Whenever Liu Tao is mentioned, she thinks of her image of a "virtuous wife".
She is not only a smart and capable, a good wife and mother in the show, but also a sentient person who does not abandon her husband when he is in debt.
In 2008, her husband, Wang Ke, went bankrupt and owed a huge foreign debt.
Liu Tao, who originally abandoned his career to marry into a rich family, originally thought that he could live a leisurely life in the future and teach his husband and children at home.
But after the incident, she returned to the show business circle and paid off 400 million debts for her husband in 4 years.
From a lonely and nameless literary soldier, he was forced to become an "Iron Lady".
Fortunately, she used her ability to create the image of "the national wife".
Indeed, Liu Tao in those years was deeply loved by the audience with this image, and he also earned a lot of money.
But helplessly, there is a husband who likes to engage in investment, and he always does a loss-making business.
It is said that after Liu Tao paid off 400 million yuan of debt, Wang Ke owed another 60 million yuan, and last year it was exposed that it lost 1.2 billion yuan.
Even if she has great ability, I am afraid that she will not be able to withstand such a toss.
If this is true, how many more 4 years will Liu Tao have to pay for him.
Nowadays, she is not without drama to shoot, but when there is a scene, she shoots and gives money to shoot.
In March this year, she and Zhou Yumin performed "The Words of the Great Song Palace", a 43-year-old actress went to play a young girl, almost ruined her audience.
It can be seen that at that time, Liu Tao really reached the situation where the director gave money to shoot.
Ridiculously
Today's Liu Tao has even gone to the live broadcast with goods, chatting and laughing in the live broadcast room, singing and dancing, and also doing the embarrassing situation of handstand celebration in the live broadcast room.
Although the results of bringing goods are very good, but such overexposure and shouting to buy and sell behavior, many viewers began to feel that she was "greasy" and "bargaining".
Then many melon-eating masses are very confused.
Wang Ke has repeatedly placed the divorce agreement next to the bed, why does she insist on staying in the end, and the title of "national virtuous wife" is an achievement or a shackle?
How did Liu Tao, who once had unlimited scenery, step by step, make himself to where he is today?
01
From birth she was destined to work hard.
In 1978, a family surnamed Liu was born in Nanchang, Jiangxi Province, and a daughter was born, named Liu Tao.
His parents were ordinary workers, his family was poor, and Liu Tao was still supernatural.
In order to avoid the fine, Liu Tao was sent to his grandparents just after birth.
Other people's brothers are protecting their sisters, but Liu Tao's brother has liked to use her as a shield since he was a child.
Every time her brother made a mistake, he asked Liu Tao to shield him, otherwise he would be threatened by his brother to cut off her hair.
Later, Liu Tao said in a program: "At that time, I was very scared, I don't know why I had such a brother, but now in retrospect, it is also an unforgettable brother-sister relationship."
It is also normal for siblings to play each other when they were young.
What makes her really unforgettable is the days when she lived with her grandparents.
When he was six years old, Liu Tao had just started elementary school and was taken back by his parents to raise him.
But not long after, his parents went out to do business, and Liu Tao was sent to his grandparents again.
At that time, the grandparents were very old and could not do any work at all, and almost all the affairs of the family fell on Liu Tao alone.
Washing dishes, sweeping the floor, and washing clothes were the chores she had to do in elementary school, and slowly she began to do some heavy work, sometimes having to go out to earn money, and then buy gas to carry home by herself.
A teenage girl has to rely on her thin shoulders to support the cold and hot work of the whole family.
The children of poor families have long been homemakers, and it is most appropriate to describe Liu Tao.
Perhaps Liu Tao at that time never thought that he would be able to go on TV and become a big star in the future.
She loves art, which became her specialty in her youth.
In 1993, when 15-year-old Liu Tao was still in his second year of high school, he was recruited into the military literary and artistic corps with his literary and artistic expertise and became a literary and artistic soldier.
In the years when she was a literary soldier, she did not expect that feeding pigs became her most memorable thing.
Getting up at five o'clock every day, assembling, exercising, and feeding the pigs are things to do every day.
In the year of retirement, Liu Tao just happened to be an adult, and she not only had special self-discipline when she came out of the army, but also cultivated a heroic and sassy temperament.
This kind of good seedling, if he had been born in the class, would have been dug up to be an actor a long time ago.
But she is not from a science class, and she still has to worry about her work.
In 1998, after retiring from the army, she did not choose to return to her hometown, but went to the "flower city" guangzhou to do a career, and she could only raise her eyebrows when she returned home in the future.
During that time, she made money while shooting advertisements and studying law at school.
I thought that I would be able to have a skill in the future by studying law well, but I didn't expect that shooting advertisements would become a reason to turn around.
02
In 2000, because her advertisement was favored by a director, she felt that Liu Tao's image at that time was excellent, so she was invited to participate in the TV series "Foreign Daughter-in-law Local Lang" that was being prepared.
With this drama, Liu Tao entered the show business circle by mistake, which also means her successful debut.
Sure enough, in this day and age, it really works to look good.
Soon after, Liu Tao received an invitation from Yang Peipei to star in the third part of "Huan Zhu Gege".
At that time, more than two hundred people signed up for the role of "Princess Musha" alone.
Liu Tao did not dare to slacken off, she used the shortest time to memorize five pages of dish names, tea names, stood out among more than two hundred people, and became a signed artist under Qiong Yao.
At this time, Liu Tao can also be regarded as a firm foothold in the show business circle.
But soon after, she and the well-known director Zhang Jizhong spread a scandal, and it lasted for 3 years.
In 2002, Zhang Jizhong was reading a magazine when he accidentally saw Liu Tao in the book.
Looking at the woman's natural posture in the book, I thought of the costume drama "Tianlong Babu" that I was filming, which is not "Arjuna".
So he asked For Liu Tao's contact information and invited her to play the role of "Aju".
And Liu Tao did not disappoint Zhang Jizhong, and the role of "Aju" became the finishing touch of the whole play.
With this role, Liu Tao became famous in one fell swoop.
Two years later, Liu Tao held an event at a KTV in Beijing and invited Zhang Jizhong to express his gratitude.
Unexpectedly, after the incident, the two were actually rumored to be gossipy.
It's just that Liu Tao didn't pay much attention to these gossip at that time, and was bent on developing his future in the show business circle.
So In those years, Liu Tao would make several TV series every year.
From 2004 to 2007, she made at least three or more TV series a year.
She also made a lot of money, bought a big house in Shanghai, and also met the designer Li Weimin.
It wasn't long before the two were together, when Li Weimin really poured out her heart and lungs for her, and helped Liu Tao a lot in her career.
Even to the point of talking about marriage.
But until Wang Ke, one of the "Four Young People in The Capital", appeared, all this also became a thing of the past.
03
At that time, it was said that Wang Ke was worth more than 20 billion yuan and was a real rich man.
But when he met Liu Tao in the elevator, the rich man became a small fan.
Liu Tao was the same, fascinated by this rich man with extraordinary temperament.
From love at first sight to marriage, it took only 20 days.
This speed must be the reason for the "banknote ability".
At that time, more than one person thought so, but what people did not expect was that we all blamed her.
When the two got married, Wang Ke spent thousands of dollars to hold a grand wedding.
Deeply moved, Liu Tao felt that she had found the best home, she said: "The emergence of Wang Ke has become the terminator of my love."
He also said at the wedding that he would bid farewell to the entertainment industry and be a good wife and mother at home, and a husband and son.
Happy days are always so short, Liu Tao has not yet sat on the sofa at home, he has to get back up, roll up his sleeves and return to the entertainment circle.
In 2008, Wang Ke went from a rich man to a poor egg in an instant, and he also owed 400 million foreign debts.
Before this, Wang Ke had never told Liu Tao about her career, because she didn't want her to worry about herself.
But until she had just given birth to her second child, she saw Wang Ke spitting white foam and her limbs twitching on the ground, and Liu Tao rushed her to the hospital.
At this time, she found that Wang Ke had gone bankrupt and was still in debt, and he was afraid that he was also in a hurry, so he undertook all the pressure alone.
Wang Ke also suffered from depression and needed medication to maintain her life.
At this time, Liu Tao's words touched Wang Ke.
She said: "I never thought of leaving, we will share weal and woe together."
It turned out that she was not because of Wang Ke's "money ability", otherwise, she could have signed a divorce agreement and gone high.
But she did not, she chose to return to her old business, back to the entertainment industry to earn money to pay off her husband's debts.
In those years, Liu Tao desperately tried to earn money, as long as someone invited to shoot, give money to shoot.
In the end, she spent four years paying off her husband's debts.
Although the entertainment industry is a place where money is made quickly, it is not easy to easily earn 400 million in four years.
The reason why Liu Tao was later called a "national virtuous wife" was also because during that time she worked alone for her husband.
I have lived my life as a "desperate third wife".
04
Of course, such a story has really touched many people, and Liu Tao has also established her tall image.
Because it is hard enough and very dedicated, the appearance is good.
Liu Tao's career began to rise from that time, and all kinds of good resources threw olive branches to her.
With works such as "Langya List", "Ode to Joy", "Biography of Mi Yue" and so on, Liu Tao won the award and became a well-known "national wife".
After tasting the sweetness of the "virtuous wife", Liu Tao and Wang Ke also began to show their affection in public.
Whether it is on a variety show or on a social platform, the interaction between the two is enviable.
Wang Ke, in particular, often wrote some long confessional letters to Liu Tao.
When participating in the variety show "Dear Inn", the two kissed directly under the camera.
After many years of marriage, they are still as loving as ever, which is the audience's impression of them, and perhaps this is what they want to achieve.
But the sweetness did not keep them sweet.
Later, Wang Ke failed to invest, owed 60 million yuan in debt, and last year was revealed to have lost 1.2 billion.
During that time, Liu Tao always published some very sad copy on social platforms, saying that he was very powerless for life.
Later, some netizens suspected it, and she came out to explain that it was because of her father's death.
But regardless of whether Wang Ke's matter was true or not, Liu Tao finally came to this step.
In order to make money, she plunged into the live broadcasting industry.
Overexposing yourself, standing upside down in the live broadcast room, drinking a glass of wine, a series of operations is really a bit embarrassing.
The "national wife" who was once on the screen is now frantically carrying goods in the live broadcast room.
Not long after, the anti-phagocytosis came, and some netizens said that her behavior was cheap and greasy.
The mysterious and tall feeling disappeared in an instant.
Will such behavior affect future filming, of course, she also understands this truth.
But what can be done, to get to this point, who can blame?
Let's not say whether she really loves Wang Ke too much, so she desperately tries to earn money to pay off her debts.
At least now she does not dare to divorce, because over the years, the "virtuous wife" personality has made her taste too much sweetness.
If there is a real divorce, then the efforts of the previous years will be reduced to a laughing stock.
Perhaps what she insists on is not only her husband and family, but also the audience's love and expectation of her.
