"Crazy" has become a hot topic in the new year, and in the words of netizens, the starring and supporting roles in this drama have attracted much attention, and even the name Huang Cuicui has become famous. However, why didn't Li Yitong, who played Meng Yu, cause much repercussions? After all, in this drama, Meng Yu is one of the heroines (although there are not many scenes), and in terms of appearance, she has no obvious advantage over Zhang Songwen (as Gao Qiqiang) and Gao Ye (as Chen Shuting). Some viewers even complained that the timeline in the play spanned 20 years, from 2000 to 2021, and the brothers Gao Qiqiang, Tang Xiaohu and Tang Xiaolong have all grown old, and An Xin has also turned gray, only Meng Yu does not seem to have grown old in 20 years. More importantly, as an actor, Meng Yu's makeup and costumes in 2000 seem to have become a popular style later, which reflects the lack of rigor and nuances in shaping the characters by the actors.
Compared with other actors, Li Yitong's acting skills in this drama are relatively bland and do not impress. Her performances in many scenes are not vivid enough to really grab the audience's attention. In addition, in "Crazy", the character of Meng Yu is not distinct enough and does not have the characteristics that people remember at a glance. Her only interesting event is the poisoning of An Xin, but this plot lacks an attractive element. Even ruthless characters like Gao Qiqiang and Lao Mo didn't want to hurt An Xin, but Meng Yu, a childhood sweetheart with An Xin, actually hurt An Xin for Yang Jian, a person with no moral bottom line, which made people feel angry.
Although Li Yitong is not a popular female star, she has always maintained a prolific state of continuous drama, and has not been involved in scandals, and her annual income should be considerable. There are many popular people, and now her fame has not yet caused jealousy, nor has she fallen into the dilemma of having no drama to film, which is already an enviable state. Before the show was broadcast, Li Yitong's popularity was slightly higher than that of his eldest brother and sister-in-law, but later the outstanding performance and likable roles of the two actors made them win the love of the audience, and their fame rose rapidly. And Li Yitong originally has a certain popularity, limited room for improvement, and the character's personality is not clear enough, but the success of this TV series is inseparable from her contribution. I hope that they will continue to get good scripts in the future and look forward to seeing more excellent works.
