The chivalrous woman is in charge, and it is a smash hit
In 1997, Yu Feihong, who returned from three years of further study in the United States, did not choose a stable teaching position, but devoted himself to the fiercely competitive film and television industry. At first, she just participated in a little-known TV series.
But Yu Feihong firmly believes that these insignificant roles will become bricks and stones on the steps of her career.
In 1999, under the recommendation of his teacher Cui Xinqin, Yu Feihong got the opportunity to join the ancient dragon drama "Xiao Li Flying Knife" supervised by Lang Xianping and directed by the famous martial arts instructor Yuan Heping.
Although she played the "Amazing Fairy" Yang Yan in the play, she only played a supporting role, but she became a blockbuster with her outstanding performance. The drama was broadcast on both sides of the Taiwan Strait, and Yu Feihong became famous because of it, and was known as a "chivalrous woman".
Yu Feihong, who was originally unknown, became a household name almost overnight. The crew and the audience also favored her, and various invitations came and went. Yu Feihong seized the opportunity and successively played the male and female protagonists in many youth dramas such as "Riding a Horse and Howling the West Wind" and "The Sword of the Third Young Master".
And her excellent acting skills and classical temperament have also made the reputation and ratings of these works rise steadily.
If Yang Yan brought her popularity, then this batch of dramas made her truly develop into a first-line actress in Hong Kong and Taiwan. In 2002, when his career was in full swing, Yu Feihong resolutely chose to leave the fluorescent screen for the time being, and instead directed and acted in his film debut "Love Has an Afterlife".
Yu Feihong is not willing to blindly use the image of "chivalrous girl" to make money, but hopes to challenge himself and march towards movies.
This low-budget literary film allowed her to show her talents, not only directing, writing and acting, but also inviting many famous directors to write scripts. After its release, although the box office was not ideal, Yu Feihong still won the Best Debut Award at the 17th Beijing University Student Film Festival for his solo performance.
This is her first official award since filming, proving her strength and potential to be recognized professionally.
Emotional trough, embattled
In 2009, Yu Feihong, who was on the rise in his career, encountered Waterloo on the emotional road. The scandal between her and CCTV celebrity host Dou Wentao has gone viral in the entertainment industry. The two have been on the hot search many times, and their relationship has caused a lot of speculation from the outside world.
In an interview with reporters, Yu Feihong explained for a reason that it was a propaganda movie that drove her to Dou Wentao. But the dodgy look in her eyes betrayed her true thoughts.
It seems that everything is in plain sight. Yu Feihong is not eager to have a confidant by his side. However, the amorous seed Dou Wentao has long been famous, and he is hidden in his name, and he doesn't know how many beauties there are.
This made Yu Feihong feel devastated, and she felt that she was the junior who was waiting for his occasional love.
At the same time that the relationship was disappointed, Yu Feihong's film debut "Love Has an Afterlife" also suffered Waterloo after its release. This work, which she poured all her heart and soul into, was repeatedly postponed due to investor issues, and finally only chose to launch it on the Halloween Festival.
The result can be imagined, the three-day box office was only 200,000, and the loss was heavy. This is undoubtedly a big gamble failure, which hit Yu Feihong's confidence hard.
For a time, Yu Feihong fell into the painful quagmire of a double blow. She felt that she had failed emotionally and professionally. The former followers and supporters also disappeared at this time.
She couldn't help but sobbed and mumble to herself for a long time in her own little apartment. In the face of the ensuing misfortune, she almost lost her fighting spirit and wanted to leave.
Fortunately, many years of heavy emotions turned into backing at this time and became the driving force for her to turn the tide. After learning that their daughter had been frustrated, the parents immediately made a special trip from Hangzhou to Beijing to offer condolences.
Teacher Cui Xinqin and her classmates also kept calling to encourage her to regroup and start again. The successive warmth made her gradually regain her courage and confidence, believing that as long as she did not give up, there would be infinite possibilities in the future.
In addition to being low-key, take it calmly
Today, 51-year-old Yu Feihong has already gained fame and fortune and faded out of the center of heated discussions in the entertainment industry. She is no longer as desperate as she was back then, wandering around. Now she lives a very peaceful life, accompanying her family in an orderly manner, and walking through ordinary times with a few close old friends.
During these years, Yu Feihong often went out for walks alone. Without a trace, she wears sunglasses and a mask, pacing on a park path or tree-lined path. Looking at the blue sky overhead and listening to the playful laughter of children, she can't help but smile kindly.
This is already the best state of her life.
Occasionally, when a familiar producer contacts her and hopes that she can star in a new play, Yu Feihong will enthusiastically accept it. But her standards are no longer as strict as they once were, and now she only chooses roles that make sense for her to play.
As long as there are not many scenes and the salary is reasonable, she will gladly star. Today's Yu Feihong no longer has the mentality of competing for fame and fortune back then, and her life is now full enough.
When asked about his future plans, Yu Feihong said indifferently that my future life will remain the same. Reunite with your family and spend time with a few old friends. Occasionally, I play roles that suit me.
I'm no longer ambitious, I'm content now. She sincerely thanked everyone in this world who loved her, and it was they who made her who she is today. And she also hopes that her life can be so simple and happy to the end.
