21 Nov 2020 | A Reply Letter from Yang Mi to Fans

Dear all,

Hello,


Thank you for your letter. I am very happy that I can answer your doubts and questions using a piece of letter. I always think that this type of communication has its unique charisma. I also sincerely hope that my answers somewhat are able to help y’all and those bees (Yang Mi’s fans) who have the similar doubts.


Actually, similar to y’all, I do work very hard for all the decisions I made. Not long ago, I just finished filming the drama Novoland: Pearl Eclipse(斛珠夫人). After experiencing a few intense yet systematic filming conditions, I recently started to participate a few numbers of commercial events. The life in the filming set and the time when I attended the commercial events were completely two different types of compact lives. In the filming set, I lived a very disciplined life. The moment when a group of buddies and I together trying hard to complete a project gave me a special feeling. Meanwhile, to attend the commercial events, I needed to fly to different places and faced lots of people. Therefore, it did not have a pattern that was as regular as the life in the filming set. However, it was very interesting too because it brought many uncertainties for me to discover them one by one. I believe that everyone’s life is similar like this. Regardless of its pattern, y’all can definitely find a way and rhythm to control it and enjoy the experience and growth that it gives to you. Then, you will be happier and more confident.


There was a person mentioned in the letter that as they just enter the society, they feel confused and uncertain about the future and they don’t know how to digest this feeling. For this kind of doubt, my suggestion is:


First of all, do not be fearful just because of the temporary uncertainties because everyone will definitely experience either a long or short period of confusion at a particular stage of their life. So, what we can do and should do is just be brave to face your current condition, and think calmly about what kind of effective actions should you carry out. These actions may not give you an instant and obvious outcome but it might be the first step that you must take to step out of your mental confusion. Just follow your thoughts to slowly push the progress of the things that you want to do. The final results may differ from what you have expected but as long as you make the first step, the mist (confusion) in front of you will slowly disappear. I think that the best attitude to face your confusion period is “nothing ventured, nothing gained”. The future that everyone will face is definitely unknown. So, if you don’t even try to move forward, how could you know the scenery in front? Believe in yourself and take your action, good luck!


Of course, I know that during the “nothing ventured, nothing gained” process, you will more or less experience some difficulties because in my daily work and life, I will face the same issues. However, if you want to overcome the issue, you must work hard in completing your jobs and face the difficulties positively. All the tiredness is just temporary, you need to believe that you will definitely gain a reward if you contribute (work hard) instead of always complaining. This is because the negative attitude will make yourself circulates in the bad mood and even affect those friends or colleagues near you. Therefore, when facing your difficulties, it is very important to control and deal with your emotion. Last time, I might choose to fight with my feelings but now, I will choose to hug my feelings. Every emotion of yours has its own reason to exist. It is not wrong to choose a gentler way to accept your emotion. No matter is fighting the emotion or hugging it, they all are surrounded by the words “It’s not a big deal”. So, my little bees~ , do not fear of difficulties but face them bravely, then, you can definitely solve/overcome them.


Besides that, I would like to share to you all about the “behind the scene” of the industry that I involved in. For every film, variety show, and even a simple commercial event or media publicity/advertising, there are many buddies with different jobs and duties behind them. They work hard and make huge contributions for weeks, months and even years. Most of the workers behind the scene couldn’t be seen directly by everyone but I could see them and I also know that their works are absolutely necessary and indispensable. They all work hard and love their jobs and this is the power of team cooperation – everyone does their duties, cooperate together and move forward actively in order to complete a task nicer and better. You need to believe your importance in a team and your own significance because everyone is an indispensable existence and everything you do is meaningful.


So, through this conversation (letter), I hope that I could help you all by just a little bit, even if I’m just giving some mental comfort to those who are confused, I will feel very blessed and happy. This is because within these years that we have gone through together, our relationship supposed to be accompanying and growing (improving) together with each other. I know that most of you may become from a student at the start to a parent now. In these years of companion with you all, I learn about many things, grow mature and improve more. I will definitely cherish these treasurable experiences and memories because this companion, improvement and relationship is the one and only to me. So, I hope that in the following many and many years, we could continue to accompany each other, improve together, work hard in our jobs, live our lives seriously and nicely, and be a person who treat our family, friends and the world better.
