我当年刚到凤凰，是做娱乐节目，然后做锵锵三人行，是说自己的事。 This is the custom in Hong Kong, that is, as long as you're not a news reporter, the programs you host are entertainment, and the programs that teach people how to cook you're also an entertainer, and there's an element of performance. When we sign a contract, we are called entertainers.
Before I went to Hong Kong, I did all types of programs. At that time I was known as a picking, editing, broadcasting all-round, because I was studying journalism, you can name the programs I have done, from children's programs, game shows, news programs to discussion programs, and later on as a program producer, doing management. When I got to Hong Kong, which is a professionalized society, none of the journalists in Phoenix had to carry the machine; there were people to carry the machine, not you. Phoenix's initial mechanism is according to the rules of Hong Kong, you are an entertainer, what you say is written by someone, you are an actor, you have to be vocal and lively interpretation.
The "mother" of "Medaka Three" is the boss, Liu Changle, who came up with the idea for the program, and who ordered me to host it. The only thing I've ever created is a way to chat. On "Medallion Three", I'm a very personal face, and that breaks up all the divisions of labor, which is actually a kind of reversion. The show was only me for a long time, one episode a day. Now I have an assistant. I have to do one episode of "Wentao Beat" a week, and I have to do five episodes of "Medaka Three". There's a team of people working on "Wentao Pat Case", and for a long time I was the only one working on "Medallion Three", which is unbelievable in a traditional talk show. That's why I say Phoenix TV has been a success and a failure. It highlights one's personality so much because it gives you the stage, a stage that is still this stage except you, and so there is ample room for you to show your personality. However, in reality, this program to continue to do, there will also be no support for the difficulties. Because the individual's ability is after all limited.
"Medaka Three", this private chat, in fact, is forced by the Phoenix, which gives you a net of unfavorable conditions, it is every time there is no one to help you to invite guests, talk about what the content will not be someone to tell you, we don't have that team, every time I am alone, and then the guests are best to be fixed, every time it is these three people. In fact, people are very lazy, and there is usually a tradition in their heads: to make a talk show, you have to invite guests, find people to talk, and find people to plan what to talk about. But in Phoenix, it doesn't provide all of this, so you can't do it, but you have to do it, and that's what you do when you know you can't do it. The result is somehow forced out of such a way.
When I knew I was going to do this show, I thought what in the world are these three people always talking about, talking about all aspects of society, talking about what we like? And then I thought about it so hard that my head hurt. It was less than a week before the video, and one morning in the early hours of the morning, it dawned on me. I figured out a lot of things that day, and what I figured out that day still helps me today. What did I realize? I realized that "it's like this". What is it about life that we talk about every day, and it's always the same three people? Isn't that chatting? It's in life! You can chat with your colleagues and friends all day long, all night long, you can not even watch the best TV series, you can talk to your friends, your wife rushed you do not come home, it means that there must be an attractive idea in this matter. A characteristic of "open-mindedness" is that it turns all unfavorable conditions into desirable conditions, and this is what makes "Medallion Three". Chatting often emphasizes the process of chatting, so I won't be too hard on the truth. What we want to do is to have fun, and we're all people of nature, so we can talk freely and enjoy it. The original we say talk about this news, you are not an expert ah, even if you are an expert, even if you learn five cars, no one talk about anything he is an expert. But if you just chat, you will not be harsh on what he said is true or false, that his level is high or low, we enjoy the process of communication and chat, it is enough. Until today, this thing is helping me, that was a breakthrough that meant a lot to me because I knew how I should talk on TV. How many years I'd been doing it before that, but it's always been a blur, and of course working in radio for many years helped a little bit.
Despite figuring it out, there are times when really going for it is a matter of bracing yourself and letting go of the tropes so you can really revert back to your true self - that is, how I was meant to talk. We're not used to talking on TV in such a way, we like to talk naturally on TV, but sometimes it takes a lot of unnaturalness to be natural, and it takes a lot of courage to be sincere. On TV, it's easy to tell a lie, your face doesn't turn red and your heart doesn't skip a beat. To tell the truth, you will blush and your heart beats, and this is the process that the host has to go through. In the beginning, there will be people who will scold you, hate you and are not used to it, but Phoenix allows you to flaunt your personality. So I'd say Phoenix really changed me, really changed how I speak!
I'm a person who has no ambition, I won't think about remodeling, to innovate, and I'm a person with a bit of an inferiority complex, and when I come across any challenges, I'm a person who instinctively reacts by cowering. Without Phoenix, I don't know how much I could have done. Sometimes it irrationally gives you some tasks and pressure, it doesn't care if you are suitable or not, it lets you do it, and nine times out of ten, it doesn't work as well as you would like, but the Phoenix allows you to fail, allows you to stay. For example, if a host comes and gives you a program, the audience response is not good, but it does not fire you, you just stay. After a few years and have a thing, you try again.
"Medaka Three", half an hour a day, there have been 2,000 episodes, not to mention that the program is good or bad, the practice for the host of the program, here you have to be alone to speak, but also talk to people, but also listen, but also ask questions, but also want you to grasp the time and rhythm, because this is a live-style taping. Doing this day in and day out was a really good experience for me. But fundamentally, again, it didn't hurt because this ability is something that everyone has. Do you think I'm eloquent? I didn't think so. I stammered a lot on "Medaka", and I often lost my words. This eloquence is at best medium to high in the general population. My focus is not on eloquence, it's more about status than thinking. The most critical issue in our profession is very similar to the acting profession, which is getting into shape. When people get in the zone, it doesn't matter much if they're clumsy and can't get the words right, everyone can sense what you're trying to convey. And when you do not enter the state, what you say is like the corpse of the language, organized into words, said the words are very good ah, but no use.
Once upon a time, when I did a show, I did it from start to finish. I'm more like a craft workshop, not a big industrial age, if I produce a product, then this product from head to toe are made by me, I think the sincerity of a host to the purest, purest point, is to such a degree.
The key issue is that the program needs a stripped-down change, in this regard, it exposes the problems we have in Phoenix. For example, the miracle of Phoenix, according to me is a chivalrous, is so many people wind and clouds, together, there are a lot of irregularities, but also because it is this kind of recklessness, this kind of romanticism, produced a number of miracles, which is normal inside the class can not do out of the thing. But it also produced some problems. What miracle is its miracle? Why do I call it chivalry? Chivalry is what starts with a bang and stops with a bang. Chivalry is characterized by a single hit, a sea of heroes, all at once, but chivalry often ends in tragedy, and chivalry is often something that can only be done once. Chivalry is not honest, unstable, on the program is relying on the spirit of "know it is not possible to do and do" to create a new world and new concepts, then this is entrepreneurship. But when you create a platform, the brand you want to continue to maintain, the brand to be y rooted in people's hearts, this is a day to day to do things, which requires a mechanism to ensure. It started because of people, for example, Medaka Three, it started because of me. Okay, once my energy is diverted, there's not enough input from my side. If you start because of me, I'll get tired of doing it, but you have to hold on to the brand, and you have to do it even if you're tired of it, because it sells money. I don't even want to do it anymore and you want me to do it, so I have to do it. What mechanism do you have to guarantee it? Where's the passion in that chivalry? It's a science, but we've been too ignorant of science in the past. That's what I mean by Phoenix's current crisis. It's actually extremely simple, but that's our legend.
I hope this helps
