Opening remarks: In the past, Li Jiaming was a high-profile CCTV celebrity, but now he can only act as a foil next to others, like a green leaf.
Although he was originally a science student and should have inherited his parents' mantle as an engineer, he had great ambitions and a strong interest in words, and even chose broadcasting at the expense of "turning against his parents".
He went through a lot of hardships, staggered from Chongqing TV, and finally appeared on the stage of CCTV, but fortunately he finally succeeded and reaped fruitful achievements.
When he became famous on CCTV, he chose to give up this "iron rice bowl" and went abroad for further study.
However, when he returned from his studies, he found that everything had taken on a new look, CCTV continued to improve, and many new forces had emerged, and Xiao Ni had replaced his original position.
Why did he make such a choice?What about now?
Science students bravely venture into the liberal arts dream.
Born in 1975, he grew up in Xinjiang, but his ancestral home is Mianyang, Sichuan, and his parents are engineers, and he was sent to Xinjiang to support the work.
As a child, Li Jiaming often spent time with drawings, because his parents were busy with work, so he was particularly sensitive to numbers.
He showed his talent when he went to school, and he was able to solve difficult problems such as the Olympiad with ease.
When he was eight years old, his parents took him back to his hometown in Sichuan after work, which opened a new chapter in his life and allowed him to embark on a different journey of exploration.
Li Jiaming does not feel uncomfortable with the transfer school, on the contrary, he is curious about everything here and can concentrate on learning.
Li Jiaming may have benefited from his parents' high IQ genes, and has always been among the best in school, and he is a model student in the eyes of teachers, the pride of his parents, and a "model child" that adults often talk about.
Despite his great aptitude for mathematics, he was not very interested in mathematics, on the contrary, he appreciated Chinese characters more.
However, his parents expected him to inherit the family business, so they forced him to choose a science major in high school, and he had a plan for his future.
It wasn't until his junior year of high school that he finally clarified his ambition and made up his mind to apply for the Beijing Broadcasting Institute, despite the opposition of his parents.
Later, he secretly filled in "Beijing Broadcasting Institute" on the volunteer list, thinking that he would be admitted smoothly with his grades.
However, what he didn't expect was that the Broadcasting Academy did not accept science students, and this news was undoubtedly a heavy blow to him.
Li Jiaming then gave up the college entrance examination directly and chose to enter the film and television acting class of Sichuan Normal University without telling his parents.
After his parents learned about this, they quarreled with him, but after all, there is no impermeable wall in the world, but unfortunately Li Jiaming did not realize his mistake.
In order to make him realize his mistake, his parents ruthlessly stopped giving him living expenses, and even the tuition fees were borrowed by him, and he could only pay off his debts by working and studying.
After going through countless difficult days, Li Jiaming finally saw a glimmer of light in the long dark years.
After working hard for Chongqing TV for a period of time, he successfully appeared on the stage of CCTV. However, just when his career was booming, he chose to go to the United States for further study.
CCTV's "good seedlings" decided to ignore the obstacles and chose to study abroad.
In 2006, Li Jiaming had already made a name for himself at CCTV, however, just because of the words of Xu Xiaoping, the co-founder of New Oriental, he decided to leave CCTV!
In order to improve his professional level, Li Jiaming was helpless at that time, so he found Xu Xiaoping for guidance. As a result, Xu Xiaoping said to him bluntly:
If you are eager to pursue a broader development space, then choose to study abroad!Come to the United States, the kingdom of television, and study abroad!Head to New York, the heart of American culture, home to Columbia University, the most influential university in the field of media.
As far as Xu Xiaoping was concerned, he completely agreed, and without thinking too much, he immediately prepared to go abroad.
When he submitted his resignation to CCTV, his leaders, colleagues and family members persuaded him not to do stupid things. However, he has had a stubborn personality since he was a child, and no one can pull him.
Li Jiaming resolutely left everything behind and went abroad alone to pursue new knowledge.
His departure will inevitably lead to some adjustments to be made by CCTV, and during his study abroad, CCTV cannot stop operating because of his absence.
Therefore, Li Jiaming ignored this, and he only considered that his position after returning still belonged to him, so he made such a "stupid" decision.
However, if he hadn't left at the beginning, judging from his strength, he would probably have been firmly on the throne of "CCTV First Brother", because his hosting style is loved by many audiences.
Before entering CCTV, Li Jiaming used to do some grassroots odd jobs, but he was successfully promoted from the bottom to the top of CCTV, how did he achieve such an achievement?
He went all the way from Chongqing TV to CCTV and became a shining new star.
In 1994, Chongqing TV conducted an open recruitment, and it was this opportunity that allowed Li Jiaming to enter smoothly and changed the trajectory of his life.
Everyone has to start from the most basic work when they first step into society, and Li Jiaming is no exception. At first, he didn't have the opportunity to do important work, so he could only be responsible for menial tasks such as cleaning, serving tea and pouring water.
Fortunately, Li Jiaming did not give up because of this. Being able to get into the TV station means that he will have the opportunity to learn a lot of things, so he is very happy.
After a long time of hard work, Li Jiaming finally ushered in the opportunity to show himself, just like the sharpness of a sword is sharpened, and the fragrance of plum blossoms is also emanated from the bitter cold.
When a live show was being broadcast on the station, the news of the host's car accident suddenly came at the end of the show.
What's even more unfortunate is that other hosts have their own programs to record in the station, and there are no suitable replacements, and the leaders are very anxious.
Li Jiaming suddenly said to the leader: "Can I give it a try?"”
At this point, there is no better solution, so we have to adopt the approach of "dead horse as a live horse doctor" and let an inexperienced person try it.
Surprisingly, however, despite this being his first time on stage, he was not nervous, instead acting calmly and clearly, showing the demeanor of a mature streamer.
Since then, the leadership has attached great importance to him and decided to put him in charge of the program "Chongqing News".
He was appreciated by the leaders in the show "Dragon Gate Array", and he was also loved and recognized by many viewers due to the continuous soaring ratings.
Under his auspices, the show's ratings continued to rise, and there is no doubt that he contributed a lot.
With his growth and progress, his talent attracted the attention of CCTV in 2000, and then he won the favor of CCTV and entered the highest hall in the hosting world.
In CCTV, Li Jiaming got a better opportunity, but after all, there are people outside the people, and there are mountains outside the mountains. He did receive high honors on Chongqing TV, but here, he is just one of many ordinary people.
The "Happy Dictionary" hosted by him and Wang Xiaoya swept the whole country in those years.
Although he won a very high honor, when facing the "first sister of CCTV" Wang Xiaoya, he felt deeply inferior and often ashamed of himself.
However, fortunately, he later took on the role of hosting the variety show "Absolute Challenge" alone, perhaps it was burst out after his painstaking accumulation, and under his leadership, this show became popular all over the country.
Since then, Li Jiaming's progress has become more and more significant, and in just three years, he has been able to match many old-timers, which is enough to prove that his strength is not trivial.
At this juncture, Li Jiaming decided to go abroad to continue his studies, but was his study abroad experience a blessing or a curse?
Is it counterproductive to study abroad in order to add value to yourself, but you are replaced by others?
In 2008, Li Jiaming returned from his studies, full of confidence and ready to show his achievements to the people of the whole country, and he was ready to "kill the Quartet".
When he returned to CCTV, he found that everything was already wrong, and the position he had left had already been filled by newcomer Nigmaiti.
In order to give him another chance to show his talent, CCTV arranged a new program "Treasure Hunt".
Li Jiaming's experience has indeed brought new learning gains, and his performance has improved, but he still maintains his usual hosting style, which still has some shortcomings.
Subsequently, he successively hosted many programs such as "Love Dedication", "China Pride", "Every Second Counts", "Departure to Happiness", "100 Seconds" and so on.
Although he has been moving forward and moving forward, the times are constantly advancing, and people's perceptions are changing with it. In addition, he disappeared for two years and has lost his original style, so he has not regained the peak state when he left abroad.
In 2017, Li Jiaming made another bold decision - to pursue a doctorate. Therefore, he moved from the front of the stage to the backstage, and gradually faded out of the big screen.
After earning his Ph.D., he returned to CCTV and turned his attention to the military channel.
In just six weeks, he managed to increase the ratings of the program "Defense New Observation" to the first place on the CCTV-7 military agriculture channel.
Li Jiaming is 48 years old, but he is still firmly on the path he has chosen, always remembering his original intention, and proving his ability with his strength.
Final summary: Looking back on the first half of Li Jiaming's life, he chose a different path because of his stubbornness, had a soft spot for Chinese characters, and became a host.
He went through the process from obscurity to fame and fortune, everything seemed to be smooth, but in fact it took a lot of hard work. However, I firmly believe that these twists and turns will be a wonderful chapter in his life journey.
He resigned from CCTV at his peak, and after returning to China, he faced everything that started from "zero". However, in retrospect, his achievements are quite good.
The reason for Li Jiaming's success is that he is brave and fearless, insists on himself, and has no hesitation or regrets.
