Before saying Zhao Tao, we must mention Jia Zhangke. Jia Zhangke is the representative of the sixth generation of directors, and the films he has shot have won numerous awards. He is a native of Shanxi, and when filming "Platform", he chose Zhao Tao, who was a dance teacher at Taiyuan Normal University.
Since then, the contact between the two people has increased, and Zhao Tao has filmed several films of Jia Zhangke in succession. "Ren Yao", "The World", "The Good Man of the Three Gorges", "Twenty-Four Cities", "Legend of the Sea" are all Zhao Tao as the female number one, and was nominated for the Cannes International Film Festival, the Venice International Film Festival Best Actress, she is a royal actor, with uniqueness and particularity. In 2011, the two were exposed in Venice with wedding photos, and in 2012, the wedding was held.
Zhao Tao graduated from the Folk Dance Department of Beijing Dance Academy, Jia Zhangke needed a girl who could dance to shoot "Platform", he found Zhao Tao in Taiyuan Normal, the director's poisonous eyes, saw that under his calm and introverted appearance, there was a strong explosive force, Jia Zhangke saw Zhao Tao's performance potential at a glance. The film tells the story of the growth story of a group of young people in the Fenyang County Cultural and Labor Troupe at the beginning of the reform and opening up in the 1980s from "searching" to "returning" in the wave of social change.
In 2018, the filming of "Children of Jianghu", all over the world, deep love and righteousness, you and I are "children of jianghu", jianghu is to write about human feelings, that is, the relationship between people. The opportunity of this movie is Jia Zhangke's friend who had a stroke, this friend used to be the big brother of the jianghu, but now he can't stand the wind and rain, and the fight and killing that he once fought and killed can only be recalled now. That kind of righteousness, competitiveness, exuberance of feelings, fiery heat, is the hormone released by youth. I only remember zhao Tao's sassy look, how dashing the front is, how depressed the back is. People can't help themselves in the rivers and lakes, and thousands of sails are left with only themselves.
"Mountains and Rivers" recently had a scene that was very popular because of a lonely song. Many people put the video together with the footage of Zhao Tao dancing, and with the melody, the protagonist twists in the empty field, intoxicated eyes, the look of devotion, and the ultimate loneliness.
At the beginning of the Fenyang girl's love dou, Zhang Jinsheng, who chose to chase money between the two suitors, liang Jianjun left depressed. This was the first time she had lost her friendship, and the feelings of the three of them were bound to be withdrawn.
Shen Tao and Zhang Jinsheng married, divorced, and the children returned to Fenyang to attend their grandfather's funeral. At this moment, Shen Tao had completely lost the two people who were related by blood. The sudden death of his father and the change of his son made Shen Tao powerless to recover.
Shen Tao lives alone, wrapping dumplings every day and waiting for his son who may come back. Friendship, affection, love, everything left her, only a big dog accompanied, and this big dog also reached the end of the wind.
"Everyone can only accompany you for a while", this sentence is printed on the film promotional poster, which also makes the reunion and parting shown by the film itself less abrupt. The joys and sorrows of the little people are gradually amplified, which resonates with the audience. Like the characteristics of Jia Zhangke's films in the past, the main theme is the sadness and joy of ordinary people in the background, the grasp of details, and the portrayal of characters are just right.
Zhao Tao's expression has never disappointed the director, and the journey of the film is the spiritual communication between their husband and wife. Zhang Yibai said that everyone has their own mountains and rivers, and only Jia Zhangke photographed him. I would like to add that only Zhao Tao deduced this kind of emotion without too many waves.
