Preface
At the end of 2022, the TV series " Wind Blowing Pinellia " made huge profits.
has a Douban score of 8.4 and has been viewed more than 620 million times, firmly ranking at the top of the TV drama popularity list during the same period.
Xu Banxia, played by Zhao Liying, not only popularized the clothing style of wavy hairstyle and small leather jackets, but also allowed the audience to see the possibility of wild growth, igniting an optimistic and positive attitude towards life.
The most “hot” woman this winter is Xu Banxia.
And Zhao Liying has the same spiritual qualities as her.
"Wind Blowing Pinellia" is a novel written by Anai . "The Great River Goes East", " Ode to Joy " and "Everything Is Good" are all written by him. But with such a good book, director Fu Dongyu was unsure.
Because the realistic themes are easy to be photographed, we finally decided to let everyone go back and calm down for two days. Unexpectedly, the next night, Zhao Liying took the initiative to push the director: " Even if we can't shoot well ourselves, we can't let others mess up ."
It was this sentence that made Director Fu see the shadow of Xu Banxia. Later, he said in an interview, "It was Zhao Liying's courage that kicked me onto the battlefield."
As soon as this drama ended, Zhao Liying devoted herself non-stop to the filming of 's new drama "Walking with the Phoenix". On the winter solstice in 2022, photos of the crew making dumplings were also released.
Zhao Liying is no longer the little girl she was 16 years ago, but a heroine in control of her own life. Just like what she said on " Starry Sky Speech ": "Don't let me have the opportunity. Once I have it, I will seize it with all my life."
In the Douban drama review, someone said: "Zhao Liying has already left behind many other actors of her generation." Someone else said: "Among the 85 little flowers, she is the most serious and successful in transformation."
In any era, those who focus on their own field will eventually be rewarded. Xu Banxia was like this in the 1990s, and so is Zhao Liying now.
They all come from ordinary backgrounds, have goals and drive, and work hard to improve their skills. One day, ability can support vigorous ambition.
85 Among the young flowers, some have become Buddhists and some have become mentors. It seems that only Zhao Liying is still working hard.
Many people are waiting to see her: When the little traffic flower who doesn't like transformation "gets old", how will it end bleakly?
01
Zhao Liying’s “upper limit”.
When she was 19 years old, Zhao Liying, who was not a professional, was evaluated by Feng Xiaogang: "She is very smart and has great potential. I hope she can go further in her performance." However, in the next 11 years, Director Feng never contacted her again.
But Zhao Liying never gave up. She seized every opportunity, defeated monsters and upgraded, frequently changed maps, and finally turned around on her own.
In 1987, Zhao Liying was born in an ordinary family in Langfang, Hebei. Her father is a grassroots policeman and her mother is a department store salesperson. She has been fostered in her grandfather's house in the countryside since she was a child.
I graduated from junior high school and went to a technical secondary school. I wanted to be a stewardess but couldn't even get into the interview. Zhao Liying can only distribute leaflets and work as a waiter. Once, she accidentally saw a talent show advertisement for "Yahoo Star Search" and signed up without even thinking about it.
I didn’t know until I arrived in Beijing that I was choosing actors. A newborn calf is not afraid of tigers. If the program crew asked her to sing, she would start singing, and if the program crew asked her to dance, she would start twisting. Although it is not professional, it is better than Typhoon . went all the way and won the championship in Feng Xiaogang's group.
Subsequently, Zhao Liying was signed by Huayi Brothers. First she played the female lead in "The Kneeling Tribe" directed by Feng Xiaogang, and then she played Tong Duoduo in the TV series "Golden Wedding".
In 2006, 19-year-old Zhao Liying officially debuted.
However, the previous resources are already the ultimate reward for the champion. You have to make your own way in the future.
But Zhao Liying has neither background nor resources, so even her parents advised her to go back and live a peaceful life. But she would rather work as a minor player with a salary of one to two thousand, and also look for opportunities on the crew.
In 2011, Zhao Liying's contract with Huayi expired and she signed a contract with Hairun Film and Television. After that, she played Qing'er in 's "My Fair Princess".
In the past 5 years, Zhao Liying worked hard to practice her basic skills, played maids, costume dramas, and even played Mrs. Xing's niece Xing Xiyan in "A Dream of Red Mansions", but she was not well known by the audience.
Until Qinggege appeared, Zhao Liying began to stand out. The old version of "Huan Zhu Ge Ge" was highly praised, while "The New Version of Huan Zhu Ge Ge" was badly criticized. But the character of Qing'er is eye-catching.
Producers are also hungry for good actors. Zhao Liying’s potential, and are trying to explore. Feng Shaofeng and Yang Mi are starring in "Palace Lock Bead Curtain", and Yu Zheng has Zhao Liying play the role of Lily, a brothel girl.
Unexpectedly, Zhao Liying's performance was just right, and Yu Zheng decided to play something big.
In 2012, Yu Zheng customized a 58-episode TV series "The Legend of Lu Zhen" for her. Zhao Liying starred as the heroine for the first time.
In 2013, Zhao Liying won the "Audience's Favorite Actress Award" for her role as Lu Zhen, and her ratings soared to the top 3 in the annual rankings. The employer struck while the iron was hot and invited Zhao Liying to star in the movie "Palace Lock Agarwood " as Liuli.
This role requires rolling around in the desert at more than 40 degrees Celsius, and Zhao Liying did not want to use a stand-in. Once, the horse was suddenly frightened, and she fell on her back, injuring her waist. She still has a small bulge on her back.
" Fish Chasing Legend " actor Guan Zhibin once said that when Zhao Liying is not filming, she often squats because her lumbar spine is injured and she cannot stand for a long time. She was named "Desperate Sanniang" for this reason.
In 2014, Zhao Liying won the 10th " Golden Eagle Goddess " award and " Most Popular Actress Award " for her performances in "The Wife's Secret" and " Shanshan is Coming ".
This year, 28-year-old Zhao Liying established Hairun Media Zhao Liying Studio.
Xianxia drama "花千 Bone", in 2015 set a ratings record for a weekly drama in the Mainland. Starring Zhao Liying was nominated for the Magnolia Award for Best Actress.
While we were still looking forward to Zhao Liying's next fairy tale drama, she turned around and took on the Republic of China suspense drama "老九门" and the modern drama "Riding the Wind and Waves".
She never stops stepping out of her comfort zone.
In 2017, Zhao Liying and Lin Gengxin partnered in " The Legend of Chu Qiao ". In order to play Chu Qiao well, Zhao Liying was dragged back and forth on the sandy ground under high temperatures, with her mouth full of yellow sand. When it's time to fly around, Diao Wei Ya still doesn't need a substitute.
The agent complained that she had not healed from old injuries and did not take care of her body. But she said: "It would be meaningless if I don't fight for the role of Chu Qiao myself, so I would rather not take it."
30-year-old Zhao Liying stood on the stage of "Starry Sky Speech". She said, "I don't want female characters to be stuck in petty love affairs forever." They should " actively pursue their own beliefs."
In 2018, Zhao Liying starred in "Do you know should be green, fat, red and thin ". Because he was so involved in the drama, even talking to his father felt like facing Sheng Hong, which made Zhao's father complain. But the play was eventually shortlisted for the Magnolia Award, with Zhao Liying winning the Best Actress award.
In 2022, Zhao Liying, who is already a mother, took over the filming of "Happiness Comes to Thousands of Homes" and "Wind Blowing Pinellia", which received rave reviews. In the same year, he served as vice chairman of Hebei Film and Television Association.
85 Xiaohua Zhao Liying has become a first-line female star.
02
Along the way, Zhao Liying has also encountered a lot of doubts.
She grew up in a rural area and has her own local accent. When playing a small role, even if there is only one line, he is often laughed out of the scene with others. So every time the camera shot her, the director would automatically turn down the volume, making it impossible to hear the lines clearly.
Sometimes the tone was turned down, and I saw the director gesticulating and scolding her. From then on, Zhao Liying began to practice Mandarin diligently.
Zhao Liying was born with a round face. Some crew members disliked her for having a "bun face" and asserted that "a round face cannot be a heroine." suggested that she undergo plastic surgery first , otherwise she would be replaced. A girl with weak judgment may just obey. But Zhao Liying refused and worked harder to polish her acting skills.
What she wants is to improve her strength, and she has never thought about relying on face.
Once, when she was playing a small supporting role, she pouted unintentionally. Unexpectedly, the director scolded me, "You pout like a pig." Zhao Liying didn't have time to feel aggrieved, so she immediately apologized and corrected herself, and continued to work on her skills in her free time.
Hard work will never be in vain, she wants to prove it to everyone.
In 2014, Zhao Liying took a break from filming to appear on the popular variety show Running Man. The program team arranged the water event , but she was informed in advance that she could not swim. However, no one paid attention to her after she fell into the water. She panicked and called for help. She choked several times before the lifeguard came. Zhao Liying, who has lingering fears, no longer wants to rely on variety shows.
A good actor should maintain a certain sense of mystery, otherwise the audience will easily be fooled. In the recent "County Party Committee Courtyard", Huang Lei, who plays the role of Secretary Lu Qingshan, always feels like he will transform into Chef Huang and go to the kitchen to cook in the next second.
Similarly, if Deng Chao , Sha Yi makes a TV series now, the audience will have the same feeling.
Perhaps, if Hua Chenyu, who has never acted before, takes part in the film, people may feel something new. Of course, there will also be people waiting to see the joke.
Variety shows are a double-edged sword. If Zhao Liying wants to be popular, she can't rely on variety shows.
In 2017, Dior will record a video, which is a promotional video about love. The brand invited Carina Lau , Yang Ying , and Zhao Liying, and everyone needed to speak a few words in English.
Zhao Liying, who has only technical secondary school education, cannot speak fluently. As soon as the video came out, she was indeed attacked by black fans. It is said that the "ugly duckling" in rural areas will not become a "golden phoenix" after all.
Someone even left a message on Dior’s official blog, resolutely boycotting Zhao Liying on the grounds that “she single-handedly lowered Dior’s tone.” In the end, the brand had no choice but to remove Zhao Liying’s promotional video.
But the matter is still fermenting. Someone sent Zhao Liying’s English video to an English class in a certain school and used it as a negative teaching material to observe. Because her pronunciation was so bad, fans kept calling her a "bitch".
Zhao Liying laughed it off and continued to cultivate her own territory.
It seems that Zhao Liying is ridiculed by the crowd for her "rusticism". At an event, the host asked everyone to raise their glasses of red wine. The camera captured Zhao Liying holding the cup. She was scolded again for being "unworthy of the stage."
An actor’s confidence is always his acting skills. Social etiquette can be made up now.
However, even the drama played by Zhao Liying turned over.
The martial arts drama " You Fei " was criticized because Zhao Liying used a knife like a fist to embroider her legs. It's obviously a coming-of-age drama about the heroine upgrading her skills to fight monsters, but it was turned into an idol drama. When the male and female protagonists met for the first time, they kissed and hugged each other.
Some people said, "This is the worst movie Zhao Liying has ever filmed" and asked Xiao Zhao to give "the reason for taking this movie."
The explanation is to deliberately cover up, facts speak louder than words.
Zhao Liying was never interested in fighting. She turned around and took over filming the rural drama "Happiness to Ten Thousands of Houses" and the commercial war period drama "Wind Blowing Pinellia", which received rave reviews. It seems that there is no drama that she cannot perform.
Zhao Liying considers herself an "actor who grew up in denial", and doubts will only make her more frustrated and courageous.
85 Among the young flowers, she has the most ordinary background, but has the most successful transformation.
03
Zhao Liying was so busy in her career that she took time to get married.
In 2018, Zhao Liying met Feng Shaofeng while filming the movie "Journey to the West". In the same year, the two starred in 78 episodes of the TV series "Do you know whether you should be green, fat, red and thin" and won the 30th Golden Eagle Award .
In October 2018, the two officially announced that they had obtained the certificate. The romance announcement was skipped, and the social media server was almost paralyzed.
In March 2019, 32-year-old Zhao Liying gave birth to a son for 41-year-old Feng Shaofeng.
Half a year after giving birth, Zhao Liying made an active comeback. She wanted to ask her mother to take care of the baby, but Feng Shaofeng wanted her to stay at home and raise her children. Feng's mother also didn't like her daughter-in-law's public appearance. She always felt that Zhao Liying's education and family background were not worthy of her son.
In April 2021, Zhao Liying’s studio officially announced her divorce.
But netizens believe that the unworthy person in this relationship is Feng Shaofeng. He once said in an interview:
"I can't understand my wife. Sometimes I don't know if she really loves me, or is she just with me for marriage?"
Some people say, "It's not surprising to meet love or sex, but the strange thing is to meet someone who understands you." How can Feng Shaofeng, the second generation of rich people, understand the restless heart of Zhao Liying, who worked her way up from the bottom?
Feng Shaofeng’s parents are in the textile industry, and the family business is spread across the country. As the only son in the family, he is the natural heir. Feng Shaofeng’s filming is just one of his hobbies. If he wants to stop, he can always inherit his father's legacy.
Zhao Liying is different. When she first entered the entertainment industry, she just wanted to stand out. After 16 years of hard work, if it was just to take care of her children at home after the age of 35 and cope with a life she didn't want for the rest of her life, then she would rather give up this marriage.
They loved each other. However, in addition to her role as a wife and mother, Zhao Liying is herself first. Therefore, there was no third party, no financial involvement, or even a custody battle. They broke up peacefully.
Zhao Liying I’m sorry, maybe it’s my son. But mothers are not only nannies, but also role models. Compared to those mothers who use their children as an excuse to blame others, Zhao Liying is too real.
In September 2022, Zhao Liying was photographed with Feng Shaofeng, perhaps to see her son. She once said, "I hope my son will grow up quickly, but I am afraid that he will grow up too fast."
How to balance family and career is a false proposition in itself. Only the emphasis at different stages of life cannot be perfect. Just like Liu Shishi who is also a 85 little flower, the Buddhist style is also good, as long as it can be self-consistent.
After getting married and having a child, Zhao Liying is on the road again. Those who want to see her end miserably may be disappointed.
Summary
The official WeChat account of "Fashion COSMO" released a new video. Zhao Liying led a wave of retro style in "Wind Blowing Pinellia" and tried a cool style on the cover, with seductive fishnet stockings and black hair highlights, which is unique.
A few days ago, Zhao Liying also shot a magazine with Li Bingbing . The 49-year-old Bingbing has sharp eyes, and the 35-year-old Liying is ambitious. They are goddesses in the same frame. Their beauty is not just superficial, but also carries a spiritual core.
This former round-faced girl stands on her own stage, shining brightly. Has she changed?
She has changed.She has become more assertive, dared to pursue her dreams, and never set limits on her life;
she has not changed either. She is still the girl next door who relies on herself. Once she gets the opportunity, she will fight hard.
When it comes to career, she dares to think and do, and is not afraid of failure; when
treats love, she is magnanimous and free, and respects each other; when
treats doubts, she laughs them off and transcends herself.
Some people say that the dramas filmed by Zhao Liying have gathered together "Princes and Generals, Scholars, Farmers and Businessmen, Fairies and Demons".
Zhao Liying said in "Starry Sky Speech": "If men have heroic dreams, why can't women?"
She "betrayed" 85 Xiaohua. In fact, she was the little tail at first, but now she has counterattacked and become the leader.
But Zhao Liying is not to blame, after all, she is the only one left struggling.
