A few days ago, the UP owner, whose stage name is "Chen Meinan", posted a video on her personal social media account, revealing the whole process of her becoming a CCTV host at the age of 19.
At the end of 2016, Chen Meinan, who was still a sophomore in New Zealand, passed the layers of investigation and became one of the location hosts of "NBA Frontline".
"NBA Frontline" is an NBA special program jointly created by CCTV-5 Sports Channel and NBA, the program is divided into 4 parts, highlighting players, teams, exciting games of the week and historical topics. This show is the only show in the world where you can be filmed inside the team during the NBA regular season. It needs a location host who not only loves basketball, understands basketball, and can play basketball, but also needs to be fluent in Chinese and English, and Chen Meinan just meets all the requirements.
As the ceiling of domestic media, China Central Radio and Television Station, even the selection of a location host is very strict.
As for how he became the location host of CCTV's "NBA Frontline", Chen Meinan first made a joke - go through the back door!
After the joke, she seriously introduced the ins and outs of the whole thing.
At the beginning, the program team thought she was an employee of Hupu, and asked Hupu for someone, Hupu looked confused, but fortunately, an employee of Hupu had Chen Meinan's contact information and provided it to the program team, and after such twists and turns, there was a 19-year-old CCTV host behind.
Good things are inevitably grinding, and hard work never pays off. Although Chen Meinan is a hotel management major, she likes sneakers, so she asked a friend to introduce her to a well-known sneaker store as a part-time salesperson, and in the sales process, she continued to accumulate knowledge of basketball.
In addition, she also wants to be a person in the spotlight, so she actively participates in various activities, such as the "Girl in Autumn Clothes" competition held by Hupu.
If, without the accumulation of these days, even if the opportunity for CCTV to recruit location hosts is in front of her, how can she seize it?
There is no opening in life, there are just unremitting efforts and years of accumulation, once there is a proper opportunity, you can accumulate and make a blockbuster.
Success is never accidental, it is the best reward for one's perseverance, wisdom and hard work.
May you and I encourage each other.
