With the resignation and retirement of the older generation of CCTV hosts, in recent years, more and more young hosts have emerged from CCTV.
Compared with the older generation of hosts, although these fresh faces are still very young, their hosting skills and abilities are not bad, and they can basically take charge of themselves, and the famous host Zhang Tao from Sichuan is one of them.
As a host who is now active on the CCTV stage, although Zhang Tao is not as famous as Kang Hui, Sa Beining, Nigmaiti and others, his work ability is not bad, and his hosting strength is also remarkable.
He entered CCTV at the age of 30, and at the age of 34, he appeared on the stage of the CCTV Spring Festival Gala and became a well-known CCTV host.
What many people don't know is that Zhang Tao, who was born in an ordinary family in Sichuan, has really put in too much effort from entering the hosting industry, to appearing on the stage of CCTV, and then to hosting the CCTV Spring Festival Gala......
One
Born in 1987 in Ziyang, Sichuan, Zhang Tao grew up in an ordinary family in Anyue County, Ziyang City, to working-class parents.
Zhang Tao's grandfather was a volunteer soldier, and when he was young, he was deaf in both ears because of fighting on the battlefield, and his hearing was not particularly good, so that Zhang Tao had to shout every time he talked to his grandfather.
Zhang Tao, who was deeply shocked by his grandfather's life experience, has regarded his grandfather as his idol since he was a child, and because of his grandfather, he is full of respect for soldiers and has special feelings.
Zhang Tao, who grew up sunny and handsome, liked art very much when he was a child, and his artistic talent was particularly high, and when he was in the fourth or fifth grade of primary school, he was also selected by a teacher in an art school because of his super high talent, and he was selected to learn dance.
With the support of his parents, Zhang Tao practiced dancing for a long time when he was a child, and his dance foundation and skills are very good.
After entering middle school, he often participated in the school's evening party, and once, he performed the dance "Into the New Era" in the party, which was applauded and recognized by countless teachers and students.
However, although Zhang Tao's dancing talent is very good, he did not choose to take the road of dance, but embarked on the road of broadcasting and hosting.
When he was in high school, Zhang Tao, who had a particularly good literary foundation, was often arranged to help the school write various awards and certificates because of his very beautiful handwriting.
During this period, under the inspiration and guidance of a teacher, he came into contact with the broadcasting host, and he was deeply attracted by the art of broadcasting and hosting, and the more he understood this art, the more fascinated he became with this art.
He began to frequently preside over classes or school literary and artistic activities, evening parties, etc., and in the process of continuous practice, he became more and more fond of this art.
In order to realize his dream of hosting, after graduating from middle school, Zhang Tao, who had excellent grades, gave up other opportunities and embarked on his dream journey without hesitation.
Two
In 2006, Zhang Tao was admitted to Sichuan Film and Television Institute, where he studied broadcasting and hosting arts.
Unlike many students who are dedicated to their studies, Zhang Tao often participates in activities inside and outside the school in addition to studying, and improves his hosting ability through various stages.
In 2010, before Zhang Tao graduated from university, Chongqing TV came to the Sichuan Film and Television Institute where he studied for recruitment.
With the spirit of the newborn calf is not afraid of tigers, Zhang Tao participated in the selection, with a solid foundation, rich practical experience, and sunny and handsome appearance, he successfully passed the selection and entered the Chongqing TV intern.
During his internship at Chongqing TV Station, Zhang Tao worked diligently and completed all the work assigned by the TV station leaders, and with his efforts, he successfully gained a firm foothold in the TV station.
After graduating from university, Zhang Tao, who performed particularly well in Chongqing TV, got the opportunity to stay in the TV station and became the host of the TV station.
After becoming the host of Chongqing TV, Zhang Tao worked more hard to develop his career, and with his efforts, he successively hosted many excellent programs.
Three
Since 2011, Zhang Tao, who has been favored by Chongqing TV, has successively hosted the TV's "News Speed", "First Real Estate", "Financial One Information" and other programs.
Unlike many hosts in everyone's impression, Zhang Tao hosted these broadcast programs at that time, which gave people a solemn and serious feeling, and the response to these programs was not bad after they were broadcast.
After several years of hard work, with many programs, Zhang Tao successfully stabilized in Chongqing TV and became one of the popular hosts of the TV station.
At that time, although he was not too well-known in other places, he was deeply loved by the audience in the local area, and he can be said to be a popular host in Sichuan and Chongqing.
It stands to reason that with such a stable career and close to home, Zhang Tao should be content with the state he was in at that time, but he didn't.
After his career stabilized, in the face of the work that began again and again every day, Zhang Tao gradually became not satisfied with such development, and he was eager to stand on a bigger stage.
If you want to stand on a bigger stage and be accepted by more audiences, the first thing to do is to improve your ability and level, for this reason, Zhang Tao, who has been away from campus for many years, decided to return to campus for further study.
In 2015, Zhang Tao put his career on hold and was admitted to the Communication University of China for graduate studies to continue to improve himself.
Although Zhang Tao was admitted to the graduate school of Zhongchuan at that time, he did not give up his career for the sake of his studies, and was still active on the stage of Chongqing TV.
In order to balance study and work, he often ran at both ends at that time, and was very busy every day, but he was not delayed in study and work, especially in work, Zhang Tao, who completed the work very well, also won the honors of excellent program host and outstanding employee of Chongqing TV in 2015 and 2016!
At that time, the leaders of Chongqing TV station hoped that Zhang Tao would return to Chongqing TV after grad school, and even Zhang Tao himself felt that he would continue to stay in Chongqing TV for a transition, but the plan could never catch up with the changes.
Four
In 2017, CCTV Chinese International Channel recruited new hosts, in order to select more outstanding young hosts, this time CCTV relaxed the conditions and recruited new hosts from all over the country.
At that time, Zhang Tao had not graduated from Zhongchuan, and after learning the news, considering that the distance was so close, even if he didn't get an interview, there was nothing to lose by giving it a try, so Zhang Tao went to participate in the selection.
In the selection process, Zhang Tao competed with many outstanding hosts from all over the country, including some seniors who entered the industry earlier than him.
However, although the opponents were very strong, Zhang Tao still performed very well in the selection process, and with his good appearance, he finally successfully passed the selection of CCTV.
In the same year, after graduating from China Transmission, Zhang Tao resigned from Chongqing TV Station, where he had worked for many years, and left Chongqing, where he had lived for many years, to stay in Beijing for development.
After entering CCTV, because Zhang Tao is a newcomer, he was initially arranged to be the anchor of the global news and information program "China News".
His working hours are between 3 and 4 o'clock in the morning every day, and in order not to delay his work, he has to go to the TV station in advance every day to prepare, and rush home at night to rest after each day.
At that time, he reversed day and night, and his biological clock was completely reversed, but he overcame it all for the sake of work.
With Zhang Tao's efforts, he worked carefully and meticulously, and gradually gained a firm foothold in CCTV and stabilized.
Five
In the first two years of CCTV, in addition to hosting the early morning program, Zhang Tao also served as a location reporter for many programs.
For example, in programs and major reports such as "Legendary China Festival" and "Magnificent Oriental Tide, Striving for a New Era", he has served as a location reporter and lived a rainy day.
It wasn't until 2020, after nearly three years of development in CCTV and being transferred to the CCTV news channel, that Zhang Tao's career finally improved.
After entering the news channel, Zhang Tao was arranged to be the host of the classic column "News Live Room", which is a program that CCTV has attracted a lot of attention, and CCTV can arrange him to be the host, which shows how much attention is paid to him.
And Zhang Tao did not disappoint CCTV, with his super hosting skills and work ability, he hosted this show very well, and won the support and recognition of countless audiences.
Zhang Tao, who was highly praised by CCTV, in addition to hosting regular programs, he also became the host of various large-scale events and galas.
On December 31, 2020, he and Kang Hui, Dong Qing, Ren Luyu, Zhu Xun, and Nigmaiti hosted the New Year's Eve party program "Set Sail 2010 - China Central Radio and Television New Year's Eve Ceremony".
On February 11, 2021, he and Ren Luyu, Li Sisi, Nigmaiti, and Long Yang served as the host of the "2022 China Central Radio and Television Spring Festival Gala", and at the age of 34, he appeared on the stage of the CCTV Spring Festival Gala......
From entering CCTV to appearing on the stage of CCTV Spring Festival Gala, many hosts have struggled for goals that they have been unable to achieve for a lifetime, and Zhang Tao only took 4 years to complete all this.
It can be seen from his development in CCTV that although he is still very young, his work ability and strength are absolutely undoubted!
With the help of the Spring Festival Gala stage, Zhang Tao's career quickly reached a new level, and since then, his career has been developing at a rapid pace.
Six
Since 2021, Zhang Tao, who has developed his career vigorously, has successively hosted CCTV's "Morning News of the World", "CCTV Summer Song Party" and other programs.
In addition, he has also hosted CCTV's Qixi Gala, Mid-Autumn Festival Gala and other large-scale activities, as well as participated in CCTV's "Yang Young", "UP Youth" and other variety shows and special programs.
In 2024, after a lapse of three years, Zhang Tao will once again appear on the stage of the CCTV Spring Festival Gala and host the Kashgar branch venue in Xinjiang with Dilidar Xuehereti.
In addition, he also presided over large-scale events and galas such as "Sailing to the Greater Bay Area - 2024 New Year Concert" and "2024 Spring Festival Gala of Chinese Literary and Art Circles in a Hundred Flowers to Welcome Spring" in this year.
With Zhang Tao's efforts, he has developed better and better on CCTV, and has become a well-known host!
It is worth mentioning that although Zhang Tao is dedicated to his career and busy with work, he has not lived a good life because of this.
He lives seriously, and he likes to buy all kinds of daily necessities very much in his life, and he often thinks about his family and buys various items for his family.
His cousin also works in Beijing, and in his spare time, he often asks his cousin to eat the old hot pot that Sichuan people love to eat, and chats with each other about interesting things they encounter in work and life.
In the eyes of Zhang Tao's relatives, he has always been a "warm man" who loves life, is approachable, positive and easy to get along with.
However, although Zhang Tao is a warm man in the eyes of his family, he also has a little bit of what his family has always worried about, and even became his family's heart disease, which is his marriage and love problem.
Because he has been busy with his career, he has nothing to say about his appearance and temperament, and Zhang Tao, who is also very good in all aspects, has never gained much emotionally.
At first, his family didn't rush him, thinking that he should focus on his career, until he saw that he was getting older and older, but he never got married, so he began to worry, but he never started a family.
Previously, some media said that Zhang Tao had a ring on his hand, and he was suspected of having gained emotionally, but Zhang Tao did not confirm it, and it is unknown whether it was true or not, and now his emotional problems have become a mystery in the eyes of the public.
In fact, as a host, Zhang Tao can enter the development of CCTV, can appear on the stage of CCTV Spring Festival Gala, and can be recognized by so many audiences, which shows that her ability is absolutely nothing to say.
And he is only 37 years old now, he is in the golden age of a man, and his development prospects are so good, as long as he can continue to work hard without forgetting his original intention and make unremitting efforts, I believe that he will be able to achieve better results on the road of hosting in the future!
Here, I wish Zhang Tao a smooth career development, host more good programs that the audience likes, and at the same time gain something emotionally, and harvest his true happiness as soon as possible!
