On October 18, 2020, Tong Yao was nominated for the 13th Golden Eagle Festival Best Actress with the TV series "Great Rivers and Great Rivers".
Competing with her for the award are Zhao Liying, Xiao Taohong, Jiang Wenli, Sun Li and the old drama bone Teacher Wang Xihua.
Among them, Zhao Liying's voice is the highest, after all, her "Know It or Not" was very popular that year, and it was shortlisted for seven nominations at once.
Although Tong Yao's "Big River" is also quite good, this drama mainly highlights the role of the male protagonist, so Tong Yao's presence in the play is not very strong.
But when the award guest read out that the winner was Tong Yao, everyone present showed a surprised expression, even Tong Yao himself was surprised, feeling a little incredible.
After all, Tong Yao went offline after more than 20 episodes of "Big River", compared to the other five heroines, the sense of existence is too low.
And Zhao Liying? She is the heroine of more than 70 episodes, whether it is popularity or acting skills, she is much higher than Tong Yao.
But even so, Tong Yao still won the queen of the Golden Eagle Awards with an absolute advantage, and Zhao Liying relied on her super popularity to win an actress award loved by the audience.
Obviously, such a result is not convincing to the public, and the reason why Tong Yao can win the award is partly because of her acting skills, and the other part depends on the mysterious man behind her.
As netizens said: "Don't say anything, look at her husband's information and understand!" ”
01
Many people know tong yao, starting from a beating incident in 2003, and before that, not many people knew who Tong Yao was.
Tong Yao, a native of Kunming, Yunnan Province, was born in 1985 to ordinary parents and family conditions, but her parents were very supportive of her study of art.
This sister has learned dance since she was a child, plus her body is still good, and her posture is also there, under the influence of art, she has a special temperament at a young age.
However, before the age of 18, Tong Yao never thought that she would become a big star, and everything began with Zhang Ziyi's "My Father and Mother" movie.
In 1998, Zhang Ziyi became popular with this movie, and her posters were posted all over the streets and alleys, becoming a hot female star in China.
And Tong Yao's appearance is very similar to Zhang Ziyi, many people mistakenly think that Tong Yao is Zhang Ziyi's sister, so Tong Yao, who has just been admitted to secondary school, is called "Xiao Zhang Ziyi".
To be called a big star, the heart is naturally very beautiful, and the carefree Tong Yao thought: "If I am admitted to the Chinese opera, can I also become a big star?" ”
In 2002, Tong Yao applied for the Beijing Film Academy and the Central Academy of Drama Acting Department, and at the interview site, Tong Yao successfully passed by relying on her dance posture and appearance, and won the first good result in her major.
The interview teacher of the Chinese opera praised her as "Zhang Ziyi Big One" and "Gong Li Small One", and told her that as long as the culture class scored 200 points, the admission was absolutely no problem.
In order to follow in the footsteps of her sister Zhang Ziyi, Tong Yao finally chose Chinese opera and became an old classmate of Tang Yan, Bai Baihe, WenWen, Sun Jian, Yang Shuo, Shen Jian and others.
The members of this class are not simple, the fame is bigger than one, but some people have made some foolish things after becoming famous, and finally ruined their great future.
And Tong Yao also plunged herself into darkness because of a campus romance.
02
After Tong Yao entered the university, he quickly became famous in the Chinese opera by relying on the name of "Xiao Zhang Ziyi", which attracted the pursuit of many teachers and brothers for a time.
And Zhang Mo is one of them.
Zhang Mo is the son of Zhang Guoguo, who belongs to the second generation of stars, and his temper is not only grumpy and eccentric, but also because he was pampered by Zhang Guoli from childhood, he has developed a bad disease.
However, after all, people are the second generation of stars, resources and connections are very rich, he participated in the "Kangxi Micro Service Private Interview", "Because of Love", "My Life" and other film and television dramas at the age of 15.
In the circle, there is also a little fame, plus he has resources, connections, and money, under his sugar-coated shells, the simple Tong Yao did not hold back, and eventually fell.
During the love affair, the two spent a beautiful campus love, he liked her face, she admired his domineering, each taking what he needed, and the beads were united.
However, with the deep understanding of the two, Tong Yao found that Zhang Mo was not suitable for him, so she slowly began to be cold to him and wanted to break up with him.
But Zhang Mo, who was moved by the true feelings, was willing to let go easily, and as soon as the stinky temper came up, he began to insult Tong Yao, and even threatened her not to break up with herself, otherwise she would not have a good life.
Tong Yao couldn't provoke him, so he had to avoid him and stay away from him. During that time, she was in a state of great fear and under great pressure in her heart.
She had no background, no connections, no one to support her behind her back, and her parents, who were thousands of miles away, couldn't help her.
There was no way, she could only bear it silently.
In order to stay away from him, Tong Yao ran to the northeast to shoot a drama, but it was precisely because of filming this drama that she fell into a scandal.
Originally, there was a clear stipulation in Chinese opera that students under the third year of college were not allowed to shoot dramas without the consent of the school. If you really want to shoot, you must have the signature of the department leader to approve it.
Tong Yao thought that the opportunity was rare and was reluctant to miss such a good opportunity, so she found the department and got the approval note.
So the question comes, how did this sister get the approval note? No one knew at the time.
But in 2003, a news about Tong Yao's "unspoken rules" by the department leader spread in the school, and then reached Zhang Mo's ears.
At that time, they had not really broken up, Zhang defaulted to wearing a green hat for himself, and in anger, he found Tong Yao and asked her to explain this matter to herself.
That night, under the door of Tong Yao's dormitory building, Tong Yao came as promised, wanting to take this opportunity to make a break with him, but did not expect that the two had a conflict in the process of talking.
Subsequently, Zhang Mo moved his hand and dragged her to the vicinity of the bunker at the entrance of the school, knocking her to the ground, fisting and kicking, resulting in a fracture of the nasal bone, congestion of both eyes, and multiple injuries to the body.
Tong Yao had no choice but to kneel down and beg for forgiveness, but Zhang Mo didn't listen at all, until he beat her unconsciously.
Fortunately, some classmates passed by, quickly called the police, and with the help of classmates, Tong Yao was sent to the hospital in time, so that she was not hurt again.
The impact of this matter was too great, and then the media reported on the matter, and as soon as the news came out, it immediately appeared on the front page of the major media, and Tong Yao was suddenly well known by the melon-eating masses and had a certain popularity.
However, this popularity did not bring her good luck, but instead plunged her acting career into a quagmire.
03
With continuous media reports and the intervention of the policeman's uncle, Zhang Guoli, who is Zhang Mo's father, had to apologize, but his words were very subtle, claiming: "There is a reason for the matter, and I can't say it now." ”
And Zhang Mo did not realize his mistake at all, not only refused to apologize, but still arrogantly said: "Only I dump other people's share, where is the matter of others wearing green hats for me?" ”
Later, after a multi-faceted investigation, a department head named Huang Dingyu became the focus of the incident, and this elder brother repeatedly used his position to have abnormal behavior with students.
Not long after, the old brother was expelled from the school and taken away by the police for investigation.
Zhang Mo was also expelled from the school because of this matter.
As for whether Tong Yao was unspoken by Huang Laoge in the end, a report in the Xiaoxiang Morning Post in 2004 gave the answer.
It is this answer that makes Tong Yao basically have no drama to shoot in the next five years, no one wants to look for her to shoot, and the future is dark.
But fortunately, tong yao still has dramas to act after graduation, relying on this opportunity, Tong Yao slowly honed his acting skills.
It was not until 2012 that Tong Yao met Wang Ran, the boss of Yikai Capital, that her fate began to be completely reversed.
Wang Ran is an authentic Beijinger, 17 years older than Tong Yao, and the two belong to the kind of father-daughter relationship in the circle, which can also be said to be love at first sight.
This old brother is not simple, mainly manifested in the following aspects:
First, his family background is not simple, his parents are high-level intellectuals, it is said that his father graduated from Tsinghua University, and his mother was a high-achieving student of the National People's Congress.
Both parents started by knowledge, and Wang Ran's grandfather also has a considerable status in the capital, in short, the family is prominent, and the background is not simple.
Because his parents are high-level intellectuals and have high IQs, Wang Ran has also inherited the excellent genes of his parents well, and has been a school bully since he was a child.
Not only that, but this old brother is also very social, he is not the kind of student who reads dead books, his mind is quite flexible, his organizational skills are also very strong, and he has been the president of the student council in the school all his student career.
In the sophomore year of high school, this elder brother was directly selected as the representative of the "Sino-US Education Exchange Program", and then went to the United States to study, staying for 12 years.
Second, he has a high academic background, first admitted to the University of Minnesota in the United States, and two years later was admitted to the world's famous Harvard University, majoring in business administration.
After graduating from Harvard, the brother did not rush back to China, but chose to train himself in the United States, found a job on investment, and later entered Goldman Sachs and JPMorgan Chase Bank.
In those years, he accumulated rich operational experience in these world's top companies, laying a solid foundation for his own entrepreneurship after returning to China.
Third, this old brother has a strong spirit of adventure, dares to do and dare to do, and has a particularly strong ability to execute. After returning from the United States, he directly founded The Oriental Wahl Company, focusing on investment in the financial sector.
However, Wang Ran, who has no entrepreneurial experience, runs his own company completely in accordance with the operating model of the American company, and the result is that the soil and water are not satisfied, resulting in the failure of entrepreneurship.
This time entrepreneurship made him lose a lot, not only did he not make money, but also the money he earned in the United States was also lost.
In the end, penniless, he had to return to the United States again to collect gold, and by the way, he was accumulating some entrepreneurial experience to prepare for the future development of his return to China.
04
After Wang Ran returned to the United States, he learned the lessons of his own entrepreneurial failure, began to patiently learn business skills, and successively operated several large mergers and acquisitions projects, involving an amount of more than 2 billion US dollars.
In 2000, Wang Ran was 32 years old.
This year, this old brother has sat in the position of vice president of the international investment bank, but he did not mix step by step, but once again chose to return to China to start a business.
Relying on his sense of smell in the capital market, he has sensed the rapid development of the domestic financial industry, so he decisively took out all his savings and founded Yikai Capital.
This company mainly provides services for companies that need financing, mergers and acquisitions, and this is exactly what he is good at, truly knowing himself and knowing the other, and never losing the battle.
Ma Yun once said: "To do business, we must learn to do the business of acquaintances first, and then do the business of strangers." ”
Wang Ran did this, his first order was from a friend's company, and then established business contacts with NetEase, LeTV, Tencent, Baidu and other Internet companies.
In 2016, he successfully helped LeTV Sports complete a private fundraising of 8 billion yuan, and he made several hundred million yuan from this transaction.
Wang Ran is a clever and genius in the financial field, and in the process of running these projects, he quickly discovered another business opportunity, the entertainment industry.
To this end, he also opened his own column, dedicated to writing about entertainment. For example, he believes that China's entertainment industry is relative without hype, and hype is absolute.
From his article, it can be completely seen that he is a clear touch on some doorways in the entertainment industry, completely like a veteran in the industry.
After that, he used his contacts and resources to directly talk about cooperation with Light Media, the largest entertainment industry group in China, and also became good friends with several big guys of Light.
In addition to Light Media, Huayi Brothers is also his cooperation object, he and Huayi's Erwang brothers have a very good relationship, often eat together and talk about business.
Every time Wang Zhongjun held a banquet, he would invite this old brother to come with him, which was completely an old friend's style.
Not only that, he has cooperated with entertainment companies such as Hunan Radio and Television, Jiangsu Radio and Television, and Bona Pictures.
He and Ma Yun, Pan Shiyi and others are also considered friends and have cooperated.
Over the years, his business has covered all aspects of the entertainment industry, and companies in the entertainment industry have basically cooperated with him.
He casually sent a circle of friends, like Ma Huateng, Zhou Hongyi and other big guys will come to the scene, interact with him, this kind of jianghu socialization, have to make people admire the ability of this old brother.
Beauty is matched with heroes, and Tong Yao has become the beauty he knows best.
05
In 2012, Tong Yao met Wang Ran at a party, and at that moment, the two quickly fell in love, and then began the romance of the wind and snow night.
But at this time, Tong Yao has not completely come out of Zhang Mo's shadow, and her acting career is even more messy, and she can't see the future.
But after meeting Wang Ran, everything changed.
Under the operation of Wang Ran, this elder brother signed Tong Yao to Bona Film Group and became their artist.
Some students should ask why they arranged to be in Bona instead of the Huayi Brothers with unlimited scenery. In fact, the reason is very simple, because Wang Ran is Bona's financial general adviser.
Under Bona's operation, Tong Yao's films are one after another, first arranging a series of film and television dramas for her, such as "Taipei Drifting Snow", "Courtship And Marriage Period", "Mother-in-law of the Only Child", "New Girlfriend Era" and so on.
Subsequently, he starred with Huang Bo in the anti-war drama "Militia Ge Er Egg", playing Meng Xizi, who dared to love and dare to hate, and finally won the "Leap Actor of the Year" award for this role.
This award heralds the beginning of her award, and it also heralds the beginning of her good drama.
Especially after her relationship with Wang Ran was exposed, her resources were more visible to the naked eye, and many films had a direct or indirect relationship with Wang Ran's company.
For example, the popular drama "Dajiang Dahe" in which she participated was produced by Shang Shi Pictures, and Wang Ran spoke on the company's forum.
Another example is the hit "Thirty Only", the producer is Shanghai Lemon Meng Film and Television Media, and Yikai Capital is the exclusive financial adviser of this company.
There are also "Ruyi Zhuan", "Rebel", and the recent hit "Heart Residence", etc., all of which have more or less the shadow of Wang Ran.
Relying on such resources, it is simply easy to win a woman with some acting skills.
The standard for measuring an actor's popularity is to win awards, and the more awards are won, the faster the reds are and the more resources there are.
In just a few years, Tong Yao won the Best Supporting Actress Award of the Magnolia Award by relying on several popular dramas, the after-view of the Magnolia Award, the after-the-scene of the Golden Eagle Award, the quality actress of the National Drama Festival, the Outstanding Actress Award of the Feitian Award, etc., almost came to a Grand Slam.
And all this is because of getting to know Wang Ran, turning over her award history, before knowing Wang Ran, she almost did not win an award.
This is the charm of capital, and it is also Wang Ran's strength.
06
In 2019, Tong Yao and her boyfriend Wang Ran, who was 17 years older than her, entered the palace of marriage, and for a time she became the most envied actress in the circle.
The wedding was held in the Italian castle, the whole wedding, the big coffee gathered, the scene came a lot of business and entertainment in the field of big coffee, are Wang Ran's friends.
The witness of the two-person wedding is Xu Xiaoping, a well-known angel investor in China, such resources, relying only on an ordinary Tong Yao, how can it be easily invited?
But even so, she did it, not only did it, but also did it perfectly.
Career and marriage have been harvested, and Tong Yao has become the hottest first-line actress in China.
Although her acting skills have been controversial, although she has won awards softly, many people are not convinced, but she just took it, and she still took a lot.
Now Tong Yao is no longer the Tong Yao who was originally beaten, she has fully realized the transformation from hell to heaven, and realized the dream she wants.
It has been said that marriage is never saved from a saved relationship, that it is neither anyone's savior nor anyone's refuge.
But Tong Yao married Wang Ran, and after marrying, she turned over, which just refuted this sentence, wasn't it?
