As we all know, the entertainment industry is undoubtedly a stage full of talent and charm, and those actresses who not only have beautiful appearances, but also have excellent intelligence are also endless. However, in this industry, which is habitually defined as "relying on appearance", the two actresses who are also handsome, sweet and lovely, their life trajectories are moving in diametrically opposite directions.
Li Yitong and Bailu, when they first met, their faces were almost indistinguishable. They all have a pair of bright and deep eyes, a delicate little face that is fair and translucent, and a pair of plump and upturned cherry mouths.
These carefully carved facial features, coupled with their petite and delicate figures, make people feel a pure and gentle temperament, like a pair of little swans that have just jumped out of the water.
However, who would have thought that the fates of the "twin sisters" would be so different? Since his debut, Li Yitong has been favored by Yu Zheng, a heavyweight director in the industry, and successfully starred as the heroine in the costume drama "Half Demon Allure" directed by him.
After the broadcast of this TV series, Li Yitong's outstanding appearance and superb acting skills have won the love and praise of many audiences, and many people firmly believe that she will soar into the sky and become another "traffic flower" with the strong support of Director Yu Zheng after Zhao Liying and Yang Ying.
However, the world is unpredictable, and Li Yitong's career development has experienced ups and downs in the next few years. Although she continued to participate in the filming of many of the plays directed by Yu Zheng, she never managed to get enough attention on screen and never became one of the true A-listers.
In contrast, her "twin sister" Bailu showed amazing strength. Although Bailu debuted a year later than Li Yitong, she quickly emerged and led the limelight. The first time she cooperated with Yu Zheng, she played two roles in the costume drama "Phoenix Seeking Phoenix", and her outstanding performance won a round of applause and became famous overnight.
In the following years, her popularity continued to rise with works such as the TV series "Swagger" and "Zhou Shengruo", and she has become a high-profile "traffic flower" on the TV screen.
Looking back on the two beauties who were "born and grew up together" back then, now one has returned to their hometown, playing the role of everyone's ladies; The other suffered a setback in his career when his wings were not yet full.
Such a difference in fate is really impressive.
Time flies, back to the energetic period of 2015, Li Yitong is in her youth, her delicate face, bright eyes, full of vitality. At that time, the well-known director Yu was carefully planning a costume drama called "Half Demon Allure".
For the key role in the play, the heroine, Director Yu Zheng's requirements can be described as harsh. In order to find the most suitable candidate, he personally conducted the casting and interviewed more than 300 new actors, however, he still had difficulty making a decision.
However, when Li Yitong appeared in his sight, director Yu Zheng seemed to see the bright stars, and he decided without hesitation to let this beautiful and moving newcomer play the heroine.
Li Yitong knows that this is a rare opportunity. After the audition began, she threw herself into it and went all out to show the inner world and spiritual outlook of the character, which won warm applause from the audience.
Director Yu Zheng was full of praise for her performance and decided that she was the ideal candidate in her heart.
As a result, Li Yitong successfully became the heroine of the costume drama "Half Demon Allure", and the promotional poster of the show was also released in the same year, attracting the eager attention of many netizens.
It is generally believed that under the careful guidance of Director Yu Zheng, Li Yitong will be like Zhao Liying, Yang Ying and other predecessors, with this drama to become an instant hit and famous.
However, in the next few years, although Li Yitong was still working hard in the crew directed by Yu Zheng, the role she played did not bring her enough exposure in front of the screen, and her acting career fell into a trough, and she never achieved real popularity.
Until 2023, she participated in the TV series "Hurricane", although it was only a small role, but the super popularity of this drama finally won the attention of the national audience and ushered in a glimmer of life in her career.
In stark contrast to Li Yitong's bumpy experience, her "twin sister" Bailu, whose career development momentum is rapid and unstoppable.
Bailu debuted a year later than Li Yitong, but she quickly rose to prominence and became a household name on the screen. In 2017, she cooperated with director Yu Zheng for the first time and starred in the costume drama "Phoenix Seeking Phoenix".
In this highly influential drama, Bai Lu challenged himself brilliantly, playing two completely different roles by himself, and his skillful acting skills won the unanimous applause of the crew members! In private, they all praised this excellent actor who was "hard-working, humble and polite".
Because of this, a wonderful drama work, with Bailu's superb acting skills, made her instantly popular, won the highest honor of "Potential Artist of the Year", and opened a new chapter in her life.
In the years that followed, Bailu swept many opponents with its extraordinary strength and was born! In 2019, Bai Lu and young actor Xu Kai co-starred in a high-profile Xianxia-themed TV series "Swagger", whose sweet image and deep performance skills have made her popularity and popularity soar.
At the end of the year, she won the "Popular Female Artist of the Year" award with her unique charm and honor, becoming an indisputable rising star in the TV industry.
2021 is undoubtedly the most dazzling year in Bailu's acting career. She starred in the modern urban drama "Zhou Shengru" and the costume drama "One Life" in Chinese mainland and Southeast Asia.
The popularity of these two dramas directly pushed Bailu to the highest point of popularity, making her successfully rank among the ranks of "film and television celebrities" and "traffic flowers".
When his career was booming, Bailu did not ignore his performance in the field of variety shows. She actively participated in the recording of the popular variety show "Let's Run", which further enhanced her popularity among a wide audience, especially young people.
Just this year, Bailu still maintains the development momentum of "riding the dust". A series of popular dramas such as "Embers of the Long Night", "Camp with Love" and "Ning An Like a Dream" have been broadcast one after another, further consolidating her status as an "evergreen" on the screen.
In addition, she often wears gorgeous dresses to attend various variety shows and award ceremonies, becoming the center of attention.
Seeing Bailu, who is the same age and has a similar face to Li Yitong, can dominate the highly competitive entertainment industry, it is really amazing: fate is too favored by this pair of "twin sisters".
Although the trajectories of Li Yitong and Bailu are very different, in the entertainment industry, this phenomenon of "the same door and different paths" is not an exception. Let's take a look at another pair of beauties with similar appearances - Li Qin and Sun Yi, their paths to fame are also very different.
Li Qin, an excellent actress who has received rigorous training in the basic skills of opera since she was a child, has long mastered the skills of stage performance. As early as the age of 13, she began to get involved in the field of various drama performances and began her own path.
In 2008, Li Qin, who was only 18 years old, was favored by the famous director Li Shaohong and was invited to participate in the classic costume masterpiece "Dream of Red Mansions", thus becoming famous and emerging in one fell swoop.
Although at the initial stage, her parents were firmly opposed to her devoting herself to the actor industry, but under the patient persuasion of director Li Shaohong, they were gradually moved by Li Qin's enthusiasm and firm dedication to her dreams, and finally chose to let go and let their daughter pursue her dreams bravely.
As expected, Li Qin's outstanding performance in the play won warm praise from the audience, and the image of the teenager Xue Baochai played by her was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people and successfully won the "Best Newcomer of the Year Award".
Since then, she has officially entered the entertainment industry and become a high-profile new star, with wonderful performances in many works, and has been shortlisted for important awards such as the Hundred Flowers Award and the Magnolia Award many times.
However, in stark contrast, Sun Yi's acting career has not been smooth sailing. She became popular overnight in 2016 with her superb acting skills in the costume drama "The Legend of Miyue", and quickly became a popular little flower.
originally thought that her career would flourish like mushrooms after a rain, however, at this moment, the thorns of love suddenly blocked her way forward.
In 2016, Sun Yi and actor Dong Zijian made their relationship public, and the two showed their affection in a high-profile manner. However, life after marriage soon brought troubles to Sun Yi's career development. In order to take care of her family, she had to make sacrifices at work and missed out on many valuable opportunities.
It wasn't until 2022 that the relationship between the two broke down, and Sun Yi was able to rededicate herself to her career.
In this entertainment industry full of beautiful faces, it is not uncommon for stars with similar appearances, such as Li Yitong, Bai Lu, Li Qin, and Sun Yi, four actresses. In addition, there is also a pair of "twin sisters" who are difficult to distinguish between real and fake - Liu Yifei and Wang Churan.
Liu Yifei, a well-known actress known as "Sister Fairy", has nearly 20 years of acting experience since her debut. In 1998, when she was still a young girl, she stood out among many young actors with her beautiful and refined appearance, and successfully won the opportunity to star in "Huanzhu Gege".
That one-shot work made her famous overnight and became a household name "Little Swallow"! Since then, Liu Yifei's acting career has been shining brightly. She has starred in many popular classics such as "The Condor Heroes", "The Robbery of the Green Snake", "Running Wildly", "Three Lives, Three Worlds and Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms", and many other popular classics, with her impeccable acting skills and sweet and gentle temperament, she has won the love of the audience and is known as "the beauty of the world".
However, compared with Liu Yifei, an "unreachable" superstar, Wang Churan is slightly inferior. Although the similarity of the facial features of the two is as high as more than 80%, making netizens call Wang Churan "Little Liu Yifei", but if she wants to truly reach the level of "fairy" like Liu Yifei, she still needs to achieve greater breakthroughs in her career and launch more excellent works.
In recent years, Wang Churan has indeed gradually emerged through some film and television works and advertising endorsements, but he has not yet achieved the kind of "leaps and bounds" achievement. Many viewers' impression of her is still at the stage of "Liu Yifei's little stand-in".
In order to truly live up to the title of "Little Liu Yifei" and get rid of the shackles of this identity, she must show more outstanding talent in the coming days and win the audience's independent recognition and praise for her.
Some netizens commented that in order to become a "real Liu Yifei", it is not enough to have a delicate "Internet celebrity face", but more importantly, it is more important to have profound professionalism, unique personal charm, and firm pursuit of career.
Otherwise, she will forever stagnate in the status of "little stand-in", and she will not be able to really compare with the "fairy sister".
So, can Wang Churan stand out one day and become the next "fairy sister"? Let's look forward to it together. However, the fact that cannot be ignored is that compared with Liu Yifei, the "queen of acting", she still has a long way to go to catch up.
Looking at the entire entertainment industry, Li Yitong, Bailu, Li Qin, Sun Yi, Liu Yifei and Wang Churan are just the tip of the iceberg. Like them, there are many stars who also have outstanding looks but different fates.
Some actors are like Bai Lu and Liu Yifei, just with a captivating face, they are enough to control various roles, gallop in the entertainment industry, and become popular all over the country; However, there are also some actors such as Li Yitong and Wang Churan, although they are beautiful and moving, they have never really started a brilliant chapter in their careers, and they have always stayed at the stage of being famous.
This undoubtedly once again verifies an indisputable fact: in the highly competitive entertainment industry, beauty alone is far from enough to gain a long-term foothold. In order to establish themselves permanently and truly become a first-line superstar, actors need not only excellent appearance, but more importantly, solid professional skills and noble personality.
First and foremost, professional skills are crucial. This requires actors to receive systematic and rigorous basic training from an early age and master solid theoretical knowledge. For example, Li Qin began to learn martial arts and dabbled in drama performances at a young age, laying a solid foundation for her future acting career. On the other hand, Bailu and Wang Churan, although they have beautiful appearances, their cultivation in this area is still insufficient, and they may face many challenges in their future development.
Secondly, charisma is also an indispensable factor. The actors' personal character and attitude towards others will directly affect whether they can continue to win the love of the audience.
The audience is eager to see stars full of positive energy, not those "actors" who behave debaucherily and behave inappropriately.
Finally, the unwavering pursuit of dreams is a common quality of all great actors. For example, Liu Yifei has had the dream of being an actor since she was a child, and she still maintains her unremitting pursuit of her career after decades; And Sun Yi once temporarily put down her career for love, and now it is not easy to pick up her ideals again.
Throughout the entertainment industry, there are countless beauties with outstanding appearances, but there are very few people who can really become the "beautiful women of the world" who have been praised through the ages. Therefore, we expect that in the future, there will be more excellent actors with excellent quality who have gotten rid of the label of "beautiful lover", who will prove themselves with their strength, infect the public with their personality charm, and make this industry a better place.
