LayarHijau.com — Chinese actress Yang Mi captured headlines during the opening of the Shanghai International Film Festival on Saturday, June 14, 2025. Walking the red carpet to promote her two latest projects — The Lychees of Chang’an and She’s Got No Name — Yang Mi quickly climbed Weibo’s trending list with hashtags like #杨幂手拿荔枝 (Yang Mi holding lychees), #杨幂上影节出图 (Yang Mi’s festival photos released), and #杨幂长安的荔枝一滴泪镜头 (Yang Mi’s one-tear scene in Lychees of Chang’an).

A Lychee as a Symbolic Statement
Yang Mi was photographed holding a lychee in her hand, and even the cake at the event was lychee-themed — a subtle but highly effective touch. Her gesture went viral with the hashtag #杨幂手拿荔枝, resonating with the theme and core image of the film The Lychees of Chang’an (Mandarin title: 《长安的荔枝》), set to premiere on July 25, 2025.

The film tells the story of lychees being transported to the Tang Dynasty capital of Chang’an. Yang Mi’s symbolic act served as a form of “visual symbolization” — a promotional technique to reinforce audience memory through striking imagery.
A Supporting Role with Lasting Impact
In the film, Yang Mi plays Zheng Yuting, the wife of lead character Li Shande. Although it’s a supporting role, director Dapeng described her performance as “like the core of a lychee — calm on the outside, but full of power within.”
One particular clip that moved audiences showed Yang Mi shedding a single tear, which quickly gained attention on social media under the hashtag #杨幂长安的荔枝一滴泪镜头. Viewers praised the scene for its emotional precision and understated intensity.
Showstopping Look on the Red Carpet
On the red carpet, Yang Mi turned heads in a bold electric-blue dress from Schiaparelli Fall/Winter 2024 Haute Couture, paired with BVLGARI fine jewelry. The slender straps and daring slit added confidence and elegance to the look, instantly making her a media darling of the night.
Her red carpet photos quickly circulated on Weibo, fueled by the hashtag #杨幂上影节出图, as fans and fashion bloggers praised her visual presence.
Two Films, Two Faces of Yang Mi
The two films she promoted reveal striking contrasts. The Lychees of Chang’an delivers a historical, emotional tone, while She’s Got No Name (Mandarin title: 《酱园弄·悬案》) explores suspense and mystery. This dual presence showcases Yang Mi’s remarkable range — from soft emotional depth to gripping psychological tension.
The timing of her trending appearance — precisely aligned with the festival’s opening — reflects a well-orchestrated promotional campaign that not only boosted interest in both films, but also solidified Yang Mi’s standing as one of China’s most bankable and versatile actresses today.
