To say that among our internal entertainment hosts, who can bear the three words of "transparent people" the most, it is Shen Tao.
Say that he is not famous, there are still many audiences who know him, say that he is famous, and there is no popularity, some people even doubt that Shen Tao has no fans at all.
What kind of person is he?
1
Shen Tao was born in an ordinary family in Tongxiang City, Jiaxing City, Zhejiang Province, and dreamed of becoming an anchor since he was a child.
At first, his language foundation was not good, because his mother was a native of the local area, accustomed to using Tongxiang dialect to talk to Shen Tao, even reading ancient poems, resulting in his pronunciation has been inaccurate, will "shepherd boy remote refers to apricot blossom village" will be pronounced as "shepherd boy remote refers to anghua village". Shen Tao confidently recited this poem in public many times, until he had an exchange with his friends and asked the teacher, he did not know that it was wrong.
Fortunately, he has been paying attention to corrections since then, gradually practicing a standard Mandarin, and under the teacher's point, he is determined to enter the Zhejiang Media College and strive to launch an impact on his dream.
But just a few months before the college entrance examination, a big thing happened.
Shen Tao's father suddenly became seriously ill, not only needed surgery, but also had uncertainties about his life and death, which made him feel unprecedented pressure, and overnight, he was going from a dream-chasing child to becoming the pillar of the family. Shen Tao realized that he had to go all out, because now it was not just for himself, but for the whole family, and he wanted to give his family a better life.
There are brave people under the so-called heavy pressure, Shen Tao was not crushed by setbacks, he played steadily in the examination and successfully entered the Zhejiang Media College.
During college, he worked very hard, almost word by word, and hosted a number of large-scale events to exercise his presence skills. After graduation, Shen Tao, who had good business ability, was caught in the eye of Zhejiang Guangdong Group and became the anchor of "Dialing on the Spirit" as he wished, and his dream came true.
Not long after, Shen Tao's career underwent a major transformation. Under an unexpected opportunity, he hosted the unit's internal party, stable control field and witty style, which impressed many colleagues, including Xia Chen'an, director of Zhejiang Satellite TV, who believed that if Shen Tao hosted a variety show, the space for play would be greater.
Shen Tao then began the transformation, and formed a partnership with Hua Shao, and successively did several explosive variety shows, such as "Love to Sing will Win", "Ace Mission Impossible", etc., but the program is very hot, he is not hot, next to Hua Shao, who has a strong personal style, Shen Tao unconsciously became a foil.
Since 2010, Shen Tao has once again transformed into an emotional mentor, full of affinity style and wise speech, which has enhanced the viewing of the entire program, of which "Turn Around to Meet TA" is the most successful, in the case of serious homogenization of many satellite TV blind date programs, showing weak ratings, it has risen steadily, silently breaking through a point.
Shen Tao has since gained popularity, and has also been praised as "China's good son-in-law", and the golden sentences that he frequently burst out in the program, such as "Let the mother-in-law fall in love with you, let the old man be jealous of you", etc., were also once popular on the Internet.
However, with the next stage of the show, Shen Tao was once again forgotten.
In recent years, although he has also served as a host in popular variety shows such as the "Running Man" series and "Ace to Ace", because these programs are mainly based on guests, Shen Tao has not earned any sense of existence, and many viewers even ridiculed him as a announcer.
In this way, Shen Tao has been tepid and has become a senior "transparent person" host.

There has been a lot of discussion about why Shen Tao is not red. Some people say that his personality is Buddhist and does not argue or grab, and some people say that his style is flat and stable and not prominent enough.
But in fact, this is not the case.
Shen Tao, who was born in the class, has a very good business ability, can host variety shows, and is also "stamped" by Xia Chen'an, how can it not be enough? In fact, as long as you look at his program more, you will find that Shen Tao is not bland at all.
On a variety show, Cai Shaofen, who Chinese scum level, was worried that she did not understand pinyin, so she asked Shen Tao for help, thinking that he would comfort her well or "open a back door". Without thinking, Shen Tao clenched his fists and said "come on" mischievously, which made the audience laugh.
In another emotional show, because the female guests were too hot, after the male guests directly shouted "Wow" out of control, Shen Tao asked with a bad smile, is it regretful? Not only did it enliven the atmosphere in an instant, but it also controlled the rhythm of the scene in time.
It can be seen that Shen Tao's style is not as mediocre as everyone says. It is true that there is no scramble, but it is all out of its value concept, Shen Tao believes that the presentation effect of the program is the most important, and it does not matter whether the host can shine or not.
In the interview program, he needs to expound his views as a guest, and he will show more, especially in the emotional interview, his "Tao Yan Tao" is very eye-catching.
However, in variety shows such as "Ace to Ace", which is based on resident guests, Shen Tao will consciously take a back seat and let them perform more. The so-called suppression by Hua Shao is probably because he does not want the ugly scene of "the host grabbing the conversation".
In May this year, the final episode of "Ace 7", he asked to edit the guests as much as possible in the retrospective video, and matched his host as a voiceover.
If it weren't for the guests who couldn't help but thank Shen Tao, no one really knew how much he had paid, which also made Shen Tao lose control for a while and shed tears on the spot.
And a rare hot search.
Because he is really too low-key, usually there is almost no news output.
When "Turn Around and Meet TA" was the hottest, Shen Tao did not take the opportunity to come out, and modestly attributed the credit to "male guests are particularly high-quality". Finally married, there is no extravagance, and the bride is almost not in the picture.
At the moment when entertainment is supreme, this is equivalent to breaking the shortcut to becoming popular.

Years of silent cultivation not only did not let Shen Tao reap fame and fortune, but also made him pay the price of health. In order to strive for excellence, Shen Tao took on a lot of behind-the-scenes work, so he was overworked many times and had to be hospitalized for recuperation and treatment.
Fortunately, Tiandao paid for his diligence, or gave Shen Tao a lot of small luck.
One is the happiness of love. Shen Tao's wife is what he met when he was doing the show, she is a behind-the-scenes person, after handing Shen Tao a microphone once, the two became acquainted.
Nowadays, they are very loving, the wife will intimately tie the husband, and the husband will also cook for the wife' heart, which can be described as a husband singing with the wife.
The second is to accidentally open up new areas.
Although there is no heat, Shen Tao's solid attitude allows him to maintain a good image. Therefore, when he followed the trend and opened the live broadcast with goods, he was not questioned like other public figures, and the steady style of not playing routines even became his invisible golden signboard, helping Shen Tao to create good sales results.
It can be seen that although it is not popular, Shen Tao is also having a tasteful and very happy!
Why did Shen Tao become a "transparent person" in the hosting circle?
Because this is his dream since childhood, and has made a lot of efforts for this, so he has a stubborn professional persistence, unwilling to destroy the overall sense of the program in order to win the heat, and the low-key style of handling has made him miss a lot of opportunities to fry himself, and over time, he has become a transparent person who "only sees the outline, not the color".
But I believe that there will be more and more audiences who understand his good.
