1. Wang Zulan's road to success
In the initial stage, Wong Cho-lam was just a silent actor, playing an insignificant supporting role in Hong Kong TV dramas. However, his natural and laugh-inducing sense of humor makes him stand out in the process of participating in variety shows.
His impromptu performance on the scene always attracted laughter from the audience, and also made Wang Zulan inadvertently win wide attention.
In fact, before this, Wang Zulan had already become acquainted with his wife Li Yanan. An accidental TVB barbecue party became the starting point of their fate journey. At that time, Wang Zulan fell in love with Li Yanan, a beautiful woman with outstanding looks who once won the Miss Chinese championship.
On the pretext of "learning a Cantonese accent", he actively approached her and frequently invited her to have in-depth conversations.
Although he felt inferior at first due to the huge difference in appearance and height between the two, Wang Zulan was not discouraged by this. On the contrary, through his unremitting pursuit, he finally won Li Yanan's heart.
Subsequently, they experienced a three-year separation, which also posed a severe test for their relationship. However, three years later, they came together again and strengthened their belief in each other's love.
In 2015, Wang Zulan and Li Yanan held a grand and romantic wedding, and the scene was like a fairy tale. In order to fulfill his wife's dream of becoming a princess, he did not hesitate to spend a lot of money to charter the entire Hong Kong Disneyland, and carefully crafted the theme into a moving story of Snow White and the Prince.
The bride of the day, Li Yanan, was undoubtedly like a real princess, immersed in the ocean of happiness.
Since then, Wang Zulan has been labeled as a "spoiled wife". He has publicly stated that he is willing to hand over all his property of up to hundreds of millions of yuan to his wife Li Yanan for management.
This affectionate friendship of "treating his wife as life" once made the outside world praise him and respected him as a "peerless good man" in the entertainment industry.
However, this seemingly perfect character collapsed in an instant in a family variety show. When his wife was pregnant, Wang Zulan yelled at her for trivial things, and spoke harshly.
In their communication and dialogue, he showed his conservative side, advocating that his wife should be "bound" at home, playing the traditional concept of "good wife and good mother".
This view has caused great controversy, forming a strong contrast with the image he has previously established, which has aroused doubts and criticism from all walks of life.
2. Accumulation and expansion of wealth
At the beginning of his roots in the mainland market, Wang Zulan's salary and income could only maintain an upper-middle level, and he had not yet established the super popularity and popularity he has today, so it was difficult to gain a foothold in the fierce market competition.
However, as time flies, Wang Zulan gradually adjusted his strategy and focused his career on the short video platform, an emerging money-absorbing weapon, on this stage, his unique humorous talent can be fully displayed, and each live broadcast can attract enthusiastic rewards and virtual gifts from many netizens, according to people familiar with the matter, sometimes the income can be as high as more than 4 million yuan in just one night!.
There is no doubt that Wang Zulan's performance on the short video platform is invincible and has gained a lot. Someone made a preliminary estimate, and his hourly wage even reached a staggering million-level height.
Because of this, in recent years, he has begun to reduce the frequency of participating in variety shows and devote more energy to excavating this new "gold mountain".
At the same time, Wang Zulan has also made remarkable achievements in the field of real estate investment. Not only has he successfully invested in a number of properties in Hong Kong and Mainland China, but he also has a unique insight into his own financial operations.
Whether it is rental income or real estate appreciation, he can achieve efficient use of funds, and some people jokingly call him "buying a house like buying vegetables", which shows his love and dedication to this field.
The accumulation of wealth has made Wang Zulan more generous. He had already carefully formulated a will for his beloved wife Li Yanan, and donated all his property worth hundreds of millions of yuan to her.
This "favorite wife" move once impressed the outside world with him, praising him as a "peerless good man" in the entertainment industry.
However, this image of a "good guy" has been challenged on family reality shows. When his wife was pregnant, he went so far as to reprimand her loudly and indoctrinate her with his own conservative ideas.
This behavior forms a strong contrast with the previous image of "spoiled wife and madness", causing people to question his true feelings.
3. Entanglement with TVB
At the beginning, Wang Zulan chose to join TVB and serve as a creative officer, completely out of deep friendship with his best friend Zeng Zhiwei. At that time, Zeng Zhiwei had just been appointed as the general manager of TVB, and he deeply felt that the company had many problems in operation and management, and it was urgent to improve the competitiveness of the company through reform and innovation.
In the face of this situation, Wang Zulan resolutely invited his old friend, known as the king of comedy who is known as the leader in the comedy industry, Wang Zulan, looking forward to this big name with infinite talent and passion to inject new innovative thinking and endless vitality into TVB.
In the early stage, Wang Zulan was full of enthusiasm and hoped to promote the vigorous development of TVB with his unique humorous talent. However, the reality is always cruel and unforgiving, and in his year-long tenure as a creative officer, he has not been able to achieve significant results, and TVB's overall situation has not improved significantly.
What's worse is that at a pivotal awards ceremony, fierce disputes and conflicts broke out between Wang Zulan and Zhong Jiaxin and other senior leaders, which made the relationship between the two sides fall to a freezing point in an instant.
In the end, Wang Zulan had to give up and chose to leave the former stage of TVB, away from this seemingly gorgeous but restrictive cage.
Although this resignation seems a bit hasty, it is a choice made in desperation. After all, if it weren't for the deep friendship with Zeng Zhiwei, he might have gone far away. The previous contradictions with TVB veterans such as Le Yiling and Zeng Lizhen have long been foreshadowed, and this conflict is just the fuse that detonates the contradictions.
It is interesting to note that after leaving TVB, Wang Zulan does not seem to have a grudge against the former owner. In an interview with the media, he was sincere and hoped that TVB would be able to get out of the predicament and regain its glory.
Is this out of deep friendship with Zeng Zhiwei, or is it pure kindness?
4. The dark side of married life
In the eyes of everyone, Wang Zulan has always been a model of "spoiled wife" and "good man". Whether it was the unprecedented Disney dream wedding, or the impassioned promise to give all his hundreds of millions of assets to his wife in a variety show, his every move was touching and full of praise.
However, who would have expected that behind the image of this "favorite wife", what is hidden is the "mask" in his heart. When his wife Li Yanan was pregnant, Wang Zulan's performance in the family variety show was jaw-dropping - he roared at his wife and was harsh, just because of some trivial matters.
In the course of the conversation between the two, Wang Zulan forcibly instilled his conservative concept to his wife. He firmly believed that a good wife should be "imprisoned" in the home and become a "virtuous helper" who was traditionally obedient to her husband.
Such a view has undoubtedly sparked great controversy, and is in stark contrast to the perfect image he had previously created in front of the public.
When we saw this shocking scene, the public couldn't help but be deeply worried about Wang Zulan's sincere feelings for his wife. Is he genuinely in love with his wife? Or do you just want to keep the other person firmly in your own hands? Behind this seemingly happy marriage, there seems to be an imperceptible dark side.
This taming method and PUA's remarks can't help but remind people of his passionate pursuit of his wife in the first place. In order to be able to get close to Li Yanan, Wang Zulan used "learning Cantonese" as an excuse to contact her frequently, does this contain the intention of taming her? It seems that there may be a deeper reason behind the "doting" behavior he showed to his wife.
5. A new path after leaving TVB
Since leaving TVB, Wang Zulan's development direction has been attracting attention and speculation from the outside world. Although he already has a certain reputation in the mainland market, after all, he is still in the lower middle of the middle, and there is undoubtedly a huge challenge to achieve a breakthrough here.
However, there is one fact that is beyond doubt, that is, Wang Zulan has accumulated a lot of wealth on the short video platform. The lavish Disney wedding earlier cost him a lot of money.
However, he doesn't care about it anymore.
Because according to the reward sharing of short video live broadcasts, Wang Zulan's financial resources can be said to be extinct. According to people familiar with the matter, his income alone reached more than 4 million yuan overnight, not to mention that he has other ways to make profits, such as bringing goods.
Some people even roughly estimated that Wang Zulan's hourly salary had already exceeded one million and became a veritable "local tyrant".
It is no wonder that in recent years, he has begun to significantly reduce the frequency of variety show recordings, and devote more time and energy to this emerging industry that can be called "money rolling in".
With such strong financial strength, whether he chooses to continue to stay in the entertainment industry in the future or transform into a successful businessman, he will not encounter any obstacles.
Although Wang Zulan is now worth more than 100 million yuan, he does not use all the money for his own enjoyment. On the contrary, he had already made a will for his wife Li Yanan, and handed over all his property to her for management.
This act of "favoring his wife" once impressed him by the outside world, and regarded him as a rare "good man" in the entertainment industry.
However, this "good guy" mask collapsed in an instant in a family variety show! While his wife was pregnant, he went so far as to relentlessly accuse her loudly, and even instilled in her his own ultra-conservative idea that his wife should be "imprisoned" at home.
This act is in stark contrast to the image created before, and one cannot help but wonder how sincere it is in his heart.
In the face of public doubts, Wang Zulan remained silent and never gave a positive response. However, looking at his arduous journey along the way, it is not difficult to find that his success does not stem from deception and disguise, but from his dedication and diligence.
Looking forward to the future, no matter what path he chooses, this diligent and down-to-earth quality will surely accompany him. Some people praised Wang Zulan as "a laughing point" and a "comedy rookie". On the variety show stage, his witty, humorous, funny and witty performance brought endless laughter to the audience.
However, when the camera turns to his private life, controversy ensues. Emotional things are like drinking water, cold and warm self-knowing. Although there are many doubts about the way Wang Zulan and his wife get along, we firmly believe that they must have their own way of getting along with each other, because only the parties can truly understand the subtleties of their feelings.
So, will Wang Zulan hand over all his hundreds of millions of assets to his wife Li Yanan as promised? How much is the authenticity of this "spoiled wife"? Perhaps, only time will reveal the answer to this question.
However, judging from his journey along the way, success should be more due to his dedication and diligence than to deception and disguise.
As for where he will go and how he will develop, we can only wait and see. Whether he continues to break through in the entertainment industry or transforms into the heir of a family business, I believe that diligent and pragmatic quality will always be with him.
Who would have thought that the former "comedy boys" would one day shine brightly in a new field?
