Chapter 17 Chapter 4 The God of Taxi

God is indeed very kind to me. When I was working at Hangzhou Traffic Economic Radio Station, I just caught up with the leap period of the radio station.To be precise, it was a period of great development of urban media in China. Television, radio, newspapers, the Internet... were all improving rapidly and subtly changing people's lives. Today's Hua Shao came out of that great era. It gave me a rare opportunity, allowing me to complete the long experience from the bottom to the peak, and let me gradually figure out the trajectory of life through the experience. . When I first arrived at Hangzhou Traffic Economic Radio Station, the station’s listening rate was really not high. It ranked second to last in Hangzhou, but when I left, it had already jumped to the first place in the city.To be honest, because the audience rate was not high, the hosts of our station were a little inferior at first.So, when I started the show with "Hi everyone, I'm Hu Qiaohua", I seemed to have a bit of ambition to be known by the whole world.

Hard work pays off, perhaps the audience was infected by my enthusiasm, and the several programs I was in charge of gradually improved, especially the hotline program, which was really hot enough to handle.Later, I transferred from the hotline group to the traffic program group of "Zheng Er Ba Jing", which ushered in the first peak of my career, and it was also the most proud period of my radio career-a full 14 months, The listening rate of my program ranks first in Hangzhou. I often brag to my friends: "Hey, back then, all the taxis in Hangzhou City listened to my command and dispatch, and I have the final say on all arrangements!" Of course, jokes are always jokes. Sharing road condition information will also solve problems for the public.

But even I often underestimate the energy of the show.I remember that there was a time when taxis were needed for an event in the station. The difficulty of getting a taxi in Hangzhou has long existed, so I told it a little bit in the program, and as a result, hundreds of taxis flocked to the intersection in an instant, blocking the intersection tightly. Reality.At that time, I sincerely thanked the traffic police uncle for not holding me accountable. Another time, a listener said that there were no taxis waiting at the train station. I helped call them on the show, but a listener called two minutes later and said, "Don't come, the taxis can't stop."

The audience rating is to radio programs, just like the ratings are to TV programs. More people listen to it, which means that the program is recognized by the public.My program has a good audience rating, and more and more people in Hangzhou know me, or to be precise, know my voice. It is of course a good thing to be recognized by everyone, but sometimes good things also have some side effects.Let’s take a taxi as an example. I often encounter situations like this: it’s fine not to talk in the car, but when I talk, I immediately “reveal my true nature”.The driver always said to me ecstatically: "Hey, you are that Hua Shao, right? Where are you going?" Then he kept talking, and no matter where I went, I refused to take money when I arrived.

Refusal to collect money is not necessarily a good thing for me!Why do you say that?As a person, I can't stand receiving rewards for nothing, and I often give more money for this matter. For example, I paid 16 yuan, but the master refused to accept it, so I had to leave 20 yuan and run away.In this way, basically every time I take a taxi, I have to pay an extra four or five yuan to go out. If things go on like this, it is not a small amount. It is a bit painful to think about it!Having said that, I am still very proud, at least I have proved that I am popular and liked by others. That program has accompanied me through many years of DJ career. What is proud of is that it is still preserved until today. It is called "Joyful People in Traffic", and the ratings of the program are still very high, although I have been away for six full years.In my spare time, I still listen to it occasionally, the familiar pattern, the familiar voice—the hostess is still the same, she is still my old partner Yuer, and she has already been promoted to assistant director.

In fact, the mode of "Happy People in Traffic" is very simple, set the point of view, throw out the topic, and then interact with the audience through text messages, but it can exercise the host's resilience.Back then, I was doing my best every day, and I even received praise text messages from the audience: "I don't want to get out of the car until I listen to you two." The time slot for that program was from 4:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. Originally, people arrived at the station at 5:30 p.m., but in order to finish listening to the program, they insisted on sitting for another half an hour.Every time I "encounter" such a situation, should I be happy, happy, or happy?

A few days ago, I saw such a sentence on Weibo, and I was very touched: The so-called growth is to take things that were previously valued a little less, and to take things that were previously underestimated a little more. Thinking about it now, the host is like Antaeus, the god of Hercules in ancient Greek mythology, with infinite power, but once he leaves the earth, he loses all his powers.Whether it is a radio host or a TV host, the audience is our land, without them, we are nothing.
