The entertainment industry has always been the hardest hit area for late marriage, and those celebrities rarely get married before the age of 30.
However, Wang Yan, who also came from the entertainment industry, got married as early as the age of 23.
The name Wang Yan may not be familiar to some people, but as long as they see the photo, most people will react immediately: she is not Qing'er in "Huan Zhu Ge Ge"!
In 1999, "Huan Zhu Ge Ge 2" was a hit, in which Wang Yan played one of the heroines Qing Ge Ge, who was the red-faced confidant who had been promised to Er Kang by Lafayette.
Although Qing Gege only debuted in the second part, his popularity was not lost to the two heroines of Xiaoyanzi and Ziwei.
But the strange thing is that Wang Yan, who played QingGege, did not become as popular as Zhao Wei and Lin Xinru later, but almost disappeared, why is this?
The reason is very simple: Wang Yan is married, in order to take care of the family, she can't devote all her body and mind to her career like Zhao Wei and Lin Xinru, so she has not been able to soar all the way through the hit of "Returning pearls".
From this point of view, Wang Yan sacrificed her star path for marriage.
But 25 years later, Wang Yan, a female star who sacrificed her career prospects because of early marriage, has become the object of envy of people in the circle.
In 1974, Wang Yan was born in Qingdao, Shandong Province, his parents were working-class people, and in that era, he belonged to the upper and lower levels, and in the popular words now, he was "born in a middle-class family".
There are two details that can reflect Wang Yan's family situation when she was a child: First, her father can play the violin; The second is that she had milk powder to drink when she was a child.
In that era, ordinary people hardly had any artistic pursuits, but Wang Yan's father could play the violin, which showed that their family had already lived a so-called "well-off life".
As for milk powder, not to mention Wang Yan after the 70s, I am afraid that many post-80s children did not have the opportunity to drink it, which shows how rich Wang Yan's original family is.
But drinking milk powder also left Wang Yan with a sequelae, her voice was hoarse after she became an adult, which was related to the frequent drinking of milk powder when she was a child, because her careless father always added salt as sugar to milk powder, which damaged Wang Yan's throat.
Wang Yan stepped into the entertainment circle and had a certain relationship with her father who loved the violin.
When she was young, Wang Yan did not sleep well, often needed her father to play the violin to coax her to sleep, and gradually, Wang Yan liked music, thus laying the groundwork for her to embark on the road of art in the future.
But in the end, Wang Yan did not choose the path of music, but went to learn dance, because she prefers to dance than to play an instrument or sing.
Of course, it may also be related to the fact that she eats too much salted milk powder and causes her voice to be hoarse and not suitable for singing.
At the age of 6, Wang Yan began to learn dance in the Children's Palace in her hometown of Qingdao, and she learned quickly with both interest and talent, and was carefully cultivated by her teacher Wang Wenshan.
In the fourth grade, the Beijing Dance Academy came to Qingdao to enroll, and the teacher Wang Wenshan strongly recommended her, and Wang Yan did not live up to the teacher's expectations, stood out among dozens of competitors, and successfully obtained the admission qualification.
When she went to Beijing to study, Wang Yan was not yet 10 years old, and at this time she did not know that her future life would be deeply bound to the ancient capital, and even her husband was a native of Beijing.
Wang Yan's husband, also surnamed Wang, is Wang Zhicai, and was one of the earliest real estate developers in Beijing.
Wang Zhicai was born in 1963, nearly a round older than Wang Yan, and he did not have the advantage of age, what did he rely on to capture Wang Yan's heart? How did the two people who originally had no intersection know each other?
This is thanks to one of Wang Yan's teachers.
In 1992, Wang Yan walked out of the campus and, like many of her classmates, went to work in the Cultural and Labor Corps.
It was in that year that Qiong Yao cast for the new drama "Plum Blossom Fall", just graduated, and Only 18-year-old Wang Yan entered her eyes.
Almost at first glance, Qiong Yao decided that Wang Yan was the person she was looking for, because Wang Yan was not only beautiful, but also had a solid dance foundation, which was just in line with the needs of the characters in the play.
Under Qiong Yao's clapping, Wang Yan starred in a squire in "Plum Blossom Fall", although the role is not important, but there are several lines, which is rare for a small actor like her who has just debuted and has no fame.
After the broadcast of "Plum Blossom Fall", Wang Yan's appearance and acting skills have been recognized by the audience and affirmed by her peers, and her star path has become more and more smooth, and various invitations have come and gone.
After several years of development, Wang Yan has accumulated a lot of fame and become a hot and popular actress in the circle.
In 1997, Qiong Yao took the initiative to invite her to participate in the filming of "Huan Zhu Ge Ge 1", but what was unexpected was that Wang Yan actually refused such a good opportunity.
You know, Zhao Wei, Lin Xinru and Fan Bingbing, the earliest was through the "Huan Zhu Ge Ge 1" quickly became popular, others want to enter the crew can not enter, why should Wang Yan refuse?
Because before this, Wang Yan was already married, and her refusal to participate in the filming of "Huan Zhu Ge Ge 1" was related to her mother-in-law.
Wang Yan and her husband Wang Zhicai met in 1995.
One day, Wang Yan was suddenly called by the teacher to go on a blind date, but the conditions of the blind date object, the teacher did not want to disclose.
Wang Yan, who was only 21 years old at the time, originally did not want to go to this dinner, but the introducer was his own teacher after all, and it was inconvenient to push it, so he could only go hard.
After arriving at the scene, Wang Yan, who was not very happy, immediately began to retreat, because the man in front of her looked ordinary, old, and only picked and searched for a boiled cabbage.
Although the man enthusiastically asked Wang Yan to order some more dishes, Wang Yan was still not interested, and she felt in her heart that the other party had no money, so she only randomly ordered two cheap dishes, casually coped with eating for a while and left.
After the blind date, Wang Yan did not contact the man named Wang Zhicai, and a few days later, the teacher came to inquire, and after knowing the situation, he sighed and said that Wang Yan missed a good marriage.
Wang Yan was confused by the teacher's words, but she did not go to her heart, and as for the blind date Wang Zhicai, she had already been thrown out of the cloud of nine clouds by her.
Until one day, Wang Yan fell ill and was hospitalized, and suddenly received a large number of flowers in the ward, that things took a turn for the better.
It turned out that Wang Zhicai was not the "poor boy" that Wang Yan thought, but a successful real estate developer.
He is 11 years older than Wang Yan, and with the addition of his long history in the mall, he naturally appears mature, so his face is relatively old, and he looks like a figure of Wang Yan's father.
The reason why the teacher introduced Wang Zhicai to Wang Yan was because he saw the advantages of the other party's maturity and gold, and hoped that Wang Yan would find a good home as soon as possible.
Unexpectedly, Wang Yan did not look at each other at first glance, and Wang Zhicai was busy with his career after the blind date, until Wang Yan was ill and hospitalized for the first time.
However, Wang Zhicai had already fallen in love with Wang Yan at first sight, and from the day he sent flowers, he officially began to pursue, sending gifts to Wang Yan every three to five and taking her out to play.
Under the unremitting efforts of Wang Zhicai, Wang Yan was finally moved and gradually fell in love with this middle-aged man who was old enough to be her uncle.
But at this time, Wang Zhicai revealed one more thing to Wang Yan: he was divorced, and a son who was only 8 years younger than Wang Yan lived together.
It turned out that Wang Zhicai had gone south to Hong Kong to start a business in his early years, and in order to facilitate entrepreneurship, he married once there and gave birth to a son, who was only 19 years old when he was born.
This son of Wang Zhicai is Wang Shuo, one of the famous "Four Young Men in the Capital", and is friends with Jackie Chan's son Fang Zumin.
Wang Shuo, who was born in 1982, is only 8 years younger than Wang Yan, but she wants to call her stepmother, which makes Wang Yan accept it for a while.
But at that time, she had already fallen deeply in love with Wang Zhicai, and after some ideological struggle, Wang Yan finally accepted the reality of "being a stepmother as soon as she got married".
Wang Zhicai started a real estate business in Beijing very early, and when he met Wang Yan, he had expanded his business to Australia and was ready to settle there.
In 1997, Wang Yan and her boyfriend Wang Zhicai, who had been in love for two years, went through marriage procedures in Australia and officially became a couple.
A few months later, Wang Yan received an invitation from Qiong Yao to let her star in "Huan Zhu Ge Ge 1", but at this juncture, unfortunate news suddenly came from Beijing: the mother-in-law was going to have heart bypass surgery, and she named her new daughter-in-law Wang Yan to take care of her.
On the one hand is her dream role, on the other hand is her husband's mother, under this tangled choice, Wang Yan finally chose to take care of her mother-in-law.
Perhaps in her opinion, there are many opportunities in the career, but there is only one family, and it is worth sacrificing the career to complete the family.
At that time, it was reported that if Wang Yan had not rejected Qiong Yao, she would probably have played Ziwei in "Huan Zhu Ge Ge 1", that is, the role played by Lin Xinru later, if the rumors were true, then Wang Yan's sacrifice would not be small.
However, from the experience of other actresses marrying into the giants, the moment Wang Yan and Wang Zhicai received the license to marry, it was almost equivalent to announcing the end of her entertainment career.
Because the entertainment industry is no longer profitable than the business of the giants, and most of the giants are very concerned about their daughters-in-law showing their faces outside, so Wang Yan chooses to marry into the giants, which is equivalent to digging her own grave in her career.
Perhaps aware of this, even after becoming popular in 1999 for playing "Qing Gege", Wang Yan still did not focus on her career, but always revolved around her husband and mother-in-law.
Wang Yan's mother-in-law rules are very heavy, the ancestors are said to be "positive yellow flag", from childhood like to make people, Wang Yan married in the past, sometimes need to be like the ancient daughter-in-law filial piety to the mother-in-law.
Fortunately, the husband always stands on her side, even if the mother-in-law occasionally has difficulties, she will stand up in time to play round for his wife.
In 2000, Wang Zhicai, who was busy with business in Australia, took time to return to Beijing and held a grand wedding for his wife, Wang Yan, who had been married for three years.
Because Wang Yan rarely communicated with people in the "Huan Zhu" crew, and only became a year-old friend with Zhao Minfen, who played Lafayette, on the wedding day, Zhao Minfen became the only person in the "Huan Zhu" crew to congratulate.
In 2005, Wang Yan, who had been married for 8 years, finally became pregnant with a baby and gave birth to her son Qiu Qiu (daimyo Wang Hongqin) the following year.
After the birth of his son, Wang Zhicai, who became a father again, was so excited that he gave his wife three gifts in a row: a priceless diamond ring, a Porsche luxury car, and a mansion with a market value of more than 100 million yuan in Beijing Wangfu Century.
Since 2006, she was sitting on a mansion worth more than 100 million yuan, Wang Yan became the envy of people in the circle for a while.
Some people are even more blunt: Wang Yan married a real estate tycoon, and she does not need to work in the future, as long as she is a full-time wife.
In fact, since giving birth to her son, Wang Yan has almost become a full-time wife, and the focus of her life has always been on her son Wang Hongqin.
In the following ten years, Wang Yan will occasionally make cameo appearances in some film and television dramas, most of the time, used to accompany her son, sometimes participate in variety shows, and also bring her son.
As she grows older, Wang Yan's hope of becoming popular in the entertainment industry is becoming more and more slim, but she obviously does not care about this when she has a rich life and a harmonious and happy family.
What makes Wang Yan even happier is that at the beginning of marriage, her mother-in-law, who often made things difficult for her, gradually accepted her, and even cooked for her in turn, taking care of her like a mother taking care of her daughter.
Now 48 years old, Wang Yan, her husband is still successful in her career, her son is about to grow up, and she can continue to have huge popularity with the role of "Qing Gege" 23 years ago.
Such a life, is it "happy and happy" can be described? Those in the circle who envy Wang Yan's married life are certainly not difficult to understand.
