Black and red are also red, in the fourth year of chasing dreams in the entertainment industry, Yao Anna, the "second princess of Huawei", finally waited for a burst of popularity. On February 21, the online drama "Ice Hunting" was officially launched, and it earned enough attention before the broadcast. After all, this is the first TV series starring Zhang Songwen after "Hurricane" became popular. At the same time, it is also the first film and television work starring Yao Anna, and even Huawei's official Weibo has released copywriting to promote the play.

From an objective point of view, as an online drama, the strong story-based police and bandit content of "Ice Hunting", with the starring Zhang Songwen and the director Gao Qunshu, who once directed the classic suspense movie "The Wind", such a combination should not go wrong. Unexpectedly, on the first day of broadcasting, this drama was out of the circle with the hot search of "Yao Anna's acting skills". 
Yao Anna is on the hot search on Weibo.
In the play, Yao Anna plays an anti-narcotics policeman who fights wits and courage with criminals, and the role setting is very suitable for her needs who want to get rid of "fashionable celebrities". But as an actor, her talent and experience are really lacking. Aside from Mu Ne's expression changes and clumsy line skills, the wrong posture of holding a gun in the play also makes people question whether she has put a lot of effort into the study of the role. 
Yao Anna in "Ice Hunting" Many netizens shouted at Ren Zhengfei and asked him to persuade his daughter to give up acting: "Huawei is so big, can't you arrange a job for Yao Anna?" Even Wang Hailin, the screenwriter of "Iron Tooth Bronze Tooth Ji Xiaolan", publicly criticized Yao Anna's acting skills, saying that "the software and hardware conditions are not enough, there is no talent, and you should change careers as soon as possible." ”
Wang Hailin commented on Yao Anna's acting skills.
Regarding Yao Anna's investment into the group, the director's doubts about bowing to capital are also increasing day by day. Gao Qunshu had to respond publicly, saying that Yao Anna was chosen not because of the so-called capital, but because she "has never acted, is simple enough, and is very suitable for playing a policeman". And not only did he not "receive red envelopes from Huawei", "Ice Hunting" is still his lowest-cost production work in the past ten years. 
Director Gao Qunshu responded on Weibo.
Zhang Songwen also followed up on Weibo: "It is normal for every audience to have reasons to like and the right to dislike a film and television work. ”
Zhang Songwen responded to Yao Anna, who was in the storm**, but never spoke.
It wasn't until March 1 that "Ice Hunting" ushered in the finale, and Yao Anna finally responded, saying that she accepted well-intentioned suggestions and would continue to grow in the future. 
Yao Anna responded.
Since announcing her debut in January 2021, Yao Anna's presence in the entertainment industry has never been high, as an actor, her audience popularity is not good, and as a star, she has been criticized for her lack of star taste. has been in the industry for 4 years, except for a few hot searches in the year when she first announced her debut, Yao Anna has been tepid most of the time. But as long as you are out of the circle, it must be because you are ridiculed. 
Yao Anna. She sent **, which was described by netizens as "very hard, but the five tones are incomplete", she danced, and the comments she received were all "It's good that the princess is happy", she took magazine covers, and was evaluated by netizens as "dressing like a female entrepreneur". It seems that in the entertainment industry, Yao Anna is still "unadaptable", and has not yet found a solution. 
In 2021, Yao Anna plans to make her debut, and the debut date is set for her 23rd birthday. To this end, she specially produced a documentary, named "Exceptional Princess", which recorded the whole process of Yao Anna's preparation for her debut, including **, physical training, singing and dancing learning, etc. During the process, she talked about her growth and rarely talked about her sister Meng Wanzhou: "I don't understand why everyone only likes my sister and doesn't like me." ”
It's a pity that the audience doesn't buy it, whether it's for this Dao** or Yao Anna's self-analysis. The reason is very simple - Yao Anna's appearance in the entertainment industry means that some kind of fairness has been broken. Before her official debut, Yao Anna did not receive a professional education, did not experience the trainee period, and did not even have a film and television work. In her explanation, the decision to enter the entertainment industry is "an exploration of the self". But it is such a girl with zero experience who can sign a contract with the most famous entertainment company in China when she debuts, invite top **people to produce**, and also appear on the covers of major fashion magazines and win many hot searches. There is only one reason for this: her father is Ren Zhengfei.
Yao Anna. Yao Anna was born in 1998, formerly known as Yao Siwei, her mother Yao Ling is Ren Zhengfei's second wife, before that, Ren Zhengfei also had a marriage, giving birth to a son Ren Ping and daughter Meng Wanzhou. Different from her sister Meng Wanzhou's growth process, when Yao Anna was born, Ren Zhengfei had already passed the most difficult entrepreneurial stage, and Huawei's market value had reached 8.9 billion, ushering in a period of rapid growth.
Yao Anna was a child.
As the youngest daughter of the Ren family, Yao Anna, who was born with a golden spoon, naturally takes the elite route. Under her mother's arrangement, Yao Anna began to learn piano, calligraphy and ** at the age of 5, practiced ballet at the age of 9, and became the highest level winner of Emperor Ballet at the age of 15.
Yao Anna In 2015, Yao Anna was admitted to Harvard University early with a perfect score on the ACT (American College Admission Test) and entered the computer engineering and statistics major. According to this path, Yao Anna may join Huawei after graduation to assist her father in managing the family business, just like her sister Meng Wanzhou. But soon, the public discovered that Ren Zhengfei's little daughter had her own ideas.

In 2018, Yao Anna was invited to participate in the Paris Clion Ladies Ball, one of the "Top Ten Luxury Evenings in the World". Held every November, the Clion Ball is attended by the world's top celebrities, and the screening conditions are extremely demanding, and even Trump's daughter has been rejected for her application. At the ball, the dance partners of the celebrities were either the heirs of wealthy families or the princes of various countries, and Yao Anna's dance partner was the Belgian prince.
Yao Anna and the Belgian prince also from this stage, the label "celebrity" was pasted on Yao Anna, and her social software often appeared to attend various fashion events.

Her close friends are He Chaoxin, the daughter of gambling king Stanley Ho, and Yuan Jiuer, the "rich second generation". At that time, ** also gave them a name: "Three Sisters of 100 Billion in the United States".

It seems that compared with the family business, Yao Anna prefers the rich and diverse entertainment and fashion industry. And all this became some kind of foreshadowing, laying the groundwork for her decision to enter the showbiz.
In one of the few moments when he talked about his family, Ren Zhengfei once mentioned his apologies for his children: "The most sorry thing in my life is the children, because I am busy with work, I often travel, I have little contact with the children, and I owe a lot." Yao Anna also said in the interview that the most missing thing in the process of growing up is the time with her parents. Therefore, Ren Zhengfei has always supported his daughter's decision to enter the showbiz. On the one hand, he doesn't want his daughter to have regrets, and on the other hand, he thinks that even if he falls, the path of young people must go by himself. When Yao Anna participated in the celebrity ball, Ren Zhengfei also accepted the invitation of foreign ** to enter his house to take family photos for the first time.

Although she got the top configuration when she debuted and had the support of her parents, Yao Anna did not go smoothly after entering the entertainment industry. In her life, she didn't have much experience in the entertainment industry, and almost everything had to be accumulated and learned from scratch. For example, not long after her debut, Yao Anna participated in the recording of the variety show "Chinese Restaurant", and in the first episode of the show, when Huang Xiaoming and Zhou Ye, who met for the first time, chatted warmly about their alma mater, Beijing Film Academy, Yao Anna, who was sitting on the side, couldn't answer, and could only smile awkwardly. And the topics related to her always revolve around the two keywords "father Ren Zhengfei" and "Huawei's second miss".

Another reason is that she has too little "star flavor" on her. After three years in the industry, she posted **, filmed magazines, and starred in short dramas, but they did not make much splash, and the number of fans of the account did not exceed 2 million for a long time, and the number of comments under each Weibo was often only two or three hundred. When she appeared in variety shows, she didn't like to talk very much, she had a very low desire to perform, and she was always bored working, and she didn't even have a hot search after a variety show. Yao Anna's ** teacher once commented on her: "I work hard, but my personal style is too little." This also seems to be the reason why Yao Anna is not popular: whether it is in terms of strength, style or appearance, she is not outstanding.
In the process, Yao Anna also had achievements. Before "Ice Hunting", Yao Anna had starred in "To a Windy Place" as a supporting role, but she did not have many scenes, but she received praise in a small area.

In May 2022, the short film "A Cliff Rises by the Sea" starring Yao Anna won the Palme d'Or for short films at the 75th Cannes International Film Festival. Beauty will always slowly precipitate, and Fanghua will always open quietly. It's just that there are not many such clips in Yao Anna's career as an actor, and she has not gone smoothly on this road of "precipitation and blooming".
Looking at it now, what Yao Anna has experienced seems to have become a situation that many rich second generations and second generations of stars need to deal with after entering the entertainment industry. In Yao Anna's "Tianhao Shengshi" performing arts company, there is also a famous second-generation star, Chen Kaige and Chen Hong's son Chen Feiyu.
Chen Feiyu and his mother Chen Hong.
's father is a director, and his mother is an actor, so it is not surprising that Chen Feiyu will enter the showbiz.
When he was 10 years old, Chen Feiyu, who was still wearing baby fat, starred in the movie "Zhao's Orphan" directed by his father.
Chen Feiyu in "Zhao's Orphan" In 2017, he officially entered the showbiz with the movie "Secret Fruit". After that, with the title of "Chen Kaige's son", the projects that were sent to Chen Feiyu were all top-level projects. After his debut, he starred in the tribute film "My Motherland and Me" brought together by big names, starred in the movie version of "The Best of Us", and also partnered with actor Liao Fan to star in "Gold Rush" produced by Misty Theater. Without exception, they all ended up hitting the streets.

Although his popularity is not low, Chen Feiyu seems to be one breath away from becoming popular, and what people talk about more than his works is his performance in variety shows and his nickname "Arthur". finally gained a wave of popularity with the idol drama "Ignite Me, Warm You" starring Zhang Jingyi, but private photos of love were exposed, and his career suffered a heavy blow. Regarding these "second generations", netizens have a classic comment: "All roads lead to Rome, but some people are born in Rome". When Chen Feiyu "overturned", this sentence was changed to "Arthur was born in Rome, so he will be farther away from Rome at every step." The story of the "second generation of stars" is always similar, and now look at the first work "Secret Fruit" in which Chen Feiyu participated, the second female Zou Yuanqing in the play is also a veritable "second generation of stars".
Zou Yuanqing Zou Yuanqing is the daughter of actor Yan Ni, in 2016, she was admitted to the ** Drama Academy, and in the second year, she partnered with Yan Ni as the starring role, starring in the mother-daughter movie "I Am Your Mother".
A few years after Yan Ni and Zou Yuanqing in "I Am Your Mother", Zou Yuanqing did not stop acting, and successively participated in popular works such as "Mountains and Seas" and "Ode to Joy 3" as supporting roles. The work became popular, but Zou Yuanqing, as an actor, was never remembered. In the eyes of the audience, whether it is appearance or acting skills, Zou Yuanqing is not too recognizable. In the process, she also tried to star in a TV series, and the evaluation she got was: "Can anyone be an actor now?" ”
Zou Yuanqing in the TV series "Mountains and Seas" In 2020, Zou Yuanqing participated in the variety show "Actors Please Be in Place Season 2", on the show, mentor Chen Kaige once commented: "She has a very good teacher at home, and she can study hard with her mother." For her daughter's dream of acting, Yan Ni has always supported her. Not long ago, she starred in the TV series "Grandma's New Life", and unexpectedly, Zou Yuanqing also appeared in the cast list.
Zou Yuanqing and his mother Yan Ni are in the entertainment industry, and this kind of "** acting" is not uncommon. In the popular "Hurricane" at the beginning of last year, Wu Gang, who played the role of "Secretary Dakang" in "In the Name of the People", made a cameo appearance.
Wu Gang and his son Wu Yuqing played the role of Zhang Songwen's stepson and adult "Gao Xiaochen". Because of his exaggerated acting skills and poor line skills, he was called "the actor with the worst acting skills in the whole play" by netizens, and he was scolded on the hot search.
Wu Yuqing, who plays "Gao Xiaochen" in "Hurricane", not all the "second generation stars" who have entered the entertainment industry cannot become powerful. For example, Wang Xiao, who also starred in "Hurricane", played the villain "Yang Jian" in it, and his mother Wang Fuli once won the Golden Eagle Award, and she is a respected old-timer in the entertainment industry.
"Yang Jian" played by Wang Xiao in "Hurricane".
But after Wang Xiao debuted, he started from a supporting role, and conquered the audience step by step with his acting skills. In an interview, he once said: "No matter what kind of achievements this person's parents have achieved, no matter what kind of road has been paved for him, when the camera is really turning, it is still up to this child to act." "Parents can only lead through the door, and it depends on the individual to practice.
Yang Jian chats about the "second generation of stars".
For these "second generation stars", the fame of their parents is the step for them to enter the entertainment industry, and it is also a cage. Because of their background, they brought their own traffic when they debuted, but they also need to bear more scrutiny and discussion. Just like entering a school, while being "exceptionally admitted", they are also facing the possibility of "not keeping up with their studies" and "becoming poor students". Whether you can successfully graduate and obtain a degree may depend on your personal creation.
Yao Anna, on the other hand, they are also very screwed. While enjoying the dividends brought by their background, they are eager to get rid of all this, for example, Yao Anna once lamented in the documentary: "I hope that one day, when everyone mentions me, they think of an artist, not Ren Zhengfei's daughter." Chen Feiyu also publicly shouted Chen Kaige at the party, hoping that in a few years, when people introduce themselves, they will no longer be "Chen Kaige's son", but "Chen Feiyu's father" when Chen Kaige is introduced. How to "find yourself" in the entertainment industry has become a long-term topic for them.
What Chen Feiyu and his father Chen Kaige can't ignore is that although there is indeed so-called "capital" in the entertainment industry, the influencing factors behind whether a star can become popular are luck, talent and timing to enter the industry. For the rich second generation and the second generation of stars, they were able to see the colorful entertainment industry up close at a young age, as well as the profession of "star" that is followed by countless people, so it is easy to be attracted and want to become a "shining" person. But at the same time, it is precisely because they "stand tall" and ignore the gloom outside the light of this industry, until they really enter the industry, they finally taste the bitterness.
Yao Anna With the passage of time, the group of "post-00s", the children who grew up in the entertainment industry - Huang Lei's daughter Huang Duoduo, Li Xiang's daughter Wang Shiling, Guo Tao's son Shishi, and Li Xiaolu's daughter Tianxin, will soon come to the moment of choosing "whether to enter the entertainment industry". Their choices will lead to new stories. There is no right or wrong choice, but the stories of the past can provide some kind of reference for their choice: their parents' fame and ability will not be inherited, their audience popularity and luck will not be transferred, and whether they can find a place in the entertainment industry depends more on the individual, the times and luck. After recognizing this, perhaps, these "second generations" will take a little less detours.
