Reversal of reputation

If you want to talk about who is the most glorious star in the entertainment industry in 2025, you must have a place for Yang Mi.

Yang Mi didn't have many big works in the first half of the year, but she has had many fashion events and variety shows.

Yang Mi suddenly began to exert her strength in the second half of the year.

Two consecutive movies "Sauce Garden" and "Lychees in Chang'an" were released.

Although Yang Mi doesn't have many scenes in the two films, she unexpectedly became the focus of the audience's attention.

Yang Mi plays "Wang Xumei" in "Sauce Garden" with a cold and hard appearance, but a soft heart. In the end, her role even touched many audiences.

She plays Zheng Yuting in "Lychees in Chang'an", a kind and strong wife, who will support her husband's decision, but she will also feel sad and cry when her husband leaves. She is afraid that her husband will see it, so she can only endure the tears.

Many audience commented that at first, they thought Yang Mi was here to "gilded", and maybe they would even get out of the show, but after watching her performance, they realized that her acting skills had improved so much.

What really makes netizens recognize Yang Mi's acting skills is her role as Ning Xiuxiu in "Born All Things".

The Ning Xiuxiu she played makes people believe that she was a rural person of that era, whether it was her skills in learning farm work after going deep into the countryside, or she chose to learn the accent by herself without dubbing.

Her last elderly makeup has also become popular across the Internet. Many people think that Yang Mi is very dedicated and able to endure hardships.

And Yang Mi's crying scene in "Born All Things".

Although there are always people who compare Xing Fei and Qin Hailu's acting skills with Yang Mi.

Especially in the episode where Su Su and Fei Zuo died, many viewers said that Qin Hailu and Xing Fei's acting skills were very explosive and very immersive.

But who started crying when Ning Xiuxiu hysterically shouted "Susu"?

Yang Mi's crying scene is really immersive, and her acting skills are no longer idol drama-like acting skills.

So when I saw "Born All Things" held a seminar, it was actually an unexpected thing.

Yang Mi sat there as the protagonist, every sentence is reasonable and confident, and her aura makes people unable to see her eyes at all.

Yang Mi was really charming at this time. As expected, only female stars with strength and works will make people convinced.

The "See you in 2024" that Yang Mi said at the end of 2023, but she did not expect it to be realized in 2025.

Zhao Liying, who shined in 2024, was "disappointed" in 2025.

Zhao Liying's TV series and movies bloom in 2024.

She won the Golden Eagle Award for Best Actress for "The Wind Blowing in the Pinellia Summer" and the Golden Rooster Award for Best Supporting Actress for "The Twenty".

In 2024, her film resources increased significantly, and she broadcasted three works: "Let's Walk with the Phoenix", "The Road to the Fire" and "Qiao Yan's Thoughts".

Her superb acting skills amazed the audience.

At that time, many netizens said that Zhao Liying was the real "transformation success".

However, Zhao Liying can't actually be considered a transformation at all, she should be considered to be able to control any acting.

So her works of all kinds are very popular.

But in 2025, Zhao Liying seems to be "no longer in glory".

A TV series "In the World" and a movie "Sauce Garden".

One of them is the starring actor, but it did not cause much splash.

A supporting role with few roles in it, but her acting skills have been criticized by many people.

And her works are not as popular as she herself, nor are there any rumors about her being rumored to be.

And because of "false scandal", she was pushed to the forefront.

In May, rumors of Zhao Liying and Zhao Deyin's love affair were circulated online, and even the private meeting was photographed and posted online.

Zhao Liying's traffic has kept her scandal hot.

But she didn't care, but chose to "cold treatment".

But I wonder if she couldn't help it when she came back, so I chose to "force it hard".

I even brought my own work "In the World" when replying, and promoted the work by the way.

But Zhao Liying, who is straightforward in character, was caught in a "unquality" storm because of the three words "calculate you mei".

Later, she was called "playing with the big name" because she promoted it together with the creative team of "Sauce Garden Nong".

Isn't this really a "no disaster"?

I always feel that Zhao Liying is a little unlucky this year. She received an endorsement from Givenchy, but there was a storm in her endorsement.

After that, Zhao Liying rarely appears on the big screen, except for endorsements of some products.

Some time ago, VOGUE filmed the cover of the 20th anniversary magazine and invited 11 female stars.

Yang Mi, Liu Yifei and Xin Zhilei are all there, but Zhao Liying is missing.

Zhao Liying and Yang Mi are both "85 flowers" and are inevitably compared. Before, most netizens thought that Yang Mi's popularity was not as popular as Zhao Liying, but according to the popularity of the two this year, everything seemed to be the opposite.

Human relationships and worldly ways

September 12 is Yang Mi's 39th birthday. On her birthday, she received a lot of blessings.

Dialireba was the first to be the one who was Dilraba, who had posted a post at 0:00 for 12 consecutive years.

And the blessings are very good, and the four words "all things will come true" are really the best blessings.

Yang Mi also responded warmly with "Thank you baby".

Perhaps many people now think that Di Lieba and Yang Mi are just colleagues.

At least on the surface, Di Lieba's popularity and traffic are similar to Yang Mi.

But in fact, when Yang Mi was popular, Di Lieba was still a newcomer.

The relationship between the two before and after, Yang Mi treats Dilraba very well. The two can be said to be a friendship between both teachers and friends.

Liu Shishi also sent blessings to Yang Mi and also hand-drawn a cake picture.

The two have formed a deep friendship from "The Sword of Fairy III". In recent years, they have seen that they should be best friends.

In addition, Hui Yinghong said kindly, "My Mi Mi".

Then are the blessings of young juniors such as Zhang Binbin, Zhu Xudan, Wu Xuanyi, and Huang Minghao.

From the full blessings, I feel Yang Mi's good popularity.

In fact, it is not surprising that Yang Mi has such a good reputation, because Yang Mi has always been very kind and gentle on the screen and in her life, and she often cares about people.

For example, when she participated in "Flowers and Boys 5", she would consider the ideas of her senior Zhang Kaili and take care of the ideas of her juniors Ding Chengxin and Zhao Jinmai.

So it is normal for her to receive so many blessings.

What is surprising is that Zhao Liying, who is absent from VOGUE, recently appeared in Li Jiaqi's live broadcast room.

But this time Zhao Liying's condition makes people feel that she looks very different from her usual sweet appearance.

Zhao Liying in the live broadcast room looked in a bad mood, with little smile on her face and a very cold expression.

The entire live broadcast was Li Jiaqi in control of the scene. When talking to Zhao Liying, Zhao Liying's faint attitude made people feel that the atmosphere became awkward.
