Zhang Songwen played the villain again, and the righteous party who confronted him changed from the powerful actor Zhang Yi to the showbiz star Yao Anna.Edit|Deep.
For netizens who don't pay much attention to the news in the entertainment industry, the name Yao Anna may not be familiar. But Yao Anna's family background is actually extraordinary, and her father is Ren Zhengfei, who single-handedly created Huawei, a technology giant. Because of the registered trademark for his second daughter for public and private use, Ren Zhengfei also apologized to all Huawei employees.
It is worth mentioning that in addition to Yao Anna, Ren Zhengfei also has an older daughter, Meng Wanzhou. However, unlike Meng Wanzhou who took over Huawei, Yao Anna, who was born in 98, went to a different fork in the road of life with her sister to pursue her dream in the entertainment industry.
In 2021, Yao Anna announced her official debut on Weibo. Entering the entertainment industry, Yao Anna chose to sign a contract with Tianhao Shengshi. It is understood that Huang Zitao's father, Huang Zhongdong, once served as the chairman of Tianhao Shengshi, and the current chairman and largest shareholder of the company is Zhou Hao. In addition, the "godmother of the entertainment industry" Du Hua controlled Horgos Lehua Films*** and singer Tan Weiwei are also shareholders of the company.
According to incomplete statistics from Radar Finance, since her debut, Yao Anna has tried in the fields of **, movies, and dramas, but most of the works she handed over have not been able to make too many splashes in the market. And the identity of "Huawei's second princess" made Yao Anna the envy of countless people, but it also brought a lot of controversy to her.
Yao Anna's new drama was launched, and the popular drama series "Hurricane" at the beginning of last year made Zhang Songwen a well-known treasure actor. A year has passed in a blink of an eye, and the man who became popular with Gao Qiqiang has returned with a new drama.
On February 21, the new drama "Ice Hunting" starring Zhang Songwen was officially launched on Tencent**. However, the other leading actor who played against Zhang Songwen this time is no longer Zhang Yi, who previously played the role of policeman An Xin in "Hurricane", but Yao Anna, a rookie in the entertainment industry who is known as "Huawei's second princess" by the outside world.
It is understood that the just-launched "Ice Hunting" is directed by Gao Qunshu, who has directed the classic spy war movie "The Wind", which tells the story of the anti-narcotics police represented by Zhao Younan (played by Yao Anna) who unremittingly pursued the drug trafficking group led by Huang Zongwei (played by Zhang Songwen), and finally succeeded in exterminating the drug gang.
And the old drama bone Zhang Songwen returned to play the villain again, and the gimmick of "Huawei's Second Princess" starring in a TV series for the first time made this new drama that had just started to be broadcast attract a lot of attention from the outside world. According to the battle report released by the official blog of "Ice Hunting", on the day of the broadcast, the popularity value of the show on Tencent** exceeded 25,000.
According to the Maoyan Professional Edition, on February 21, the cat's eye popularity value of "Ice Hunting" was 955448, ranking second on the Maoyan network popularity list that day, ranking in the "Tang Di Gong Case" (Maoyan popularity value is 9610.) that has been online for 16 days33) after. On the second day of broadcasting, "Ice Hunting" surpassed the former to top the list.
As of press time, the cumulative number of effective ** on the whole network of "Ice Hunting" Maoyan has reached 41.67 million, and the average number of effective ** episodes has exceeded 8.34 million. The total number of the whole network is **87.5 billion times, with a cumulative number of 10 likes40,000, with a total of 59 hot search topics on the list. Among them, the topic of "how is Yao Anna's acting skills" also appeared on the hot search of the Douyin entertainment list, with 2.13 million related topics.

However, judging from the relevant evaluations on the Douban page, there is a lot of controversy in the reputation of this new drama that has just started. Among them, many low-scoring evaluations of the play mentioned the heroine of the play, Yao Anna, "Yao Anna is working hard, but if it doesn't work, it won't work." There are even hot comments saying, "I have to look at the children of capitalists when I go home after a day of work", "Is it impossible to find a job for Yao Anna in a company as big as Huawei?" ”
It is worth mentioning that when asked why he chose Yao Anna as the heroine of this play, director Gao Qunshu replied to netizens' comments on Weibo, saying, "The key is why Yao Anna must have something to do with capital?" She is only used because she is a simple girl with no acting training, and her image and temperament are very suitable for playing a policeman. ”
In the face of netizen Huawei's sharp question about whether to invest in this drama, Gao Qunshu replied, "How can Huawei invest money? Ren Zhengfei wouldn't do that. Gao Qunshu also revealed that Yao Anna's salary is not expensive.
The controversy that Yao Anna, who was born with a golden spoon and whose illustrious family background has become a double-edged sword, is partly related to her extraordinary family background. According to public information, Yao Anna is the daughter of Ren Zhengfei and his second wife Yao Ling, formerly known as Yao Siwei, and Ren Zhengfei is the founder of the well-known technology company Huawei. As early as 2005, Ren Zhengfei was selected as one of the 100 most influential people in the world by Time magazine in the United States.
In addition, Ren Zhengfei is also a frequent visitor to various rich lists. In 2022, Ren Zhengfei will rank 420th in the "2022 Hengchang Burnt Fang Hurun Report" with a wealth of 14.5 billion yuan. However, Ren Zhengfei's wealth shrank to 11.5 billion yuan last year, and his ranking in the "2023 Hurun Report" also fell to 521st.
As Ren Zhengfei's second daughter, Yao Anna can be regarded as a person born with a golden spoon. Yao Anna was born in Kunming, Yunnan Province in 1998. At the age of 5, Yao Anna began to contact piano, calligraphy, ** and Chinese painting. At the age of nine, Yao Anna began studying ballet, and later obtained the highest level of the RAD certificate in ballet.
At the age of 17, Yao Anna passed the ACT (American College Admission Test) with perfect marks and was admitted to Harvard University in the United States. During her studies at Harvard, Anna Yao interned in the Microsoft project team and was selected as the financial director of the Harvard China Forum. However, after graduation, Yao Anna did not choose to return to Huawei, which was founded by her father, but chose to enter the entertainment industry.
When mentioning his children, Ren Zhengfei also sighed in an interview, "My youngest daughter is actually very difficult, because at that time our company was still dying, and I was basically in the company for more than ten hours (every day), or I was on a business trip and didn't go home for a few months." At that time, in order to open up the international market, I stayed abroad for several months, and the children basically had little contact, and I owed them a lot. In fact, children rely on their own efforts, and they are very demanding of themselves. ”
Because of the second daughter Yao Anna, Ren Zhengfei was once involved in controversy. Tianyancha shows that on January 25, 2021, Huawei Technologies *** applied for the registration of a number of "Yao Siwei" and "Yao Anna" trademarks, of which the international classification includes 30 categories of convenience food, 14 categories of jewelry and watches, 38 types of communication services, etc.
On the evening of February 3, 2021, Ren Zhengfei issued the "Several Notes on the Registration of the Company's ** Yao Anna Trademark" on Huawei's internal voice community, apologizing for the registration of the Yao Anna trademark, which is also the first time he has apologized to all Huawei employees.
The explanation pointed out that because Yao Anna had not registered her own company at that time, in order to prevent other companies or individuals from maliciously registering Yao Anna's trademark, Ren Zhengfei had no choice but to entrust Huawei's Intellectual Property Department to register, and then transfer it to Yao Anna's studio, and the cost would be paid by Yao Anna. The note also said that this was Ren Zhengfei's first public and private use, and Ren Zhengfei apologized to all employees for this.
In August last year, according to the Daily Economic News, a number of "Yao Anna" trademarks held by Huawei Technologies *** have been successfully transferred to Shenzhen Anna Film and Television Studio, and the trademark classification includes daily chemical products, communication services, scientific instruments, etc. Tianyancha shows that Shenzhen Anna Film and Television ** Studio, established in September 2021, is an enterprise mainly engaged in radio, television, film and recording production, and is 100% owned by investor Yao Siwei.
It is worth mentioning that Yao Anna also has a sister, who is the party to the "Meng Wanzhou Incident" that has attracted much attention from the Chinese people before, but Meng Wanzhou and Yao Anna have chosen different life trajectories. According to Huawei's official website, Meng Wanzhou joined Huawei in 1993 and has served as the company's international accounting director, Huawei's chief financial officer in Hong Kong, and president of the accounting management department.
According to Huawei's previously released financial report, in the first three quarters of 2023, the company achieved sales revenue of 456.6 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 24% and a net profit margin of 160%。Regarding the company's operating results, Ken Hu, Huawei's rotating chairman, said, "The company's operating results are in line with expectations. We would like to thank our customers and partners for their trust and support. In the future, we will continue to increase R&D investment, give full play to the advantages of the company's industrial portfolio, continuously improve the competitiveness of products and services, and create greater value for customers, partners and society. ”
Due to different life choices, the outside world has different evaluations of Huawei's two "princesses". Regarding the outside world's evaluation of my sister and herself, Yao Anna once said frankly, "I often see some very negative comments on the Internet, why do people scold me like this, why everyone likes my sister but doesn't like me, I will take these questioning voices as a driving force to move forward." Everyone will be affirmed and will face doubts, and all I can do is be myself. I would use the voice of skepticism as a motivation to move forward. ”
In September 2021, the news of Meng Wanzhou's return to China attracted widespread attention on the Internet. At that time, Yao Anna also posted a Weibo on her social media account, which wrote, "My sister's plane has flown over the North Pole, and I will soon be able to return to the great motherland, without the strength of the motherland, there will be no sister's freedom and family reunion, thank you to the party and the great motherland, sister, you will always be my role model and the pride of the whole family." ”
doesn't love business, loves filming, Ren Zhengfei escorts his daughter's future In the eyes of many people, Yao Anna's family background is no different from the daughter of a rich family in romance, but she has a heart to pursue her dream in the entertainment industry. As for the outside world always linking herself to her father, Yao Anna said, "When others mention me again, they will say that I am an artist, not some other label."
At the age of 20, Yao Anna was invited to the Paris ** Ball, which invites only 20 people every year, and danced with the Belgian prince. Before attending this ball, to which only the descendants of famous nobles and top figures in the political, economic, and literary circles are invited, the Paris Match Illustrated magazine, the magazine with the largest circulation in France, published a family photo of Ren Zhengfei, Yao Ling and Yao Anna.
When asked about his daughter's participation in the celebrity party to take family photos, Ren Zhengfei once said, "The child loves literature and art very much, and when someone invited her to participate in the celebrity party, she discussed with her parents that she wanted to attend, and my attitude at that time was supportive." Because if she hits this time, when the rest of her life in the future is not going well, she will say that her parents have blocked this road. We might as well support her, she can do whatever she wants. ”
Since then, Yao Anna has participated in many activities in the fashion circle and celebrity circle, and has appeared in fashion magazines at home and abroad. In August 2020, Yao Anna also danced a women's group dance with He Chaoxin, the youngest daughter of gambling king Stanley Ho, and Yuan Yafei, the daughter of Yuan Yafei, chairman of Sanpower Group. In the group photo of the three, Yao Anna was in the C position, and netizens also gave them the title of "100 billion girl group".

Radar Finance learned that Yao Anna was involved in the entertainment industry, and the brokerage company that escorted her was Tianhao Shengshi. According to "Red Star News", Ren Zhengfei is very concerned about his daughter's future, and has personally gone to the brokerage company to learn more about the specific plan for his daughter's future development.
In the debut documentary created by Tianhao Shengshi for herself, Yao Anna bluntly said, "People will give me a lot of labels on the Internet, ballet dancer, Harvard graduate, celebrity, rich second generation, I don't want to be bound by these definitions, I want to try something I haven't done, do something unconventional, being an artist can be regarded as a more important decision in my life." ”
According to Yao Anna's personal Weibo profile, she is still a signed artist of Tianhao Shengshi. This time, Yao Anna's new drama was launched, and the official blog of Tianhao Shengshi Entertainment also released relevant promotional Weibo for her.
Tianyancha shows that Beijing Tianhao Shengshi Entertainment Culture was established in December 2014 with a registered capital of more than 42.43 million yuan, and its chairman Zhou Hao holds 56 of the company2475% of the shares. The second largest shareholder of Tianhao Shengshi is Horgos Lehua Films***, the actual controller of this company is Du Hua, the female head of Lehua Entertainment and known as the "godmother of the entertainment industry". In addition, singer Tan Weiwei also holds Tianhao Shengshi 17578% of the shares.

Some Internet marketers pointed out that as the "second princess of Huawei", Yao Anna has been ahead of many ordinary people at the starting line, but the entertainment industry is a vanity fair, and Yao Anna's family background will inevitably make her questioned by the outside world like "resource coffee". Since she has chosen the path of acting, Yao Anna needs to rely on more weighty works to speak if she wants to reverse the prejudice against her from the outside world.
