1. Ordinary in the past, glorious today!
2022 is undoubtedly a year of great significance for Wang Lihan. She won the highest honor for Best Actress at two prestigious international film festivals in Prague and Seoul.
Thinking of this, we can't help but sigh that this is undoubtedly the greatest affirmation and praise for her firm belief and unremitting efforts over the years.
Looking back, she was an unknown "shadow", sheltering others from the wind and rain behind the screen. However, now this girl from an ordinary background has transformed into a recognized powerful actor in the industry, and has become a model for countless younger generations to follow.
Looking back on Wang Lihan's acting career, her experience is like a drop of water, after many hardships, she can finally precipitate her own bright light. From being a stuntman who was initially forgotten behind the screen to now shining in the spotlight, she has achieved a gorgeous turn in life with her perseverance and never-say-die fighting spirit.
For every role, Wang Lihan is fully committed and carefully carved. Whether it is the unforgettable Master Mo Yan in "The Legend of Zhen Huan", or the natural Tian Xiaojuan in "Parents' Love", she has created the characters vividly.
Audiences may not remember her name, but her image on the screen has long been deeply imprinted in people's hearts.
Success is not easy to achieve, all glory comes from hard work. With her own practice, Wang Lihan perfectly interprets this eternal truth. Although she is only a "supporting role" and a "familiar face", her achievements have long exceeded the imagination of ordinary people.
2. The seeds of dreams and the selfless support of family members
Wang Lihan, who was born in an ordinary family, has had the dream of becoming an actor since she was a child. Although her appearance is not impressive, her passion for acting has not changed.
Although the family is not wealthy, they have always been open to Wang Lihan's dream, not only did not hinder her, but went all out to support and encourage her. Her parents' words and deeds gave her the courage and determination to pursue her dreams.
After graduating from high school, Wang Lihan was finally admitted to a well-known university in Beijing for broadcasting and hosting. During her time at school, she diligently participated in various drama performances, and also began to get involved in some part-time dubbing work, thus accumulating rich stage experience.
Wang Lihan's college career seems ordinary, but her heart is full of joy and joy. She is passionate about being involved in all aspects of campus life, exploring the unknown and preparing herself for the future.
However, after leaving the ivory tower, Wang Lihan, who had the dream of being an actor, quickly faced the cruel first experience of society.
The road to job hunting after graduation was not a smooth one, and Wang Lihan encountered numerous setbacks. In the face of the persuasion of relatives and friends, she often fell into confusion in her heart, but her persistent belief in her dreams has always been consistent.
She decided to chase her dreams with her own practical actions, even if she had to endure doubts and cold eyes from the outside world.
3. Opportunity and beginning
In order to make ends meet, Wang Lihan had to accept a job as a docent at a museum. However, she did not give up her dream because of this, but actively joined the amateur drama troupe in her spare time, diligently honing her acting skills, and looking forward to realizing her dream one day.
A chance chance completely changed the trajectory of Wang Lihan's life. One day, a TV drama crew visited the museum for filming. Wang Lihan plucked up the courage to take the initiative to recommend herself to the director, and boldly recited a line.
Although it was only a spur of the moment at first, she succeeded in revealing the inner world of the character and won high praise from the director.
Although Wang Lihan is only an unintroduced stranger and lacks formal acting experience, the director sees a unique talent and courage in her. After a moment of contemplation, the director finally agreed to her request to play the role of the female number two in the play.
When she put on her long-desired costume and stood in front of the camera, Wang Lihan's heart was full of endless gratitude. It's not easy for a newcomer to get such an opportunity.
This also amazed the director at her natural and smooth performance in front of the camera, without the slightest tension and restraint of the newcomer.
After the filming was completed, perhaps out of appreciation for her talent and a kind reminder, the director couldn't help but say more: "I think you have a lot of talent, if you really love acting, you might as well consider becoming an actor."
This short sentence is like a sharp arrow piercing the clouds, which strengthens Wang Lihan's determination to pursue her dreams.
So, she resolutely mustered up the courage, resolutely put down her job as a commentator, and went to Hengdian, Beijing without hesitation, thus embarking on a long and arduous journey to pursue her dreams, and she chose to become one of the tens of thousands of actors.
Fourth, the twists and turns on the road to pursuing dreams
Since arriving in Hengdian, Beijing, Wang Lihan has completely devoted herself to the endless career of running tricks. The road is undoubtedly full of bumps and bumps, and the treatment is like a world of difference compared to those stars who have already made a name for themselves.
However, even in the face of such a harsh environment, Wang Lihan has never had the slightest intention of retreating. Every time she participates in the shooting, she is always the most active and energetic on the scene.
This may be a common occurrence for onlookers, who have had that passionate, ambitious mindset in the early stages.
Before and after the emergence of well-known artists such as Wang Baoqiang and Zhao Liying, a large number of young people with dreams flocked to Hengdian every year, but in the end they could only leave with disappointment.
They always believe that they will be the one and the other, but the reality is often cruel and unforgiving, they just waste their time, consume precious youth, wear out the last enthusiasm, and then leave the scene lonely with the wreckage of their dreams.
However, immediately after that, another group of enthusiastic young people poured in like a tide, and so on, year after year.
Therefore, when Wang Lihan is concentrating on the sense of the camera, expression management and line skills in private, it will inevitably attract cynicism and ridicule from others. However, she didn't care about it and devoted herself to the meticulous preparation of each performance.
Sometimes, in the humble building in a foreign land, Wang Lihan can't help but ask herself: Is it all worth it? Are dreams really that important? Especially in the face of her parents' admonitions, she often has unprecedented confusion and vacillation in her heart.
However, whenever such thoughts are fleeting, she is immediately overcome by her unwavering faith.
Fate finally favored this persistent woman in 2008. This year, Wang Lihan finally got the precious opportunity to play the heroine in director Wang Jun's film "That Autumn".
When she heard the good news, she was so excited that she burst into tears and was full of emotion. The doubts that no one could solve in my heart for many years finally got a clear answer at this moment.
Fifth, the arrival of a turnaround and breakthrough
In order to be able to accurately interpret the heroine in the TV series "That Autumn", the talented Wang Lihan can be said to have devoted herself almost to "sacrifice" and made full preparations for the role.
Her in-depth analysis and study of this character, and her dedication to showing the rich and complex personality and inner world of the character, has won wide acclaim from the industry and the audience, and many directors have been impressed by this superb actor.
Since then, Wang Lihan's acting career has gradually expanded, and she has successively obtained valuable opportunities to participate in well-known film and television works such as "Heart Rain Flower Dew" and "My 2008", and her career has finally ushered in a new dawn.
However, just when her career seemed to be in a bottleneck, a well-known hit TV series "Parents' Love" in 2014 brought new opportunities to Wang Lihan.
In this drama, she successfully portrayed the role of supporting role Tian Xiaojuan. Although compared with the powerful Mei Ting and Liu Lin, who are also starring, the sense of existence of this character played by Wang Lihan is slightly bland, but with her excellent acting skills, she successfully integrated herself into the role of the rural woman with a pungent personality in the play, which is natural, as if she was born for this role.
Since then, although the audience may not remember her name, her wonderful performances can always be seen on the screen. In 2017, Wang Lihan once again unexpectedly performed a powerful, delicate and capable urban white-collar image in the modern drama "Beijing Meets Seattle", and her powerful aura is eye-catching.
Earlier in the costume drama "The Legend of Zhen Huan", although her role as Mo Yan Shitai was not as popular as Ying Guiren, who was also a small supporting role, her sober and unique outlook on life and her indifferent appearance and fiery personality left a deep impression on the audience.
In 2021, Wang Lihan played the role of an actor in the movie "Hello, Li Huanying" starring Jia Ling, once again showing a new acting style, which is full of praise. For each new character, Wang Lihan goes all out to explore and show his inner world, which is delicate and nuanced, real and credible.
Although she has always played the role of "supporting role" and "familiar face" in the entertainment industry for many years, Wang Lihan's strength and gains have long exceeded the imagination of ordinary people. As a powerful actor, the honors and rewards she has won are undoubtedly what she deserves.
