He is the first "idol" male host of CCTV, not only with a dignified appearance, but also with extraordinary strength.
He was once as famous as Zhao Zhongxiang, leaving a beautiful talk of "Lao Zhao in the north and Xiao Cheng in the south".
This person is Cheng Qian.
After many years of absence, Cheng Qian returned to the public eye with a live broadcast program "Cheng Qian Qi Hou".
Cheng Qian in the live broadcast room looks the same as a few decades ago at first glance, the same politeness and the same gentleness. People can't help but sigh that even time loves him so much.
Looking at the familiar figure and listening to the familiar voice, netizens were in a trance:
Why are you still so young!
It was instantly warmed, and my eyes moistened.
Hello teacher, I was still a kid when I watched your show!
Many viewers recalled in the barrage one after another the programs hosted by Mr. Cheng Qian back then-"Happy Story", "The End of the World", "Spring Festival Gala", ......
Of course, the most memorable is "Zhengda Variety Show".
In line with the expectations of netizens, the show immediately sent a wave of memory killing. The former old partners Ni Ping and Wang Xuechun rushed to the live broadcast room one after another to help Cheng Qian.
Looking at the picture of three people sitting together, the audience was moved to swipe the screen: "I instantly returned to my childhood." ”
There are also many netizens who are curious: After leaving CCTV for nearly 30 years, what is Teacher Cheng Qian busy with now?
Looking back, the experience of the past few years may have been much more tortuous than we imagined.
At the age of 34, Cheng Qian divorced and resigned, and changed careers to become an actor at the peak of his career; After many years of ups and downs in the entertainment industry, he tried to be a producer and director.
Behind every seemingly impulsive choice, there are unknown pains.
Fortunately, the years are merciful, and now 27 years have passed, Cheng Qian's career has stabilized, and he has married and had children again, and has a happy and warm family of three.
For Cheng Qian, the detours and hurdles encountered have already turned the page. Seeing the old audience again, the thousand words in his heart were condensed into just 3 words: "It's been a long time." ”
It's a blessing to meet again.
The first hurdle in Cheng Qian's life appeared in childhood.
In the memory of Cheng Qian when he was a child, his father was the second oldest in the family, and he was the only son of this generation.
It wasn't until he was 14 years old that he learned from the whispers of his classmates: It turned out that his parents who had been shouting for so many years were actually his second uncle and second aunt, and his biological father was actually Cheng Zhi, the third eldest in the Cheng family.
Cheng Zhi is a well-known actor who once played the role of "Elder Jinchi" in the 86 version of "Journey to the West".
Cheng Qian is Cheng Zhi's second child, and there is an older sister above. After Cheng Qian was born, the second child of the Cheng family, who had no children for many years, was very envious, and Cheng Zhi himself felt that raising children was stressful, so the two families discussed and passed Cheng Qian to the second family.
For the sake of the child's growth, the two families agreed to hide this matter from Cheng Qian until he was 20 years old. didn't expect that the paper couldn't hold the fire, and in the face of Cheng Qian's questioning, the parents could only tell the truth and the truth.
After the truth was exposed, Cheng Qian did not make a big fuss as his family imagined, he just calmly accepted the reality and did not even change his words.
Because Cheng Qian knew that the second uncle and aunt had always treated themselves as their own sons, and for so many years, he was also used to calling his biological parents three fathers and three mothers.
But in the dark, his biological father's identity as an actor planted the seeds of his dream in Cheng Qian's heart.
After graduating from school, Cheng Qian, in order to reassure his family, found an iron rice bowl in the factory early, and worked as a fitter and stevedore.
But the longer these mechanical tasks are done, the stronger the power in Cheng Qian's heart to change and rush to break free.
At that time, Cheng Qian wanted to be an actor like his biological father. So, he resigned despite the opposition of his family and began to go to major crews to play tricks.
It didn't take long for Cheng Qian to be admitted to the local repertory troupe with his outstanding appearance and rare talent.
That year, Guangzhou happened to select the host of the popular law program "Public Security" on a large scale. Cheng Qian thought that he could show his face on the TV station, so he seized the opportunity and went to Guangzhou for an interview alone.
When participating in the host interview, Cheng Qian showed extraordinary talent.
He is good-looking, articulate, humble and polite, the key is that he is not afraid at all when facing the camera and the judges, his mentality is very stable, and his brain turns quickly.
These traits perfectly fit the basic conditions and on-the-spot adaptability required by the host, and Cheng Qian successfully passed the interview.
In 1986, Cheng Qian, who had accumulated a lot of experience, was transferred to Guangzhou to host the TV station's celebration party. The following year, he became a regular employee of Guangdong TV Station, and the unit also assigned him a 12-square-meter house with complete tables and chairs.
While his career is advancing steadily, Cheng Qian's feelings have also ushered in spring. At a Mid-Autumn Festival party, Cheng Qian, who was a guest host, met singer Wang Yue.
Back then, Wang Yue became popular with the song "A Good Jasmine", and he was well-known in the circle. Cheng Qian chatted very speculatively with her as soon as they met, and after finding that the residence was not far away, he often made an appointment to come out to play.
Lang had the intention of having a concubine, and the two tacitly approached each other, and it didn't take long to confirm their relationship.
In 1988, Cheng Qian's career stepped onto a new level. He signed up for the host competition held by CCTV, and played well in each stage, winning the title of "National Top Ten TV Hosts" in one fell swoop, and gained a firm foothold in the circle.
At that time, Mr. Zhao Zhongxiang was already a senior senior in the hosting industry. Some people praised the momentum of the waves before and after Cheng, and there was a saying that "there is Lao Zhao in the north and Xiao Cheng in the south".
After working silently for 4 years, Cheng Qian was seconded to CCTV to host the program "The End of the World", which officially knocked on the door of CCTV.
At the same time, Wang Yue's career as a singer was not going well, and no good works came out for many years. But the relationship between the two was very stable back then, and after Cheng Qian was transferred to CCTV, he and Wang Yue got the certificate.
However, at that time, the two did not have much savings, not only did they not have a wedding, but they didn't even take wedding photos. This incident later became Wang Yue's heart knot.
In 1994, Cheng's former partner Ni Ping appeared at the Spring Festival Gala, and with his excellent eloquence and handsome appearance, he gained countless fans overnight.
Soon, Cheng Qian's fame became even greater, and everyone in Taiwan praised him as the successor of Teacher Zhao Zhongxiang, and even Teacher Zhao was full of praise for Cheng Qian.
Ni Ping recalled during the live broadcast that Mr. Zhao always said: "Your skills are not as good as Cheng Qian." ”
After the Spring Festival Gala became popular, in order to maintain his unique "idol personality" in the hosting industry, Cheng Qian was used to hiding the fact that he was married, and always claimed to be single.
Wang Yue felt dissatisfied because of this, and asked many times before the process in person, Cheng Qian said that it was for career development considerations, and there was no second heart.
But she didn't want to be a disgraceful wife, so she divorced Cheng Qian.
In 1997, the two parted ways.
In 1997, Cheng Qian's biological father Cheng Zhi died. The thing that Cheng Qian regretted the most was that he never called him "Dad" from beginning to end.
At his biological father's funeral, Cheng Qian leaned in his father's ear and choked up and shouted "Dad", but the other party could no longer hear it.
Before Cheng Qian came out of the grief of his biological father's death, the news of his adoptive father's cancer came from his hometown.
Cheng Qian didn't want to leave any more regrets, and began to raise money for his adoptive father's treatment. It's a pity that the illness is difficult, and after a year of hard treatment, the adoptive father still passed away.
The pain of bidding farewell to loved ones twice made Cheng Qian slump. But considering that his adoptive mother was left with only one child of his own, he had to be strong again.
Cheng Qian's adoptive mother
That year, Cheng Qian took out all his savings and bought a house for his adoptive mother in Beijing for the elderly, and thus took on a debt of more than 300,000 yuan.
In order to repay his debts, he could only host while taking on the scene in the outside crew to earn extra money, which quickly caused dissatisfaction among colleagues and leaders.
In order to repay the loan as soon as possible, Cheng Qian resigned from CCTV's job after weighing the two sides.
In 1999, after leaving his job, Cheng Qian received an invitation from Shanghai TV to host a unique entertainment program "Happy Story".
This show has accompanied the growth of a generation and has also laid a good fan base for Cheng Qian. Since then, Cheng Qian has firmly developed into the entertainment industry.
In 2001, Cheng Qian starred as the first actor in his life in "With You" directed by Chen Kaige.
In the next few years, Cheng Qian had to give up the hosting industry due to debt pressure and fully transformed into an actor.
But the works he filmed constantly and frantically took over the scenes were uneven in quality.
4 years later, Cheng Qian paid off his debts, but sadly found that his acting career had hardly improved.
Unexpectedly, when he was discouraged, he bottomed out and generally ushered in a small peak in his acting career.
In 2008, Cheng Qian's TV series "Dongfang Shuo", in which he played the leading role, was broadcast, with a high reputation and praise. Later, many viewers relied on this role to remember Cheng Qian as an actor.
In the next seven or eight years, Cheng Qian made a lot of TV series and movies intermittently, but most of the supporting roles were there, and there was no breakthrough.
However, Cheng Qian's dedication is not as strong as when he was young.
Outside of work, he spends most of his life with his adoptive mother. For him, filial piety can make him feel at ease and satisfied more than achieving fame.
But what made the adoptive mother a headache was that Cheng Qian only cared about accompanying her, but her personal feelings were delayed again and again.
At that time, Cheng Qian felt that his previous relationship was a failure, so he didn't want to rush into marriage again, for fear of misleading others and himself.
However, fate always comes unexpectedly.
In 2013, Cheng Qian met Zhu Rui. Zhu Rui is an outsider, 20 years younger than him, but he is very mature and considerate.
At the age of 50, Cheng Qian married Zhu Rui, and a year later the two had a son.
His wife and son let Cheng Qian experience the joy and vitality of life again. Before getting the nourishment of the family, I had the motivation to work hard again.
He wants to give his wife a better life and also wants to be a good example for his son.
In 2017, Cheng Qian changed his career to produce and launched the period drama "Smoke and Rain and Weishui", which was later renamed "Foundry", which will be broadcast on CCTV in 2021.
Today, Cheng Qian has passed the year of sixtieth year, but he is still eager to try in new fields and strive to keep up with the pace of the times.
The profile of Cheng Qian's personal account is as sincere and humble as he is. Savor the plain and gentle word by word, there is a feeling of "the light boat has passed the ten thousand mountains".
This time I chatted live on Douyin, and Cheng Qian was still a little uncomfortable.
Although it seems to have picked up the old business of hosting, the platform has changed, the form has changed, looking at the dazzling barrage on the screen, Cheng Qian couldn't keep up with the rhythm of netizens' questions at all.
But once he was born and twice matured, looking at the vast number of netizens who have been missing him, Cheng Qian was as energetic as when he was young.
Looking at his serious reply to netizens, I couldn't help but sigh in my heart: It turns out that a young man's heart is more rare and valuable than a young man.
The 61-year-old Cheng Qian is still curious about this rapidly developing era and full of expectations for the future.
Life has been up and down for many years, and Cheng Qian finally understood this truth: people's hearts are not old, and it is never too late to set off again.
