In 2004, in the movie "House of Flying Daggers", Zhang Ziyi played the role of the young sister, who performed a water sleeve dance that was so graceful and stunning that it amazed the audience. But in fact, the real owner of this dance was someone else, and she was Wang Yabin, who played Wang Xiaomeng in "Country Love".
In 2009, due to the great success of the first two parts of "Country Love", Zhao Benshan began to prepare for the filming of the third part. However, the beloved Ivory Mountain goddess Wang Xiaomeng in the first two parts was replaced by another actor, which made many viewers express their disapproval. What kind of secret is behind this? And what kind of development has she had after leaving the stage of Country Love?




When she was young, she was weak and sickly. In order to exercise her body properly, she chose dance according to her own interests. From then on, she had an indissoluble bond with dance.
With the support of her parents and teachers, she continued to work hard on her path as a dancer. At the age of 16, she won the gold medal in the National Television Dance Competition with her classical dance "Fan Dance".
It was this water sleeve dance that attracted the attention of director Zhang Yimou, who was preparing to shoot the movie "House of Flying Daggers" at that time. The heroine Xiaomei in the play, as the top dancer of Mudanfang, had to perform a dance. How to design a classical dance that would impress the audience became the primary problem.
It was at this time that he thought of Wang Yabin, who was good at water sleeve dance, and she lived up to everyone's expectations. The water sleeve drum dance "The Fairy Pointing the Way" designed and performed by her amazed the audience and received rave reviews.
She and Mr. Zhao Benshan became acquainted because they performed on the Spring Festival Gala stage together. Their shows were broadcast one after the other. During rehearsals, Uncle Benshan was very fond of this cheerful and talkative girl and invited her to train for his dance team.




He then invited her to star in his comedies "Marshal Ma" and "Country Love", and thus the Ivory Mountain Goddess Wang Xiaomeng was born.
In the first two parts, Wang Xiaomeng not only won the love of many male gods such as the only college student Xie Yongqiang and the rich second generation Wang Musheng in the play, but also won the love of many audiences outside the play. She was even called the well-deserved "Tofu Xishi", so that after the actors were replaced later, many audiences refused to buy it.
She herself also responded that when Township 3 was being filmed, she was preparing for her graduation dance performance, A Midsummer Night's Dream, in which she was not only the choreographer but also the leading actress.
The schedule conflicted with the filming of the third part, and she was unable to make a decision for a while. Finally, she was unwilling to give up the dance career to which she had poured all her efforts, and could only regretfully reject the invitation from the crew. Just like that, she withdrew from the stage of Country Love.




After leaving the filming of the TV series, she focused more on her dance career. Not only did she set up a studio, she also compiled stage plays with her friends. She has been devoted to research for many years and even won the "Outstanding Achievement in Dance Award" in the Oliver Award, which is known as the "Oscar of the Dance World".
Many people say that without Wang Xiaomeng, we would not know Wang Yabin. In fact, even without Wang Xiaomeng, she would still become an excellent dancer. It was never Wang Xiaomeng who made Wang Yabin successful, but Wang Yabin herself.
