1: Cui Yongyuan
Have you ever heard anyone talk about his shortcomings? Has anyone ever said they don't like him? He hasn't appeared in public for more than a year, but his appearance is still attracting much attention. Unfortunately, CCTV made the wrong calculation. It wanted to use Xiao Cui's strong connections to boost the ratings of the news channel. However, the ratings of the news channel are a technical problem. Although many people want to watch Xiao Cui, there is nothing they can do if the local cable network does not broadcast it. . It's not good to keep people appetizing.
When I interviewed Xiao Cui, he was not yet popular. It was in Harbin in early 1997. Xiao Cui said to himself: "My daughter is six months old. I hope she can go to a good school in the future, and I also hope - —Look, I have so many demands on her, and I don’t know if she feels any pressure?”
When saying goodbye, Xiao Cui said one more thing as if he was talking to himself: "One day I was walking on the street, and someone patted me from behind. When I turned around, I saw a middle-aged, stout man. I don't recognize him? Then he pointed at me and said, to be honest, I have been thinking about kicking you for a long time. One kick..."
Wisdom is connected with self-confidence and humor, which is a talent that is superior to others.
From ancient times to the present, there have been countless poets in China, but the best is Li Bai, and it is precisely Li Bai's poems that "understand nature", are both elegant and popular, and contain passion and talent in "subtleties" , can arouse everyone's excitement. Xiao Cui’s hosting art is also in this style!
Disadvantages: Gradually it seems very "sophisticated" and "the city is deep". This is even more obvious in the new program "Xiao Cui Talks". When he first debuted, he was called "the neighbor's kid (generally friendly and easy-going)". If the "neighbor's kid" becomes a little "sophisticated", I'm afraid the "kindness" will be reduced a bit. As for the host, it is more reassuring to look "simple".
Two: Wu Zongxian
Two years ago, Anhui TV station hyped itself up and asked Brother Xian to host it, but nothing happened. In the previous paragraph, it was rumored that Phoenix Satellite TV asked Brother Xian to host, but he was "scared away" by his millionaire net worth. Both of these two pieces of news illustrate how popular Brother Xian is. In the Chinese TV entertainment industry, Brother Xian, who dominates the Taiwanese island, is currently the well-deserved "King of Heaven"!
Evaluations of Wu Zongxian are generally "witty, humorous, and quick to respond." What adjectives should I use for him? Nothing is too much. When watching his show, you just need to wait patiently. In a few minutes, a "hilarious" scene will appear. What makes me admire even more is that Brother Xian’s jokes are acceptable and he controls the heat very well. And he is willing to "sacrifice himself" and allow his partner to make his own jokes. (For specific evaluation of Wu Zongxian, please refer to his work "Why Wu Zongxian became the King of Entertainment Hosts")
Disadvantages: "Dad, you are messing around outside again, go home quickly!" (Xian's second daughter's "Classic quote", Wu Ergege is currently in elementary school)
Three: Hugua
Originally, Hua Ge could be ranked second, but due to his main column "Extraordinary Men and Women". ” was discontinued, resulting in a decline in popularity. (The main reason for the suspension was that partner Gao Yiping got married and retired from the television industry. Without this green leaf, Gua Ge was unable to function alone. The program changed female hosts and formats several times, but all failed). But Gua Ge is definitely a "big brother" in talk shows. I have always hoped to see him and Cui Yongyuan *** co-host a show. It would be very "lively". But Gua Ge is not a "neighbor's son". He is a "person" who looks at the world with a cold eye and is always "sarcastic". Once, a female guest was moved to tears, and the male guest used tissues to persuade her. Brother Gu followed the advice at first, but then immediately said, "Stop crying - if you cry again, I'll crush you!"
< p>Compared with Wu Zongxian's "always talking non-stop", Gua Ge has a cold sense of humor. Gao Yiping speaks three or four sentences, while Gua Ge only speaks one sentence. However, he often speaks "astonishingly" and can always catch the conversation. The "subtleties" are amplified and this is what "will be discovered".Disadvantages: The "cooperative adaptability" is not strong. After changing the female host, Gua Ge is obviously "out of state". In fact, the later "Vivian" also has great potential, but not as "Gao Yiping" "Noisy" (when noisy, there will be "loopholes", seizing the "loopholes" is Gua Ge's specialty). Therefore, the two of them cannot cooperate. Moreover, Gua Ge seems a bit "old", which makes me feel sad!
Four: Bai Yansong
If this ranking had appeared in the late 1990s, Bai Yansong would have been the first. At that time, he was "at the height of his power" and represented Chinese television. The strongest voice of news, especially the small column "Face to Face", fully demonstrated Bai Yansong's eloquence and thinking ability. At the beginning of 1997, I conducted a live interview with him in the live broadcast room of Heilongjiang Radio. His responsiveness, knowledge, insights, etc., all made me "sigh as a god". I once asked him "What is he most afraid of?" What?" He casually said, "I'm afraid the song will end and everyone will be separated." What a perfect answer. Especially at that time, he clearly pointed out that he "longs for his old age" and at the same time "very much hopes to see more gray-haired male hosts, and excellent and experienced mothers who have the brilliance of motherhood." Female host." However, during the live broadcast of the Iraq war four years later, we did not see the Bai Yansong who was full of "wisdom and exploration". What we saw was the "too sophisticated, even a little sophisticated" Bai Yansong, who was much calmer and more simple. Less with Ruimin.
Some people say that "CCTV is like a large state-owned enterprise with a monopoly nature that only consumes talents but does not cultivate talents." Is this true?
Disadvantages: Too much "successful mentality" and almost all innocence.
Five: Liang Dong
Liang Dong is currently the "big celebrity" of Phoenix TV. He is the host and editor-in-chief of two programs ("Entertainment Show", "Meili Genesis" 》). Not every host can be the editor-in-chief, but as long as you see Liang Dong's publicity and confidence in "Entertainment Show", you will understand how important the role of "chief editor" is. In particular, Mr. Liang (as he calls himself on the show) is good at employing people - Shen Hongfei, who is said to be the most popular freelance writer in the country, was recruited under his banner. It is an indisputable fact that behind successful people there are often mentors from experts (for example, Cui Yongyuan has Yang Dongping, Feng Xiaogang has Wang Shuo before him and Liu Zhenyun after him). However, Liang Dong's personal eloquence is still very good. He is unrestrained and unrestrained. Sometimes he is a literary humorist, and sometimes he is a vulgar adult suggestive comedy. Anyway, he is constantly inspired and always makes it difficult to change the channel. I interviewed him in Dalian in April this year. In those days, he had just hosted the live broadcast of Leslie Cheung’s funeral. In life, Editor Liang is "confident and humble". Despite my repeated attempts to induce him, he still does not say any critical opinions about domestic entertainment programs or hosts. When asked, he always says "very good". It made me deeply understand the "major difference between work and life" - on the show, he "speaks freely and says whatever he wants", but in life he is very careful about what he says and does.
Disadvantages: "A turtle in sheep's clothing, it shrinks back when there is any disturbance." - Liang Dong's self-assessment.
Six: Wang Zhi
At the beginning, I was hesitant to put Wang Zhi on the list, because I always felt that he should be included in the "reporter" sequence (if so, he should be a "reporter") "China's No. 1 Reporter"), it wasn't until I consulted my friend Zhang Wei, a great talent at Heilongjiang Radio Station, that I finally decided. Zhang Wei said: Any program with communication should be regarded as a host program. Makes sense.
When "News Investigation" was first launched 6 years ago, Wang Zhi was the "little boy" and the program was very good. If you observe carefully, you will find that he already showed the characteristics of interviewing Wang Zhi later. The acting mayor of Qishan has a sharp tongue. Unfortunately, the focus of "Investigation News" is on "incidents", and there are few "boiling" incidents like SARS in terms of topics, so he has never been very famous. Until the launch of "Face to Face" last year, Wang Zhi was given ample room to develop, so it was natural for him to interview Wang Qishan and become an instant hit.
Wang Zhi’s “emergence” also has another important significance. People began to reconsider what the “best news program host” should look like? In the past, Bai Yansong was basically regarded as "our country's best news program host" and "versatile", and he also "commented" on the Olympics and World Cup. However, Wang Zhi's "appearance" (or "qualification") made him a first-class host. ranks) makes people think, "Does Bai Yansong lack some edge?" As for news, no matter how easy it is to talk about it, the audience hopes that you can "explore and question" for everyone, but you "always put it in first or second gear", and sometimes inadvertently put it in "reverse gear", so the audience naturally Be dissatisfied.
The great hosts in the West are all "sharp" and dare to challenge authority. This not only means "large space for speech", but more importantly, they can "discuss things as they are", grasp contradictions and make people convinced. . I predict that reporters in the future will learn more from Wang Zhi. However, his rich "questioning and questioning" skills are not easy to learn.
Disadvantages: Don’t think that when the guest cried during the interview and the host cried with him, it shows how “warm” he is (Wang Zhi cried with a female anti-SARS doctor when interviewing him). The host's "warmth and generosity" should be more of a "compassion" in all the programs. You must know that the inner world of "Strict Father" has been very "full of warmth" since ancient times, and "strictness" is just an appearance. This may be too harsh on Wang Zhi, but I hope he can show "appropriate concern and sympathy" when interviewing "criminal suspects" in the future.
Seven: Li Yong
The reason why Li Yong is ranked "seventh" is because "seven" is his auspicious number (that is, from a personal preference, he is my favorite). I worked with Mr. Li Yong for a year. In 1999's "Lucky 52", the openness of China's television made Li Yong a "heterogeneous" character (10 years ago, it was hard to imagine that his style would be accepted by CCTV). ).
The popularity of a host is somewhat similar to the popularity of actors and singers, that is, it is related to an opportunity, but this opportunity must "belong" to you, otherwise it will be difficult to succeed. In fact, before "Lucky 52", Li Yong was already the host of CCTV 4's "End of the World", but the coverage of the program was small, and the format of the program failed to reflect (excavate) Li's personality. Because of Yong's unique personality, Li Yong's performance was mediocre, but the emergence of "Lucky 52" created "star host Li Yong". I have explained "the reason why Li Yong became famous" in the article "An Old Friend Speaks of Li Yong", so I won't go into details here.
Na Ying once regretted that he should not have transferred "I wish you peace" to Sun Yue, which made Sun Yue famous in one fell swoop. But in fact, the powerful British singer had already become famous, and it would not be easy to reach the next level. It lacks a good song, and from the perspective of the song style, "Wish You Peace" should be more suitable for Sun Yue, whose singing style and temperament are relatively sweet.
This is the so-called opportunity that "belongs" to Sun Yue. In other words, if "Lucky 52" is produced by another CCTV host, it may not be successful. Imagine if Zhu Jun is the right one? Or is Bi Fujian suitable? Even if there are certain "bright spots", I'm afraid it won't have the "out of the blue" effect like Li Yong's. Of course, Zhu Jun and Bi Fujian may not be willing to host this kind of program, as the so-called "each has its own field." In 1999, "Chia Tai Variety Show" invited Li Yong to host, but he politely declined, mainly because the program format of "Chia Tai Variety Show" at that time could not give full play to his advantages and expertise.
Disadvantages: There are many innovations in form (such as turning the question board to the audience, a unique way of ending, etc.), but there is limited progress in hosting concepts, and even tends to be conservative. For example, three years ago he still He dared to "hug" the female audience (this was designed by the program), but now he is waiting for others to hug him, and he is much "deeper". There have been many times during the program when "sparks" just started to appear, but they stopped talking and continued to ask questions, losing the opportunity to further showcase their talents. Good entertainment programs all focus on "discourse communication", and Li Yong still has a lot of room for improvement in this aspect.
Eight: Dou Wentao
Dou Wentao is definitely not a "great talent" type of host. Even he does not admit this, but "Qiang Qiang Threesome" still has a high cultural content talk show, the reason is naturally that the guests are "heavyweight", Xu Zidong and Liang Wendao both have "more than five schools." Therefore, the level of the host is not directly proportional to the cultural background. The key lies in whether he can control the situation and guide the program in the predetermined direction. In this regard, Dou Wentao is definitely a master. 1999 was the "Year of Dou Wentao". That year Phoenix Channel even created "Old Dou Bar" just for him. Now this program is long gone, but his trump card program "Three's Company" has become more and more sophisticated, which shows that this is His "main position".
Disadvantages: Not suitable for hosting large-scale programs, especially entertainment and evening parties. Originally this shouldn't be considered a shortcoming of his, if he didn't go at all.
Nine: Ma Dong
I just got the news that Ma Dong will host another puzzle TV program "Absolute Hero", which is sponsored by Jiangxi Economic Life Channel and Hunan It is co-produced by Satellite TV, and before that, he also hosted a similar column "Century Strategy". However, the general audience is familiar with him through "Challenge the Host", and now "The Story Behind" is also popular. His popularity reached its peak for the first time two years ago when his Hunan TV show "Speak Well" was stopped because of "too bold subject matter."
If CCTV’s best news program host is Bai Yansong, and the best entertainment program host is Li Yong, then Ma Dong’s style is right in between the two, with both wise and intellectual temperament. He also has the outstanding ability to control large scenes and activate the atmosphere of the scene. Perhaps because he was born in a famous family, Ma Dong always seemed very calm, graceful, and able to persist in things worth persisting in. Once in "If You Have Something to Say," Ma Dong asked the two parties respectively, "What's the matter with you?" "Understanding, what do you think love is?" showing aristocratic charm.
Ma Dong will not "suddenly become popular", but he will definitely "last forever."
Disadvantages: The "shape" is a bit random, which further highlights his "not amazing appearance".
Ten: Zhu Jun
When I wrote this article, Zhu Jun had already won the "Golden Eagle" championship, but I always believe that many of the domestic "awards" belong to the "Golden Eagle" championship. In a very small circle, the game played by some people does not have much practical significance. For example, in the film industry, I have never seen any film become famous because of (winning domestic awards). I only heard that when good films win awards, the audience It has already received rave reviews, but even after winning the award, the mediocre work still received no plaudits. The most important thing in award evaluation is authority (not fairness, there is no absolute fairness, only "authority" relative to the unity of standards). And some awards are difficult to do, which also leads to the truly outstanding people not caring much about some domestic "awards".
Zhu Jun is obviously a truly outstanding person, but he always feels far away from the common people. For example, at the Spring Festival Gala, he looks like someone sent by his superiors to show condolences. He is talented and serious, but only What is missing is the sincerity from the heart and the bones. It makes you feel that his enthusiasm belongs more to the polite series than the sincere series. This is even more obvious in "Art Life". Now this program is in full swing, but everyone seems to give all the credit to the host. In fact, first of all, the guests invited are "good at acting" and easy to "reveal their true feelings". In addition, Appropriate "little tricks", of course, everyone had tears in their eyes. This can only show that the creative team of "Art Life" is definitely first-class, but Zhu Jun may not have performed the best.
Disadvantages: Lack of real "true feelings".
