At the end of January, actress Yang Ying, who had been banned for three months, was finally unblocked. The outside world also regarded this news as a signal that she was about to come back.
Indeed, after her account was unbanned, she began to act frequently, posting short New Year greeting videos and selfies.
At the same time, Yang Ying also began to appear in some overseas events: Dubai and London took turns, and was nicknamed the "continental carpet star" by the outside world.
Although there are rumors that she will make a full comeback in domestic entertainment in March, do the public still have so much expectations for Yang Ying's suspected return?
Looking at her step by step transformation from a "young model" to a "national goddess" and now in dire straits, who should be blamed for all this?
1. The controversial "originator of young models"
Since 2009, when she stood beside Huang Xiaoming as the "scandalous girlfriend", Yang Ying's controversy has never stopped.
Before that, her popularity among the public was not good, and she was even publicly boycotted by the people of Hong Kong because of her status as a "young model."
There is no doubt that she has been following a bloody road since her debut. Even though she encountered an opportunity to "change her fate against the will of heaven" along the way, she destroyed it herself.
Yang Ying’s growth experience does not need to be described in detail:
She is a mixed-race child born in Shanghai. Her grandfather is a German-Indian, so she was left with a doll-like beauty.
When she was 13 years old, she went to live in Hong Kong with her working parents. It is rumored that after entering school, she fell in love with a rich second generation. The following year, she entered the talent bang model company and started working as a "young model".
Therefore, Yang Ying met the famous agent Zhou Gensheng, and was immediately arranged to wear braces, lose weight, and have a suspected douche. She teamed up with Janice Man to develop, and both became the "originators of young models."
During her time, she fell in love with William Chan, and later had a scandal with Jay Chou.
However, at that time, Hong Kong people were dissatisfied with the popularity of "young models" and believed that it was corrupting the trend. Since then, the young model industry has begun to decline.
In desperation, Yang Ying was sent to Japan by her agent to develop, and she also became Namie Amuro's junior sister.
However, there were frequent rumors of cheating on people in nightclubs, etc. His development was hindered, so he had no choice but to return to China.
Not long after, she accidentally met Huang Xiaoming, the "first brother of Huayi", while filming Huang Baiming's movie.
The man had been secretly in love with Li Feier for more than two years at that time, but they never made it public.
After getting to know Yang Ying, their relationship between boyfriend and girlfriend ended quickly - Li Fei'er was not a good person either. She even exposed negative information about Yang Ying in front of the Hong Kong media, calling her a "third party".
Despite this, she soon participated in the filming of Huang Xiaoming's music video "Can't Stand It", and was photographed visiting him. It is even said that she wore a sailor suit to celebrate his birthday.
After that, Yang Ying's resources were incredible, and she established a 4 million studio in Huayi. Without any outstanding works, she was known as the "Four Little Actresses" together with Yang Mi, Liu Shishi, and Ni Ni.
What’s even more outrageous is that she won this label with a high score of 70 points, absolutely crushing the other three.
By 2014, Yang Ying's career and life began to blossom. On the day of
's 25th birthday, Huang Xiaoming presented her with a million-dollar sports car in a high-profile official announcement. Half a year later, she joined "Running Man" and became the only female MC of this show, comparable to the "group favorite".
At the same time, Yang Ying has also become a frequent guest on the big screen, starring in works such as "Murder in Time" and "Little Love: Getting Better". Although the response was not good, the popularity is not low. It is precisely because of this popularity that
's commercial value has soared.
Just looking back now, it was the starting point for her to reach the peak, but no one thought that this peak would not last long.
2. From peak to trough, never calm
In 2015, Yang Ying became "Mrs. Huang". On the day of her wedding, half of the stars in the entertainment industry came, and it even caused a traffic jam near the Shanghai Exhibition Center.
What is little known is that this year, her income soared:
ranked 12th on the Forbes Chinese Celebrity List that year, only 7 places behind Huang Xiaoming.
Because Yang Ying became the Best Supporting Actress at the "Hundred Flowers Award" this year - in addition to "The Secret of the Dragon", she also successively produced "Legend of the Gods", "The Ferryman", "Bride Wars", and The heroine drama "The Song of Romance in the Clouds".
Faced with being treated like a star, she declared in a high-profile manner that her journey was not as smooth as she imagined, because "if it had been smooth, I would have won all the awards."
As soon as she turned around, Yang Ying once again said about her astronomical salary of 80 million yuan: "I am worth this price!"
The so-called "popularity nourishes people", although the outside world has these "honey confidence" in her There was quite a bit of criticism, but it still couldn't stop the smooth sailing ahead.
In 2016, Yang Ying signed a contract with the United Artists Agency and ranked second in the top 100 celebrity commercial value list selected by China Business Weekly.
However, the backlash seems to be coming soon.
In the same year, she starred in the costume drama "Lonely Love", which was angrily criticized by netizens: "It's a drama about cutouts!"
Subsequently, the drama was exposed and a lot of scenes were shot alone in the studio with a green screen, and then cut out. Composite with other actors.
Although the chief producer later wrote a letter in response to the above "problem", saying that the cutting-out technology is very common, and that the cutting-out of the river scene was to protect the actors.
However, the public was outraged by Yang Ying's actions. Even the popular actor Chung Han-liang was implicated, and his career has been in decline ever since.
However, Yang Ying did not reflect on her professional skills. Instead, she produced "Entrepreneurship Era" with countless flaws, which was ridiculed as a negative teaching material for "female bosses".
After that, she released one work and another, and even her once-proud status as the "group favorite" of variety shows was in jeopardy.
In 2017, the new season of "Running Man" was launched. Yang Ying, who was recuperating after giving birth, was unable to participate in the recording, and the program team immediately gave her position to Dilraba.
may have realized the crisis. She returned quickly two months later, but failed to save her traffic and topics.
After that, "Running Man" welcomed new blood such as Song Yuqi and Bai Lu, and Yang Ying's "highlight" was gradually annihilated.
She couldn't even keep her C position, and was "slapped in the face" by newcomers while playing games. Although she was on a wave of hot searches, her situation was not good.
What’s even more outrageous is that the official website of “Running Man” even misspells her name.
This shows that in the entertainment industry that worships the superior and suppresses the inferior, Yang Ying's decline is inevitable.
The house leaked and it rained all night.
In the same year, Yang Ying, whose film and television resources were visibly declining, finally partnered with Wu Moubo to star in the emotional drama "City of Desire".
happened to catch up with the man's "house collapse". As a result, even though the work was renamed "Longing for Life", it has not been broadcast yet.
In 2019, it was the year when rumors of Yang Ying and Huang Xiaoming’s marriage were on the rocks were most popular:
The two had attended an event together, but their relationship was no longer as sweet as before, especially when the man diligently arranged her skirt, and Yang Ying even looked at her Neither rewarded the other party.
This move directly led to various public speculations about the marriage of the two, and many people also called her a "white-eyed wolf who burns bridges."
Indeed, at that stage, Yang Ying was on the hot search for her suspense drama "Skyscraper". Although she was praised for her empathy in the crying scene, she was also criticized by netizens for "the smiling lips are too dramatic!"
And Huang Xiaoming His career is at an obscure stage - he was in crisis due to problems with his endorsement ads, and was labeled "greasy", almost "falling off the line".
3. Comeback or not, the future is worrying
It was also from this stage that Yang Ying worked hard to create her own new persona: an independent woman.
She made a high-profile statement in "A Strange Life": "I have never relied on anyone."
As soon as he said this, he encountered another wave of complaints.
At the same stage, Yang Ying was reported to have a "cliff decline" in resources.
Indeed, in the blockbuster "Captain of China", she only had a 5-minute scene, and then in "Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow", her co-star was "muddled" to the 18th line.
In the TV drama market, Yang Ying has successively taken on roles such as "The Way Love Should Look Like", "In Search of Shadows", "Lovesickness", etc., but her partners are all "little celebrities" compared to her.
What’s even more exaggerated is that the original “Man Shadow” starring Wang Anyu was just an online drama with low configuration, but Yang Ying was kicked off the table in the film list announced by the platform, and she was reduced from the starring role. For "Friendly Appearance".
No wonder fans are condemning it. After all, when the show was officially announced at the end of 2021, Yang Ying was still the heroine, and judging from the plot, she should be the "big female lead."
But when it came to promotions before the broadcast, she actually became a "friendly star", which is incredible.
Although "Twilight Appointment", another collaboration with Ren Jialun, was quietly released after it aired, Yang Ying's fans once again competed with each other's fans over their position.
finally officially came forward to claim: Ren Jialun was slightly better and succeeded in winning the ranking.
Currently, "Lovesickness" starring Song Weilong and "Man Shadow" have not yet been aired. As for whether the two works can be aired, the success of Yang Ying's comeback in March is the key.
However, even if both dramas are aired, will there still be viewers willing to pay for her performance?
remains to be seen.
Variety shows also stretch her hips. In addition to being slapped in the face by "junior" Song Yuqi in "Running Man" mentioned above, Yang Ying has also been marginalized in other variety shows. When
was recording "Heartbeat Signal", because Guo Qilin said: "You were not so popular ten years ago", she immediately retorted: "I was very popular ten years ago" and was angered by netizens.
At the same time, viewers also discovered that in this show, Yang Ying has already become a "marginal figure". She also has to hand out fruits to newcomer Li Xueqin and others, and is even arranged to sit at the very edge by the show crew, with only half of her face exposed.
In addition, the resources in the fashion circle that she has always attached great importance to seem to be crumbling.
In addition to not having time to attend the red carpet in 2019, she took photos in advance at the hotel and let herself enter the red carpet on the "cloud red carpet", which was ridiculed as "too scheming". Yang Ying, who has always been called "Dior's daughter", In fact, it is also in dire straits.
She got the status of Dior China brand ambassador in 2017, but in the following years, "newcomers" such as Zhao Liying, Yang Caiyu, Jing Tian, Wang Ziwen, Zhang Xueying, etc. appeared more and more, which was dizzying.
What’s more, last year, it was frequently reported that Yang Ying’s fashion resources had been seized and divided up by actresses such as Yang Mi and Dilmurat Dilraba.
She was also on the hot search list because she was suspected of wearing fake high-end clothing, which led to netizens commenting: "What a pity for the former 'Queen of High-end Couture'!"
Some people analyzed that maybe it is because of her work in the film and television, variety show and fashion circles. The embarrassing situation made Yang Ying appear at the Crazy Horse Show Lisa, hoping to get acquainted with new capital and win back the situation.
But as soon as this incident came out, Yang Ying's new show "I heard it tastes delicious" was immediately "cut off", and the recording of "Running Man Special Season" was also absent.
Especially her social platform was banned for 3 months, which was also regarded as a sign of being "blocked" by the outside world.
Until now, there are rumors that she will make a full comeback, but the specific situation has not yet been determined.
However, Yang Ying has been testing the waters for her comeback and has frequently appeared in events in various countries. However, many netizens pointed out that her status is worrying.
What is even more interesting is the CCTV movie channel, which immediately broadcast the movie "Tai Chi: Starting from Zero" starring her after her "accident".
I wonder if the always arrogant "Sixth Princess" has to "start from scratch" under the connotation of Yang Ying?
