In the huge fame fair of the entertainment industry, some people become famous overnight, while others work hard for many years but remain unknown. Wang Like, an actor whose name sounds a bit strange, has already played more than 40 leading roles on the screen. However, the strange thing is that despite the astonishing number of works, when the three words "Wang Like" are mentioned, most people react with confusion.
However, as long as we change the angle slightly and mention the unforgettable Qinling Mountains in "Blood Romance", everyone's memory is instantly awakened: "Oh! So it's her~" This contrast makes people wonder, this is the one who was Why do the "daughters" favored by CCTV always fail to become popular?
The dilemma of "face recognition" in the entertainment industry and the road to counterattack
Wang Like is no stranger to the entertainment industry, but strangely, people tend to remember her face instead of her name. In the latest update she shared on January 22, her youthful and energetic image makes it hard to believe that she is already 36 years old. However, Weibo is deserted, with few likes and retweets, which makes people wonder: Who is this beauty?
The recent Weibo popularity of Gillian and her "collision" can be said to be worlds apart. Even Wang Churan, nicknamed "Little Liu Yifei", has gained a lot of attention because of his similarities to Liu Yifei. So, why can’t such a beautiful woman as Wang Like achieve such popularity?
Perhaps this has something to do with her "crowded" face. In Wang Like's stills, her face not only looks like Gillian, but also looks like Ning Jing. This face is undoubtedly good-looking, but because it lacks its own characteristics, Wang Like is in the predicament of being ignored by the audience.
However, this "crowded" face is exactly the "stepping stone" for Wang Like to enter the entertainment industry. When she was young, she was selected by the director because she looked like Ning Jing, and starred in her first drama "Blood Romance". The success of this drama allowed Wang Like to officially enter the entertainment industry, and also allowed her to experience the taste of fame.
But behind his fame, Wang Like’s nightmare began. Because she looks like someone else, she can never get rid of the label of "substitute". When the audience sees her, they will always think of other stars instead of herself.
The cross-border road from dancer to actor
Wang Like, who comes from a poor family, entered the dance school with the full support of his parents. At that time, she was full of love and yearning for dance. Every movement and every rhythm seemed to be the melody of her life. The teachers at the dance school were also impressed by her hard work and talent, and took the initiative to apply for a tuition exemption for her, making her dance journey smoother.
However, just when Wang Like was determined to show off her talents in the field of dance, her dance coach pointed out a new path for her - becoming an actor.
This suggestion was like a stone thrown into her peaceful heart, causing ripples. Wang Like began to think, is he really suitable for dancing? Or should I try a completely new field?
Under the guidance of noble people, Wang Like was successfully admitted to the People's Liberation Army Art Academy and began her acting career. She met the third noble person in her life - the director of "Blood Romance".
The director took a fancy to her potential and talent and gave her the opportunity to show her talents in front of the screen. Wang Like also seized this opportunity and won the audience's recognition and love with his outstanding performance.
However, the road to the entertainment industry is not always smooth. Although Wang Like's performance in "Blood Romance" is remarkable, she did not become popular because of it. She fell into the embarrassing situation of "people who are popular in dramas are not popular", which made her feel full of loss and frustration.
But she did not give up. The sense of gap brought by the high starting point actually inspired her fighting spirit. She understands that the ups and downs in the entertainment industry are normal, and only through continuous efforts and self-discipline can we gain a firm foothold in this highly competitive industry.
A regular on the screen, her name is not worthy of her name.
Her face is definitely very familiar to viewers who often watch CCTV. She's like the girl next door, swaying on the screen from time to time, but people can't always remember her name.
said she is not popular, but that is not necessarily true. Wang Like's acting skills have a certain reputation in the industry. She has never stopped playing dramas. At her busiest time, she could act in six dramas a year! This is no ordinary high yield. Counting her works in detail, there are more than 50 films and TV shows, of which she has been the heroine in more than 40 films. This achievement is worthy of pride for any actor.
Moreover, Wang Like also has a special title - "CCTV's daughter". why? Because most of the TV series she participated in were broadcast on CCTV, good dramas such as "Jiao Yulu" and "Omura Official" are her masterpieces. Viewers would always see her unexpectedly when changing channels on CCTV, and over time, they would remember this familiar face.
However, what is puzzling is that although Wang Like works so hard to appear in TV series, her popularity has never increased. After watching her plays, it is often difficult for the audience to remember her as a person. It wasn't until the 2023 film "Wind and Rain Send Spring Back" that Wang Like became truly "popular".
But this time she became popular not because of her good acting skills, but because her image in the play was so impressive. In the role of "Mistress" she played, not only did she dress in a tacky way and didn't know how to dress herself up, she also had a little more flesh on her face.
Especially when she dances, her clumsy look makes people laugh or cry. The audience said one after another: Where is this mistress? He’s just a sketch actor!
For a time, Wang Like's acting skills were questioned like never before. Viewers who had liked her were also disappointed. When they look at the greasy "mistress" on the screen, they can't think of the beautiful and serious Wang Like from before.
Of course, we can't completely deny Wang Like's acting skills just because he failed in one role. After all, every actor has his or her own high moments and low moments. Maybe this failure is just a small setback in her acting career.
Speaking of Wang Like’s private life, it is even more interesting. This actress who has been active on the screen for many years has been single! Now 36 years old, her love life is still blank.
A deeply affectionate person in the drama, Wang Li Ke’s single documentary and charity heart
In this entertainment industry full of scandals, Wang Li Ke is like a breath of fresh air. Some people say that because she acted too much, she lacked that touch of emotion in real life?
In fact, this is not the case. Wang Like's singleness is more because she devotes herself to her work. She devotes all her enthusiasm to every role and every scene.
Recalling the 2007 "Red Lantern", Li Tiemei played by Wang Like seemed to be herself. At that time, in order to better interpret the characters, she often let herself get deeply involved in them, breathing and sharing the fate of the characters.
Co-star Yu Rongguang once lamented that this girl is so serious about acting! However, it is precisely because of this seriousness that Wang Li Ke almost couldn't get out of the show. On the day when
was finalized, Wang Like confessed to Yu Rongguang in the tone of Li Tiemei! This caught everyone off guard. Fortunately, Yu Rongguang is a responsible person. He patiently persuaded Wang Like and brought her back to reality from the drama. Since then, Wang Like has never had any relationship scandals.
This made her parents quite worried. After all, their daughter's happiness is their greatest wish. But Wang Like seems to be in no rush to find his other half, and instead is more focused on his work and life.
She found a new goal in life - doing charity and public welfare. She often appears in various charity activities, using her own strength to help those in need.
Not only that, Wang Like is also committed to the promotion of traditional culture.On her Weibo, you can often see her sharing content about traditional culture.
On January 13, she also promoted Sichuan Opera culture during filming, letting more people know about this ancient art.
Conclusion
Although Wang Like has not yet entered into marriage and has not had children, who can say that this is not a lifestyle of her own choice? Just like a wonderful concert, being unmarried and having no children is just a small episode and does not affect the beauty of the entire piece.
Maybe one day, she will join hands with the right person to write a new chapter in life together. But don’t forget that in addition to marriage and family, Wang Like has more things that deserve our attention and praise.
Her outstanding performance in the film and television industry has won herself countless applause and praise. In this way, even without the blessing of marriage and children, she is still a winner in life.
