"Sing and act, be a good actor, shoot the scene well, be older, do a little side business, buy a house, let the parents rest assured." After the latest issue of the golden fish sharing meeting on the sub-account drama "The World of Thousands of Gold", Fang Yilun, a young actor after 90, was interviewed by Spicy Fish, so faintly told the "small wish" in his heart.
Although it is not a distant goal, on the road to realization, Fang Yilun has been running for nearly a decade. From singer to actor, from obscurity to well-known, he always has that original intention and continues to dream of showbiz.
The silent idol time is more of a tempering
For most viewers, the familiarity with Fang Yilun is through the characters he has created on the screen. But perhaps only fans who really know him, or pay attention to the K-pop, know that he actually stepped into the show business circle as a member of the idol boy band.
Fang Yilun has had the desire to stand on the stage and perform since he was a child. He began to learn piano at the age of 5 and a half, and passed the seventh grade of music theory of Shanghai Conservatory of Music and the 9th grade of piano of China Conservatory of Music with excellent results at the age of 12. The time spent with the piano as a teenager opened his musical dreams.
In 2010, Fang Yilun embarked on a journey to train in South Korea with the dream of being a singer. Before his official debut, he and his teammates underwent 1460 days of secret training, including language, vocal music, dance, etc., practicing for more than 10 hours a day.
After undergoing hellish training, Fang Yilun officially debuted as a four-person idol group and caused a sensation. However, they did not embark on the road of popularity, in the extremely competitive Korean idol market, four teenagers from China, seem to lack a little luck; and in China, there is not enough market for them to develop.
Years of hard work have not been able to harvest the most satisfactory returns, but it has become a kind of tempering on the road of acting by teenagers. Looking back on the original silent time, Fang Yilun is still grateful, because "it has created his hard-working personality, and the performance experience on the stage has also helped him, and he will not feel nervous and afraid in front of the camera." ”

There is no doubt that this experience has solidified the foundation of his transformation into an actor, and it is also a wealth for him. Because he was left to rise and fall in the era of idol flooding, Fang Yilun knows how to cherish all the opportunities of the moment and prove himself with one work after another.
Of course, he has never given up on his musical dreams, and at present, he lets the audience know his voice by singing the theme song and interlude of the starring work. In the future, Fang Yilun will also release an album to let more people see his possibilities in music.
One person has a thousand faces, and it is fun to create a character
In 2014, Fang Yilun transformed into an actor by starring in "Long Live Youth", and in the six years since then, he has starred in or participated in 17 works (including works to be broadcast) as if he had opened a hanging. Every time Fang Yilun appears in a new role, he hopes to surprise the audience with a new look.
For example, in "Long Live Youth", he is Gao Yuxuan, an alternative rich second generation who pursues his dreams; in "The World Is Hot", he is a stupid and cute big boy next door; in "The Lonely Queen", he is Yang Jiasanlang, who is full of immortality and can write and martial arts; in "Delicious Love", he is a teasing rich third generation who continues to grow up in the left and right suddenly; in "Different Beautiful Men", he is a computer genius with heavy love and righteousness...

With the rich experience of acting, Fang Yilun began to challenge roles with more complex emotions and richer layers. Duan Tianci, the master of the drama class in "Wish You Floating Like a Dream", is obsessed with the little master sister, but behind the warm heart, there is a dark side of the inner heart. During the broadcast of the series, the fans could not help but "send him blades".
Liu Xiuwen in the ancient costume otome theme "Peerless Gold" is a Persian prince who endured humiliation and burden after the fall of the country. When analyzing this role, Fang Yilun said: "The great responsibility of restoring the country is pressed on the shoulders, and it is a tragic character full of complex emotions that cannot be loved in the face of the people he wants to love. This is also the first time he has played a stoic and iron-boned and tender character.

In the works that have not yet officially met the audience, Fang Yilun has tried a completely different style of roles, such as the handsome and golden man who sacrificed for love ("Nine Stream Overlord"), the cute and domineering president ("Bright Moon Shines on My Heart"), the high cold male god with full piano score ("Bamboo Horse Pianist") and so on.
Not only participating in the drama, Fang Yilun also dabbled in movies, in "Fake Undercover", learning from powerful actors such as Pan Yueming and Wu Fan, although it is a small test knife, it is also the first taste of the taste of the big screen. In "The Legend of Yan Chixia's Demon Hunting", he competed on the same stage with his idol Shi Xiaolong, challenging a large number of action scenes, and the film also needed to meet the audience.
Fang Yilun told Spicy Fish that he likes to perform because he can experience all kinds of careers and lives that he can't experience in life, "it is a very fun thing." "And, because I like it, even if I work non-stop, I enjoy it."
Take the road of the moment and do not seek to be popular overnight
Like many actors who are not from the class, Fang Yilun slowly became interested after being exposed to acting. For him, honing his acting skills in continuous performance is the most direct and effective way, and he will not easily pass up any opportunity to learn.
"Every performance is an opportunity to grow, and it is also a good way to learn from the director, learn from the seniors, and live your life as a role." Fang Yilun said.

Through study, Fang Yilun not only got the progress in acting, he also had a deeper understanding of acting. In his view, as an actor, the acting school and the method school are indispensable, "if you rely solely on acting skills, it will make people feel emotionally insufficient and unable to resonate with the audience." Because not all drama is so realistic, the experiential presentation is not necessarily the best. Moreover, the performance relies too much on the state of the actor, which may also have a bad impact on the physical and mental health of the actor. ”
In addition, in the mentality of dealing with the responsibility of actors, changes are also quietly occurring. When he first started filming, Fang Yilun may feel that he is not so important, that is, he has done his duty to complete his performance. Now he has begun to consider whether each role, no matter how big or small, can become a highlight of the work because of his own interpretation and shaping, adding points to the entire work. In this way, he strives for better and better performances in every play.
As for whether it can become popular overnight through a role, Fang Yilun said that he never considered these, "As an actor, I want to play every role well and make everyone satisfied." In his eyes, acting is his profession, in each play, do his job, get the pay he deserves, and then withdraw from the work, change the environment to live his life.
Just like his simple life plan, Fang Yilun's planning for his acting career is not so complicated. He does not want to set himself a big goal, but is more pragmatic, that is, "take the road of the moment, do every job in front of him."
