Although Wang Yan has bid farewell to the stage of the entertainment industry for many years, the reputation of "Qing Gege" is still often mentioned at the same time as Liu Tao's name. Although the trajectories of the two of them are quite similar, they have finally chosen diametrically opposite paths.
Now it is not what it used to be, Liu Tao has become one of the top stars, shining brightly in the entertainment industry, but Wang Yan's life has fallen into many difficulties, as if she has entered the lowest point of her life.
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, in 2019, when Wang Yan participated in the variety show "Ace vs. Ace", the reunion with "Lafayette" Zhao Minfen once again awakened the audience's good memories of the classic TV series "Huanzhu Gege".
However, unexpectedly, just a few months later, the restaurants run by her husband Wang Zhicai closed one after another, and he himself was deeply involved in a gambling debt dispute of up to S$14 million (equivalent to about 69 million yuan).
In an instant, Wang Yan fell from the peak of a wealthy lady to the abyss of life. Her face was filled with helplessness and confusion, and her once beautiful face was also shrouded in a haze of exhaustion.
Relatives and friends around her persuaded her to give up and spend the rest of her life in peace and hold on to the rest of her family business. However, Wang Yan's eyes were as firm as a torch, and she resolutely decided to follow Liu Tao's example, return to the entertainment industry, repay her husband's debts with her own efforts, and welcome the light again.
Since then, Wang Yan has started a busy life day and night, running between the set and the journey. The expectation of the camera in her eyes is full of persistence and tenacity. Although the years have passed and the years have left marks on her face, she still cherishes the dream of starting anew.
In the face of reporters' non-verbal questions - "Why did you choose to make a comeback?", "Is it to pay off your husband's debts?", "Do you regret marrying into a wealthy family in the first place?", Wang Yan just responded indifferently: "We still have a long way to go. The subtle tone contained in this sentence reveals her firm belief in the future.
Looking back on Wang Yan's past, her love for art can be said to have been deeply rooted since the beginning of her gestation. Her father was a violinist and had an immense fascination with the art of music. Every night, he would always pick up the violin and play a melodious serenade for the young Wang Yan, accompanying her into sweet sleep with a beautiful melody.
After the precipitation and infiltration of time, the seeds of art slowly sprouted and grew in the depths of Wang Yan's soul. When she was six years old, her father sent her to school with great expectations for systematic vocal training. However, what is surprising is that Wang Yan's inquisitive heart seems to prefer those uninhibited and elegant dancers on the stage, especially for light and beautiful dance ballet.
Luckily, her talent was keenly noticed by a discerning teacher who did not hesitate to introduce her to an expert in the field of dance. Since then, Wang Yan has been like a fledgling eagle, tirelessly honing herself in the dance studio, and showing her endless love for art. Her hard work finally paid off, and at the age of nineteen, a recommendation from a teacher changed the course of her life forever.
She was favored by the Beijing Dance Academy, a palace of art, and embarked on a new journey to art. In just a few years, Wang Yan became famous for her outstanding performance of the role of "Qing Gege" in the costume drama "Huanzhu Gege", her fresh and refined appearance, intellectual and elegant temperament, made the audience fall in love with it, and it can be called a classic in the history of Chinese costume dramas.
Since then, she has become a well-known generation of youth idols, and her popularity is even comparable to that of "Fucha Queen" Hawick Lau. In 1995, after graduating from the Beijing Dance Academy, Wang Yan was assigned to the Railway Art Troupe. However, who would have thought that a teacher's kind introduction would inadvertently lead her on another path in life.
That year, the teacher suddenly came to her door and said that he wanted to introduce her to an outstanding boyfriend. Although Wang Yan was slightly puzzled in her heart, out of respect for the teacher, she reluctantly agreed. However, the object of the teacher's high recommendation was a middle-aged man who was 11 years older than Wang Yan - Wang Zhicai.
Initially, Wang Yan didn't have much affection for this passionate suitor. However, Wang Zhicai fell in love with her at first sight and persevered in her pursuit for nearly a year. Just when Wang Yan gradually became moved, she was shocked to realize that this ordinary-looking man was actually a business tycoon with a net worth of hundreds of millions. In order to create a better future with Wang Yan, Wang Zhicai even decisively gave up a business worth hundreds of millions of yuan.
In 1997, under Wang Zhicai's enthusiastic pursuit, Wang Yan finally chose to marry this rich man who was 11 years older than herself, and followed him to Australia to start a new chapter in her life.
The road to a wealthy family is by no means smooth, and Wang Yan must go all out to seek the approval of her future in-laws. It is unbelievable that Wang Zhicai's mother was born in the Qing Dynasty aristocracy and is extremely conservative!
In the initial stage, this Qing Dynasty boutique was worth a lot of money, and he was very strict with Wang Yan, and even asked her to do laundry and housework herself, and even spread rumors about washing her mother-in-law's feet. Wang Yan endured humiliation and endured everything with tears, just to win the favor of her mother-in-law.
Fortunately, her mother-in-law later suffered from a serious illness, and under Wang Yan's careful care, she finally changed her attitude and accepted this "outsider" to join the Wang family.
However, getting along with his stepson Wang Shuo is even more difficult. The two are of similar age, and Wang Shuo often regards Wang Yan as an "enemy". An unintentional remark touched Wang Shuo's sensitive nerves, and he gave Wang Yan a resounding slap in the face.
Fortunately, Wang Yan resolved Wang Shuo's hostility with a broad mind and finally won his respect. Since then, she is no longer just a "stepmother", but as close as a brother and sister to Wang Shuo.
In 2006, Wang Yan was officially promoted to the hostess of the Wang family, and was happy to add Lin'er "Qiuqiu".
Suddenly stepping into the life of a wealthy family, Wang Yan faced many unprecedented challenges. As the mistress of the royal family, her status is subordinate to the men in the family. This will undoubtedly arouse the dissatisfaction and disgust of "Qiuqiu", this little life who has just come to the world often accuses his mother with the words "squandering family wealth", and his eyes are full of contempt and disdain.
The contradiction between "Qiuqiu" and Wang Yan largely stems from the completely different educational concepts of Wang Zhicai and his wife. Wang Yan advocates strict requirements for children, while Wang Zhicai dotes on her.
In the depths of the immature heart of "Qiuqiu", the status of the mother is minimal, and the money in the hands of the father is a symbol of power.
In order to correct the stubborn and domineering character of "Qiuqiu", Wang Yan tirelessly guided him. She did her best to take her son to participate in various rural practice activities, so that he could experience the hardships of life firsthand.
After tempering again and again, "Qiuqiu" gradually began to understand her mother's bitterness and suffering, and her relationship with Wang Yan became more and more intimate.
However, just as the relationship between mother and son gradually eased, the fate of the Wang family changed dramatically. Mr. Wang Zhicai's restaurants have closed their doors, and he himself has incurred a huge gambling debt of up to 69 million yuan.
Wang Yan, who was expecting to be able to retire leisurely in this luxurious mansion, suddenly fell into the predicament of life, as if she was in a deep quagmire of pain and helplessness. Her immature face was full of the pressure and pain of life, and her eyes became dull. Relatives and friends advised her to give up the struggle, accept the arrangement of fate, and protect the few remaining family assets with peace of mind for the rest of her life. However, Wang Yan never wavered in the slightest, and she was determined to pay off all her debts for her husband and welcome a hopeful future again.
When faced with her husband's debt crisis, Wang Yan resolutely regained her once brilliant career and embarked on a "comeback road" similar to Liu Tao. However, unlike Liu Tao, Wang Yan has been away from the screen for many years, and no one cares about her and is struggling is her real situation. When she stepped on the set again, Wang Yan was full of emotion in her heart. It has been more than ten years since she stood in front of the camera for the last time. At that time, she was a peerless "Qing Gege", fresh and refined, intellectual and gentle, and she was a youth idol in the eyes of the audience;
When the director and staff on the set saw Wang Yan, they all sighed for the situation of this former "noblewoman" today. Some people shook their heads and sighed sympathetically, and some people poured out words of comfort with pity, but Wang Yan just smiled slightly and said calmly: "These are all the encounters and choices in my past and present lives. Reporters gathered around her and asked her, "Why did you choose to make a comeback?" "Is it to pay off your husband's debts?" "Do you regret marrying into a wealthy family in the first place?" Wang Yan looked firm, and she said slowly: "We still have a long way to go. There is a persistent tenacity in her words.
Indeed, in the face of all kinds of difficulties, Wang Yan did not choose to escape or give up, but bravely faced the difficulties and moved forward firmly. She ran around the set and on the road day and night, sometimes staring at the camera thoughtfully, sometimes gently smoothing her sweat-soaked hair, and her tired but resilient expression was deeply imprinted in everyone's eyes. The director and staff were all moved when they saw Wang Yan working so hard. A director sighed to the people next to him: "Have you seen her? From that wealthy family to today's downfall, but still gritting her teeth and persevering, it is really admirable!"
