In 2005, 5-year-old Yi Qianxi thought he had met a liar.
Just a few minutes ago, he was rejected by the piano teacher for being "too young", and a few minutes later, the dance teacher next door actually said that he was a "genius"!
Yi Qianxi thought that the dance teacher was going to cheat him of his tuition, but unexpectedly, his mother agreed, making him the youngest student in this dance class.
3 months later, Yi Qianxi followed the class to participate in a national competition, and actually got back a silver medal. The mother was overjoyed and felt that the dance teacher was right, so she began to arrange for her son to attend more art classes.
Chinese dance, ethnic dance, Latin dance, street dance... In addition to endless dance lessons, Yi Yanqianxi also has to learn niche specialties such as gourd silk, face changing, and magic when he has free time, all of which are to make him "different".
In fact, Yi Qianxi's name is different. In the winter of 2000, when he was born in Hongjiang City, Huaihua, Hunan Province, his parents really welcomed the millennium, so they used the local welcome "烊" and named him "Yi Qianxi".
Later, a reporter asked Yi Qianxi: "Are you really happy to learn so many things?" ”
Yi Qianxi said, "No, I'm just used to it." ”
In addition to attending various art specialty classes, Yi Qianxi also participates in various children's programs.
In 2008, 8-year-old Yi Yiqianxi won the championship in Shanxi TV's "Sunshine Youth" program, and then joined the children's group "Fei Xuan Youth", since then, his pace of life has become faster.
At that time, Yi Qianxi's normal behavior was to attend classes in the morning and train in the afternoon. Because of the long distance and tight time, he often had to solve the problem of eating and changing clothes in the car...
Sometimes she would not be able to return home because she could not catch the last train, and her mother could only take Yi Qianxi to stay at a relative's house. Later, Dad was really upset about mother and son, so he spent all his savings to buy a small car.
Just when her mother was running around with Yi Qianxi every day, two teenagers who were far away in Chongqing were also walking step by step.

In 2009, Beijing Times Fengjun Company followed the Korean trainee model and established the first trainee training organization in China, "TF Family", and many "dream-chasing teenagers" came to see and wanted to become famous overnight.
But the trainees are actually very bitter, the time is not long, the first batch of trainees of the "TF Family", only a teenager Wang Junkai excavated from Chongqing by the scouts.
In order to let Wang Junkai accumulate stage experience, the company arranged for him to participate in some children's variety shows and began to recruit the second batch of trainees.
Another Chongqing teenager, Wang Yuan, joined the "TF Family" at this time. In order to train his guts, the company once let him sing in the streets...
Just when the two Chongqing teenagers were fighting monsters and escalating, Yi Qianxi, who was far away in Beijing, was not idle.
He first followed the group "Flying Spinning Teenager" to participate in Shandong Satellite TV's "China Talent", and then starred in his first TV series "Iron Pear Flower", in which he played "Young Zhang Ji'an".
However, whether it was participating in competitions or starring in TV dramas, they could not realize Yi Qianxi's dream of stardom. Seeing that it was about to be the beginning of the small ascension, her mother had no choice but to let Yi Qianxi quit the "Flying Youth" and concentrate on studying.
Compared with Yi Qianxi's step by step, the Chongqing teenagers on the other side were much smoother.
In 2011, the TF family began to adjust its strategy, allowing its trainees to cover songs, and then record videos and upload them online. Not long after, Wang Junkai and Wang Yuan were covered by the original singer Fan Weiqi for singing "One Like Summer and One Like Autumn", which attracted a lot of attention.
The two not only gained a group of fans, but also made the TF family firm in their determination to go down the road of cover songs.
At this time, Yi Qianxi finally ended his "water retrograde" and ushered in the first opportunity in his life.

In 2012, 12-year-old Yi Qianxi participated in "Up! When the "Teenager" was selected in Beijing, he was eliminated by Qian Feng, a judge with "unique insight".
Coincidentally, at that time, those who were also not optimistic about Yi Qianxi were Gao Xiaosong, who was now infamous.
But fortunately, Li Fei, the boss of Beijing Times Fengjun, took a fancy to Yi Qianxi's excellent dancing ability, and after the show, he called and invited him to visit and study at their company's Chongqing training base.
It was this phone call that led to the later TFBOYS.
On Valentine's Day in 2013, Wang Junkai and Wang Yuan's cover of "Onion" became popular on the Internet again. Because the two already have a certain fan base, the TF family changed their plans to wait for the two to become adults and decided to let the two debut.
However, because Wang Junkai, 1-year-old of The Great Yi Qianxi, and Wang Yuan, who is the same age as him, are good at singing, the boss Li Fei specially invited Yi Qianxi, who is good at dancing and has complementary characteristics with the two, to join the group.
On August 6, the TF family released a group image promo "Ten Years", announcing the official debut of TFBOYS.
At first, TFBOYS did not attract much attention, and it was not until the following year that they starred in the TF family's self-made web series "Boys' College Study Room" and had a fixed group of fans.
Later, TFBOYS won the two awards of "Most Popular Singer in mainland China" and "Popular Singer in Music Live" in the second "Music V List", which first appeared in the public eye.
But what really makes TFBOYS fire out of the circle should also belong to the popular "brainwashing divine comedy".
Four
In July 2014, TFBOYS released a single "Youth Cultivation Manual", accompanied by the magical melody of "a slow motion of the left hand and the right hand", which quickly became popular on the Internet and became the "Brainwashing Divine Comedy of the Year".
At that time, there was no concept of "cultivating idols" in China, and the emergence of TFBOYS just filled this gap. Even the Tigers many years ago, the age span of fans was not as exaggerated as that of TFBOYS.
TFBOYS completely broke the shackles of the age of fans, and they were the same age as "normal powder", slightly older is "sister powder", older is "mother powder", and even some "grandma powder". Therefore, some fans also affectionately call the three "three little ones".
It didn't take long for TFBOYS to turn purple in China and appeared on the 2016 CCTV Spring Festival Gala, singing the song "Happy Growth".
Although the three of them developed smoothly, Yi Qianxi may not have been happy at that time.
At that time, although the three became famous for the combination of "TFBOYS", there were many fans who only liked one of them, referred to as "only fans".
Among them, many fans who like Wang Junkai and Wang Yuan have begun to like them since they cover songs, and the sudden addition of Yi Qianxi is like a thief stealing the fruits of Wang Junkai and Wang Yuan.
There are also many people who think that Yi Qianxi is not as good looking as the two of them, and singing is not as good as the two of them, so they are very repulsive to Yi Qianxi.
Even at the autograph meeting, the front of Yi Qianxi is often empty, fans only look for Wang Junkai and Wang Yuan to sign, passing by Yi Qianxi are jumping, as if he is air, making him very embarrassed, but also have to accompany the smiley face...
Although TFBOYS was radiant at that time, all this seemed to have nothing to do with Yi Qianxi. In the face of all kinds of doubts and disapproval from fans, Yi Qianxi silently accepted all this and accumulated his own strength just like when he first learned to dance.
In 2017, TFBOYS once again appeared on the stage of the CCTV Spring Festival Gala, performing the opening song and dance "Beautiful Chinese Year", and its fame reached its peak.
But at this moment, the TF family made a surprising decision.
Five
On September 16, 2017, the three TFBOYS suddenly announced the establishment of a personal studio on Weibo at the same time, which was mistaken by the outside world as dissolution, causing an uproar.
Later, after repeated explanations, it was understood that the three decided to fly alone for better development, but not disband.
Although idol solo is something that many fans have always hoped for, it came too suddenly and caused various speculations among fans.
Some people speculate that it is because the fame of the three people has risen, and the appearance fee has slowly increased. If the three continue to fit together, then the cost of inviting TFBOYS will discourage many partners.
Some people also speculate that it is because the three have more and more fans, and there has been constant friction, and if they continue to let it go, it is easy to get out of control.
So separating the three at the right time is a win-win decision.
Whatever the reason, the three chose to fly solo, which is undoubtedly a milestone event. After separation, the three of them each chose a different direction to develop, and Yi Qianxi was particularly stunning, which can be called a butterfly.
At that time, Yi Qianxi's fans carefully prepared a 17th birthday party for him. At the birthday party, Yi Qianxi also officially announced that the "Yi Qianxi Love Foundation" was jointly established with the China Foundation for Poverty Alleviation.
In fact, this foundation began to prepare as early as a year ago, and the start-up fund is 1.5 million yuan donated by Yi Qianxi personally, mainly to support the left-behind children care project "Child Companion Mother".
The reason why it was chosen to be announced at the 17th birthday party was to let more people know. However, Yi Qianxi considered that many fans did not have financial ability, so even if fans repeatedly asked, he did not open a donation channel.
He just wants to use his influence and get his fans to do the right thing.
Under his influence, his fan group "Thousand Paper Cranes" prepared for him as an 18-year-old coming-of-age ceremony called "Thousand Seal Forest": it is planned to donate 52,000 trees in three years to support the greening construction of the western region, which will be completed before the 18th birthday of Yi Yi Qianxi.
The reason for sending such a gift is precisely because fans know that Yi Qianxi has always been enthusiastic about public welfare and charity, and he has publicly stated: "Public welfare is the dream of the present and the future, and it is something that I want to do forever." ”
He did what he said. At the age of 17, Yi Qianxi donated a Hope Primary School to his hometown of Huaihua, Hunan.
As one of the youth representatives of China, Yi Qianxi also participated in the meeting held by WHO at its headquarters in Geneva, where she delivered an English speech entitled "Embracing Differences, Eliminating Discrimination with Care", and gave more surprises to fans.

In January 2018, Yi Qianxi, who was not yet 18 years old, was invited to participate in the 60th Grammy Awards Ceremony.
The Grammy Awards are the highest award for music in the United States and, like the Oscars, are one of the "Four Major Entertainment Awards of the Year in the United States." Yi Qianxi, on the other hand, was the only Chinese star invited by the Grammys that year.
After returning to China, Yi Qianxi participated in the 2018 CCTV Spring Festival Gala without stopping, singing the song "I have a date with 2035".
Subsequently, Yi Qianxi participated in "This! It's the first season of Hip-Hop. But at the beginning of the show, 18-year-old Yi Qianxi was questioned.
Because many of the contestants are not shallow in qualifications, some have already won the world championship of street dance competitions, and some have more than 18 years of dancing age, many people have questioned this hairy boy, how can He De be everyone's mentor?
But with the broadcast of the show, Yi Qianxi used his dancing strength and humble attitude to win the respect of everyone, and successfully led his team "Flammable Device" to win the overall championship.
And his words on the "Night of the Championship" made people look at him even more. He said: "The overall champion is Han Yu, but the final winner, who benefits the most, is the street dance itself." ”
After the program was broadcast, not only was Yi Qianxi greatly praised, but many street dancers really went from the ground to the ground.
But the surprise brought to people by the "four-character brother" Yi Yanqianxi has just begun.
Seven
In 2018, the 18-year-old Yi Yiqianxi acted again "after many years", playing a strategist "Li Bi" in the TV series "The Twelve Hours of Chang'an".
Although the role is not heavy, Yi Qianxi likes this role very much, because this role has many similarities with him. The same young fame, the same heart has a "pouring fire" in the heart.
All the hardships that Yi Qianxi experienced in her childhood quietly blossomed on the body of "Li Bi". The "Li Bi" he plays has both maturity and profundity that far exceeds his peers, and the innocence that an 18-year-old teenager should have.
When director Cao Dun commented on Yi Qianxi's performance, he said that this was an actor who appreciated the food and ate by God, and even gave a high evaluation of "ingenious work can never be beaten naturally".
It is precisely because of this play that Yi Qianxi, who has always known where the road is, has finally found the direction in which the "unquenchable fire" in his heart should burn.
After the killing, Yi Qianxi pushed off all the notices and concentrated on preparing for the college entrance examination at home. At that time, he had already thought about becoming an actor in the future.
At that time, Yi Qianxi had to study from six or seven o'clock in the morning until the evening every day. Even if the teacher is gone, he will continue to learn.
Such a life, he insisted on two months. Finally, with a score of 473 points in the culture class and 94.8 points in the professional course, he was admitted to the Chinese opera and learned "drama film and television performance".
After entering the university, Yi Qianxi immersed herself in studying, as if she had disappeared from the public eye for a while.
Later, when he appeared in front of people again, just like the show he performed at the CCTV Mid-Autumn Festival Gala: "The Excitement Has Just Begun".

In 2019, 19-year-old Yi Qianxi and 27-year-old Zhou Dongyu starred in the movie "Young You".
Although Yi Qianxi's acting skills in "The Twelve Hours of Chang'an" were well received, this was his big-screen debut after all, and to what extent he could act, everyone had no score in their hearts.
Unexpectedly, the "Xiaobei" played by Yi Qianxi surprised everyone, whether it is the grasp of details or the understanding of the role, Yi Qianxi's performance is far beyond people's expectations.
Especially in the crying scene with Zhou Dongyu across the glass at the end, the two obviously did not say anything, but the change in their eyes made people feel as if everything had been said.
With "Young You", Yi Qianxi was young, won numerous awards, and even almost ascended to the sky, directly nominated for the "Golden Film Award Film Emperor" and "Golden Rooster Award Film Emperor".
However, in Yi Qianxi's view, the most important significance of this play is to prove itself to the audience and make people begin to recognize that Yi Qianxi is indeed an actor.
As early as the premiere, when Zhang Ji, the screenwriter of "Young You", said to him, "Qianxi, you are not an idol, you are an actor", Yi Qianxi couldn't help but cry...
Because the actor is the identity he wants most.
In the end, "Young You" won a total of 1.558 billion yuan at the box office, ranking ninth in the annual box office. Yi Qianxi, who is not yet 20 years old, has reached the achievements that many actors have hoped for in their lifetime!
Some people questioned: Will Yi Qianxi go high and low, becoming a realistic version of "Hurt Zhongyong"? Unexpectedly, Yi Qianxi's performance was very unexpected.

In 2020, 20-year-old Yi Yanqianxi starred in the anti-cancer movie "Send You a Little Red Flower". With his delicate performance, the audience once again saw his visible growth.
In addition to the remarkable acting skills, the box office of "Send You a Little Red Flower" is also fixed at 1.4 billion yuan. Yi Qianxi once again proved with facts that as long as he is willing to work hard, "top star" and "small fresh meat" can also be a good actor.
Since then, no one has doubted Yi Qianxi's strength as an actor, and he has also topped the Forbes China Celebrity List for the first time.
In 2021, the 21-year-old Yi Qianxi gradually focused his work on movies.
Once, he was accidentally injured while filming with Wu Jing, but he did not speak up, and he crawled to the scene with great pain to continue shooting. Wu Jing was very touched after knowing this, and praised Yi Qianxi for having such a professional spirit and a promising future.
This year, in addition to the critically acclaimed anti-epidemic movie "Chinese Doctor", there is also a war-themed "Chosin Lake" released on September 30.
A while ago, when Xiaoyanzi was banned overnight, some netizens said that when Yi Qianxi flew alone, he was signed under Xiaoyanzi's name, so maybe this wave will be implicated and the glory will no longer be glamorous.
But now, the movie starring Yi Qianxi is not affected at all, which is the best response to rumors.
In addition, Yi Qianxi also participated in the filming of the Air Force's propaganda film last year. Some netizens joked: When Yi Qianxi sat on the J-20, everything about him has been investigated clearly, what else do you have to worry about?
Although the entertainment industry is full of all kinds of bright rules and unspoken rules, if you want to truly achieve long-term prosperity in the circle, these two points are still crucial: excellent character, plus excellent works!
As Yi Qianxi himself once said: "In fact, I think some light must be baptized by the night to be more translucent, sometimes, I feel like the rice dumplings in my hometown, it takes a long time to fry before it tastes." ”
