The business acumen of the "savvy" couple
Xu Zheng came to this world in 1972 and was born in Shanghai, a metropolis with a long history. Influenced by the city's unique atmosphere from an early age, he developed a keen interest in the art of theatre.
He often skipped class to go to the nearby Renyi Theater to watch the drama performances there, get close to the staff in the theater, and even got the precious opportunity to perform on stage.
Unlike Xu Zheng, Tao Hong, who was born in Jiangsu Province not far from Shanghai in the same year, has been full of love for sports since childhood. At the age of 11, she was selected for the national synchronized swimming team with an outstanding performance, and the next year she helped the team win the runner-up in the National Games.
If he has been following the path of an athlete, Tao Hong will undoubtedly become a legend in the synchronized swimming world in the future.
Life is unpredictable, though. One day in 1993, Tao Hong inadvertently stepped into a crew, and happened to be discovered by director Jiang Wen and fascinated by her smart "fox eyes".
In this way, Tao Hong got the opportunity to play a lively role in the movie "Sunny Days" directed by Jiang Wen, thus officially embarking on a new life path of acting.
Two years later, a little boy named Huang Bo came to this world and was born in an ordinary family in Qingdao. As a child, Huang Bo showed a rather naughty side, often skipping classes and running away from school, hiding alone in a mysterious cave, quietly enjoying the cigarettes he stole from his father.
The life trajectories of the three people are secretly intertwined in this way, and fate has prepared a bigger chapter for them.
Tie the knot and start married life
At that time, Xu Zheng was emerging in the drama industry, and won the "Magnolia Best Drama Award" for his role in the drama "The Color of Stocks".
Although he was hesitant about the next script called "Spring Splendid Pig Bajie", worried that playing the role of Zhu Bajie would seriously affect his image, but deep down, he was deeply attracted to this unique script.
In the end, Xu Zheng made up his mind to star in this drama. In the crew, he met Tao Hong and got to know each other. Tao Hong played the role of "Little Dragon Girl" in the play, and her bright and moving face like spring immediately attracted Xu Zheng's attention.
Facing such a beautiful and lively Tao Hong, Xu Zheng's heart rose with bursts of heart and passion. In and out of the play, he carefully cared for her, warmed her in his own unique way, and showed his manly charm.
A year later, the TV series "Spring Splendid Pig Bajie" finally ushered in a glorious moment of high ratings on the screen. In this year, Xu Zheng and Tao Hong also entered the palace of marriage and started their sweet husband and wife life.
Soon after, Xu Zheng became famous for starring in the hit drama "Love Through Time". In the play, his wife Zhang Ting has charming dimples and a cute personality, and the two have established a deep friendship bond in and out of the play.
3. With the expansion of their careers, Xu Zheng and his wife have also shown their skills outside the entertainment industry, founding a number of companies and getting involved in many fields. At one time, they also cooperated with Zhang Ting in the micro-business business, but they quickly saw through the risks and wittily withdrew their shares.
In 2013, Xu Zheng was at the peak of his acting career at that time, and he achieved unprecedented success with his directed "Thai Embarrassment"; Tao Hong chose to return to the family temporarily and concentrate on the role of a full-time wife.
However, in private, this bright-minded and sharp-eyed couple also showed their skills in the business field outside of the entertainment industry.
They have established 8 affiliated enterprises, covering film production, advertising, beauty and skin care and other fields, and their business territory covers all walks of life.
It is worth mentioning that in that year, Tao Hong's friend Zhang Ting and her husband Lin Ruiyang also co-founded an institution called "Dalwei Trading Co., Ltd.", which was the first attempt to enter the market economy dominated by micro-business.
Stars who were originally only active on the TV screen turned to online platforms for product promotion, which undoubtedly provided them with incomparable advantages.
So, Zhang Ting, who is quick-thinking, tried his best to use various resources in the entertainment industry to promote his products.
Interestingly, Xu Zheng and Tao Hong also joined Zhang Ting's micro-business army at the beginning. The former "popular star" Ming Dao was recruited as the image spokesperson of Zhang Ting Company.
Tao Hong also frequently appeared in Zhang Ting's short video clips, working hand in hand with Zhang Ting to jointly stand for the company's products.
For a time, with the help of the star effect, Zhang Ting's company's business was indeed booming, and she even spent a huge amount of money to buy an entire building on the bank of the Huangpu River as the company's headquarters.
However, smart people will always see things for what they are before anyone else. Soon, Xu Zheng and Tao Hong saw through the doubts in the company's operating model, and found that there was a suspicion of "pyramid scheme", and the quality of the product was also questioned.
As a result, when the doubts of the majority of netizens continued to expand, Xu Zheng and Tao Hong resolutely chose to withdraw their shares in Zhang Ting Company, wittily avoided the later regulatory turmoil, and were not implicated.
Xu Zheng took intimate photos with many women
In 2013, Xu Zheng was at the peak of his career. Not only did he achieve unprecedented success with his self-directed and starred Chinese New Year comedy film "Thai Embarrassment", but this work also gave him his first taste in the field of directing.
At the same time as the great success, Xu Zheng was also involved in a remarkable turmoil.
Some media exposed photos of him hugging and flirting with many women in the bar, and then some netizens dug deep into the scene where he had a close relationship with a Chinese opera college student.
These revelations immediately caused an uproar on the Internet, Xu Zheng's reputation was hit hard, and many people were speculating about his marital status with Tao Hong.
Surprisingly, in the face of this situation, Tao Hong unexpectedly showed an enlightened and generous attitude. Instead of criticizing her husband's behavior, she publicly defended it, making it clear that the relationship between the two was still harmonious: "Our husband and wife are in harmony, and the fact that happened before is a misunderstanding.
What's even more jaw-dropping is that Tao Hong also said in an interview that "we advocate open marriage".
In the face of Tao Hong's unexpectedly open and inclusive attitude, netizens were in an uproar, speculating whether the couple was the unconventional marriage model of "each playing its own way".
However, one thing is certain, Tao Hong obviously has full trust and tolerance for Xu Zheng, and the relationship between the two may be as "harmonious" as she said.
A whole new way of thinking
When it comes to Xu Zheng and Tao Hong, the on-screen couple, people will always use the word "shrewd" to describe them. Indeed, whether it is Xu Zheng's perseverance in his career or Tao Hong's openness and tolerance towards married life, they have all shown extraordinary wisdom and wisdom.
Xu Zheng can be said to be diligent and innovative for the sake of his career. From just a drama actor at the beginning, to becoming a leading actor later, to honing his directing talent and directing works that are win-win at the word-of-mouth and box office, his dedication to his dream is admirable.
Even when expanding the business territory, he also strategized, identified the potential risk factors, and decisively withdrew and stopped losses.
Tao Hong's attitude towards married life is more open and unique. She not only openly expressed her support for the so-called "open marriage", but also relieved her husband and other members of the opposite sex to get along intimately, maintaining the harmony of the relationship between husband and wife in a unique way.
On the road of love and career pursuit, the two are cautious and wise, brave and shrewd, showing us a unique outlook on life and values.
They may be "shrewd", but this "shrewdness" is also a weapon for them to survive in the midst of a variety of social situations, allowing them to stand tall.
Looking back now, I have to feel that this couple does have something extraordinary, whether it is in career or life, they have used their own unique way to move forward bravely on the road of life, giving us new thinking and inspiration.
