"Three Lives, Three Worlds and Ten Miles of Peach Blossom" was a hit for a while, and Di Lizheba’s role as the little fox Feng Jiu left a deep impression on the audience. A year later, Di Lizheba, who has only debuted for five years, has become one of the first-line actresses, and has played the heroine in several major dramas in succession. At present, she starred in the ancient costume fantasy drama "Fire Like a Song" is on the air, and the single-day online broadcast record continues to lead. She herself has topped the Artist New Media Index for 16 consecutive days. For such a rapid rise in popularity, the consensus in the industry’s evaluation of Di Lizheba is that she is willing to endure hardships and is dedicated to her work.
In the past four years, she has never rested and worked hard to do every job well. During the filming of "Fire Like a Song", Di Lizheba also worked extremely hard. Her eyes were injured during the filming scene, and she could only appear with half of her face at one point, insisting on not falling behind in the shooting progress. For Di Lizheba, she grew up with the characters in this work. If the beauty and persistence of "Feng Jiu" in "Three Lives" opened up the audience’s favor for her, then the maturity and tenacity of "Fire Like a Song" is an important threshold for Di Lizheba to move from a young flower to a big heroine.
From the perspective of women, "Fire Like a Song" focuses on the topic of growth in the rivers and lakes. In the play, Lie Ruge’s strong and independent image of inspirational women has infected the audience, and the bravely and heroically martial arts are equally impressive. In an interview, Di Lizheba said that because there are a lot of fighting scenes in each episode, it is necessary to constantly practice martial arts movements. "Lie Ruge mainly uses whips in the play. When I first started practicing, I was not skilled. I hit my own eyes, and I could only shoot half of my face."
From a little girl surrounded by love to a chivalrous girl who takes the initiative to give love, Ruge has to go through a layer of transformation every time she encounters a turning point. The upgraded role setting of fighting monsters makes the characters gradually plump and fresh, which also makes Reba experience no small challenge: "The most difficult performance should be every turning point, which is difficult to control. Some things happen and have new growth. I think this process is difficult." After encountering various changes, Ruge’s character gradually became calm, and the bright spots of strength and independence gradually became prominent. This kind of growth made Reba feel wonderful: "I like Lie Ruge’s growth process very much, that is, after she encounters some things, she will become stronger, and everyone can obviously see her growth. She has gone from wanting others to love her, to taking the initiative to give love and receive love. This process is particularly wonderful."
In fact, there are many similarities between Ruge and Reba’s personalities. When the cast was first announced, many fans of the original book expressed their approval for Reba’s role in Lie Ruge. Producer Gao Chen also said that the two characters are very strong and persistent, and the characters and actors can communicate with each other. "Fire Ruge" was filmed during the period of Reba’s growth and transformation, and she was deeply impressed by going through storms with the characters: "I think the biggest change and breakthrough of this play is to grow together with her, which also allows me to quickly integrate into the plot."
Talking about the future development, Di Lizheba said that he is filming the movie "Legend of the Sun and Moon" with Dou Xiao, and will later shoot the TV series "Three Lives and Three Worlds Pillow Book". In addition, the movie "21 Carats" with Guo Jingfei is about to meet the audience.
