Preface
Zhang Lei, an excellent and beautiful hostess. But such a beautiful person will be labeled as "married to a rich old man" and "has had four marriages".
As a result, everyone's first reaction when they mention Zhang Lei is not how good she is, nor how good-looking she is. Rather, her husband is a seventy-year-old rich man, a woman who once owned four husbands worth billions.
gradually became a money worshipper who was spurned by people, and her hosting work on CCTV was also said to have been obtained by relying on the financier behind her. But is this really true? What is the truth? Why is Zhang Lei labeled so malicious?
Married to a seventy-year-old billionaire?
"Gossip" has been in people's nature since ancient times. What's more, in such a big dye vat as the entertainment industry, the news that "the husband of Zhang Lei, who is suspected to be the host of CCTV, is actually a seventy-year-old man?", immediately attracted the attention of a large number of netizens. Netizens have different opinions, and they all say it vividly, as if this news is no longer "suspected" but "true".
As the party concerned, Zhang Lei once told netizens that her husband is just an ordinary person, not very rich as rumored, and very old. But most netizens didn't buy it, and stubbornly thought that Zhang Lei was a woman who worshiped money.
Later, Zhang Lei seemed to understand the psychology of netizens, so she no longer tried to make those netizens believe what she said. Because she knows that she can never wake up a person who is pretending to be asleep, and some people are only willing to believe what they want to believe.
However, on April 1, Zhang Lei's birthday, she posted a heart-to-heart video, in which she was indifferent and seemed to have long forgotten those gossips.
At this time, some sober netizens began to wonder why the news of "Zhang Lei marrying a 70-year-old rich man" started? In 2006, Zhang Lei, who was only 24 years old at the time, won the championship of the CCTV host contest in one fell swoop with her excellent ability and outstanding performance.
Since then, he has become the host of many hot programs at that time. Perhaps it is precisely because the halo is too dazzling that it arouses the jealousy of those who have a heart. Some people continue to wonder whether Zhang Lei's success is real, and negative news continues to come out to criticize Zhang Lei. One of the most exaggerated is that the reason why Zhang Lei was able to gain a firm foothold on CCTV so quickly was because she was married to a seventy-year-old rich man.
What's more, a person claiming to be an insider broke the news that Zhang Lei actually has four husbands, and each husband has his own appearance. Among them, there are those who are engaged in coal mining, those who are directors, those who are small fresh meat, and those who are business tycoons. said that the voice was colorful, which made people stunned for a while, and even some netizens left messages in the comment area saying that Zhang Lei's life is really good and envious.
Failed to host the Spring Festival Gala for many years, and resigned from CCTV in a fit of anger?
On April 6, 2023, Zhang Lei announced that she would no longer work at CCTV in the future, and posted: "There will always be a new prologue in life, and there will be a new departure." It's a pity that Zhang Lei has never been on the Spring Festival Gala in the 16 years since she joined CCTV.
I think that back then, Zhang Lei entered CCTV with the first ranking by beating many contestants, but after all these years, the female host Li Sisi, who was ranked lower than her, had already hosted the Spring Festival Gala, but Zhang Lei had not been on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala for a long time.
Therefore, since she announced her resignation from CCTV, many people have speculated about the reason behind this. After all, looking at the entire hosting circle, CCTV can be described as a ceiling-level existence, how many people want to enter but can't get in, but Zhang Lei chose to leave without hesitation.
Some people speculate that it was because Zhang Lei's previous large number of negative news smeared CCTV and pushed CCTV to the forefront of careless employment, so CCTV gave Zhang Lei the opportunity to leave CCTV on his own initiative.
Some people linked the rumors that Zhang Lei was "put on the cold bench" before, speculating that Zhang Lei had been unable to participate in the Spring Festival Gala stage, so she was forced to leave CCTV. The more neutral guess is that Zhang Lei has passed the age of not being confused, perhaps because she wants to try new ideas and set off to find a new self, so she chose to leave CCTV.
In fact, Zhang Lei later answered positively about the real reason for leaving CCTV, she said: "I personally feel that I have encountered a bottleneck in my career development at CCTV. In order to gain new space and challenges, I resolutely chose to leave. Finally, Zhang Lei herself also said that CCTV has a great nurturing grace to her, for which she feels sincerely grateful.
In fact, Zhang Lei's answer is similar to the third guess of netizens, Zhang Lei left CCTV not because of CCTV's persecution and her own helplessness. Just because everyone will have different degrees of pursuit at different ages, at any time, we can choose to start again.
After leaving CCTV, he was said to be an "outdated host"?
After leaving CCTV, Zhang Lei suddenly paid more attention to her than before, and everyone was curious about what Zhang Lei would become after leaving CCTV. And Zhang Lei herself is obviously very aware of this, if there is any mistake in her work, or if she does not usher in new opportunities but enters a trough period after leaving CCTV, then these will be criticized. It is gratifying that after Zhang Lei left CCTV, she is still very good, and it can be said that she has embarked on a new path of development and has lived up to those who have always supported her.
After leaving CCTV, she opened her own account on social platforms, through which more people got to know Zhang Lei, and also attracted a large number of loyal fans. Judging from this trend, Zhang Lei is not only not out of breath, but also has a rhythm that is getting hotter and hotter.
In addition to social platforms, Zhang Lei also maintains appropriate exposure on stages such as concerts and variety shows. At the same time, she also reached a cooperation agreement with Hebei Satellite TV and served as a special guest host of many programs of Hebei Satellite TV. Perhaps in the eyes of outsiders, these platforms are far inferior to CCTV, but for Zhang Lei, this is a new opportunity to develop herself.
It really takes a lot of courage and strength to throw away all the aura of the past and start from scratch. In terms of Zhang Lei's strength, as long as she continues to work hard, even if she leaves CCTV, she can still continue to shine on the new platform and achieve a better version of herself.
epilogue
From standing out in the hosting competition and entering CCTV, to rumors and different opinions, to later choosing to leave CCTV in order to meet new challenges and opportunities, and finally meeting a new self on a new platform.
Throughout the process, Zhang Lei is independent, confident and beautiful. She never flinched in the face of netizens' doubts, she was never cowardly in the face of the bottleneck of life, she was brave and sharp, positive and enterprising.
In a short and long life, most of us live in the evaluation of others, we are afraid of making wrong choices, afraid of other people's evaluation, afraid that we are not good in the eyes of others, but we forget this life, we ourselves are the protagonists of life, we should be like Zhang Lei, independent, confident, brave, indifferent and sharp.
