Yesterday, under the spotlight of the Golden Rooster Awards, a name set off a nationwide frenzy - Yi Yangqianxi. --
"The youngest Best Actor at the Golden Rooster Awards has been born!"
From being ridiculed to winning the award, the 24-year-old Yi Yangqianxi's four nominations finally paid off with a successful win.
He spent 10 years shedding the label of being a "flowery actor".
When the Oscar of China - the Golden Rooster Award for Best Actor - fell on his head, the social media was filled with an almost unanimous "it was well-deserved".
- There was no doubt, only blessings;
- no surprises, only a sense of relief and excitement of "finally getting you".
This rare consensus, in the current media landscape, can be regarded as a miracle.
And the anchor point of this consensus is firmly tied to the movie "The Tiny Little Me" in which he starred.
Its light is not dazzling, but it is sufficient to shine into the folds of every ordinary person's life, allowing us to see our tears and pain, struggles and perseverance.
From his "The Tiny Little Me", we can glimpse our "big life".
"The Tiny Little Me", in which Yi Yangqianxi plays a cerebral palsy teenager, uses his body movements, with a hunched posture and curled fingers, to vividly depict the hardships of a mentally disabled teenager's life.
It makes us feel heart-wrenching and brings tears to our eyes.
He is not acting; it seems as if he is that cerebral palsy teenager, allowing us to truly feel the figure of a disabled person struggling to survive in the urban nook.
We see:
- The moment when, overwhelmed by the burden of life and unable to breathe, yet still at the door of the convenience store late at night, one buys a candy for oneself;
- The eyes are red, tears are swirling but stubbornly refuse to fall, the silent swallowing of all grievances, resentment and exhaustion.
He shows us： Oh， that "me" who rolls in the mire of life， in a mess but with a burning heart,is him,and it's also me.
We shed tears for the character， but haven't we also been shedding tears for ourselves?
- Dreams are eroded by reality.
- Tiredness, dare not admit it.
- Disappointment, dare not express it.
- Desire to change, but no chance to do so.
- Clearly want to persist, but often feel unable to hold on.
He made "performance" lose its luster and turned it into the most sincere life experience.
From "Top Trending Idol" to "Golden Rooster Best Actor": A Realistic Version of the "Resilience" Textbook
Yiyang Qianxi's acting skills don't involve loud crying or shouting, yet they can make the audience's eyes ache.
Without any pretense, it still allows people to see the raw pain in the character's heart.
He used to be the quietest and least noticeable younger brother in the popular idol group, surrounded by a huge amount of popularity.
However, he didn't get lost in the hustle and bustle; instead, he chose a more difficult and more solid path.
From the more than a dozen films and TV series he has starred in, he almost always entered each role with a "seclusion" attitude.
We heard that he learned new skills for the characters, experienced life, and even entered the National Theatre of Opera during his peak career to refine his acting skills...
What he did was never to maintain popularity, but to accumulate energy.
With his own growth story, he fiercely responded to the fickleness of this era:
The true "top star" is not the regular guest on the hot search list, but the guarantee of the works;
not the temporary noise, but the continuous "accumulation". .
From an idol to a leading actor, this path, he walked silently, but each step was resounding.
The recognition from the Golden Rooster Award represents a return of scarce value.
In this era that pursues "instant success" and "overnight fame", we have witnessed too many fleeting phenomena.
Our nerves have been stimulated by various quick-fix theories and shortcuts, making us increasingly anxious and lacking patience.
We have also witnessed people in life resorting to all kinds of means to gain popularity, disclose private information, share family affairs, exaggerate, and use all kinds of tricks to perform, making people feel that the world is becoming increasingly devoid of trust.
Deep down in our hearts, we all long for a sense of certainty:
- the certainty that being down-to-earth is useful,
- that accumulating wealth gradually is worthwhile,
- and that the rules of this world still reward those who truly work hard.
And Xi Yang Qianxi's coronation has precisely at the right time given us this certainty.
The Golden Rooster Award bestowed the Best Actor honor upon him, not only affirming the peak of a young actor's acting skills, but also publicly praising a down-to-earth and resilient value system.
It seems to be declaring to everyone: Look, in this era, ultimately, the world will still generously reward those who "work silently".
Whether it's the painstaking efforts of a decade in the field of research, or the meticulous disputes in the hands of artisans, or the daily routine of each of us on ordinary jobs, all of these require this kind of "staying at the cold bench for ten years" of determination and tenacity.
This is the quality that we long to pursue and desire to possess in our hearts, and Yi Yang Qianxi has made us feel this.
Conclusion:
So, when we are so excited about Yi Yangqianxi and deeply moved by "The Tiny Little Me", what exactly are we really feeling?
We often lament about the difficulties of life, the heavy pressure, and the lack of motivation. In fact, what we truly lack is not ability, but that little "energy" to keep going.
That kind of power is found in the characters in the movies, and it is also within us in life.
We need this spiritual strength to support us.
This world may lack this spirit, but precisely because of its absence, it becomes even more precious and worthy of our pursuit.
Perhaps we are all just "The Tiny Little Me". in life, but every kind of "perseverance", "not giving up", and "keep trying tomorrow" has its own value and deserves to be seen.
