He has a delicate appearance, but he does not lose his masculine temperament.

Chen Shu bluntly said that he was the benchmark of the ideal husband.

Director Wu Ziniu pointed out that he was a little "neurotic", but he favored him.

played with the old drama bones Wang Qingxiang and Siqin Gaowa, and the aura did not lose to each other at all.

Before graduating from university, the films he starred in were nominated for awards at domestic and foreign film festivals, and his acting skills were recognized by the industry.

At the age of fresh clothes and angry horses, he was lucky and hard-working, and he became the hottest student in domestic entertainment.

Yi Nengjing, Zhao Wenxuan, Jin Xishan, Wang Qingxiang, Du Yulu, Du Zhiguo, Nie Yuan, Zhu Zhenmo, Niu Li, Siqin Gaowa, Liu Wei, Chen Baoguo, Pan Yueming......

Whether it is an old actor with spicy acting skills or a popular new generation, Wang Yanan has cooperated almost all over again.

However, such a powerful person with both appearance and acting skills slowed down after 2014 and gradually "disappeared" in the entertainment industry.

He is actor Wang Yanan.

He is Mi He, who cares about the righteousness of his family and country in "The Granary of the World", Jiang Xiao, the vicious robber leader in "Heaven Does Not Hide Treachery", Yang Xiaodong, a senior agent who strategizes in "Wildfire Spring Breeze Fighting Ancient City", and Qin Tiangang who lurks underground in "Fierce Battle Jiangnan......

He has created countless classic roles, why did he suddenly "disappear" in the entertainment industry during the steady development of his career?

All this starts with Wang Yanan's growing up experience since childhood.

01

In the early winter of 1973, Wang Yanan was born in a family of intellectuals in Qingdao City, Shandong Province.

His parents were college classmates, his mother was in Chinese, and his father was in English, and the two started a family after graduation.

Soon, my mother responded to the call of the state and was assigned to teach in a middle school in Yanggu County.

My father was assigned to the Tanzanian consulate and became a translator.

Because the husband and wife lived separately, the young Wang Yanan had to follow his mother.

But his mother, who is a teacher, also has to attend classes, so I really don't have time to take care of him.

In desperation, whenever her mother went out to class, she tied the young Wang Yanan to the leg of the table.

The mother also knew that doing so would only make Wang Yanan cry non-stop.

But she really can't help it, after all, compared to the child's crying, it is still safe to tie the child up.

This life lasted until Wang Yanan was four years old.

In order to take care of the families of diplomats on official assignment, my mother was transferred to Qingdao, and soon my father also returned from the Tanzanian consulate and became a teacher in Qingdao.

When his father saw Wang Yanan, he was taken aback: "Why is this child's voice so hoarse?"

Needless to say, my father also knew what kind of life the mother and son had in those years.

Fortunately, everything has stabilized and the family has been reunited.

It's just that I didn't expect that Wang Yanan also suffered a lot of grievances because of his hoarse voice.

At that time, Wang Yanan was very resistant to music lessons, and other children in the children's vocal period had clear and transparent voices, only his voice was hoarse, which made him feel a little inferior.

But in a music class, the teacher asked him to stand up and sing.

However, Wang Yanan stood up without opening his mouth and did not explain the reason to the teacher.

The teacher asked several times in a row, but Wang Yanan was still silent.

The teacher was so angry that he wanted to call him to the podium to stand for punishment, but Wang Yanan still didn't move.

So the teacher tried his best to pull him, but Wang Yanan grabbed the desk and resisted.

But a small child, how can he have the strength of an adult.

The angry teacher directly pulled him out with the desk.

didn't expect this to be unrecognizable, in order to punish him, the teacher easily buckled the paper basket on the ground directly to Wang Yanan's head.

At this moment, Wang Yanan finally broke out, he angrily took the paper basket off his head, threw it directly out of the window, and ran away without looking back.

Fortunately, at the critical time of the fourteen or fifteen-year-old voice change period, his father told him to protect his voice and not shout, and his voice still has a chance to return to normal.

Fortunately, after the voice change period, Wang Yanan finally said goodbye to his hoarse voice.

In the mid-80s, as Hong Kong and Taiwan pop music entered the mainland, it captured many young audiophiles, and Wang Yanan was one of them.

Indulged in pop music, he was not addicted to singing, and bought a guitar to learn to play and sing.

However, my parents were both traditional intellectuals of that era, and they felt that playing music was not a proper job.

So his father, who hated iron but not steel, threw Wang Yanan's guitar away.

In this way, his father rudely blocked Wang Yanan's music dream.

In the parents' concept, the son will be admitted to a good university in the future, and then find a stable job after graduation, so that his life will be complete.

Under the "coercion and temptation" of his parents, Wang Yanan had no choice but to obediently prepare for the college entrance examination.

However, a car accident before the college entrance examination made him miss the university that his parents were looking forward to.

There is a saying that "the lost east, the harvest of mulberry elm".

A car accident ruined his regular life, but it guided him step by step to the colorful literary and artistic road.

Because he published a novel in "Qingdao Daily" in his junior year of high school, he also won the second prize.

The local Youth League Committee noticed Wang Yanan, who had a good writing handwriting, so he was seconded to the Workers' Cultural Palace to do some things like presiding over and writing scripts.

It happened that the army came to Qingdao to recruit literary and artistic soldiers that year, so Wang Yanan, who was tall, had a good image, and could write, was recommended to enlist in the army.

The strong literary and artistic atmosphere of the army greatly stimulated Wang Yanan's enthusiasm for work.

In a short period of time, Wang Yanan became the backbone of literature and art in the regiment.

Wang Yanan also quickly got used to and fell in love with the life of the army.

However, the next thing happened changed the trajectory of Wang Yanan's life again.

02

After a successful completion of a major performance, Wang Yanan was granted family leave back to Qingdao.

That day, Wang Yanan was shopping with his junior high school classmates, and when he passed by the Qingdao Repertory Theatre, he found that the enrollment notice of the Shanghai Theater Academy was posted at the door.

Although Wang Yanan has also been a literary soldier for a while, he has no accurate concept of drama and performance, and he has always thought that the drama academy teaches opera.

Originally, Wang Yanan was not interested in this, but he couldn't bear the instigation of his classmates, so the two went in out of curiosity.

When I arrived at the scene, I found that the interview had already passed three tests.

"Are you a candidate?" asked an admissions teacher, looking at Wang Yanan.

"No, I'm just here to see. Wang Yanan also replied frankly.

"You have good conditions, why don't you take the test?" The admissions teacher was very interested in Wang Yanan in front of him.

Wang Yanan is also sincere: "I am a literary soldier. ”

I heard that Wang Yanan is a literary soldier, and the admissions teacher is even more interested.

After communicating with other colleagues, the teacher decided to make an exception to give Wang Yanan a chance to interview.

The admissions teacher felt that Wang Yanan, as a literary soldier, should have a foundation in performance, so he didn't let him show his performance foundation such as the sound stage and table, and directly gave him an impromptu sketch.

Although Wang Yanan didn't have much superb performance ability at that time, his on-the-spot reaction ability was impressive.

The admissions teacher saw Wang Yanan's performance potential, so he promised him: "As long as you pass the cultural class exam, you will receive an admission letter for the play." ”

In order to successfully get the admission letter for the play, Wang Yanan first coordinated with the army and obtained consent, and then locked himself at home for more than a month to prepare for the cultural class.

How hard did Wang Yanan work during that time?

Wang Yanan recalled in a later interview: "Because I felt my muscles atrophy because of long-term sitting, I walked like stepping on cotton. ”

Hard work pays off.

Unsurprisingly, Wang Yanan was successfully admitted to the play.

At this time, his parents also supported Wang Yanan to go to the theater for further study.

After all, being able to study at a university in the metropolis of Shanghai is also a thing that shines on their family's face.

With the admission letter of the play, Wang Yanan entered the campus of the play.

It is worth mentioning that among his classmates, there are also Li Bingbing, Ren Quan, Liao Fan, Fan Zhibo, etc., who will also develop well in the future.

Wang Yanan, who has just entered the play, is in his twenties and is young and vigorous, and his high-profile behavior cannot be hidden.

The teacher sensed this.

In order to make Wang Yanan more restrained, and in order to keep his future path not deviated, the teachers collectively discussed and decided to focus on "suppressing" him.

So no matter how hard Wang Yanan works and how good he is, the teacher can always find fault with him.

This is undoubtedly like a basin of cold water poured on his hot heart, in addition to grievances, more frustration.

Fortunately, with the increase of experience, Wang Yanan gradually realized the teacher's good intentions.

Becoming a real actor has also become his lifelong pursuit.

When his classmates Li Bingbing and Ren Quan were thriving in the advertising industry and the film and television industry, Wang Yanan did not fall behind.

As soon as he made a move, he shot a promotional video for a major international brand of contact lenses, and easily put 70,000 yuan into his pocket.

You know, in the 90s, this was definitely a "huge sum".

In terms of film and television, Wang Yanan is also unwilling.

The first film "Talking about Love" made in his sophomore year shined at domestic and foreign film festivals.

Subsequently, with the film "My Blood and My Love" starring his partner Yi Nengjing, Wang Yanan was nominated for the Best Actor of the Hundred Flowers Awards.

Although he didn't win the trophy in the end, in that era when film festivals were not flooded and the awards were still very high, being nominated by a major film festival was in itself a recognition of the actor's performance ability.

Before graduating, Wang Yanan has already made his debut in the film industry.

This also made Wu Ziniu, the director who later prepared the movie "National Anthem", see it.

When he was young, Wang Yanan was handsome and tall, and his eyes still had a melancholy literary temperament.

Wu Ziniu felt that Wang Yanan's image was particularly suitable for the role of "Nie Er" in the script of "National Anthem", so he sent him an invitation.

Wu Ziniu is a fifth-generation director who grew up with Zhang Yimou, Chen Kaige, etc., and many of the films he directed have won awards at home and abroad.

It stands to reason that being able to cooperate with such a big director is an opportunity that many actors can't ask for.

However, Wang Yanan refused the invitation of director Wu Ziniu.

This is not because Wang Yanan is arrogant and unwilling to cooperate with him, but it is really helpless.

It turned out that Wang Yanan was assigned to the actor troupe of Shanghai Film Studio after graduation and was regarded as a key talent cultivated by the unit.

That year was the year before the 50th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China, and all walks of life in the entertainment industry launched gift works.

Not only director Wu Ziniu, but Shanghai Film Studio is also preparing to shoot the gift film "Shanghai Chronicle", and the leaders also handpicked Wang Yanan as the male lead.

In this way, the filming of the two movies collided, Wang Yanan chose to obey the order to take over the film of his own unit, and Wu Ziniu found Chen Kun, who was still studying at Beijing Film Academy, to star in "National Anthem".

I have to say that Wang Yanan's luck is good enough.

was once again nominated for the Golden Rooster Award for Best Actor for his starring role in "Shanghai Chronicle".

Subsequently, Wang Yanan, who was thriving in the film industry, was also invited to participate in the Sino-Korean co-production "Flying Dance", and it was the Korean goddess Kim Hee-sun who played opposite him.

Although the film appointments continue, it has also been recognized by filmmakers in the industry.

However, at that time, the domestic film market was very sluggish, except for Feng Xiaogang's Chinese New Year movies that could make money, even the movies made by big directors like Zhang Yimou only lost money and made money.

So after that, Wang Yanan began to shift his career focus to the field of TV dramas.

03

In 2001, 28-year-old Wang Yanan joined the CCTV drama "The Granary of the World".

This time, Wang Yanan finally made up for his regrets and cooperated with Wu Ziniu, the director of the play.

As a key project of CCTV's annual drama, the cast can be called a gathering of big names.

not only invited old actors such as Wang Qingxiang, Du Yulu, and Du Zhiguo to sit on the stage, but also a new generation of popular stars such as Wang Yanan, Nie Yuan, and Li Qian to help.

Mi He, played by Wang Yanan in the play, is a Qing official Mi He who cherishes his family and country.

His performance is calm and natural, deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and there is no trace of performance.

When playing on the same stage with powerful old actors like Wang Qingxiang, Du Yulu, and Du Zhiguo, Wang Yanan's performance did not fall behind at all, showing the solid acting skills of a professional actor.

After the show was broadcast, it directly won the throne of CCTV's annual ratings champion, and Wang Yanan, as the male protagonist of this popular drama, also became the most popular student in domestic entertainment.

It is said that people are easy to float when they are popular, but Wang Yanan has never regarded himself as a star, and becoming a good actor has always been his goal.

It stands to reason that people will pay special attention to their own personality after they become popular.

But Wang Yanan rarely has such concerns.

He can play the bad guy, and play the villain in "Heaven Doesn't Hide the Rape", which makes the audience hate itchy.

He can play the cowardly emperor, and the Ming Xizong portrayed in "The Great Tomorrow", which makes people hate iron but not steel.

He doesn't mind playing a supporting role, and the young master of the Zeng family who died young in "Jinghua Smoke and Clouds" made the audience feel distressed......

After that, he successively launched many excellent works such as "Wildfire Spring Breeze Fighting Ancient City", "Deus Ex Jedi", "Fierce Battle in Jiangnan", "Spy Career", "Innocence Meets Reality", "I Love Male Girlfriends" and so on.

But after 2014, Wang Yanan suddenly disappeared from the screen.

It turned out that in 2012, Wang Yanan, who was about to be confused, finally got married, and his wife was an outsider.

Because he was busy with his career in his early years and neglected his life's events, Wang Yanan slowed down after marriage to accompany his family.

Especially after his wife gave birth to a son and a daughter, Wang Yanan put almost all his energy on running the family.

Over the years, Wang Yanan has undoubtedly been a qualified husband and father.

However, while taking care of his family, Wang Yanan never forgot to perform.

In his spare time, he will also watch excellent dramas, and he will make no secret of his appreciation for Duan Yihong and Zhang Jiayi.

will also envy Hu Ge for starring in a good drama like "Langya Bang".

I would even sigh: If only I could act in such a good drama when I was young.

Because he is concerned about acting, when the child is older, Wang Yanan is also ready to return to filming.

But Wang Yanan would not have thought that the entertainment industry had already changed at this time.

Today's entertainment industry has long been the world of traffic stars, and ancient puppets and fairy tale dramas are popular.

In order to cater to the market and please fans, capital has also bowed to "traffic".

Now filming is no longer about making excellent works, but about making quick money.

Which theme can make money, which actors have traffic, and which side the producer will tilt towards.

In such an environment, it is difficult for Wang Yanan to receive high-quality scripts, not to mention that he has "disappeared" from the entertainment industry for many years, and many viewers can't remember his name at all.

If it continues to develop according to the current situation, then the entertainment industry will fall deeper and deeper into the cycle of deformity and pathology.

I hope that the entertainment industry can give more opportunities to actors like Wang Yanan who really love acting, otherwise the works will get worse and worse, and the audience will be hurt in the end.
