There are countless Dong Qing circles in the Chinese Poetry Congress. What made her?

On the CCTV stage, Dong Qing shines brilliantly. Her elegant, calm, modest and intellectual image is deeply rooted in people's hearts.

Many people love her, and many people are curious. What made Dong Qing?

This is a road to growth that has nothing to do with "overnight fame".

"All the aura, applause and praise are not attached to me personally."

This is a strange Lantern Festival, which happens to be midsummer in Australia.

The live broadcast has started. Standing on the stage of Sydney Opera House, Dong Qing is under unprecedented pressure.

She has been closed for a week for this large-scale live concert that connects the Shanghai Grand Theatre and the Sydney Opera House and is broadcast to 27 countries around the world.

After arriving in Sydney, she locked herself in a hotel room, woke up in the morning and began to recite lines, until she fell asleep at night, and even muttered when brushing her teeth. All the Chinese and English lines have long been memorized, but she has no idea what Sydney is like.

Bilingual host, live broadcast, working with foreigners, being in a foreign country … She has too many reasons to be nervous.

But when the scene of Shanghai Grand Theatre spread to the other side of the ocean, she was surprised to find that the two hosts in Shanghai were particularly nervous, and she was relieved immediately.

In the next two hours, the live broadcast was wonderful, smooth and accurate, and Dong Qing's performance was perfect.

The following year, she won the "Golden Microphone" award for the host of the fifth national radio and television program.

At that time, Dong Qing had become a minor celebrity in Shanghai. Her columns such as Meet on Saturday, Audio-visual Star and Travel Notes of New Shanghai were well received. Everything was going on step by step, and at this moment, a new opportunity came.

Just after the Spring Festival in 2002, CCTV set up the Western Channel. Li Yin, director of the channel, was one of the judges of the Golden Microphone Award last year. He was impressed by Dong Qing and strongly recommended Dong Qing to CCTV.

The written test, interview and audition all passed smoothly. At the last minute, Dong Qing hesitated. She works like a duck to water now, and she needs to give up too much to give up all this.

She was not so brave, and she also went through a painful struggle. Finally, she made up her mind and took this step.

"All the aura, applause and praise are not added to me personally, but to the team behind me and to CCTV to which I belong." Obviously, it is CCTV, a platform that gathers talents and faces Chinese in the whole country and the world, that has shaped Dong Qing today.

The background color of life

The platform is built, and it is not enough to have a platform. Opportunities only favor those who are prepared. Dong Qing's experience is a vivid proof.

Dong Qing's parents both graduated from Fudan University, and his father who studied journalism was the deputy editor-in-chief of Jiaxing Daily, and he was very strict with Dong Qing.

Father thinks that it is necessary for children to study, exercise and work. So, Dong Qing was asked to stand on the bench and wash dishes when it was not as high as the sink. After school, morning running becomes a compulsory course every day; After entering high school, Dong Qing went out to work every winter and summer vacation, working as a clerk in a shopping mall, running errands in a radio station and working as a cleaner in a hotel. Father doesn't like this only daughter.

Dong Qing's mother is a good family, smart and kind, and always keeps the house in good order. Although my mother graduated from Fudan physics department, she loves foreign literature very much. Dong Qing's childhood vacation list was always written by her mother, Jane? Foreign classics such as love, Wuthering Heights, war and peace. She is very grateful to her mother for helping her form the habit of reading.

Now, as long as it's not the day when the program runs around, she will spare two hours to read. Dong Qing said that she recently read two books, one is a historical and cultural reader "Heart is like a Fire", explaining the political, economic, cultural and military scenery of Qi during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period; One is Love and Loneliness written by Krishnamurti, a famous Indian spiritual teacher, to enrich his mind.

It is not difficult to see that in this rigid and flexible family, a good family style gives Dong a dignified, polite, diligent and responsible life background.

There is no shortcut.

After entering CCTV, Dong Qing spent a very poor and lonely time.

At that time, the location where the Western Channel recorded the program was far away in Daxing. After recording the program, she stood on the street of Daxing with big bags of clothes and shoes, waiting for a taxi alone in the cold wind.

At that moment, she will remember the scene of recording the last program before leaving Shanghai. "At two o'clock at night, I drove home alone, and my tears kept flowing downwards. At that time, I only knew that this place no longer belonged to me, so I chose to leave voluntarily. No one told me whether this choice was right or wrong. "

Dong Qing's first program on CCTV was Charm 12. The producer was surprised that the new host never recited his lines and dared to make suggestions on the program. He told the directors that you should listen to Dong Qing's opinions more in the future. Encouraged, Dong Qing began to stay up late in every program. Instead of relying solely on the copywriting provided by the screenwriter, she tried to explore the unexpected parts of the producer and director.

Dong Qing endured the test of loneliness and loss, and waited quietly in the process of striving for perfection.

So, 2004 came.

In July of that year, CCTV leaders decided to let Dong Qing try to host the "11th National TV Grand Prix for Young Singers" because of his consistently stable and high-quality performance on the Western Channel. This is an unprecedented challenge, with 30 games for more than 20 days in a row and nearly 3 hours of live broadcast every night. She starts interviewing contestants every afternoon 1, rehearses at 4 pm and ends the live broadcast on 10 in the afternoon. When she gets home, it is usually two o'clock in the morning. At this point, the behind-the-scenes preparations for the next day's recording have just begun, and she must stay up until three or four in the morning to fall asleep. ...

It's a bit miserable, and her physical strength is seriously overdrawn, but she enjoys it.

Then, a "pleasant trip to China" came. From 2004 to 2009, she traveled to more than 200 cities in China in more than five years. Because the plan mainly involves small and medium-sized cities in the central and western regions, some cities have inconvenient transportation and difficult roads. But everywhere she went, she immediately put away the dust and fatigue all the way and walked onto the stage in high spirits.

In this way, in 2004, she completed the hosting of more than 30 programs at/kloc-0.

Later, other hosts asked Dong Qing what her tricks were, and she said, "There is no shortcut. This is how I get through every program. "

I'm afraid I let the audience down.

In 2005, Dong Qing seized the most important opportunity in her life-her first appearance at CCTV Spring Festival Evening was surprisingly wonderful, so the audience remembered and liked this kind new face.

Then, for six years in a row, she played an important role in the Spring Festival Gala and made frequent appearances at more and more important parties, thus becoming the head of CCTV, Hua Dan.

The scenery didn't make her feel high, but she still liked being alone. She said that the stage was too gorgeous and noisy, and she needed to make some adjustments to get herself off the stage. Cleaning, washing clothes and changing the quilt cover, she brought herself back to life in such a simple and homely way.

Dong Qing will never forget a live New Year concert in Shanghai. Without warning, she suddenly stuttered and repeated the sentence twice. Nothing serious. Nobody cares, but she can't let go. It's terrible.

In that year's "Youth Song Competition", she accidentally misread a player's performance. After the live broadcast, the leader said, pay attention in the future. She suddenly lost control of herself and shed tears in front of her colleagues at the meeting.

On one occasion, Dong Qing recorded two programs a day. Because the time was too tight, she felt that she was in a bad state when recording the second program, and others didn't find anything wrong with the program. After returning home, she sat in the living room to reflect, sitting from midnight 12 to 3 am, because she thought, "When others think you have a problem, it will be too late."

In this way, others saw perfection, but she went through hardships. She is almost harsh on herself, just because she is too afraid to disappoint the audience and the stage.

The responsibility of the host

After mistakenly calling Ma Dong "Mr. Ma's son Ma Ji", Ma Dong once comforted Dong Qing: "You have to believe that the audience will forgive you because they can see everything you have done for this stage."

She is grateful for this.

Yes, Dong Qing's perfect performance on the stage is visible to the audience, but her efforts behind the stage are invisible to the audience.

In order to "dig out" the bright spots and sparks of the contestants in the Youth Song Contest, she put aside the words and chatted with every contestant in the audience. Because there are many people, she often talks for hours.

She does her homework every time she goes on stage. At that time, she was invited to host a cultural forum in Shanghai. The organizer had arranged a banquet, but she declined. As long as she ordered a bowl of noodles, she stayed alone in the hotel room to look up information, think and brew until 3 am.

Why did Dong Qing do so many things that the audience couldn't see?

She said two words: responsibility. "Standing here, especially on a platform like CCTV, I didn't come for fame." She is always preparing. "One is long-term preparation, such as reading books and newspapers, accumulating knowledge and making yourself a person with noble character and taste; One is short-term preparation, which is to go all out after receiving the task. "

At the end of 20 10, Dong Qing co-hosted the Sino-Russian transnational family search program "Wait for me". Igor, a Russian host, is a very experienced old host who didn't take Dong Qing seriously at first. But when it was officially recorded, Dong Qing spoke for almost three hours, from telling the ins and outs of six stories, introducing the guests one by one, to the live interview. Later, Igor wrote a special thank-you letter to CCTV, in which Dong Qing, the host of China, was specially mentioned and praised as "an amazing young man".

Dong Qing said: "Work is visible love, and I stand on the stage with a pure heart."

Dong Qing, who said this, has a different kind of brilliance on his face, which is a perfect bloom under heavy pressure. ...
