Yang Chaoyue doesn’t exactly have a great reputation for her acting. It has come to a point that people have even began to question why she’s getting the juicy leading roles despite her bad acting. The 25-year-old got a huge leg up in the industry when she debuted as part of Produce 101’s winning group Rocket Girls 101. Back then, she managed to win over viewers even though her singing and dancing abilities garnered criticism.
Yang Chaoyue has ventured into acting since then. However, her recent leading roles in The Journey of Chong Zi and Love You Seven Times have continued to draw flak. In fact, the idol was ridiculed for having just two expressions – her pouty face or her surprised “bug eyed” look. Then there’s that crying scene in Chong Zi that had many asking “where’s the actual tears in her eyes?”. Quite understandable then how she might’ve felt a little extra pressure.
Breaking Down
When filming yet another crying scene for Born to Run 如果奔跑是我的人生, Yang Chaoyue found herself in the middle of a breakdown. The actress, who plays a supporting role in the drama, cried over her efforts being not good enough. She’d apparently wanted to do a great job and was willing to do the scene over and over until she got it right. It seems though that the stress finally did her in. Meanwhile, her director stepped in to say there’s no need to put herself under so much pressure over one scene. “It’s very important” cried the actress. Good thing she was finally satisfied after a few more takes later.
I mean, it’s not that hard to see how she could’ve felt this way. Perhaps if she continues to be just as dedicated in building her skills, learning and practising, her performances might finally get everyone’s stamp of approval one day soon. Nonetheless, it seems the drama has been getting positive reviews so it looks like everyone’s hard work has been paying off.

this girl’s been breaking down a lot lol. imo if she can’t do it, take supporting roles till she learn the ropes. but I’m glad she’s doing modern, the genre that I don’t usually watch, so I won’t be irritated with her acting.
I have no sympathy for her; I have no sympathy for any actor/actress who’s coasting along thru their looks only. for every one of her, there are a million more beautiful and hardworking actresses. the audience isn’t there to babysit bad actors/actresses and watch them improve.
Joni
Agreed. Many more beautiful, hardworking and actually talented actresses just waiting for a chance. As they say, if you can’t stand the heat, get out of the kitchen. She said she doesn’t mind doing a scene over and over again just to get it right. She doesn’t think how much of other actors’, directors’ and production crew’ time she is wasting just because of her?
Coralie
that’s a great point. I didn’t think of all the effort the retakes would take for everyone else. it’s not fun when I watched angelababy and it’s not fun now to watch you.

@Joni, agreed. When I read this, I seriously rolled my eyes and was just thinking about how many people’s time she wasted. Recording schedule is already tight, and she’s acting like a brat. Practice on your own time. And how spoiled is she that she did that and the director comforted her instead of being angry with her. I feel like this news was released to make people feel sympathy for her, but really just has the opposite effect on me.

That was the first thing that went through my mind when I read this article.

Agree! There are many other hidden talented actresses that aren’t as lucky as her.

LOL I previously commented on the wrong person. This reply button option is too sensitive.
But…I Agree! There are many other hidden talented actresses that aren’t as lucky as her.

learn girl learn!!!!! learn how to act..!!!
i mean, many actors started from ‘awkward’ to ‘amazing’ bcuz they have learned well.
YCY is not female lead material yet, but why the producers always picked her as their 1st FL? she should humble herself and learn from being 2nd fl.
there are many great new young actresses, and she’s just wasting everyone’s time.

shr probably has someone powerful or super rich supporting her, giving her all the resources to get leading roles. Her agency should send her to acting class to improve her skills if they want to stop all the critics.

I’m inclined to this conclusion too, that she has a powerful “mountain” in the industry behind her. I think every director hates to work with diva actors who actually have no acting skills or those who are do not study their character role, or learn their lines before coming on set or having to babysit an actor’s fragile feelings. And most producers hate that their budget is being blown by such wastage of time.
