Chapter 12 Chapter 3 Hosting Work Made Me Grow Up

I was doing an exclusive interview with a magazine before, and I used a popular word on the Internet to summarize the road I have traveled: counterattack. Thinking back to when I was in college, it was windy and rainy, and I had to run on the road for the one-hour program. The "Yangzhou Fried Rice" at the school gate became my must-have food, and I insisted on eating it for a year and a half... "It couldn't be more appropriate to describe my former self. In my world, tragedies have become comedies over a period of time. One day, you will tell the tragedies of the year to be happy.For me, college life has such a tragic color, which finally gave me a passionate comedy energy.

At the beginning of my freshman year, I signed up to participate in the selection contest of the radio host. The first round of interviews was very simple, so simple that I left the examination room before I even entered the state. The two examiners sat side by side and looked at my resume. One of them looked up and asked me: "Do you use the Internet?" up. "You still have to be good at surfing the Internet!" the examiner said lightly, and then lowered his head to look at another resume.Just when I felt that I was out of the game, another examiner suddenly said: "You look like a host on our station, and the flow of language is good." What does flow of language mean?My monk Zhang Er couldn't figure it out and didn't dare to talk nonsense, so he could only nod his head and say "thank you".

It was only later that I learned that the so-called flow of language is actually the flow of language, and the definition in books is the state of motion of spoken language.Just like a current of water, sometimes it is ups and downs, sometimes the turbid waves are empty, and sometimes it is calm.There are also cadences in the flow of speech, sometimes impassioned and sometimes slow, so that the curvaceous beauty and sense of rhythm can be created in the sense of hearing. Thanks to this flow of language, I, who didn't speak much at all in the first round of interviews, actually entered the re-examination.I think, here, I should thank sister Jiang Feng again.

The re-examination was held in the school gymnasium, mainly to test the individual talents of the contestants, and the stage was set on the rostrum.A group of contestants who were promoted with me were better than each other. Jacky Cheung, Andy Lau, Zhou Huajian, modern dance, folk dance, hiphop (street rap) were all present, making it look like a Spring Festival Gala.What's even more outrageous is that there are still people performing rhythmic gymnastics. Why should the host know rhythmic gymnastics?There are many host competitions today that have performances better than this, but I still have to ask, why?

I was stunned watching from the audience. I thought that just like when I was going to university, I just recited it in a proper manner. Why is there such a difficult performance?If you knew this earlier, you should be prepared.I secretly counted on my fingers. I have no talent in singing, and I have never practiced dancing. My dad gave me up on the electronic piano back then. When it was my turn to play, I stepped onto the stage as if I were dead, stood in the center, glanced at the "audience" sitting below, and cleared my throat: "Hello, judges, everyone, I am Hu Qiaohua, contestant No. ××. Today, I want to tell you a story..."

There was silence in the audience, all looking forward to what I would say next. "Once upon a time, there was a female textile worker who lived in Babaoshan. Every day when she took the bus home, she would pass a small forest..." Yes, in broad daylight, I stood on the stage and told a ghost story to a stadium audience, and it was a well-known story.Surprisingly, the final effect was not bad. I spoke so vividly on stage that I had goosebumps all over my body, and the people in the audience were also very involved in listening to it, and it was quite enjoyable to be scared. In this way, relying on an old ghost story, I defeated many "strength singers", "dance artists" and "excellent sports athletes" and entered the third finals.

The competition in the finals still fell into place, focusing on language expression.After all, I was born in a professional class, and I can be considered a battle-tested person. When I encountered this, I was not so afraid.It went smoothly and won the sixth place, and I am very satisfied. According to the rules, the top three contestants have the opportunity to enter the radio station as guest hosts.I was number six, and I thought it had nothing to do with me at first, but unexpectedly, three days later, the radio station called me and asked me if I would like to give it a try. I am very surprised, I am only the sixth place, and my talent is so unreliable, how could I be selected?Regarding this question, I later asked the leader solemnly, and the answer I got was: "I just think that your language flow is relatively good, your speech is very smooth, and your on-the-spot response and question-and-answer performance are also good..."

So, by mistake, I got an outdoor live broadcast pop music program, which is also an interactive radio variety show - "Flying Spirits". The so-called outdoor live broadcast means that I need to broadcast live in the transparent glass studio of the shopping mall. The content is naturally to recommend albums, analyze albums, and promote them by the way.At the same time, I also need to interact directly with the onlookers outside the house, and let the onlookers who don't know the truth and the listeners in front of the radio interact through the hotline, which is quite similar to a live interactive talk show.

This experience was an extraordinary experience for me, and it accumulated valuable experience for me to work in the radio station later.Although the god of luck favored me, various tests also followed. Obviously, I must make full physical and mental preparations for this luck. My university is in Xiaoheshan, which is far away from the urban area. To go to school, I have to take a bus from the beginning to the end, from the edge of the city to the suburban town, and then transfer to No. 336 to Xiaoheshan Station.Of course, there are quite a lot of choices when you are in transit. You can take a minibus for a dollar; you can also choose a motorcycle to experience the feeling of an open top.Now Xiaohe Mountain is already a higher education park, but when we first went there, there was nothing in it, only the beautiful scenery beyond the world.

To get to and from school, I had to go up and down the mountain, but when I wanted to do a radio show, I had to go through ninety-nine and eighty-one difficulties like the Tang monk in the movie: I had to go down the mountain first, and I took a minibus for about 10 minutes to Liuliu Town; Down town, take bus 306, turn around for 40 minutes to Gudang; then turn to bus 152 from Gudang, which is a kind of tram with braids, which has long since disappeared; take bus 152 for more than 40 minutes to Wulin Square, After getting off the bus, I walked for 20 minutes or took another bus stop, and I arrived at my destination——Intime Department Store.When I finished the show and went back, these cars sat in reverse again, day after day-in that year and a half, what impressed me the most was probably not the show, but the fatigue on the road.

When I arrived at Yintai Department Store, after making some preparations, I got into the transparent studio. It goes without saying that there must be a group of people watching outside at this time.In fact, there is nothing to watch. I said what I had to say while controlling the instrument. There was no element of performance, but I was watched by different people with relish every day.Occasionally, this kind of scene will make me feel a little bit of emotion: it’s all like this, it should be regarded as a small achievement. This broadcast program later hosted many artists, and the one that impressed me the most was Fan Bingbing.Fan Bingbing had just finished playing "Huan Zhu Ge Ge" at that time. Although she was not as popular as Zhao Wei and Ruby Lin, her popularity should not be underestimated.During the live broadcast, the cars on the entire Yan'an Road were motionless, and the shopping malls were overcrowded. As a student, I am naturally not qualified to go "face-to-face" in the live broadcast room. I can only stay outside the glass house as an outfield host, holding a microphone to interview the audience.Recalling that Master Fan was so close to me back then, I couldn't help drooling, so I wiped it first. Having said that, going out to do shows at that time was not only a long and difficult journey, but also eating became a big problem.When I left school every day, the cafeteria hadn’t opened yet, so I had no choice but to go to the school gate and ask for four yuan of Yangzhou fried rice to deal with it.This deal lasted for nearly a year and a half, and at the end, I suddenly realized that I had become a super VIP in that restaurant. Not only that, but the influence of this super VIP is quite far-reaching. Until now, among all kinds of delicacies, I still love fried rice.If you don't know what to eat, then order fried rice; if you cook by yourself, fried rice is the best.Once when I went to Macau, I spent a long time in the food court of the hotel. There were all kinds of Western and Chinese food, but I couldn’t get up my spirits at all. I suddenly saw the word “fried rice” and my appetite whetted. I have to admit that I felt tired occasionally during that time, but I never thought of giving up, because I have always firmly believed that God favors hardworking and serious children.
