Yoko Spicy, whose real name is Li Jiaqi, was born in 1995 in Tongliao City, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region.
When she was a child, Yoko Spicy actually looked quite cute, with a round face, a smile and a small pear swirl. However, although yoko's facial features have not changed since she grew up, her figure and face have become fat.
She told her mother that she wanted to be an actor when she grew up, and she usually used to spit on her mother, and she would always show disbelief. When she and her friends around her mentioned that she wanted to be an actor, everyone laughed and would not take it seriously.
The reason seems simple, even if everyone knows it – from the looks of it, it's unlikely.
But even so, in high school, she still silently wrote the wish of "I want to become an actor" in her diary: "If you want to find a beautiful actress to grab a handful, but want to find a woman with characteristics, confidence, and funny, I am one."
When I first started making short videos, many people mocked her appearance in the comment area, saying that she was "ugly enough to explode", and once scolded her behind the screen.
In an interview, Yoko Spicy once said:
"My self-confidence is first and foremost self-consistency, whether it is strengths and weaknesses, I can get along well; whether it is a big face or a thick leg, I feel unique." 」
She doesn't think that the small eyes and big round face are ugly, and the face is always hung with a confident smile, becoming sunny and cute;
She did not feel that it was bad to be slightly fat, and she dressed as she wanted to wear whatever she wanted, but was praised for dressing well.
She can accept the existence of these characteristics from the bottom of her heart, get along well with herself, not limited to the eyes of the outside world, and be natural and frank.
Over the past few years, Yoko Hotaru has accumulated the confidence she has today through constant challenges.
As a funny blogger, she went to participate in the "Supernova Games" and competed in artistic gymnastics with a group of tall and thin beauties; obviously "neither looks nor body", but dared to shoot fashion blockbusters and go to fashion week catwalks...
None of these things seemed to be something she could do, or even what she should do, and most people didn't dare to do it.
But she never cared whether she should or could not, only whether she wanted to or not.
As long as you want to do it, any challenge is fearless.
In the eyes of Yoko Spicy, life must dare to think and dare to do, dare to challenge, in order to achieve a better self.
The effort was not in vain, and she also won the "Best Humorous Entertainment Video Award" in the second season of the "Golden Millet" Awards in the second season, becoming a real Internet celebrity.
From ordinary people to Internet celebrities, behind the brilliance is her careful speculation on the role, and the witty and humorous bold performance, which is the resolute determination to take every step steadily.
She then set up her own studio, specializing in funny videos. She and her companions made their own short video series "Spicy Times". It also spoofed some classic film and television dramas, such as "Huan Zhu Ge Ge", "Yanxi Raiders", "Love Is Deeply Rainy", "Small Times" and so on.
And her performance has gradually formed her own unique style from the beginning of imitation.
Some people say that Li Xueqin's popularity depends on luck, but they do not know that he has such an irreproducible life experience.
In Li Xueqin's third year of junior high school, her parents divorced, and since then she has become a child of a single-parent family in the mouths of neighbors, relying on her mother for her life.
Sensible Li Xueqin gradually changed roles with her mother in life, in order not to have gossip, in order to make her mother feel at ease, she became more hard, did not allow herself to take the second place, she herself also laughed at herself: My mother was brought up by me.
Influenced by the original family, Li Xueqin matured prematurely, prematurely thought about others, and gradually became a flattering personality, preferring to be humble herself, but also want to make others happy in her own way, so as to gain affirmation, it may be this kind of psychology, she knocked on the door of Peking University's journalism and communication major through her own efforts.
After going to college, Li Xueqin made a boyfriend, and her mentality became much better.
The boyfriend is a psychology major and is good at listening to Li Xueqin's ideas. In the process of getting along with him, Li Xueqin felt understanding and love, and pessimism was slowly healed.
However, the good times were not long, and fate seemed to be deliberately trying to make things difficult for Li Xueqin.
The boyfriend split his legs!
Li Xueqin also found that her boyfriend had been using her campus card to invite "Little Three" to watch movies.
The beauty of the past vanished, thinking of her own ironic life, pessimism once again filled her heart.
We often say, "Opportunity is reserved for those who are prepared," but sometimes chance has the habit of sneaking in through the back door, and often disguises itself as a momentary frustration and misfortune, so that the prepared person is not able to grasp the opportunity that has come.
Li Xueqin may belong to the kind of people who can grasp the opportunity well when they are frustrated and unfortunate.
Li Xueqin played vibrato.
In Northeastern dialect, she stood in front of the Tsinghua school gate and said: "Hello Wu Yifan, I am Li Xueqin, today I came to Tsinghua University, you see this is the gate of Tsinghua University, how white." Unexpectedly, she was replied by Wu Yifan's flop, and then, unexpectedly, she became a popular Internet celebrity in 2019.
Li Xueqin's theory that "life is like saving plastic bags" is very grounded, but it is also easy to mislead people.
Maybe some people will take advantage of the loophole, take it out of context, and think: What is the difficulty of picking up plastic bags? Then my life will be happy in time, and I will get by and get by.
Not really.
Life is not a aimless wandering, nor is it a long marathon with no end in sight, but a sprint with a short distance.
Li Xueqin, who is "afraid of planning", spared no effort to brush the questions wildly when she went to school, and then was admitted to Peking University, and when she participated in the "Talk Show Conference" in 2020, she spoke of "funeral culture" in another way and successfully reached the finals.
Without the unexpected popularity of the "Greetings Wu Yifan Video", it is difficult to say what career Li Xueqin would choose to do.
But becoming a short video blogger and comedian also meets her professional expectations.
Li Xueqin defines herself as a "storyteller."
"Being a writer, being a screenwriter, being a journalist is a profession that I once fantasized about, I am a person who likes to tell stories, and my dream career is related to storytelling." 」
On February 17, 1987, there was no lightning and thunder and no storm, just such a normal day, born in Shanghai a combination of beauty and talent, named Jiang Yilei.
As an ordinary girl in an ordinary family, there was no earth-shattering story or surprise in her childhood, and the only thing that can be said to be famous is that Jiang Yilei attended Shanghai No. 3 Girls' High School.
The school is famous for having trained several world-famous women, such as the three sisters of the Song family, Song Qingling, Song Meiling, and Zhang Ailing, which also means that Jiang Yilei may also stand out from this school.
When she took the college entrance examination, Papi Sauce added 20 points by virtue of saxophone blowing, and was admitted to the Central Academy of Drama's directing department director's undergraduate; and after graduating from college, she did not make any achievements, and also caused physical problems due to excessive weight loss;
Later, she wanted to be a teacher, so she decided to prepare for graduate school and study for a doctorate.
In 2013, he was successfully admitted as a graduate student in the Directing Department of the Central Academy of Drama;
During graduate school, he also talked nonsense with his classmates in college and got married.
In 14 or 15 years, when the self-media rose, some people wrote articles and some people wrote paragraphs, but few people took videos.
Yang Ming quickly realized that this was an outlet and suggested that Jiang Yilei do short videos, after all, she graduated from the Department of Chinese Opera Directing and still has a certain comedic talent.
At the beginning of 15 years, Jiang Yilei and college classmate Huo Nifang registered the Weibo account "TCgirls Love to Spit" and began to officially enter the "small river" of short videos.
Later, she flew solo and began to shoot videos herself, which were initially nonsensical spoofs.
Especially the "Shanghainese + English" series, in which she switches freely between Shanghainese, English and Japanese, it is simply a walking language machine, which makes people laugh and sigh at the same time: She is really talented!
At the end of 2016, she agreed to the invitation of director Chen Kexin and decided to star in "Demon Bell Bells"; after that, she also tried to shoot advertisements; what's more, she began to appear on random variety shows such as "Happy Base Camp" and "Spit Conference".
From being afraid of failure, being afraid to step out of your own safe zone, to accepting change and trying hard.
Papi sauce learned: instead of being afraid of unknown failures and being dragged by fate, it is better to face the difficulties and embrace and accept everything that life has given you.
Falling on stage? Just get up; speak the wrong thing? Just change it; do it wrong and fail? Just adjust the strategy and do it again!
