I really enjoy Wang Qiye’s videos and I was wondering if you know if she has a dance background, and if so what kind of dance? As a former dancer myself, she moves like one. I couldn’t find much information about her online in English so just curious. Thanks for doing these translations!
Online articles about her say that she did classical chinese dance (古典舞蹈) and was a dancer for 7 years before 2020 COVID lockdowns caused a break in work. She became a beauty creator on various shortform video platforms such as xiaohongshu (under the account 七叶酱), making make-up and gufeng hairstyle tutorials before getting signed to an MCN (multi-channel network). At that point, she became a full time shortform video creator and incorporated more comedy into her skits, gaining popularity around April of 2022. She currently has 14.7 million followers on douyin.
