Edit | Sun Dasheng
Recently, the popular drama "Genius Basic Law" officially announced a series of guest actor lists, and 37-year-old Tong Yao was actually surprised.
Judging from the official posters and copywriting, Tong Yao should play a dance teacher named "Yao Yao" this time, and is also one of the ex-girlfriends of the protagonist Lin Zhaosheng (Lei Jiayin).
In the play, the former is a popular goddess with perfect body proportions, and the latter is an untrimmed, sloppy "mathematical maniac".
The combination of red flowers and green leaves is not a good match no matter how you look at it.
However, "unsuitable" is the subjective perception of others, and "suitable for" is the element of harmonious coexistence between partners.
Just like Tong Yao and her real husband Wang Ran, when they first got married, netizens also said that their age difference was too big, and they didn't look like a match at all.
Now that 3 years have passed, the couple not only has a stable relationship, but Tong Yao has been spoiled as a princess, and the smile on her face is getting more and more every day.
Therefore, "old men" also have the benefits of old men.
At least they have richer life experience than small fresh meat, and they know better what women want.
Especially, a woman like Tong Yao who has been injured.
01
In 1985, an ordinary family in Kunming, Yunnan Province, gave birth to a baby girl, and her parents named her Tong Yao.
The following year, when the baby girl was still learning to speak and toddler, Wang Ran, an 18-year-old Beijing boy, had gone to the United States to study, imagining the day when the future would stir up the business world.
At that time, 1-year-old Tong Yao certainly could not imagine that her life after more than 30 years would be entrusted to a "big brother" who was comparable to her father's age.
But what is even more ambiguous is that Wang Ran can't guess that the pillow goddess he wants to marry in the future is still not weaned at this time.
But sometimes, fate is so wonderful.
Two seemingly unequal lives can be experienced through a meandering story and finally entangled together.
Of course, the beginning of all this must start from Wang Ran's return to China.
Wang Ran "stayed in the United States" to study economics and MBA at Harvard University, and his resume can not be described as excellent.
After graduation, he was faced with two choices. First, find a big investment bank on Wall Street, and get an annual salary of one million; The other is to return to China to start a business, although the potential market for domestic investment is large, but it needs to face greater uncertainty.
Risks and opportunities coexist, ambition and status quo are mutually beneficial, and it is clear that Wang Ran finally chose the latter.
In August 1995, ciccumb, the first Sino-foreign joint venture investment bank in Chinese mainland, was successfully established, and Wang Ran, who smelled the wind, immediately returned to Beijing and began to plan his own entrepreneurial road.
A month later, Wang Ran and his partners founded Oriental Huaer Financial Consulting, which mainly serves as financial advisors for private equity financing and mergers and acquisitions.
But what Wang Ran did not expect was that he misestimated, or estimated, the domestic capital environment in advance.
At that time, the country's old private enterprises were all made up of industry, and these people held a lot of money in their hands and did not need to pull investment at all.
Most of the state-owned enterprises that need capital operation are Sinopec, PetroChina, Mobile Company, and Unicom, but Wang Ran has just returned to China, and he has no connections in his hands, nor can he contact ZF resources, so naturally there are no orders.
So in less than two years, the first company Wang Ran founded was closed, and he also went to the United States again.
02
When Wang Ran broke down on the road to entrepreneurship, his future wife Tong Yao was trying to grow up and wait for the buds to be released.
At the age of 11, Tong Yao's height has grown to 1 meter 63, and her small face is pink and pink, and even when the teacher sees it, she can't help but want to "pinch twice" on her face.
Just at that time, the Chinese Song and Dance Troupe Art School came to Yunnan to enroll, and at a glance, tong Yao, who had a good body shape and good appearance conditions, was favored.
Not long after, Tong Yao was taken to Changping, Beijing, and began a year-long closed dance basic study.
A year later, Tong Yao returned to his hometown of Kunming, was admitted to a five-year art secondary school, and learned folk folk dance.
In fact, when you think about it carefully, some things are quite interesting.
In the year when Tong Yao was practicing dance in Beijing, Wang Ran ran into walls everywhere in Beijing, and later Tong Yao returned to Kunming, and Wang Ran also went to the United States again.
The two people stayed in the same city for a year, although they never met, but I don't know if the magnetic field has changed, and I always feel that there is an inexplicable force pulling them to meet again.
Soon, the time came to 2000, that year, the domestic Internet market pattern underwent great changes, Alibaba, Excellence Network, Ctrip, Shanda, eBay and a series of other companies have been founded.
At that time, Wang Ran, who was in the United States, once again smelled the wind and moved.
He first resigned from JPMorgan Chase and then flew back to Beijing to form EKay Capital with his partners.
Wang Ran's idea at that time was very simple, "Since so many people come out to do Internet companies, they want to dig for gold, then we will do water sales, sell shovels, help them merge, finance, and go public." ”
I have to say that Wang Ran did catch up with a good time.
Because it was the period of barbaric growth of domestic Internet companies, the "upstarts" were thirsty for talents, and Wang Ran just happened to be sending charcoal in the snow.
Therefore, just by virtue of the relationship with Shao Yibo of eBay. And because he and NetEase's CFO at the time, He Haiwen had a common friend, after intermediary maneuvering, he was finally introduced to Ding Lei, the founder of NetEase, as a financial consultant.
In this way, Wang Ran gradually made his own reputation in the investment banking circle, and Yikai Capital also became the first batch of companies in the new investment bank to eat crabs.
After Wang Ran stabilized his position in Beijing, Tong Yao on the other side also came to Beijing alone.
In 2002, she took the professional examination of both Nortel and China Opera schools, and was admitted to both schools.
In the end, Tong Yao chose to enter the Chinese opera with the result of "the first in professional courses" and became a classmate with the article, Shen Jiani and others.
I just don't know that many years later, when Tong Yao thinks of those sad and painful memories, will she regret the choice she made?
03
In fact, if Tong Yao had not entered the Chinese opera, then she would not have met Zhang Mo. If she hadn't met Zhang Mo, then she wouldn't have encountered the darkest moments of her life.
Of course, then she may not meet her current husband Wang Ran.
In 2003, Tong Yao visited a friend in the Kunming "Break Free" crew, and the 18-year-old stood there, whether she was fascinated by the group performances was unknown, but she was looked at by Zhang Mo, the "prince master" of the crew.
When he went back to inquire, Zhang Mo learned that this girl who looked exactly like "Zhang Ziyi" was his own school sister, so he launched a crazy pursuit.
In fact, in colleges and universities like China Opera and Nortel, the most important thing is handsome and beautiful women, Zhang Mo is naturally not handsome enough to be outstanding, but he can't stand that people have a "good father"!
And Tong Yao originally did this line of work, if she really married Zhang Mo, Zhang Guo was her "father-in-law", and future film and television resources must not fly.
Perhaps with this calculation, Tong Yao and Zhang Mo naturally walked together.
But Zhang Mo grew up in a divorced family, his birth mother Luo Xiuchun was extremely fond of him, his biological father Zhang Guoli did not deal with him, and his stepmother Deng Jie dared to be angry with him.
Therefore, he developed his later arrogant and arrogant personality, not only grumpy, but also beat people at every turn.
In this regard, the people around him always turn a blind eye, really can't take the money to settle, who let the old Zhang family on his only seedling?
Tong Yao also learned that he had this problem after being with Zhang Mo, and after saying a few wrong words, the other party's things immediately smashed over, mobile phones, chairs, furniture, and what things were smashed by hand.
Not only that, Zhang Mo also had a strong desire to control, as long as Tong Yao was not around, his phone would chase after him desperately.
After a few months, Tong Yao was not beaten out of his physical disability, and the person was almost driven crazy. In desperation, she had to break up with Zhang Mo.
Zhang Mo's answer was: "I advise you to change your career, don't stay in the middle of the drama, if you break up with me."
Zhang Mo said very absolutely, but Tong Yao was not dead hearted. Later, once, she took advantage of the other party's good mood and mentioned another breakup.
But who knew that Zhang Mo immediately changed his face after listening to it, and directly took the hot tea in his hand and spilled it on Tong Yao.
The water was a little hot, but it couldn't cover the cold in Tong Yao's heart.
A few days later, Zhang Mo asked Tong Yao to meet again, and she did not dare to refuse the other party on the phone. But as soon as the two of them met, when Tong Yao saw Zhang Mo's menacing look, she was still afraid after all.
There was really no way, so she made a clumsy excuse and wanted to slip away.
Unexpectedly, this move directly angered Zhang Mo, and then the "Zhang Guoli son beating incident" that attracted national attention occurred.
According to witnesses at the time, Zhang Mo's entire violent process lasted for 3 minutes, during which Tong Yao was hit to the nose and mouth bleeding, but Zhang Mo still did not give up.
It wasn't until Tong Yao's consciousness became blurred that he stopped.
After the incident, the online reaction was particularly strong.
But with Zhang Guoli standing up and apologizing for his son, and Zhang Mo being expelled from the Chinese opera, the matter finally calmed down.
What is even more ironic is that Zhang Mo's stardom has not been hindered in the slightest, and even if he had not been arrested for sucking D later, he might have been able to reach the ranks of first-line stars.
And Tong Yao, with the name of "the first in Chinese opera", watched the same class of Tang Yan, articles, and white lilies become popular one after another, but she was influenced by various gossip and rumors, and once "disappeared" in the entertainment industry.
No way, the entertainment industry is so cruel. Even if you look beautiful, as long as you have no background and no connections, you can only become an "outcast".
Fortunately, Tong Yao finally waited for her backer.

In the years when Tong Yao's acting career was hindered, Wang Ran's company was thriving.
By 2012, his Yikai Capital has gradually opened up the gap with its peers, and formed the first echelon of new domestic investment banks with China Renaissance Capital, Hanergy Investment and Hanli Capital.
Even for a while, Wang Ran's personal fame surpassed that of Yikai Capital, and many businesses were directed at him.
Yes, Wang Ran's entrepreneurial road has finally survived.
Ten years of cold windows, ten years of dormancy, ten years of rise, at that time Wang Ran had money and fame.
But there is no beautiful person around to accompany me, and I always feel that something is missing.
And Tong Yao's side should look good, have a figure, but without a strong background support, can only hover on the edge of the entertainment circle.
In the end, I don't know if someone "threaded the needle" in it, or the fate of the two, in short, the two came together.
In 2013, Tong Yao and Wang Ran's love affair was exposed.
When photographed by the media, Tong Yao sat curled up on a stool with her legs curled up, looking a little careless. Wang Ran, on the other hand, behaved like a gentleman, always taking care of each other, living like an "old father".
That year, Tong Yao won the "New Actress" award at the Annual Star Ceremony of Chinese TV Dramas, for meng Xizi, whose acting skills were exaggerated in "Militia Ge Er Egg".
In 2014, Tong Liya and Chen Sicheng got married, and Tong Yao somehow became Tong Liya's girlfriend and took the opportunity to market her new drama.
In 2019, Tong Yao and Wang Ran held a wedding in Italy.
What happens to a rich man's wedding? Western-style romance, Roman style, ancient castle elegance, fireworks, and finally the two newcomers made a vow of life under the blessing of relatives and friends.
In the same year, Tong Yao won the Best Supporting Actress of Magnolia with the role of "Song Yunping" in "Dajiang Dahe", as well as the "Annual Outstanding Performance Drama Star" of the TV Drama Quality Ceremony and the "Annual Strength Actor Award" of the FEIA Annual Ceremony.
Still in the same year, Tong Liya resigned from "Thirty Only" due to fan boycott, and Tong Yao took over the baton and played the role of "Gu Jia" successfully out of the circle.
Then, Tong Yao walked into the ranks of "85 Flowers" and was very popular in the performing arts market.
Tong Yao was on fire, although from the surface, her popularity was not directly related to Wang Ran, but her girlfriend Tong Liya "assisted" and helped her a lot.
But judging from her later liking of Tong Liya and Lei Jiayin's scandal, things are not simple.
In fact, whether Tong Liya "helped" Tong Yao out of friendship or interest, the author does not know.
What the author only knows is that Tong Yao's husband Wang Ran entered the film and television circle and had a lot of dealings with Tong Liya's ex-husband Chen Sicheng.
At that time, the stars in the circle invested madly in LeTV, Chen Sicheng was also among them, and Wang Ran's Yikai Capital served as the exclusive financial adviser.
Later, at the 4th China Film and Television Capital Summit, Chen Sicheng, Wang Ran and others conducted a roundtable dialogue on "breaking the dimensional wall" as creators and investors respectively to discuss the future of the film and television industry.
Of course, these are their public meetings, and as for whether they have personal relations, I am afraid that only they know.
In short, whether it is because of capital promotion or the favor of heaven, anyway, since he and Wang Ran came together, Tong Yao's acting career has become smoother and smoother.
So from this point of view alone, Wang Ran should also be a noble person in her life.
At least Wang Ran, no one would ever dare to splash her with tea, or punch and kick her.
Because this time, she Tong Yao had a "big backer".
