Liu Tao had a very hard time when she was a child, and she could not live with her parents as soon as she was born, because she was a supernatural child in the family, and she was hidden in her grandparents' house.
It wasn't until elementary school that she returned to her parents. But she couldn't imagine that when she graduated from elementary school, her parents divorced and started their own families.
Liu Tao and his brother Liu Bo can only live with their grandparents. But the grandparents are a bit "son-preference". So Liu Tao began to wash the family's clothes at the age of 9, and she bought dozens of pounds of rice from the rice shop to move home by herself, and she also had to transport gas cans by herself.
On such days, music gives Liu Tao warmth. She learned the violin and also the piano.
Because of her literary and artistic expertise, at the age of 15, she entered a certain military literary and artistic troupe with literary and artistic expertise.
She became a literary soldier.
01
In the army, Liu Tao got up at 5 o'clock every day and gathered at 6 o'clock, and his daily life was either military training or learning stage performances. What Liu Tao still remembers is that she fed pigs in the army for a year.
At that time, she and another girl fed the pigs every day and cleaned the pigsty.
It's just that this kind of life ended when Liu Tao was 18 years old, because she retired from the army.
After retiring from the army, Liu Tao had to rethink the direction of life. Thinking about it, she felt that being a lawyer was a good choice.
So she ran to Guangdong University of Foreign Studies to study law at her own expense.
While she was studying law, the trajectory of her fate slowly drifted.
One day she saw the news of recruiting group performances in the newspaper, she felt very interesting, so she went to register, successfully hired, but need to pay 300 yuan first.
When he finished acting in his own group acting, the director called Liu Tao to get paid, a total of 20 yuan.
Liu Tao did not ask for this money, she said to the director: "I just like acting, I didn't think about getting paid." ”
The director thought Liu Tao was very interesting, and after that, he left a lot of group roles for her. Slowly Liu Tao has a lot of friends in the acting industry, and because of her beautiful looks, she can also make money by shooting advertisements.
And because of the number of friends, when she was 22 years old, a friend brought her an opportunity to completely embark on the road of acting.
02
In 2000, under the introduction of a friend, Liu Tao became the "third daughter-in-law Hu Xingzi" of the sitcom "Foreign Daughter-in-law Local Lang", which meant that Liu Tao officially debuted.
Liu Tao cherished this opportunity, she played the "third daughter-in-law Hu Xingzi" very brilliantly, which made her get the attention of Taiwan's gold medal producer Yang Peipei, who invited Liu Tao to participate in the Qiong Yao drama "Huan Zhu Ge Ge 3".
Liu Tao did not want to miss this opportunity, she participated in the audition of "Huan Zhu Ge Ge 3". Just as soon as she opened the door of the audition room of the crew, she was shocked, full of beautiful women, which directly made Liu Tao lose confidence.
Fortunately, she adjusted her mentality in time, and she said to herself: "Just try your best, it doesn't matter if you don't succeed." ”
So she, like other beautiful women, received 5 pages of lines, all of which were dish names and tea names. The crew told them to go home and back and audition in a few days.
As a result, when I auditioned again, only two girls could memorize all 5 pages of lines, one of whom was Liu Tao.
After passing the audition, Liu Tao was confirmed to star in "Princess Musha" in "Huan Zhu Ge Ge 3". For her performance, Qiong Yao was very recognized and praised her.
When "Huan Zhu Ge Ge 3" was filmed, Liu Tao also signed a 5-year brokerage contract with Qiong Yao's Zhongjie Communication and became the same disciple sister of Lin Xinru and Jiang Qinqin.
It's just that "Huan Zhu Ge Ge 3" did not copy the myth of the first and second parts after it aired in July 2003, and this TV series did not help much to increase Liu Tao's popularity.
Instead, the TV series "Tianlong Babu" broadcast in December of this year made Liu Tao's popularity soar, and she played "Aju" in this drama.
Liu Tao was able to star in "Tianlong Babu" thanks to the fact that she shot a magazine cover. Because one day Zhang Jizhong, the director of "Tianlong Babu", saw this magazine and looked at the girl on the cover of the magazine, his eyes lit up, so he contacted Liu Tao through various relationships.
Liu Tao had already heard of Zhang Jizhong's name, and when he heard that director Zhang Da wanted to find himself filming, he quickly packed his bags and flew to Beijing to audition.
What Liu Tao did not expect was that on the plane to Beijing, she would meet an important man in her life.
03
After boarding the plane to Beijing, Liu Tao found that sitting next to him was a very handsome and elegant man, and more importantly, this man was holding a book in his hand, and this book was "Tianlong Babu".
Liu Tao suddenly had the desire to chat, and she said to the man: "Do you like to watch this? ”
The man smiled and replied to her: "I grew up watching Mr. Jin Yong's books. ”
This chat, the two-day conversation box opened, the chat was particularly pleasant.
After getting off the plane in Beijing, the man also took a taxi for Liu Tao until Liu Tao left.
At that time, whether it was Liu Tao or a man, they did not expect that they would have a greater fate a few years later.
Before their big fate arrived, Liu Tao successfully entered the crew of "Tianlong Babu", and she had a scandal with Hu Jun, the actor of Qiao Feng.
In an interview with the media, Liu Tao bluntly fell in love with Hu Jun, the actor of Qiao Feng. She confessed to the media: "I still like to be a little woman, maybe I was not born with strong women material." So I've always dreamed of liking macho men like Qiao Feng. ”
It is a pity that at that time, Hu Jun had already "famous flowers and masters".
Although he failed to dig the foot of the wall, he "lost" Qiao Feng's brother. But because of starring in "Tianlong Babu", Liu Tao's acting career has reached a new level.
She began to receive more offers, and with it her money bag bulged.
After having the money, Liu Tao bought a house in Shanghai in 2004, and she attached great importance to the decoration of this house, so a friend of hers in the construction industry recommended a well-known architectural designer in Taiwan.
When Liu Tao saw this designer, she was shocked, this designer turned out to be a man watching "Tianlong Babu" on the plane, and his name was Li Weimin.
Liu Tao marveled at the wonder of fate.
Since the fate has opened, Liu Tao did not deliberately stop it, she is very satisfied with Li Weimin's decoration design, and with the continuous exchange of getting along, they have become boyfriend and girlfriend.
Liu Tao began a low-key relationship until she met Wang Ke.
04
In August 2007, Wang Ke, one of the "Four Young People in Beijing", brushed shoulders with Liu Tao in the parking lot of the Peninsula Hotel in Wangfujing, Beijing. At that moment, he felt that Liu Tao was too beautiful, but he did not recognize her as Liu Tao, who played "Aju" in "Tianlong Babu".
A few days later, Wang Ke saw a picture of Liu Tao in the newspaper, and he learned that the woman who made his heart move was named Liu Tao.
So he immediately sent his subordinates to "search the whole city" for Liu Tao's "whereabouts", and when he learned that Liu Tao was filming in Zhuozhou Film and Television City, he immediately ran to visit the class. He also attended celebrity fashion parties to meet Liu Tao. And because his Ferrari sports car was lent to Liu Tao by the Famous Car Association to shoot advertisements, he had more contact with Liu Tao.
After a few days of contact, Liu Tao felt very good about Wang Ke, she felt that "he loves me so much, understands me, and appreciates me, I don't want to miss this relationship." ”
So Liu Tao and Li Weimin broke up, and At that time, Li Weimin was very sad, one was because of the loss of love, the other was because of the failure of investment and encountered an economic crisis.
What made Li Weimin even more devastated was that Liu Tao had known Wang Ke for 20 days, and they actually flashed marriage, and they registered their marriage in September 2007.
After receiving the certificate with Wang Ke, Liu Tao published an article called "Terminator" on the Internet, in which she wrote: I never thought that I would meet a person in my life, become the Terminator I love, and let my life be reborn.
On January 6, 2008, Liu Tao and Wang Ke held a grand wedding in Beijing, when media reported that the wedding cost four million yuan and Wang Ke's net worth was alleged to be 20 billion yuan.
It was also at this wedding that Liu Tao announced that he would quit the entertainment circle after marriage and live the life of a husband and a godson.
Liu Tao became the envy of countless girls, and she gave birth to a son, Prince Jing, and a daughter, Wang Ziyan, for Wang Ke.
Liu Tao feels very happy to have such a life, she wrote an article called "Thirty and Standing", she wrote: "Thank you fate for allowing me to harvest so much in the year of thirty years old. My impeccable husband, who pampered me with the purest and truest love, did everything in his power and responsibility to create our lives..." She also wrote: "In such a loving family, we have ushered in a healthy and lovely baby, and now I am really happy and satisfied..."
At this time, Liu Tao would not have thought that a crisis was about to impact this happy little family, and she had to make a comeback to film.
05
With the advent of the financial crisis, coupled with investment failures, Wang Ke went bankrupt and still had 400 million yuan in debt.
Unable to accept this situation, Wang Ke suffered from depression and became a severe drug dependent, and once he did not take the medicine, he would have a "withdrawal reaction".
Faced with such a situation, Liu Tao did not choose to divorce Wang Ke, but actively treated Wang Ke.
In order to make Wang Ke recover as soon as possible, she took Wang Ke to Travel to Europe and rebuild her soul, and they went to Frankfurt, Venice, Rome, Monaco, and Paris.
When they arrived in Switzerland, Wang Ke suddenly said to Liu Tao: "Wife, thank you for accompanying me, let's go home, I'm fine, we will definitely be able to break through together." ”
It's just that although Wang Ke recovered, Liu Tao began to worry about the problem of 400 million debts.
In order to pay off the debt, Liu Tao has no concern about how the outside world evaluates her, and she has come back to filming.
Fortunately, Liu Tao's acting skills have not regressed, and the market still recognizes her.
She filmed wildly and helped Wang Ke pay off 400 million debts in 5 years.
In the process, Liu Tao starred in a TV series called "The Virtuous Wife". During the broadcast of this drama, Liu Tao published an article called "Bottom Line" on social platforms. In this article, Liu Tao described in detail Wang Ke's downfall after bankruptcy, and described how they worked together to face difficulties.
As soon as this article was published, it touched countless netizens, and since then Liu Tao has had the title of "National Virtuous Wife".
At the same time, some people also questioned Liu Tao's hype. In response, Liu Tao responded: "From my marriage to my comeback, the topic has been swirling around in my marriage. Many people are curious and want to solve the mystery, hoping to ask something that can laugh at you. I often think that these people ask you right and wrong, do not really care about you, I hope to write my own monologue and feelings in words. ”
But it is undeniable that Liu Tao and Wang Ke really worked together to tide over the crisis and pay off 400 million debts.
Although there were also rumors of their divorce after this, they chose to debunk the rumors in time. And because of the "national virtuous wife" persona, Liu Tao filmed, went on variety shows, and did live broadcasts, earning a lot of money, but she turned herself into a tycoon, and Wang Ke became a "rich man".
It's just that for Liu Tao now, everyone hopes that she can cherish her reputation when she makes money. In the TV series "Great Song Palace Words" broadcast on March 20, Liu Tao played a teenage girl at the age of 43, and was angrily criticized by netizens for "just bad money".
If Liu Tao does not cherish his reputation as much as a bird cherishes feathers, sooner or later the filter of "National Virtuous Wife" will shatter.
Therefore, I still hope that Liu Tao will act well and not forget his original intention.
