Recently, the comic drama "Flame" has been on the air. The plot is full of ups and downs, and the high-burning fighting scenes are full of special effects, which makes the audience enthusiastic to watch.
Who would have thought that the director just asked him to have a second male, but he became the only anime who couldn't do real people.
The comment area was even drowned out with praise: He is really super handsome! Come on Ziyu's fan, I will definitely chase it!
I have to say that when it comes to Yan Yikuan, beauty is a topic that cannot be bypassed.
There are even anime characters who are modeled after him.
In addition to this 360-degree face with no dead ends, Yan Yikuan's acting skills are also very exquisite.
Zhu Qizhen of Ming Yingzong in "Ming Dynasty 1449".
Yan Qing, the prodigal son of "New Water Margin".
The black-bellied and sinister prince Meng Qiyou in "The Imperial Princess".
Yan Yikuan has created countless classic costume images.
In 2019, his performance in the variety show "Immersive" was evaluated by netizens as a "humanoid voice changer".
However, 25 years after his debut, Yan Yikuan is still tepid, and some people often ridicule him as "ten generations of beauty for one lifetime of emotional intelligence".
In 2011, Yan Yikuan was selected by netizens as one of the "Four Beauties of the World". It was originally an entertainment topic, but I didn't expect Yan Yikuan to forward and respond seriously: I took the initiative to quit, I was forced to join, and I was beautiful.
Previously, the other three male stars had never expressed their opinions on this matter, and Yan Yikuan was labeled as having low emotional intelligence.
Even so, Yan Yikuan does not intend to hide his true self, and still goes his own way.
When he sees someone running a red light, he will honk the horn to remind him;
When someone litters at the entrance of the community, he will shout loudly without hesitation: "Isn't there a garbage can?
When recording "My Little Couple", netizens said that he was a little lazy and didn't know what he was busy with. He did not refute this. In fact, at that time, he was busy recording and protecting the heroic deeds of the national emblem that was insulted by the mob with his life.
Yan Yikuan knows that as an actor, appearance is a consumer product, and sooner or later he will be overdrawn if he has no acting skills, so he never changes himself in order to cater to the market and please fans. This is his true personality and his unabashed life.
01
The starting point was too high, and the fall was too bad
Yan Yikuan, whose real name is Yan Kuan, was born in an ordinary working family in Shanghai. His father named him Yan Kuan, which means that he has a broad future and is easy to support.
When he was young, Yan Yikuan was naughty and active, often sleeping at home with other people's children, while he was parkouring. When he entered junior high school, he gradually became calm and sensible, and began to be obsessed with music and painting.
When he was 13 years old, his parents took him shopping, and he fell in love with a stereo at a glance. When I asked the price, it was 7,000 yuan, and my parents looked at each other, but in the end they were not willing to buy it.
Unexpectedly, Yan Yikuan has always been obsessed with that stereo, and at night he began to have a high fever. After discussing with his parents, he gritted his teeth and bought the stereo, and he miraculously lost his fever.
Later, his parents sent Yan Yikuan to study vocal music, preparing for him to apply for the conservatory of music. However, he failed both exams.
Seeing their son sullen, the parents finally came up with an idea: to send him to learn acting. Yan Yikuan has been good-looking since he was a child, and his facial features have become more three-dimensional after he entered junior high school, and he was born an actor embryo.
Finally, at the age of 18, Yan Yikuan was successfully admitted to the play. However, his dream is still stuck in music, so the first month of entering the theater is simply a torment for him.
However, as he deepened his studies, he gradually figured it out: what comes is safe.
To say that Yan Yikuan is really born to eat the bowl of rice of an actor, although he was unintentionally inserted into the willows, his grades in all subjects were excellent, and in his senior year, all 4 subjects of the "Shengtai Table" were full marks.
Not only that, but because of his handsome and handsome appearance, he was often selected by the crew to play tricks.
In his sophomore year, he participated in "Love Letter" and successfully performed what is called Sven scum that people love and hate. With this modeling face, it is out of the circle.
It is said that Yan Yikuan was taken by a rich woman at that time and promised to give him 100 million, but on the condition that he would not show his face again in the future and not act. Years later, in an interview, he responded: "I was surprised by the astronomical amount, but I refused. ”
After his successful debut with "Love Letter", Yan Yikuan continued to make appointments. In his concept, when he is an adult, he has to earn money to support his family, not to mention that he has no family background, and he has to rely on himself to do everything.
Therefore, for Yan Yikuan at that time, filming was to make a living and make money. Therefore, he stayed in the crew all year round, took on the play when he had it, did not choose the script, and worked hard for economic freedom.
However, changes in the film and television market have led to many of the dramas he has acted in, either not being broadcast, or not being popular when they are broadcast. After a few years, Yan Yikuan felt very confused and didn't know where to go. At this time, he met a girl, and from then on his life began to have light, she was his future wife - Du Ruoxi.
02
Lovers "across the way".
In 2009, Yan Yikuan met Du Ruoxi when she was picking up her luggage at Hongqiao Airport and helped her remove the box from the conveyor belt. Du Ruoxi hurriedly thanked: "Thank you, senior brother." ”
It turned out that the two were brothers and sisters in the same school, and Yan Yikuan was still Du Ruoxi's idol. When she was in junior high school, Du Ruoxi watched Yan Yikuan's drama, and she sighed at that time: "This person is so handsome, I want to marry him when I grow up." ”
Fate is so wonderful. Since then, the two have met and left each other phone calls, and as further contact progresses, the more the two chat, the more speculative they become, and soon establish a romantic relationship.
Yan Yikuan is a real person, and as soon as the relationship is confirmed, he successively handed over his password and bank card to Du Ruoxi, which can be said to give her a sense of security.
Yan Yikuan, who has not been in a good family since he was a child, is usually very critical of himself, but when he sees what Du Ruoxi likes, he will immediately buy it back. Later, when he bought a wedding house, he only wrote Du Ruoxi's name.
Once, Du Ruoxi was still a little worried that handsome people were unreliable. However, Yan Yikuan relieved her with practical actions.
In this relationship, Yan Yikuan is very reliable, and Du Ruoxi is also very powerful.
During that time, because of acting in some "bad movies", Yan Yikuan's self-confidence was frustrated, and he even came up with the idea of retiring from filming. At the critical moment, Du Ruoxi provided her boyfriend with full emotional value in time. She did not hesitate to stop her work, helped Yan Kuan sort out the shortcomings in his work step by step, and guided him forward.
Yan Yikuan said: "She is the person who made me find myself again, a mirror for me, pointed out countless problems that I was unwilling to face, and gave me a chance to be reborn." ”
Later, when talking about all this in the show, Yan Yikuan even cried for a while.
With the help of Du Ruoxi, Yan Yikuan readjusted his mentality, carefully selected the script, polished his acting skills, and finally rediscovered his positioning and passion for acting.
In 2011, with the encouragement of Du Ruoxi, Yan Yikuan took the initiative to contact the crew and recommended himself to star in "The Prodigal Son Yanqing" in "New Water Margin".
The symbolic salary and the role of the male N, he still takes it seriously.
After the success of the audition, Yan Yikuan began to lose weight, exercise, and bask in the sun for three hours a day, trying his best to make himself more suitable for the character image.
His parents thought he was crazy and were afraid that he would get a sunburn. But for him, it's a belief in wanting to rediscover himself.
The role of Yan Qing made Yan Yikuan re-understand himself and no longer set limits on his life.
Since then, the interpretation of many dramas such as "The Imperial Princess" and "Romance of the Sui and Tang Dynasties" has made Yan Yikuan's acting skills a qualitative leap.
The career has finally improved, but love has fallen into a quagmire. The unexpected disclosure of the relationship caused the two to suffer countless criticisms, and fans even attacked Du Ruoxi for not being worthy of Yan Yikuan.
Du Ruoxi was so tormented that she thought about breaking up. In order to protect his lover, Yan Yikuan began to "theorize" with netizens often, but was ridiculed for his low emotional intelligence.
Fortunately, neither of them gave up in the end.
After all this, in 2013, Yan Kuan officially changed his name to Yan Yikuan, and he wanted to make himself a little more peaceful.
03
Don't ask for romance, just fireworks
Yan Yikuan is not a romantic person, and he is even a little second, so much so that he proposed 3 times before marrying Du Ruoxi.
The first time he proposed, Yan Yikuan was at the door of the bathroom of Du Ruoxi's house, took a ring casually and said, "Marry me." Du Ruoxi couldn't cry or laugh, and said, "I'll think about it again." ”
In the second marriage proposal, Yan Yikuan only said one sentence: "Please accept my 2.1-carat ring, including my soul weighing 21 grams." "As you can imagine, failed again.
After two failures, Yan Yikuan realized that he had to take it seriously. When Du Ruoxi was acting in the drama "21 Carats", Yan Yikuan carefully planned a marriage proposal, allowing all the audience to witness their happiness together.
For Yan Yikuan, practicality is more important than romance. The highest specification of dating a wife is Haidilao, which is spicy most of the time.
Even when he saw his father-in-law, Yan Yikuan did not take the usual path. Because my father-in-law is from the Northeast and likes to take a bath, when we met for the first time, Yan Yikuan gave him pajamas, bath towels and other gifts, which was very down-to-earth.
In Yan Yikuan's view, the important thing for two people to get married is life, not ceremony, or Du Ruoxi hid the entire wedding from him.
After getting married, the two wanted to upgrade to mom and dad as soon as possible. But unfortunately, Du Ruoxi has experienced two miscarriages.
In 2017, Du Ruoxi became pregnant again. In order to concentrate on welcoming the child, she stopped work and waited at home to give birth, and Yan Yikuan also turned down all her work and accompanied the delivery with peace of mind. In June 2018, their daughter Rou was born safely.
After having a daughter, Yan Yikuan is more homesick and more emotional. Watching his daughter being bitten by a mosquito, he would cry in distress.
But in terms of right and wrong, he is still very rational. He hopes that he can be a father who is both strong and soft.
After the little girl makes a naughty mistake, Yan Yikuan will also criticize her. Then when he went to bed at night, he would gently touch her again: "Daddy still loves you very much." ”
Sometimes, he coaxes his daughter to sleep, but he puts himself to sleep first. At this time, the daughter will secretly run over and kiss his face, again and again.
Whenever this happens, Yan Yikuan, who is groggy and dazed, will say to his daughter dotingly: "I was woken up by you." ”
The love that his daughter gave back to him gave Yan Yikuan a deeper level of understanding of life, and he was even more grateful to his wife for giving birth to such a lovely daughter.

Love is a choice, and it should be with you for a lifetime
Due to the particularity of the profession of actor, in order to give Zudu Ruoxi a sense of security, after marriage, Yan Yikuan tried his best to play with his wife, and created opportunities when he had no chance.
This also led to dissatisfaction among fans, who thought that he was obsessed with his family and gave up his career. However, Yan Yikuan insisted on doing so.
Fans asked him to do more business and interact more, but he didn't care about it, he just followed his heart and focused on his profession, instead of engaging in traffic and those vain things.
In this era when traffic is king, it is conceivable that this kind of behavior will attract blackmail. Over time, his fans became fewer and fewer.
However, Yan Yikuan didn't care about these things. He knows that as an actor, he must speak with his works and acting skills.
Hard work pays off. He finally appeared on the hot search in the hit variety show "I Am an Actress" with his "self-destructive acting skills".
Just when everyone was still immersed in his impression of a "beautiful man in ancient costume", Yan Yikuan drew a thickened eight-character eyebrows, a costume with a big belly, a dialect opened a comedy character, and even split a word if he didn't agree with him, which often caused the audience to laugh.
He said: "Acting, we have always been serious, whether it is handsome or ugly, it is all for the role!" and his task today is to pretend to be ugly and amuse everyone. He did it.
As the head teacher of the talent class, he was heartbroken in order to teach the students well.
When students are discouraged, he will also warm his heart and comfort him with his personal experience: "I have filmed more than 90 dramas, and I still haven't really encountered a popular role, but I still persevere." ”
Compared with traffic, he enjoys everyone's praise for his acting skills.
In the past few years, Yan Yikuan has starred in many works such as "Deep Sea Crisis" and "Flame".
Especially in the recently aired "Flame", the 44-year-old he played the Great Swordsman, who is still handsome, and his acting skills are even more perfect.
Yan Yikuan is 45 years old this year, and there is no third place except for his workplace and home.
When he is on vacation, he drops off his children in the morning and picks them up in the evening, exercising, and tidying up his home. He admits that he enjoys returning to the quiet life of his family.
In the variety show "My Little Couple", Yan Yikuan presented his nagging and laziness in front of the camera without reservation, which made many netizens feel unhappy for Du Ruoxi.
But for him, this is his real family life, and it is also the daily mode of getting along with his wife, and there is no need to deliberately disguise it for the sake of the show.
After ten years of acquaintance, Yan Yikuan and his wife have already honed into a life model that they are satisfied with, and there is more of a warm guardian in the ordinary between them.
A spicy meal, a bouquet of second-hand flowers, and the old-fashioned song "The Moon Represents My Heart" can just poke Du Ruoxi, which is also the unique romance between them.
For many celebrities, their emotional lives should be as low-key as possible, but Yan Yikuan shows his affection every day on Weibo.
In this regard, Yan Yikuan said frankly: "Because I haven't thought about retreating. Now that I've stepped through this door, my goal is to make it to the end. Whether she is good or not, whether I am good or not, there is a righteous anger between us, and no one can dislike anyone. ”
Yes, a happy marriage is not only romantic and passionate, firewood, rice, oil and salt, but also a lifelong righteousness.
In the program "Apocalypse of Life", when asked about the view that "you can't be reasonable in the family", Yan Yikuan replied: "In marriage and family, it is more about understanding, and sometimes you need to be reasonable. But once you insist too much on the so-called reason, one party will be uncomfortable, and then it is not home. ”
He also said that marriage needs to be honest, because if you choose to remain silent, the problem will become more serious.
Home is a place of love and tolerance for each other, and the other half is a mirror to supervise one's own growth.
As Yan Yikuan said, there is no tailor-made other half in this world, and marriage needs two people to manage.
Yes, every relationship needs to be managed, I'll wait for you, you wait for me, don't get lost.
