In March 1998, zhu Rongji, then the new premier, held a press conference in Beijing, attended by as many as 600 Chinese and foreign journalists.
At the beginning of the reception, Chinese and foreign reporters all rushed to ask questions to the premier, and Premier Zhu Rongji smiled, straightened his back, naturally placed his arms on the table in front of him, and answered the reporters' questions one by one in a serious and cordial manner.
After a while, seeing that the reception time was halfway through, the reporters still did not lose their enthusiasm and rushed to raise their hands to ask questions. Just when the staff did not know which reporter to choose to ask questions, suddenly a voice came, causing the eyes of the whole audience to look in the direction of the sound.
"You should pay attention to how well Miss Wu Xiaoli of Phoenix TV is good, give her a chance, I like her program very much." It turned out that Premier Zhu Rongji was speaking to the staff.
Hearing the premier shout his name, Wu Xiaoli, who was busy raising her hand in the audience, looked at Premier Zhu Rongji in surprise, and she saw that the premier was looking at her and smiled at her cordially.
"Next, I would like to invite Wu Xiaoli, a reporter from Phoenix Satellite TV, to ask a question!" As soon as the staff's voice dropped, Wu Xiaoli immediately stood up.
What Wu Xiaoli did not expect was that she would be named by Premier Zhu Rongji, and what she did not expect was that after being named, she would become famous and become a focal point in the media at home and abroad and a television star who was popular all over the taiwan strait and three places.
Then, why did Premier Zhu Rongji personally name Wu Xiaoli at the press conference? After being lucky to name Wu Xiaoli, what happened to her?
Wu Xiaoli
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="16" > Wu Xiaoli and Premier Zhu Rongji: one dares to ask, one dares to answer</h1>
In March 1998, during the two sessions, the election of the prime minister and chairman of the people's congress of the new government became an important agenda item for the two sessions, and the election of the prime minister seemed to be more concerned.
The two sessions, as a major media event, the major media have used all their strength to report first, and strive to make exclusive reports, and the first step is to select competent cadres to go to the scene of the two sessions to report.
Liu Changle, the owner of Phoenix Tv, undoubtedly faced this problem, and when he hesitated to send which reporters to Beijing to attend the two sessions, he thought of Wu Xiaoli. At that time, Wu Xiaoli was a reporter at Hong Kong Phoenix Television, and she attended the press conference during the Party's "15th National Congress" and left a good story.
When she attended the reception, she would immediately raise her hand and ask questions as soon as she had the opportunity, and her questions could be heard in almost every session, for which she was also known as the "Fifteen Flowers".
As a result, everyone ran to her for autographs, when others asked, "How did you come up with such a good question in such a short period of time?" ”
Wu Xiaoli said with a smile: "Because I want to report more information that the people want to know, I know that it is rare to get a chance to ask a question, so I cherish every opportunity even more and have long been prepared for the questions asked." ”
"Because you're prepared, you don't want to miss every opportunity to ask questions." Wu Xiaoli continued.
"Xiao Li, give you a new task, you go to Beijing!" By the way, go and sign again! Liu Changle said to Wu Xiaoli with a smile.
Wu Xiaoli knows that this task is important, but she is still looking forward to the two sessions for her love of media and challenges. In mid-March, Wu Xiaoli and her colleagues came to Beijing. Due to the hasty itinerary, after coming to Beijing, she began to collect various materials and actively prepare for the convening of the two sessions.
At that time, Zhu Rongji was elected premier by a large number of votes, and as soon as he heard the news, Wu Xiaoli, who had a strong news sensitivity, immediately drew up 9 questions with her colleagues. These questions are sorted by importance, and the reason why so many questions are listed is that I am worried that some questions may be asked by other media first, so I prepared a few more.
Wu Xiaoli wanted to express congratulations and support to the premier, but she was worried that the premier did not know herself, so she wrote a card to the premier, which wrote congratulations and blessings to the premier, and expressed her responsibility and mission as a media person. This card may not have been in the hands of Premier Zhu Rongji, but as a reporter wu Xiaoli who wants to interview, she does not want to miss every opportunity that may be interviewed.
On March 19, Wu Xiaoli came to the press conference with the questions she had already prepared, and at this time she only hoped to have the opportunity to ask questions, because at the Foreign Ministry reception a few days ago, even if she always sat in the first row, she seemed to be "ignored" by others, and her hand was always in vain. This time, she thought, even if she is not selected to ask questions, she should always have an impression of herself!
There were many reporters in the venue, from all over the world, and before the press conference began, some journalist friends would chat with each other and get to know each other. Some reporters recognized Wu Xiaoli and said with surprise: "Aren't you wu Xiaoli of last year's 'Fifteen Flowers'?" ”
"That's what they talk about playing, don't we all look the same?" Wu Xiaoli said with a smile.
"Are you still signing this year?" Liz. A friend next to the reporter asked.
"Sign, why don't you sign it!" I still want your signatures!" Do you give or not? Wu Xiaoli said with a smile, giving people a sense of calm but generous intimacy.
"Give! To give! Before Wu Xiaoli could finish speaking, the reporter friend next to him scrambled to say it.
The press conference was about to begin, and the Chinese and foreign reporters were correspondingly seated, and after a while, Premier Zhu Rongji and others slowly approached. At the beginning of the press conference, the Chinese and foreign reporters in the venue "couldn't hold back" and rushed to ask questions, because when they saw Premier Zhu Rongji, who had just taken office, everyone had too many problems.
The greater the curiosity, the more questions I want to ask, such as what kind of new policies will appear after the prime minister takes office, what kind of views and practices the prime minister will have on the current economic problems, and perhaps everyone is more concerned about economic issues!
Wu Xiaoli listened to the questions asked by everyone and found that most people were more concerned about economic reform, in fact, she was also very concerned, but she wanted to ask different answers. And these, she already had her own thoughts.
Premier Zhu Rongji on the stage was still patiently answering the reporters' questions, but at this time, Wu Xiaoli was a little overwhelmed, because every time she raised her hand, she was in vain, and there was not much time left at the reception.
Fortunately, Wu Xiaoli did not have the idea of giving up, as long as there was still a chance, she would fight for it, and she raised her hand again and again, expecting that the next time she was shouted at was herself. Just then, like a dream, he was named by the Prime Minister. This is the scene at the beginning.
Hearing Premier Zhu Rongji's personal roll call, she stood up without hesitation, looked at the premier who was smiling at herself, and said respectfully: "Thank you Premier Zhu for giving me this opportunity, what I want to say is that you are also my idol!" ”
It was Wu Xiaoli's simple words that not only expressed her gratitude to Premier Zhu, but also answered the premier's concern appropriately, even in the eyes of others, how unconventional the two were.
"Hello everyone, I'm Wu Xiaoli of Phoenix TV in Hong Kong, and the question I want to ask is..." Each reporter has two opportunities to ask questions.
Wu Xiaoli's first question was that on the question of how the central government is prepared to deal with the economic difficulties facing Hong Kong, Premier Zhu not only made his attitude clear, but also introduced the specific measures formulated by the government to solve them.
On the second question, Wu Xiaoli asked a more personal question, "Premier Zhu, the media at home and abroad have a very high evaluation of you, but some people say that you are the 'iron-faced prime minister', and some people say that you are the 'economic czar', and some people say that when you carried out economic reform, you also caused trouble to your family. ”
Hearing this question, the people at the scene were shocked, and she not only re-found the angle of the question, she also raised a question that many people did not dare to ask.
Some sharp words such as "iron-faced prime minister", "economic czar" and so on reached the ears of the prime minister, who not only did not evade answering, but was aroused by these words and aroused his passion.
This challenging question also made Premier Zhu have to answer, because it was not only to answer Wu Xiaoli's question, but also to express his attitude to his journalist friends and people around the world in front of him.
Premier Zhu Rongji said firmly and calmly: "I can tell you clearly that this difficulty is nothing, and I do not care whether there are landmines or abysses ahead, as long as it is beneficial to the people, I will always persevere and have no remorse!" ”
The "fierce" confrontation between Wu Xiaoli and Premier Zhu won applause and praise from the audience, and she stimulated Premier Zhu Rongji's emotions with challenging and stimulating questions, thus causing Premier Zhu to explode with emotion and utter a generous statement from the bottom of her heart.
Later, Wu Xiaoli also said: "This Q&A with Premier Zhu made her very happy and excited, and both of them were very satisfied with this 'exchange'. ”
At that time, there were also media praise for Wu Xiaoli's "two sessions and one question to move the capital", wu Xiaoli also became a famous figure at that time, and she also became famous overnight because of this question.
There are many people who sigh: "It is really a dare to ask, a dare to answer!" ”
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="53" > don't be afraid! When you speak, you treat everyone in the audience as wood and watermelon</h1>
Wu Xiaoli, born in 1967 to an ordinary family in Taiwan Province, is originally from Shaoxing, Zhejiang, and is the "fifth golden flower" of this family, she has four older sisters and one younger sister.
Compared with several sisters, Wu Xiaoli's appearance is not outstanding, she was just born, her skin is somewhat red and black, and she is as thin as a small monkey. But she has been a genie ghost since she was a child, very smart, and there are many ghost ideas, and her parents are very fond of the eccentric Wu Xiaoli, and she has also brought a lot of joy to her family.
When she was a child, Wu Xiaoli liked self-expression, and every time her parents took a few of their sisters to take pictures, she would always pose in a different posture than usual. So every time the photo is washed out, everyone does not first look at how they look on the photo, but curiously go to see what tricks Wu Xiaoli has this time.
Perhaps it is the reason for the lack of boys in this family, and it just so happens that Wu Xiaoli shows a lively and masculine spirit, and has been raised by her mother as a boy since she was a child, often cutting short hair and wearing shorts. When she was a child, she almost did not wear a skirt, and often played with the little boy, in such a loose and happy family environment, Wu Xiaoli was more free to show her personality.
After going to school, Wu Xiaoli in addition to liking to read some novels, she also likes to ask questions to others, it seems that she is full of curiosity about the people and things around her, perhaps because of the diligent study, Wu Xiaoli's results have been among the best, won a lot of prizes, she is also very good at speech competitions, almost every time can win the championship!
When it comes to the speech competition, in fact, when she first started participating in the competition, the girl who was not afraid of the day and the ground was actually very nervous, and she would shake her hands so much that she could not speak, and her mother encouraged her: "Don't be afraid, Xiaoli, when you talk, you will treat the people in the audience as wood and watermelon." ”
Unexpectedly, this method of the mother is very effective, every time she is nervous, she remembers her mother's words, and then helps herself to overcome the tension in her heart, smooth speech and even passionate speech, winning a round of applause.
As a child, Wu Xiaoli has always lived in joy and happiness, she said she has the best parents, the best sisters, the best family in the world. This family not only brought her a happy childhood, but also invisibly cultivated her sound personality, giving her optimism, cheerfulness, self-confidence and never-say-die faith.
When she was in middle school, the failure of the high school joint examination made her miss the ideal school in her heart, North One Girls' High School, and chose her second choice Zhongshan Girls' High School, but this did not drown her original talent and excellence.
When she was in middle school, Wu Xiaoli had her own clear goal of pursuing, that is, to become a journalist or a lawyer, because she believed that these two professions could do justice, so when she applied for the university, she did not hesitate to apply for Fu Jen University, and later, she was also admitted to the Department of Mass Communication of Fu Jen University as she wished.
During her college years, she actively interned at a newspaper and television station in Taiwan, and she also worked as the editor-in-chief of the department magazine "The Communicator", when she also joked that she was like a little sister who was a miscellaneous worker, and when she left "The Communicator", she began to miss the job, and wanted to write for it again and engage in editorial work.
The study and practice of her student years have invisibly laid a solid foundation for her to become an excellent journalist in the future.
In 1988, Wu Xiaoli graduated from the Department of Mass Communication of Fu Jen University, and in September, she participated in the recruitment of reporters for "Huashi" (a joint stock of "Ministry of Education" and "Ministry of National Defense" in Taiwan), with strength and outstanding talent, she passed five levels and six generals, entered the top 10 from hundreds, after various tests, written interviews, and finally only 5 people were left, Wu Xiaoli entered the Ministry of Information.
She just started working, due to lack of experience, coupled with the fact that the news itself is a serious job, there is no room for mistakes, so Wu Xiaoli's pressure can also be imagined, only the first half of the year, she lost 8 pounds.
After working in the news department for less than a year, one day the manager asked her: "Xiaoli, do you dare to broadcast the news?" ”
Wu Xiaoli blurted out: "Dare! ”
In this way, in April 1989, Wu Xiaoli sat on the anchor station of "Huashi".
To be a good anchor, you not only need good eloquence, but also have the ability to adapt to changes and calm business qualities. After all, the anchor room is sometimes like a "battlefield", you don't know what the next news is, you don't know when the next news will come, and there are many uncertainties.
Once, in order to "save the emergency", Wu Xiaoli only had 20 minutes left before the start of the broadcast, she had to spend 10 minutes to make up, 5 minutes to pass the manuscript, 5 minutes to quickly prepare, and then began to count down to five, four, three and two, the anchor needed to quickly adjust the facial expression, skillfully said: "Hello audience friends, welcome to watch Huashi News." This sentence seems to have become the anchor's muscle memory.
In the four years of China Television, Wu Xiaoli not only interviewed the 1989 air disaster search and rescue, the 1991 Taipei explosion, she also came to shanghai and Chengdu to cover the "cross-strait navigation seminar", it was this trip to the mainland that made her see the grandeur of the motherland and the enthusiasm of the people on the mainland, and she wanted her program to make more people on the mainland see.
In 1993, Wu Xiaoli ushered in an important turning point in her life, Hong Kong Satellite TV (the predecessor of Phoenix) issued an invitation to Wu Xiaoli, which made her both happy and excited, a year ago, she had been to the mainland, she was already full of yearning and expectations for Chinese mainland.
Wu Xiaoli said: "When she was a child, she learned from geography textbooks that there are many mountains and rivers in China, and there are many Chinese who speak the same language as her, so she wants to do better programs for more Chinese to see." ”
So she accepted the invitation of Hong Kong Satellite TV and came to Hong Kong, and the glory of her career has just begun, and this has become a better stage for her to show her personal dreams.
At that time, Wu Xiaoli heard that There was a problem of the "97 return" in Hong Kong, and she wanted to work in the mainland even more, because she just liked this kind of challenging work.
She said: "'97' is a major event concerning the people of the whole country!" This is also a relatively difficult thing to do, now that I am going, I still have time to understand Hong Kong, and I believe that by then, I will be able to report better on Hong Kong, and I will be able to see 97 more realistically. ”
It is such a Wu Xiaoli with strong patriotic feelings and fearless professionalism, on July 1, 1997, Hong Kong returned to the embrace of the motherland, and she made the "Hong Kong Return to the Century Report - 60 Hours Non-stop" program, which adopted the live broadcast method and became the golden program of Phoenix Television.
Wu Xiaoli's years of experience in the industry have also allowed her to form her own unique interview and broadcast style, but in the process of interviewing, she has never condescended, nor has she bowed her knees, but respected in front and fallen generously.
With outstanding ability, Wu Xiaoli successively attended the press conference of the 15th National Congress in 1997 and the new Premier Zhu Rongji in 1998. In fact, when she attended the two sessions in 1998, she already had ten years of work experience.
Zhu Rongji
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="84" > followed Premier Zhu Rongji on his visit to Europe and the United States</h1>
At the press conference in 1998, after Wu Xiaoli was personally named by the premier, everyone knew that the premier also liked Wu Xiaoli's program. Later, Wu Xiaoli also had two opportunities to follow Premier Zhu Rongji on overseas visits, one in 1998 and the other in the United States and Canada in 1999.
On the occasion of his visit to Europe, Premier Zhu Rongji had just stepped off the plane and was greeting everyone, when he saw Wu Xiaoli on the side communicating with some people, very lively, and said to Wu Xiaoli with a smile: "You are really on fire now!" ”
Wu Xiaoli then joked: "Thanks to the prime minister's praise!" Everyone on the side laughed.
Wu Xiaoli also wrote in her diary: "The premier has a serious and cold side, but also a straightforward and kind side, and when he sees the reporters following him every day, he will say with concern that 'the reporters and friends are hard!'" As soon as he had free time, he told us to hurry up and rest. ”
Premier Zhu has a frank and straightforward personality, and when Chinese and foreign reporters interview him, he always pushes his heart and answers questions seriously, and sometimes when he can't hear the questions clearly, the premier will turn his head sideways and prop up his ears to listen patiently.
In France, there were some protests that spread leaflets, and at that time some media asked Premier Zhu Rongji's views on this matter, but because there were too many people at that time, the premier did not hear clearly, so he honestly replied: "I did not hear the problem clearly." ”
By the time he heard what his friends in the media were asking, the prime minister had walked out the door, but he still turned his head and said loudly: "I didn't see it." ”
The long visit also made Wu Xiaoli admire premier Zhu by her name even more, and what she did not expect was that Premier Zhu Rongji also had a soft side of iron man. When they visited the United States and Canada in 1999, they went to a very famous garden in Canada, and at that time, they were accompanied by Premier Zhu's wife, and Wu Xiaoli smiled and asked: "Has the premier ever sent flowers to his wife?" ”
Zhu Rongji smiled: "Or you can ask Madame!" ”
Madame hurriedly said, "Yes and yes." Both laughed happily.
In Wu Xiaoli's impression, there is another thing that she still remembers, that is, during her visit to the United States and Canada, Premier Zhu Rongji said in a speech in the United States that Shanghai is China's New York. So during a visit to Canada, Wu Xiaoli asked the prime minister: "Premier, you said that Shanghai is China's New York, so what is Hong Kong in China?" ”
Premier Zhu Rongji replied: "Hong Kong is China's Toronto. ”
But then there were many media reports that Toronto's development was far inferior to That of New York, so why is Hong Kong Toronto? The next day, Premier Zhu Rongji clarified the matter, saying: "I just need to clarify a little more, I was in Canada when I said that." ”
Just such a sentence solved the misunderstanding and slander of some media at that time, and Wu Xiaoli also saw the wisdom of a politician and the importance of public opinion.
Wu Xiaoli, who is now the deputy director and news anchor of Phoenix Satellite TV Information Station, is already a household name, and she is also growing and shining in the position she loves, and she is also looking forward to bringing more excellent works to the public.
