Do you know who Li Tingyi is? She couldn't even look down on "Little Swallow" back then.
It is said that Taiwanese actor Li Tingyi was originally scheduled for the role of "Little Swallow" when the filming of "Returning the Pearl" was planned in 1997. As the star of the rookie at the time, Li Tingyi still pulled the scripts of "The Raptors Passing Hong Kong" and "Young Hero Fang Shiyu" to choose from. At that time, Qiong Yao had two films being filmed at the same time. Against the backdrop of "There Are Tears in the Sky" starring Jiang Qinqin and Jiao Enjun, the lineup of the newcomers in "Returning the Pearl" looked very dim.
Moreover, the director of "There are tears in the sky" is Qiong Yao's queen Li Ping. On the other hand, "Returning the Pearl" is only led by Qiong Yao's daughter-in-law, which is very different. Based on this consideration, Li Tingyi and her agent judged that the possibility of "Returning the Pearl and Gege" was extremely low, and temporarily rejected the crew before filming started, and switched to "Young Hero Fang Shiyu" to play the second female Wing Chun.
Although "Young Hero Fang Shiyu" was also very popular after it was broadcast, it is still inferior to the popularity of "Returning the Pearl". Today, Li Tingyi is just an announcement coffee maker who makes a little money by running announcements, while Zhao Wei has become popular all over the country with the corner of "Little Swallow".
It is undeniable that compared with Zhao Wei, Ruby Lin, and Fan Bingbing today, Li Tingyi’s starlight has long been bleak, but if you turn the time back 20 years ago, Li Tingyi was once the most popular female star in Taiwan, appointed by Jackie Chan. The film actress number one.
Li Tingyi made her debut very early. She was discovered by scouts and entered the show business at the age of 15. The first play was her partner Jin Chaoqun, Lu Yilong, He Jiajin, and Song Da Minzhu in the costume drama "The Purple Hammer of Bao Qingtian", in which she played. The gentle and pleasant Qing Chi Cuiyu, this is her first TV drama work.
Later, she was even more favored by Jackie Chan, co-starring with Jackie Chan, Richard Norton, and Billy Gordon in the New Year comedy movie "A Good Man", and played a couple with Jackie Chan in the film, but unfortunately she failed to take this movie. And red.
After that, Li Tingyi began to march to the big screen. Qiong Yao was also photographed and invited her to play the heroine Little Swallow in "Han Zhuge Ge". Li Tingyi has a marked face, with thick eyebrows and big eyes like Zhao Wei , Which is very consistent with Qiong Yao's consistent beauty pageant standards. Unfortunately, Li Tingyi gave up this opportunity.
Many people feel sorry for Li Tingyi, but Li Tingyi talked about missing the role of "Little Swallow", but she was very indifferent. She said, "It shouldn't be mine, and I can't keep it."
Li Tingyi was wrong. The downloading completed Zhao Wei's popularity, and what is more interesting is that Li Tingyi actually fell in love with Zhao Wei's ex-boyfriend later. Zhao Wei’s ex-boyfriend, Ye Maoqing, is a well-known real estate tycoon, known as the “Big Mac” of Shanghai real estate. He has had scandals with many actresses in the entertainment industry, and he likes big-eyed beauties. Zhao Wei, Li Tingyi, and Ye Xuan have all dated with him.
The relationship between Zhao Wei and Ye Maoqing also caused a lot of heated discussion in the entertainment circle. In 1999, Zhao Wei publicly admitted that he had been dating Ye Maoqing for three years. He also said that the two had already met their parents. The media took photos of them kissing in the street while on vacation in Singapore. Unexpectedly, in early 2001, Zhao Wei herself announced the end of her four-year relationship with Ye Maoqing.
Ye Maoqing is really a romantic figure. Within a month of breaking up with Zhao Wei, he met Li Tingyi under the introduction of Malaysian actor Mo Changcheng, and immediately pursued her passionately. But this relationship did not last long. After that, Li Tingyi was in a silent state for a long time. Because of his father's illness, she was busy taking care of his father, and she rarely filmed the movie.
In recent years, the media has also lamented that she has become a "announcement artist" and went around "for gold". Fortunately, she later met Ken, a businessman who was 4 years older than him. They quickly dated and became pregnant unmarried in 2016. , Gave birth to a baby boy successfully.
Missing the little swallow, for Li Tingyi, is indeed a lost opportunity to become popular, but to lose the East and reap the mulberry, there is a happy marriage. It is right and wrong to stay away from the entertainment circle and enjoy the plain happiness. A blessing.
