In 2010, the much-anticipated "Country Love 3" premiered on CCTV's prime time.
When the audience turned on the TV with anticipation, they found that "Wang Xiaomeng" had changed.
Where has "Wang Xiaomeng" gone, 13 years have passed, is she doing well now?
Bonded with film and television because of dance
Wang Yabin is indeed famous for the simple but daring "Wang Xiaomeng" in "Country Love".
But in fact, Zhao Benshan is not the first Bole on Wang Yabin's life path.
In 1998, the opera "Turandot" directed by Zhang Yimou was grandly performed in Beijing Taimiao.
The scale is grand and the lineup is luxurious, which can be said to be unprecedented.
In the slightly crowded crowd on the stage, 14-year-old Wang Yabin stood there beautifully.
This is the first time she has stood on such a grand stage.
In addition to excitement, there is also nervousness.
Fortunately, the show ended perfectly.
Eh, some viewers may be curious, why did Wang Yabin appear here?
As we all know, Zhang Yimou is particularly fond of using dancers.
Throughout those well-known "conspiracy girls", most of them have dance skills.
Coincidentally, Wang Yabin also studied dance.
Wang Yabin was born in 1984 to a working family in Tianjin.
Because she was weak and sick since childhood, for the sake of her daughter's health and cultivating her literary and artistic literacy by the way, her parents signed her up for an amateur dance training class.
Unexpectedly, Wang Yabin's dancing talent is surprisingly high.
Even the teacher who taught her felt that Wang Yabin was a little talented in this amateur dance class.
Wang Yabin's parents took the initiative to suggest that their children apply for the Affiliated High School of Beijing Dance Academy.
Both parents are ordinary salaried people, the tuition of the dance academy is not low, and there is no bottom in their hearts about whether their daughter can be admitted, so they asked nervously: "Can this child do it?" ”
The teacher is full of confidence in Wang Yabin: "I am not 100% sure, but the probability of being able to pass the exam is at least 90%. ”
With the teacher's affirmation, Wang Yabin's parents gritted their teeth and enrolled their child in the Beijing Dance Academy Affiliated Middle School.
Wang Yabin did not disappoint them and was successfully admitted to Beiwu High School.
This year, Wang Yabin had just turned nine years old.
At a young age, she came to a strange city alone to learn dance.
Wang Yabin's mother was very worried, but forced by livelihood, the couple could only stay in Tianjin to work.
What's more, the husband and wife are still single days off, and only one Sunday can be used to see their daughter.
Every Sunday, the couple wakes up early in the morning to catch the train.
Wang Yabin knows that his parents work hard and never let them worry.
Until a chance chance, the mother saw how her daughter practiced in the dance class, and the practice clothes were soaked after the whole class, and the mother was so distressed that she burst into tears.
Wang Yabin used his little hand to wipe away the tear stains on his mother's face, and said to her seriously:
"Mom, I like this, I will definitely stick to it and learn to be famous."
It is precisely because of such hard work that Wang Yabin was selected by Zhang Yimou to perform on stage.
After participating in "Turandot", Wang Yabin starred in the dance drama "Lingling Changting", and then was sent to the National Dance Drama Department of Beijing Dance Academy.
It can be said that a sunshine road has slowly unfolded in front of Wang Yabin.
In 2003, Wang Yabin appeared on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala for the first time and performed the dance "Lion Dance Oriental".
When Wang Yabin stood on the stage and performed hard, a person noticed her, and the appearance of this person will add a strong touch to her life.
This person is Zhao Benshan.
Participated in "Country Love", which made her widely known
At that time, Zhao Benshan was preparing to shoot "Country Love", and he already had a prototype in his heart, and Wang Yabin's overall image was particularly in line with the young woman selling tofu in Zhao Benshan's heart.
After the performance, the two left contact information for each other.
Later, "Country Love" officially started, but the choice of "Wang Xiaomeng" made Zhao Benshan difficult, and he felt that it was inappropriate after interviewing many people, and Wang Yabin was the most suitable for thinking about it.
Zhao Benshan found Wang Yabin and asked her if she was interested in auditioning.
At this time, Wang Yabin had just participated in "Ambush on Ten Sides" directed by Zhang Yimou.
She played Zhang Ziyi's "dance double" in the movie.
After the movie was broadcast, it was widely praised, and Wang Yabin also felt honored.
She also has a lot of interest in the film and television industry in her heart, coupled with Zhao Benshan's warm invitation, Wang Yabin has no reason to refuse.
After trying the play, Zhao Benshan nodded with satisfaction and said:
"Well, I think she is most like Wang Xiaomeng, who sells tofu."
In this way, Wang Xiaomeng's casting was finalized.
After the broadcast of "Country Love", it received rave reviews, and Wang Yabin, who was not from a professional class, was praised by the audience one after another, saying that she played a real rural girl.
But during the filming of the third season, the familiar "Wang Xiaomeng" disappeared.
For a while, opinions diverged.
In particular, the rumors that she and Zhao Benshan fell out were even more popular.
But these speculations are not the truth of the matter.
After filming two "Country Love", Wang Yabin wanted to continue to improve his acting skills, so he applied for a graduate student at the Beijing Film Academy.
During the Northern Shadow, Wang Yabin was busy like a spinning top.
In addition to the daily classes, Wang Yabin also finds time to practice dance, and when he is fine, he also enters the crew to film.
But there are ways to have both.
As she nears graduation, a cruel choice arrives.
Dreams and bread, how she will decide
"A Midsummer Night's Dream" created by the Beijing Film Academy is about to start, and it is naturally difficult for her to get out as a dance and performance.
But on the other hand, "Country Love" is also about to start filming.
Wang Yabin hesitated again and again, but still chose dance.
This is what she has spent her life doing, and acting is just a hobby of herself.
In her own words: "Whether it's on the stage of dance drama or on the TV screen, there are a few remarkable artistic images there, which I think is a very good thing." ”
Leaving an audience recognition of "Wang Xiaomeng" on the screen is enough for her.
Since there is no connection with the role of "Wang Xiaomeng", there is no need to regret, you can do yourself well.
In 2009, Wang Yabin performed the dance "A Midsummer Night's Dream" as the lead actor at the Edinburgh Theatre Festival.
In 2010, she performed the dance "Game" on the Spring Festival Gala. Later, the music and dance poem "Heavenly Heaven" was put on the stage of the Great Hall of the People.
Of course, Wang Yabin did not completely give up acting.
In 2011, she was still working on Hello! Mr. Tree" made a cameo appearance as the sister-in-law of "Tree".
It's just that his work is getting busier and busier, and gradually, there is no time to make guest appearances as actors.
Although his dance career is thriving, he has also won many awards.
But Wang Yabin's popularity is not as good as before.
Wang Yabin is very calm and still immersed in polishing his dance works.
Finally, she waited for the opportunity to get people to know her again.
A "Tsing Yi" made her famous in a battle
In 2014, Wang Yabin appeared on the stage of the National Centre for the Performing Arts with his dance work "Tsing Yi".
Once it was broadcast, the results were extraordinary, and some people even sent a long article affirming this "Tsing Yi".
Praised this dance drama for its both details and ingenuity, the more you look back, the more you can feel the unwillingness and helplessness of the characters.
2017 was an unforgettable year for Wang Yabin.
In 2016, she was invited to contribute to the National Ballet of England's The Says · M-Dao" choreography.
A year later, the British National Ballet edited Wang Yabin's She Said· M-Dao" and "New Gilsey" won the Stage Arts Olivier Award for "Outstanding Achievement in Stage".
Wang Yabin also became the first Chinese to participate in the creation of the Olivier Award.
Perhaps many people have no concept of this award, in short, it is the "Oscar" of the dance industry.
In June 2017, the modern dance drama "Tsing Yi" was staged at the Israel Opera House.
This performance is of great significance and is one of the important projects to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and Israel.
It is said that after the performance, a middle-aged woman in her forties went backstage to find Wang Yabin and said to her with tears in her eyes: "You are the one who dances with me."
The success of "Tsing Yi" made Wang Yabin's dream come true, and also allowed her to complete her transformation from dancer to dancer.
Facing the camera, she humbly said:
"I am a lucky dancer, I chose dance, and dance chose me."
Perhaps for Wang Yabin, dance has long been not a craft used to support his family, but an inseparable part of life.
She chose to become a dancer, and dance pushed her to a higher position.
Because of this, after fading the aura of "Wang Xiaomeng", Wang Yabin was able to make a name for himself again in just a few years.
After the success of "Tsing Yi", Wang Yabin did not stop there.
In 2022, Wang Yabin rehearsed the dance drama "Weishan Lake" with another dancer Yin Xiaotian in the program "Heroes in the Poster" broadcast by CCTV.
After that episode was broadcast, Wang Yabin's popularity rose again.
In order to live up to the love of the audience, Wang Yabin said that he would redouble his efforts and strive to create more excellent works.
In May 2023, Wang Yabin brought his new work "Swan, Different Stories" to meet the audience.
Only this time it premiered in Switzerland.
Watching China's outstanding dancers being recognized by the world, people applauded one after another.
Not only is the dance road smoother, Wang Yabin also shoots short videos about dance in his spare time.
Now it has also gained nearly 800,000 fans on the short video platform.
As netizens said: Ivory Mountain can do without Wang Xiaomeng, but the dance world cannot do without Wang Yabin.
This is the case, without Wang Yabin in Ivory Mountain, there will be the next "Wang Xiaomeng".
But if there is no Wang Yabin in the dance world, when will the next Wang Yabin appear?
End
Wang Yabin can see too many symbols related to success: talent, effort, luck and choice...
Which of these factors is more important seems difficult to say.
In fact, in the final analysis, it is still necessary to choose the right direction, the wrong direction, no amount of effort will be in vain.
