Another new drama was launched in Yang Mi, and four performances of "Fox" had new surprises every time.
After 20 years of debut, I only starred in seven ancient puppet dramas, but I have already written the chronicle of ancient dolls. Except for Yang Mi, I really can’t find a second person in entertainment. What’s even more rare is that Tu Shan Honghong in The Little Matchmaker Moon Red is the fourth time that Yang Mi plays the fox. At first glance, she seems to be suspected of repeating herself. However, if you carefully consider each character, you will find that they are different in both shape and disposition. Even if they are all foxes, Yang Mi also interprets them in different works in different periods.
From Nie Xiaoqian in Strange Tales from a Lonely Studio, Qing Luan in A Beautiful World in Tang Palace to Bai Qian in to the sky kingdom, and then to Tu Shan Honghong in The Little Matchmaker Moon Red, which is now being broadcasted, each character is distinctive and unforgettable.

"Fox Demon Little Matchmaker Moon Red" Tu Shan Red.
Let’s talk about Tu Shan Honghong in The Little Matchmaker Moon Red, which is the closest to the audience. As the head of Tu Shan, she is also a member of the Red Line Fairy, and her duty is to help the demon family realize love by means of red line matchmaking.
The role setting of Tu Shan Honghong itself is full of mystery, and Yang Mi’s outstanding interpretation endows this role with too much personality charm and humanity brilliance. On the surface, it seems cold, but in fact, it is soft inside, which combines the composite temperament of being cute, royal sister and queen. Such a complicated role is also a great challenge for Yang Mi. Yang Mi not only fits in with it in appearance, but also endows Tu Shan with red arc, a human character. It seems far away, but also close, with many familiarity and kindness.
After 18 episodes in one breath, Tu Shan and Honghong, a Tu Shan who grew up at the beginning of the month, also suffered an unprecedented crisis: the increasingly powerful Shijie came to learn from the spirit of the tree of bitterness, and Honghong decided to sacrifice her love. At this time, Tu Shan is red, deeply mired in great inner contradictions. On the one hand, the confession at the beginning of the month, and on the other hand, the safety of Tu Shan, how to choose, is really entangled in anxiety. Yang Mi’s interpretation also lingers in the choice of "heartless love in my heart". Her worries and hesitations are all presented through her eyes and expressions. There are beautiful smiles and rare tears, especially the moment when she refused at the beginning of the month, and she can experience the silent but heartbreaking pain from her performance. Yang Mi deserves praise for her acting skills and eye skills.
Nie Xiaoqian, Strange Tales from a Lonely Studio
Yang Mi played the role of fox for the first time, which was Nie Xiaoqian in Strange Tales from a Lonely Studio in 2005. Although in Pu Songling’s original work, Xiaoqian was a female ghost, the setting in the play was indeed a fox demon. At that time, Yang Mi was only 19 years old. Although she was not young, she successfully interpreted such a beautiful and dangerous role as Nie Xiaoqian.
Yang Mi’s exquisite facial features and long eyelashes, coupled with the sporadic decoration on his forehead, although Xiaoqian also has the charming qualities of a fox demon, it is more of a detached fairy, especially in line with Xiaoqian’s cold temperament. What impressed me most was Xiaoqian’s elegant posture of playing the piano in Lanruo Temple, which was definitely a classic scene in ancient puppet dramas. It was so beautiful. This is Yang Mi’s first fox role, but she has already seen her detachment and agility. This seemingly "debut is the peak" appearance, but for Yang Mi, it is only a stay in the rising stage of her acting career.
Qing Luan, Beauty in the Tang Palace
Yang Mi played the role of the fox for the second time, in 2011, Qingluan in The Beauty of Tang Palace. In fact, this character can’t be completely defined as a white fox. After all, she is just a masterpiece of the enemy, pretending to be a fox spirit. However, from beginning to end, this character always claimed to be a fox spirit, and even in the end, he was so affectionate that he even believed himself. Why don’t we believe it?
Qing Luan in A Beauty in the Tang Palace is completely different from Yang Mi’s last fox role. She is cold and unfeeling, but she is felt by the passionate emperor, cruel and ruthless, and by the friendship with Mei Niang … It seems heartless, but in fact she has love. In the final analysis, this role is a woman with tender feelings and coquetry. Qingluan has been cultivated as a meticulous work, but finally after meeting love, she understands the true meaning of life. Its beautiful appearance is in sharp contrast with the inner desolation, which is impressive.
To the sky kingdom Bai Qian
In 2017′ s to the sky kingdom, Yang Mi played Bai Qian, the first beauty in the four seas and eight wild places. This is a charming and arrogant person who goes to god in every move. Yang Mi used his own performance to interpret the most perfect fox spirit image in everyone’s mind. For this role, Yang Mi must be particularly partial. She once said that she is Bai Qian, and there has always been a saying that there is no Bai Qian after Yang Mi, which shows that this role is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
Friends who have seen "to the sky kingdom" all know that the Fox Fairy played by Yang Mi has gone through three stages of love and hate entanglements, namely, Bai Qian, Mr.zhou and Si Yin, and Yang Mi’s three plain makeup styles are also elegant and beautiful, and they are all smart and elegant, which is really pleasing to the eye. Her love at the fate level is persistent, and it is also embarrassing.
"Harbin 1944" Guan Xue
In fact, it is also worth mentioning that there is also the spy war drama Harbin 1944, which just ended. Yang Mi plays the ruthless villain Guan Xue in the play. Although it is a chronological drama, it is also like a beautiful and cunning fox in terms of its character characteristics. Yang Mi vividly depicts Guan Xue’s inner world. Her performance is both powerful and delicate, and her eyes and movements are full of dramatic tension, which vividly shows the joys and sorrows of the role, so that the audience can truly feel the emotional fluctuations of the role.
Who says foxes can only exist in ancient puppet shows? Who said that foxes and foxes can only be the same? Yang Mi, on this track, gave a high score that was difficult to copy.
Although I don’t know whether Yang Mi will play the role of fox in the future, her past performance is the essence condensed and condensed after her debut for more than 20 years, and has also shaped one insurmountable classic role after another. A qualified actress, you never know where the width and breadth of her potential boundary are, and it is still worth looking forward to in the future.
