Who would put CCTV's "iron rice bowl" and don't want to resign and go to the United States?
Li Jiaming, the famous CCTV host we were once familiar with, made such a choice.
When he was 31 years old, he gave up everything in CCTV and resolutely went to the United States to study.
The strange thing is that the United States does not attract him to the so-called "American dream", let alone the "high-paying career" that everyone says.
And the source of this matter comes from a proverb of "angel investor" Xu Xiaoping.
However, when Li Jiaming returned from school, everything was wrong, his wife's bitterness, his daughter's strangeness, and CCTV's position was also replaced by a newcomer.
What did Xu Xiaoping say to Li Jiaming at that time?
Now that 17 years have passed, does Li Jiaming regret his decision?
●○"Engineer" delayed by broadcasting○●
In 1975, Li Jiaming, whose ancestral home is in Sichuan, was born in the vast Korla prairie.
Some people may wonder, how could Sichuan people be born in Xinjiang, thousands of miles away?
Then I have to mention the occupation of Li Jiaming's parents, his parents are an engineer couple who support Xinjiang, so Li Jiaming, a native of Sichuan, grew up in the grassland in his childhood.
Because of his parents' work, Li Jiaming often played in the office full of design drawings when he was a child.
Maybe it's the influence of the environment, or maybe it's the genes inherited from the parents.
Since he was a child, Li Jiaming has shown extraordinary computing powers, whether it is a math problem that is difficult for his peers to solve, or a math problem that is a headache for senior students, it is like a common thing in him.
However, although he is extremely talented in mathematics, Li Jiaming only loves literature, reading is his hobby, and the words in those books give others a headache to read, but he is like a treasure, as if words and numbers are different, and they bring him a different experience.
When he was eight years old, Li Jiaming followed his parents back to his hometown and moved from the grassland to the city.
But parents don't think so, they are afraid that their son will not be able to adapt to new things and people in an unfamiliar environment.
As it turned out, his parents' worries were completely unnecessary, and his cheerful personality quickly got along with his classmates, plus his excellent grades, even his teachers favored him.
In terms of academics, Li Jiaming has never let his parents worry about it, whether it is academic Xi grades or physical fitness, he is always a model for comparison with other families. But often this kind of child does not usually break out, and once it erupts, it is a "flash flood and tsunami".
"You're going to apply for a broadcasting academy?
In the year of the college entrance examination, Li Jiaming applied for the Beijing Broadcasting Institute despite the opposition of his parents, and his father who learned the news hated iron even more, and he was obviously a child who was so talented in mathematics, but he liked broadcasting.
But how would his parents know that he grew up on the grassland, and what he longed for was freedom and unscrupulously pursued what he liked.
Boring math wasn't his future, and the moment he held the microphone in his hand, he knew what he wanted.
However, the opposition of his parents was only the first obstacle that fate gave him, and then another bad news came.
The Beijing Broadcasting Institute does not recruit science students! Originally, in order to cope with his parents, when he was divided into arts and sciences, he filled in the science subject.
This news made Li Jiaming confused, but he did not lose his direction after failing to apply for the exam, but made a new plan.
●○No one's "dream road" is smooth sailing○●
The failure of the Beijing Broadcasting Institute made Li Jiaming's eyes turn to Sichuan Normal University.
In fact, with Li Jiaming's grades, he could have chosen a better school, but the result was so regrettable.
The parents who learned the news were angry, and immediately cut off relations with Li Jiaming, originally wanting to scare him so that he could repeat his studies for a year and take the exam again.
Without the financial support of his parents, the first hurdle in front of Li Jiaming was the tuition fee, and in desperation, he could only borrow money everywhere, and then work part-time to pay off his debts by working in a restaurant.
This kind of life lasted until 1994, when Chongqing TV recruited outside, and Li Jiaming seized the opportunity to step into the hall of Chongqing TV.
Who would have thought that today's famous CCTV host was only applying for a position of serving tea and pouring water at that time.
The size of the position did not affect Li Jiaming's original intention, in his opinion, opportunities are reserved for those who are prepared, as long as he can stay in the TV station, one day he can stand in front of the camera.
In his spare time, he often silently observes every move of the host in the studio, from conversation to body, as long as he can see him learning Xi all the time.
Perhaps God saw his efforts, and an opportunity was placed in front of him.
At that time, the station was preparing a live interview program, but when it was about to start, the host did not appear for a long time.
Later, I learned that the host had a car accident and was being sent to the hospital at this time!
Now everyone in the studio is dumbfounded, if there is a live broadcast accident on the TV station, it will be the news headlines.
At this time, there was no superfluous host to save the scene, and just as the director was about to cancel the live broadcast, Li Jiaming recommended himself.
The director saw that the high-achieving students who graduated from the acting class still had some hosting experience, and he could only be a dead horse doctor when time was pressed.
Maybe even the director didn't expect that the "handyman" he usually doesn't pay attention to would be able to talk eloquently in front of the camera for the first time on stage, calmly and skillfully, and save the whole live broadcast skillfully.
Li Jiaming's rescue made his name spread quickly in the station. The leaders of the station noticed this gold, and in this way, with the efforts of Li Jiaming, he finally ushered in his own screen debut - "Chongqing News".
Then Li Jiaming's career soared, from hosting "Chongqing News" to "Longmen Array", and by the way, he won the "Most Popular Host by the Audience" award that year.
The light he emitted also attracted the attention of CCTV, you must know that Li Jiaming was only 25 years old that year.
●○Stepping into CCTV, nobles help each other○●
At that time, Li Jiaming belonged to the "new generation" successor imported by CCTV, and when he first appeared on CCTV, he held the microphone of the "Young Singer Competition", and his typhoon humor was impeccable in both the lively atmosphere and the mannerisms.
Later, in the "Happy Dictionary" co-hosted with Wang Xiaoya, he played his due level and was deeply liked by the people of the whole country.
However, just when everyone lamented that he was a "talented woman" to Wang Xiaoya, what everyone didn't know was that Li Jiaming had already had an extremely low self-esteem.
During the period of business with Wang Xiaoya, he fully felt the pressure from the "first sister of CCTV", and the strong knowledge reserve and professionalism made him feel unreachable.
In short, he feels that he still has a long way to go with professional hosting, and he understands where his flaws are, so he works harder than usual and never dares to stop moving forward.
In the three years since he entered CCTV, Li Jiaming has completed the perfect counterattack from the original "miscellaneous" to "CCTV iron mouth", and even his achievements have surpassed those of the old-timers, and some people have predicted that he may be a candidate for "CCTV First Brother".
But a friend's words made him abandon all the glory in China, abandon his wife and children and go to the United States.
"If you want to go further, then you should study abroad! Study in the United States, the kingdom of television, and go to New York, the cultural eye of the United States, where you will find Columbia University, the most influential university in the field of media. ”
This person is Xu Xiaoping, the co-founder of New Oriental, and it is precisely because of this sentence that Li Jiaming's heart is deeply pierced.
He didn't hesitate, regardless of his wife's retention, even his daughter couldn't keep his heart, he went for two years, two years seemed fleeting, but when he returned to China, everything was already wrong.
In 2008, when an unprecedented earthquake struck Wenchuan, Li Jiaming hurriedly bought a ticket home, but fortunately, his family was safe.
However, when he stepped into CCTV again, an embarrassing situation occurred, and the appearance of newcomers Nigmat and Sa Beining had completely replaced him, and his previous efforts were all cleared.
started his career from scratch, and his relationship was no exception, and his going abroad that year caused his wife and daughter to be estranged from him.
Although he was full of apologies, the good thing was that he could spend the rest of his life making up for it.
●○Epilogue○●
Today's Li Jiaming did not rely on his status as "overseas gilding" to raise his value, but is more life-oriented.
The humorous style has not been given up by him, and it is precisely because of his down-to-earth hosting style that the audience still loves him after many years. Although his career has not improved greatly since returning to China, his career has come out step by step after all.
We fully believe that he is stronger now than he was before, and his years of hard work and accumulation will eventually accumulate and will once again glorify CCTV and bring more wonderful experiences to the audience.
