The story begins in 1976. This year, Zhao Yi was born in a Peking Opera family and has been strongly influenced by drama since he was a child. His father was a famous actor at the Peking Opera Company in Beijing, and his grandfather worked with Peking Opera master Mei Lanfang. Perhaps due to the family history and congenital conditions, Zhao Yi began to learn Peking Opera performance at the age of 5 and was known for his martial arts. 
As an adult, Zhao Yi was successfully admitted to the China Academy of Drama for further study, but he found that many of his classmates chose to drop out of school in the pain of training. Zhao Yi, who insisted on completing his studies, thought that he would have a bright future, but he was disappointed after joining the China Peking Opera Company. At that time, the Peking Opera market was sluggish, and the wonderful stage performances could not be exchanged for the favor of the audience, which made Zhao Yi confused and lost. In the mid-90s, Zhao Yi decided to give up his job at the Peking Opera Company and turned to the film and television industry to find his own world. However, the competition in the film and television industry is more fierce and cruel. 
In those bitter days and nights, Zhao Yi had to run around to peddle himself, just to get a little opportunity to perform; He also played a role in a body with pain, just to get a little more pay. Until 2000, "Mansion Gate" opened the door for Zhao Yi, who had been struggling in the film and television industry for 6 years. Bai Jingqi, the role that worried him, was an opportunity he shed tears in front of Director Guo. When the high ratings and influence of "Mansion Gate" gradually opened up its popularity, Zhao Yi could no longer hold back his tears. The arduous process of years of struggle in the film and television industry seems to be sublimated at this moment. 
After the popularity of "Mansion Gate", 36-year-old Zhao Yi ushered in the spring of his acting career. Since 2002, he no longer has to run around looking for opportunities, and many wonderful characters and opportunities have taken the initiative to beat his door. In one film and television drama after another, Zhao Yi was gradually promoted from a supporting role to a leading student, and he conquered the producers and audiences with his stable and outstanding performance. 
However, just when his career was in full swing, Zhao Yi in private was experiencing silent torture. In order to buy a property of his own in Beijing, he had to take on a heavy mortgage. This money not only involves the concerns of his family, but also makes Zhao Yi lose a respite in the competition in the film and television industry. To make matters worse, the sequelae of years of Peking Opera training have rebounded. In those temporary crews with shabby costumes, Zhao Yi had to work intensively with fractures and old injuries. He gritted his teeth and endured heart-rending pain, and then let his character's emotions unleash in front of the camera. 
Just when Zhao Yi was powerless and decided to give up returning the house, a friend sent timely rain. The 600,000 yuan not only helped him solve his urgent need, but also gave him the courage to continue to fight. So, in the next 5 years, Zhao Yi, who was physically and mentally exhausted, would still grit his teeth and turn over to the battlefield as soon as he received a notice. It wasn't until all the debts were paid off that he unloaded the burden on his body, and the tears contained a more memorable story than "The Gate of the Mansion". In today's entertainment industry, it is rare for film and television actors to continue to output their works for 20 years. And Zhao Yi, who was 48 years old at the time, not only fought in the film and television industry for more than 20 years, but also performed in each of his works as unforgettable as Bai Jingqi in "Mansion Gate". 
Maybe many people are not familiar with the name Zhao Yi, but the fact that he has participated in more than 90 film and television dramas is amazing. Even in the three years when the new crown epidemic was raging, Zhao Yi did not slow down the pace of performance, and continued to output more than 10 screen works with stable and dazzling performances. It can be said that he is already a model representative of the power of the Mesozoic generation in the current film and television industry. Of course, the more than 20 years of acting has not been smooth sailing. Zhao Yi, who has returned in a hurry several times, has also experienced the saliva insults of careerists, and he has also experienced the taste of having no choice but to quit due to injury. 
But looking at it, the young man who cried for a drama in the past has now transformed into a film and television powerhouse with mature acting skills and outstanding achievements. He uses his persistence to interpret the countless possibilities of this circle. Many people may ask: Why has an actor like Zhao Yi not become popular? In fact, the answer lies only in his low profile. We often hear famous sayings like "Gorgeous and disguised, but fragrant", and facing the camera, Zhao Yi shows this kind of calm and calm that perfectly integrates acting skills and life. 
I believe that one day in the future, the public will finally be moved by such an actor. In this era of rampant materialism and celebrities everywhere, who else will remember the stories of silent struggle in the entertainment industry? In fact, what is really worth remembering is the footprints they left with sweat and tears. 
Zhao Yi, who has been active in the film and television industry for more than 20 years, whether it is the bumpy struggle at the time of his debut, or the responsibility after the peak of his career, or the acting ideals that he still adheres to today, are all interpreting the most shining part of this circle. I believe that one day in the future, when the public looks back at these stories, they will be moved by what an actor like Zhao Yi did. February** Dynamic Incentive Program
