The entertainment industry is full of metaphysics, some people can instantly become popular with a play, but there are also people who are not short of resources, but there is always a gap away from becoming popular.
There is no shortage of these celebrities who are not popular, but some of them have been semi-red because they are indifferent to fame and fortune and have a low-key personality, and some have limited abilities and poor reputation.
Let's take a look at a few actresses in the entertainment industry who are not popular, and see if there are any regrets among them?
1, Wu Yue
Although he has debuted for many years, the name Wu Yue is still a little unfamiliar to many audiences.
It wasn't until after the broadcast of "The First Half of My Life" that everyone suddenly had an impression of her.
Because of the little San Ling Ling she plays, it is really bad that makes people gnash their teeth.
Growing up in a scholarly family, she is an intellectual and generous woman in life, which is completely different from the characters in the play.
Although his appearance is not amazing, Wu Yue's temperament is outstanding, gentle and charming.
His father is a famous calligrapher and painter, and his mother is a teacher, so that Wu Yue has received a good education since he was a child, and he has performed well in both study and life.
After graduating from the acting department of Shanghai Theater Academy, Wu Yue and Zhang Fengyi starred in the TV series "Age of Peace".
With her outstanding performance in the play, she became the winner of the Golden Eagle Award for Best Supporting Actress at that time.
After that, she devoted more enthusiasm to the profession of an actor, and successively starred in many works such as "Children of the Compound" and "If Life Deceives You", and her acting skills have been unanimously recognized by the audience
But she didn't take advantage of the heat to hype herself, but has always kept a low profile.
She is indifferent to fame and fortune, and rarely meets everyone outside of acting, after all, for her, acting is the most important thing.
Wu Yue doesn't care if he is popular or not, he only cares if he can bring good characters to the audience.
At the age of 50 this year, she chose to age naturally and elegantly, showing her transparent and open-minded side to the fullest.
2, Zeng Li
The 96-level Chinese opera performance department can be described as a beautiful woman.
However, there is only one person who can have the title of school flower, and that is Zeng Li, who is recognized as a great beauty.
Qin Hailu said that she was the most beautiful girl in the class, and there were countless fans in the school, and Bao Jianfeng did not hesitate to praise her beauty, calling her the best-looking woman in the history of Chinese opera.
With such outstanding appearance conditions, Zeng Li's development in the entertainment industry should be smooth, and it is even easier to become popular.
But she "lost" at the starting line, when her classmates were taking the play, she complied with the teacher's requirements and never took the play.
This made her miss the opportunity to star in "My Father and Mother", but in the face of Zhang Ziyi's popularity, she did not have any envy and jealousy, and still walked her own way.
When she entered the showbiz, it was already a situation of "wolves in front and tigers in the back", so that she had no room to stand on her feet.
Although he has good looks and acting skills, most of the scenes Zeng Li took over could only appear as a supporting role.
She also tried to break through herself, starring in works with different themes such as "Military Honor", "Detective Tang Lang", and "The Three Kingdoms Era", but she still failed to change the tepid career situation.
But what does it matter?
After reaching middle age, Zeng Li calmly played the role of a mother, without any baggage at all, and the mid-life crisis that other actresses talked about was invisibly resolved.
Even so, her beauty still amazes everyone.
On the stage of "Sister Lang", she attracted the attention of many sisters as soon as she appeared, and even Cecilia Cheung couldn't help but praise her beauty.
Although fans feel sorry for her, she has a big heroine, but she didn't become popular.
But Zeng Li looked at this very lightly, because for her, these things have always been unimportant.
3, Wen Zhengrong
Wen Zhengrong's most impressive role since he started his career should be Gu Yiluo, the villain in the TV series "Wrong Love for a Life".
But in fact, after that, she has a lot of works, but they just don't attract much attention.
It can be said that her debut is the pinnacle, perhaps because her career is too smooth and the starting point is too high, Wen Zhengrong has set a rule for herself, that is, she will not accept the drama of the non-heroine.
Of course, there is nothing wrong with this idea, but this also invisibly made her lose a lot of filming opportunities.
And many of the dramas in which she can play the starring role have been dubbed "bad movies" for various reasons.
As the leading actor, Wen Zhengrong naturally became the backstabber, and some viewers canonized the title of "Queen of Bad Movies".
In all fairness, Wen Zhengrong's acting skills are beyond doubt.
But because she didn't know how to market and refused to hype, her acting career began to decline, as she herself said, "the audience doesn't know me anymore".
But even so, she has not given up her love for acting, and still takes her acting career seriously.
Now that she has been able to accept supporting roles, she has more opportunities to appear on camera.
As long as you have the strength, I believe that no matter what position you are in, you can shine and let everyone see your excellence.
4, Li Yitong
Li Yitong has starred in 15 big heroine works in the six years since his debut, and such an achievement is naturally the envy of his peers.
What's more, she is not from an acting class, which makes her a "resource coffee" in everyone's minds.
In 2021, Li Yitong partnered with popular male stars Xu Kai, Hu Yitian and others to bring four TV series to the audience, including costume dramas and modern dramas.
However, even so, Li Yitong is still a little short of "red".
This made many viewers scoff at her, saying that she occupied so many good resources and did not give way, so that those who are really talented have no chance to come out.
Especially when she said that she hoped that she would be more popular and have the ability to choose better scripts, it made people complain.
Although Li Yitong is not from an acting class, her acting skills are not bad among actresses of the same age.
She has not debuted for a long time, from "Half Demon Allure" to "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" to "Crane Pavilion", her acting skills have been improving.
Huang Rong played by her is quirky, playful and cute, and her play is also very good-looking.
Of course, she can also show the forbearance side of the character, and she is not a problem with a group of actors in "The Crane Pavilion".
Li Yitong's line skills are vividly displayed in "The Charmer Without Borders".
The original dubbing of her made many professional actors feel ashamed of themselves, and made the audience very comfortable to listen to.
She is a scandal insulator in the circle, and there have almost never been scandals since her debut.
Because her time and energy are spent on acting, and she can only rest for five or six hours a day, so hard work and dedication naturally make her get unanimous praise from her co-directors.
When she was questioned by netizens, Yu Zheng stood up for her as soon as possible, saying that she was a girl who knew how to be grateful and worked hard.
In order to repay Yu Zheng's kindness, she can reduce her remuneration by half, even if she is owed more than four months of salary, she has no complaints.
Today's Li Yitong has been working hard, even if she can't become popular, she will not stop moving forward.
Red should only be a matter of time for her.
5, Zhu Yuanyuan
In 1998, "The Happy Life of Poor Zhang Damin" entered thousands of households.
With the popularity of the TV series, Zhu Yuanyuan, who played the heroine, also became an instant hit and became the most popular actress of the Golden Eagle Award.
She was originally a teacher, holding an iron rice bowl, and her welfare was well respected.
But because of her love for acting, she resolutely chose to become a member of the North Drifter family and worked hard to realize her dream of being an actor.
In Beijing, she and Xin Baiqing, who is also an actor, became lovers, and then entered into marriage.
Both of them are powerful, and they have naturally been recognized and favored by many directors in the industry.
In 2008, the director of "Latent" found her and wanted Zhu Yuanyuan to play the heroine Cui Ping in the play.
Because as early as when writing the script, the director had already substituted Zhu Yuanyuan into the heroine.
It's a pity that Zhu Yuanyuan was pregnant at that time, although she was very optimistic about this work, but she still chose to give up for the sake of the child.
Someone once felt sorry for her, if she could play Cuiping at the beginning, then she must be the one who became popular, not Yao Chen.
But she has never had any regrets, because the child is her most important choice.
After becoming a mother, Zhu Yuanyuan shifted the focus of her career from the field of film and television dramas to the drama stage.
Because in this way, you can have more time to devote to the family and accompany the children to grow up.
Of course, it was followed by a decline in her popularity, but she didn't care about it.
Because a happy family is her biggest pursuit now.
It's just that gold always shines, in the movie "My Sister" a few years ago, the role of Zhu Yuanyuan's aunt has been praised by countless audiences, and they think she played very well.
With this role, she became the winner of the Golden Rooster Award for Best Supporting Actress.
Although she is not the protagonist, this award is the greatest affirmation of Zhu Yuanyuan's acting skills and inspires her to move forward.
6, Ni Hongjie
Ni Hongjie's fame originated from an underwear advertisement when she was 20 years old.
At that time, she was in her prime of life, and with her appearance and figure, she instantly became popular in the advertising circle.
But at that time, such an advertisement was naturally difficult for people to accept, not only her family was dissatisfied with her, but some viewers also complained a lot about her, which made her fall into controversy for a while.
This incident directly caused her not to want to learn acting, but she had her own arrangements in the dark, and an unexpected opportunity allowed her to get the role of Zhu Wushuang in "Wulin Gaiden".
After the popularity of this TV series, all the leading actors in the play have gained fame and fortune, and they are in full swing in the entertainment industry by taking advantage of the popularity. Only Ni Hongjie was suddenly full of confusion about her future life.
She said that her mind was no longer on acting at that time, so she said goodbye to the showbiz and became an innkeeper.
It's just that after going around for many years, she suddenly picked up her dream of being an actor again, but at that time, there was no place for her in the entertainment industry.
She began to think carefully about her career, and finally made a decision that no matter what kind of role it was, even if it was a mother-in-law, she would not refuse.
Because she really likes acting and wants to find her truest self through different roles.
For her, of course, it is best to be popular, but it doesn't matter if she can't be popular, after all, she didn't become an actor for the sake of fire.
Acting with such a relaxed and open-minded attitude, Ni Hongjie can portray every role thoroughly.
In "The Myth of Love", she played Ggrea as fashionable and beautiful, elegant and generous, which made people quite amazing.
Ni Hongjie, who is free to retract, can play the leading role or a supporting role;
You can play a fashionable and delicate woman, or you can play a mother or even a grandmother.
Such a strong plasticity is enough to prove his acting skills.
chose to open an inn during the rise of his career, and after returning to the entertainment industry, he did not refuse the role of mother-in-law.
This kind of Ni Hongjie seems to be a little different, even if she can't catch fire, she can still enjoy her own life, relaxed and happy.
7, Yan Bingyan
Yan Bingyan was not born in an acting class, she was just a pictorial girl at first, and only by chance did she have the opportunity to film.
She treats her work diligently, works hard, and is naturally suitable for acting, so she quickly emerged in the entertainment industry and has a world of her own.
In 1998, she played the role of Xiao Hong in the TV series "Red Cross Phalanx", which received unanimous praise from inside and outside the industry, which made her firm in her goal of becoming an actress.
Yan Bingyan, who has the title of Best Supporting Actress at the Golden Eagle Awards, saw that her career was about to take off, but she didn't expect that because her mother was seriously ill, she resolutely let her career press the pause charm.
Because she wanted to stay with her mother, she refused many opportunities to go to other places to film, which made her career enter the slow lane.
But her filial piety did not save her mother's life.
Because of excessive sadness, she didn't film for three years, and finally made a strong return with the role of the heroine in "Teeth of Love".
In 2012, Yan Bingyan performed well in "Ten Thousand Arrows Through the Heart".
not only has been highly recognized by Ni Ping, but also won many awards including the Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Award, and has since had the title of "Eight Movie Queens".
Because she never hype, although Yan Bingyan has the best acting skills and has won numerous awards, her popularity and fame are still not high.
Yan Bingyan will never force this, she is still the same as at the beginning, low-key and restrained, not at all public.
On another level, because there is not much heat, she can concentrate on her own business, which is naturally a harvest.
Yan Bingyan has her own principles for acting, and while constantly improving her acting skills, she will also check at all levels when taking on the play, and she will naturally not accept scripts that are not of good quality.
When she signed the agreement with the company, she said in the note that she would pick the script and not cross the play.
If the work does not meet the requirements of simultaneous recording, or if the shooting time is only one or two months, then she will refuse.
Yan Bingyan, who treats her work so seriously, is an actor who is indifferent to fame and fortune and is as indifferent as a chrysanthemum.
So since her debut, she has always been a little bit close to the fire, but what does it matter?As long as there is filming, it is enough for her.
8, Sun Yi
In the hit drama "The Legend of Miyue" that year, Sun Yi's performance among the powerful actors was quite remarkable, leaving a good impression on many audiences.
It can be said that her starting point is very high, and after that, Sun Yi starred in many works, mainly modern youth dramas.
So even if she is called Li Qin by the audience, her acting path is still different from Li Qin, who focuses on costume dramas.
However, the loudest label on her is not her identity as an actor, but Wang Jinghua's daughter-in-law and Dong Zijian's wife.
You must know that Wang Jinghua is known as "the first agent in Beijing", and her star-making ability is jaw-dropping.
The so-called building near the water gets the first month, after Sun Yi married Dong Zijian, the resources of film and television dramas have increased visibly with the naked eye.
As a resource coffee, she naturally starred in many works of the female number one.
Among them, "Liangsheng, Can We Not Be Sad", has become a classic, but there are too few works like this.
Although Sun Yi has works to meet the audience every year, Sun Yi's popularity is always not popular.
Among those numerous works, there are not many roles that she really impresses the audience, and it can be said that good resources are wasted.
Later, she also tried to participate in the filming of some variety shows, but because of her decent performance, she didn't make any splashes.
Regarding the statement that some people say that she can only have a place in the entertainment industry by relying on Wang Jinghua, Sun Yi seems quite aggrieved.
She once said in a variety show that she is actually working hard, and hopes that everyone will not always stare at her identity as "Wang Jinghua's daughter-in-law".
But it is undeniable that although Sun Yi has some acting skills in the new generation of Xiaohua, it is not outstanding.
Although the appearance is sweet and lovely, there is nothing amazing about it, so it is difficult to have a chance to stand out.
What's more, her acting path is very narrow, and most of the characters she plays are silly and sweet images of pure jade girls.
This will naturally cause aesthetic fatigue among the audience, and if her acting skills stop, then she will only be forgotten by the audience in the end.
9, Li Qin
Before Li Qin entered the showbiz, he was a Kunqu opera actor secretly cultivated by the state.
But she finally chose to change careers and became a film and television actor, otherwise she should have a great development in the opera industry now.
Because of many years of studying Kunqu Opera, Li Qin's appearance and demeanor are naturally very outstanding.
Coupled with exquisite facial features, Li Qin's development in the entertainment industry can be said to have unique conditions.
Indeed, since entering the circle, Li Qin's resources have not been bad.
From the beginning of playing Xue Baochai in "Dream of New Red Mansions", her acting career has definitely been smooth.
In "The Great Cause of the Founding of the Party", she played the role of Yang Kaihui;
In "Revolutionary Diary", as the protagonist, she has a lot of scenes, allowing the audience to see her strength in the main drama.
Since then, her acting career has been high, and her wonderful performances can be seen in big dramas such as "Celebrating More Than Years" and "The Legend of Chu Qiao". And her acting skills have also dazzled the audience.
In "The Legend of Chu Qiao", she played Yuan Chun from the initial playfulness to the later blackening, which shocked the audience.
In "The Legend of Ruyi", she turned into a fluttering cold fragrance in white, and just one look made the audience feel distressed.
But Li Qin just can't get popular, which makes the audience feel a little incredible.
In fact, the reason for this has something to do with her lack of bright looks.
Although Li Qin is beautiful, his appearance tends to be bland, giving people a cold feeling and making people feel unapproachable.
And the affinity of stars in the entertainment industry is very important.
And her acting skills are not stable enough, she has not improved much over the years, and sometimes even gives the audience a bad feeling.
Although she has played many roles of different types, she has never been able to find a position that suits her and lacks her own characteristics.
So Li Qin also fell into the embarrassing situation of not being popular.
Although she now has her own world in the entertainment industry, she is still a long way from becoming popular.
10, Lan Yingying
In "The Legend of Zhen Huan", Lan Yingying became famous in one fell swoop with the role of "Huanbi".
Although she is just a maid, because she has more scenes, she still attracts the attention of the audience.
However, after that, although Lan Yingying has filmed many works, many of them have played the leading role.
But what is strange is that when it comes to her role, there will still only be "Huanbi" in people's brains.
In "Tiger Mom and Cat Dad", she played a scheming female Huang Lingli, who is the second female number two in the play after Sun Li;
In "Surgery", the ** chief she plays is also the second female, and there are not many scenes.
In "A Tree of Peach Blossoms", she became the heroine, and it was Xu Fan and Zhang Guoli who played with her;
In "Elite Lawyer", her heroine shines brightly and is easily crushed by the second female Zhu Zhu.
Of course, Lan Yingying has acting skills, there is no doubt about this.
Looking at her performance on the stage of "The Birth of an Actor", even if she competes with the "International Chapter" on the same stage, she is not inferior, and it can even be said that her performance is even better.
However, because of her personality and appearance, Lan Yingying's fire road is full of thorns and bumps.
She has great ambitions and never hides them.
This naturally made her lose some of her affinity, and she showed competitiveness everywhere, and obviously she had no audience.
In addition, the corners of her mouth are slightly downward, giving people a feeling of bitterness, which invisibly restricts her acting path.
So there is a reason why Lan Yingying is not popular.
Among these actresses, some are indifferent to fame and fortune because of their personalities, and some are not lacking in resources, but because of many reasons such as appearance and acting skills, they cannot become popular stars, which is regrettable and embarrassing.
