Tong Yao successfully became popular for starring in "Thirty Only", but after winning the title of "Magnolia Queen" this year, she was ridiculed by many people as "White Lotus Queen", and there are still endless doubts about her position with capital.
Gu Jiaren is as her name suggests in the play, she is a virtuous helper who is full of ideas and abilities. Tong Yao portrays Gu Jia, who is both a stay-at-home wife and an independent woman, who plays the role of a staff member in her husband's career, and is decisive and resolute in the face of the intervention of a third party.
Tong Yao is loved by many people for playing this role, and she has nothing to do with "White Lotus" at all.
The fact that Tong Yao is called the White Lotus actually originated in 2003 when Zhang Mo "beat her" at the door of the Chinese opera girl's dormitory.
Tong Yao was born in 1985 in Kunming, Yunnan Province. As the saying goes, "one side of the landscape raises one person", she has shown a slim demeanor since she was a child. When she was a child, she was talented and often went to the song and dance troupe to learn Xi performance, showing that she was quite talented in acting.
Tong Yao was admitted to Chinese opera in 2002 with the first grade in his major.
Tong Yao was unknown at first in the Chinese opera, a place where there are many talents, although there is no support from family background and background, but because she looks like Zhang Ziyi, she was given the title of "Little Zhang Ziyi".
The reason for her fame in school is actually because of her relationship with Zhang Mo, the son of Zhang Guoli.
Zhang Mo was at the stage of vigorous development of his acting career, and he also received the support of his father Zhang Guoli, which can be said to be superior in resources. After meeting Tong Yao, he pursued this sweet and lovely junior sister.
Tong Yao was attracted by Zhang Mo's handsome personality at that time, and she heard that Zhang Mo's father was Zhang Guoli and had a strong family background, so she quickly agreed.
Their relationship was once in the spotlight. Many people think that Tong Yao has caught up with Zhang Mo, and their future will be even better. However, the relationship didn't last long.
* In December 2003, it was reported that Zhang Mo had a fierce conflict with his girlfriend Tong Yao at the entrance of the Chinese opera girls' dormitory, which aroused widespread attention and discussion. News about Zhang Mo's scumbag behavior and Zhang Guoguo's unfavorable education have become hot topics.
According to the ** published by "Beijing Youth Daily", Tong Yao's injuries at that time were very serious, her eyes were bloodshot, her face was injured in many places, and there were bruises and bruises on her body, which was very distressing.
Why did Zhang Mo do it to his girlfriend?What exactly happened that day?
When interviewed by reporters, Tong Yao explained that the two met in the crew. Her own friend was the photographer of that scene, and she met Zhang Mo when she went to play with friends. They've only been together for a few months. In the face of the public's questions, Tong Yao once gave such an answer.
In the love stage, I gradually realized that I didn't match Zhang Mo very well, so I proposed to break up many times, but I was threatened by him.
Zhang Mo even once said: If you dare to mention breaking up again, I guarantee that you will be very sad in the future, and threaten Tong Yao's acting career, unless she changes careers, I will never let her have a bright future.
Zhang Mo just finished filming in early December, and after returning to school, Tong Yao proposed to break up again. Angry, Zhang Mo directly spilled hot tea on her face.
Zhang Mo repeatedly asked, and Tong Yao finally went downstairs to see him on the day of the accident.
After that, they had an argument. Zhang Mo walked away angrily, rolling up his sleeves. Tong Yao had already realized that the situation was wrong and tried to dodge, but was forcibly recaptured. After Zhang Mo dragged her hard for a while, he directly threw her to the ground, and then kept kicking her head, face, and whole body.
The classmates were attracted by Tong Yao's wailing, but Zhang Mo did not stop beating until she fainted. Subsequently, Tong Yao was sent to the hospital, where doctors diagnosed a fractured nasal bone, bleeding in her left eyeball, and multiple scars all over her body.
The boyfriend proposed to break up many times but was unsuccessful, and was finally beaten by him in anger. Tong Yao became a victim for a while, arousing people's sympathy. For the incident caused by his son, Zhang Guoli quickly launched a public relations action and personally apologized to Tong Yao and her parents.
At the request of his father, the person concerned, Zhang Mo, soon issued an apology statement and severely criticized him.
originally thought that this matter would be over, but when Zhang Mo apologized, he said: It was his mistake to beat people, but the relationship between himself and Tong Yao is not so simple, but there are some things that cannot be disclosed now.
Everyone speculated and faced Zhang Mo's words. At the same time, someone turned up Tong Yao's filming of the TV series "Lin Hai Xueyuan" in 2002.
Some people think that it is understandable for students of the ** School of Drama to film, but in fact, the school has a clear rule: first-year students are not allowed to participate in external filming without the approval of the head of the department.
At that time, the people who were able to get approval were usually "related households" with family backgrounds.
Yang Shuo, Bai Baihe and others, the articles at the same level as Tong Yao, also took over the play after the junior year. However, Tong Yao has just been a freshman, her home is far away in Yunnan, and she has no background, but she has been approved for filming, and the reason for this is really curious.
Tong Yao and Huang Dingyu, director of the Chinese Opera Performance Department, became the focus of everyone's attention for a while, and everyone was speculating that Zhang Mo hit someone because he was hurt.
Huang Dingyu, the head of the Chinese opera department, was accused of being a "third party" because of the rumors of "teacher-student love", so he immediately issued a statement clarifying that he had nothing to do with the "Zhang Mo beating Tong Yao incident".
What's more, although this teacher's artistic attainments are very high, his reputation is really not good.
Zhang Mo organized blood donations several times in just a few days to keep his student status, but the ** Drama Academy still decided to expel him. At the beginning, Zhang Mo's father, Zhang Guoli, had firmly begged the school not to expel him, saying that he was willing to accept any punishment, but unfortunately this request was not met.
Zhang Mo told reporters that the school just wanted to cover up the truth, and he had not yet finished the matter.
Tong Yao, as one of the protagonists of the incident, filed a lawsuit on the grounds of accusing Huang Dingyu, the head of the department, of "**". Soon after, Huang was taken away for investigation on suspicion of a criminal offense.
Subsequently, a string of students came forward to accuse him of "sexual harassment," but Huang was released on bail after 37 days in detention due to lack of evidence due to lack of physical evidence and witness testimony.
Tong Yao gained a high reputation because of this incident, because "black and red are also red" became very prominent at this time.
Because of the change in the situation, Tong Yao, who was initially regarded as a "victim", is now caught in the ** whirlpool of "active dedication", she has a strong temperament, so she was given the name of "White Lotus", and she is now excluded from the class because of her fame in the school.
In an interview, Zhu Yawen revealed that during college, no one was willing to play with her at all.
Tong Yao was not crushed by the doubts and slander of reputation and word-of-mouth, but gained a certain amount of attention because of it, coupled with her own appearance conditions, she quickly cheered up and started a new journey in her acting career.
At that time, Gong Li and Zhang Ziyi were popular figures in the entertainment industry, and Tong Yao looked similar to them, and the teachers commented that she was like a miniature version of Gong Li and an enlarged version of Zhang Ziyi.
Tong Yao gradually accumulated some resources, because she was known as "Little Zhang Ziyi", in 2007 she played the role of Lan Xin in the TV series "Don't Dare to Say I Love You"** with her pure and lovely image.
In the entertainment industry, if you don't have a prominent family background and are not recommended by Bole, it is too difficult to move forward.
At this time, Tong Yao met her Bole Wang Ran, who was also her future supporter.
Wang Ran is 17 years older than Tong Yao, graduated from Harvard University in the United States, and his family background is very strong. When Tong Yao was still a small actor with few lines and often had no scenes to film, Wang Ran had become a bigwig-level figure in the circle.
The company he founded, Yikai Capital***, is among the best in the industry. Meeting him was a turning point in Tong Yao's life.
In 2010, they met. It was not until 2012 that Tong Yao signed a contract with Bona Film and Television, a company with Wang Ran as a consultant, and received a lot of help from Wang Ran during this period.
In 2013, they were photographed drinking coffee together, and after their relationship, Tong Yao was regarded as a model of "using relationships to cling to capital".
Tong Yao and Wang Ran chose Italy to hold a romantic castle wedding at the end of 2019, and their worth doubled.
With the beautiful beginning of love, Tong Yao's career has also ushered in new opportunities.
In 2013, she participated in a drama "Militia Ge Erdan" set during the Anti-Japanese War, in which she played the village chief's daughter, Meng Xizi, and her character dared to love and hate, which was very lovely. For this role, she won the "Emerging Actress" award. Subsequently, she starred in many TV series one after another.
She won the public's attention in 2016 for her role as the noble concubine Gao Xiyue in "The Legend of Ruyi". This character is a bad guy, but with a tsundere and cute aura, people can't really hate her, so they get a lot of attention.
Many people will have a good impression of the whole scene, and Tong Yao has gained a lot of supporters because of this, which also marks the beginning of her use of the character image to shape herself.
The independent Gu Jia in "Thirty Only" and the gentle and virtuous Song Yunping in "Big River" have created vivid characters, which not only made her win two "after-view awards" a year, but also successfully changed her image.
Tong Yao has always known the meaning of "character is greater than acting".
Actors will inherently benefit from a positive character image, and with a certain amount of acting skills, it is easy to arouse the audience's affection. Facts have proved that Tong Yao not only has excellent acting skills, but also is very smart.
Tong Yao has made remarkable progress in the field of TV dramas, and she is gradually eager to get rid of the label of "Little Zhang Ziyi". Although she once attracted attention for her resemblance to the popular Spicy Chicken, as her fame grew, this resemblance became a burden to her, bringing her constraints and pressure.
She knew that she couldn't rely on a face that looked like Zhang Ziyi to be comparable to the already famous international Zhang in the film industry, so Tong Yao chose to devote most of her energy to the field of TV dramas.
Tong Yao gradually got rid of Zhang Ziyi's shadow with a vivid and vivid image.
When Zhang Ziyi got involved in the TV drama industry to shoot "Shangyang Fu", she was once jokingly called an "old nursery rhyme", which also reflects Tong Yao's status in the TV drama industry as a novice.
She never thought that she was just the woman behind the capital, Tong Yao was ambitious, courageous, and more intelligent.
She is not only wise in choosing roles, but also very good at relying on the public relations ability of capital Tong Yao.
In 2014, a star surnamed T played a big name on the set and threw hot porridge on his assistant, which sparked widespread discussion.
According to rumors, the female star asked her assistant to buy preserved egg and chicken porridge, but due to the remote location of the set, the assistant only bought preserved egg and lean porridge. This made the actress surnamed T very angry, and she directly poured hot porridge on the assistant's face.
Everyone began to speculate that at that time, it was the hit of "Golden Jade Relationship" starring Tang Yan, as a popular little flower, she attracted much attention, and even if her assistant came out to clarify ** as soon as possible after the incident, it could not calm the turbulence.
Tang Yan was once accused later"Play big"。
It wasn't until a few years later that some attentive netizens picked up the diet ** shared by Tong Yao on weekdays, and found that she often drank porridge, and on the same day that the incident occurred, she posted the ** drinking porridge on the set. Combined with the clues that Tang Yan never ate chicken, they deduced that Tong Yao was actually the protagonist of that year's incident.
Tong Yao and Tang Yan are both students of Chinese opera level 02, and the relationship between the two is very close. It is admirable that they supported each other and stood up after an accident.
In an interview, Tong Yao refuted netizens' accusations that she "will only rely on her husband", saying that her husband gave her moral support, not winning the Magnolia Award with "capital power".
However, what cannot be ignored is the soaring acting achievements she made with Wang Ran after marriage.
She won the Golden Eagle Award for Best Actress in the first year of her marriage to Wang Ran.
After getting married the next year, Tong Yao once again defeated strong opponents such as Reyiza and Yan Ni as "Gu Jia" and won the Magnolia Award for Best Actress. However, the results of this selection have been questioned, and some netizens even sarcastically said: This is the nursery rhyme husband's money to get it.
In just one year, Tong Yao has reached heights that are difficult for other actors to reach.
She is only one last link away from becoming the sixth actress in the history of Chinese TV dramas to win the Feitian Award.
In the highly competitive field of the entertainment industry, those top people who stand out have shrewd minds and superb means, and the support of capital is crucial.
Tong Yao has been constantly receiving "capital blessings" along the way, but to gain a foothold in the entertainment industry, it is far from enough to rely on the power of capital. She should rely on her excellent acting skills and strength, and only by gaining the recognition of the audience can she achieve long-term success in the film and television career. Tong Yao
