At the Golden Eagle Festival Awards Gala, Yin Tao, who once again lifted the Best Actress trophy after 16 years, choked up tears when she delivered her acceptance speech.
From the Golden Eagle Award organizing committee to the producer, director, and production staff of "The World", to all the audiences and families who like "The World"... Yin Tao thanked everyone in his speech.
But in fact, we should thank her even more.
Thanks to her for creating such a vivid and beautiful role as "Zheng Juan", and thank her for using her calmness through time to show the public another beauty other than "white and thin".
Turn silence into beauty
Wang Hailing, the screenwriter of "The World", said: "Zheng Juan is the most difficult character to write in the whole play. ”
She is the quietest character in "The World", so quiet that it has almost become a background board of the old Zhou family. When others are noisy or laughing, this woman is quietly handling the work in her hands. Even on the first day of the new year when everyone rests.
How to put a character who is extremely quiet to the point of color? Yin Tao racked his brains.
"There is a big difference between me and Zheng Juan's personality, so I adjusted various details during the performance, such as the speed of speaking, the speed of turning eyes, and so on."
"When I interpreted the role of Zheng Juan, I did not completely follow the direction of bitterness, I hope everyone can feel the warmth and strength behind her forbearance and silence."
I believe that for all friends who have watched "The World", even if it has been many years, they will remember the woman with two twisted braids, a torn coat on her bare legs, and sitting on a kang silently wearing a sugar gourd. Her face was originally full of sorrow, and as soon as she raised her head to meet the dappled sunlight outside the window, she accidentally released a soft beauty with 3 points of brightness and 3 points of sexiness.
This kind of beauty belongs to Zheng Juan and also to Yin Tao.
Post-vision cultivation notes
In 1999, 20-year-old Yin Tao was admitted to the drama department of the People's Liberation Army Academy of Arts and became Shen Teng's classmate. From the first day of enrollment, the drama stage has become the most sacred place in her heart and the closest place to her dream.
During college, Yin Tao's happiest thing was to cooperate and collide with her classmates on the stage, releasing her inner love and polishing her inner impetuosity.
When graduation was approaching, the school lined up a drama "I'm Waiting for You in Heaven", and Yin Tao was the actor of the heroine Bai Xuemei. With this role, she has won the "Golden Lion Award", the highest academic award in the field of Chinese drama, the 8th China Drama Award Cao Yu Screenplay Award, the 12th Wenhua Award Performance Award, and the 15th Shanghai Magnolia Drama Award.
A proper debut is the pinnacle.
Subsequently, Yin Tao was favored by Gao Xixi and starred in five of his works in succession, once known as "Xi girl".
Even the most talented actors sometimes can't escape the fate of "water and soil". From the drama stage to film and television dramas, Yin Tao was filming "The Sky of History", which caused frequent NG due to unadaptation, which greatly annoyed Zhang Fengyi of the same play, and even said to her directly: "Child, you have to speak people's words!" He also said that he had worked with many people in the military art and was disappointed every time.
Because of his mistakes, he humiliated his alma mater, and the tenacity in Yin Tao's bones was completely stimulated. So, she began to secretly observe how other teachers in the same play performed, and when she didn't have her own role, she moved a small stool to watch carefully on the side and learn slowly.
After a period of time, her acting skills have been greatly improved, and the filming of the whole drama has been successfully completed.
Everything that followed seemed to be so natural:
In 2006, he won the Golden Eagle Award for the role of Ami in "The Wrong Car";
In 2013, with the role of Zhou Ayu in "Wenzhou Family", she won the Feitian Award for Outstanding Actress;
In 2017, with Luo Yuzhu in "Chicken Feathers Fly to the Sky", she won the Magnolia Award for Best Actress.
At this point, the 38-year-old Yin Tao has become the winner of the "Grand Slam" after the view.
But in recent years, with the popularity of various ancient puppet dramas and New Year dramas, period dramas seem to have reached a "dead end".
Seeing that the painstaking works of himself and his colleagues were not cared for, Yin Tao was sad and at the same time broke out a deep question in his heart: "Is there really no way out for the works that so many people have polished with their hearts?" ”
Fortunately, "The World" and the Golden Eagle Award answer this question perfectly.
One drama, one life
Acting at the age of 18 requires confidence, and playing at the age of 80 requires courage. If one of the two must be chosen, Yin Tao's answer is 80 years old.
As can be seen from many interviews, she seems to enjoy this feeling of following the character through her life. And this is precisely the superiority of the profession of actor.
As a period drama professional among actresses, Yin Tao has experienced a lot of sour, sweet and bitter different lives.
In "Wenzhou Family", she is Zhou Ayu who is begging for life in a foreign land alone, and with her smart mind and innate sense of business smell, she has killed a bloody road in the mall;
In "The Frontier of Love", she played Wen Yiqiu, from the age of 18 to 80, has been using love as a spear and fighting unremittingly against fate;
In "Chicken Feathers Fly to the Sky", she turned into Luo Yuzhu, who has a bumpy life and is witty and perceptive, and staged a history of bloody struggle in the era of collision between China and the West and against the current, with a passion for blood and the spirit of not admitting defeat.
Yin Tao in the play has played countless little girls, but has never relied on "pretending to be tender" to harden the girly feeling;
I have been in love countless times, but I have never forcibly broken sugar, and I have loved and dispersed, all as natural as a couple in life;
There have been countless crying scenes, but I have never seen her open her mouth, glare, and dance with her hands, and the silent sobs are sometimes more moving.
In the roles she has created in the past, we can always easily find the shadow of ourselves or the people around us; From her smooth and natural acting skills, you can always feel a calm power.
Beauty does not follow the flow
In your circle, a beautiful actress who does not know it, Yin Tao is one.
Participating in the Venus Show, Venus asked Yin Tao to score her appearance, and she gave a 10 points (out of 20) that surprised everyone. ）
"I don't really think I'm good-looking."
But beautiful women may have different standards for "good looks" than we do. Because every time Yin Tao had a private service photo exposed, everyone's reaction was surprisingly consistent. "This is also beautiful, right?!"
Alas, this damn underrated beauty!
After careful examination many times, the beauty of Yin Tao does not meet the current standard of "white and thin". But no one can deny that her beauty is so dazzling that people can't bear to take their eyes off.
"I don't go with the flow."
"But I will always stick to fitness and exercise, and pay attention to nutrition in my diet." Because I think good health is really good condition. ”
As an actor, it is estimated that Yin Tao himself could not imagine that he would come out of the circle because of a back.
Strange, the back figure is too graceful, the steps are too light, and it is completely out of line with the "43-year-old aunt".
This back also makes many netizens understand one thing, beauty is not only the patent of young girls, each age has its own unique charm.
When she is not filming or acting in dramas, Yin Tao's life is also very colorful, traveling, fitness, surfing... Have a lot of fun. Looking at the happy, bright smiling faces in her social account, I suddenly remembered a sentence she said, the way for actresses to avoid anxiety is not to compete with themselves.
I guess someone will say, "Why can't I get the beauty of Yin Tao?" ”
But in fact, compared to ABCD's stiff apple muscle, the embarrassment of wanting to laugh but not laughing; Compared with XYZ's thin arms and thin legs that make people tremble, Yin Tao's beauty will at least not make people's hearts tighten, right?
Ready to marry at any time
No matter how successful an actress is, she can't escape the fate of being deeply stripped of love (marriage).
For this point, Yin Tao is very straightforward, without the slightest concealment.
On a show, she generously shared that she had a marriage.
At that time, she was in her youth, desperate for love, and married Shen Juncheng, a rich son, despite her parents' obstacles. But the sweet marriage in the longing for ended in a hurry after only lasting more than a year, leaving Yin Tao alone sad, and no longer had the urge to urgently enter marriage.
Later, Yin Tao had a relationship with former international player Li Jinyu and actor Li Guangjie, but in the end it was all over.
In 2020, she was photographed going home hand in hand after dinner with Zhao Da, and the two were intimate, natural, and sweet. But the two never responded positively to the relationship.
In the face of all kinds of speculation and doubts about her marriage, she said, "I can marry at any time if I want." "How many women who hate marriage burst into tears instantly.
How confident does the woman who says this have to be?
Actors, in addition to creating good film and television works, should also convey the aesthetics of the times to the public.
Women, in addition to keeping up with the trend of fashion, must also live their own attitude.
As a "clear stream" among actresses, Yin Tao not only interprets the beauty of women in her own way, but also redefines the power of women.
Not admitting defeat, not blindly obeying, and not restricting may be the most suitable award speech for Yin Tao.
