Cao Ying's biggest dream since she was a child is to be a star. At the age of 13, she appeared on the stage of the CCTV Spring Festival Gala for the first time, and she was an actor in the group dance, but even if she just danced a few times, she was so happy that she couldn't close her mouth.
This is like the first broken finger she grabbed to the stars, and it was the beginning of her acting career.
Cao Ying graduated from a vocational high school with a bachelor's degree, majoring in makeup and beauty Xi. Of course, she thought she would become a makeup artist in the future. At that time, she was ignorant and ignorant, not knowing that God destined her to have no chance with makeup.
Just as she was on her way to a crew to put on makeup for an actor, her appearance made a staff member mistake her for a new extra. Under the strong recommendation of the eldest sister, the director gave Cao Ying a chance to play tricks.
It was then that she began to taste the sweetness of acting.
At the age of 19, Cao Ying played a small role in Jackie Chan's blockbuster "Drunken Fist 2". Although there are few scenes, she is already excited to compete with those superstars on the same stage.
After a play, she became more and more determined to enter the entertainment industry. Later, under the introduction of a friend, she began to have the opportunity to make guest appearances in some TV variety shows. Her humor quickly caught the attention of the boss in the station.
In this way, Cao Ying embarked on the road of host and found a place in CCTV.
During her time at CCTV, Cao Ying hosted many popular programs and starred in many TV series with explosive ratings. She suddenly became a popular female anchor and actress, favored by advertisers, and endorsed one after another.
With her career in full swing, she began to think about the bigger goal of her life, so she resolutely decided to leave CCTV and move to the broader world of the entertainment industry. Cao Ying is like a meteor gradually rising into the sky, CCTV gave her the initial escape speed, and then she successfully landed on Mango TV and online platforms, continued to shine, and achieved a new peak of crowning.
Yang Tongshu's real name is Yang Liu, and she was admitted to the provincial key art college with the first place in high school, majoring in broadcasting and hosting. During her college years, she was like a small tree that found the right direction and grew rapidly, learning Xi professional courses while accumulating hosting experience in TV stations and variety shows inside and outside the school.
At the same time, with her good appearance, she also played the main role in several campus TV series.
In her sophomore year, she began to host evening life information programs on local stations. At first, facing the camera and the audience, she was still a little restrained. But with the help of teachers and colleagues, Yang Tongshu quickly found his state, and he hosted easily and smoothly, which was quite popular with the local audience.
When she was in the third grade, she was already one of the hottest female anchors in the station.
In 2000, Yang Tongshu, who had just graduated, joined CCTV as the host of a cultural information program. Here, she met many industry leaders and her vision was also eye-opening.
In 2003, she starred in the high-resolution historical drama "Taiping Heavenly Kingdom", successfully creating a three-dimensional female character, and became famous in one fell swoop and gained many fans.
Since then, her popularity has skyrocketed. In the year when his career was thriving, Yang Tongshu resolutely decided to leave CCTV and move towards a broader film and television industry.
It can be said that CCTV gave Yang Tongshu the opportunity to show herself, and she successfully accumulated contacts and popularity here. When she has enough chips, she decisively puts aside this stable job and pursues a bigger dream in the entertainment industry.
From an ordinary student to a female anchor of provincial Taiwan; and then to the well-known host of CCTV; finally reached the apex of the film and television industry. This is Yang Tongshu's process of refining himself for more than ten years.
Every time I fly, I gradually accelerate and jump at a good starting point of CCTV.
Zhao Ziqi is a rising star in the media industry. At the age of 18, she was admitted to the broadcasting and hosting major of Communication University of China with the first place, and was the only outstanding student in the province who obtained the admission qualification for this major.
During her time at the university, she hosted many important events on campus and became famous. From an ordinary freshman to a sophomore who began to enter CCTV as a program host, Zhao Ziqi's rapid growth made many classmates sigh to themselves.
After graduating from university, Zhao Ziqi officially joined the CCTV host team and became a cutting-edge first-line female anchor. From hosting life information programs at the beginning, to focusing on the entertainment section later, she can be at ease.
During that time, Zhao Ziqi was simply a popular fried chicken in the media circle. When she was only 25 years old, she made her debut as a host at the CCTV Spring Festival Gala. This is undoubtedly the highest honor for every broadcast host.
At that moment, Zhao Ziqi may never have imagined that the trough after the peak of the media circle would come so quickly. In 2005, when her career was in full swing, she suddenly announced that she would leave CCTV, sign a contract with a film and television entertainment company, and officially transform into an actress.
The first film they collaborated on turned out to be a romantic literary film directed by Zhao Baogang. However, the good times did not last long, except for the fame of her first work, her later film and television works were disappointing at the box office and word of mouth.
Since then, Zhao Ziqi has gradually drifted away, and there is no longer a brilliant halo in the past.
Maybe she still can't believe how hasty she made the decision to leave CCTV back then. From the highest popularity to the decline, the ups and downs she has experienced have discouraged all hosts who are still young in their lives.
But there is no if in life, after falling into the trough, there is no way back.
When Gong Zheng was in college, his Xi major had nothing to do with acting. He studied in a financial college, and after graduation, in addition to working as a host for a short time on a local TV station, he hopes to develop his career as a singer.
In order to worship his son and enter the industry, Gong Zheng came to Beijing City, where eyes and opportunities coexist.
He just turned 21 years old, and by chance, he entered CCTV as the host of cultural information programs. Although he is well versed in finance and economics, he knows nothing about culture and art.
The rush at the beginning of the work made him struggle to prepare for the show. Fortunately, he was diligent and eager to learn, and he was soon able to take on this new job.
But when he was finally able to easily control and integrate into this circle of self-proclaimed cultural people, the station revised and adjusted the show. The model that focuses on serious culture is replaced by entertaining content.
Gong Zheng had a hard time adapting to this over-commercialized change, and it was at this time that he resolutely chose to resign, determined to break out of the music world.
However, the singer's path was not smooth. Gong Zheng found a lot of entertainment companies, but he always encountered Waterloo at the last step. After several hopes were dashed, he had no choice but to try to become an actor.
At first, he had a hard time even picking up an audition. Because of his single appearance, he has been trapped in the role framework of Xiao Xianrou. Later, after many tricks with insufficient roles, Gong Zheng finally decided to formally learn Xi acting courses, which gradually opened up the situation of his career.
He first played supporting roles in several CCTV dramas, and gradually became well-known to the audience. Later, he began to challenge the role of the villain in some commercial films. From a singer who doesn't know anything about acting, to a powerful actor who can play various types of roles, Gong Zheng spent ten years counterattacking this not easy road.
The starting point may be simple, but it is far from easy to gain a foothold in the film and television industry. Fortunately, he did not give up, and finally relied on his own efforts to enter the palace of acting.
Wen Qing is a strong woman in the media industry. She majored in broadcasting and hosting in college, and after graduation, she entered CCTV with the first place. In the beginning, she was only in charge of a regular morning news show.
But soon with her professionalism and solid broadcasting skills, Wen Qing rose to prominence in the station and became a well-known female anchor in only one year.
At the age of 25, Wen Qing was assigned the responsibility of host of the Spring Festival Gala, which also made her the youngest host of the New Year's Eve party at that time. Since then, Wenqing seems to have become popular overnight.
Not only does she host many heavyweight programs on CCTV, but she can often be seen dressed up at galas and events in various places. Those years can be said to be the peak of her hosting career, and her work occupies almost all of Wenqing's life.
However, shortly after New Year's Day in 2005, Wen Qing asked CCTV for a long vacation. Everyone thought it was just a normal personal break. No one thought that it was from this time that Wen Qing began to fade out of the hosting world.
Half a year later, she officially announced to the outside world that she would quit CCTV and signed an actor contract with a film and television company, preparing to change careers to become an actor.
This decision is undoubtedly a shocking bomb, and everyone speculates that Wen Qing may have chosen to leave this iron job because of a bottleneck in his income or personal development.
To everyone's surprise, Wenqing's first drama turned out to be a costume romance drama with the popular student Luo Haiqiong. However, this excellent start did not ultimately lay the foundation for her in the film and television industry.
With the exception of her first work, her other works have received a mere response. Gradually, Wen Qing faded out of the public eye and became a passerby in this industry.
It wasn't until 5 years later that she picked up the job of hosting again and hosted a life information program on Hunan Satellite TV. But she never managed to achieve what she had done before. Thinking about it now, Wen Qing must have regretted the decision he made back then.
The failed transformation from the first host to the daughter of film and television is undoubtedly a suffocating retirement. Presumably, she still can't let go of the top career at the beginning, and was finally given away by her own hands.
These five actresses who jumped from CCTV to the entertainment industry have more or less benefited from CCTV, the cornerstone of promoting stardom. CCTV has not only cultivated countless excellent hosts, but also built a spring breeze bridge for some actresses from anchors to stars.
Cao Ying and Yang Tongshu are examples of successful crossovers. The former has dreamed of being an actor since he was a child, and he became a blockbuster at the age of 13; The latter was admitted to the art school at the age of 18 with the first place, and his performance was deeply loved by teachers during college.
The two grew up in very different environments, and the only thing they have in common is that they have both found a place in CCTV.
Cao Ying can be said to be the descendant of the goddess of opportunity, and almost every progress she makes happens by chance. But behind the accident, she also needs strength as support, otherwise how could every accident happen to her alone.
Yang Tongshu is more like a self-taught Xi personality, since high school, she has planned to accumulate little by little through her own efforts until her career explodes.
What is the common secret of their success? First of all, they are full of interest and enthusiasm in the performing arts, which can stimulate their motivation to persevere in learning and Xi growth; Secondly, and more importantly, the two have never rested on their laurels, constantly expanding their horizons and improving their acting skills.
It is precisely because they accurately grasped the opportunity at the right time and took off from the starting point of CCTV to the broader sky, so they can continue to develop and grow in the entertainment industry.
In contrast, the experience of Zhao Ziqi and Wen Qing is not so enviable. Both of them also graduated from major universities, and their majors are directly related to their jobs. Zhao Ziqi has even been a host of CCTV since his sophomore year, and his language organization skills and camera sense far exceed those of his peers.
Wen Qing is also the dominant female anchor in many important programs and the 5th Spring Festival Gala.
But when the two also quit CCTV at the peak of their careers, the road to transformation was very bumpy. Whether it is an actor or a host, it is difficult for them to regain their former glory.
Analyzing this reason, it is not so much that they chose the wrong direction, but more about the error in their judgment of their own positioning and ability.
Zhao Ziqi's achievements in the hosting industry have been considerable, and there is no need to leave the comfort zone to try to break through. Wen Qing is a typical heavy workaholic, who spends almost all his time on his career and neglects other life.
In fact, quitting at the height of popularity may not necessarily be able to get a bigger stage. So from the two of them, we also learned the negative lesson of jumping out of the comfort zone.
As for Gong Zheng, the difference is that he has never stayed at CCTV, and it is just a small test of his other career. The singer-turned-actor in the film and television industry is most touched by the spirit of perseverance.
After all, from a small supporting role in CCTV to a leading actor who can take the lead alone, he has also walked a winding and rugged road for more than ten years in the middle.
Therefore, these five people can be said to be the epitome of the different fates of the media and entertainment circles. It doesn't make much sense, but it offers a lot to think about. For all the female anchors and actresses who are at the top of the edifice of the waterway of life, you must carefully control your pace.
Not all birds of prey are reborn like a phoenix, and some people will find it difficult to get back up once they fly too high.
Therefore, when a decision involves too many fates and resources, it needs to be thoughtful and must be cautious. After all, everyone doesn't have an unlimited chance to get back on the back gun.
Especially when your career is still on the rise, you must not easily interrupt your rhythm. Perhaps, if you stick to the same path, you will be able to reach a higher peak.
So, for all the hosts and actors whose life values are relatively young, you must not take it lightly when your career is still in its infancy. Even if there are a lot of people around you who inspire you to try something new, leave your comfort zone to break new ground.
But deep down, you have to tell yourself to be strong-willed and determined. Because, the real opportunity often comes very hidden, and when you finally seize it, the obsession in your heart is the only true pole that determines success or failure.
