Shanliya dreams of becoming a host.
197 1 year, Zhao Pu was born in a poor mountain village in Taiping county, Anhui province. When Zhao Pu was in junior high school, both her sister and brother wanted to get married, but the family was too poor to afford a new bed. Zhao Pu, who is sensible, thought twice and decided to give up the opportunity of studying in high school and going to college to join the army!
In this way,1987 65438+February, 16-year-old Zhao Pu left his hometown and became a soldier of a logistics unit in Beijing. At a get-together of XinBingLian, he performed a poem recitation. Zhao Pu's sincere performance touched the hearts of all the officers and men present, so after the training of XinBingLian, he was assigned to the company's broadcasting room as an announcer. In order to be a good announcer, he always waits by the TV at 7 o'clock every night on time, and carefully ponders the words and deeds of the host of News Network from beginning to end. After a long time, he was deeply fascinated by the career of TV host and secretly vowed to become a decent TV host in the future.
But1March 1990, Zhao Pu retired and became a security guard in the provincial gymnasium under the Anhui Provincial Sports Bureau. In order to win the favor of the goddess of fortune in the future, Zhao Pu decided to be a prepared person. He earns only a few hundred dollars a month, but most of them are things he buys about hosting art. In order to practice Putonghua well and pronounce every word accurately, every day after work, he will copy six pages of the words in Xinhua Dictionary and Pinyin, fold them into small cards, put them in his pocket and practice them word by word whenever he has time. In order to practice his image and expression, he collected some calendars printed with the image of TV host from the bookstore and pasted them next to the mirror to imitate them.
Where there is a will, there is a way. In less than half a year, Zhao Pu's Mandarin has been perfected, and even his colleagues who had laughed at him gave a thumbs-up and praised him for speaking Mandarin more fluently than Zhao Zhongxiang.
Soon, the opportunity really came. 199 1 Anhui meteorological observatory openly recruits a temporary weather announcer for the society. Although the weather announcer only has a short appearance time of 3 minutes, and he is only a temporary worker who only takes 200 yuan's labor fee every month, Zhao Pu decided to give it a try because he thought he could appear in the camera and try to be a host. After examination, Zhao Pu's comprehensive quality far exceeds that of other competitors, and he was successfully applied.
But Zhao Pu still needs to push his luck. He is not satisfied with being just a temporary weather announcer, but wants to use it as a stepping stone and eventually become a formal excellent TV host. In order to systematically learn and master the knowledge about broadcasting host, Zhao Pu signed up for the self-study exam of Beijing Broadcasting Institute. Since then, while working as a security guard, he has taken time off to be a temporary weather announcer and taught himself. He is very busy and full every day.
After nearly three years of preparation, just as he was about to leave, a series of blows suddenly struck him-1994, 1 1, and Zhao Pu's father died of bladder cancer. Three months later, he unexpectedly received a notice from the gym that he would not renew his contract.
Junior high school students were admitted to Beijing Broadcasting Department.
24-year-old Zhao Pu suffered the double blow of losing his father and being laid off one after another. Although he had to temporarily stop his dream of being a formal host, he didn't complain about the unfair fate. So laid-off Zhao Pu immediately began to look for a job in Hefei. However, two whole months passed, and he didn't even find a job as a porter.
One day, Zhao Pu accidentally learned that a classmate had set up a clothing stall in the Chenghuang Temple. The facade is not big, but the business is booming. He hurried to find this classmate, who suggested that Zhao Pu pay some money to join. Zhao Pu finally agreed to the classmate's proposal and took out 2000 yuan savings to join the store.
From then on, Zhao Pu had to give up the self-study exam in order to make a living. During the day, he works as a clerk in a clothing store. In order to find good and cheap goods, he had to rush to Hanzheng Street, Wuhan, thousands of miles away in the early hours of the morning, bargain with small vendors, look for new goods, and get back to Hefei before dark. In the evening, he is a well-dressed temporary weatherman.
At this moment, the professional class of cadres in the broadcasting department of Beijing Broadcasting Institute is enrolling students nationwide. The news pierced his heart like a shot in the arm. He resolutely decided to apply for the exam, but learned from the enrollment brochure that Guang Bei Broadcasting Department is an art major, which requires both cultural courses and professional courses. Cultural courses need to participate in the national unified adult college entrance examination, and professional courses are works that I will host or broadcast. This is June 1995, and June 10 has a cultural examination. With only four months left, can he finish all the courses in senior high school in such a short time?
Friends think this is impossible, but Zhao Pu thinks that men should fight like battlefields. As long as he works hard, he will not regret even if he fails. To this end, he made a detailed study plan for himself. From 5 am to 1 midnight, he made full use of all the time. Even if you go to the toilet, you should bring English words. Later, I went to a middle school to study in Class Three. The classmate who opened a small shop with Zhao Pu said with emotion: "With this enthusiasm, I believe you will succeed!"
1995 10, Zhao Pu successfully passed the culture class. However, after the exam, he realized that the enrollment of cadre classes was a quota system. In that year, there was only one quota in Anhui. Zhao Pu was in a hurry, so she quickly sent her works to Beijing to fight for places. What surprised everyone finally happened-1996 In February, only Zhao Pu, a junior high school student, really received the admission notice from Guang Bei Broadcasting Department!
1September 1996, Zhao Pu came to Beijing with 8,000 yuan from a clothing store. Unlike other students who come to study in public schools, laid-off Zhao Pu has to work after school to earn enough tuition and living expenses. Thinking that he had studied seal cutting, Zhao Pu set up a seal cutting booth in an underground passage near Guangyuan ... In order to find more jobs as much as possible, he made some small pieces of paper similar to business cards, which said that he could be a temporary tutor, scribe and host ... I didn't expect this publicity method to be effective, and he could finally earn enough money.
At that time, a teacher surnamed Li didn't know much about Zhao Pu. Seeing that Zhao Pu was in a hurry all day, I specially called him to the office and earnestly educated him, saying, "It's really not easy for you to be admitted to our school at your age. You must cherish it and focus on your studies, you know? "
Being criticized by the teacher, Zhao Pu felt very wronged and once wept silently after returning to the dormitory. But on second thought, Mr. Li's words do make sense. He came to Beijing not to do odd jobs to make a living, but to learn real skills and realize his dreams. How can he put priority first? So, he gave up one or two part-time jobs and concentrated on the class. In his spare time, he dabbled in various subjects extensively to enrich his thoughts.
Later, Teacher Li was deeply moved to learn that Zhao Pu was earning tuition while attending school. She took the initiative to go to the college to win an opportunity for Zhao Pu to work and study in the library, so that Zhao Pu could get the salary of students in 450 yuan every month.
Do everything possible to seize the opportunity.
In a blink of an eye, half a year's study has passed. 1996 ended, and the college began to encourage students in the cadre training class to practice. However, because the students in the cadre training class belong to adult education, internship units and future jobs have to find their own. In order to find an internship unit to accept after graduation, Zhao Pu inquired the telephone numbers of various TV stations through 1 14, and asked one by one, "I am a student of the Broadcasting Department of Beijing Broadcasting Corporation. Can you accept my internship there? "
By asking, Zhao Pu was surprised to learn that Beijing TV Station was recruiting a program host. He immediately ran to apply with his own information. The leader of Beijing TV station read his information and live performance, and finally agreed to give him a three-month probation period.
In order to show his hosting ability as soon as possible, Zhao Pu volunteered to appear on the third day after he entered the stage, but the station only asked him to dub, or followed the official staff to the studio to watch them appear. Zhao Pu thought: How can you stay by showing your talents after sitting on the bench for such a long time? We must look for opportunities! At that time, the Spring Festival was approaching and the station was busy. Zhao Pu thinks that the busier he is, the more likely he is to be short of people. He called his mother and told her that he would not go home during the Spring Festival ... It takes four or five hours to go back and forth from Guangyuan to Beijing TV Station outside the West Third Ring Road every day. Zhao Pu was afraid of losing the opportunity during this period, so he simply bought a cot under his desk and waited for the TV station to be his home. In those days, he stayed in the recording and broadcasting room day and night. As soon as his colleagues appeared, he carefully pondered a tone, an expression and a string of words. When he has time to record programs, he studies hard with professional books about hosts.
Zhao Pu's painstaking efforts were not in vain. 1February, 997 12. On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Taiwan Province recorded a Spring Festival program before, and some exterior scenes need to be recorded for the first time, requiring an exterior host. But at this time, the official host of Taiwan Province is either recording other programs or hasn't gone home for the New Year. The opportunity finally came, and Zhao Pu was overjoyed. He got up the courage to find a producer and said sincerely, "I graduated from Beijing Broadcasting Corporation and have some hosting experience. Can I try it? " The producer agreed to his request. After getting the answer, Zhao Pu shouldered the camera and rushed out the door.
At that time, the outdoor temperature in Beijing was only MINUS seven or eight degrees Celsius, and the north wind blew people's eyes hard to open. Fortunately, he studied hard at ordinary times, and Zhao Pu knew every shooting step by heart, and soon completed the location task brilliantly. Once the program was broadcast, it was well received. Another producer in Taiwan Province, after watching this program, took the initiative to find Zhao Pu and asked him to host his own "Financial Report" program. 1997 ended, and Zhao Pu was elected as the host of the hotline lawyer.
Since then, he began to appear frequently in Taiwan Province's "news broadcast schedule" and gradually gained a foothold in Taiwan Province. Finally, Beijing TV officially signed an employment contract with him, and he really realized his dream of being a host.
Break a cocoon into a butterfly and enter CCTV
By 200 1, Zhao Pu was not satisfied with being a simple host. He felt that the host was only responsible for one point of work and the producer was responsible for one aspect of work, so he began to consciously think from the perspective of a producer, and in the very tense host work, he squeezed out time to study production in the management department of Beijing Film Academy.
In July, 2005, after four years of hard study, Zhao Pu not only got a bachelor's degree in production, but also got a better hosting effect because he thought and hosted the program from the producer's point of view. He has led nearly 20 programs and was nominated for the 6th China Golden Microphone Award.
Who would have thought that Zhao Pu, who has served as the largest type of program host of Beijing TV Station for a long time and is known as the "first brother", actually studied for a master's degree in art at Beijing Normal University, dreaming of entering CCTV and becoming the top TV host in China.
At the beginning of 2006, CCTV held the Charming New Partner Competition, and Zhao Pu unexpectedly signed up with information.
Many people can't understand Zhao Pu's actions. Zhao Pu's mother strongly opposed it. At this time, what is the need for Zhao Pu, who is already famous, to lower himself and compete with a group of younger players? A good friend even advised Zhao Pu, "What if it fails? Didn't the previous achievements fall short? Forget it! "
But Zhao Pu said firmly: "What kind of hero is willing to be a' chicken head'? Whatever you do, you should be the best! Believe that I will succeed! "
Finally, after more than 40 days of competition, Zhao Pu stood out from more than a thousand contestants and won the third place in this competition. Indeed, he rushed into CCTV and eventually became one of the excellent news anchors of CCTV. Now, every morning at 7: 00, he will appear on the CCTV live news program-"Wen Chao Tian Xia" on time to spend 150 minutes with the audience.
From a gym security guard with only junior high school education to a news anchor of China's top TV media, Zhao Pu's experience tells people: "Who would rather have a seed than a prince?" This second is not disappointing, and the next second is hopeful. I stepped firmly in the previous step, and I will step on it again in the next step. Don't wait to see every passing opportunity, but seize it without fear, and you will win the greatest success.
