Li Yitong, a little girl born in Jinan, Shandong Province, was born into an ordinary family of workers, and both parents worked in a small factory. However, this little girl has an extraordinary dream - to become a good dancer. Because of the ordinary environment at home, Li Yitong has been eager to change his fate through his own efforts since he was a child. She is particularly fond of dancing and often imitates dances on TV shows. Although the family conditions are average, the parents still do their best to support their daughter's interests and hobbies, and their love and dedication are seen by the daughter. When Li Yitong was 10 years old, a teacher at a dance training institution discovered her talent, and she was given the opportunity to enroll. There, she threw herself into her studies and perfected her dancing skills. 
Li Yitong was highly praised by her teachers and classmates, and everyone thought that she was talented and would definitely become an excellent dancer in the future, which gave her great encouragement. When Li Yitong graduated from high school, he was determined to realize his dream and decided to apply for the Beijing Dance Academy. The school is second to none in the field of dance education in China, and it is not easy to be successfully admitted. In the unfamiliar city of Beijing, she had to start over. However, she studied diligently and improved her dancing skills rapidly, which was recognized by her teachers and classmates, which gave her the confidence to continue to pursue her dreams. The four years of college passed quickly, and Li Yitong's grades were very good, and she won the individual award of the college dance competition for several consecutive years. During this time, she began to try to participate in some talent shows in the hope of becoming an actress. 
Life in Beijing is fast-paced, and you need to work hard for everything. Li Yitong participated in many drafts, expecting to get attention, but in the end they all ended in failure. However, she didn't give up on her dreams easily. Li Yitong won the favor of the director with his excellent appearance and outstanding performance in the recording of an emotional variety show, and successfully became one of the female guests. Although this is Li Yitong's first appearance in a large-scale show, only appearing for a few seconds, she is still excited. Through this recording, Li Yitong came into contact with a producer who was preparing to shoot a low-budget micro-film, so he invited her to audition. Although Li Yitong was not familiar with the film and television industry at that time, his audition performance was a little flat, and he only won a role. 
For a newcomer to the industry, it is very precious to be able to get the opportunity to perform, and she is not discouraged by this. The first scene was filmed in a dilapidated factory, and Li Yitong put on the costume for the first time and followed the director to stand behind the camera. Although she basically doesn't have a role, she is still very involved, for fear of being distracted. When she returned home that night, she happily shared her experience of performing for the first time with her parents. When filming continued the next day, Li Yitong saw an actress in the team from a distance, and when she got closer, it turned out to be her idol - Zhao Liying! It turned out that there was a scene in this micro-film that required her and Zhao Liying to cooperate. 
Li Yitong was so excited that her limbs were weak, and she finally saw the star she admired the most. During the filming, Li Yitong asked Zhao Liying many questions about acting. Zhao Liying also admired her positive attitude, and offered to be Li Yitong's exclusive stand-in, and trained together in their spare time. Being a stand-in also requires strong acting skills. By Zhao Liying's side, Li Yitong learned a lot of professional knowledge and accumulated rich performance experience. Gradually, she realized that she still had a long way to go to achieve her dream of becoming a good actress just as a stand-in. So, she began to actively look for other performance opportunities. 
In 2015, Li Yitong participated in the interview held by the agency, stood out from thousands of contestants, and successfully won the opportunity to play the heroine in the TV series "Half Demon Allure"! For a newcomer who has just started his acting career, it is undoubtedly a great honor to play the heroine directly. During the filming, Li Yitong worked hard, hoping to impress the audience with his superb acting skills. However, the response to this TV series after its broadcast was mediocre and failed to attract much attention. But Li Yitong, with his outstanding potential, has attracted the attention of Feibao Media. Under the strong recommendation of Feibao Media, Li Yitong successfully took over the role of Huang Rong, an important heroine in the new drama "The Legend of the Condor Heroes". This time, she is going to challenge a popular classic character, and the pressure is not small. In order to be fully prepared, Li Yitong referred to multiple versions of the description, and she worked hard to think about various aspects such as character character, line expression, and action details. 
She finally interpreted the role in a new style, which received many praises, thus opening the path of a first-line actress for herself. After years of accumulation, Li Yitong's acting skills have reached the point of perfection. She has tried a variety of themes such as costume dramas, period dramas, and urban dramas, from goddesses to urban white-collar workers, both elegant and noble princesses, and hearty and generous strong women, showing a full range of role switching capabilities. She can cooperate with all kinds of actors, whether the other party is a powerful person or a little fresh meat, she can be like a fish in water in cooperation. The audience and professionals alike gave high praise to Li Yitong's performance in "Hurricane". In the play, she once again challenged a complex and multi-dimensional role - the heroine Meng Yu. 
This is a gentle, intellectual, tenacious and independent successful woman, Li Yitong has spent a lot of time and energy to understand and construct the rich inner world of this character. Through this role, she hopes to show the independence and self-confidence of the female group. However, what Li Yitong didn't expect was that her excellent performance this time did not greatly boost her popularity. Some commentators believe that this is because the heroine Meng Yu's role in the advancement of the plot is not prominent, so that the audience is not too impressed by this role. After experiencing reflection, Li Yitong gradually realized that the secret of his popularity is not all about acting skills. As an actress, her role choices are crucial. Despite her excellent performance in the new drama, she can't change the limitations of the character itself. 
I need a discerning eye to pick out the scripts and characters that really work for me. Li Yitong decided that from now on, when choosing a job, he should not only consider the character's personality and image fit, but also fully evaluate the position and role of this character in the work, as well as the contribution to the development of the plot. Only in this way can the audience be impressed by the characters I play, and the characters I play can be truly plump and three-dimensional. At the same time, she is well aware that excellent acting skills alone will not attract more audiences. In this era of information overflow, there is also a need to think about how to get the attention of the audience. In addition to choosing topical scripts, you also need to actively promote and interact with each other, enrich the attributes of the characters, and increase the degree of popularity. In the variety show, Li Yitong heard the star say that "there is no best actor, only the most suitable role", and she finally understood the truth. 
I believe that with my intelligence and love for acting, there will be better works.
