Liu Tao has been on the hot search recently, not because she starred in any TV series, but because she has a new identity.

At the celebration of the 1065th anniversary of the birth of Mazu in Fujian, everyone was dressed in plain clothes, with awe and piety for Mazu, looking forward to the climax of this sacred celebration - the peach offering ceremony of Liu Tao, the global promotion ambassador of Mazu culture.

Liu Tao was dressed in purple, and accompanied by the Meizhou woman, he slowly walked into the main hall of the ancestral temple.

The surroundings were quiet, their eyes followed Liu Tao, their eyes were full of awe, and some people even unconsciously folded their hands and silently recited the words of blessing in their mouths.

At zero hour, everyone sang the birthday song and shared the birthday peach of the "goddess", and the fireworks rose and exploded, pushing the atmosphere of the whole celebration to the top.

Under the reflection of the brilliant fireworks, Liu Tao's face became more and more sacred and solemn.

At this moment, she seems to have really become the embodiment of Mazu.

Seeing the respectful appearance of those bigwigs worth hundreds of millions of dollars at the birthday scene this time, you know how much influence that drama has in Fujian.

Needless to say, Mazu's status in the minds of Fujian people is that they recognize Liu Tao, which also shows that her role as "Mazu" has really become a benchmark in the minds of the public.

Liu Tao's fate with Mazu can be traced back to the TV series "Mazu" starring her in 2012.

At the beginning, in order to interpret the role of this god, she made a special trip to the Mazu Temple to throw a cup and ask for divination, and only after obtaining the "permission of the gods" did she dare to take the role.

And as soon as this drama was broadcast, it set off a wave of "Mazu fever" across the country, with the highest rating of 5.137%.

Liu Tao has also become the "spokesperson of the goddess" in everyone's minds, and some people even hang her stills at home as Mazu statues.

Since then, Liu Tao has formed an indissoluble bond with Mazu culture, and she will go to Meizhou Island every year to worship Mazu, and this insistence is 13 years.

Before the release of "Mazu", Liu Tao's career was tepid, until she starred in "Mazu", and her acting career visibly improved.

In the dark, it seems that Mazu is also protecting her.

But when filming at that time, although it was also full of twists and turns, there were many incredible coincidences that made people believe that she was the woman chosen by God.

In 2012, the crew of "Mazu" encountered problems in casting, and the investor wanted to choose the popular flower.

However, director Lu Qi overrode public opinion and locked his eyes on Liu Tao, who had just become popular with "The Good Wife".

The decision caused an uproar and doubts one after another.

Some people think that Liu Tao, who was 33 years old at the time, is too old to interpret Mazu in his youth.

Some people also talked about her image of "beating women" in martial arts dramas in her early years, thinking that her acting path did not match the gentle and compassionate Mazu.

In the face of these doubts, Liu Tao did not say much, but proved himself with actions.

On the day of the makeup try-on, when she appeared in front of everyone in a period costume and a double-ringed bun, everyone was stunned.

Her gentle face and compassionate eyes are actually similar to the wooden statues of the Song Dynasty in the ancestral temple on Meizhou Island.

During the filming, there was a scene that needed to show Mazu's rare heroic posture, and on the day of filming, the sea breeze was howling, the waves were raging, and the wind was as high as 12.

In such bad weather conditions, the danger factor of hanging Weiya has skyrocketed, and the staff are terrified when they watch from the sidelines.

But Liu Tao gritted her teeth and insisted, she did not flinch at all, every action was completed neatly, and her eyes revealed firmness and fearlessness.

There is a scene where she jumps down from a five-meter-high ship's mast, and in order to achieve the desired effect, she shoots eighteen in a row.

Every time I fell on the deck, my mouth was full of sand, but I simply cleaned it up and continued to shoot.

Another time, the crew wanted to shoot Mazu's falling into the water in cold weather, when the temperature was as low as minus 5 °C, Liu Tao did not hesitate to jump into the icy sea water and soaked in the water for up to 8 hours.

After the filming, her body was frozen and unconscious, and she was rushed to the hospital by the staff.

In the face of everyone's distress, she said:

"If Mazu is afraid of wind and rain, how can she protect the people", "If Mazu is afraid of heat, how can fishermen still believe her".

Perhaps her dedication was seen by Mazu, and many magical coincidences also happened in the process of their shooting.

On the day of the start of filming, it suddenly rained heavily in the originally clear sky, and the crew was anxious, worried that the filming plan would be blocked.

At this moment, Liu Tao walked to the statue of Mazu and reverently recited the line "The wind and rain are smooth", and a miracle happened, the clouds slowly dispersed, and the sun came out!

The staff at the scene were stunned, and they all sighed that this was a gift from Mazu.

During the filming of the night scene, the prop candle flame suddenly spontaneously combusted without wind, and the shape of the burning turned out to be the shape of a Mazu bun.

This strange phenomenon made the crew creepy, and they all felt that this was the manifestation of Mazu.

The most amazing thing is that during the filming of the rescue scene at sea, a real fishing boat happened to be in distress near the filming location, and the crew's lights unexpectedly became a rescue signal, and the fishermen were successfully rescued in the direction of the lights.

After this incident, the crew firmly believed that their filming was recognized and blessed by Mazu.

Liu Tao, who is so desperate, has made great progress in his career after filming "Mazu".

Slowly, she became a "national daughter-in-law", from old to young, there is no one who doesn't know her.

In the impression of many people, she has always been very desperate, known as "Desperate Sanniang", and even has to pinch the stopwatch when she goes to the toilet!

As early as when she was 15 years old when she was a literary soldier in the Nanjing Military Region, she was very hardworking.

I get up at 5 o'clock every day to run with weights, and in between feeding pigs, I am also racing against time to recite lines.

Since then, she has developed the skill of "fragmented time management".

During the filming of "The Alliance of Military Divisions", she turned on the "007 work system" mode.

She has been in full attendance for 330 consecutive days, and many actors can't do this alone, but she not only works full, but also gets up at 4 o'clock in the morning to recite her lines, sends her children to school at 6 o'clock, and enters the group on time at 8 o'clock.

Such an extreme operation made the crew admire.

In 2008, her husband's company went bankrupt, he was saddled with huge debts, and even suffered from depression.

Liu Tao did not hesitate to choose to make a comeback to pay off her husband's debts, and in those difficult days, she worked almost all year round.

It is common to take on more than a dozen dramas a year and shoot four dramas at the same time.

Working 18 hours a day and sleeping two or three hours is also the norm.

But even in this high-pressure state, she did not perfunctory the role and still strived for perfection.

In the end, she not only helped her husband pay off his debts of 400 million in 3 years, but also left a series of excellent works.

Work has almost taken up her life, but she still does well in other fields.

In "The King of Crossover Singers", she won the championship with her professional-level singing.

During the filming of "Shanghai Fortress", she filmed during the day, studied car knowledge at night, and even obtained a professional license on the racing track, becoming a recognized racing queen in the entertainment industry.

Not only that, she is also a second black belt in taekwondo and has won the national women's 57kg championship.

When bringing goods in the live broadcast, she created a record of 320 million GMV in a single game, becoming the "top Liu Yidao".

She always has 18 alarms on her phone, and even goes to the toilet to control the time by the second.

Although outside of her works, she has also fallen into the controversy of setting up characters and love brains, but her life really responds to Chen Daoming's words.

Chen Daoming said:

"The only platform for actors to communicate with the audience is the characters, that is, the film, and it is not the responsibility of the actor or the obligation of the actor to make too much noise outside the film."

She is conscientious and busy at work, and how to choose outside of work is her business, and we don't have to care too much.

I hope Liu Tao can bring us more excellent works.
