In 2016, wang sicong's entertainment company Banana Program hosted the 2016 TRAINEE 18 Global Trainee Recruitment Program in Shanghai.
At the scene, Wang Sicong said bluntly: high appearance is one of the criteria for selection, and teased Li Yifeng.
"I have a friend who actually can't sing or dance, and this show didn't choose to sing and dance, but he was also chosen because he was good-looking." He has recently become red, and his name is Li Yifeng. ”
As soon as this word came out, it greatly annoyed Li Yifeng's fans, in fact, Wang Sicong and Li Yifeng were iron brothers.
As for this kind of ridiculous language, is this really the case?
One
Li Yifeng had a very good appearance when he was a child, which also gave him limited right to choose a mate, and received countless love letters.
At that time, Li Yifeng was still called Li He, once Li Yifeng and his mother went shopping, and the fortune teller said that the name Li He was not good, so when he returned home, Huang's mother consulted books and changed the name of her son to Li Yifeng.
Who knew that the longer and more handsome he was, just in the first year of junior high school, he was asked by the third grade sister to engage in objects, and this situation appeared many times.
In the second grade of junior high school, Li Yifeng felt that he needed to be "famous grass and master" in order not to be annoyed, and decided to take the initiative.
Li Yifeng wrote a love letter to the girls he liked, and most of them thought that the love letter was probably sweet talk, earthy love words and the like...
He wrote a strange sentence: "Do you like to eat brown sugar?" ”
This puzzling sentence actually made him confess successfully, why do you say this?
It is good-looking, and the appearance is greater than everything. In the matter of love, good looks are the biggest advantage.
Time flew by quickly, Li Yifeng soon went to high school, and the love ended without a problem.
One day, Li Yifeng was wandering around the street and was stopped by a person who asked him if he would like to make an advertisement for the wedding studio.
Most stars have such adventures, why don't we, we are ugly...
Li Yifeng's dream since he was a child is to be a star, how could he miss such an opportunity, and directly agreed.
After shooting a few times, Li Yifeng found that this situation was a little far from the star, and his ambition was far more than that.
Therefore, he decided to enter the Film and Television College of Sichuan Normal University and wanted to be closer to the entertainment industry.
After successfully entering the university, the opportunity that belonged to him immediately came.
Two
After Hunan Satellite TV launched the talent show in 2005, it swept the country, and many TV stations wanted to share a piece of the pie with such a big cake.
In 2007, Oriental Satellite TV launched the talent show "Come On Good Boy", and 20-year-old Li Yifeng felt that the opportunity had come.
At that time, Li Yifeng chose a song "Leaves" as a competition program, and it just so happened that this song was an original song that evaluated Hu Haiquan, and he really knew that he was good at it.
It is such a thing that makes Hu Haiquan a noble person on the road of Li Yifeng's life.
Li Yifeng passed the pass all the way and successfully entered the top ten in the country.
At the last moment, Li Yifeng and KIMI clashed, when he was dressed in a golden and brilliant dress, and the restrained and reserved Li Yifeng sang "Side" by "Brother" Zhang Guorong in Cantonese.
This song was pointed out by the judge Li Sisong: "You are not sexy, you can't sing the taste of this song." ”
And throughout the performance, Li Yifeng looked solemn, and was nodded by Yi Nengjing, "What emotions are disturbed when you sing." ”
Yi Neng quietly advised: "You should put a strong personality on the performance, a good performer will not easily let others see his likes and dislikes, but we can feel your emotions from you." ”
In the end, Li Yifeng only won the eighth place in the national finals and the "most affinity award".
After the game, all the players in the top ten signed contracts, but he did not. Not signing a contract does not mean that there is no popularity, on the contrary, Li Yifeng's popularity remains high, and he is called "the four young people in the city" with Jing Bairan, Fu Xinbo and Qiao Renliang.
Why didn't he sign the contract?
Some people were popular, did not sign, and did not figure out why at that time, until he signed Hu Haiquan's EQ records, which turned out to be to repay the grace of Zhiyu.
In this way, 20-year-old Li Yifeng, under the packaging of Hu Haiquan, launched his debut album "Four Leaf Clover", which is adapted from Hu Haiquan's "Leaves".
He has a good look and talent, which instantly makes many fans fall, and he is also known as the "national school grass".
Although Li Yifeng quickly became popular, it seems that he has not yet adapted to the smoothness of the entertainment industry.
When interviewed, from time to time I can say something that makes people laugh...
Three
With "Leaves", 21-year-old Li Yifeng won the "Best Newcomer EP Award" of the "First Mengniu Yogurt Music Award".
When it came to the acceptance speech, everyone thought he would say thank you to whom, who and so on, but he said amazingly.
"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."
He is really a good boy under the illumination of the party, and at first glance, he learned politics very well in middle school. He also earned the title of "Commissar Li" for this.
In another interview, he was even more...
Reporter asked: What do you most want to do but haven't started yet?
Li Yifeng: Being a mother...
Reporter: Have you rarely shown your figure because of a lack of self-confidence?
Li Yifeng: Because I have 4 navel eyes.
Reporter: Why are there rumors that your family has a background?
Li Yifeng: Because three generations of our family have opened photo studios, so there are many backgrounds in the family.
Reporter: What was the most memorable sentence I heard on the filming scene?
Li Yifeng: Put dinner later...
Really, really serious nonsense.
Li Yifeng's singing career is in the ascendant, but he doesn't seem to feel very good, always feel that the singer's road is too narrow, and now the success is piled up by traffic and appearance.
If there is no traffic and appearance one day, he is worthless, so he maintains such sobriety and wants to find an opportunity to break through.
Four
In 2009, at the age of 23, Li Yifeng starred in his first TV series "The Prince of Tennis", in which he played Zuo Bo in this youth inspirational drama adapted from the Japanese anime of the same name.
For a super idol, such a transformation requires efforts to imagine, otherwise you see those traffic stars now, there is no work to get their hands on, every day mixed in the major variety shows, but also every day think that they are a coffee...
This year, Li Yifeng took over the self-made idol drama "Happiness Must Be Strong" on Anhui Satellite TV, and he suffered a lot when filming this scene.
Non-science class, there is no professional training, many times the expression is not in place, there is a slap in the face, fan more than a dozen times before passing, was fanned red and swollen.
When filming this scene, after completing the Xiamen scene, he went to Taiwan with the crew to shoot the scene.
The "little gentleman" who first arrived at treasure island, as soon as he appeared, it made people shine. Compared with the dark-skinned Ming Dao, Li Yifeng's fair skin and exquisite appearance have called the local media to call out the "flower beauty man" of Japan and South Korea to blow to China, and even said that his appearance resembles an ageless idol - "Little Whirlwind" Lin Zhiying.
In February 2011, Li Yifeng starred in the sequel to the urban love drama "Happiness Must Be Strong", "Happiness is the Clearest Day", and played the role of Xiang Yunchao in the film, and won the Best New Actor Award at the 2011 National Drama Festival with this drama. The drama won the ratings championship in Anhui Satellite TV and Taiwan.
There must be a lot of people who want to ask, not a class, and there is not much acting, why do you want to find him to shoot a TV series.
Good looking, with its own traffic, at every turn to fry a gossip, fry a CP, the heat is fried, and the TV series is also on fire.
Until now, when many film and television dramas have just come out, they still use such a model, and there is no shortage of those who are fried and fried to be true.
No, Li Yifeng also fried into the truth...

In 2012, Lee Yi-fung starred in the TV series "Honey Fang of Love", played with South Korean actress Lee Do-hae, and rumors spread.
When this scandal came out, it was not strange to eat melons, the same recipe, the same taste, for the ratings, it did not hurt to hype up, after all, the woman is Korean.
Even if Li Yifeng secretly ran to South Korea, the melon-eating masses thought it was a match for speculation.
But it is precisely such a gossip girlfriend, Li Yifeng has admitted.
Two years later, in the game session of "Happy Base Camp", He Jiong asked Li Yifeng: "When was the last time I cried?" ”
Li Yifeng followed He Jiong's words and explained that he had just ended a relationship, and the other party was Korean.
The melon-eating masses knew that they had not run to South Korea for hype, but for a relationship.
In 2014, 27-year-old Li Yifeng signed a contract with Huanrui Century.
Previously, Huanrui Century had just launched two TV series of blockbuster "Palace" series, which attracted many actors, including Yang Mi, Yuan Shanshan and others.
Therefore, Huanrui Century wanted to make a xianxia drama, using Li Yifeng, Ma Tianyu, and Yang Mi, who had just become popular.
The name of this xianxia drama is "Ancient Sword Qitan", and Li Yifeng plays Baili Tusu.
On July 2, 2014, the premiere of the costume fairy drama "Ancient Sword and Strange Tan" won the first place in the national TV drama ratings of the same period, with the number of network broadcasts exceeding 5 billion, and the average number of hits per episode exceeded 150 million.
Baili Tusu, played by Li Yifeng, has further publicized his appearance, and fans have affectionately called him "Su Su".
Subsequently, Li Yifeng's peak moment immediately came.

During the two years, Li Yifeng first starred in the online literature classic IP "Notes on the Tomb Robber" with Yang Yang, another super popular idol, and then starred in the TV series "Living Color" with Tang Yan, and also starred in the movies "Gardenia Blossom" and "Fluttering Star Movement".
Li Yifeng and Yang Mi cooperated in the movie "Sudden Star Movement", all kinds of passions in the movie, the two spread gossip, the most outrageous thing is "Yang Mi beats the tire for Li Yifeng".
Seeing that the rumors were getting more and more exaggerated, the two had to quickly refute the rumors.
In those years, Li Yifeng was very prolific, but the audience's evaluation of him was not high, and he was also distressed and wanted to make changes.
At that time, most of the directors used Li Yifeng as a tool for traffic, and Li Yifeng wanted to be a real actor.
Subsequently, Li Yifeng played Zhang Xiaobo in the Guan Hu movie "Old Cannon", and played with Feng Xiaogang, Xu Qing, and Zhang Hanyu, several of whom were film emperor-level figures.
Li Yifeng won the Best Supporting Actor Award at the 33rd Hundred Flowers Awards for Popular Films with his outstanding performance in "Old Cannon", and at that time, he was competing with Duan Yihong, Zhang Yi and Xia Yu.
Of course, there will be doubts, and Li Yifeng does not care, only speaking with works.
In 2016, on a show scene, Guan Xiaotong's opponent guests needed to guess a question: Who does Guan Xiaotong want to marry? The candidates given were Li Yifeng, Wang Sicong and Jin Xiuxian. In this regard, Guan Xiaotong's own answer is that he likes Li Yifeng, and he only wants to marry Li Yifeng, and the degree of madness is not lost to the bastard meal at all.
Previously, at her birthday party, the host said that when Li Yi summit came, her reaction was simply to become a fan in a second, immediately star eyes, completely unable to suppress the excitement in her heart, shy and excited look cute to burst. She also revealed that she had expressed her "admiration" for Li Yifeng on many occasions, and even sometimes felt crazy enough to make herself a little embarrassed.
When Li Yifeng responded to Guan Xiaotong's confession, the gentleman was very gentle, decent and clever, and even if he refused, he would not feel embarrassed at all.
At a press conference, Li Yifeng was asked about Guan Xiaotong's confession of himself, and he responded: "I like many types of girls, (Guan Xiaotong) as a junior, I hope she will live a good life and shoot a good scene." ”
Such an answer is indeed "Political Commissar Li."
If Li Yifeng agreed, there would be no Lu Han.
This year, the spy war drama "Sparrow" starring Li Yifeng was broadcast, and the finale rating was 2.486, setting a single-day record for TV dramas in 2016, and the network broadcast exceeded 11 billion, breaking the record of spy war dramas.
When Li Yifeng immersed himself in improving his acting skills, a scandal was blown into the sky.
Seven
In 2017, Li Yifeng and Wu Xinchuan intensified, and he did not have time to respond.
Because of this year, he spent eight months in the crew of "Animal World", and after the release of the film, it received numerous praise.
The audience no longer said Li Yifeng's "facial paralysis acting skills", more is the fortitude and fierceness in the eyes.
This movie Douban score is 7.2, a fairly high score.
In the same year, the movie "Psychological Crime" starring Li Yifeng was broadcast and also received a lot of praise.
In 2018, Li Yifeng took over a variety show while starring in "Hidden and Great", just because he liked it.
This variety show is "This is a slam dunk", the guest at that time was Jay Chou, the topic center that triggered a lot of hot discussion among fans at that time was the figure of two people, netizens exclaimed, "Jay Chou was actually thin, Li Yifeng was actually fat."
Many fans joked, "It is better to eat less hot pot after Fengfeng."
Li Yifeng wrote on Weibo, "Time not only wants to take away my traffic, but also wants to take away my weight, fortunately I have quality, see you at the hot pot restaurant." ”
In March 2019, the 32-year-old Li Yifeng and Huanrui Century contract expired, and they gave each other the most sincere blessings.
In April of this year, the brokerage company Bo Zhongxing and posted a photo of Li Yifeng and posted an article saying: "Expo stars, harmony and difference", Li Yifeng forwarded and officially signed a new company on his personal social platform, saying: "Want to be poor, go to a higher level." ”

In 2022, Li Yifeng starred in the costume fantasy TV series "Mirror Twin Cities" broadcast, in which he played the sea emperor Su G.
As the earliest traffic star, Li Yifeng made a difficult transformation and honed his acting skills, and he became a real actor.
The role is the best nourishment for the actor and the best witness to the growth of the actor. From "Baili Tusu" to "Zhang Xiaofan", from "Chen Shen" to "Zheng Kaisi", from "Fang Mu" to "Xu Tian", to "Gu Yaodong", and now to "Xia Humble" and "Su G", every step of Li Yifeng's growth has left a clear mark.
These diverse characters also witnessed the exploration process of the first generation of traffic from a young idol actor to a real professional actor.
Not every idol actor has the courage to step out of the "comfort zone" at the peak of popularity, so Li Yifeng's "adventure" has always attracted much attention, and the market is also observing the transformation path of this idol actor, and in this way to redefine the career possibilities of "idol".
Li Yifeng did not disappoint the public, in his professional drama, he finally found a way to use his acting skills to open the audience. With the support of acting skills, he can not only use the role to speak for himself, but also find the right way to open up for the idol actor group.
