Fong Yilun has shown musical talent since he was a child. At the age of 12, he passed the Grade 9 Piano Exam, an achievement that his family and teachers had high hopes for. He sits at the piano, his slender fingers jumping nimbly on the black and white keys, as if he was born to be a darling of music.
However, Fang Yilun has an unknown dream hidden in his heart - to become an actor. When he watched the stars on TV play various roles, his eyes always sparkled with yearning.
This dream quietly took root in his heart, waiting for the day when it bloomed.
In 2010, when the god of fate smiled at this dreamy teenager, an agent with a brilliant eye discovered Fang Yilun and surprised the agent with the potential he displayed.
When the economist proposed to let him go to Korea as a trainee, Fang Yilun's excitement could not be described in words, this was not only a great opportunity to break free from the shackles of the piano, but also the first step in his pursuit of his acting dream.
With a brief vision of the future and subtle apprehension, young Fang Yilun stepped on the plane to Korea, full of anticipation, for the broader development space shown by the Korea entertainment industry.
On his first day in a foreign country, he began a grueling career as a trainee. The skills he needs to learn include singing, dancing, and acting, each of which requires starting from scratch. Despite the arduous process, Fang Yilun always adhered to his dream and watered the flower of hope in his heart with sweat.
This experience not only shaped Fang Yilun's strong will, but also laid a solid foundation for his future acting career. From a musical teenager who originally focused on the piano to a Korea trainee who is now all-round development, Fang Yilun's growth and change are quietly happening.
After three years of hard training, Fang Yilun finally got the debut opportunity he had been looking forward to. On March 13, 2013, this special day, Fang Yilun, as a member of the M4M group, held a grand SHOWCASE in Korea and successfully entered the idol circle.
Standing on the stage, Fang Yilun's eyes flashed with excitement, which was exactly the reward of his years of hard work.
However, the changes in the entertainment industry are far beyond Fang Yilun's imagination, and the speed is extremely fast. Just 13 days later, they received a notice to return home. So on March 26, the team held its debut ceremony again in China, opening a new stage of "export to domestic sales".
In the face of this sudden change, although Fang Yilun was a little scrambling, he quickly adjusted his mentality and regarded this as a new opportunity.
It is worth mentioning that there is also a special member of the M4M group - Yu Bin, who later played Wen Ning in "Chen Qingling", and he and other members of the group established a deep friendship in the group, and this experience also laid the groundwork for their future development in the entertainment industry.
Unfortunately, despite the strength of the M4M members, the development of the group has not been as expected. In the highly competitive entertainment industry, they are like a flash in the pan, and it is difficult to make too much splash.
Faced with this reality, members had to start thinking about their future path.
Yu Bin once again decided to participate in the talent show of "Idol Trainee", hoping to seize new opportunities. Fang Yilun, on the other hand, with his outstanding appearance and performance experience accumulated in Korea, decisively decided to transform from a member of a boy group to an actor.
Although Fang Yilun's short idol career did not make him an instant hit, it allowed him to accumulate valuable stage experience and network resources. More importantly, it gave him an insight into his strengths and weaknesses, providing direction for his future acting path.
Looking back, Fang Yilun has both regret and gratitude for this experience. It was this seemingly unsuccessful attempt that allowed him to find a path that was truly suitable for him.
After bidding farewell to his idol career, Fang Yilun decided to transform into an actor. It was not a spur-of-the-moment decision, but the result of careful consideration. Looking back on his childhood yearning for an actor, he realized that this might be his true dream.
Fang Yilun quickly got many audition opportunities with the performance foundation and outstanding appearance accumulated during the Korea trainee period. But as a newcomer to the entertainment industry, he also faces great challenges.
Every role requires him to give his all, whether it is lines, expressions, movements, or emotional expressions, he has to study meticulously.
Fang Yilun's diligence and talent made him quickly pay off, and he continued to receive invitations for various supporting roles. Although there are not many scenes in each role, he will devote himself to it.
In the process, his acting skills have become more and more refined, from the initial jerky to gradually find his own acting style.
However, Fong Yilun's acting career was not all smooth sailing. Although he has participated in many works, there are not many roles that are really remembered by the audience. Viewers often feel that his face is familiar, but they don't know his name, which makes him feel stressed.
However, he didn't give up, but worked harder to figure out each role, looking forward to the day when he could really move the audience.
In the process of this transformation, Fang Yilun gradually realized that becoming an excellent actor not only requires external conditions, but also internal accumulation and precipitation are equally important. As a result, he began to read a lot of scripts and enjoy various types of film and television productions, in order to improve his cultural literacy and acting skills.
During this time, although Fang Yilun has not really become popular, his efforts and progress are clearly visible. Regardless of the size of the role, each one has become an important accumulation in his acting career.
He firmly believes that as long as he perseveres, he will eventually have his own highlight moment.
Fang Yilun's acting career ushered in a major turning point. He played a challenging role in the critically anticipated drama "Jade Bone Haruka": the image of both a merman warrior and a butler.
This role requires him not only to show a mature and steady side, but also to show the bravery and courage of a warrior.
The emotional entanglement between the role of Fang Yilun in the play and the heroine Zhu Yan is complicated. This requires him to present a rich emotional layer in his performance, from the initial protection like a brother, to the subtle feelings that arise with the change of identity in the later stage, every detail tests his acting skills.
The bigger challenge is that the male protagonist of "Jade Bone Yao" is played by Xiao Zhan, who is on fire. In the rivalry with Xiao Zhan, Fang Yilun was not afraid at all, he gave full play to his advantages, whether it was his appearance or acting skills, he did not lose to Xiao Zhan.
These orange scenes against each other have become a major attraction of the show, and also let the audience remember this new face who can compete with the top actors.
As the plot progresses, the role played by Fang Yilun is promoted from the butler of the Zhu Yan family to the merman warrior, such a huge change is not only in the gorgeous transformation of the style, but also a severe test of his superb acting skills.
Relying on delicate and nuanced performances, Fang Yilun brilliantly interprets the transformation of the character's inner emotions, from steady and introverted to heroic and resolute, so that every aspect of the character is vividly portrayed by him.
The broadcast of "Jade Bone Yao" has received a lot of attention from Fang Yilun. The audience was surprised to find that this actor, who can play on the same stage as Xiao Zhan, is still a relatively "newcomer".
Fang Yilun's performance was not only not covered by Xiao Zhan's aura, but was even more brilliant because of the stark contrast.
This performance has won Fang Yilun high praise both inside and outside the entertainment industry. He proved that he not only has a handsome appearance, but also the acting prowess to match it. "Jade Bone Yao" became an important milestone in Fang Yilun's acting career and laid a solid foundation for his future development.
"Jade Bone Yao" has attracted widespread attention, which has given Fang Yilun new opportunities for his acting career. He has participated in two high-profile dramas - "Long Song Xing" and "Yi Nian Guan Mountain", in both works, he has had wonderful cooperation with Liu Yuning.
In a short period of time, Fang Yilun and Liu Yuning starred together in the TV series "Yi Nian Guan Mountain". Surprisingly, they once again played the role of escorting the princess, as if it were a clever arrangement of fate.
This cooperation is more in-depth, and the tacit understanding between the two is on a higher level, Fang Yilun plays Yu Shisan, a suave male peacock, who often recommends pillows and opens the screen to court, this role is very different from his image in "Long Song Xing", showing his multi-faceted nature as an actor.
In "Yi Nian Guan Mountain", Fang Yilun not only has to show his thirteen dashing, but also shows his heroic image as a martial arts master. Especially the scene where he is holding a bow and crossbow and falling from the sky makes the audience's eyes shine and marvel at his handsomeness and chic.
Fang Yilun and Liu Yuning's re-collaboration has made them more familiar with each other's performance styles, the interaction in the play is natural and smooth, and the light-hearted and humorous daily dialogue and exciting martial arts scenes are full of sparks, this tacit cooperation not only improves the overall quality of the series, but also makes the performance of the two more excellent.
Through two collaborations with Liu Yuning, Fang Yilun has not only accumulated valuable experience, but also established a distinct image in the hearts of the audience. From "Long Song Xing" to "Yi Nian Guan Mountain", Fang Yilun's acting skills have become more and more proficient, and the character creation has become more and more three-dimensional, showing his growth and progress as an actor.
In the popular drama "Yi Nian Guan Mountain", Yu Shisan, played by Fang Yilun, became the subject of controversy. He successfully played this role, which not only marked another peak in Fong Yat-lun's acting career, but also showed his all-round improvement as an actor.
The role of Yu Thirteen has many characteristics: a suave male peacock atmosphere, and at the same time, he has unique skills, and he is a martial arts master. Fong Yat Lun successfully interprets the diversity of this role, switching between grace and courage with ease.
His scenes of recommending a pillow and opening the screen to courtship are both humorous and elegant, which makes people laugh; And the image of the hero who fell from the sky with a bow and crossbow amazed the audience.
Especially when Fang Yilun interacted with other characters in the play, he fully demonstrated his superb acting skills. Whether it is the beating of the female protagonist or the rebuttal of the male protagonist, he can show it appropriately with the reaction of Thirteen, which not only loses the characteristics of the character, but also can be closely integrated with the overall plot.
The reason for Fang Yilun's successful interpretation of this role lies in his in-depth understanding and accurate grasp of the character's inner world. He succeeded in bringing out the complexity of Thirteen to the fullest, making the characters more three-dimensional and vivid, which deeply captivated the hearts of the audience.
