In 1986, while filming the work "Beautiful Prisoner", Tao Huimin encountered an accident on the set.
Because the extras operated the props improperly, the bullets in the gun pierced through the chamber and burned half of Tao Huimin's cheek.
Thanks to an experienced doctor who helped her treat the wound afterwards, she was able to leave no scars in the end.
Before that, Tao Huimin was beautiful in appearance, and she was known as the "first beautiful woman in Jiangnan", and this unexpected accident almost made the show business circle lose a good actor with both virtue and art.
Tao Huimin was born in Ruian, Zhejiang Province in 1966, where her father worked in the local grain department and her mother was an ordinary working-class worker.
She inherited the excellent genes of her parents, she was born beautiful since childhood, and she has a lively and sunny personality, can sing and dance, and has shown a good talent for literature and art very early, and she has begun to perform on stage when she was in the second grade of primary school.
In 1978, the Ryan Yue Opera Troupe openly recruited new actors, and 12-year-old Tao Huimin signed up with the encouragement of her mother.
At that time, there were more than 3,000 children who applied for the examination, and the quota given by the Yue Opera Troupe was only 3 people, which can be described as "thousands of troops crossing the canoe bridge".
In the assessment link, she successfully conquered the judges present with a song "Nanniwan", and finally was successfully admitted without suspense.
Tao Huimin is very fond of the Yue opera "Dream of the Red Chamber", and her biggest dream is to become a well-known actor like Wang Wenjuan.
To this end, in the days of the Yue Opera Troupe, it is even more hard work, even in leisure time, it will practice in the practice room.
Because of his solid foundation, he soon became the soul of the Yue Opera Troupe, often performing on stage to pick a single beam, and after four years of joining the troupe, he successfully won the Little Hundred Flowers Award.
At that time, the Zhejiang Provincial Department of Culture intended to promote the local Yue opera culture, so it selected the top actors in the major Yue opera troupes to form a team and went to Hong Kong to participate in cultural performances, and Tao Huimin was naturally on the list of participants.
After the successful completion of the performance in Hong Kong, these powerful cadres from major Yue opera troupes then formed the Xiaobaihuayue Opera Troupe.
And Tao Huimin is still eye-catching among the people, when she played Lin Daiyu in the Yue opera "Burial of Flowers", which vividly interpreted Lin Daiyu's beauty and weakness.
In 1984, Changchun Film Studio was preparing to prepare for the film version of "Five Daughters Bye Shou", and Tao Huimin was also invited to star.
In the film, although the fifth daughter Wu Feng, who she played, did not play much, every appearance was amazing, and her graceful appearance, coupled with skillful and smooth acting skills, made Tao Huimin quickly emerge in the show business circle.
Director Lu Jianhua was very satisfied with Tao Huimin's performance, so he decided to make Tao Huimin his royal actor.
Then the director did not break his promise and took the lead in sending her an invitation when shooting the film.
At that time, Tao Huimin was not yet 20 years old, and the shooting location was set in the far northeast, and the head of the Yue Opera Troupe was not at ease with a little girl wading through the mountains and waters, and at first did not agree to the director's invitation.
In order to win Tao Huimin, the director promised to let his daughter accompany her to the set, which obtained the permission of the Yue Opera Troupe.
However, in the process of filming this play, Tao Huimin accidentally encountered an accident, which almost caused her to be disfigured, but fortunately everything was in danger.
After the injury, the film crew deliberately let her rest in peace, and deliberately sought a stuntman to replace her.
However, Tao Huimin was worried that the stuntman's performance style was quite different from her own performance style, which affected the look and feel of the film, and finally insisted on going into the battle herself.
Tao Huimin's serious and dedicated attitude has been praised by the on-site staff.
It is reported that during the filming of the film, she also used her time to shoot the cover of the magazine, and this magazine happened to be seen by director Xie Tieli, so she became deeply interested in her.
At that time, Xie Tieli was preparing to shoot a film version of "Dream of the Red Chamber", and had been looking for actors for the film, and after taking a fancy to Tao Huimin, he sent two staff members to the northeast to find himself.
After meeting me, Xie Tieli learned that she had a solid foundation in opera and was more in line with the role in her hand, and finally worked hard to do the work of the Tongyue Opera Troupe, and invited Tao Huimin to the set.
When she first entered the crew, Tao Huimin was under a lot of pressure, because she was partnered by Liu Xiaoqing, Lin Moyu and other first-line actors.
In contrast, she has less experience, so she is more humble and cautious, giving 100% of her energy.
According to Xie Tieli, during the training of the crew, Tao Huimin has been obscure, does not like to chat with the actors around him, and is the most diligent and hard-working of the actors.
In the three years of shooting, she did not take other works, and carefully carved the role of "Lin Daiyu".
Because of this, the "Lin Daiyu" she played is so deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and this "Dream of the Red Chamber" has also become an important milestone in her acting career.
In her own view, because of this work, she has truly leapt from a Yue opera actor to a film and television actor.
The movie "Dream of the Red Chamber" has just been completed, and Tao Huimin has received an invitation from the crew of "Yang Naiwu and Little Cabbage".
At first, she was afraid that she would not be able to refuse, but the teachers of the Yue Opera Troupe made her actively fight for it and trusted her strength, so she rushed to Shanghai to audition.
After the audition, Tao Huimin stayed in Shanghai to wait for the news, and when she saw that the crew had not moved, she once thought that she had lost the election.
Fortunately, under the repeated persuasion of her friend Mao Geping, Tao Huimin stabilized her position and continued to wait, and finally waited for the heroine invitation sent by the crew.
This play at that time can be described as an unprecedented response, but also let Tao Huimin's popularity rise again, it is said that the Yue opera troupe at that time would receive many letters from the audience every day, for Tao Huimin's "little cabbage" played by uneven.
More revelations said that at that time, this drama was too popular, setting off a boom of "national viewing", and a producer on CCTV also "complained" that Tao Huimin had affected everyone's normal work, because everyone chased the drama until they could not stop.
At the same time as the career was smooth, Tao Huimin also encountered a wonderful love affair.
After becoming famous and popular, she was quickly named a "popular goddess", surrounded by excellent opposite sexes.
In 1989, they officially entered the marriage, the other party's name was Shang Qingmin, and both were literary and art workers.
After marriage, Shang Qingmin was more considerate of his wife, and Tao Huimin once revealed that he was busy filming in those years, and he had always been a husband doing logistical work behind his back.
And Tao Huimin always obeys her husband's wishes, never takes intimate scenes outside, the couple respects each other, supports each other, and is a model couple who is praised in the circle.
In the first few years, Tao Huimin believed that having children would affect her career development, although Shang Qingmin always had the desire to be a father, but she also fully respected his wife's wishes, and never urged the other party in this matter.
Later, Tao Huimin gradually felt her husband's desire for children, and finally decided to put the matter of having children on the agenda, and after giving birth to her daughter, she insisted on fitness and shaping, and strived to return to the best state as soon as possible.
During this period, husband Shang Qingmin also worked hard to encourage and support his wife.
In two months, Tao Huimin lost 20 pounds, and her body shape was almost the same as before giving birth, and then she resumed work and filmed for the first time and continued to devote herself to the cause she loved.
In 1993, Tao Huimin was invited to the stage of the CCTV Spring Festival Gala, and collaborated with Yue opera master Ma Lan to sing the classic song "Visiting the Temple Fair".
During this period, the Nanjing Frontline Cultural and Labor Troupe also rehearsed here, and the beautiful and generous Tao Huimin attracted the attention of the leaders of the regiment.
The following year, the Nanjing Military Region Television Art Center was preparing to shoot a new drama "There is a Sea on the Other Side of the Mountain", and the drama side first thought of the female lead candidate Tao Huimin.
Tao Huimin finally lived up to expectations and completed this work well, and two years later, she was hired by the Nanjing Military Region Frontline Repertory Theatre to continue to shoot more high-quality masterpieces.
Seeing that Tao Huimin's career has reached a new peak, but the weather is unpredictable, her husband Shang Qingmin unfortunately suffers from cancer.
In order to save her lover's life, Tao Huimin even gave up all her work and personally took care of her husband every day, but in the end, Shang Qingmin still regretted his death.
The sudden departure of her lover made Tao Huimin feel sad in her heart, but for her daughter, Tao Huimin must bravely cheer up and live a strong life with her daughter.
For the next ten years, she never came out of the haze of widowhood, and she was trapped in thoughts and could not extricate herself.
Until later, Tao Huimin's life finally had a bright light again, and she met the dancer Wang Shizhong.
It is reported that Wang Shizhong had excavated Zhou Xun in his early years, and he was also unique in vision and talented.
After learning of Tao Huimin's encounter, Wang Shizhong paid close attention to the life of the mother and daughter, especially her daughter as if she were her own, which completely touched Tao Huimin's long-sealed heart, and finally the two entered the marriage hall hand in hand.
After having happiness again, Tao Huimin naturally cherishes it more, and in her spare time, she will take more time to spend with her family.
Now that she is 55 years old, she occasionally appears in some TV series to enrich her life.
And her daughter Wang Taorong also came out of the pavilion, under the artistic influence of her parents, Wang Taorong also chose the artistic path.
Judging from the daughter's recent photos, she inherited her mother's beauty genes, and 21-year-old Wang Taorong was even more beautiful than her mother.
Previously, the mother and daughter had recorded a program together, and Wang Taorong also said that her mother was an idol she had followed all her life, and she also intended to develop towards the entertainment industry.
I hope that Wang Taorong will finally get what she wants and continue to write about her mother's career glory.
