The Chinese edition of the fashion magazine VOGUE recently celebrated its 20th anniversary with a commemorative gala, inviting numerous top celebrities to gather. During the group photo session at the dinner, editor-in-chief Liu Chong first invited Liu Yifei to stand in the center, and Liu Yifei engaged in lively conversation with Ma Sichun on her left. Shortly after, Yang Mi was also brought to the center and, with assistance from Gulinazha, stood next to Liu Yifei. However, both stars turned their heads in opposite directions, creating a rather delicate atmosphere.
At that moment, Liu Chong quickly inserted himself between Yang Mi and Liu Yifei. Liu Yifei felt that her dress was stepped on and quietly pulled her skirt aside, barely making any eye contact with Yang Mi. Later, the two were seated at the main table but placed at opposite ends, with zero communication the entire time—not even glancing at each other.
Yang Mi and Liu Yifei first met in 2006 while collaborating on "The Return of the Condor Heroes." At the time, they affectionately called each other "Mi Mi" and "Qian Qian," and for five consecutive years, they publicly exchanged birthday wishes on Weibo. However, in 2017, Yang Mi and Liu Yifei each starred in the drama and film versions of "Eternal Love" ("Three Lives, Three Worlds, Ten Miles of Peach Blossom"), respectively. The TV version's popularity skyrocketed, while the movie version flopped at the box office. The public even proclaimed, "There is no Bai Qian after Yang Mi." Rumor has it that this caused a rift between them, and their interactions ceased after Yang Mi's September 2017 birthday message to Liu Yifei.
