One Moment: Li Yifeng's Best Time

Chapter 2 When you really want to do something, the whole world will help you

stage
When I was very young, I dreamed of being able to stand on the stage one day.

I remember when I was in kindergarten, our class held a cultural activity. I sang a love song, Jacky Cheung's "Kiss Goodbye".The teacher was very surprised, thinking how could such a young child sing such a popular song? !As you know, at that time there were not so many media where pop music could be heard, especially those from Hong Kong and Taiwan.Later, when you grow up and go to elementary school, everyone will be asked this way: What is your dream?I believe that many people have written [-] essays on this subject.I remember very clearly that the ideals of my classmates are mostly teachers, scientists, doctors, etc. My answer is: My dream is to be a star!Of course I was educated immediately.The teacher feels that this is an unrealistic ideal, and the idea is naive and not ambitious.Maybe now the teacher will feel that my dream at that time was not a dream to me, but a real ideal.

football
Later, I fell in love with football, and my family was very supportive.Because that was the time when Sichuan football was flourishing.Every weekend, all the young and old in Chengdu excitedly invite their friends and gather in front of the stadium or TV.That was also the golden age of Chinese football.The Sichuan army is very fierce, and so are the Sichuan fans.The cheering slogan "Xiongqi" was chanted all over the country during this period.I like football, and I regard Wei Qun, Yao Xia, and Ma Mingyu as idols, shouting and excitedly going to the football school, determined to become one of them.This football school is similar to the current specialty class, just over the Chengdu Skydiving Tower.I go to school to train every weekend, learn footwork, also practice physical strength, and play group games.At that time, I liked playing football so much that I basically forgot about being a star.It was a kind of pure love with high fever. Looking back now, I can feel a wave of heat coming.In addition to the systematic training on weekends, I play football as soon as school is over, in the classroom and in the corridors.Delusion to imitate the protagonist of a popular comic at that time "Captain Tsubasa", the ball never leaves the body, superb skills, was selected into the youth team, and then the national team!Of course, the actual result is: the unreliable Li Yifeng child often kicks tables, benches and classmates, and then is criticized and criticized by the teacher.

Later, this period of high fever gradually faded away because of the promotion to a higher grade, academic stress and other reasons.But that love for football or sports stayed in my spare time every weekend.Now watching football is the only thing that makes me jump out of the quilt early in the morning after work-basketball and football are must-sees!
Childhood hobbies are really amazing.Perhaps most of the interests, in the end, will not change the trajectory of our lives so significantly as we think.The boy who learns football does not become a football player, the girl who learns piano does not become a pianist, and the child who learns calligraphy may not hold a brush for many years.But my liking for sports when I was a child finally made me a person with good physical fitness, who likes sports, and is happy when watching football games.This should still be fine.

dream in the dark

For me, what is different from all hobbies is my liking for the stage.Yes, the stage is a symbol, representing my dream of becoming a star.

I'm not very good at designing the future, and I don't make very specific requirements and imaginations for the future.But when it comes to dreams, when I was young, I had a concrete picture of it, which often appeared in my mind, and I felt that this was the right way: standing on the stage.On a dark stage, I stand alone, and there is a beam of light projected from the empty sky.I can't see the surroundings and the audience clearly, I only know that I am on the stage and the whole stage belongs to me.In the darkness, many eyes were watching me.They laughed with me, cried with me, we shouted together, applauded for this stage.

Most of the children stay in the Chinese composition and the amusement of the parents when it comes to dreams.I think that for those children who answered that they wanted to be scientists and astronauts, not many of them still remember their grand ambitions, let alone realize them.But none of this prevents us from dreaming, nor does it prevent us from changing the coordinates from time to time, re-measure the runway, and correct our dreams after we gradually understand the world.To apply a line of lyrics: Anyone who has a dream is great!

As for myself, unfortunately, my dream of being on stage lasted for a long time.The teacher asked me when I was six, I asked myself when I was 16, and you asked me when I was 26. My answers are basically the same.Although these 26 years have indeed given birth to other ideas, such as being a professional player, opening a restaurant, traveling around the world... But the stage dream, it exists in my body very persistently, as if this is my destiny.

In May 2007, after the sub-division competitions, we had to fly to Shanghai to participate in the finals. That was the first time I left Sichuan to go to other places.When I arrived at the airport, I realized that many people came to drop off and pick up the plane because of me. The boiling crowd and the screams that rushed to my face really made me feel dazed for a moment.Before I had time to think about it, I was surrounded and walked forward, and was pushed onto the stage when I was a child. The quietness of the stage overlapped with the chaos of the airport.It was at that moment that I felt that I was actually standing on the stage that I had imagined.At that moment, I said to myself: It all started.

inner truth

There are often media outlets that ask you to sum up: Is your current life and work what you want?It has been several years since the draft was recognized by everyone.Looking back on these journeys, do you think these are what you want?

I will answer without hesitation: yes.

From participating in the competition until now, no matter what happens, I have hardly changed my original choice. This is a strange determination.From the competition station to the cusp of the storm to a certain period of slow silence, from being labeled as a good-looking idol singer to changing the track and quietly starting from the foundation of an actor, I cherish every process in it.For the dead-headed Taurus me, there's no greater peace of mind than being able to keep my feet firmly planted on the road.I'm used to doing things in a down-to-earth way, without rushing, and time and hard work can allow us to accumulate something that is truly real.

Opportunities are always reserved for those who prepare silently

People's feelings are sometimes very strange. At certain critical moments in life, we feel a certain real sound as if we have a foreknowledge.It's like the sound of waves hitting rocks when you are walking on a mountain road without knowing the way forward, and when you are about to approach the sea.

For me, the competition I participated in in my freshman year was the sacred moment of going to the beach.Before this, I have never experienced the feeling of "predestined in the dark".But the premonition that "this year will be different" really filled my chest when I was young at the time.I don't like to keep a diary very much, so when the winter vacation was about to end, I wrote an article in Qzone: There must be a big change in the new year!I will have a different life...

opportunity
Breaking free from the college entrance examination and going to university in the city where I have lived since I was a child, this feeling is completely different from leaving home and needing to take a train or plane to a strange environment to start a new life.My university started naturally. After the college entrance examination and the summer vacation, I took a registration card and took a car from one side of the city to the other side of the city. Then I became a college student.After becoming a college student, there must be some life that is different from before.It's nothing more than joining some clubs and participating in some campus competitions.Not long after I entered university, I participated in a singing competition, but was eliminated in the second round.I didn't take this matter to heart, just practicing my hands.There are also some competitions with good rankings, such as the champion of "17173 Carnival" Chengdu Station.I remember one time when Xu Changde came to our school to give a speech. I also asked a senior sister to help me pass my resume to Mr. Xu. At that time, I was very "newborn calf" and participated in everything happily, with a very good attitude. Will not care about gains and losses.

I believe that when you are truly ready, your opportunity will come.

In the summer of the freshman year, the opportunity came. The summer of 2007 was hot in many people's memories.That summer was indeed different.As the "draft capital", people in the streets and alleys of the city were discussing the two popular talent shows "Happy Boys" and "Come on!Good boy".Everywhere I go, people make fun of me: Hey!Did you sign up?Who do you compare to?The classmates will also encourage each other, make an appointment to form a group, when will you ask for leave to sign up together...

I really made up my mind to participate in the competition because I listened to my mother's advice.I signed up for both Good Man and Fast Man, and passed the audition without a hitch.The registration of the fast boys is relatively advanced, but the progress of the competition system of the good boys is faster.My plan is to choose whichever can go further.Anyway, try both, one will not fail.Finally, "Come on!The news of the preliminary round of "Good Man" came out first.When I received the notification call, I was learning to drive with a manual transmission.At that time, I was struggling with the clutch, brake, accelerator, and steering wheel.I panicked when the phone rang, and the car was still driving in the middle of the road.I pulled over in a hurry to pick up the phone. I remember it very clearly. The staff first congratulated me for entering the next stage, and then told me when and where to report, prepare my luggage, and so on.I was very excited at the time, and immediately called my family to tell my family, and then dragged my luggage to report to the TV station the next day, and went to Dujiangyan.Later, Kuainan also called me and told me that I had entered the top [-] in the division.I very coolly declined, saying that I had decided to quit the fast man competition.By the way, the person who called me from Kuainan is my current agent, Ms. Season.

At that time, the concept of a good man was a TV show, so I didn't think about who I had to beat, who I surpassed, what ranking I would get in the end, etc. I just did what I could do.After being promoted to the sub-division, I felt that all the subsequent results were extra gains, so my mentality at that time was very simple. I hadn’t had time to think about the impact the competition would have on my future life, nor had I thought that it would start my dream I didn’t expect it to be an important turning point in my life. I just thought that if I had such an opportunity, I would take part in it if I could, and take it as an exercise for myself.

On May 2007, 5, after arriving in Shanghai, I really stood on the stage facing the whole country. At that time, I was full of curiosity about everything, and I guess I was a little bit crazy. I didn’t feel nervous at all. Freshness and excitement occupied my heart brain.At that time, I thought "It doesn't exist! Compare!" (Please refer to the Chengdu dialect notes here. The general meaning is: it doesn't matter, don't be afraid.) The event is a live broadcast, and it is the first time to face the enthusiasm of so many people at the scene, and face the professional judges When I think about scoring real-time games and facing real promotion and elimination, I feel nervous for me at that time.At that time, singing was singing, dancing was dancing, and I didn’t think about anything, just do it.In comparison, now I feel nervous every time I go on stage, and I have more worries.This probably means that the more you know, the more you will be in awe of the world and be cautious.

Part of the Good Boys competition is a reality show, and cameras are installed in every corner of the dormitory to record our daily life.Photography can be done anytime and anywhere. We are arranged with a daily itinerary. What we should do in a day, such as fitness, voice training, training, and rest, are all arranged into a timetable. All we have to do is to complete this timetable.I didn't understand these strange things. I thought to myself, we are here to compete, as long as we sing well, why do we have to stop outside the competition?Someone is watching you at any time, and you are equivalent to being transparent.At the beginning, I was a little apprehensive, but later on I completely forgot about the existence of the camera.There are still incomprehensible things in the game, that is, interviews and announcements.At that time, I hadn’t realized the importance of publicity. I sang, and you all just watched me sing on TV. Is it really meaningful to talk about this and that?Although now they also say that I don't know much about the importance of publicity.

There is always an end to the game, and it stops at the quarterfinals.My summer is over.I don't have any sadness, and I don't have time to think about the future. The most real thought is: I can finally sleep well!

Because of this summer, I completed my premonition that "there will be a big change in the new year".Everything didn’t come out of nowhere, thanks to my healthy growth and hard work before, when opportunities came, I didn’t just reach out and grab them unprepared.

After the game, fly back to Chengdu.I played games normally on the plane, and the girl sitting next to me just watched me play games.Suddenly she said to me: "You look like Li Yifeng in Good Boys!" I turned my head while playing the game and said, "Yes! Thank you." She said: "Well, it really looks like that, you can go and see Look, he's quite popular recently!"

I said, "Okay, I'll check it out when I get home." She then asked, "Then what do you do?" I said to her while playing the game, "I'll tell you later." I knew there would be fans Picking up the plane, I thought, hey hey hey, I will scare you in a while!It's a pity that she got separated after getting off the plane, and I didn't see her expression.After a while, I went to Shanghai to participate in an event, and many fans came. A girl in the first row gesticulated and said to me loudly: Li Yifeng, Li Yifeng, do you still remember me?
Of course I remember, the girl I met on the plane.
