Preface
In the glamorous entertainment industry, how many people have come to break through with dreams, and how many people have disappeared in the torrent of competition? Yang Mi and Zhao Liying, one is the "second generation of stars" who grew up in the capital, and the other is an ordinary girl who came out of the countryside of Hebei.
Two very different life trajectories, but they are intertwined under the arrangement of fate.
The Pride of Heaven vs the Dragon King
Yang Mi, born in Beijing on September 12, 1986, grew up in an acting family.
When she was 4 years old, she was immature and had already played Princess Xianyi in "Tang Minghuang".
When she was 5 years old, she was held in the arms of Stephen Chow and became the "pearl in the palm" of Xing Ye in "Wu Zhuangyuan Su Qier".
The proud daughter of the sky has too many innate advantages on the road of acting.
Zhao Liying, who was born on October 16, 1987, spent her childhood in an ordinary rural area in Hebei.
When "Wu Zhuangyuan Su Qier" was released, she may still be playing carefree on the ridge, and she doesn't know what an "actor" is.
In 2006, for 20-year-old Yang Mi and 19-year-old Zhao Liying, it was the first intersection of their lives.
This year, Yang Mi was admitted to the undergraduate class of the Performance Department of Beijing Film Academy, and starred as Guo Xiang in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", with beauty and aura coexisting, which established her position as a flower in the film and television industry.
And Zhao Liying, who just graduated from Langfang Art School, came to Beijing with the dream of being an actress and started a difficult career.
As a daughter in "Golden Wedding" and a maid in "Suo Qingqiu", Zhao Liying has become one of the best "dragon set kings" in Hengdian.
Countless 18-hour working days, countless scenes of crying scenes that have been cut, have made her want to give up several times.
And Yang Mi has become an instant hit after "Condor" and has become the "Little Guo Xiang" in the hearts of the audience.
Yang Mi's path to transformation
In 2009, 23-year-old Yang Mi ushered in the first highlight moment of his acting career.
In "The Legend of Sword and Fairy III", she plays two roles, the fiery Xue Jian, and the noble and holy Xi Yao, which feasts the audience's eyes.
Taking advantage of this, Yang Mi, who is popular all over the Taiwan Strait, also sat firmly on the throne of one of the "Four Little Flowers".
After that, Yang Mi and Hawick Lau collaborated on "Du Lala's Promotion", and a romantic "marriage before love" made the audience feel more cordial.
The feelings in the play also continued to reality, and the two got married romantically in Bali in January 2014.
From campus to the workplace, Yang Mi has completed the transformation and gained love.
For Zhao Liying, 2009 is still a year of obscurity.
After years of playing tricks, she realized that she had to make a breakthrough.
That's when the opportunity came.
With her dazzling performances in "New Returning the Pearl" and "Palace Lock Bead Curtain", she has gradually accumulated popularity and attracted the attention of more directors.
Zhao Liying's counterattack
In 2014, 27-year-old Zhao Liying ushered in the first peak of her career - "The Legend of Lu Zhen".
In the play, she plays the role of Lu Zhen, a generation of virtuous queens, dignified and virtuous without losing her sassy and heroic appearance, which makes the audience's eyes shine.
Since then, costume dramas such as "Flower Thousand Bone" and "Qingyunzhi" have followed one after another, and Zhao Liying has gained more and more fans with her smart and aura acting skills.
She has also transformed from a dragon set to a gorgeous old puppet queen.
And Yang Mi is busy starting a business this year.
In 2014, she established Jiaxing Media and invested in the filming of the movie "Little Times".
For a time, there was a bumper harvest in career and love, which was enviable.
It's a pity that the good times didn't last long, and the failure of the business left Yang Mi with huge debts.
And the loving couple also announced their divorce in December 2017, which is embarrassing.
Head-to-head and misalignment
In 2017, the two ancient puppet drama queen dramas of "Three Lives, Three Worlds, Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms" and "The Legend of Chu Qiao" were launched at the same time, which also made Yang Mi and Zhao Liying's fans go head-to-head.
On the one hand, there is a reluctant love affair in the third world, and on the other hand, there is a passionate and inspirational legend of women, and the two heroines have gained a large number of fans with their appearance and acting skills.
As a result, the topic of "who is the queen of ancient puppet dramas" has blossomed everywhere on the Internet, and the two fans have their own words, and they are inextricably linked.
Even the two parties involved were involved in this protracted war of words.
And Yang Mi and Zhao Liying also began to compete in dislocation.
Zhao Liying faded out of costume dramas and tried the genres of urban dramas and martial arts dramas, such as "Fragrant Honey Sinks Like Frost", "Do You Know If You Should Be Green, Fat, Red and Thin" and other dramas have ushered in another peak of her career.
And Yang Mi, although he has a brilliant performance in modern dramas such as "Dear Beloved" and "Eye of the Storm", his ratings are always inferior to "Three Lives and Three Worlds".
So, she chose to return to the ancient puppet drama again and collaborated with Ruan Jingtian in "Fuyao", hoping to create more brilliance.
The dilemma of transformation
Entering the 2020s, Zhao Liying and Yang Mi coincidentally encountered the difficulties of transformation.
Yang Mi, who has become a mother, began to frequently try urban emotional dramas, hoping to get rid of the label of "ancient puppet drama ceiling".
However, dramas such as "Eye of the Storm" and "Thank You Doctor" have a mediocre reputation, and Yang Mi's popularity has also begun to decline.
On the one hand, he had to take his daughter, and on the other hand, he had to face the embarrassment of unfavorable transformation, and Yang Mi was anxious.
And Zhao Liying's performance in "You Fei" has been controversial.
In contrast, urban dramas such as "Happiness to Ten Thousand Homes" and "Unexpected Love" received mediocre responses, which also made the audience question whether she could successfully transform.
Later, Zhao Liying returned to the ancient puppet drama again and collaborated with Xiao Zhan in "Zhu Xian".
Although the topic is full, some viewers complained that Zhao Liying seemed to have returned to the period of "Flower Thousand Bone", which made people sigh.
epilogue
Once upon a time, Yang Mi and Zhao Liying were the white moonlight in the hearts of countless audiences, and they were the two dazzling stars on the screen.
From the campus to the workplace, from young and ignorant to peerless, they have experienced too many ups and downs along the way.
Now, they are all facing the throes of career transformation, and they are all looking for new breakthroughs.
The entertainment industry is like a play, and life is like a dream.
Yang Mi and Zhao Liying are not only the "goddesses" in the hearts of countless girls, but also the epitome of the youth of a generation.
No matter how much competition and difficulties lie ahead, we all believe that as long as the original intention does not change, the brilliance will still be bright, and the future can be expected!
Many years later, when we look back at the past, we will still think of the sassy and heroic "Lu Zhen" and the "Bai Qian" who dares to love and hate.
As Zhao Liying said: "Even if you are covered with bruises, you must be strong."
As Yang Mi said: "The limit you think is just the starting point of others."
Let us bless them together, bless all those who have worked hard, and wish all the good things to come as scheduled, and all the regrets to be relieved.
Life is brilliant because of dreams, and life is wonderful because of hard work.
