Overcoming challenge

“Miracles do exist only if you believe in them,” Yi Yangqianxi said when he recommended his latest film Nice View.
易烊千玺在宣传自己的新电影《奇迹·笨小孩》时说：“奇迹因相信而存在。”

According to Maoyan company, it had earned over 1 billion yuan as of Feb 16. It is centered on how Jing Hao, played by Yi, raised large sums of money to pay for his young sister’s surgery.
根据猫眼数据显示，截至2月16日，《奇迹·笨小孩》总票房已破10亿。影片主要讲述了易烊千玺饰演的景浩如何筹集大笔资金支付妹妹手术费的故事。

For Jing, 20, he needed a miracle to start his own business in face of the many difficulties he encountered. “Remember that nothing is impossible as long as you try your best,” Yi quoted his lines from the film in an interview with Cover News.
对于20岁的景浩来说，他面对着重重困难，需要奇迹来开启自己的事业。在接受《封面新闻》采访时，易烊千玺引用了电影中的台词:“你要记住，只要努力就没什么不可能。”

For Yi, 21, his path to becoming an A-list celebrity could also be seen as a miracle. He doesn’t have a family background in the show biz industry. Before moving to Beijing with his mother, Yi and his family lived in Shenzhen. When he was a child, Yi took many interest-oriented classes like street dance, calligraphy and accordion. “I was either taking these classes, or on the way to the classes,” Yi said in a vlog.
对于21岁的易烊千玺来说，他成为一线明星的道路也可以视作一个奇迹。易烊千玺家中并无演艺圈背景。在和母亲搬到北京之前，他和家人住在深圳。易烊千玺小时候就参加了许多兴趣班，比如街舞、书法和手风琴。易烊千玺在一段视频日志中说：“我不是正在兴趣班上课，就是在去上课的路上。”

Yi then lived in the suburbs of Beijing. He spent almost four hours a day going to these training institutions and back. To save time, Yi had meals and did homework on the bus.
易烊千玺当时住在北京郊区，每天花近四个小时往返于这些培训机构之间。为了节省时间，他就在公交车上吃饭、做作业。

This childhood experience shaped his personality. He became more mature than his peers. This also gave him the personal qualities of dedication and perseverance in his acting career.
童年的经历塑造了易烊千玺的性格，他变得比同龄人更成熟。这也赋予了他在演艺事业中敬业、坚毅的个人品质。

“He stayed at the shooting site almost every day,” Gong Jinguo, an actor of Nice View, told Yangcheng Evening News. “He took part in over 270 of the movie’s 290 scenes.”
“他几乎每天都待在拍摄现场，”《奇迹·笨小孩》的演员巩金国在接受《羊城晚报》采访时表示，“这部电影的290场戏里，他出演了270多场。”

Like Jing finally receiving a miracle, Yi grew up from a nobody to a somebody. He has become the first movie actor born in the 2000s with blockbusters he has starred in earning an overall box office of over 10 billion yuan, Maoyan reported in February.
就像景浩最终获得了奇迹一样，易烊千玺也从一个无名小卒成长为家喻户晓的演员。据猫眼2月数据显示，易烊千玺成为了首个主演电影总票房超过100亿元的“00后”电影演员。
