Speaking of the well-known host in Shanghai, I have to mention Cao Kefan, a gentle man with a thick appearance and always a smile, who has been known as the "first host in Shanghai" for a long time.
Cao Kefan was born in Shanghai in 1963, and at the age of 24, he hosted "We College Students" on Shanghai Television, an experience that inspired his enthusiasm for the hosting industry, so that in 1991, although he obtained a master's degree from Shanghai Second Medical University (now Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine), he almost did not hesitate to "abandon medical treatment and follow the hosting".
In 1995, Cao Kefan was officially transferred to Oriental Television and began to host the "Spend a Good Time Together" column, which was elegant, kind typhoon and ultra-recognizable "wide" appearance, so that the audience quickly liked him. Two years later, Cao Kefan easily won the gold medal of "Golden Microphone" of China's top ten TV hosts.
But the real establishment of its prestige is "Ke Fan Listening", a high-end celebrity interview program based on elite culture, Cao Kefan will conduct one-on-one in-depth exchanges with famous artists in various professional art fields, after the program was broadcast, the influence is very large, and it has always ranked first in the ratings of Shanghai's cultural columns since its launch 17 years ago.
Chen Kaige, Zhang Yimou, Jackie Chan and other big names have visited, but the success of the show is mainly attributed to Cao Kefan's profound interview and excavation skills, no matter how big the coffee is, he is methodical and calm, no matter what field of guests he encounters, he can catch the topic, and dig deep with the trend, fully showing the super strong scene control and rich and profound knowledge reserves.
Once, Cao Kefan interviewed Guo Degang, who, dissatisfied with the squeeze behavior of his peers, made a very ironic self-black remark, and even said that he was "stained with copper smell", seeing that he was about to fall into the cold field, Cao Kefan not only did not panic, but also laughed, and followed Guo Degang's irony to "shy" back, "Learning is particularly hypocritical, (I) can see it." "Instantly bring the scene back to life with humor."
Due to his good tongue and fluent English, Cao Kefan also hosted the opening ceremony party of the Shanghai World Expo, the opening party of the Shanghai TV Festival, the international forum of Chinese TV hosts and other large-scale events, which made his popularity continue to increase, and even won the nickname of "the fattest Chinese host" audience.
In private, Cao Kefan has a wide range of interests, not only writing books, singing Peking Opera, painting, filming, but also being a visiting professor at Tongji University, and even fellow villager Dong Qing makes fun of him for "not doing the right thing", but it is also these experiences that have cultivated Cao Kefan's high-minded qualities and made him exude a unique bookish atmosphere.
But in many variety shows, Cao Kefan's performance is not so Sven, especially sharp.
In the host version of the "Dance Forest Conference", Cao Kefan laughed at him on the spot because of Jin Wei's expression, the scene was once very embarrassing, and another time it was even more ugly, when the host Gao Yuan said "My dance partner is also Wang Mou", Cao Kefan actually interjected, "Eliminated goods", making Gao Yuan change his face on the spot, but he still looked like a person who had nothing to do, and gushed endlessly there.
In the show "Come on! In "Good Boy", the player Zhang Dianfei was also attacked by him for no reason, and did not think that after Cao Kefan learned that Zhang Dianfei was dissatisfied, he said casually, "If you can't understand this, don't mix in this circle." At the national version of the "Dance Forest Conference", when Huang Shengyi withdrew in a negative mood, Cao Kefan jumped out and accused her of "no artistic virtue", and even said that Huang Shengyi was "not a card".
In "Mars Intelligence Bureau", Xue Zhiqian revealed that he had met a very disgusting host, who had been scolding him to hurry up, and many netizens speculated that the host was Cao Kefan.
All this has made many people criticize Cao Kefan for his "poisonous tongue". Cao Kefan did not care about this, he said, "If the direct expression is recognized as 'poisonous tongue', then I also welcome others to 'poisonous tongue' me." In his opinion, he is a more direct person, maybe not necessarily correct, but at least real.
Cao Kefan's poisonous tongue operation of doing his own thing quickly provoked his peers.
At one point, he criticized the current phenomenon of reality TV, arguing that "pouring all resources into reality SHOWs is tantamount to drinking and quenching thirst." Subsequently, this article was suspected of being forwarded in the circle of friends by the equally sharp and poisonous sister Jin Xing, who mocked Cao Kefan as "a slut, a bunch of nonsense, blind mannerisms."
Subsequently, Hua Shao, who was outspoken and fast-talking, was also exploded into the scolding war, and also forwarded, "Mr. Cao, maybe the reporter's writing failed to express your meaning, otherwise how do I feel that the whole article is permeated with a sour, rotten, rotten breath?" (Reality TV) flooding? Where does the data come from? spectator? Do you know? The show you do must represent the audience? many? Hahaha, no one please you! ”
Not long after, the show "Venus Show" was stopped, and Venus secretly ridiculed a villain on Weibo who was jealous of himself, and many people speculated that this person might be Cao Kefan.
Maybe it is too many people to offend, the network will send out some negative news of Cao Kefan from time to time, such as Cao Kefan's derailment, Cao Kefan's death, etc., although the former one is due to insufficient evidence, coupled with the wife's vigorous maintenance, it is not over, the latter one is also proved to be a rumor, but there are frequent such things, which shows that Cao Kefan's popularity is indeed not very good.
Personally, I think that Cao Kefan's poisonous tongue may still be for the effect of variety shows, and as for his criticism of reality shows, such as designing plots divorced from reality, deliberately sensationalizing, creating unnecessary dramatic conflicts, etc., it cannot be said that it is completely unreasonable. Therefore, there is no need to rise to the level of questioning his character.
In any case, as a host, Cao Kefan's ability is still obvious to all. But I still hope that he can accumulate happiness and bring better and better quality programs to everyone together with other hosts.
