According to media reports,On January 16, Zhao Zhongxiang, a famous Chinese announcer, died of illness in Beijing at the age of 78. On the same morning, Zhao Zhongxiang’s son, Zhao Fang, confirmed the news through Zhao Zhongxiang’s social media account.
In 2009, Zhao Zhongxiang returned at the age of 67 to host the TV show “Dance Forest Congress”. At that time, a dialogue between “China News Weekly” and him showed the true meaning of this famous “national mouth” in China. temperament.
Conversation Zhao Zhongxiang: Some people just want to see me ugly
After the second issue of “Dance Forest Congress” was broadcast, Zhao Zhongxiang accepted an interview with China News Weekly. During the interview, Mr. Zhao answered a phone call, and he said to the phone, you have 10,000 shares in advance, and I will talk later. I never thought that Teacher Zhao’s new life after retirement was to make stocks for others. “I don’t fry myself, I don’t have time to stare at that disk. Others come to me and I help them get their ideas. Anyway, they all make money.” >
This year, after Zhao Zhongxiang officially retired from CCTV, he always behaved peacefully in TV interviews and enjoyed his life after retirement. He once said to Chen Luyu, “I walk the dog every day, and I like to eat three meals a day. The feeling of cooking and cooking yourself. ”
But he told a reporter from China News Weekly that after retirement he is busier than before and enjoys the busyness. “If the audience thinks I’m coming back as an Erhualian, they will be disappointed”
Zhengda Variety Show is the pride of Mr. Zhao. Since taking over the section in 1991, the variety show has been blank every weekend. He said the show achieved 37% ratings.
In the interview, he kept pulling our topic back to the original.
China News Weekly: In terms of your hosting style, doing “Dance Forest Congress” is not very suitable?
Zhao Zhongxiang: You think I don’t know humor, because you don’t know me at all. We are not a generation. I have been doing television for 50 years, and there is no other form I have never done. Can you understand In the Wulin Conference, Beijing Opera Oratorio, Pingju Oratorio, Spring Festival Gala, skit, sports broadcast, if you are looking for a generalist, it is me.
So you said I’m not used to it? That’s impossible! How else did I come here for 50 years. “Dance Forest Congress” is just one of them. Back then, Yang Lan and I hosted “Canadian Variety Show”, which was also an entertainment program. There are dancing and singing tricks.
China News Weekly: But now youOften the humor is ridiculed. For example, let you tell jokes in the way of “Animal World”.
Zhao Zhongxiang: I don’t mind being ridiculed, the language of the animal world is my old fan, I have done it many times, including in the Xinlianxin Art Troupe, and also use this method to make tandem. As long as I accept, they are happy to accept.
China News Weekly: Hosting “Zhengda Variety Show” was 20 years ago. Is that out of date today?
Zhao Zhongxiang: It’s difficult for you to change a person’s style. Times are changing. Since you like Hunan Satellite TV’s He Zhe, why did Shanghai Taiwan invite me? You can take a look at “Zhengda Variety Show”, how I did it, I think they are copying me now, that is the real humor. At that time I created a 37% audience rating, and neither of my predecessors or latecomers surpassed me. unprecedented. Without mentioning the reasons of the times, I am on this standard, which explains everything.
Liu Xiang is an Olympic champion even if he retires. 37% is an objective indicator.
China News Weekly: When you watch your show, do you keep reminding yourself that you were a champion.
Zhao Zhongxiang: That is history, it does not mean that I am 37% now, but it does not mean that I will not create another 37%. They also asked me to consider the ratings. It’s not hype, it’s propaganda, it’s called take care of me. I can bring popularity, but another person may not be able to do it.
China News Weekly: Are you currently under pressure? Zhao Zhongxiang: In my age, (come to do) has a high risk. Young people can do it again if they do n’t do well, but you have n’t The lack of this one, was replaced, very shameful. Sometimes we ca n’t afford to lose. The older the rivers and lakes, the less courageous.
I can accept this program, and I can throw out the tolerance of ordinary people. Including my closest friends and partners, they are not recommended in private. But until now, you have to know that the media took me as a project to hype, and it has been (hype) is very big, gathering fame is one for me This is a good thing, but it is also a double-edged sword, which hangs everyone’s appetite, but it fails to meet everyone’s expectations, and the disappointment and dissatisfaction is also terrible. I am now facing a time when everyone slaps and applauds. Whether it can be maintained in the future is a challenge for me.
I am nowI am trying hard to adapt to it, and I think everyone will sincerely evaluate that even if this program is not done well, it does not mean that all programs are not done well. Let me put my life up, that’s impossible. I think the audience will be tolerant too. It is immoral for you to host the show and serve you.
China News Weekly: Even if there is criticism, it will take care of you. I heard that you will dance live?
Zhao Zhongxiang: That’s a nonsense. Whether to dance or not depends on whether I am happy. Since the age of 18, I have skipped the most advanced dance in the ballroom dance. When Zhou Enlai danced, I was right next to him, okay? We’ve all been in the most elegant ballroom culture. Saying that is not good, it’s the feeling of a few nobles.
So the ballroom culture is by no means the current disco culture. We were all very gentlemen and elegant then, very knowledgeable of international etiquette. Including you raising your hands and paying attention, including how to hold your hand with your female dancer, what should be done is very particular. You can’t put your arms around like a woman, that’s too nasty. At this point, you know which hand you use to guide her in which direction. I’ve been jumping since I was 18 years old, and it’s very good.
China News Weekly: Your truth is quite humorous. So you don’t plan to take the serious line anymore?
Zhao Zhongxiang: It’s not a “serious” route. Look at Hou Baolin. He is very quiet in life. Professional needs and life are completely different. Acting as a decent person does not mean that he is very decent in his life. Maybe it will disappoint you, just like some corrupt officials on stage talking about people doing ghost things. So do not confuse the screen image with the basic elements of myself. The stage requires you to play, and the workplace requires you to adapt. Our host is generally adapted, but will not lose yourself.
For example, if you are solemnly broadcasting a government announcement, you cannot and dare not be serious, otherwise the audience will not agree. But it’s not that I went home to speak to my wife in this language. That’s distorted and ugly, so be sure to pay attention to your professional characteristics. “Hosting this show, I want to make a miracle”
China News Weekly: Has your mood changed since retirement? Many people are generally reluctant to let go.
Zhao Zhongxiang: I started my research on this issue when I was 40 years old. It is said that there are still 20 years left at that time. At that time, I had prepared for it. I saw that many people were very lost and had nothing to do after retirement. Including national leaders, there is a big difference between before and after retirement. The mental state and appearance are very touching.
I planned a lot of choices at that time. The simplest choice is to go to the north to summer in summer and go to the sea in winter.South heating. Bring the roll of paper and I’ll paint. What I didn’t expect was that I retired and still hosted on the front line as before, so now it seems that retirement is no different from no retirement.
The kind of contrast that I was worried about is almost non-existent. Two or three years before my retirement age, there were already many TV agencies coming to me. My students have become directors and cadres. I cooperate with things. Or the business unit said, you come and advertise to me. None of these jobs can be done, even after retirement.
Before, I had an obligation with CCTV, but now I can do it or not, and there is a lot of choice.
China News Weekly: After 2004, you almost disappeared from the screen. It is said that you are painting at home?
Zhao Zhongxiang: I have never lived at home. Even after retirement, I do “Animal World” and “Human and Nature”. I record 5 times as much work as others, recording 252 episodes a year . I participate in various CCTV programs, but now diversified, you don’t necessarily see me every day. But I was not idle.
No one likes CCTV. I don’t have spare time. I’m busy and always busy. Because my 50 years of journalism experience is impossible for others to have. I have participated in all the programs of CCTV now, and the newcomers do not have the opportunity to have this kind of heart.
China News Weekly: Since we are so busy, we still receive such a hard variety show?
Zhao Zhongxiang: I think this program is a kind of experience and challenge. I want to create a miracle. As a host, how far can I take my business? Then, just go forward and try again. When I came down, I felt okay, and I also had some confidence in myself. This exercise may not make me live longer.
If I want to be respected, I can rest at home after 50. I don’t want to be colorful, but if you let me sit quietly at home and read the newspaper for a day, I will feel very bored. I’m not usually a particularly active person, but I will never fall behind when I move.
China News Weekly: You are not out of date, haven’t you published a book not long ago?
Zhao Zhongxiang: I am a cultural person and I have to write something. The book states that it is the highest state of life. I am not a professional writer, but writing a book is a realm for a person who is a cultural career in his later years. By now I have to admit that there is not much to come, life is a great miracle, who knows that Luo Jing will walk in front of me. To do something I want to do, writing is one. If I do n’t even have a book left, I ’ve missed it.lifetime.
The burden of “Deyi Shuangxin”
Zhao Zhongxiang told reporters, don’t think that I’m retired, I’ll be left out; when the media came to me, I couldn’t sleep in excitement. Do you think I am in this state? On the other hand, he continued to be interviewed by various media and asked reporters to drink tea. Also said, I asked you to drink tea, you can write casually, I will not read.
Then he will naturally turn to the storm 5 years ago.
China News Weekly: Did you expect the media effect of your comeback?
Zhao Zhongxiang: I had expected that it would cause an effect, because the media would not let me go in the past two years. I always made an old man the focus of a star, and wrote a poem that made a national sensation.
China News Weekly: Do you care about the external comments on you?
Zhao Zhongxiang: Don’t care, I’m not my own way. I know a little bit about my professional standards, moral standards, and human standards. I haven’t endangered the happiness and freedom of society and others. I haven’t done anything harmful, so I am frank. You must remember that public opinion is a gust of wind and will soon pass.
China News Weekly: Let ’s forget about this. Do you think it will still be regarded as entertainment now?
Zhao Zhongxiang: I hardly know. I do n’t surf the Internet, I do n’t buy newspapers, you scold me and I ’m finished without hearing. If he is kind and people have a sense of justice, I will pay tribute to you even if there is misunderstanding. If you are hype, I feel sorry for them. Some people rely on this to make a living; if they are too evil, do n’t use me To punish him, it wasn’t me who offended me, and someone would clean them up.
I particularly believe that good is good and evil is good. If I do bad things, I do n’t need to be scolded by others. But I have n’t done any bad things. I ’m so busy every day. It ’s not that I do n’t have any personal interests. But after all, I serve the public. I work hard and honestly.
China News Weekly: You say that, I think you care. Does that lawsuit have been so big in the past few years and hasn’t changed your life?
Zhao Zhongxiang: There can be no influence. You think it’s a big deal, that’s because you’ve never seen it before. The same sentence is repeated a hundred times. Do you come up with something fresh that doesn’t let me feel complacent? !! For those things from the previous year, essentially tell me what’s going on. I did n’t raise a mistress,Gamble. What kind of morality is bad for me, even if all the personal attacks against me compiled by that person add up, what a deal.
At that time, I was rated as Deyi Shuangxin by CCTV. That is the public. It is not that the gust of public opinion can represent the public. Besides, the Shanghai station will not use a person full of evil, and you will not come to interview a surrender in prison.
You know why I don’t want you to snap a shot. Some people just want to see me ugly. For example, the wall calendar of our station in the past two years used one of my ugliest photos, saying that it is not the same as your usual time, usually too serious and solemn, and I have no problem.
