It is a little difficult to get a definite and standard answer in Li Yifeng's mouth. He always said something strange in a serious manner, so that people could not distinguish between true and false. Of course, it is not too difficult to think of not being "deceived" by him, as long as you look closely at his flashing eyes and slightly smiling expression, you know that he is joking again.
For example, this time, Li Yifeng's joke is "I'm going to get married next month." He took the initiative to bring up his gossip, so relaxed that he was like an outsider. The reason for the story is that not long ago, someone saw the hot search and came to him to verify, is it really going to get married? Only to find out that it was another misunderstanding of taking the joke seriously.

Since his debut, Li Yifeng has experienced countless times when his remarks have been over-fermented and interpreted, but most of them have laughed it off. He had figured out one thing early on, as long as he didn't implicate others, why should he care. "As long as it doesn't affect and hurt other people, doesn't touch the moral and legal bottom line, and ends up only hurting myself, it doesn't matter." If you joke about someone else, you definitely can't. ”
"Don't care", this answer contains a kind of wisdom of Li Yifeng, he in a "retreat to advance" way, to resolve the troubles that many artists will face, just like the misunderstood "35-year-old marriage" declaration, has long been in this "do not care" in the self-defeating. He feels that it doesn't matter what other people think and evaluate, "what you do is more important."

Li Yifeng's most recent moment of anxiety was that he was worried that he would not be able to return to the role so quickly.
After finishing his work on "ELLEMEN", he is about to return from the bustling metropolis to the crew of the movie "Playground" to continue filming. Because of the needs of the plot, the scenes of the film are mostly in a county town, and many scenes take place in more remote mountain villages. It was a state of work isolated from the city, and Li Yifeng was immersed in the role, completely playing another life.
The state of the performance that was originally devoted was shattered by the sudden insertion of a few days of life in the big city. When Li Yifeng found himself enjoying and adapting to the fun life in the city, he felt "a kind of danger" - the danger that he might need to readjust and find the role again, which would make him feel anxious. It was like a signal that he had to hurry back to the group.
In July 2021, he came to Xishuangbanna, Yunnan Province, and that "dangerous" signal appeared again. Previously, the crew had been shooting in Haikou for two months, but there was a period of time between the transitions, and when he first arrived in Yunnan, he felt that he had "already withdrawn a bit from the role in the play" and needed to adapt for a few days to re-enter the world of the play.

In this drama, he plays two roles: one is Luo Xiang, an anti-drug policeman who once faked his death, and the other is Chen Mo, an undercover agent who broke into the inside of the drug cartel. In his own view, the bigger challenge of this play is that there are "many reversals" in the plot to promote it.
In terms of performance, the most difficult part is to figure out what the identity of this character is in the current situation. Not only should the director and the actors themselves have clear ideas, but also the audience needs to be able to understand the relationship between the characters and the clues in the play through performance. After joining the group, the most he exchanged with the director was how to make the logic clearer.
"Challenging a new role is sometimes a psychological breakthrough," Li Yifeng said, breaking the comfort zone is not difficult, it depends on whether there is a determination to break. "If you want to break, you will find a way to do a lot of things to break." When you don't want to, there are more things you don't want to step out of. First you have to think. ”
Whether or not this step should be taken, Li Yifeng has his own measurements. "When I think the outside circle is good, I want to step out. When I felt that this wasn't necessarily right for me, I didn't want to. "Of course, this choice carries a certain risk, no one knows the result before doing it, but to challenge always become a driving force, otherwise you can only stand still."

In 2018, Li Yifeng, who finished filming the movie "Animal World", once joked in an interview that he was "two-night popular", "one night popular is 2007, and two-night popularity is 2014".
This is the growth path that almost everyone familiar with Li Yifeng can say. In 2007, "Come on! "Good Boy" made him a rising star in the entertainment industry; in 2014, "Ancient Sword Strange Tan" made him more concerned. So if you take seven years as a unit, starting from 2021, it is the next beginning of Li Yifeng.
"Did you say there was any growth? Or there is. But what kind of growth, Li Yifeng feels that it is not a feeling that can be described in specific language, but more like a subtle influence and change.
In the next two years, Li Yifeng was very busy, filming the spy drama "Sparrow", the Xian xia drama "Qingyunzhi" and the suspense action movie "Psychological Crime". The outside world interpreted that he was seeking transformation, but his acting skills were questioned. But he was not in a hurry, digesting those negative voices alone, he did not want to emphasize the so-called "transformation" and abandon the "idol baggage", just buried his head and continued.

Until the release of "Animal World" in 2018, a completely different Li Yifeng appeared. He plays the male protagonist Zheng Kaiji, boarding the "Destiny" cruise ship, through a mysterious survival game, changing his life without achieving anything. He didn't want to talk too much about how hard it was to shoot the film, but for the sake of the effect, he would spend two hours putting on clown makeup, standing in the mire for a day, or hanging Weia when he reached his physiological limit and still insisted. But this time, people finally stopped talking about his handsome face and found out that he could act.
2020 is a harvest year. The TV series "Hidden and Great" was broadcast, and he portrayed Gu Yaodong, who was not afraid of setbacks and adhered to justice, with a textured performance. This character has Li Yifeng's own brand, but also has its own unique temperament. He saw a kind of "stupidity" from Gu Yaodong, and also saw a belief that "don't forget your original heart, you have to always", which made him think of his own experience.
Therefore, Li Yifeng, who is easy to withdraw from the role, also stayed on Gu Yaodong for a longer time. Since then, he has "thought more" when acting, "combing through the relationship between people behind the character and thinking about the practical significance of the character".
The actor's "common disease" is also more obvious in Li Yifeng, who pays more attention to observing life and observing people and things around him. "It will be quick to know what is special about the person you are in contact with, and if he has a lot of habits, he will prefer to see it," he said. ”

However, this does not mean that the meaning of youth is denied. In the long seven years from 2007 to 2014, he always convinced himself to stick to the position of a newcomer actor; in the days that followed, he pushed himself to the limit and reached a higher level. The hardships and difficulties are difficult, but in retrospect, they are all precious experiences.
Not long ago, Li Yifeng suddenly saw on TV the "Living Colors and Fragrant Fragrances" played seven years ago, and suddenly sighed, "I don't think I can play the feeling of that time now." Although he was still a little young in acting, his life will always have different states at different ages, "you can't go back to that mentality at that time." He refers to the mentality of being young and courageous, "Sometimes it is not necessary that when you are young, you don't have to act well when you are old, this is not necessarily, it still depends on the role, and what you lack and then go back may not be able to make up for it."
He didn't want to explore the bigger propositions about acting, where every actor would feel differently at different times and would have a different understanding of acting. He was very soberly aware: "These things are temporary, no one can prove whether it is good or bad, maybe I took a bad role later, so that the good role I played before was also covered up." Subsequently, Li Yifeng, who had just become serious, was in a relaxed state, "Maybe when the time comes, they will say, you see Li Yifeng still can't act." ”
So, rather than the next goal of the beginning, he is more willing to grasp the present moment. As he was touched by after watching his idol Jordan's documentary The Last Dance: "Jordan's talent is not how high he can dance or how accurate he is, his talent is to be able to focus completely on one thing." 」 For Li Yifeng, he just wants to focus on the front of his eyes and do his job as an actor.

Of course, in addition to the actor, Li Yifeng is also a singer - this direction he has worked hard to move forward, and has not given up because of acting.
On February 14, 2022, he posted a Weibo post about the new song trailer. Fans quickly boiled over, and the appearance of "singer Li Yifeng" was like the most precious "Valentine's Day gift" to be cherished. On March 14, it went online at 10:00 a.m., just like a convention, connecting the ears of fans. The last time Li Yifeng released a new song was "Dance with Me" with the Mosaic Band in December 2020, this time, it finally made people wait for a long time.
The new song is called "Flashback Life", which is the style of a cold folk song. Under the black and gray tones of the MV, the sea breeze and the song are intertwined, mixed with the hope of the other shore and the gentlest dream, Li Yifeng gradually becomes clear inside. Forward and try, this is a breakthrough and attempt in music.
"A song that hasn't been sung before, it's fine." Speaking of this song, Li Yifeng gave a concise evaluation that belonged to his language style. But the story behind the production is far more happy than he describes.
This is Li Yifeng's first collaboration with gold medal producer Zhang Yadong. "This time I had the opportunity to meet Teacher Zhang Yadong, and I began to think that he would not be willing to be like me, and I was not a pure singer. But in reality he was a very humble man. "The cooperation has made Li Yifeng feel professionally enhanced." In the studio, when you can't find the emotion, it may just be a few simple words of his, and you can know that you can still sing like this. Zhang Yadong made him feel that "this song is better than before, and it has its own style characteristics."

In recent years, Li Yifeng's more obvious identity is an actor, but it does not mean that he has to tear off the label of "singer". In fact, he has always been a singer, actor, and even an idol, he will not reject. Because from this level, he needs to continue to have valuable output, continue to have works that attract attention, and always maintain a good state in order to continue.
Therefore, to seize the excitement of the moment, it is not to stay in place, but to focus on the present, cherish the opportunities in front of you, and take the initiative to explore. "Maintain your learning skills and have the courage to try new things" is the right direction. The good things in the world, works, popularity, and even a little progress, will not wait for people in situ, only to keep moving forward.
Li Yifeng was making himself nervous, "I have rested a lot in the past two years, and this year I will find more and take more pictures." As he once said, "Spend a great time in the right way, in pursuit of the wonderful things you have heard for a long time, not just wait." ”
