In April, actor Wang Lin performed a retro tango song,

made his debut in the variety show "Riding the Wind",

Let netizens refresh the memory of "Aunt Xue".

When the other young sisters appeared domineeringly,

She has worked hard in the entertainment industry for most of her life,

却怯生fabric感叹:

"The rookie went online and was shocked by the stage".

On the first stage of Mango's variety show "Riding the Wind 2024", Wang Lin chose the tango song "Carmen"

More than 20 years ago, Wang Lin, who was only 30 years old, with her wonderful acting skills,

Let "Aunt Xue" become the childhood shadow of a generation,

But because of this, she was firmly nailed to the label of "genre actor".

For a long time, an endless stream of "bad woman" characters found her,

Arrogant, arrogant, and calculating......

But in reality, her personality is the opposite of these characters,

Delicate, sensitive, and surprisingly honest.

When Wang Lin played Aunt Xue, she was only 5 years older than Ruby Lin, who played the "daughter".

Late April,

I met Wang Lin in Changsha,

Talking about her regrets in her acting career, she said:

"There can't be such a good script in life that is written for you",

"It's my luck to rely on Aunt Xue to eat for a lifetime",

She also mentioned her recent work status,

"At over half a hundred years old, I feel more confident than before."

Wang Lin was interviewed by a strip in Changsha

A friend once described Wang Lin as "a Shanghainese with a closed mouth and a northeasterner with an open mouth". She looks shy, charming, and soft on the outside, and she walks with three shakes in one step, but as soon as she speaks, you will find that her lazy voice can't hide her uprightness and frankness, and all kinds of "self-black" blurt out.

talked about the performance of "Sister Lang" on the first stage, she took the lead in teasing: "I think I'm a little embarrassed"; Talking about the catwalk at Shanghai Fashion Week at the beginning of the year, she quoted netizens' comments to laugh at herself as "like crawling out of an ancient tomb". She is always the first to self-criticize, does not say beautiful words, and does not package herself.

is different from the shrewd and domineering image in the play, Wang Lin when she was young was once an idealistic literary and artistic youth, looking forward to the romantic love written by Qiong Yao.

In 1987, 17-year-old Wang Lin was "electrocuted" for the first time as a group actor in Spielberg's "Empire of the Sun". After being admitted to the Shanghai Theater Academy, because of his excellent grades, he was sent by the school to study in Moscow in his sophomore year, and there were only 50 places in the country that year.

Before leaving, Wang Lin didn't understand a word of Russian, so she forced herself to enter the door of Russian by "remembering homophonies". In Moscow, she writes poetry, reads literature, watches ballet, watches art exhibitions, writes a diary almost every day, and has a rich sense of the things around her. She once described her feelings about watching a concert in Moscow in an interview: "When the curtain opens, the heaviness, pain, and pride of their nation run through it, and heaven is close at hand." ”

At that time, the Soviet Union was on the eve of its collapse, with a shortage of supplies, soaring prices, frequent school closures, and a year and a half later, the turbulent social environment forced her to end her study abroad early.

In the talk show "Kefan Listening", Wang Lin recited Pushkin's poem "To Kane" written by Pushkin to his lover in Russian

In the 30 years since her debut, Wang Lin's acting career has not been smooth. She has never played the leading role, she has no "youth" on the screen, when she played Aunt Xue, she was only two years older than Gu Juji and 5 years older than Lin Xinru.

Before "Deep Love and Rain", Wang Lin was tepid, but most of the roles she received were "ordinary" characters that were close to the lives of ordinary people, such as Zhang Yuemei, an educated youth who played in the reform and opening up drama "Love in the Pearl River".

After "Deep Love and Rain", her face became a household name, but the acting path became narrower. Most of the roles she got were all kinds of face-painted "evil girls" and "vulgar girls", keen on power struggles and full of scheming. Zhang Ailing's cold-blooded stepmother Sun Yongfan, the ruthless Han Zhaoyi in "The Princess of the World", in "Little Times", she is a wealthy mother who demolishes her son's CP and is snobbish and mean.

Wang Lin has starred in the wealthy Kuotai who broke up the child's CP many times, and some netizens commented: "Without her, the rich second generation of domestic entertainment is like a mother"/Stills from "The Golden Years".

But she rarely lamented bad luck. In the face of "passivity" in career choices, she can always find a way to resolve it: "Someone has to play the bad guy, then I'd better carry forward the spirit of Lei Feng", recording a program on the TV station, she will also smile and ask the audience if anyone brings rotten eggs.

In recent years, "Aunt Xue", who has been reborn in emojis, has been given a new space for interpretation in the context of the Internet. More and more people are beginning to understand the ambition and shrewdness of this character, who was born at the bottom and relied on her beauty to counterattack, and when her husband questioned her loyalty, she responded domineeringly: "You can play with women, why can't I find a man?" She even became a representative of the "rise of individualistic consciousness" in the play.

In 2023, Wang Lin will play an "ordinary" mother in the TV series "Sun with Me".

At the same time, actor Wang Lin's career has gone to a broader place. Actresses often experience the dilemma of "sharp turn" after middle age, and their roles are patterned and routine, but Wang Lin is just the opposite, when she is nearly 50, her role on the screen has begun to be enriched. She finally said goodbye to the "stepmother with a bad stomach" and was allowed to play the role of "normal mother", as soon as she made a move, her performance resonated strongly with netizens - "The mother played by Wang Lin is the mother of each of us".

The following is Wang Lin's own statement:

Stills from "Deep Love and Rain".

Some people say that I rely on "Aunt Xue" to eat all my life, which is my luck. There are many actors who have acted in dramas all their lives, and the audience only knows who he is, but they don't know what plays he has acted. And I'm the opposite, who am I? - I don't know, but Aunt Xue knows.

"Deep Love and Rain" gave me an unlimited performance space, Teacher Qiong Yao's script is very good, as long as you say her lines accurately, your performance will be in place. After staying in the crew for a long time, you don't have to figure out this role, this inertia makes you become this character, and you can scold people with one mouth.

Do you know the difference between an actor and a psychopath? There is a line in front, there is a prescribed scene, the director says cut, retreat and become himself, this is the actor; Psychosis is when no one shouts cut, no one lets you out, and it becomes psychotic.

When I came out of the crew, when I came home and lay in bed, as soon as I woke up, I would ask: who am I, where am I, and where have the words I usually said gone? I told myself that I was going to get back to what I was going to say in my life.

In 1993, "Love in the Pearl River", jointly produced by Zhuying Studio and Guangdong TV, was the "reform and opening up drama" at that time, and it received extremely high ratings

I also have some roles that I am quite satisfied with, such as "Live with a Smile", which I played very devotedly. This play is very bitter, and some people joke that it should be changed to "crying and dying", and I can't get out of that play. "Flowers Bloom Like a Dream" directed by Liu Huining, I like it very much, but unfortunately it was not broadcast.

"Love in the Pearl River" is the first play that everyone is familiar with me, such a good book, such a strong cast, and a strong production team, but I think I was too immature at that time, and I was a little crotch-pulling.

It is said that film and television are the art of regret, and I think if I remake it, I will perform better.

An actor is a very passive character, especially when you are young, you don't have the initiative, you have to play whoever people choose to play you. Because you want to have a little more exposure on the screen, if people don't know you, what are you playing, right?

At that time, I was also like this, I wanted to play Fang Yu or Keyun, but in the eyes of others, I turned out to be Aunt Xue. A director friend joked with me that your facial features may be too three-dimensional, and you have a bad face, and I said, OK, I admit it.

Since I finished playing Aunt Xue, all the roles that have come to me have been similar to this. I can't count how many I acted, and finally for a while I didn't even want to take on the act, because I felt that it was not an art anymore, it became a technique.

I'm a skilled worker, and even sometimes, the lines I say in this play, I say the director, I seem to have said this line in the last play?

In order to eliminate the generation gap with her son, Wang Lin learned to play e-sports herself

It was a good time, and I wanted to spend more time with my children, so I turned down a lot of plays. The child loves to play tennis, I have been playing tennis with him, I have become half a coach, why do you play out of bounds? Why did it hit the Internet? I can make sense; When he was younger, he loved to play games, so I played games with him, because I didn't want to have a generation gap with him, I wanted to be his friend.

Why do I give my son so much love? Because our generation has been lacking love since childhood. One of the characteristics of parents of my generation is that they are shy to praise and shy to say love.

So I want my child to feel that his life is full of love.

Wang Lin loves to cook and won the runner-up in the second season of the food competition reality show "Star Chef Arrives".

When my son grew up, I gradually needed to find myself, so my focus changed again. I have more time to organize my life, I have to fill it with all kinds of work, and when I fill it up, I feel like I'll become confident.

Now, I feel that I am more confident than before, if I am not confident, I will not go to the catwalk, if I am not confident, I dare not come to Sister Lang.

Wang Lin participated in the variety show "Riding the Wind", and was asked about "the preparations for participating in the show", she laughed at herself: "waist seal, ointment, pills"

After about two months of training, I have made breakthroughs in singing and dancing. I used to be bad at singing and dancing, because when I was young, I was always filming, running around, and I didn't have time to learn. I didn't expect to be over half a hundred years old and live the life of school again.

I chose "Carmen" on the first stage, because I usually love to dance the national standard, and the melody of "Carmen" is a Tango melody, I originally wanted to sing a few words to perform some Tango, but later the program team said that I could only have my sister alone on the first stage, and I couldn't have any accompanying dancers. I feel a little embarrassed myself.

Sometimes I can't tell my age stupidly, as if I am covered by magic, but after a lot of exercise, it doesn't work here, it doesn't work there, and the joint tells me that buddy wake up, not young anymore.

In April this year, Wang Lin walked the catwalk at Shanghai Fashion Week

At the beginning of this year, I went to Shanghai Fashion Week to walk the catwalk, which was actually a very fortuitous opportunity. Designer Hua Juan, she has been dating me for many years, she said, Sister Lin, can you help me walk a show?

I think I'm so small, and so old, what kind of show. When I went to see her show last year, I was actually quite shocked that Leung Ka Fai was walking or something.

So I mustered up the courage, but I was very nervous, the models are very tall, and when people take one step, I have to take a few steps, and then I have to pretend to be cool and twist, and I am nervous. So many netizens ridiculed me and said, you see Aunt Xue walking the catwalk, as if she climbed out of an ancient tomb, and some people say, are you clenching your fists in your sleeves? You're going to slam the door, aren't you?

I like to read their comments about me online, and I think they are all very cute and love me.

In her sophomore year, Wang Lin got the opportunity to study in Moscow because of her excellent grades, and there were only 50 places in the country that year

Some time ago, I saw some things I wrote on the Internet, and I was quite moved, I used to be really a literary youth.

When I was sent to Moscow, I had a dream, what was this dream? I can't say it now, but I felt like I could do a lot of things. In every scene, I have a feeling like poetry, I will write it down, almost every day to write a diary, to write letters to my family is very poetic.

Two years ago, I looked through my diary, and I was amazed why I was so young that I was completely unrecognizable by now. The spiritual pursuit of the past seems to have been gradually worn out by life, and there is no more. Maybe it's because there are too many problems to solve in my life, children, parents, earning money, raising a family, and a lot of interpersonal relationships, which has made me a different person.

When I was young, I also read Qiong Yao's novels, "Outside the Window" and everything, and I always dreamed of having such a male protagonist by my side, but I never met it. Do you know why Ms. Qiong Yao's books were so popular at that time, and so many people loved to read them? Because there is no in life.

Wang Lin participated in the variety show "Heartbeat Again"

At that time, someone said a sentence that was particularly accurate, "You only have time to love one person in your life", because the information is too uncirculating, and only relying on correspondence is spiritual love. When the things in the writing touch you a little bit, you will imagine him as your true lover.

The current network is too developed, send a message today, send a message tomorrow, there is no distance to produce beauty.

I'm in my 50s, and it's hard to imagine this kind of "distance beauty" love anymore, and I'm an actor, what is the most basic quality of an actor? It's about analyzing people. As long as this person says more than 10 words to me, I know what is going on with him, so I can see it very clearly. I feel like I'm fine on my own now, I don't need to take care of others, and I don't need anyone else to take care of me.

Stills from "Heartbeat Again".

I have always said that (actors are) shedding their own tears in other people's lives, but in fact, we are portraying others, not ourselves. My life is my life, and it can't be that good script that is written for you, because how many people know about my life?

It's hard to really play yourself because you can't see who you are, you don't understand who you are.

So over the years, I'm thankful for the reality show, which is placed in front of you like a mirror: Is this me? Why do I demand so much from others? How can I be like this? It made me see myself.
