In 2009, when Shen Nan was 37 years old, he mustered up the courage to leave his old club Heilongjiang TV and came to the unfamiliar Shanghai to develop. Originally, he was well-known in Heilongjiang, hosted a dating column, and later independently produced an urban entertainment show, and his work was smooth sailing.
But Shen Nan wanted a bigger stage, so he accepted an invitation from a production company in Shanghai and joined a program team called "The Voice of China". The company is optimistic about Shen Nan's ability and makes him the planner and host of this show.
For Shen Nan, this is undoubtedly a great opportunity to realize his dream. Thinking of this, Shen Nan devoted all his efforts to carefully planning this show for more than a year.
He imagined the pomp and circumstance of the first episode of the show, hoping that he would catch the attention of the national audience because of it.
However, at the moment before the broadcast, the company, which originally had high hopes for Shen Nan, suddenly notified Hua Shao to replace him as the host. Shen Nan was shocked when he heard this, he couldn't accept that his efforts were in vain.
More than a year of preparation is just meaningless idling, and the stage that I have worked so hard to build is snatched away by others. Shen Nan was very painful, but he was powerless to change this decision, so he could only watch Hua Shao quickly become popular by relying on this opportunity.
Overnight, Hua Shao became a new star, and Shen Nan suffered Waterloo.
After being robbed of the host position of "The Voice", Shen Nan ushered in a low period in Shanghai. He thought that hosting this show would make him famous, but who knew that everything would come to naught.
The company no longer paid attention to him, did not give him a new hosting job, and significantly reduced his salary. Without a stable source of income, Shen Nan's life immediately became difficult.
His monthly salary is barely enough to pay the rent, and he can't afford the rest. Gradually, Shen Nan was unable to rent a house in Shanghai, so he could only send people under the fence and live a wandering life.
Seeing this situation, his wife flew to Shanghai to accompany him without saying a word. She took out her savings to help Shen Nan tide over the difficulties. His wife's concern made Shen Nan feel warm, but the pain in his heart was even worse.
Whenever he sees the picture of Hua Shao hosting "The Voice" on TV, Shen Nan will be sad and blame himself. Hua Shao quickly became popular by relying on the stage that should have belonged to him, with a good salary, fame and fortune, and a very rich life.
And he fell to such a point in Shanghai, which he really couldn't imagine. Every time he thought of this, Shen Nan would be so sad that he couldn't sleep all night, and his wife could only stay by his side silently.
Hua Shao became famous overnight, he fell to the bottom overnight, and Shen Nan experienced the ups and downs of life, which made him emotionally devastated.
After the ups and downs in Shanghai, in 2015, Shennan ushered in new opportunities. He was photographed by Venus and became her assistant and co-host in "The Venus Show".
"The Venus Show" was a very popular talk show at the time, and Venus was known for its bold and sharp comments. Shen Nan's cooperation with her was very successful, and the two cooperated with each other to make the show a lot more colorful.
Shen Nan enlivened the atmosphere by asking questions in the show, and made himself loved by the audience. After two years of cooperation with Jin Xing, Shen Nan once again found his own stage and regained the passion of the host.
He shined in front of the camera again, and "The Venus Show" also reached its peak with his assistance, and the ratings were once comparable to "The Voice". However, just when the show was in full swing, the news of the sudden announcement of the suspension of the broadcast hit Shen Nan hard.
He once again lost the stage he had worked so hard for. After that, Shen Nan tried to make a comeback by participating in other shows, but all of them were unsuccessful, and his career fell into a trough again.
The experience of falling straight into the clouds after the smash hit of the show twice made Shen Nan feel that his life was full of helplessness and melancholy. He had twice seemed to be within reach, but in the blink of an eye, it was gone.
The rise and fall of the show directly determines his fate, and this passive feeling makes Shen Nan at a loss. Despite the pain in his heart, Shen Nan still did not give up, because hosting was his lifelong dream, and he was unwilling to let go.
In 2022, Shen Nan gave up his identity as a host and switched to the talk show industry, publishing various parody shows and joker content on the Internet. This year, it was revealed that "The Voice" had a black-box operation, which led to the suspension of the show.
Does Shen Nan still have regrets about this? It seems that he has seen it. Because of the support of his family, Shen Nan now lives a peaceful life, focuses on his family, and is no longer obsessed with success in Vanity Fair.
Looking back on the ups and downs of the past ten years, although Shen Nan missed several opportunities to take the position, he never gave up the pursuit of his dream of being a host. From Heilongjiang to Shanghai, from "The Voice" to "Venus Show", he is trying to find a stage and show his talent.
Although the results have been missed again and again, Shen Nan's persistence and perseverance are worthy of admiration. It was precisely because he refused to give up lightly that he later became a small fire in "Venus Show".
At the same time, his wife's companionship over the years has also become a solid backing for him to get out of the trough. His wife's silent support gave him the motivation to keep going. Although Shen Nan did not become a first-line star, he also found his own life.
He may not blame himself for his past regrets, because the path of life is his own choice, and the established destiny cannot be changed, the important thing is attitude. Shen Nan chose to be positive and content, which also became his internal support through the wind and waves.
Shen Nan's experience has taught us a lot. First of all, we must learn to calmly face the unsatisfactory life, the arrangement of fate can not be changed by manpower, instead of anxiety and regret, it is better to adjust the mentality and face it calmly.
Secondly, Shen Nan's experience tells us that life always has ups and downs, and we can't lose our fighting spirit because of a momentary failure. We must always maintain a positive and enterprising attitude, and only in the face of troughs and difficulties can we get back up.
Again, in Shen Nan's story, his wife accompanied him silently, which became the driving force for him to get out of the trough. People need warmth and encouragement, and family support helps us get back on our feet.
In the end, Shen Nan's experience reflects the brutal competition in the entertainment industry, but he was not defeated, but remained confident and continued to live. We also have such a sunny attitude, even if we fall, we must get up in time, the meaning of life is not to succeed, but to be able to move forward tenaciously.
The implicit revelation in Shen Nan's story is worth learning Xi, it allows us to see how to face the storms of life, and we must also be like him, bravely move forward, believing that hope is ahead.
