Who is the most stunning actress in the Chinese drama industry in 2022?
Qingshi thinks it is Zhao Liying .
This year, Zhao Liying brought two works in one go.
The first one is "Happiness to Ten Thousand Homes ", a collaboration with the "Godfather of TV series" Zheng Xiaolong.
The first one is the entrepreneurial drama "The Wind Blowing Pinellia ".
Both dramas have ended and have achieved outstanding results.
"Happiness to Ten Thousands of Homes" won the ratings championship when it premiered, and later became the annual champion on both channels.
"Wind Blowing Pinellia" has exceeded 10,000 hits and has won the satellite TV ratings championship for 17 consecutive days.
In addition to the outstanding ratings, the two dramas also have a good reputation.
"Happiness to Ten Thousand Houses" is rated 7.0.
"Wind Blowing Pinellia" scored 8.2, surpassing " Human World " (8.1 points), which was a hit at the beginning of the year, and became the domestic drama with the highest Douban rating so far this year that has exceeded 10,000 hits.
has two works aired in a year, both of which are popular and popular.
I have to say that today's Zhao Liying is simply "a winner."
Through the two dramas "Wind Blowing Pinellia" and "Happiness Comes to Ten Thousands of Homes", Zhao Liying has also achieved transformation and brought us great surprises.
Today’s Zhao Liying is no longer an actress in idol dramas.
While many actresses of the same age are gradually reaching an impasse, only Zhao Liying has been actively seeking transformation.
used his acting skills and fierceness to open a new stage in his acting career.
1.
Don’t let me seize the opportunity. Once there is one, I will seize it desperately.
Unlike many actors with professional backgrounds in the entertainment industry, Zhao Liying is just an ordinary girl who was born in Langfang, Hebei Province and received a technical secondary school degree.
After graduating from technical secondary school, Zhao Liying worked as a salesperson and clerk.
Because when she was a child, Zhao Liying especially liked watching others act, so she always had a dream of becoming an actress.
In 2006, 19-year-old Zhao Liying signed up to participate in the "Yahoo Star Search" competition.
This talent show is a program judged by famous directors such as Feng Xiaogang, Zhang Jizhong, and the winner will get a chance to work with famous directors. In the
competition, Zhao Liying won the support of many netizens with her outstanding performance and pure appearance, and eventually became the champion of the and Feng Xiaogang groups.
After the competition, Zhao Liying signed a contract with Huayi Brothers and starred as the heroine in the commercial film "Kneeling Clan" directed by Feng Xiaogang, officially entering the entertainment industry.
But Zhao Liying, who seemed to have a high starting point, did not usher in a smooth career, but lived a sideline life for seven years.
It wasn't until Qing'er in "The Return of the Princess" that Zhao Liying began to stand out.
In 2013, Zhao Liying starred in the TV series " The Legend of Lu Zhen ".
This is not only her first drama as a heroine, but it also started her path to becoming a popular heroine.
In the play, she plays the role of Lu Zhen, a smart and wise female prime minister of the generation, from a wealthy businesswoman to a palace maid and then to a senior female official.
Zhao Liying portrays the character status at every stage very fully. After
, with the broadcast of dramas such as " Flowers of Thousand Bones ", " The Legend of Chu Qiao " and " Do you know ".
Zhao Liying became popular among the people and became a veritable queen of ratings.
was also nominated for the Magnolia and Huading Awards for Best Actress for her wonderful performance of Sheng Minglan in "Do You Know".
And behind Zhao Liying's ups and downs of struggle from a supporting role to the queen of ratings.
From the time she entered the industry, Zhao Liying secretly swore in her heart:
Don’t let me seize the opportunity. Once there is one, I will definitely seize it with all my strength.
For every opportunity, she also made it clear:
Life is short, so cherish every opportunity and give it your best.
So since her debut, Zhao Liying has been known for her seriousness and dedication. When
was most popular, she was filming 365 days a year, with almost no time for rest.
"The Legend of Chu Qiao" was dragged and rubbed on the ground. Some of the injuries on her body were makeup effects, but most of them were real injuries.
《宫丝 agarwood》The horse was frightened and threw Zhao Liying down. 's spine was injured and a bulge was left on her back.
"Happiness to Ten Thousand Houses" was shot out of season. Zhao Liying was wearing thin clothes and was shot over and over again.
is said to have had a very serious cold after filming.
Because she is not from a major, she does not have much acting skills, so her acting skills are more "experiential", that is, living herself into the role.
As she said herself, I love a character. When I invest in a character, I have to feel the same way as she does.
It is precisely because of Zhao Liying's all-out efforts in the characters that we have seen so many vivid and vivid characters.
Just as the Sixth Princess of CCTV commented:
Zhao Liying steadily took one step at a time, seized every opportunity, blossomed with confidence, and also opened a splendid path in her own acting career.
2.
If men have heroic dreams, why can’t women?
looks back on Zhao Liying’s acting career.
Whether it is Xiao Gu in "Flower Thousand Bones", Chu Qiao in "The Legend of Chu Qiao", or Sheng Minglan in "Know or Not".
These different roles all have similar cores.
That is not to rely on men, but to live out your own wonderful life with your own tenacity.
Zhao Liying once talked about her thoughts on the role in "Starry Sky Speech":
I don't want female characters to always stick to small love affairs, always fighting for men, and relying on men.
I hope they can have richer thoughts and actively pursue their beliefs.
If men have heroic dreams, why can’t women?
And her understanding of the role she played also indirectly expressed her views on love and marriage.
As an actress, Zhao Liying's love life is relatively simple.
In addition to her scandal with Chen Xiao, her most notable relationship experience was with Feng Shaofeng.
Zhao Liying and Feng Shaofeng are typical romance lovers. The first scene where the two met was the movie "The Kingdom of Women".
In the play, Zhao Liying is the king of the daughter country who is willing to abandon her royal power and wealth for love, while Feng Shaofeng is the holy monk Tang Sanzang who adheres to the precepts and rules throughout his life.
When promoting the movie at the time, both of them clearly expressed their appreciation for each other.
Feng Shaofeng described Zhao Liying:
"She is born with a watery look, giving people the innocence of first love in it."
Zhao Liying also used the words when she evaluated Feng Shaofeng, "Brother Shaofeng is a white horse, Prince Charming."
After that, the two collaborated on the TV series "Know or Not", and their understanding of each other became deeper.
On October 16, 2018, the two skipped announcing their relationship and directly announced their marriage as husband and wife.
Many people were very surprised by this big news. Coupled with Feng Shaofeng's rich previous love history, many people were not optimistic about this relationship.
After marriage, Zhao Liying and Feng Shaofeng were very low-key and did not deliberately show off their affection.
From Zhao Liying’s daily sharing, we can see her happiness. Five months later, the two also welcomed the fruit of their love.
But just when everyone thought that Zhao Liying and Feng Shaofeng would become a loving couple in the entertainment industry, a surprising news came.
On April 23, 2021, Zhao Liying announced that she and Feng Shaofeng had peacefully broken up and ended their marriage.
From the official announcement to the divorce, their marriage only lasted for more than 3 years. As soon as the news of
came out, everyone was speculating why the two got divorced.
Looking at it now, the reason why Zhao Liying and Feng Shaofeng got divorced was not because one party cheated on them or they were not in a good relationship, but more because of the difference in their attitudes towards life.
Due to the different growth environment, Zhao Liying dares to be free and easy and has a strong career ambition.
But Feng Shaofeng enjoys comfort, and is even too delicate and sensitive, lacking confidence in this relationship.
In "The Adventure of Life", he once said:
I can't understand my wife. Sometimes I often ask her, do you really like me to be with me?
Or are you staying with me just to get married because you are of age to get married?
So when these two people with different pursuits get together, it is inevitable that conflicts will begin to arise.
Divorce has become their best choice.
After all, Zhao Liying is destined to be a woman who will not stick to small loves or even depend on men.
3.
is heading towards the development direction of Qingyi .
Qingshi mentioned at the beginning of the article that in this year’s Chinese drama circle, Zhao Liying’s performance was very eye-catching.
She starred in two works, "Happiness Comes to Ten Thousands of Homes" and "The Wind Blowing Pinellia", which received both good ratings and good reviews.
is different from many idol dramas on the market. "Happiness Comes to Ten Thousands of Homes" and "Wind Blowing Pinellia" are both realistic-themed works.
In the play, Zhao Liying plays a stubborn rural woman and a second-rate dealer who collects rags.
Because she is the most common low-level female character, Zhao Liying does not deliberately try to beautify her appearance in the play.
in "Happiness to Ten Thousand Houses".
Zhao Liying is very simple from makeup to hair, wearing a plain face, with crow's feet faintly visible.
in "The Wind Blowing Pinellia".
In many facial shots, you can see the fine lines and ravines on Zhao Liying's face.
There is a scene in the play where Xu Banxia, who is heavily in debt, finally ushered in the day when steel prices bottomed out.
She cried with joy. At this time, Zhao Liying had disheveled hair, a shiny face, blackheads and wrinkles.
But these do not affect the beauty of the character at all, because Zhao Liying uses her real state to give the character more touching vitality.
It can be said that compared with those actresses in the domestic entertainment industry who are only "girly", Zhao Liying worked too hard for the role.
The most important thing is that in addition to breaking through her previous screen image, Zhao Liying also contributed outstanding acting skills.
allows us to see a different actor Zhao Liying.
In order to make He Xingfu more down-to-earth in "Happiness to Ten Thousands of Houses", Zhao Liying designed a lot of small tricks.
For example, put your hands in your pockets when walking.
Sit casually while eating.
These details make the character of He Xingfu even more rural.
At the same time, Zhao Liying also performed the character's fierce and stubborn spirit.
At his own wedding, when he heard his sister calling for help, He Xingfu kicked open the door, picked up the bench and threw it at the head of the person who bullied his sister.
Zhao Liying's simple kicking and smashing actions fully demonstrated the strong and brave woman in He Xingfu.
That sentence, "Secretary Wan, I don’t want money, I just want an explanation."
also shows the heroine's stubbornness and perseverance.
In "Wind Blowing Pinellia", Zhao Liying's acting skills are amazing again.
Zhao Liying is full of momentum as soon as she appears, with red lips, curly hair and a loud voice.
presents to the audience Xu Banxia, a well-rounded businesswoman who has both sides of the problem.
Moreover, the different emotions and feelings of the characters were also perfectly interpreted by Zhao Liying.
went abroad to order scrap steel and was deceived. She showed panic and helplessness but also revealed a trace of tenacity to not give up.
had an explosive argument with Tong Xiaoqi.
After learning that Xiao Chen passed away not long ago, she felt heartbroken, blamed herself, and was reluctant to give up. Her suppressed emotions were accompanied by a runny nose.
After the two dramas were broadcast, netizens commented on Zhao Liying that "this is developing in the direction of Qingyi".
is enough to illustrate the wonderfulness of her performance.
4.
Congratulations, there is another "traitor" among domestic entertainment actresses
When it comes to Zhao Liying, there is one group that cannot be avoided, 85 Flowers.
Typical representatives of "85 Flowers" include Zhao Liying, Yang Mi, Liu Shishi, Tang Yan, Ni Ni, etc.
In the entertainment industry, "85 Flowers" are the most representative mainstay, especially when the exposure of "big flowers" such as Zhou Xun, Li Bingbing and other "big flowers" is declining year by year.
Compared with other 85 stars, Zhao Liying had a low starting point and became popular late.
Yang Mi, Tang Yan and others are all from majors, but Zhao Liying is just a non-student who graduated from a technical secondary school.
Ni Ni was at her peak when she debuted. As a girl, she starred in Zhang Yimou 's war epic movie "The Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling ".
In 2011, "Palace" and "Step by Step Shocking " also made Yang Mi and Liu Shishi become top stars.
After Zhao Liying debuted, she was surrounded by unknown supporting roles. It was not until the 2015 fairy tale drama "A Thousand Bones of Flowers" that she became a big hit.
And among the post-85s generation, Zhao Liying also seems very lonely.
Yang Mi, Ni Ni and Liu Shishi are good sisters, Liu Yifei and Tang Yan are also close friends.
These actresses hugged each other to keep each other warm, promoted each other, celebrated birthdays and parties, and seemed very close to each other.
Only Zhao Liying seems to be outside the circle of 85 flowers, and she will have conflicts with each other from time to time.
It looks like 85 Flowers has isolated Zhao Liying.
But when you analyze it carefully, you will find that this is not the case.
Let’s first talk about the career development of these 85 flowers with whom we have a good relationship.
"Model worker" Yang Mi once declared that she "wanted to be a people's art actress."
But on the road of competition between traffic and acting skills, she finally stood on the opposite side of "acting skills".
no longer spends energy to polish his acting skills. After the transformation of works such as " I am a witness " and " baby " failed.
returned to idol dramas and refused to challenge and break through himself.
"Fairy" Liu Yifei, her acting skills have remained stagnant for so many years, and everyone still thinks that her best acting skills are still in "Sword and Fairy".
returned to the TV industry after a few years. After "梦华录" became popular, the work he chose was the current drama "Go Where the Wind Is".
Liu Shishi maintains the KPI of one or two dramas a year.
But the performance in the play is no longer as stunning as in "Step by Step".
As for Tang Yan, she has no intention of fighting.
doesn’t join the crew to film, and is either at home raising her husband or raising children, or taking part in some commercials and variety shows, which makes fans swear.
On the other hand, Zhao Liying has been concentrating on her career and making breakthroughs in herself.
Especially in recent years, Zhao Liying has stepped out of her comfort zone and tried to transform from "Know or Not", frequently testing different themes.
participated in the suspense work "Who is the murderer" by Fog Theater.
collaborated with director Zheng Xiaolong to film the rural drama "Happiness to Ten Thousand Houses".
There is also this period drama "Wind Blowing Pinellia" with the theme of business war.
From these we can see that Zhao Liying is broadening her acting career step by step.
It can be said that Zhao Liying, now 35 years old, seems to be isolated, but in fact she is the most sober.
While other post-85s girls are returning to their comfort zone to rest on their laurels, only Zhao Liying is acting seriously, constantly challenging and improving herself.
When other actresses are still stuck in the girlish persona and don't want to wake up, Zhao Liying knows what works to play at what age.
So it turns out that it was not 85 Flowers who isolated Zhao Liying, but Zhao Liying "abandoned" 85 Flowers.
"betrayed" this collective.
As the audience commented, the first 85 flower to break out of the main drama is Zhao Liying.
Zhao Liying once said in an interview:
Actors actually pursue creating different roles. I also prefer to create different roles. Different characters will bring different feelings to everyone. I also hope that I can be changeable.
Zhao Liying's "sobriety" has made countless actresses in the entertainment industry blush.
Although Zhao Liying is not enough to become Da Qingyi , as long as she continues to not forget her original intention, continue to work hard and break through herself.
I believe that Zhao Liying will go further and better and bring more good works and roles to the audience.
