1997, not long after leaving the school, Ren Quan began to think about how to make money.
His goal: to have a small house, a Santana, and 500,000 savings.
He saw that his classmate Li Bingbing often filmed advertisements and made a lot of money, so he found Li Bingbing and three other classmates, each borrowed 30,000 yuan, and opened a cheap Sichuan restaurant next to the school, named Shudi Times.
Because the term of the loan is 3 months, in order to save money, Ren Quan is busy and busy, and he is also a store manager and a waiter.
After 3 months, the hotel did not return the money, and he used the film remuneration returned from acting to repay the money of his classmates first.
When his classmates were busy running the crew after graduation, he was carefully running his own Sichuan restaurant.
He later said in an interview that he was at a quick and quick age, and the idea was simple, that is, he wanted to make more money to change his life and his family's life.
In order to run his own restaurant, he specially took the chef's certificate, and would take the initiative to talk with the vendors' cleaning and security guards, ask them about their wages, and then calculate the profits himself.
He does everything himself, and many of his business tricks are learned and used.
Half a year later, Ren Quan thoroughly explored the doorway of the restaurant, and soon the Sichuan restaurant made money, and there was a long queue at the door as soon as it arrived at the weekend.
Because he had a lot of practical experience, Ren Quan later walked into a restaurant and knew whether he could make money here.
After the hotel was on the right track, Ren Quan returned to the road of actors, and under the recommendation of his old classmate Li Bingbing, Ren Quan also signed a contract with Huayi, and the pair also cooperated in many works after the same window.
In 2006, Huayi intended to expand its overseas film and television territory, and during a dinner party, Ren Quan listened to the high talk of others and bought 2 million shares of Huayi in a vacuum.
On October 30, 2009, Huayi went public, and Ren Quan got a return of 30 million yuan.
Ren Quan was startled by his own calculation of the yield, and he began to think.
Looking at the 30 million, he plucked up the courage and decided to go to the capital market to give it a go.

Li Yapeng doesn't seem to love money that much.
At least in an interview with the media, he said it himself, and the original words were "I don't care much about money."
He also gave many examples to prove this.
For example, when he invested in the filming of "Beach" earlier, he booked five-star hotels for the crew;
For example, all his work expenses in the Yanran Fund, Li Yapeng said that they were self-funded and did not use the foundation's money.
But such a man who "doesn't care too much about money" has long been tied to capital.
In 1998, Li Yapeng received 500,000 venture capital and founded an Internet company while filming in San Francisco, and Li Yapeng specifically described himself as "a pioneer of It in China".
In 2000, the Internet bubble arrived, and Li Yapeng's first venture also failed.
But his passion for business has not been extinguished.
In the same year, he founded a wedding service platform, online and offline, and also published the "Wedding" magazine, which resulted in a problem with the issue number and finally disappeared.
But these small setbacks are nothing.
A year later, he founded a film and television company called "Beijing Beautiful Spring", which began to involve the investment and production of TV series, and in a few years, he also launched a number of works and made some money.
Li Yapeng, who was getting more and more appetizing, began to lay out across borders.
In 2005, he invested heavily in opening a bar, VIP ROOM, in The Jing'an District, where the nightlife is most lively, on Urumqi North Road.
Celebrities from all walks of life in Shanghai heard that Li Yapeng opened it, and they all regarded this as the main choice for friends and entertainment, but they needed to spend money to get a card if they wanted to come in.
Unfortunately, after more than a year of operation, the bar business took a sharp turn for the worse, and soon after Li Yapeng withdrew, the bar was renamed and renovated.
Li Yapeng also invested in a nightclub in Sanlitun, Beijing, and joined hands with fellow villager Wang Xuebing, the name of the store is very interesting, it is called "night color", the main "dating" function.
However, the following year, the nightclub was rumored to be inspected by the Beijing police for "high-end pornography services", and Li Yapeng and Wang Xuebing were also summoned by the police.
Although this matter was later completely denied by Li Yapeng's agent, it still caused a lot of impact on Li Yapeng's business.
After the bar business gradually fell lonely, Li Yapeng, who originally earned tens of millions of dollars in business, gradually became less wealthy.
In 2010, Faye Wong resumed her concert and officially announced her comeback.
Since then, Faye Wong has been busy outside, and Li Yapeng has continued to study the investment business.
In 2011, Li Yapeng paid 600,000 yuan to join Cheung Kong Graduate School of Business as a businessman, and he was ambitious.
On the first day of the business school, Li Yapeng also met many "old colleagues".
Among them were Tong Dawei and Guan Yue and his wife.
There is also Ren Quan, who is 2 years younger than himself.
Ren Quan left a very deep impression on Li Yapeng.
The first time he went to class, he smiled almost every moment, and humbly said that he was the youngest, so he let him be the class leader to "serve" everyone.
At that time, Li Yapeng was an outstanding representative of the actor's business, and he had won well-known awards in the business circle, as well as the charity foundation, and his rank was much higher than ren quan.
Even at the party after class, he was invited many times, and a female classmate at the time recalled that "a meal is less than tens of thousands of pieces."
But after the business school hurriedly parted, the fate of the two reversed.
8、
Ren Quan appeared at Cheung Kong Graduate School of Business as the owner of a film company.
After leaving Huayi in 2011, Ren Quan set up his own studio and film and television company to invest in movies.
It was also in this year that he enrolled in Cheung Kong Graduate School of Business, and he also introduced himself as the class president.
Ren Quan attaches great importance to this study, taking classes 4 days a month, and even filming has to give way to classes.
In the business school, Ren Quan also knows a lot of billionaire business elites, and he summed up the most, that is, to be a businessman to "have a broad mind".
After graduating from the business school, Ren Quan's business path is indeed like "opening and hanging".
In 2014, Ren Quan established star VC, a venture capital agency, which attracted Li Bingbing, Huang Xiaoming, Zhang Ziyi and Huang Bo to join.
In just a few years, Star VC has invested in Second Beat, Handu Clothing House, Nut Smart Home Theater, Rong360, Caijia, Quantitative Pie, etc., and the market valuation has approached 10 billion.
In terms of catering, Ren Quan has achieved bigger and stronger, when his Sichuan restaurant was called "Legend of Shudi", and now the small restaurant has become a big brand, with 7 branches in the country. And the hot and spicy No. 1 hot pot restaurant he cooperated with Li Bingbing and Huang Xiaoming also blossomed all over the country.
In fact, celebrities open hot pot restaurants is a trend, most of them are closed due to poor management, and the biggest reason why Ren Quan's hot pot shops are strong is that he has been crawling all the way.
Ren Quan also invested in Jia Ren, one of the five major fashion weekly magazines.
In the entertainment industry, an important indicator for celebrities to talk about seniority is to see if they have appeared in market magazines, the five major journals recognized are "Jia Ren", "Vogue", "Harper's Bazaar", "Fashion Cosmo" and "Elle", when other stars squeeze their heads to want to appear in these magazines, Ren Quan has become the boss behind the scenes.
When he attended a talk show last August, the host asked him in person if he was an investor in the magazine, and he said three words lightly: "There is participation." ”
In 2015, Ren Quan participated in the Boao Young Leaders Roundtable as the co-founder of Star VC, and even Wang Sicong respectfully called him "Brother Quan" and called him "the most business-minded person in the entertainment industry".
In 2017, a technology company went public in the U.S. stock market, and Ren Quan rang the bell on the New York Stock Exchange as a shareholder.
However, he soon returned to China, because the daily arrangements at home were too busy.
9、
When Ren Quan showed his skills in the media, catering, and technology sectors, Li Yapeng also found a new way to make money under the inspiration of the top rich people in the class.
He described it as "a new door opened by Heaven for itself."
So he invested in the construction of the "Chinese Academy", referred to as "Zhongshu", ready to spread the culture and beauty of Lijiang in Yunnan To the general public.
After 2010, with enthusiasm, he spent 50 million yuan on the rural academy project out of his own pocket, but it did not last long before it became yellow.
In 2013, after Li Yapeng and Faye Wong divorced, he announced his retirement from the entertainment industry and entered the real estate industry.
He spent 3.5 billion yuan to build a snowy mountain art town in Lijiang, but because of poor sales, the funds were cut off, and finally he had to sell half of the equity for 200 million.
This project also directly led to li yapeng brothers being later claimed 40 million yuan by the investor, because there was no money to repay, and Li Yapeng also became a "dishonest executor".
At this juncture, the Yanran Foundation was accelerated by the incident reported by the real name, and even the rumors of "Li Yapeng's absconding" were spread.
Li Yapeng came to the most difficult moment in her life, and even her daughter was asking her "what crime has she committed?"
However, after an investigation, the Civil Affairs Bureau said that "no corresponding problems were found in the informant", and Li Yapeng breathed a sigh of relief.
After the Setback of the Lijiang Project, Li Yapeng did not stop there, turning his attention to other provinces and cities to continue to develop cultural tourism real estate projects.
First in Zhengzhou to build "Zhengzhou Wengu", and later in Jiangxi to build "Ganzhou Wengu", but in addition to a small number of residential buildings, Li Yapeng's cultural and traditional vision seems to be far away.
In March this year, Li Yapeng's debt of 40 million yuan was exposed, which triggered heated discussions.
Now he seems to have "crossed over" again, filmed a short video of pastoral style, and personally appeared on camera.
10、
Comparing the experiences of Li Yapeng and Ren Quan, we can find that from actors to businessmen, the backgrounds of the two are extremely similar, but the two styles of behavior are completely different.
Ren Quan is a realist.
His goal in starting his first business was to have a stable income, and he set himself a goal of 5,000 yuan.
In the later business process, he always adjusted himself to ensure that he was in the most suitable state.
Ren Quan admitted that the transformation of an actor to a businessman is difficult, the actor is absolutely emotional, his first lesson in college is to learn to perform animals, completely let go of the rational side of himself, abandon logic, and purely feel that he is a rabbit.
Businessmen are absolutely rational and profit-seeking, and Ren Quan gradually honed his rationality when running a small restaurant.
He was also very determined, announcing that he would no longer be an actor after starting a business, and in the years since his debut, Ren Quan had not once reported a scandal, and who his wife was still a mystery.
Li Yapeng is an idealist.
His first venture was to enter the Internet, do wedding services and open magazines, and he was involved in the latest industries at that time.
He felt he could do everything well. In more than 20 years of business history, Li Yapeng owned 8 companies at the same time at the peak of his peak, and was jokingly called "octopus" by friends.
In fact, the reason for Li Yapeng's bumpy business journey is very simple, that is, he has ideals and no practical work.
There is no right or wrong in Li Yapeng's idealism and Ren Quan's realism.
But idealists are not suitable for doing business, and Luo Yonghao is a typical example.
Sadly, after Luo Yonghao was in debt, he also put down his face and made money by live broadcasting everywhere, and everyone said that I owed 600 million yuan, looking skinless and faceless, but at least dared to be bold.
And Li Yapeng has become an old lai, and he still wants to face the guilt.
In the first two years, when he was in debt, he made a romantic confession with his rich second-generation girlfriend, which seemed to be sending a signal to the creditor that I was rich;
After becoming Lao Lai, this year he played the pastoral style to shoot short videos to make money;
Some time ago, he was on the hot search for kissing his daughter's thigh.
Netizens ridiculed him for relying on women to get to power, but he didn't expect that he was more than half a hundred years old, and he was still relying on women to pay attention.
In the recording of the phone call exposed by the creditor, Li Yapeng said in a low voice: "I have no way to go, I need to kneel down and lie down." ”
However, in his short video, the person he created for himself is a mountain hermit who is indifferent to fame and fortune, and he is full of violations.
During this year's Chongyang Festival, Li Yapeng overturned the car again.
He said, "September 9, why is it called Chongyang Festival?" Zhang Daiyun of the Ming Dynasty said: Nine is the yang number, and its day and moon correspond to each other, so it is called Chongyang. ”
Looks very cultured, doesn't it?
But in this sentence, Zhang Dai is a celebrity, "Zhang Daiyun" is the meaning of "Zhang Dai said", this manuscript is likely to be written by the team, Li Yapeng directly said "Zhang Dai" as "Zhang Daiyun", laughing generously.
This mistake is also like Li Yapeng's business experience, pulling up the big banner as a tiger skin, looking at the feelings, the pattern is full, the vision is full, in fact, there are empty concepts and gimmicks, there is no hard work, and eventually the castle in the air has become a chicken feather.
An idealist, a poet and a writer are good, but they just ran to create a commercial map, and Li Yapeng's ending was written more than 20 years ago.
李亚鹏，他没有任泉的命，却得了任泉的“病”。
The same is the four young students of that year, the same is to give up the actor, go to the sea to do business, Li Yapeng and Ren Quan, in other words, now the two "the same way to return".
