According to QQ , the historical drama "Yun Xiu Xing" is currently airing but is not attracting much audience attention. On the Douban rating site, the drama received only a 3.8/10 score, surprising viewers. Li Yitong, despite being a highly sought-after star, has failed to gain popularity despite playing 30 leading female roles.
Although "Yun Xiu Xing" boasts a cast of well-known and familiar faces like Li Yitong, Deng Wei, and Zeng Shunxi, the script is criticized for lacking originality and featuring repetitive plot points seen in many other historical dramas. Furthermore, the styling and acting of the female lead, Li Yitong, seem to be copied directly from other films, leaving viewers feeling bored. The public believes that Li Yitong, at 36 years old, is no longer suitable for playing the kind of naive, childish character with adorable gestures. The more viewers watch, the more they see her acting as exaggerated and mechanical. Therefore, a significant part of the failure of "Yun Xiu Xing" is due to Li Yitong.
Chinese media also considers Li Yitong to be the most difficult star to become famous in the entertainment industry. She receives many good film and television opportunities, and her co-stars are male actors with large fan bases; however, Li Yitong's fame struggles to advance.
QQ reports that Li Yitong began acting in 2015 and was given a leading role in her debut project, "Half-Demon Allure." Her filmography includes "The Legend of the Condor Heroes," "The Bewitching Woman," "Begonia Blooming in the Rain," "Crane's Lament," "Sword Dynasty," "Love Me, Don't Think Too Much, Wait for Me Until the End of Time," "Farewell Between Clouds," "Just for the Moment We Met," "The Wonderful Girl," "My Era, Your Era," "The Song of the Night," "Special Forces Glory," "The Orchid's Decision," "When Dark Clouds Meet Bright Moonlight," "The Storm," "Ideals Shining," "Nine Immortals' Cold Night Warmth," "Just to Meet You," "A Dream of the Book," "Heaven and Earth Sword Heart," "Heroic Ambition," "The Long Wind Rises," "The Remaining Beauty," "Golden Branch," etc. These are all major projects adapted from famous original works.
Her co-stars include renowned and accomplished actors such as Chen Jianbin, Lu Yi, Luo Jin, and Deng Lun, as well as the hottest young stars in the Chinese entertainment industry like Yang Yang and Li Xian... However, currently, due to Li Yitong's poor film performance, her co-stars are younger, less well-known stars like Deng Wei and Liu Yuning.
The clearest evidence that Li Yitong, despite being the most pampered actress in the entertainment industry, failed to achieve significant fame is her role as the female lead in the crime drama "Storm" in 2023. This was the hottest drama of 2023, a huge success in terms of quality, reputation, and viewership, reaching 200 million views per episode – the hottest drama in the past seven years. However, no matter how explosive the drama was, how it saved the careers of the supporting male actors and made the supporting female actress a star overnight, it couldn't significantly increase Li Yitong's name recognition.
"Even ' The Storm' couldn't help Li Yitong become memorable to the audience, so she'll probably never be able to become an A-list star," QQ sarcastically commented.
