CCTV's "High-end Interview" was launched, and the popular bilingual host Zou Yun took the lead and performed very well.
At 21:30 on the evening of October 14th, CCTV News Channel launched the interview program "High-end Interview". The program exclusively interviews heads of state, government and heads of international organizations, and the host conducts interviews with international dignitaries on global hot topics. Personally, I feel that it was "High-end Interview" hosted by Shui Junyi in the past, and the name of the program is only one word difference. Shui Junyi has hosted "High-end Interview" for 5 years. He is both a reporter and a host. He has interviewed hundreds of celebrities and dignitaries, and his footsteps are all over the world.
"High-end Interview" is based on the new changes in the international landscape, the new challenges of global governance and the new heights of China's diplomacy, emphasizing the high-end characters, frontier topics and broad thinking and strategy. The first episode, broadcast on October 14, interviewed Indonesian President Joko Widodo in Bali, Indonesia. The president, who was born and raised by the Solo River, told his observations on the world situation, his outlook on the G20 summit, his outlook on China-Indonesia relations, and shared his unique personal growth story. The program is very in-depth.
It is worth noting that the first host of "High-end Interview" is Zou Yun. This is the first independent interview program she has taken over since she joined CCTV News Channel two years ago. Zou Yun interviewed in English throughout the whole process, her brows were full of excitement, her facial expressions were vivid, and she was confident and calm. Five years of experience as a journalist in the United States has given Zou Yun a listening level and fluent expression skills close to that of simultaneous interpreters. The dialogue between Zou Yun and the Indonesian President was an equal and friendly one. There was sincerity in the eyes of both sides, and there was no sense of oppression in the communication.
In addition to talking about international hot issues, Zou Yun also asked the Indonesian President two personal questions. One was why he only likes to wear that kind of shoes? The other is to ask him what information he wants to convey when he is active on social platforms? When it comes to cultural exchanges between China and Indonesia, Zou Yun talked about two Indonesian folk songs "Xingxing Suo" and "Ouch Mom" that are familiar to Chinese audiences, and hummed a few lines on the spot, obviously prepared come. The originally serious atmosphere suddenly became much more relaxed and natural, and even the Indonesian President couldn't help showing a happy smile.
Faced with international dignitaries, Zou Yun did not show nervousness. Instead, she kept throwing questions in a timely manner, listening carefully to the other party's answers, keeping the rhythm in place, and her voice and tone were just right. Personal image plus points, Zou Yun chose a white skirt and a shirt with a tropical pattern, and then matched it with a light green small suit. This dress is recognizable, dignified and beautiful, intellectual and generous, and has an elegant temperament. If you insist on the shortcomings, it is the mole on the top of the mouth that cannot be covered by makeup and filters, which is very obvious when close-up.
Zou Yun's bilingual interview strength is unquestionable. She has served as the oral translator for important events of the main station for many times, and everyone has seen it in the 2019 CCTV host competition. Zou Yun, who was still a reporter for CGTN at the time, not only won the championship in the news category, but was praised repeatedly for her performance in the competition. Whether it is news commentary with an international perspective, quick and acute temporary response, and impeccable oral English presentation, Zou Yun has shown the high quality of a mature, intelligent and rational news host.
"High-end Interview" has arranged three hosts in total, in addition to Zou Yun, there are CGTN's crown, CCTV news channel "Global Vision" host Li Jiao. All three are popular bilingual hosts of the main station in recent years. Zou Yun and Wang Guan have both worked as reporters in the United States. After returning to China, they both worked at the CGTN headquarters in Beijing. They are also widely known reporter-type hosts.
