As a breath of fresh air in the domestic entertainment variety show market, the "Host Contest" has not only become a large-scale talent recruitment fair for CCTV, but also provided valuable opportunities for hosts across the country to get out of the industry.
In the "Host Contest" that ended in December 2023, another large wave of high-quality hosts stood out. After layers of selection, 6 contestants advanced to the finals. Yang Xu won the gold medal, Liu Xinyue and Zhang Huixin won the silver medal, and Zhang Liangjing , Feng Lin and He Yikun won the bronze medal.
"Host Competition" has become a springboard, and the players who have successfully achieved gold medals in the competition will have a new starting point in their careers. Competition contestants such as Cai Yunyong, Song Xueying, Shi Xiaoge, Yan Shangjia, Gao Haosen, Hou Xueyong, etc. have all been given the opportunity to host programs on CCTV, and some newcomers have even been trained by CCTV.
The ownership of the top six contestants of the "Host Contest" has also become the focus of everyone's attention. Yang Xu and Zhang Jingjing have appeared in CCTV's large-scale gala events many times, and now they have begun to frequently scan their faces on the legal channel and variety show channel. Liu Xinyue hosts the CCTV Spring Festival Gala and has her own regular program "Starting for Happiness" on CCTV. Zhang Huixin also has her own regular program "Choose the Right Health".
Other players embraced CCTV, but Feng Lin drifted away from CCTV and chose a completely different way out.
In the "Host Competition", the young Feng Lin showed her sharpness as soon as she appeared on the stage and became the focus of the audience. Outstanding personality and temperament, online business capabilities, and hot topics have also made Feng Lin the "darling" of the competition.
Feng Lin sang all the way in the "Host Contest" and won the first place with scores in three appearances. Both the professional and public judges scored more than 97 points. Her popularity was not lost to that year's news track champion Zou. Cai Zi, the champion of Yunhe Literature and Art Track.
Everyone thinks that Feng Lin has already stepped into the door of CCTV and may even host the CCTV Spring Festival Gala. But the result was regrettable. Feng Lin continued to complete her studies after the competition. She didn't have many opportunities to appear on CCTV, but she had more and more opportunities to show her face at Dragon TV's large-scale galas.
html On July 6, Feng Lin posted a video on her personal social media saying that she had officially joined Dragon TV. The news of also attracted many netizens to come and watch immediately.
Feng Lin revealed in the video that after graduating from Communication University of China in 2022, she wanted to get out of the safe zone, so she mustered up the courage to apply for graduate schools across majors, and was eventually admitted to the School of Journalism at Fudan University. In the past two years, while learning professional knowledge and doing various internships, I gradually became clear about my direction.
Feng Lin said frankly that she loves the city of Shanghai. She had already planted the seeds in her heart when she came to Shanghai in junior high school. I first became acquainted with Dragon TV in 2021. In that year's "Anchor Has a Newcomer", "Dare to face failure" and "Fall down repeatedly and then stand up again" were the graduation speeches I left on the stage at that time, and now I have graduated from Dragon TV. Set off again.
Under Feng Lin’s video, some netizens asked her why she didn’t choose CCTV. Feng Lin replied: Knowing what you want is more important than what others say you need.
Some netizens still refused to give up. They felt sorry for Feng Lin and lamented, "Why didn't such a powerful person join CCTV?" Feng Lin replied: The yearning for Shanghai was planted in my heart when I was a teenager.
It is not difficult to find from Feng Lin's interactions with netizens that she is very yearning and determined to join Dragon TV, and her answers can be said to be sober in the world.
In the opinion of many people, a large platform like CCTV has more development prospects. Feng Lin’s first choice should be CCTV. So what is Feng Lin’s choice?
First of all, Dragon TV is more willing to cultivate Feng Lin.
Before participating in the host competition, Feng Lin had already made a name for herself in Dragon TV's large-scale evening parties.After the competition, Feng Lin's status in Dragon TV has steadily improved. Feng Lin has become a regular host of Dragon TV New Year's Eve Party and Dragon TV Spring Festival Gala. Feng Lin has appeared in major evening events such as the Magnolia Awards Ceremony and the Film and Television Music Festival that ended previously. opportunity to perform.
Compared with hosts such as He Qing and Yi Yi, Dragon TV is obviously more willing to spend time cultivating young Feng Lin. If she stays at Dragon TV, Feng Lin is likely to become a leading actress in the future. CCTV is full of talents, and the many opportunities also mean greater competitive pressure. If Feng Lin goes there, she may not necessarily have a chance to get ahead.
Secondly, when I was young, I longed for the city of Shanghai.
You can also feel from Feng Lin’s video that she is more obsessed with the city of Shanghai. She was born in Haiyan, Jiaxing, Zhejiang. She is a typical southern girl. Shanghai is closer to home, and the food and culture are closer, making it more attractive than Beijing.
Feng Lin came to Fudan University from Communication University of China, not only because she liked Shanghai personally, but also because she was planning for her future career development, so joining Dragon TV was a natural progression.
Finally, satellite TV has fewer restrictions than CCTV.
Everyone aspires to a big stage like CCTV, but behind the glamor of the host there are also many involuntaries. For example, celebrities such as Ouyang Xiadan and Li Sisi have chosen to develop on short video platforms.
Cai Zi, the winner of the 2019 "Host Contest", also did not choose to join CCTV. She bravely chose to travel in the market and become a host in a relatively free and comfortable capacity.
Feng Lin is still a recent graduate, and her career path is still long. She needs to improve herself step by step. Dragon TV is the platform that just gives her the opportunity, so it is understandable that she chooses Dragon TV.
Working in a satellite TV will be less restrictive. Feng Lin will also have more opportunities to try to transform. It is not impossible to develop in multiple areas of film and television in the future.
Do you have anything to say about Feng Lin joining Dragon TV?
