Recently, the French Film Archive held a retrospective of Jia Zhangke's film. On the opening ceremony, many celebrities at home and abroad attended one by one. Jia Zhangke's 8-year-old wife Zhao Tao also appeared.
Judging from the high-definition and unretouched images of the day, Zhao Tao’s face was a little shiny and shiny, and the skin on his face was also a little loose, but apart from the small blemishes on his face, the 41-year-old Zhao Tao still had no wrinkles on his face, which was well maintained. It's not bad.
Just a few days ago, Zhao Tao and her husband Jia Zhangke also attended the film festival together. On that day, the couple appeared in a black dress. Zhao Tao wore a knee-length skirt and showed long white legs. He stepped on high heels. The husband is half a head taller, with a dignified manner and grace.
It is understood that since Jia Zhangke and Zhao Tao got married in 2011, the relationship between the two has been very good. They often go in and out together, and they can always be seen on the red carpet. However, many netizens said that director Jia Zhangke appeared to be particularly "little bird and leaning" in front of his wife.
Although they have been married for 8 years, they have been controversial over the years. Before Zhao Tao, Jia Zhangke had another marriage. In 1999, Jia Zhangke married Zhu Jiong. At that time, Jia Zhangke once said that Zhu Jiong was the "legend" in his life.
Later in 1999, Jia Zhangke went to Taiyuan Normal University to select actors and met Zhao Tao. The two met in the 2000 film "Platform". Since then, the two appeared together many times, and they spent more than ten days in the Three Gorges filming movies together. Various phenomena have aroused the suspicion of many people, and they suspect that Zhao Tao "involved" in each other's marriage
In fact, Jia Zhangke was back in 2009. Vaguely revealed to reporters that he was single, which confirmed that Jia Zhangke had been divorced at that time.
First, the relationship between the two was questioned by everyone, and the career of the latter two also caused a lot of controversy. Jia Zhangke is a very good director, but everyone's perception of his work is always: Zhao Tao, the heroine of iron, and the hero of Liushui.
Counting the works of Jia Zhangke after 2000, Zhao Tao played Yin Ruijuan in "Platform", Qiaoqiao in "Ren Xiaoyao", Zhao Xiaotao in "The World", and Shen Hong in "The Good Man in Three Gorges", "Two The plant flowers in "The Tale of Fourteen Cities", Xiaoyu in "Heaven Is Destined", Shen Tao in "The Old Man of Mountains and Rivers", and Qiao Qiao in "The Children of Jianghu".
Many netizens expressed aesthetic fatigue about this, "I'm tired of watching them", "I don't know why Jia Zhangke is not Zhao Tao?" Some netizens questioned Zhao Tao's acting skills. After her husband gave so many ready-made film and television resources, Zhao Tao did not catch fire.
Jia Zhangke once explained this. He said, “I chose Zhao Tao by accident. I have always insisted on using Zhao Tao because she is the best actress in my eyes and there is only one reason.”
In fact, Zhao Tao Tao was once known as the most internationally recognized Chinese film actress after Gong Li, and was selected as one of the world's best actresses by Lincoln Center. There is no doubt that Zhao Tao does have his own shining points in the film.
The film angle is important, but it is more important to use the angle suitable for the film. Presumably this is the reason why director Jia Zhangke has always used Zhao Tao.
