China News Service, Beijing, January 12 (Liu Yue) At the end of 2023, the emergence of "Derailment" saved a large number of viewers from the drama shortage.
With its quirky and catchy setting and youthful tone, this "suspense love drama" stands out and its popularity is rising steadily. The performances of the protagonists Liu Haocun and Lin Yi even impressed many viewers.
Compared with the aloof male god "Qilian" in the play, actor Lin Yi himself is much more out-of-the-box: "I entered the industry mainly because I wanted to meet my idol, Teacher Hu Ge" "I don't think I am that handsome" "No. To become popular is to enter everyone's field of vision...
The free and easy spirit behind self-ridicule will surely be brewed from confusion and difficulty. Looking back on his acting career, this ignorant boy who once entered the industry for idols has gradually grown up and learned to be the protagonist of his own life.
The atypical domineering president who loves to chew bubble gum
Lin Yi has the completely opposite temperament to "Qilian".
"Derailed" tells the story of Jiang Xiaoyuan, a daughter of a wealthy family, who unexpectedly came to the "parallel world" seven years ago and became a working girl with nothing. She met Qilian, the childhood sweetheart of "Jiang Xiaoyuan" in this time and space. The two discovered that their bizarre experiences were actually related to an experiment called the "Lighthouse Project"...
"He is a very powerful character who can be relied upon. From rebellious and confused, to gradually transitioning to 'as if' he has learned to control himself. Emotions." In Lin Yi's view, Qilian's madness is hidden under the surface of rationality: "When you watch the feature film, you will find that he is a little crazier and sometimes not so rational."
After discovering the true identity of the heroine Later, in the pouring rain, Qi Lian grabbed Jiang Xiaoyuan's wrist and pressed forward step by step. The rain flashed across his two pairs of desperate eyes. Such a spark-filled scene made netizens shout "a perfect match" - interestingly, Lin Yi believes that "Derailed" is not a sweet pet drama in the traditional sense, "It has elements of love, but it may not be sweet." Love is not warm and sweet, but more about inspiration and growth."
The only part in the play that Lin Yi admitted was "very sweet" was the piece of bubble gum that "Qilian" habitually chewed. This contrast-filled setting stems from my own flash of inspiration. "After seeing the complete script, I felt that this character was episodic, and the audience did not even know his origin and purpose in the early stages. I needed to find a concrete small object suitable for their relationship to connect them together, and Bubble Gum was It’s very suitable.”
Although Bubble Gum is very sweet, the collaboration between the two leading actors is not that charming. Speaking of the princess hugging scene in the play, Lin Yi said straightforwardly: "She is very light, so there is no difficulty in filming the princess hugging her. And she is a dancer, so (she) will use force when picking her up, just like the lifting movement during dancing. , this is a cooperative behavior between two people."

In the eyes of "i person" Lin Yi, Liu Haocun is also a typical "i person": simple and direct personality, but people who are new to her may not understand her That kind of simplicity. When two i people communicate, one of them must "do e for i", so Lin Yi took on the important task of breaking the ice.
"In order to open up the topic, I discussed raising pets with her. I raised a cat named Gaba, and then she said that she raised spiders and kept them at home." Recalling the chicken-duck talk, Lin Yi couldn't help laughing: "What she meant was that some spiders, ants, and cockroaches lived with her at home and were her pets."
"There was humor in what she said, but I didn't get it at the time. I just thought , how should I answer this, what does it mean? Many times you will feel that she is in a dimension of her own."
"After getting familiar with her, I understand some of her points. In fact, I often 'talk nonsense' and say some If I were in my own dimension, if I did some things in my own dimension, others might not understand me very well."
"The intersection with the idol Hu Ge is the starting point of the dream"
Lin Yi is indeed a person who occasionally lives in his own dimension - it can be seen from his evaluation of himself:
"Many netizens say you are a handsome guy. What do you think? "
" "To be honest, I don't have this understanding from the bottom of my heart. "
"Then do you think 'handsome' is a double-edged sword?"
"Well...am I so handsome? "
If the audience of "Derailment" hears this sentence, they will most likely define it as the "Versailles Speech": Come on, you are Lin Yiye!
From a superior figure of nearly 1.9 meters to being able to withstand the camera Putting his handsome features to the test, the Reuters clip of "Qilian" holding a black umbrella and walking slowly in the snow was an opportunity for many viewers to click on "Derailment". And thinking about 2021, Lin Yi casually posted a message on Douyin " The video of "Piaoxue in disguise" has received nearly 10 million likes. Among the exponentially increasing comments, the biggest keyword is - "handsome".

"Some characters are handsome, of course not superficial handsome, he has his own charm. You have to stay close to the handsome side of public perception to be worthy of this role. Lin Zhizhi said that "playing a handsome guy" must be worthy of the audience: "Playing a handsome character must have the baggage of an idol." Without this baggage, everyone would be disappointed. "
" However, after performing, Lin Yi still didn't take "being handsome" seriously: "Maybe everyone has different concepts and aesthetics of handsome, but I think handsome is just a temporary term. I hope I can become one." Another kind of 'handsome', one with charm and acting skills. "
" The reporter understood Lin Yi's subtext - "handsome" like actor Hu Ge. After all, he mentioned the name of his idol countless times during the nearly hour-long conversation. Even his entry into the industry is closely related to Hu Ge. .
"Lin Yi's entry into the industry can be called a coincidence.
"Lin Yi in parallel time and space may be a dance teacher. "
Lin Yi, who was born in 1999, has been learning dance since he was a child. He studied ballroom dance at Beijing Sport University and has been moving forward regularly on the track called "dance".
However, one year, his life plan changed." "Derailed".

"Because I have loved watching "Legend of Sword and Fairy" since I was a child. At that time, someone found me on Weibo and said that he was the agent of Tangren Film and Television. They did After watching "Fairy Sword One", "Fairy Sword Three" and "Bu Bu Jing Xin", he asked me to come to the company to meet. "
With vigilance, Lin Yi arrived at the company with his mother. He saw the posters of "Sword of Sword One" and "Sword of Sword Three" hanging on the wall. After a brief chat with the other party, he signed the contract neatly.
"It seems a bit hasty to say this, but when I saw the poster, I felt it was true. I also wanted to meet Teacher Hu Ge at that time. This was actually my motivation for entering this industry. "I signed a contract with Tang Dynasty for Hu Ge, but I didn't see him for four years after joining the company. Lin Yi couldn't help laughing: "Three years ago, I met him at the premiere of "The Party at Southern Station" and I was very happy. He is indeed handsome, and he has his own charm, which shines when he sits there, the charm of an actor. ”
“Did he say anything that particularly inspired you? "
" "To be honest, I can't remember what he told me. Because every time I look at him, I feel a little empty and can't hear the voices next to me. "
Lin Yi made no secret of his "fan mentality": "Yesterday I went to promote "Derailed", in the theater where I first met him, and by coincidence it was the lounge where we took a photo. . There were two sofas in that lounge, and I told no one to compete with me. I must sit in this seat. This is where I first met Teacher Hu Ge. "
"I think that's where dreams begin. ”
Being the protagonist of your own life
The dream seemed to start very easily.
In 2019, "The Little Time Gives Us Warmth" was broadcast, and Lin Yi quickly became popular and became a rising star that year.
"Were you confused when you suddenly became famous?"
"Do I count it as becoming popular? I think it means coming into everyone's sight, not becoming popular." Lin Yixiao said, "It's more of a novelty. To me, everything is new. It's fresh."
19-year-old Lin Yi took off his dancing shoes and stood in front of the spotlight for the first time, with curiosity about the new world in his eyes. It was like attending a large-scale masquerade party, interviewing, shooting commercials, participating in events, and going abroad to promote. Lin Yi experienced the itinerary of an "entertainer" for the first time, and he was very motivated every day. At that time, he didn't even understand the concept of "becoming popular", and he had never experienced the weirdness of the entertainment industry.
After the novelty faded, Lin Yi discovered that being an actor was not as simple as he thought. He adheres to the life experience of "hard work will pay off", but this kind of logic cannot solve all problems in the adult world, especially in the entertainment industry.

For a while, Lin Yi was confused. He fell into internal strife and felt that he couldn't do many things well and couldn't grasp the key points to break the situation: "There were times when I was very tired from filming and working, and I was under a lot of pressure. Because I didn't come from a major, and I wasn't that smart, many times I don’t know how to do better.”
Philosophers say that time can heal everything, but Lin Yi has passed the age of drinking chicken soup for the soul. Fortunately, at this time, he met his "Internet Psychiatrist" - a group of lovely short video creators.
“Don’t worry, it’s nothing.”
“You’re not lazy, you’re just too tired!”
“You don’t need to do so well, no one can do that well.”
It’s not a shame. The truth is, it was the cries of ordinary people that cured him of confusion: "They are all my psychiatrists. Everyone will think they are joking, but many of what they said changed me and inspired me from the bottom of my heart. I am really grateful to them for taking me out of some of my darkest moments."
While being cured, Lin Yi also infected others. As one of the most popular domestic entertainment actors overseas, Lin Yi's Instagram likes have reached millions, and many non-Chinese-speaking viewers even taught themselves Chinese for him. Lin Yi gratefully and solemnly accepted the love from across the ocean.

"It is a good thing that overseas audiences like me and then pay attention to domestic TV series. This can better promote Chinese culture and promote our TV series. I will continue to work hard. , to bring you better works."
Lin Yi, who has emerged from the darkest moment, feels every bit of life again, experiences different emotions and experiences, improves himself in performance, and rekindles his love and passion for life.
If your apples ripen slower than others, it means your apples are sweeter than others. Just like after the broadcast of "Derailment", Lin Yi gained recognition. His role, his performance, and even himself were all "seen" by the audience off the stage.
"I recently saw a sentence said by a blogger I like, 'You are the protagonist of your life, you can do anything'. When I heard this sentence, I wanted to cry a little. I was so entangled before, There is no point in caring about or forgetting some things."
"It is better to chase the wind than to wait for it, and to become the light instead of looking up to the light."
What Lin Yi is thinking now is: "Don't dwell on the past or the future. It's more important to think about the present and do it well in the present. It doesn't matter even if you don't do well in the present, you are you. You can do anything, you are the protagonist of your own life." "(End)
