Today, after 12 years of debut, he seems to have more confidence and become a quality assurance. </h1>

The movie "Lyceum Theatre" was released, and Zhao Youting kissed Gong Li several times on the big screen, which made countless fans have the feeling of "immersive kissing".
From his debut to the present, Zhao Youting's acting report card is clean and dusty.
His acting career is more like an ideal sample of "playing a good hand".
Stills from "Lyceum Theatre"
Zhao Youting's debut is not too early.
In 2009, 25-year-old Zhao Youting and Zhou Yumin starred in their first drama "Leper Hero", and won the Taiwan Television Golden Bell Award for Best Actor in one fell swoop.
It's a complete thunderclap on the ground.

At that time, media surveys believed that 80 percent of the support of audiences on both sides of the strait was directed at Zhou Yumin, but in the end, the "Emperor of Vision" fell into the hands of Zhao Youting, a fledgling newcomer.
The recognition that came too early has become a "hot potato" for Zhao Youting, who does not yet understand the rules of the entertainment industry.
At that time, many people interpreted it as a "black curtain of awards".
Therefore, the period after winning the award became the most unhappy time for Zhao Youting.
"It was easy to go in but heavy when it came out. It's as if I'm manipulating this, and you're overestimating me. ”

That night, Zhao Youting felt the cruelty of the entertainment industry for the first time. The joy of winning the Golden Bell Award lasted only a moment.
When he stepped down, the congratulations of all the acting colleagues present seemed to be full of three points of ridicule, and they said congratulations, and their eyes drifted away.
Even the boss and director at the time said, "The best actor in my heart is Zhou Yumin." ”
During the filming of "Leper Hero", Zhao Youting and Zhou Yumin once rented an apartment together, eating and living together.
Zhou Yumin also often invited him, a descendant, to dinner, and his feelings were as close as brothers.
But the Golden Bell Award seems to erase everything in the past of the two.
"Am I wrong to win the prize?" During that time, Zhao Youting repeatedly asked himself.
On Zhou Yu Minsheng Day, Zhao Youting tried to send a text message to wish, but when he waited, the other party's reply was a sentence of "Who?" ”
Zhao Youting nestled on the sofa that day and silently repeated the same words several times: Happy Birthday! who? Happy birthday! who?
After the Golden Bell Awards storm, Zhao Youting did not shoot for a year and a half.
When the peak that others have sought throughout their lives has been achieved when they have just made their debut, they can only be more cautious.
This caution later ran through his 12-year acting career.
After a period of silence, "Mengjia" once again made Zhao Youting gain greater attention.
In 2010, this Taiwanese gangster-themed film won Zhao Youting the Best New Actor Award at the 5th Asian Film Awards.
Compared with the actors who often take their roles from personal experience, Zhao Youting himself and the "underworld brothers" portrayed in "Mengjia" can be said to be unrelated.

In 1995, 11-year-old Zhao Youting was sent to Canada to study, and this stay was 13 years.
In Victoria, where he lived, about half of the population was old gentlemen and old ladies in their fifties and sixties, and everyone walked and drove very slowly.
There is a well-known local proverb called, "Only one thing a day", which pays more attention to the experience of doing things themselves.
This greatly affected Zhao Youting's aesthetics of doing things as an adult: you can do less, but the process and results of doing it must be enjoyed.
Acting is the "enjoyable thing" he chose.
Stills from "Di Renjie's God Dragon King"
In 2008, zhao Youting, a recent college graduate, faced a career choice when a phone call from his father called him back to Taiwan.
"He wanted me to audition."
Zhao Youting's father, Zhao Shuhai, was once a household name artist in Taiwan.
The resources and contacts accumulated over the years have become the first opportunities that Zhao Youting can touch in this circle.
At the dinner table of various producers and agents, Zhao Shuhai tried hard to sell his son.
But most of the information feedback from the other party is that Zhao Youting's appearance conditions are OK, "You can play a male number two, but at most you can play a male number two." ”
For Zhao Shuhai, this is an affirmation of his son's qualifications.
But these words in Zhao Youting's heart, it is a completely different judgment: "They think I can't play the male number one." ”
Although he did not have any acting experience before, Zhao Youting had already shown a clear positioning of himself at that time, "I only play male number one. ”
If you don't have it, you don't act. Zhao Youting's soberness from beginning to end, "Others look down on you, I have to look up to myself." ”
When he was a child, Zhao Youting's mother forced him to swear that he would not enter the show business circle when he grew up.
Her mother did not want Zhao Youting to miss too much family life because of the particularity of her profession because of her father.
Then if you want to "break the oath", you must have a worthwhile role.
For a long time, in film and television creation, the position represents not only the problem of how many roles, but also the size of the room for play.
In the industrialized film and television script, the most plump characters in a play often only have male and female protagonists.
This is also the fundamental reason why Zhao Youting is obsessed with "male number one".
Zhao Youting was even ready to return to Canada to work until he met Cai Yuexun, the director of "Hero of the Leper".
Zhao Youting is very popular with all kinds of directors, especially good directors.
When participating in the casting of "Leper Hero", Zhao Youting was told that this play was a "double hanging male protagonist", and the same as him was Zhou Yumin, who had already won the "Meteor Garden" F4 fire.
Zhao Youting was not nervous.
In the eyes that Cai Yuexun saw, there was a clumsy youthful spirit.
Later directors saw the same pair of eyes.
When casting "Search", Chen Kaige only spoke three sentences from the first time he met Zhao Youting to the final role was finalized.
When they first met, Chen Kaige said, "I am bothering you again", he quickly replied, "no no"; the director told him a story, he said "good", he asked the director "why did you call me to act", the director said "I saw the light in your eyes".
Zhao Youting was dumbfounded after listening to it.
And the young Di Renjie, who was appreciated by Xu Ke, was known as "Andy Lau's successor", all because of Zhao Youting's "fresh person" temperament, "others can't think of it".
Zhao Youting's clear and introverted, innocent and arrogant temperament is the reason why many directors were first attracted to Zhao Youting.
But this kind of inexplicable "temperament", before the strength is recognized, is no different from the evaluation of "vase".
When he was controversial because of his role performance, Huang Bo explained him, "Don't complain, what kind of face you look like, what kind of things you do, it's so good." ”
Later, Zhao Youting, no longer deliberately cared about whether the audience evaluated "appearance" or "acting", he began the process of "seeking inward".
When the characters are in place, all doubts will disappear.
The "Three Lives and Three Worlds and Ten Miles peach blossoms", which was ridiculed before the start of the broadcast and exploded after the start of the broadcast, is a clear example.
Zhao Youting, who had never been exposed to costume idol dramas before, became a "national uncle" with this drama.
In "Three Lives and Three Lives", Zhao Youting's so-called plastic surgery-like acting skills are actually the product of a good temperament.
From a young age, the excellent growth environment and the high sense of self-esteem that never lacked in the heart created a noble and introverted Prince of the Heavenly Clan.
Growing up in a family that attached great importance to nurturing, Zhao Youting had always behaved decently and politely.
He is naturally accustomed to decency and courtesy and does not feel uncomfortable or bored by "following the rules".
Politeness is already his habit, and "making others comfortable" is also the way he thinks he makes himself comfortable.
Interview with Yao Chen, he will silently unscrew her unopened mineral water when Yao Chen speaks.
"Let people stay comfortably, drinks will never be empty, and paper towels will be handed over immediately."
This emphasis on "gentlemanly feeling" also affects his aesthetic of the character.
Participating in the movie "QingyaJi", he asked the director Guo Jingming: Why do you have to take off your clothes when casting a spell?
He eventually refused to undress.
Rejection is the product of thinking. Actors who know how to refuse really know how to choose.
In "Lyceum Theatre", 56-year-old Gong Li and 37-year-old Zhao Youting play lovers.
But at first, when the three words "Zhao Youting" were associated with Lou Ye's movie, many people felt strange.
Strictly speaking, before this, Zhao Youting had never starred in a literary film.
And in Lou Ye's past films, more favor should be Qin Hao and Zhang Songwen type of literary and art film actors.
Not to mention, the female number one of this play is the well-known actress Gong Li at home and abroad.
But in fact, when deciding to take over this script, Zhao Youting did not know who to play with.
He hesitated.
Song Jia, an actor from the same company, pushed her.
"Have this opportunity, must go!" Song Jia, who had worked with Lou Ye on "Clouds Made of Rain in the Wind", continued to encourage Zhao Youting after learning the news.
At the end of 2017, Zhao Youting rushed to Shanghai to shoot.
For Zhao Youting, the filming process of "Lyceum Grand Theatre" is a reboot and update of his performance system:
"As an actor, this is a particularly wonderful gift to help me go up the ladder".
"For example, when I used to make crying scenes, I might think about how to cry. But after this experience, it may be better to look at the state of sitting there after crying silently. ”
He described playing against Gong Li, "It's really really cool, you see her aura and self-confidence, free to relax, especially beautiful, especially charming, you feel, wow, want to cherish every scene." ”
After the movie was released, almost every media outlet would ask him, "Why did you choose you as the male lead?" Are you under pressure to play with Gong Li? ”
It's like he's lucky to take something that doesn't belong to him.
Just like in 2009, Zhao Youting was upset and won the Golden Bell Award.
But what is different now is that Zhao Youting today will no longer care or argue.
His performance is the best illustration.
In addition to acting, Zhao Youting said that he "never had any lofty ambitions." ”
As a child, his only dream was to start a healthy and happy family.
And that goal was achieved at the age of 30.
On June 5, 2014, Zhao Youting, 30, and Gao Yuanyuan, 35, were licensed to marry in Beijing.
It's only been two years since they officially announced their relationship.
After zhao Youting and Gao Yuanyuan's love affair was exposed, people found that a month after the original "Search" started filming, they no longer sat on both sides of the director, and the relationship between the two had a subtle change.
There is a scene in the movie where the character "Ye Lanqiu" played by Gao Yuanyuan raced on the high speed, and after stopping, Zhao Youting took a picture of Gao Yuanyuan with his mobile phone.
Anyone who has seen the movie will understand how thrilling Gao Yuanyuan's picture in "Search" is.
She wears a khaki suit and a vintage beret. When the wind blew, Gao Yuanyuan took off his hat and let his hair dance in the air.
Pure and feminine.
Zhao Youting held the mobile phone, stood and shot for a while, sat and even squatted for a while, and his eyes were full of high circles.
Chen Kaige on the side smiled and looked at the pair of Biren and sighed, "Fall in love, this is not in love, this absolutely." ”
At that time, Gao Yuanyuan had already become popular on both sides of the taiwan strait and three places with "The Book of the Dragon Slayer in the Heavens", becoming the most popular temperament goddess in the country.
And Zhao Youting is just a newcomer actor who has just won the award, coupled with the five-year-old age difference, too many people say, "Zhao Youting is not worthy of Gao Yuanyuan."
But let the gossip go, and they love is love.
Zhao Youting wrote for Gao Yuanyuan, "I love you, and I am not afraid of others snooping, nor am I afraid of others knowing." ”
Two years later, when the two were married and held a wedding banquet in Taipei, Zhao Youting's promise to Gao Yuanyuan was "honesty, respect, love and care" and "put first in life".
And Gao Yuanyuan's confession made everyone move even more:
"I am often told by friends around me that the person you want does not exist in the world, and his appearance will let me know that my imagination is not rich enough, and all his good is actually better than I imagined." 」
At the beginning, this pair of love affairs that not many people are optimistic about, and the return is endless.
Recording a variety show, Zhao Youting once introduced himself like this:
"Hello everyone, I married Gao Yuanyuan in my previous life, I married Gao Yuanyuan in this life, and I will marry Zhao Youting of Gao Yuanyuan in the next life."
He is happy to use a ridiculous tone to self-style with Gao Yuanyuan "fate fixed three lives".
After marriage, the media always tracked Gao Yuanyuan's "pregnancy" until Gao Yuanyuan was 39 years old, and the wave of doubts was higher than a wave.
Gao Yuanyuan collapsed several times, "This seems to have become my fault, or one thing I didn't do right." ”
Artists have always been sensitive to the topic of fertility, and in order not to make mistakes, they often use various public relations techniques to prevaricate.
But here in Zhao Youting, there is no ambiguity, he believes that this is a matter of dignity.
He made it clear that "Dink is acceptable"; he went on to say, "Even if you don't have children, you will always love Yuanyuan." ”
His principledness in love gave Gao Yuanyuan the greatest sense of security.
Five years after the marriage, Gao Yuanyuan was asked, "Do you think you are still in love?" ”
She replied without hesitation, "I think I'm here, and I'm lucky enough to meet the right person." ”
In 2019, Gao Yuanyuan made a comeback after childbirth, and the good state under the high-definition lens is also particularly reassuring.
Even now, there are often comments that ridicule, "Zhao Youting's hatred for taking his wife is not shared."
But no one will really think that Gao Yuanyuan married the wrong person.
After getting married, Gao Yuanyuan gave most of his time to his family.
Attaching importance to the quality of family life, Zhao Youting and Gao Yuanyuan are the same.
Even after the fire, his value soared, he never coveted the workload, and in the face of fame and fortune, Zhao Youting asked himself to maintain sufficient restraint.
In the 12 years since his debut, Zhao Youting has really starred in works, with only 4 TV series and 10 movies.
This may just be the workload of one or two years of the beloved "Bai Qian" (Yang Mi) of the male protagonist "Ye Hua" played by him in "Three Lives and Three Worlds and Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms".
Such a workload is the result of careful screening and filtering.
The reality show "My Agent and Me" revealed that Zhao Youting has three major principles for taking over the play: the script passes, the production team and the publicity team pass the pass, and the role must have performance space.
"There's no need to shoot bad things, you still have to do things at your own pace."
As it turns out, his vision is always good.
Zhao Youting, it seems that there is no scramble, there is everything that is difficult for the male actors to do their best to get.
Recently, he said he wanted to be "quality assurance."
People think that this is a sublimated speech after cooperating with Gong Li and Lou Ye.
But looking closely at this road, his choices and actions are all interpreting and approaching these four words.
Under the surface of calm as water, he gritted his teeth and approached—to hold the key to quality in his own hands.
Whether it's career or life.
