Newborn calves: three years of grinding on Beijing TV
In 1992, Zhou Tao, who had just graduated from Beijing Broadcasting Institute, walked into the door of Beijing TV with great ambition.
Faced with an unfamiliar environment and new challenges, she was both excited and apprehensive.
On her first day at work, she arrived at the office two hours early;
I repeatedly sorted out my makeup and clothes, hoping to make a good impression on my colleagues.
During his three years at Beijing TV, Zhou Tao was hungry for every skill.
From "Beijing News" to "Beijing Evening News", and then to the "Film and Television Circle" column;
She gradually adapted to the hosting style of different types of shows.
Every day after work, she would practice her pronunciation and expressions in front of the mirror until late at night.
This dedication and hard work laid a solid foundation for her future success.
The beginning of the starry journey: the brilliant bloom of the CCTV stage
In 1995, Zhou Tao ushered in a turning point in his career.
With her outstanding performance on Beijing TV, she was photographed by CCTV and became the host of "Variety Show".
Facing this bigger stage, Zhou Tao was both excited and apprehensive.
She knows that this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and a great challenge.
Since 1996, Zhou Tao has served as the host of the CCTV Spring Festival Gala for 16 consecutive years.
Every year on Chinese New Year's Eve, when her elegant and generous figure appears on the screen;
It will bring a sense of intimacy and expectation to the national audience.

used witty and humorous words to resolve the embarrassment and won bursts of applause from the audience.

She accepted the invitation of Poly Culture Group Co., Ltd. to serve as artistic director and chairman of Poly Performance Co., Ltd.
This decision came as a surprise to many, but for Zhou Tao, it was a new challenge and opportunity.

The acquaintance between the two was quite dramatic: once in the school cafeteria, Zhou Tao forgot to bring money, and Yao Ke stepped forward to help.
This little episode became the beginning of the relationship between the two.
However, as time passed, the differences in the values of the two gradually emerged.
Zhou Tao has a strong sense of dedication and is eager to achieve more in the workplace;
Yao Ke, on the other hand, pays more attention to family life and hopes to have his own children as soon as possible.
This difference in values eventually led to the breakdown of their relationship.
In 2002, Zhou Tao and Yao Ke chose to break up peacefully and ended their 12-year marriage.
The end of this marriage was a difficult decision for Zhou Tao;
But it also gave her the opportunity to re-examine her purpose in life.
Soon after the divorce, Zhou Tao met the second important man in her life - businessman Lu Yun.
Unlike Yao Ke, Lu Yun can not only understand Zhou Tao's pursuit of career, but also give her full support and care in life.
The two quickly established a relationship and eventually tied the knot.
