There was once a post-85 "popular flower dan" who was always ridiculed by netizens as "silly and sweet", criticized for having no acting skills, and was always "eating the old book".
She is one of the "Olympic babies" in the closing ceremony of the Athens Olympics "Beijing 8 Minutes", and she became an instant hit with "The Legend of Sword and Fairy 3", which is popular all over the country, she is Tang Yan.
After becoming famous, she was criticized for always playing some "silly white sweet" roles, and later subverted her image, sharpened her sword for 3 years, and relied on "Flowers" to prove that she was not only a "silly white sweet" but also a powerful faction.
From "Olympic Baby" to "85 Hua Dan", and then to "Silly White Sweet", and finally relied on "Flowers" to fight a beautiful "turnaround", what has Tang Yan experienced over the years?
Tang Yan was born on December 6, 1983 in Huangpu District, Shanghai, with very good family conditions, and her parents are also very fond of this only daughter, basically responding to requests.
Tang Yan's original dream was not to be a star, but to be a flight attendant, and she also went to the flight attendant class, but she didn't expect to be eliminated because of her weak physical fitness, and her parents encouraged her to participate in the "3rd Shulei Century Star" beauty pageant in order to regain her self-confidence.
Unexpectedly, Tang Yan won the championship all the way with her 172cm height and beautiful appearance, which also made Tang Yan like the big stage that was noticed.

God rewards hard work, and she soon ushered in her own life opportunities.
In 2004, the great director Zhang Yimou went to the Chinese opera to select the "Olympic baby" of the closing ceremony of the Athens Olympic Games, Tang Yan got this opportunity with her innocence, and Tang Yan wore a cheongsam and held an erhu at the closing ceremony, which "added" a lot to her resume.
After graduating in 2006, Tang Yan was also recommended to Wu Kebo, the boss of Orange Sky Entertainment, because of Zhang Yimou's appreciation, Orange Sky Entertainment was one of the "big guys" in the entertainment industry at that time, and Tang Yan's star career was bright.

After meeting Wang Jing, Tang Yan has the posture of becoming a "Jing girl", Wang Jing arranged a lot of opportunities for her, but Wang Jing's movies will inevitably have a lot of fragrant and glamorous scenes, which is also one of the "black materials" that Tang Yan was picked up after becoming famous.
But it is undeniable that Wang Jing has brought Tang Yan a lot of things, although she is not famous, her network accumulation cannot be ignored, and she also met the noble person in her life - agent Ji Rujing.
Ji Rujing was very optimistic about this "love at first sight" girl, and signed Tang Yan without hesitation, and arranged for Tang Yan to leave the declining Hong Kong circle and move to the mainland.
Ji Rujing won the IP drama "The Legend of Sword and Fairy 3" for Tang Yan, and Tang Yan herself also competed and played the cold, mysterious and gentle "Zixuan", and she also became popular all over the country with this role.
This drama also reversed Tang Yan's life, she washed away Wang Jing's "brand" and became the "white moonlight" in the eyes of the audience.

In 2023, "Flowers" will detonate the drama circle as soon as it is broadcast, becoming a hit of the year, and Tang Yan also showed another side of herself to the audience.
In the play, she played the role of "Miss Wang", she was different from her previous subversive performances, making people forget the original "silly white sweet", some people should not have scolded so loudly before apologizing, some people praised her for her successful transformation, and some people expected her to win the trophy.
In the play, "Miss Wang" is like a spring breeze's smiling face, and her simple and vigorous vitality heralds the beginning of another period of Tang Yan's life.
The eternal upward momentum in her body and the expectation of the future will give her a "higher" future.
