After graduating from junior high school, she started to work… Yang Chaoyue starred in “Sun Ren”, and the female college student from Qinghan called her Zheng Yu online.

Mainland actress Yang Chaoyue has recently successfully overturned the evaluation of her acting skills with her new drama “Today is Sun Rain”. The topic “Yang Chaoyu strives for success” has become a hot search topic recently, and an interview in her early years where she discussed her family background has also been exposed. From a factory worker to a restaurant waiter, she debuted as the third-place actress in “Produce 101” in 2018. Now she not only has the first female lead but also won the Best Supporting Actress award at an international film festival for her film. This difficult journey to fame has made many netizens regret that his life and that of the character Zheng Yu in the new drama are somewhat parallel.

Yang Chaoyue was born in 1998 in rural Yancheng, Jiangsu province. He lived with his father after his parents divorced when he was 12 years old. To ease the financial burden on his family, he entered society after completing junior high school. Experiencing the difficulties of grassroots work, she worked on a sewing machine in a clothing factory and as a waitress in a restaurant. In an interview, he revealed that when he left his hometown to work in Shanghai, life was not easy, and he also faced many grievances and setbacks.

The surprising thing is that Yang Chaoyue had no dreams of becoming a star. In 2016, she saw that the women’s team selection program offered a reward of 2,000 yuan, including meals and accommodation, so she participated with the mentality of trying it out. She later joked that she just wanted to add experience to her resume, hoping to negotiate an additional NT$200 salary when looking for a future job. Unexpectedly, two years later, she made it to the finals of “Produce 101” and joined “Rocket Girls 101” in third place. However, his singing and dancing abilities were also questioned and he was labeled a “someone” for a long time.

After joining the drama troupe, Yang Chaoyue was criticized because some of her works did not perform as expected, but she did not stop. Recently, in “Today is Sun Ren”, she played the role of biology student Zheng Yu, who comes from a poor family and works to pay off her mother’s medical expenses and family debt. He beautifully played the role of a character who has been under the pressure of life for a long time and has to stop himself from breaking down, which impressed many viewers. Some netizens said, “He is Zheng Yu this time, not Yang Chaoyue”, “He is very suitable for such a stubborn, desperate character”, “It doesn’t feel like acting, but like reliving memories”.

In fact, Yang Chaoyue’s change in acting skills has already been detected. In August this year, she won the Best Supporting Actress Award at the Fourth Cambodian Asian Film Festival “Golden Longdo Award” for the role of Nurse “Thank You” in the movie “10 Suicide Squad”, and won her first film performance award since her debut. From the time she entered the entertainment industry with a salary of 2,000 yuan to now gradually gaining recognition through her work, Yang Chaoyue spent 8 years to remove the “somebody” label step by step.
