1. Let's review Anna Yao's growth path
In the whirlpool of the entertainment industry, Yao Anna has never been able to avoid the continuous emergence of doubts. She was born in 1998, her father is the famous Mr. Ren Zhengfei, and her mother is Ren Zhengfei's second wife Yao Ling.
Ren's father has high expectations for his daughter, and he hopes that she will one day succeed in taking over Huawei's huge family business.
As a result, since she was a child, Yao Anna has been sent to a variety of specialty training courses, such as piano, calligraphy, ballet, etc., to receive a full range of elite education.
At the age of 15, Yao Anna was honored to become a member of the Royal Ballet RAD, and her elegant and moving dance instantly attracted the attention of countless audiences.
In 2015, at the age of 17, Yao Anna was successfully admitted to Harvard University, the world's top university, with an amazing ACT perfect score, majoring in computer engineering and statistics. The future development path seems to have been paved for her, and she will gradually move towards the broad road of inheriting the family business.
However, this young girl chose to bravely devote herself to the entertainment industry and worked hard as a rookie actor, and thus endured fierce criticism and endless criticism from public opinion.
However, Yao Anna doesn't seem to care about this, and it can even be said that she turns a blind eye, she has a firm belief and persistent pursuit in her heart.
2. Key turning point 1: The Meng Wanzhou incident kicked off Yao Anna's entry into the entertainment industry
In 2018, Yao Anna, who is Ren Zhengfei's daughter, was invited to attend the prestigious Paris "Cleon" top celebrity ball. Those who were able to participate in this feast were all descendants of royal families or families, and even Ivanka, the eldest daughter of US President Donald Trump, was not invited.
That night, Yao Anna was like a dazzling pearl, shining brightly, and became the focus of attention of the audience. However, who would have expected that not long after this glorious moment, Yao Anna's sister Meng Wanzhou suffered a heavy blow.
While transiting through the airport in Vancouver, Canada, Meng Wanzhou was unreasonably detained by the authorities and forced to stay in a foreign country for three years.
For a while, public opinion was in an uproar, and people questioned the unfair treatment suffered by Meng Wanzhou, and at the same time revealed the deeper conspiracy hidden behind it.
When she learned that her sister had suffered such an unfortunate thing, Yao Anna was naturally filled with deep grief in her heart. From childhood to today, Meng Wanzhou is as important as her other mother, and the relationship between the two is intimate.
Seeing her beloved sister in prison, Yao Anna felt powerless and anxious, but she had no choice but to save herself.
It is under the torture of such a dilemma that Yao Anna unswervingly chose to devote herself to the colorful entertainment industry.
First of all, we see that Yao Anna has unique ideas and unremitting pursuit of her acting career; Secondly, she also hopes to divert the public's excessive attention to the Meng Wanzhou incident through this move.
After all, at this critical juncture, the family needs a new and eye-catching focal point to lead everyone's attention.
As the daughter of Huawei's corporate leader, Yao Anna has been under heavy pressure since she was born. However, she doesn't seem to care about this, and even deliberately ignores it, always sticking to herself and pursuing her dreams.
This subtle willfulness just became a powerful source of motivation for her to bravely break into the entertainment industry later.
3. Node 2: Officially debuted and full of ambition
After three years of careful preparation, Yao Anna finally ushered in an important moment in her life in 2021 - officially stepping into the entertainment industry and signing a contract with Tianhao Shengshi, a top domestic entertainment company. This is not only the fruit of her hard work, but also a new starting point for her unswerving pursuit of art.
In the same year, Yao Anna also released her first single, showing her enthusiasm and grand blueprint for future development.
In her spare time, Yao Anna often shares her wonderful moments of dancing on major social platforms. Although the comment area is often filled with all kinds of ridicule and questioning voices, she can calmly deal with them and ignore them.
As a girl who has studied ballet since childhood, Yao Anna has a unique and in-depth understanding and pursuit of dance, but because of her introverted and shy personality, these understandings are difficult to fully reflect in the dance.
Since entering the entertainment industry, Yao Anna's life has changed dramatically, but her love and pursuit of art has never wavered. As a newcomer actor who is new to the film industry, she is well aware of her own shortcomings, so she has never tried difficult roles easily.
In the 2019 TV series "To a Windy Place", she only played an insignificant supporting role, but she successfully created a memorable and lifelike character.
In the face of all kinds of doubts and challenges in her acting career, Yao Anna will never choose to avoid it, on the contrary, she will respond firmly with her unremitting efforts! The understanding of her acting skills is extremely clear, and she has consistently studied and honed the script, action, etc., hoping to take the lead in the future and play the role of the heroine.
However, even so, she still maintains a humble and low-key attitude, whether it is dealing with others or handling affairs, she never reveals the slightest arrogance, a quality that is particularly precious in the competitive and flashy environment of the entertainment industry.
4. Node 3: The performance in "Ice Hunting" has caused controversy
In 2022, Yao Anna ushered in her first challenge in the TV series "Ice Hunting" - to play the heroine. Originally, people expected that this would be an excellent opportunity for her to show her skills and hone her acting skills, but unexpectedly, her performance in the play detonated a wave of ridicule on the whole network.
The crew chose Yao Anna to play the heroine, which undoubtedly made many people question "whether there is 'bringing money into the group'". After all, she is not only a rookie in the entertainment industry, but also has a strong background behind Huawei's President Ren Zhengfei.
co-starring with her is veteran actor Zhang Songwen, who was an "uncle" idol who became popular with the hit drama "Hurricane" at that time.
As the master-apprentice partner of the hero and heroine, the two should be a perfect match made in heaven. However, as soon as the plot was broadcast, the audience pointed the finger at Yao Anna. Her performance has been described as a "chicken-eating" style, swaying left and right in front of the camera, jumping up and down, and her slightly jerky appearance makes people laugh.
Soon after, a series of "classic" emojis in her play circulated on the Internet, and hot search topics emerged one after another. For a while, doubts came one after another, and some people even called on her to "go home and inherit the family business".
In the face of such a fierce public opinion offensive, Gao Qunshu, the director of "Ice Hunting", had to come forward to correct Yao Anna's name. He said that he didn't know her identity and background at all, but he made the decision simply because of her appearance and personal acting skills.
Gao Dao also angrily rebuked those who mocked Yao Anna, asking if they were too narrow and complacent.
5. Node 4: Other works have been affirmed
Despite the ruthless ridicule in "Ice Hunting", Yao Anna did not give up her dream because of this. In fact, she has successfully proven her strength through other works, winning high recognition from industry insiders.
I'm afraid many people didn't expect that Yao Anna's short film "A Cliff Rises by the Sea" with the theme of her debut became an overnight success at the internationally renowned Cannes Film Festival and won the Palme d'Or! This is undoubtedly a high praise for her talent, and it is the best proof of her tireless pursuit of film and television art.
In addition to her outstanding performance in the field of film and television, Yao Anna's performance in various variety shows has also attracted much attention. She has been a regular guest on the popular reality show "Chinese Restaurant", in which she always maintains a humble attitude, whether it is serving dishes, washing dishes, or even handling trivial matters such as housework, she does not hesitate to participate in person, interpreting her modesty and politeness with practical actions.
The audience was moved by her low-key and professionalism, and bluntly said that the "second princess" is really cute. Yao Anna's rigorous and diligent approach to work also makes people full of endless expectations for her future development in the entertainment industry.
However, we must admit that there are indeed some "resource coffee" artists with strong backgrounds in the entertainment industry, who rely on the financial owners or family forces behind them and lack due reverence for their works.
However, Yao Anna is very different from these people, she is well aware of her own shortcomings, and has never easily tried to go beyond her own limits.
For example, in the hit series "To a Windy Place", although she was only an insignificant minor supporting role, the character she created made a deep impression on the audience. It can be seen that Yao Anna has a humble and sincere heart for the profession of actor, and she is willing to start from the most basic and strive for more opportunities and recognition through unremitting efforts.
