Many years ago, the well-known host Chen Rong once said: "I can't be a host when I'm old in the future, I can still be an excellent producer, right." ”
What Chen Rong didn't expect was that this day came earlier than expected, not because she was middle-aged, but because she made a wrong decision in 2021 and may never have a chance to appear on the screen again.
In the hearts of Shanghai audiences, the most popular male hosts are Cao Kefan and Lin Hai, and the female hosts are indispensable Chen Rong.
Since the age of 21, Chen Rong has been accompanying everyone in front of the TV. Compared with many hosts with outstanding shapes, although Chen Rong looks average, her gentle and intellectual temperament can always give the audience an affinity.
Along the way, Chen Rong was also appreciated by many seniors, coupled with her own dedication, the first half of her life was infinitely beautiful. But the higher you are in life, the more you need to know to capture your heart, otherwise you will only regret it.
Spent his student years in Twin Cities.
Chen Rong was born on October 7, 1976 in a dual-income family in Ningbo. Since her parents have to work during the day, Chen Rong spends most of her time living with her grandmother in the countryside.
Chen Rong has never attended an interest class since she was a child, and she has been playing and growing up with the children in the village every holiday, in her words, "grassroots summer vacation".
Not only that, Chen Rong has been very stingy since she was a child, and she was not willing to speak until she was five years old.
At that time, her parents took her to see many doctors, but it didn't work except for urgency, only waiting for Chen Rong to say it herself, no one thought that she would become a well-known host in Shanghai with her good eloquence in the future.
If there's one thing that can help her on her hosting journey, it's the TV.
Chen Rong's father is very interested in electronic technology, and he assembled the first black and white TV in the family by himself, and each component was bought back by Chen Rong with his father to the electronic parts market, and he witnessed the whole process of assembling the TV.
Moreover, Chen Rong's family became one of the few families in that era to own a television set, and the left and right neighbors had to sit in her courtyard and watch TV. In Chen Rong's mind, this is a very brilliant thing.
Although television already existed, programming was nowhere near as rich as it is today. In addition to cartoons, one of Chen Rong's favorite programs is called "Learning Pinyin". I watched it for four years.
Chen Rong, who came to Shanghai to study in elementary school, lived at her aunt's house. Because she learned pinyin with TV for four years in the past, her primary school life was easier than many of her classmates, and she also got some opportunities.
When she was in the lower grades, Chen Rong was invited to read texts on the school's radio station, which showed her Mandarin skills. Although he opened his mouth to speak a little late, it was better than pronouncing the words.
At that time, Chen Rong was excellent but she didn't know it, and she couldn't understand why the teacher chose her, but she just felt that it was a more show-off thing.
After graduating from junior high school, Chen Rong returned to her hometown of Ningbo and completed three years of study at Zhenhai Middle School, a provincial key school.
Perhaps because of the proximity to home and good grades, three years in the town was a happy day for Chen Rong.
In 2011, Chen Rong's alma mater, Zhenhai Middle School, celebrated its centennial, and Chen Rong was invited to hold a party for the school as an outstanding graduate.
Among the students, Chen Rong has a decent and glamorous job, and not anyone can be qualified for the position of host, which is a happy thing for teachers and students, but the only regret on the day of the school celebration is that none of the students showed up due to their busy work.
After waiting for middle school, Chen Rong returned to Shanghai to study at Beihong Middle School, a key high school.
For Chen Rong, Beihong Middle School is a turning point in her life, and it is also the starting point of her dream.
At that time, Chen Rong, Ma Yili, and Sun Li were all alumni, and he also asked for Ma Yili's experience when applying for Shanghai Theater Academy.
In the three years of high school, Chen Rong not only lived a very fulfilling life, but also showed her hosting ability.
She is very enthusiastic about participating in school activities, and has held the "Beihong Spring" Art Festival for three consecutive years, which is an annual event held by Beihong Middle School. Although it was not inferior to the large-scale evening party in front of the TV, it gave Chen Rong a feeling of standing on the podium as a host.
In addition, Chen Rong became obsessed with radio when she was in middle school, and no matter how busy she was in Xi school, she never fell behind listening to the radio, and she fell asleep every night when she heard "Together Until Dawn". Saturdays and Sundays are listened to from morning to night.
Fluent and standardized Mandarin coupled with daily listening and broadcasting Xi made Chen Rong the director of the school's radio station. Every afternoon at school, Chen Rong always came to the radio station on time to accompany everyone.
In order to make more students happy to listen to the radio, Chen Rong put forward a lot of suggestions based on her experience of constantly listening to the radio at Oriental Radio, which is similar to doing small activities such as prize quizzes. Although the manuscript is not finished, it shows Chen Rong's thoughts.
From primary school to middle school, Chen Rong got a lot of opportunities to read aloud and host along the way, but she was confused about which major to study in college, because she didn't know that the exit on the road to being a host was **.
Preside over the nobles on the road.
Compared with many hosts who stood on the podium after layers of screening, Chen Rong had another blessing on the road to hosting.
She doesn't compete, and she doesn't think it's like to be eliminated, but she just knows two noble people, one for her to know how to get started, and the other for her to enter the industry.
In fact, although Chen Rong hosted many activities on campus when she was a student, she was more practical, never thinking of being a host for this, but wanted to be a lawyer or a hotel public relations.
After all, there were very few professions related to hosting at that time, and most people had the impression that the host in front of the TV was out of reach.
When she was in middle school, Chen Rong's ability to preside was recognized by all teachers and students in the school, especially by the then principal. He regarded Chen Rong as a rare literary talent, so he recommended Chen Rong to apply for the Shanghai Theater Academy three times.
But Chen Rong is a very self-aware man, she doesn't feel her talent in literature and art, she can neither sing and dance, nor learn any expertise. Although she was a recognized host during her school years, she knew her talent inside out and was only good at connecting and improvising between programs.
Therefore, as soon as the principal mentioned to her about applying for the play, Chen Rong only politely greeted the principal, so she didn't take it to heart at all.
For the second time, the principal bumped into her again to talk about the new professional training host of the play, which seemed to be a faint light for Chen Rong. It wasn't until the third time that the principal finally decided that Shangju did open the major of TV editing (hosting), and Chen Rong decided to register.
At that time, the Shanghai Theater Academy was a dream university in the minds of many performing arts students, and some people were nervously preparing a year in advance in order to be admitted to the theater, but Chen Rong had a good attitude.
It takes 3 exams to enter the play, and 30 yuan is paid at a time, but Chen Rong does not bring money for each exam because she thinks she is unlikely to be admitted, so she is simply not ready.
After many years of success, Chen Rong was a guest on her program "Chen Rong Blog", recalling this experience, and thanking Chen Rong for the opportunity to stand on the podium that year. What's more, he was strongly recommended by the high school principal, although there was no contact, but the principal has always been Bole on Chen Rong's road of presiding.
The second noble person is Chen Peiying, who is affectionately called Mr. Xiaochen.
As the first generation host of Shanghai TV, she changed her career to become a producer in 1994, including "Intellectual Surfing", "Dance Forest Conference" and other programs, all of which were produced and planned by Mr. Xiaochen.
At that time, although Chen Rong had just entered college, she had already hosted a column. The sophomore year was a critical period in Chen Rong's hosting career, because she was selected by Mr. Xiao Chen, a producer who had just transformed into a producer, to record "Intellectual Surfing".
However, there were several episodes during Chen Rong's interview, which made Chen Rong experience the fierce competition in the TV industry for the first time.
Before Chen Rong officially hosted "Intellectual Surfing", she worked with the program team for a month, and took the bus to Shanghai TV station every day after school to start work and life. But when she was about to go on stage to record the show, Chen Rong received the bad news that she was replaced.
At that time, Chen Rong didn't have the courage to run to the program team to the end, so she only cried when she returned to the bedroom, only saying to herself that the show had nothing to do with him.
Afterwards, Chen Rong saw that her classmates had hosted the "Intellectual Surfing" program for 8 consecutive episodes, and they were getting better and better, and she had no bottom in her heart.
Well said, when not expecting, the situation has taken a turn for the better.
Chen Rong thought that she would never be able to be on "Intellectual Surfing" again, but she received an audition announcement from the program team again, but this time it was Shen Aojun who interviewed her.
After the audition, the moment Chen Rong came down from the stage, Shen Aojun happened to walk on the podium, and Chen Rong's ears echoed the singing voice of the director team: This little girl is so beautiful.
Fortunately, Chen Rong is very strong in her heart and doesn't care about the surface, but after the incident, Chen Rong said bluntly: At that time in the play, you have to take into account the mood of the newcomer.
Subsequently, Chen Rong finally served as the host of the "Intellectual Surfing" program and cooperated with Cheng Lei.
The 1998 New Year's Day special program "Intellectual Surfing" was Chen Rong's first appearance on the stage of the show, and this stop was six years.
Chen Rong is nothing new on stage, but Chen Rong is just a new actor for this show, so it is even more common for the director to scold from the ear when hosting this show.
But it must be admitted that "Intellectual Surfing" has brought Chen Rong development in a real sense. Going out to host, performing sketches, dancing and singing, it can be said that he has practiced eighteen kinds of martial arts, which makes Chen Rong comfortable hosting other programs in the future.
High-profile hosting and low-key life.
From 2003 to 2005, Chen Rong was the most active on the screen, and five programs were hosted by Chen Rong alone.
has experienced the hardest years of Chen Rong's hosting career, and only now will I find another you.
As a host, everyone wants to have their own column, and so does Chen Rong.
In 2006, Chen Rong began to transform and hosted the first time as a producer in the talk show "Tonight Hee Haw".
Although the broadcast was suspended for a year, for Chen Rong, this is at least the first step. At the same time, this is the fourth year that she has accompanied the Golden Microphone Awards.
But the beginning of 2007 was a good start for Chen Rong, who finally won the Golden Microphone Award and has been a full ten years since she started working as a host in her second year of college.
Whether it is when her career is unsatisfactory or when she is recognized, Chen Rong is a person who will not stay in place for too long.
So, in 2007, she made a big fuss about the new drama "Chen Rong Blog".
In fact, Shanghai TV already had a very stable rating of the talk show "Kefan Listening" at that time. This is a cultural celebrity program hosted by Mr. Cao Kefan since 2003. It is conceivable that Chen Rong is doing a good job, which is not an easy task.
As the saying goes, "everyone has to be bold and out of their comfort zone", you can only understand if it's right for you at the beginning.
A good talk show host should also be a good listener, but Chen Rong is even better at being a talker.
And what Chen Rong didn't expect was that there was a guest Cao Kefan who could be invited, but Chen Rong couldn't be invited.
In addition, she used to be a host and a colleague in the program team for her own use, but now Chen Rong's role as a producer has changed, and every time she invites an interview guest, she is not used to it, because she has to lower her profile.
In this way, "Chen Rong Blog" has been on the air for about four years, and "Kefan Listening" has been broadcast once a week so far.
Although Chen Rong's own program did not become an evergreen tree in Taichung, because of this experience, Chen Rong stood firm on Dragon TV, and later left Chen Rong's footprints at major festival parties.
Compared with being high-profile in the workplace, Chen Rong is very low-key in love, and no one knows when they are happy events.
Chen Rong's emotional experience is very simple, she once had a seven-year campus relationship, and finally broke up due to a long distance. In the future, Chen Rong's heart was spent on work.
Before the age of 30, Chen Rong occasionally wanted to get married and was a little worried, but after the age of 30, she became more calm and calm, and the other half met on a blind date.
Chen Rong's husband has the same surname as her, a returnee in finance. The two are very low-key in the process of getting along, and they don't even know their colleagues.
Many people think that the host's marriage should be done in an infinite way, but Chen Rong is different, not only is the marriage not paved, but the preparation will be completed in 20 days. Chen Rong was busy with work and her honeymoon was free.
Chen Rong gave birth to a pair of dragon and phoenix fetuses in 2015, and the baby's names were Chen Shuang and Chen Pair.
In order to balance the relationship between family and work, Chen Rong presided over the stage during the day, and when she returned home at night, she preferred to sleep less and spend more time with her children.
Not only that, but she has also reached a new level in her career, and this time Chen Rong also directly served as the producer and chief director of "We Are in Action".
Two months after the broadcast, Chen Rong had a small accident while hosting the show in Jinping County, Yunnan.
It was raining on the day of the host, and Chen Rong accidentally fell on the stage, and at that time she was wearing high heels and lying on the desk. After a simple processing by medical staff, Chen Rong returned to the stage, she said that this is the first time she has wrestled on stage in more than 20 years, and she is destined to become an unforgettable Jinping.
The audience applauded warmly, which also made us see Chen Rong's eloquence and strong adaptability.
At this time, Chen Rong has rich and mature work experience both in front of and behind the scenes, and is a host with affinity and family harmony in the eyes of the audience. If she could persevere, the second half of her life could have been easy and happy, but the reality was a heavy blow to Chen Rong.
In April 2021, Chen Rong took the 5 hosts of the station to appear at the birthday banquet of the former richest man in Shanghai, and took the stage together to offer blessings.
recalled that Chen Rong only fell on stage three years ago, and he fell in his hosting career three years later.
But this time it wasn't as easy as getting up, but I never had the chance to show up in front of the camera again.
A few months later, Chen Rong repositioned herself as a director and producer. When people saw her again, it was still the smiling Chen Rong back then.
Chen Rong, 47 years old this year, no longer misses the lights and applause on the stage, and is relieved to work behind the scenes.
In the eyes of everyone, Chen Rong's transformation is somewhat regrettable, but maybe for Chen Rong, it doesn't matter if she is a producer, it is only a matter of time before she changes her career to become a producer, but she has to be ahead of her time, because there are scenes everywhere in life.
