"Crazy" ushered in the key plot, the male protagonist An Xin was injured by Meng Yu of the "childhood sweetheart", and "dragged sister" blackened!
From the capable reporter who first appeared as "Sister Tug", to the quasi-step prisoner who almost killed people in order to protect himself, it can be said that the role of Meng Yu is complex and changeable, which tests the actor's acting skills.
Li Yitong, a 32-year-old "90 flower" this year, can be regarded as handing over a relatively satisfactory answer.
But since her debut in 2015, she has released new works every year, and she has also been praised by the "gold medal screenwriter" Yu Zheng, but why does she always seem to be "unlucky" to become popular?
1. Non-professional background
Li Yitong's image of reporter Meng Yu in the proper male protagonist work "Crazy" seems a bit redundant.
It's like Chen Ke in "Icebreaker Action", Huang Xi in "Sweeping Black Storm", or the memorial in "Punishment"...
If the acting skills can't keep up a little, they will be complained: "Extra characters!" ”
But Li Yitong's interpretation of Meng Yu, because of the relatively full character of the character, the contrast before and after is huge, she herself also used layered acting skills to interpret the characters.
Therefore, although she was also "crushed" by excellent actors such as Zhang Yi and Wang Xiao who played against her because of her acting skills, on the whole, her performance was qualified.
However, now 8 years after her debut, Li Yitong, who has acted in more than 20 female lead dramas in a row, is still often questioned "I can't remember my face" or "I can't always be red".
Why is that?
The information says that Li Yitong, born in 1990, is a native of Jinan, Shandong, and began to learn dance at the suggestion of his aunt since he was a child.
Because he was found to be more talented by the teacher, he was admitted to Shenzhen Art School when he was in middle school, and then successfully admitted to Northern Dance to refine folk dance.
In 2010, Li Yitong had graduated from Beiwu and once recorded a blind date show "Love Comes Knocking", and at that time he successfully held hands with a boy named Fu Longfei.
Soon after, Fu Longfei debuted as a JBOY3 group, and is still a singer and has released several albums.
And Li Yitong's name at the time was Li Xue, and he claimed to be 22 years old in the show - this age is 2 years old from the birth in 1990 shown in her later data, with a 2-year age difference.
Therefore, many people suspect that Li Yitong once changed her age to 2 years younger, and she never responded to this.
However, some netizens who claimed to know her said that the name and age of the program that was being recorded at that time were provided by the program team casually, not the real situation, but the truth could not be judged.
At that time, Li Yitong's profession was a dance teacher, and he had also shown his dance moves on the spot, and from the pasty pictures at that time, Li Yitong's original appearance was very capable of fighting, and he was extremely pure and beautiful.
This year, Yu Zheng has already mixed up in the screenwriting industry, and has successively released works such as "Beauty Heart Scheme", "Big Girl" and "Huanxi Mother-in-law and Daughter-in-law".
These works have also successively enabled actresses such as Lin Xinru, Yang Rong, and Yang Mi to reach new heights in their careers.
After graduation, in addition to being a dance teacher, Li Yitong also thought of opening a teahouse that combined with dance, and also looked for a store with his classmates.
At this time, she became interested in acting because she helped her classmates in Hokage shoot a short film for a few minutes.
For a long time, Li Yitong constantly appeared in various crews looking for opportunities, and participated in the role auditions of TV series such as "Si Meiren" and "Xianxian".
It is precisely because of this that she met her "Bo Le" Yuzheng in an audition.
2. The big heroine of "body cold"
In 2016, Li Yitong, who was officially 26 years old, broke into the entertainment industry as an "older" and starred in the Republic of China fantasy drama "Half-Demon Falling City".
The competition in the entertainment industry at this stage is very fierce:
Zhao Liying, who successfully became popular, took out the hit drama "Qingyunzhi" and "Lao Jiumen", Tang Yan performed "Splendid Weiyang" with her boyfriend Luo Jin, and Liu Shishi also brought "The Legend of Female Doctor Ming Concubine"...
But Li Yitong's seemingly niche "Half-Demon Falling City" was loved by a group of audiences, and she also rushed into the team of popular actresses and began to "fight".
It is said that in order to perform this work well, Li Yitong seems to be very desperate:
In winter, I soaked in water for hours without shouting "bitter", and I never said "tired" when I hung Weiya, but I bluntly said that I had danced for many years and could finally use it.
The humble attitude and professionalism made Yu Zheng very satisfied, and therefore gave her a very high evaluation.
After that, Yu Zheng let her play the role of Hu Xianer in the new drama "Dream Back to the Dynasty".
And in this play, there is another newcomer he is passionate about: White Deer.
Bai Lu is a certain treasure model, in the early years in order to pursue his dream of becoming an actor, he went to participate in the audition of Korean trainees, but he accidentally fell off the list.
In desperation, she chose the curve to save the country and become an excellent graphic model, so Bailu began to participate in the filming of many micro-movies and stepped into the entertainment industry.
In 2016, she was appreciated by Yu Zheng, so she entered the crew of "Dream Back to the Dynasty", playing the female number four Deng Chanyu, who played a little more than Li Yitong.
In the same year, actress Li Qin, who looked a little similar to Li Yitong, also played the role of "Drag Concubine" Han Xiangjian in the palace fighting drama "Ruyi", which attracted attention.
Since then, three girls who have been said to "look similar" after becoming famous have entered the entertainment industry in various forms, and in the future, whether it is looks, acting skills or star paths, they will inevitably be compared with each other.
It can be said that Li Yitong's star path is very smooth.
In the second year of her debut, she challenged to play the role of Huang Rong in the martial arts drama "The Legend of the Condor Heroes".
This role has been played by two actresses full of spirit, Weng Meiling and Zhu Yin, so it is more difficult to play.
Once the performance is not good, it is easy to be complained about - Zhang Meng was scolded for plastic surgery after playing Wang Yuyan, and Chen Yanxi was also "hacked" for many years after playing Xiaolongnu.
It's just that what everyone didn't expect was that after Li Yitong played Huang Rong, he actually pounced silently, and even the sound of being spit on was rare.
After a long time, there are still netizens who ask: "Li Yitong's version of Huang Rong is beautiful in the sky, but why is it not popular?" ”
Since then, she has successively filmed many works such as "Borderless Beauty", "Begonia Through Rain Rouge", "Crane Pavilion" and many other works, all of which are heroines.
It is worth mentioning that at that time, Li Yitong's partners were all popular students such as Mo Lun and Luo Jin, but there was still no big splash.
After that, there was a saying that "I can't remember Li Yitong's face", which also seemed to explain the reason why she was never popular on a certain level.
Perhaps in order to reinvent himself, Li Yitong partnered with Chen Jianbin, the "top of the uncle circle" at that time, in 2020, and starred in the fashion drama "Love Me Don't Think Too Much".
In order to attract attention, the two also staged "yearless love" in the play, and even had kiss scenes that looked more contradictory, and there was still no big splash.
The same problem also appears in the white deer, who looks like a pair of sister flowers with her.
Bai Lu also won Yu Zheng's praise after his debut, and successively starred in works such as "Phoenix Prisoner", "Swagger", "Half Honey and Half Injury", which also left an embarrassing label of "unforgettable".
In the face of doubts, Li Yitong once came forward on social platforms to slam angrily: "I am cold" - this move has also been sneered at by the public.
3. "Resource coffee" should be transformed
Although he "can't remember", no one can stop Li Yitong from "dominating the screen".
In 2022 alone, she will have 3 TV series such as "Special Combat Glory" and "Canglan Tips" broadcast, two finale to be broadcast, and the recorded variety shows are even more dazzling.
Therefore, Li Yitong also once carried the negative question of "resource coffee".
Some time ago, when she was recording "Infinite Beyond Class", she responded to the rumor that she "brought capital into the group": "This is a statement that I think is more outrageous since my debut", and the side responded to the rumor that "resource coffee" is completely false.
The last time Li Yitong "went out of the circle" may be in 2020 and Jin Chen starred in the TV series "Amazing Girl" as a double heroine.
She no longer plays the "little fairy" in the fairy drama, but incarnates as the optimistic and kind female editor Lu Ke.
Because the route taken by the play is to "girls help girls" as the incision, it is in the hot topic of the moment, so it also allows Li Yitong to usher in his own popularity.
At the same stage, Bai Lu opened the dilemma in a variety show because of his bold character with "laughter" without idol baggage.
Li Qin found a "beautiful and strong" route suitable for himself because he starred in "The Legend of Chu Qiao" and "His Royal Highness Wolf", and he has more recognition.
After tasting the "sweetness", Li Yitong also began to transform.
Therefore, there is an opportunity to play with the acting school Zhang Yi in "Crazy".
Meng Yu, played by Li Yitong in "Crazy", is the only heroine like the stars holding the moon, but was robbed of the limelight by the female number two Gao Ye.
Although Chen Shuting, who plays Yan in Gao Ye, seems to have more "fried" character characteristics, in fact, the role of Meng Yu is also very difficult to play.
From the initial "proud daughter of heaven" to the unavoidable blackening, it is the transition from a young girl who is full of ignorance of love to a young woman who has no choice but to betray herself in order to save her family or even the family.
Li Yitong's acting skills can only be said to be fruitless, after all, there are many complaints about this role on the Internet, most of them think: "Her crying scene does not need to be brainlessly praised, that is a necessary skill for actors." ”
But in fact, being able to act in a work that is outstanding even for a small supporting role, as it is today, Li Yitong, who has debuted for nearly 8 years, can get a passing score.
It's just that if she wants to truly transform into a powerful person, instead of doing "traffic" forever, she obviously has a long way to go.
At present, Li Yitong also has the national security drama "Agent Mission" cooperated with Han Geng and Wei Daxun, and the historical drama "Heroes" cooperated with Cheng Yi to be broadcast.
The two works are completely different, I don't know if it will show the audience more wonderful acting skills at that time, let's wait and then draw conclusions.
Will "Crazy" become her most classic work, or will there be more infinite possibilities in the future?
Do you think Li Yitong has the possibility of becoming popular?
