Recently, the TV series "Flowers" has been attracting much attention, not only netizens enthusiastically support the show, but even many stars have promoted it.
What caught the eye was Liu Yifei, when Tang Yan celebrated the success of her role as "Miss Wang" on Weibo, Liu Yifei immediately ** her Weibo and called Tang Yan "the best Miss Wang". These six short words completely reveal the "real relationship" between Liu Yifei and Tang Yan.
Judging from Liu Yifei's Weibo, she deliberately posted it for Tang Yan, not to help promote "Flowers".
Unexpectedly, as soon as Liu Yifei's Weibo was released, it immediately topped the hot search list, showing the huge influence of "Sister Fairy".
Many netizens believe that Liu Yifei's praise of Tang Yan as "the best Miss Wang" can cause such a big topic, in fact, because many people unexpectedly found that the relationship between the two of them is so close.
Although they don't have much public interaction with each other, if we look closely, we can understand why they can become best friends and have maintained a friendship for 9 years, and it is no wonder that their relationship with Yang Mi is "drifting apart".
Tang Yan and Liu Yifei's friendship began in 2014, and they became good friends because they collaborated on the movie "Dew and Red Face". At that time, Tang Yan's best friend was obviously not Liu Yifei, because her friendship with Yang Mi was already deep. At that time, she was also Yang Mi's only bridesmaid. However, the friendship in the entertainment industry has gone through many tests, especially actresses of the same age and similar types of film and television dramas like Tang Yan, Yang Mi and Liu Shishi. Therefore, the girlfriend relationship between Tang Yan, Yang Mi and Liu Shishi in "The Legend of Sword and Fairy 3" may have been affected by the high degree of overlap of resources or head-on competition.
In 2015, Tang Yan starred in the TV series "Why Sheng Xiaomo", which attracted the attention of the whole network as soon as it was broadcast. She climbed to new heights in her acting career with this drama. But in the same year, the reputation of the movie version starring Yang Mi was not very good, and perhaps from this time on, the polarization of the outside world's reputation for the two of them "Zhao Mosheng" has affected the friendship between them. Who knew that their "secret competition" was not over. In the same year, the TV series "Carat Lovers", in which Tang Yan served as the female lead, was broadcast, and the second female lead in this drama was Di Lieba, who was still a newcomer at the time.
Di Lieba has been popular with everyone with "Carat Lovers", even surpassing the protagonist Tang Yan. Although the outside world once thought that this had nothing to do with Tang Yan's friend Yang Mi, Di Lieba, as Yang Mi's artist, made this seemingly unrelated event confusing. This is also interpreted by some people as the influence of the friendship between Tang Yan and Yang Mi, at least indicating that the competition between them is inevitable.
However, it was not until December 6, 2016, Tang Yan's 33rd birthday, that the outside world gradually noticed the change in the friendship between her and Yang Mi. Yang Mi still sent blessings to Tang Yan on her birthday, hoping that she could find her happiness, however, Tang Yan announced her relationship with Luo Jin on the same day. This move made Yang Mi obviously have no idea about Tang Yan's feelings, which was in stark contrast to the tacit understanding between them that they used to talk about everything.
It turns out that when Tang Yan got married, Yang Mi only posted a congratulatory text on social platforms and did not attend the wedding. At the same time, Liu Yifei expressed regret that she could not be present at the scene in person, and sent her blessings, which also reminded people of whether there had been some changes in the friendship between her and Tang Yan.
Many people are surprised by the friendship between Tang Yan and Liu Yifei for many years, but in fact, the similarities between them make people feel that this is not surprising. Although Tang Yan is considered by the outside world to be an "85 flower", she was actually born in 1983, and although Liu Yifei is not considered an "85 flower", she is 4 years younger than Tang Yan and is a real "85 flower". This may be due to the fact that the actresses who emerged at the same time as Tang Yan all happened to be "85 flowers", and Liu Yifei made her first film and television work at the age of 15 due to her early debut, which is not a coincidence.
Tang Yan and Liu Yifei are both actresses with outstanding appearances, and the biggest similarity between the two may be that they both come from good families and exude a sense of relaxation that does not fight or grab. Tang Yan is a native of Shanghai, her family is superior, her father is a public official, her mother is a senior white-collar worker, and she grew up in a loving family, and her father even taught himself to tailor and customize a unique little dress for her. In such a warm family atmosphere, Tang Yan has the freedom to pursue her dreams, although she initially wanted to become a flight attendant, but had to give up this dream when she failed the physical fitness test.
Tang Yan's acting career began with an unexpected experience. She originally failed the exam, but at the suggestion of her father, she participated in a beauty contest and eventually won the national championship. This made her begin to realize her outstanding appearance and decided to apply for art school. At the same time, Liu Yifei's growth experience is also quite dramatic. She was born in Wuhan, and like Tang Yan, she had a happy family. However, her parents divorced when she was very young, and her mother took her to live in the United States for work reasons until she finished high school.
Unlike Tang Yan, Liu Yifei aspires to become an actor because of her admiration for Audrey Hepburn. She resolutely decided to give up her life in the United States, returned to China to take Nortel's art exam, and successfully obtained an admission letter. Since then, she has frequently appeared in various film and television dramas, and has become an important role in "The Family of Gold Powder" and "Dragon Babu".
More people like Liu Yifei through the TV series "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" and the "Little Dragon Girl" she played in it. The characters she plays are usually full of fairy energy, so the outside world calls her "fairy sister".
Liu Yifei was only 15 years old when she debuted, and she should have been very happy all the way. However, her high popularity and attention have also brought her countless controversies.
Her scandals at that time can be described as bizarre, such as Song Zude actually spread rumors that she was a boy, and "godfather" Chen Jinfei once made her a topic of conversation after dinner.
Fortunately, Liu Yifei has been keeping a low profile. Except for promoting her new work, she basically didn't participate in any variety shows, which kept her away from many disputes.
As far as her acting career is concerned, she stopped filming TV series after filming "The Condor Heroes" in 2005, when she was not yet 18 years old. Therefore, "Menghualu" starring her in 2022 is regarded by the outside world as the first TV series she filmed as an adult.
Just in the more than 10 years since she left the TV circle, a number of domestic entertainment "85 flowers" have risen one after another, including Tang Yan. But Tang Yan and Liu Yifei did not compete directly, which is one of the reasons why they can maintain a friendship for 9 years.
Liu Yifei began to make a name for herself in the film industry after being away from the small screen, and she was initially involved in the filming of the Hollywood film "The King of Kung Fu", working with internationally renowned kung fu superstars Jackie Chan and Jet Li, which has attracted attention from the beginning.
Although she starred in many big-budget films and served as the female number one, these films did not perform well at the box office and had mixed word-of-mouth, but this did not affect her popularity. She is known as the irreplaceable "fairy sister", and every appearance can attract cheers from fans.
Liu Yifei collaborated with Li Xian in the TV series "To a Windy Place", creating a ratings boom and even contributing to Yunnan's tourism industry. With the hit TV series, she once again became the focus of fashion events and award ceremonies, showing her charm.
On the "2022 Weibo Night" in March 2023, people unexpectedly saw Liu Yifei in the same frame with Hu Ge, Yang Mi and Liu Shishi. However, it can be felt from their group photo that Liu Yifei does not seem to be familiar with these actors, especially with Yang Mi and Liu Shishi.
When Yang Mi and Liu Shishi came to the stage to accept the award together, they were reluctant to stand next to Liu Yifei, but fortunately, Hu Ge stood in the middle and separated them.
However, Liu Yifei has a very good relationship with Tang Yan, another star of "The Legend of Sword and Fairy 3". Since the filming of "Dew and Red Face", their friendship has continued to heat up.
Since then, they have celebrated each other's birthdays every year. In 2023, it is said that they have been like this for 9 consecutive years, which shows that after Tang Yan and Yang Mi gradually drifted apart, the relationship between her and Liu Yifei became stronger.
It is reported that"2022 Weibo Night"Tang Yan was supposed to sit next to Liu Yifei that night, but she couldn't catch up because she participated in a live event, and it is said that when she arrived, it was too late.
Tang Yan had no choice but to sit in the car and take a beautiful photo in a dress. This made the outside world worry about her future, after all, she could be late for such an important event.
In addition, since she got married and had children, she has not had a new work for 3 years, which makes her situation very similar to Liu Yifei. After Liu Yifei finished filming the live-action version of "Mulan" in 2018, there have been no new works for more than 3 years.
At that time, many people were not optimistic about her acting career, thinking that her career was like this. However, when she returned to the TV industry, she finally slapped those people in the face.
Since 2009, Tang Yan has become popular with the role of "Zixuan", and has taken over many idol dramas. However, because she always plays some "silly white sweet" roles, the audience has aesthetic fatigue with her. Due to this situation, her acting skills have been questioned, and at the same time, Liu Yifei has also experienced a similar dilemma, which is one of the reasons why they appreciate each other.
Importantly, none of them seem to be willing to join the ranks of the "85 Flowers" generation. When everyone else is busy with their careers, they dare not launch new works for 3 consecutive years. However, this does not mean that they have lost their fighting spirit. In fact, Tang Yan has been concentrating on filming "Prosperity" directed by Wong Kar-wai in the past three years.
Now, "Prosperous" has finally been broadcast, and it has been firmly in the first place in the ratings. What's more, Tang Yan's "Miss Wang" also received unanimous praise. The audience felt that Tang Yan had played a "silly white sweet" role from the beginning, but now they have seen tenacity and hard work in "Miss Wang", and gradually like this role.
There is no doubt that Tang Yan spent three years polishing the role of "Miss Wang", and she definitely made the right move. And when "Prosperous" was at its most popular, Liu Yifei also praised Tang Yan. This not only made the outside world re-examine their friendship, but also made others in the entertainment industry look at their friendship with admiration. They met again at the pinnacle of their careers!
After this incident, we deeply understood the deep friendship between Tang Yan and Liu Yifei. This also explains why Yang Mi is reluctant to get close to Liu Yifei on stage, after all, Liu Yifei is now Tang Yan's best friend.
And now it is Yang Mi who even the former "good girlfriend" Tang Yan does not dare to approach, either he must keep a person in the middle, or he can only watch from afar. This shows that the friendship in the entertainment industry is also full of many helpless and irreconcilable contradictions!
