One afternoon in late spring, in a secluded niche café, a young woman quietly took off her sunglasses and got up to greet the older man who had just entered.
This woman first looked at Zhang Ziyi, and when she looked closer, she was a small actor who was blackened by the history of Tong Yao.
The man drank just coffee and hurried away.
After that, Tong Yao took over many top-notch dramas such as "Ruyi Chuan", "Great Rivers and Great Rivers", "Thirty Only", and "Heart Residence". What is the deal between this man and Tong Yao? Why should he help Tong Yao, who has been hidden in the snow since 2004?
In 2001, Tong Yao won the notice of Chinese Opera and North Shadow with the first place in the professional course.
She is considered to be The Big One Zhang Ziyi and the Little One Gong Li.
She chose Chinese opera and became a classmate of Bai Lily, Tang Yan and Yang Shuo.
Fortunately, the freshman year was selected by the director to play the female number two Bai Ru in "Lin Hai Snow Field". At that time, there was a rule in the Chinese opera that it was not possible to shoot before the third year.
But at that time, Tong Yao could not resist the temptation and secretly went to shoot.
When filming "Lin Hai Snow Field", Tong Yao and the cameraman were very familiar. The cameraman later went to the crew of "Young Da Chincha" to take a picture, and Zhang Mo was in the crew at the time.
Both are the same age, both are in the Chinese opera, the photographer introduced Tong Yao to Zhang Mo.
The thin and tall Tong Yao, dressed simply, innocent, well-behaved, and playful, attracted Zhang Mo at once like a flower in Yunnan.
Zhang Mo began to pursue Tong Yao enthusiastically, but Tong Yao was a slow heat type and did not agree to him at once.
At that time, there were many people chasing Tong Yao, but Tong Yao knew that she had no relationship in Beijing, nor did she have the resources, and she would have to work her own in the future, and she could not be obsessed with her children's love.
But Zhang Mo is different, his father is Zhang Guoguo, his stepmother is Deng Jie, and what he has in his hand is resources.
Zhang Mo is older than herself, very domineering, should take care of girls, after considering it, she agreed to fall in love with Zhang Mo.
At that time, everyone in the class knew that Tong Yao's boyfriend was Zhang Mo. Zhang Mo's fathers, Zhang Guoguo and Deng Jie, also liked Tong Yao.
However, slowly, the news that Tong Yao's filming was not withdrawn from school spread in the department, saying that it was done by Huang Dingyu, the head of the department.
This Huang Dingyu was once rumored to be a female student who used his position to sneak rules, and the students he taught were Shi Ke, Gong Li, Tao Hong, Li Yapeng and others.
Once he gave Tao Hong a 100-point performance class, and Tao Hong described his class: I am very grateful to him, he let me really know my creativity, he determined my direction as an actor, that is, to enjoy creation. There are many ways to be an actor, and some actors may have never tasted my happiness in their whole life.
Looking at Tao Hong's current open marriage with Xu Zheng, in Tao Hong's eyes, physical infidelity is not a thing at all, has nothing to do with marriage, and has nothing to do with feelings. It is not difficult to judge who this Huang Dingyu is.
Hearing the ambiguous rumors of Huang Dingyu and his girlfriend, Zhang Mo, who had been left with a psychological shadow by the breakdown of his family since childhood, could not control the fire in his heart and called Tong Yao out.
Tong Yao had learned From Zhang Mo's violent temper and did not dare to come out. Later, Zhang Mo sent a message to Tong Yao to get something for her, but Zhang Mo repeatedly pestered, and Tong Yao went out.
The weather was very cold that day, looking at Zhang Mo's breathless appearance, Tong Yao wanted to go back, Zhang Mo pulled her aside, Tong Yao said, I went up to get a dress, and Zhang Mo said, "Less come with me to this set", and pulled Tong Yao out and threw her on the ground.
Subsequently, it was to kick Tong Yao's head and other places with his feet, Tong Yao was suddenly blinded, reacted, and knelt down to beg for forgiveness, "What's the matter, let's talk about it?" Look at Zhang Mo like a crazy beast, fists and feet combined.
Suddenly, Tong Yao felt that his eyes were out of sight, and when he touched it with his hand, his face was full of blood. In this way, Zhang Mo still did not let go, until tong Yao was knocked unconscious.
Later, teachers and classmates came and took Tong Yao to the hospital. On examination, the nose bone was fractured and the left eyeball was bleeding.
A year before graduation, Zhang Guoli went to the school and pleaded with the leaders of the college to stay in the school for probation, but because the incident was too bad, Zhang Mo was ordered to withdraw from school.
During this period, Zhang Guoli understood the situation, and when interviewed by reporters, he has been stressing that he can only blame Zhang Mo for bad luck, and some things are not clear and cannot be told.
Zhang Mo also said that he was not such a small person, if he was not green, he would not be so unable to control himself.
Within a few days, Huang Dingyu was taken away.
Everyone speculated that Huang Dingyu had a style problem, and Tong Yao also admitted that he was sexually assaulted.
Some say that whether she can be sentenced depends on whether Tong Yao was voluntary or forced at the time.
About a week later, Huang Dingyu was acquitted because he had no evidence.
Later, someone pulled out that Tong Yao had talked about a boyfriend Li Xiaoguang in high school, and after being admitted to the Chinese opera, he dumped people.
Dumping the first love, seducing the teacher, climbing the high branch to get acquainted with Zhang Mo, these three crimes made Tong Yao bear the name of the heart machine girl, was ostracized by her classmates, avoided by the teacher, no one played in class, only Yang Shuo pitied her and played with her.
The four years of college left for most people are beautiful, but what is left for Tong Yao is indeed a history that dare not touch.
This effect continued into the years after graduation. At that time, Bai Lily won the Best Actress Award at the 31st Hundred Flowers Awards for Popular Film for "Thirty-Three Days of Lost Love", and she was also nominated for best actress at the 49th Taiwan Film Golden Horse Awards and the 15th Chinese Film Huabiao Awards for Outstanding Actress.
Tang Yan is also not ambiguous, and was personally designated by Zhang Yimou as an "Olympic baby" to go to Athens to participate in the closing ceremony performance of "China 8 Minutes". In 2007, she was nominated for best actress at the 10th Shanghai International Film Festival for her film debut "Parting is Love". Later, he participated in "The Legend of Paladin 3".
Watching the students around them have dramas, there are awards, those years, Tong Yao has no drama to shoot, a year after graduation, he took over a "Dare not say I love you", with unknown actors, filmed in the unknown movie network broadcast.
During that time, as long as Tong Yao was a role, whether it was a protagonist or not, she would shoot it, and she was very careful.
In addition to filming, she ran the crew every day and auditioned, but the entertainment industry rejected her completely, she was ridiculed by her peers, and she was asked by unknown small directors.
At this time, Zhang Mo had just finished filming "Dragon Non Dragon Phoenix Non Phoenix" directed by his father Zhang Guoguo, and was preparing to star in the "New Biography of Ji Gong" tailored for him by his father.
That time was the most difficult time for Tong Yao to stay up, and he had no chance to show it.
Time flickered, in the past 9 years, the entertainment industry's resistance to Tong Yao is no longer so fierce.
In 2009, Tong Yao ushered in a turning point in her life. Bona Film and Television, together with China's Hong Kong and Taiwan and Japan, cooperated in a youth love drama "Taipei Drifting Snow", with the original author as the screenwriter, and the premiere was in Japan.
The combination of many places, not limited to the country, is produced by Bona. After Tong Yao heard the news, she felt that this was an opportunity given to her by heaven, and she had to seize it no matter what, even if it was a small role.
Prepare the materials to audition. Tong Yao is worthy of Tong Yao, and the four years of hibernation in the Chinese opera have allowed her to perform freely and with natural feelings. As if picking up a pearl, the director looked at Tong Yao with admiration and let Tong Yao play the role of female number one, singer May. The play later won the Chinese Film Media Award.
Since then, her fame has slowly spread in a small range, participating in TV series such as "Home Cooking" and "The Last Hug", although the stars of her partner are not top streams, but they are also on local satellite TV.
At this time, Tong Yao polished and cultivated in life and the human feelings of the crew, and slowly became mature, slowly clarifying what he wanted and what his persistence was.
All the preparations are in place, just waiting for the east wind. At this time, Tong Yao did not know whether his future was light or dark.
Until she met Wang Ran.
Wang Ran was born in Beijing in 1962 to an intellectual family, and Wang Ran's parents attach great importance to education and are also very planned for Wang Ran's education.
Sure enough, he lived up to expectations, and Wang Ran grew into a bully.
Study well, but not nerds, Wang Ran from middle school to university is an active member of school activities, student cadres.
In his sophomore year of high school, Wang Ran came to Hawaii in the United States as an exchange student and began a year of high school junior life.
After graduating from his junior year of high school, he took the American college entrance examination and became a student at Macalest College in the United States.
Later, he transferred to Harvard University.
Perhaps it is this kind of enlightened family that grew up and received a more open education in the United States, and Tong Yao's little thing is not a matter at all in Wang Ran's place.
I met Wang Ran at the 12th anniversary celebration of Bona.
With the sonorous drum beat of the countdown from 12 to 1, the 12th anniversary celebration of Bona Film Group was held on the banks of the Huangpu River in Shanghai, with not only heavyweight guests from Chinese and foreign film festivals, but also guests and friends who have walked hand in hand with Bona Pictures in the past 12 years.
At that time, Wang Ran, who returned from the United States and served as the financial director of Bona, was also present, and after the founder Ding Dong spoke, everyone began to move freely.
For staggered cocktail parties, meeting hypocritical greetings, Wang Ran did not like such an atmosphere. Trying to get through the wind, I took a glass of wine and came to a secluded place near the river.
And the little shrimp Mi Tong Yao was afraid of running into acquaintances, mentioned the past, and quietly came to the window near the river. The river wind is accustomed, watching the river rippling, ten miles of ocean field, Tong Yao's heart is ethereal, when can he filter out the experience he has experienced, when can he get out of the day when there is no upper and lower meal, and worry about no drama?
Tong Yao, when she was quiet, was full of perseverance in purity, what made this little girl not get to know the magnates at the banquet, sighing and worrying here?
Wang Ran took off his pen suit, put it aside, and walked over with a wine glass.
Tong Yao was accustomed to seeing upstarts, and she was also accustomed to meeting old men who talked to each other. Didn't move.
Wang Ran said, "What are you thinking, why don't you go in and get to know everyone?" Tong Yao said, "It is useless to know."
"Why?" A few years ago, he was busy with business at home and abroad, Wang Ran did not know Tong Yao, and the two did not intersect.
Tong Yao said without anger, "My name is Tong Yao, you can look over your mobile phone and you will know."
Wang Ran searched his mobile phone, full of "Zhang Mo violently beat Tong Yao", "Tong Yao was unspoken rules" and the like, the context, was introduced 360 degrees without dead ends.
"You were also the first professional in that year, and you were admitted to the Chinese Opera and The North Film", did not ask the authenticity of the time, but saw the glory of your own past.
Tong Yao suddenly, for this middle-aged man, was not so repulsive. She looked carefully at the middle-aged man, about 40 years old, with average looks and elegant manners, unlike those vulgar directors.
"Affected by this, you have very few dramas now," Wang Ran asked gently.
"Yes, no one dares to look for me." Tong Yao said, very calm, as if he had become accustomed to it.
"Is it convenient to leave a phone?" Wang Ran asked. Tong Yao gave Wang Ran one of the phones he left when looking for the crew.
Wang Ran has a flexible mind and a unique business sense of business. In particular, what he is best at at this time is venture capital.
After Wang Ran came out of Harvard in 1995, he and his friends founded a small financial company. At that time, Ma Huateng was still studying pagers, Liu Qiangdong was still studying in college, there were few mergers and acquisitions in China, and Wang Ran's company went bankrupt after 3 years.
After the failure of entrepreneurship, Wang Ran returned to the United States again, working as an M&A manager at JPMorgan Chase and a senior manager in the fixed income department at Goldman Sachs, and participated in more than 2 billion mergers and acquisitions.
In 2000, after returning to Beijing, Wang Ran established Yikai Capital, which was involved in financing and mergers and acquisitions.
Helped Harvard Business School classmate Shao Yibo achieve the acquisition of eBay, helped Jia Yueting's LeTV Sports private equity financing of 8 billion yuan, and operated the merger of Shanda acquisition of Huayou Century and Youku Tudou.
At present, 15 companies under Yikai Partners have hundreds of millions of assets.
Regardless of whether Wang Ran judged Tong Yao to be a potential stock out of pity for Tong Yao or from the perspective of venture capital, anyway, under wang Ran's recommendation, Tong Yao starred in "Militia Ge Er Egg". The partner is Huang Bo.
At that time, Huang Bo had already become famous since "Crazy Stone", and in 2009, he became the best actor of the Taiwan Golden Horse Awards with "Bullfighting".
Partnering with such a powerful faction is a good learning opportunity, and at the same time, Huang Bo's high emotional intelligence allows Tong Yao in the filming to have no ideological baggage and play very well. Through this drama, she won a small award - the "New Actress" award at the annual star ceremony of Chinese TV dramas.
Getting such an opportunity, Tong Yao was already mentally prepared to thank him.
In the film and television circle, there are no resources, no connections, it is difficult for you to be seen, not to mention that Tong Yao is still carrying the burden of Zhang Mo.
However, Wang Ran has great respect for Tong Yao, and their exchanges are more about the exchanges between the film and television circles and the capital circle.
Imagine Wang Ran's wealth, and the diamond king's fifth, what kind of woman has not seen it.
Wang Ran once said, "I think the happiest state is when two people snuggle up to each other, listen to music, have a sea view outside the window, or have the shadows of trees, and there is an echo of music in their ears, together with someone who loves each other." For me personally, when I look at a girl, I will especially appreciate the girl's point, that is, she can understand, or what we often say is to be sensible, she knows what she should do when you are busy. This is quite important to me. ”
It is precisely that after Tong Yao was beaten by society, he was such a sensible person. And Tong Yao dances well and does things low-key, although it is a last resort.
The relationship between the two has become increasingly unusual, and in 2013, the two were photographed drinking coffee together.
In 2014, the two and the man's parents were photographed visiting the park together.
With popularity, with the blessing of capital, Tong Yao is no longer the little star who shoots aimlessly, and Wang Ran's unique film and television investment vision has created a unique fame route tailored for Tong Yao.
In 2014, he co-starred with Jiang Xin and Zhang Xinyi in the urban love drama "The New Girlfriend Era", playing the literary and artistic youth Zhou Xiaobei, under the promotion of Jiang Xin and Zhang Xinyi, bumping into Zhang Ziyi, and the image of literary and artistic young women won a large number of votes among young women.
In 2016, he starred in "Ruyi Zhuan" with Huo Jianhua and Zhou Xun, playing the noble concubine Gao Xiyue, a milk murderer, and finally receiving a box lunch, which was reluctant to the audience.
In 2018, Tong Yao ushered in the highlight moment of her life, participating in "Dajiang Dahe" with Yang Shuo and Wang Kai, playing the simple and kind", "Song Yunping" who gave up her studies for her brother and brother.
With this role, Tong Yao won two awards: "The 25th Shanghai TV Festival Magnolia Award for Best Supporting Actress" and "The 30th China Television Golden Eagle Award for Best Actress".
From then on, Tong Yao no longer had to envy Bai Lily and Tang Yan.
In 2020, with "Thirty Only", Tong Yao once again sprinted to the TV series "After the Sight".
She portrayed the wise and calm "Gu Jia" who helped her husband take care of the company externally, tore the little three inwardly, and squeezed into the circle of high-society wives.
Tong Yao seized the opportunity, even if she got married, she did not stop filming.
In 2019, Tong Yao and Wang Ran ended a 6-year long love run and consummated their marriage in an ancient castle in Italy, the wedding was low-key and luxurious, and there was no high-profile official announcement. The main marriage is Xu Xiaoping, a famous angel investor.
After marriage, Tong Yao did not rush to have children, but continued to accept endorsements and sign drama contracts.
The recently broadcast "Heart Residence" and Haiqing's performance of the opponent drama have also caused heated discussion.
Tong Yao married such a husband, gentle and mature, and her career became more and more clear.
Recently, in Qixinbao, search for Tong Yao, you will find that Tong Yao is currently affiliated with Yikai Partner Group, that is, Wang Ran Company, and he has also established his own Xiamen Duotongren Culture Media Studio in 2020.
I hope that Tong Yao has experienced a bottom in life, understands that happiness is not easy to come by, cherishes the people in front of her, and has greater achievements in film and television art.
