Yang Zi's new drama "The Story of Cheng Huan" is coming to an end, and the current score is: 6.4 points, just passing.
Compared with last year's summer hit "Sauvignon Blanc", it is indeed less interesting, but for Yang Zi, from the audience's inherent impression of a "national daughter" and "a top-notch ancient idol" to now turning to modern-themed family dramas, It’s not easy.
Moreover, the response of this drama is much better than that of its previous romantic drama "Long Time Love".
It can be said that the 32-year-old Yang Zi spent 22 years to stage a life-changing history:
She was never favored and controversial, and now she is the star of the spotlight and a master of drama. How did she do it? Arrived?
As it is said in the aristocratic circle that "appearance is the peak", Yang Zi's life-changing destiny may have to start with her face...
The first stage: the fleshy and cute child star
Yang Zi was born at the age of 7 She made her debut in the TV series "Such a Country". Because her idol in her early years was "Little Swallow", she was fascinated by the entertainment industry at a young age.
Her parents were also very supportive of her decision, so by chance, she, who was studying vocal music and acting, started filming a TV series.
At this stage, Yang Zi does not have the temperament of a great beauty, but since every facial feature is beautiful, she is definitely good enough to play the role of a daughter.
But her face is too round, and the width of her middle face and lower face are almost the same, which makes her not outstanding in the entertainment industry.
At the age of 10, Yang Zi participated in the role of Xiao Wanru in "The Secret History of Xiaozhuang". At that time, her problem was that the width of her nose and lips were relatively uniform, which caused her face to feel cramped.
But fortunately, her lips are the popular smiling lips, which adds a sense of intimacy to her overall look. The small dimples are also a bonus, making her look full of energy.
As Yang Zi grew older, she began to take the campus route. She starred in "Girl's Diary" and "Family with Children", both of which were very popular works, especially the role of "Xia Xue" in the latter, which made her famous overnight.
Many of Yang Zi’s current partners would like to say: "I grew up watching your dramas."
Because of this, her nationality is extremely high, and she was the "national girl" who was the most out of the circle at that time. one.
At this time, Yang Zi's face was always chubby and cute, and her performance was very talented and aura, which was impressive.
But because I was born in an ordinary family with little background and resources, if I want to strike while the iron is hot or reach a higher level, it all depends on hard work and luck.
So there was a stage when Yang Zi, who was in adolescence and became less good-looking, lost all her resources overnight and was even replaced frequently - this was the case in the third and fourth films of "Family with Children".
The second stage: the girl's silent tolerance
Yang Zi's appearance began to change, starting with "Happiness Knocks on the Door" in 2011.
When this drama was filmed, she was 19 years old and had just been admitted to Beijing Film Academy.
At this time, Yang Zi lost the baby fat on her face, her facial lines became clearer as a whole, and her contours became more obvious, but the unevenness of her face was exposed.
However, it also improved the shortcomings of her previous facial features being too wide, which resulted in her overall facial features being cramped.
Yang Zi, who has confirmed her career as a professional actor, is also beginning to actively transform.
In 2012, she was no longer the "national daughter" in the impression. Instead, she played the role of nurse Zhang Xiaolei in the medical drama "The Art of Mind" and fell in love with the actor in the drama.
's acting skills are slowly improving as she accumulates them.
Two years later, she encountered "War in Changsha" which received quite impressive ratings - in this work, Hu Xiangxiang, played by Yang Zi, grew up from a bad character to a determined one, interpreting the transformation of a lady in the flames of war.
Looking back now, this character seems to foreshadow her own mental journey:
went from being ignorant of the general environment at the beginning, to being sober, tenacious, and not giving up after being hit, and finally transformed through hard work and transformed into a butterfly with her original intention.
However, Yang Zi’s appearance at that time was indeed not as refined as it is today. She was very thin, so her cheeks were more sunken, causing her cheekbones to become more prominent.
But appearance is not the only criterion for measuring an excellent actor. She interpreted the unique Hu Xiangxiang with exquisite and delicate acting skills, which is still unforgettable.
Yang Zi's first appearance peak should be the role of Wu Ruoyun, a kind-hearted young lady from a big family, in the hit Republic of China drama "Yangko" the following year.
In addition to the good character design, Yang Zi's face has already shown the initial clues of the "female eighteenth transformation".
What’s even more rare is that among the stereotyped internet celebrity faces, her naturalness is very rare.
But unfortunately, despite holding many classic works, Yang Zi, who has always been labeled as "not pretty enough" by the outside world, is still not popular at this stage and can only be regarded as a second-tier actor.
This must be related to her commercial value. She herself also realized this, so she began to transform again - you can say that she has ambitions, or you can say that she has pursuits.
In short, Yang Zi's "change of destiny" is about to begin.
The third stage: the embarrassing transformation of transformation
Since 2015, it has been rumored that Yang Zi secretly had a dope face after "Battle in Changsha", so her facial lines in "The Great Yangge" are smoother and softer.
But in 2016's "Qing Yun Zhi", her face did appear to be very swollen, and her nose was pointed and straight, which made her feel uncomfortable when she went to work before her face recovered after having a do-do.
However, despite all the controversies, what the audience saw is:
Yang Zi has indeed stepped into the door of traffic, reaching the peak of commercial value. In "Ode to Joy" broadcast by
in the same year, Yang Zi is still not the leading heroine, but her presence is not low.
The character Qiu Yingying she played was not good either, but the audience saw her plasticity and acting skills.
Regarding Yang Zi’s do-face, some knowledgeable people have revealed the secret: “If you want to shoot ancient dolls, you have to be beautiful. Without this foundation, you won’t be able to go far.”
In 2018, the movie "Sweet Honey" completely made Yang Zi into a first-line actress. Star, which alleviates the embarrassing situation of the "85 flowers" and the 90-year-old flower gap.
What’s even more rare is that her acting skills are really good. Even if she performs without real objects, she will make the audience empathize instantly - this is a gift from God, and jealousy cannot come.
So no matter whether Yang Zi is embarrassed or not, her success cannot be copied.
The fourth stage: Hardware conditions for traffic
After entering the world of traffic, Yang Zi was not limited to the world of ancient puppets, so the following year she produced the modern puppet drama "Dear, Beloved".
At the same time, she began to enter the big screen. The movie "Heroes of Fire" not only won the actor Huang Xiaoming the best actor award, but also allowed more professionals to see Yang Zi's performance on the big screen.
Her face supports the shaping of the character, and she truly achieves the gorgeous turn.
After that, Yang Zi still followed the old path of her predecessors when taking up roles:
85 In the ancient doll market that the flowers still firmly occupied, she also easily took a share of the pie.
The broadcast of popular dramas such as "Agarwood" and "Sauvignon Blanc" have confirmed its superiority in this track.
But the controversy is still there:
Some people think that she is a good candidate for serious dramas such as "Battle of Changsha", but she has been immersed in fast-food ancient idols and cannot extricate herself.
However, in fact, from the moment Yang Zi began to pursue commercial value, he took the initiative and could not avoid being exposed to similar projects - this is a unique "curve to save the country" thinking, and today's "serious drama niche" Zhang Wanyi is also Take the same route.
Some people think that she is obviously not beautiful, but she still has to act as a "stunning beauty" in ancient dolls. However, many people who are obsessed with it forget that beauty is inherently diverse.
And for actors to present a work or a role, beauty alone is not enough.
Yang Zi's professionalism and dedication are obvious to all. To borrow a sentence from Hao Lei: "Acting skills can't be taken away by others."
There is no doubt that Yang Zi has gone from not popular to popular, from beautiful to famous. The beauty required to be "top-notch" also reflects the ups and downs of one's career.
In order to cater to the mainstream "little flower" aesthetic, Yang Zi constantly tried to change, and at the same time tried her best to get rid of the label that she could not act as a beauty, so she became what she is now.
In the popular "Cheng Huan Ji", Yang Zi's beauty is already quite "standard".
This is the best result of her many years of hard work. It is also an inspirational story of an ordinary girl pursuing her dream. Maybe different people have different views on this, so the controversy is still there.
But for Yang Zi and her fans, enough is enough.
