Yin Tao was born on December 6, 1979 in Chongqing, China, to a military family.
Yin Tao's parents are military literary and art workers, so she has lived in the army compound since she was a child. In such an environment, she developed good Xi habits, behaved well-behaved, and was loved by her neighbors and teachers.
Yin Tao's father is engaged in propaganda work in the art troupe, and he can deal with it skillfully whether it is singing or allegro;And the mother is a dancer.
Yin Tao was born to inherit the literary genes of her parents, and showed outstanding literary and artistic talents at a very young age. Seeing their daughter's superb literary and artistic talent, Yin Tao's parents also have hope, hoping that she can inherit their career.
Therefore, when Yin Tao was a child, her parents enrolled her in a variety of interest classes such as piano, accordion, and painting, but Yin Tao did not stick to it.
After her mother enrolled her in a folk dance class, Yin Tao's artistic talent appeared again, and the teachers spoke very highly of her.
A look at his parents strengthened his determination to let his daughter pursue a career in the arts in the future.
17-year-old Yin Tao was admitted to the drama class of Chongqing Art School in 1996. At that time, she was already developing well, so she attracted the attention of many male classmates as soon as she entered the school.
Art school students participate in various performances from an early age and are therefore exposed to many things that should not be exposed to at their age, which makes them relatively mature.
Yin Tao's parents were also worried that their daughter would fall in love, but fortunately, although Yin Tao attracted the attention of many boys when she entered school, she managed to restrain her inner desires and did not worry her parents during her time at Chongqing Art School.
Yin Tao graduated from Chongqing Art School in 1999 at the age of 20, and she was admitted to the Drama Department of the People's Liberation Army Academy of Arts with the first grade in the country.
Yin Tao and Shen Teng were in their youth at the time, handsome men and beautiful women. Therefore, as soon as they entered the People's Liberation Army Academy of Arts, they were given the titles of "school flower" and "school grass".
Shen Teng has attracted the attention of many female classmates because he is called the "school grass", and even many years after graduation, he is still proud of the "school grass" that was once the "school grass" of the People's Liberation Army Academy of Arts.
However, Yin Tao suffered a lot of troubles because of the title of "school flower", so much so that she was almost forced to drop out of school, and even almost dropped out of the People's Liberation Army Academy of Arts.
Yin Tao always felt that many male classmates paid attention to herself in class, mainly because she was more introverted, after getting the title of "school flower".
Especially when she was in acting class, male classmates from other classes often came to watch her, which made her feel very shy, and even disliked acting class for a while.
Under the guidance of the teacher and several female classmates, Yin Tao finally gradually overcame her inner shyness, and even if many boys paid attention to her, she was still able to perform calmly.
In 2003, Yin Tao, who was about to graduate from the People's Liberation Army Academy of Arts, played "Bai Xuemei" in the graduation drama "I'm Waiting for You in Heaven", which was widely praised by teachers and classmates, and was only 24 years old.
Even with this drama, Yin Tao also won the performance award of the 3rd Chinese Drama Golden Lion Award, and the outstanding performance award of the Cao Yu Drama Award at the 8th China Theatre Festival.
Yin Tao has not yet graduated, but with these awards, she has gained a certain reputation in the industry, and she has also received some special care when she is assigned to graduate.
Yin Tao successfully graduated from the People's Liberation Army Art Academy in the second half of 2003 and was assigned to the Television Art Work Center of the Political Department of the Air Force, and immediately became a civilian cadre at the battalion level.
Yin Tao was favored by director Gao Xixi for her outstanding performance in the graduation drama, and Gao Xixi invited her to play a "female political commissar" in her new drama "The Sky of History" as soon as she graduated.
When Yin Tao starred in this play, because she had just graduated, her acting skills were still jerky, so she seemed a little "contrived" when she said her lines. Senior Zhang Fengyi criticized this, causing Yin Tao to doubt himself for a long time.
What Yin Tao didn't know was that her somewhat "contrived" performance actually attracted the attention of a man, and this man was Shen Juncheng, who was from Chongqing like her.
Shen Juncheng is two years younger than Yin Tao, and when he just returned from graduation in the UK, it was the year Yin Tao graduated. The reason is that Shen Juncheng's father is the general manager and chairman of Chongqing Mobile Company.
Shen Juncheng joined a company after returning from studying abroad under his father's arrangement. However, he has lived a privileged life since he was a child and simply can't stand the 9-to-5 job.
Shen Juncheng decided to start a business in the sea after not working for a few days, because his father had plenty of money and resources. Therefore, he decided to take this step.
His biggest pursuit at that time was beauty, and he happened to see Yin Tao on TV, and he was immediately shocked. After getting to know Yin Tao through some relationships, he began to pursue her fiercely.
Yin Tao has just graduated, although the job is not bad, and the salary is much higher than the average person, but compared with Shen Juncheng, her income gap is still very huge.
Yin Tao quickly compromised under Shen Juncheng's strong financial offensive, especially Shen Juncheng's generosity.
At that time, Yin Tao and Shen Jun were both young people in their twenties, and they were in the best state in terms of energy and physical strength, so the two often had in-depth exchanges about life.
Under the nourishment of love, Yin Tao, who was originally plump, showed more and more of a woman's charm, so it was gradually praised as "peach".
Yin Tao did not let love hinder her career development, and soon after, she was able to star in the work "The Wrong Car" directed by Gao Xixi, playing the role of Li Xuejian's "daughter" in the play.
Yin Tao successfully won the audience's favorite actress at the 23rd China TV Golden Eagle Awards for her outstanding performance in this play, thus gradually establishing a certain reputation in the industry.
Yin Tao's cooperation with director Gao Xixi not only made her win two consecutive awards, but the relationship between the two has become increasingly close. Because of this, in 2005, Gao Xixi prepared a new drama "Happiness Like Flowers" and invited Yin Tao to play a dancer.
The focus of this play is mainly on the male protagonist Deng Chao and the female protagonist Sun Li, not only because of their excellent acting skills, but also closely related to the private lives of the two.
After this play, Deng Chao and Sun Li established a romantic relationship, while Yin Tao and Shen Juncheng got married, and the two fell in love for more than two years after cooperating in this play. It is worth mentioning.
Yin Tao and Shen Juncheng's marriage was not blessed by their parents, because Yin Tao's mother thought that the two were inappropriate and did not approve of them being together.
Although her mother tried to stop her, Yin Tao still resolutely entered the palace of marriage with Shen Juncheng, but they did not hold a wedding at that time, but only registered their marriage.
More than a year after receiving the certificate, Yin Tao and Shen Juncheng divorced, as for the reason for their divorce, as Yin Tao's mother said, their personalities are incompatible.
After Yin Tao's divorce, she cooperated with Deng Chao in several dramas such as "Last Night's Stars" and "Love Scattered", becoming a high-profile "screen couple" at that time.
Other collaborations with director Gao Xixi include "The Age of True Love" and "Vertical Strike", when some actresses were called "Mou Girl" or "Feng Girl".
Because Yin Tao originally starred in Gao Xixi's works, and later collaborated with Gao Xixi many times, she is also known as "Xi Girl".
Yin Tao starred in the TV series "A Woman's Life" in 2008, and was nominated for Best Actress at the Magnolia Award at the 14th Shanghai TV Festival for her outstanding performance.
Although she failed to win the Magnolia Award in the end, the nomination itself was an affirmation, and Yin Tao also got many job opportunities.
Director You Xiaogang was preparing the new drama "The Secret History of Yang Guifei" at the time, and after watching Yin Tao's performance in "A Woman's Life", he decided to invite her to play the heroine of the new drama "Yang Guifei", because he was deeply impressed by her performance.
Yin Tao played Yang Guifei and Huang Qiusheng played Li Longji, and the passion scene between the two leading actors in the play caused heated discussions among the audience at that time and was considered very exciting.
Just when this TV series was a sensation, it was reported that during the filming, a wealthy man frequently drove different styles of luxury cars to the crew to visit Yin Tao.
It was revealed that the two had a "long talk all night" in the crew, and this episode was heard and witnessed by many staff members.
As soon as many people heard this revelation, they thought that Yin Tao had found a rich husband, but it just so happened that at that time, there was another ** exposure of Yin Tao and a man holding hands and shopping**.
Everyone couldn't be sure for a while whether the "rich man" who broke the news by the crew was the man who was shopping hand in hand with Yin Tao.
When everyone speculated, the former director of the Chongqing Municipal Bureau of Justice "wenqiang" was suddenly investigated and punished, and during the interrogation, he confessed that he had inappropriate relationships with many actresses.
Therefore, some people said on the Internet that Yin Tao is one of many actresses, and even released some photos of Yin Tao. At the end of the article, it also stated: "Willing to bear legal responsibility for what he said." ”
As soon as Yin Tao was disclosed in this article, she was immediately spurned by everyone, but in order to prove her innocence, she issued three statements in a short period of time, but none of them had much effect.
At this moment, the Air Force Television Art Center, where Yin Tao had worked, stood up to support her, and at the same time, some attentive netizens also found that the so-called Yin Tao** photos had actually been processed by PS, so the turmoil gradually subsided.
31-year-old Yin Tao appeared on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala for the first time in 2010, and cooperated with Yan Ni and other actors to perform the sketch "My Heart Flying", which impressed the audience deeply.
In the same year, Yin Tao also participated in "The Secret History of Wu Zetian", playing the elderly, middle-aged and young images of Wu Zetian with Siqin Gaowa and Liu Xiaoqing respectively, which also made Yin Tao's performance skills gradually recognized by the audience.
At this moment, a news report about "Yin Tao's ex-husband on trial" made Yin Tao the focus of everyone's attention, and this ex-husband was Shen Juncheng.
Yin Tao and Shen Juncheng only received a marriage certificate and did not hold a wedding, so many people did not know that Yin Tao had ever been married and divorced.
In addition, because his father was reported for being suspected of a huge ** case, Shen Juncheng also had flaws himself, and was finally sentenced to 10 years in prison.
This incident may have an impact on Yin Tao's career, but since she was born in the military, it did not affect her. In 2011, she appeared on the CCTV Spring Festival Gala again and showed her talent.
The TV series "Wenzhou Family" starring Yin Tao premiered in 2012 and immediately set off a ratings frenzy. Yin Tao, who played "Zhou Ayu" in the play, also let many viewers see the shadow of his past.
Due to her performance in this drama, Yin Tao won the Outstanding Actress Award at the 29th China TV Drama Feitian Awards.
Yin Tao participated in the drama "Romeo and Juliet" in 2014, in which she needed to have a fierce "hand-to-hand combat scene" with the male lead.
33-year-old Li Guangjie played the leading role and has just divorced actress Hao Lei.
Yin Tao and Li Guangjie's emotional drama in this drama was very exciting, so their scandal spread quickly.
For example, two people stay in a hotel together, or go out hand in hand, etc. But in reality, there is no conclusive evidence to substantiate these rumors.
When she came in 2015, 36-year-old Yin Tao was once again exposed to a relationship, this time with a football player Li Jinyu who was two years younger than her.
* According to the report, the two have already met their parents, and Yin Tao revealed in the interview that they will consider having children, so it is generally believed that the marriage of the two is about to take place.
Soon after, it was reported that Yin Tao and Li Jinyu had broken up, and in this year, the TV series "Chicken Feathers Fly to the Sky" starring Yin Tao and Zhang Yi was also a great success.
Yin Tao's role as "Luo Yuzhu" deeply influenced many people, and also won her the Best Actress Award at the 23rd Shanghai TV Festival.
Since then, Yin Tao has successively participated in film and television dramas such as "The Frontier of Love" and "You Are Many Years Late", but what attracts more attention is her increasingly plump figure and private life.
Many Yin Tao's fans have always been very anxious, because there have been no reports about Yin Tao's relationship in those years, so people don't know if it's because she is low-key or really hasn't been in love.
Until the Qixi Festival in 2020, **Yin Tao had dinner with a male friend**, and the interaction between the two was very intimate.
After dinner, Yin Tao returned to her residence with the male friend, looking like they were living together.
After careful observation by netizens, it was found that this male friend was the actor Zhao Da who once played "Wang Fatzi" in "Ghost Blowing Lantern: The Essence of the Ancient City".
After being suspected of being in a relationship, Yin Tao did not respond to this, but her career has been thriving, although the truth of the relationship is still confusing.
At the beginning of 2022, "The World" starring Yin Tao, Lei Jiayin and others once again set off a ratings frenzy, and Yin Tao also attracted attention again.
Today's Yin Tao doesn't need much heat, because she is one of the only few "Grand Slam Queens" in China (collecting Magnolia, Feitian, and Golden Eagle three awards).
Yin Tao is 43 years old this year, and she may need a partner who has always been with her, and at the same time make a greater breakthrough in art.
