On May 8, Yang Rui, a famous English host of CCTV, published a dynamic on his personal account on a social platform: Today, he officially joined Beijing Titanium Media Group as an international business partner. No longer a CCTV host, he left the tall CBD office building and came to the National New Media Entrepreneurship Park in Daxing District to start a business with young people after the 80s and 90s. Very happy! She/they don't hate my grandma ash.
At the welcome tea party held by Titanium Media Group for Yang Rui, Yang Rui said: "Leaving CCTV at this age is a very difficult decision for me, and I am always full of gratitude to CCTV in my heart. I have been in CCTV for 32 years, it can be said that all my youth, no matter where I go from CCTV, I will always remember this gratitude, and I will always be grateful for the trust and tolerance of the leaders and colleagues of the English channel. I have the privilege of witnessing the growth and expansion of China's English television international communication, and I believe that expanding international cooperation and international communication on the Internet platform of private and private enterprises can also tell the progress of civilization, especially the progress of China's commercial civilization, and the work is just as challenging and wonderful. ”
This move means that Yang Rui, who has worked in CCTV for 32 years, officially bid farewell to the unit CCTV in the system at the age of 57, and then started a business on a private Internet platform, and netizens' recent speculations about his whereabouts have finally been answered. I don't know if any viewers remember that on the evening of March 27, 2020, at the end of the current affairs interview program "Dialogue" broadcast by CGTN (China International Television) at 7:30 every night, the host Yang Rui suddenly made the closing statement of about 40 seconds?
Chinese meaning: Thanks for watching! This is the last time I'll host Dialogue. Twenty years ago, I started hosting this program that analyzes and predicts Sino-AMERICAN relations. Today, I ended my TV hosting career with reluctance and anticipation. From the Himalayas across the Pacific, the two great countries of China and the United States have survived in a harsh environment. Thank you to all my colleagues and viewers for their criticism and love for me. I'm proud of my show and thank my audience and friends for watching it. Say goodbye to Dialogue and goodbye to CGTN!
At the time, the parting statement of the host, which is rarely seen on Chinese television programs, caught the audience off guard. Many audience friends who like the cgtn "Dialogue" program and like the host Yang Rui would never have thought that he would suddenly leave the program he founded and insisted on for 20 years. Immediately about the whereabouts of Yang Rui, it caused many netizens to speculate, some people said to retreat behind the scenes, some people said to change jobs, some people said to start a business again... There are many opinions, all of which are reasonable, and they are all just speculations, and they have not received a response from Yang Rui himself.
Among them, it is believed that Yang Rui has the most netizens behind the scenes, and the possibility is also greater. Because everyone thinks that Yang Rui, who was born in 1963, according to CCTV regulations, age and energy, and state are no longer suitable for appearing on the stage to host programs, and then 3 years can retire safely in CCTV, and most people will not venture out at this time. Yang Rui chose what netizens said was the most unlikely situation to happen, and he actually left his job from CCTV, and he found his next home so quickly, and the courage to start over was really admirable.
As Yang Rui himself said, choosing to leave CCTV at this age, for anyone, entanglement, left-right trade-offs are definitely indispensable, and it is a very difficult decision. Strong people don't worry about not finding good jobs, and some people want to do what they really want to do after they have financial freedom. In recent years, the absolute advantage of traditional television media has long gone, and many famous hosts who have worked in CCTV for many years and have gained influence and fame have changed careers or started their own businesses.
Like Zhao Pu, Li Xiaomeng, Zhang Quanling, Zhang Yu, Zhou Zhou, etc., they are much younger than Yang Rui when they leave CCTV, but it is not too late for Yang Rui to choose to start over at the age of 57. Yang Rui entered CCTV in 1988, from "Focus" to "English News", hosted CGTN "Dialogue" for 20 years, and also hosted "Journey of Civilization" on the Chinese International Channel and "Art In the World" on the Variety Channel. Yang Rui's hosting style is unique, his cultural heritage is profound, and his spoken English is pure, which has won the love of many Chinese and foreign audiences.
As a loyal audience member of "Dialogue", borrowing the words of Mr. Xu Xiaoping, I congratulated Yang Rui on joining the new platform: "I wish Yang Rui banner a victory, carry forward your 20 years of global dialogue on CCTV on the titanium media platform, and create brilliance again!" ”
