CCTV once had a host, although he was loved by the audience, but unlike Ni Ping, Zhao Zhongxiang and others, he did not have an indestructible position in CCTV.
He has been praised and questioned in CCTV, and there are even ** reports that he is a "three bad" actor with "poor artistic morality, poor acting morality, and poor morality".
Cheng Qian was the host who was rumored to be "expelled from CCTV" on the Internet.
What is the reason why Cheng Qian, who has hosted "Zhengda Variety Show" on CCTV and hosted the CCTV Spring Festival Gala with Ni Ping, has been so evaluated?
Xiao Chengqian was born in 1963 in an ordinary family in Beijing, and even before he was born, his life had been completely changed.
Cheng's grandmother has a total of four children, of which the eldest daughter, eldest son and third son have started their own family, and they already have several children, while the second child has only one daughter and no son.
Therefore, when Cheng Qian was still in his mother's womb, Grandma Cheng said: If the third daughter-in-law is pregnant with a boy, she will pass him on to the second child's family.
The third child already has a son to support, while the second child does not, and this is the simple reason. Although this reason may sound a little implausible now, it was a very common situation at the time.
Cheng Qian was just 15 days old, and he was hugged to his "father" - the second uncle, and his biological father became the "third father".
When Cheng Qian was a little older, he was curious why he called his sister "third uncle" and he called his third father, but his small head didn't make him pay too much attention to this matter. In this way, this potential problem is quietly buried.
Cheng Qian's biological father is Cheng Zhi, maybe you are not familiar with this name, but you must know the role he played in the 86 version of "Journey to the West" - the elder Jinchi, the owner of the courtyard who became greedy and obsessed in the "Woe to Guanyin Temple".
At that time, Cheng Zhi was already a well-known actor.
When Cheng Qian was three years old, he went to Jiujiang, Jiangxi Province with his family due to family changes, and completed his junior high school and high school studies at the Jiujiang Cement Ship Pilot Plant Children's School. It all happened in 1966.
It wasn't until 1977 that the 'hidden dangers' that had been planted many years ago suddenly erupted. ”
When the child was held to the second brother, in fact, Cheng Qian's biological father Cheng Zhi had already made an agreement with the second brother: when Cheng Qian was 20 years old, he would tell him about being adopted. He thought that Cheng Qian had matured a little bit at that time and was able to accept the news more easily.
Unexpectedly, Cheng Qian had already learned about this unbelievable thing from others, and he was only 14 years old at the time. That year, Cheng Zhi played the role of the villain in the movie "Unforgettable Battle" "Wu Da Leper", which was watched by almost everyone at the time.
Suddenly, when Cheng Qian was playing with his friends, he heard someone shouting loudly: "Come and see, that's Wuda's biological father, a leper." ”
Cheng Qian turned his head and found that his little friend was pointing at him, after all, in that era, there were few secrets that could be kept by the people of a village.
Look, the heart of watching the excitement cooled down in an instant, and at that moment, the confusion of the "third uncle" and "third father" many years ago instantly came to mind, and the answer was already obvious, but Cheng Qian didn't want to believe it.
Cheng Qian ran home crying, and after many pleas, he finally got an answer from his mother: he really wasn't biological!
This 14-year-old child could not understand the importance of tradition and retirement, nor could he understand the way of thinking of the older generation. He just felt that he had been abandoned by his biological father and couldn't accept this reality.
When his mother told Cheng Qian about this, his father had not returned, and Cheng Qian had been locked in the house for a day and a night and did not want to go out.
His father had been waiting at the door for a long time, and when Cheng Qian was finally willing to go out of the house, he said to him, "It's not your fault. Your father and I both regard you as a son, and I will support you no matter what you decide. ”
Cheng Qian learned how much his parents had suffered for him, and even though they were not their biological parents, there was an indelible blood relationship between them. Faced with this fact, Cheng Qian burst into tears and strengthened his belief: "In my life, you have always been my father. ”
Since then, it has been buried deep in his heart, an insurmountable obstacle, but never to be mentioned again.
Although Cheng Qian was emotionally unable to identify with his biological father Cheng Zhi, it was undeniable that the strong influence of bloodline. Even though he was not raised by his biological father, Cheng Qian still inherited his biological father's acting talent.
When Cheng Qian was a teenager, he determined his future life direction early: to become an actor. However, his path was very difficult, full of ups and downs, and even faced difficulties at the beginning stage.
After graduating from high school in the late '70s, Cheng taught math as a substitute teacher at school, but was replaced by a regular teacher soon after. In order to earn a living, he then turned to the shipyard to unload cargo.
The young man was not yet 18 years old, and he had to bear nearly 1,000 pounds of goods every day, and in less than five days, he was already covered in injuries before the journey.
In just one month, Cheng Qian finally earned his first salary - a total of 62 yuan.
The mother did not use the money, but used it all to support the family. She looked at the money in her hand, saw her shoulders swell like steamed buns due to exertion, and looked at her son's dark appearance, tears suddenly burst out of her eyes.
Cheng Qian arranged to work as a fitter in the factory, and he studied his skills diligently. Half a year later, when he participated in the fitter technical assessment, he won the first place.
Although the work went well, Cheng Qian did not forget his original intention.
In 1982, Cheng Qian applied for the Shanghai Theater Academy, but unfortunately was not admittedLater, he tried to apply for the position of broadcaster at Xiaoshan Radio Station in Zhejiang, but was also unsuccessful. When he began to doubt whether he was really suitable for this path and retreated, the Jiujiang Repertory Theatre gave him a turnaround.
Cheng Qian began his career as a host and performer at the Jiujiang Repertory Theatre, where he was seconded.
In 1985, Cheng Qian went to Guangzhou under the recommendation of a friend to participate in the examination of the Zhujiang Film Studio Actors Troupe. After successfully passing the exam, the next step is to wait for the official appointment.
The appointment has been delayed for a long time, but the reason is still unknown.
Anxious, Cheng Qian waited in the mailroom every day for the appointment from Guangzhou, and it was not until July that he finally found the official appointment letter sent by the Guangzhou Municipal Public Security Bureau in a pile of letters.
This made Cheng Qian feel as if the clouds had been waiting for a long time to see the moon.
Leave Jiujiang and head to Guangzhou. The "Public Security" program was also officially launched on Guangdong TV, making Cheng Qian the first TV host in the country to wear a police uniform.
Cheng Qian, who is 1.8 meters tall, is also heroic when he wears a police uniform.
On October 1, 1986, Cheng Qian served as the host of the National Day Gala of Guangdong TV for the first time, which attracted the attention of the person in charge of Guangdong TV at that time to this outstanding host.
In the second year after the summer, Cheng Qian was transferred to Guangdong TV as a legal program host, and successively hosted "A Song Unforgettable" and "Art Gallery", and after finally passing the review, he was arranged to host the weekend section "Spend a Good Time Together", and participated in the hosting of various large-scale variety shows.
So far, Cheng Qian has only been active in local stations in Guangdong, but his ambitions are not limited to this, he wants to go further.
In the fall of 1988, CCTV held a nationwide competition for professional TV hosts, aiming to screen out outstanding hosts from all over the country.
Cheng Qian knew that his opportunity had come, and after careful preparation, he successfully entered the finals with "Six Minutes to Host" and won the title of "Top Ten TV Hosts in China".
In 1991, Cheng Qian was invited to participate in the Quyi Gala of ** TV station for the first time and performed cross talk.
Cheng Qian was seconded to ** TV station to host "The End of the World at this time" the following year, but he had not officially joined CCTV at that time. Until the Spring Festival of 1994, Cheng Qian and Ni Ping co-hosted the ** TV Spring Festival Gala, and then became the host of the "Zhengda Variety Show" program.
Since then, Cheng Qian has started his career at CCTV.
Cheng Qian showed a handsome and handsome image in "Zhengda Variety Show", quick response, and excellent field control ability, which made him quickly become one of CCTV's hot hosts.
In 1996, the second year after Cheng Qian took control of his career, the Cheng family underwent earth-shaking changes.
The loss of his adoptive father in this year was a heavy blow to both him and his mother, causing him to have no energy to participate in any activities throughout the year.
After dealing with his father's funeral, Cheng Qian took his mother to Beijing to live with him. At that time, Cheng Qian did not have a fixed residence in Beijing, and he moved with his adoptive mother many times, experiencing frequent migrations.
Looking at his elderly mother, who had been accompanying him in the move, he knew in his heart that the house had to be bought.
Cheng Qian just started working at CCTV and had almost no savings in his hands. He wanted to give his mother a stable home, a home that would never have to move again.
For this reason, Cheng Qian basically borrowed a circle of money from friends around him, scraped together more than 300,000 yuan, and bought a three-bedroom house for his mother in Beijing.
When Cheng Qian brought the real estate certificate to his mother, the strong and gentle woman shed tears in front of Cheng Qian for the first time and said, "I am just your adoptive mother." ”
You are the most important person in my life, my father is no longer there, but you have been more than heaven in raising me. Cheng Qian was saddled with a debt of 300,000 yuan.
In the 90s, the average salary of people was a few tens of yuan, and a very small number of people may only be a few hundred yuan. If you use the current situation as an analogy, it is about equivalent to your current monthly salary of 3,000 yuan, you need to pay rent, but you are facing a debt pressure of 1.2 million yuan, you can imagine how much pressure there is.
However, compared to now, before young people went through this process, their monthly fixed monthly payment pressure was not quite the same, because they basically borrowed money from friends, so they would pay it off as soon as they had it.
After Cheng Qian bought a house, he realized that he had to work hard to make money, and his original position as a good CCTV host has become the biggest restriction he is currently facing.
CCTV has always had a rule that prohibits hosts from participating in entertainment programs, crews and other activities.
Cheng Qian had the idea of filming, but this behavior violated CCTV's regulations. He was caught in a dilemma.
He is passionate about filming because it is exactly what he aspires to do. Although it is tiring to do so, it can be well paid.
After many considerations, between the CCTV host and the actors, Cheng Qian finally decided to give up.
On August 19, I went to CCTV's personnel file office, retrieved my file, and officially announced the termination of the contract with CCTV.
There's no going back, and once you're gone, there's no turning back.
CCTV's former fluent and responsive front-line host never appeared on CCTV's stage again;How many Sunday afternoons, the audience sat in front of the TV early, waiting for the "Zhengda Variety Show" hosted by Cheng Qian.
If he asks you if you regret it, he will answer: No.
However, this incident did not have any negative impact on Cheng Qian's hosting career. On September 8, as the host of the South African ** film crew of the All-China Federation of Industry and Commerce, Cheng Qian went to South Africa to work.
After 2000, Cheng Qian's main focus was basically on filming.
In 2000, he participated in the TV series "Story 2000", and in November starred in the movie "With You" directed by Chen Kaige.
It wasn't until 2004 that the role of Li Tingqi, who was extremely selfish and extremely selfish, in "Shanghai Vice", opened the door for Cheng Qian's reputation in the director circle at that time, and this role made more directors begin to notice him. Although before, Cheng Qian's performance in several dramas was mediocre.
In 2005, Cheng Qian was invited to participate in the film "Wuji" directed by ** song, and played the role of Wang in this film that later caused infinite controversy. To be honest, I didn't really recognize him when I watched this movie.
Next, Cheng Qian's opportunities to participate in dramas decreased, and it was not until 2008 that a TV series that was truly well-known to the audience appeared - "Dongfang Shuo". In the play, Cheng Qian played the role of Dongfang Shuo, the protagonist of both resourcefulness and resourcefulness, and this play can be described as a turning point in Cheng Qian's life.
After 2008, Cheng Qian continued to engage in the filming career, and at the same time, he was also thinking about transformation. There is a good saying: "If you act well, you will direct", and Cheng Qian is also preparing to change in the direction of directing.
The 36-episode large-scale TV series "The Casker" directed by Cheng Qian premiered on CCTV on November 6, 2021, and the story tells the emotions of the difficult development of patriotic industrialists at the beginning of the last century.
Cheng Qian's directing skills have also been recognized by insiders, after the TV series was broadcast.
He has been rated as a "three-bad" actor with "poor artistic morality, poor acting morality, and poor morality" by some **, and said that he was an actor expelled from CCTV. Cheng Qian denied this, saying that these were nonsense.
His resignation to film has not only become the focus of discussion, but his love life has also been a topic of conversation.
Cheng Qian has experienced three relationships.
I met Wang Yue when I participated in the CCTV host contest in 1988, and they have always kept in touch in the years when they worked hard to develop CCTV.
In 1992, Cheng Qian and Wang Yue officially received the certificate, and since then, Wang Yue has become "the Jiao in the golden house", unfortunately, Cheng Qian gave Wang Yue not the golden house, but three years of "not recognized".
Cheng Qian and Wang Yue chose to conceal their marital relationship after they got married, and Cheng Qian used "career development" as an excuse.
At that time, Cheng Qian was seconded to CCTV to host "The End of the World", his career can be said to be budding, Wang Yue also expressed his understanding, after all, the host needs to maintain a good image. So Cheng Qian stupidly agreed to this opportunity.
After three years of suffering, Wang Yue was finally unable to persevere, resulting in their official divorce in 1995.
Dong Qing is the CCTV host that everyone is now familiar with, and she is Cheng Qian's second relationship.
When they met, Dong Qing was just a host of a local TV station. It wasn't until later, with Cheng Qian's encouragement and introduction, that she went to Beijing to prepare for the CCTV interview.
The two gradually became familiar at work, and naturally developed into a relationship.
They fell in love in 2001 and decided to start living together officially a year later.
The first few years of the two were sweet and happy, and Cheng Qian was Dong Qing's predecessor at work, and often provided guidance to his girlfriend;And Dong Qing also performed well and quickly grew into an outstanding host in CCTV.
Two people who are not equal in development soon have a disagreement that becomes more and more pronounced over time. In 2007, this six-year relationship came to an end. As for the merits, the parties did not mention it again.
In 2013, Cheng Qian once again entered the palace of marriage. This time, he chose an outsider woman who was nearly 20 years younger than himself as his wife. The following year, he welcomed his own son. 51-year-old Cheng Qian finally ushered in the joy of being a father.
Cheng was nearly half a hundred years old and has been very open to many things. He spared no effort to protect his wife and children, reduced public appearances, and concentrated on playing the role of a good husband and father.
After decades of life, Cheng Qian can be said to be full of hardships and hardships, but he has never been knocked down by difficulties, but cherishes his family and has always been serious about his work.
To understand a person, one must truly understand his character and not listen to what others say. Life will not ignore everyone who works hard, provided that you are really serious about running into the future.
