Chapter Seventy-Two: Dialogue
The program invitation Gu Zhi received was not a variety show, but CCTV's "Dialogue".
The "Dialogue" column is a new revision of CCTV Financial Channel in July 2000, which launched a studio talk program, which is a rigorous and high-end serious program.
Although it is broadcast on the financial channel, the content involved in the "Dialogue" column is varied and varied.
The program mainly focuses on the current emergencies, hot people, hot topics or prominent economic phenomena, and explores the real thoughts and experiences behind hot events through full dialogue and communication between the host, guests and the audience.
To put it bluntly, you ask me and I answer, and use sharp and direct questions to force out the true thoughts of the characters.
This "Dialogue" is definitely not like a variety show, just chatting nonsense, preparing the script in advance, and chatting casually in the general direction.
Participating in this show, for Gu Zhi, the benefit is too small. He didn't want to go at all.
The audience for this type of show is mostly over 30 years old, and it is broadcast on the CCAV2 financial channel every Sunday at 21:52.
Where is there a young person who will go to watch the financial channel, let alone the broadcast time so late.
Gu Zhi's current fan base is mainly young people, especially students, and the basic plate of the "Dialogue" column does not overlap with him at all.
Being on this show, let alone promoting a movie, is pure dreaming.
Most of them have to be criticized by a group of old antiques, if you speak a little carelessly, it is certain that you will be scolded, and if you don't do it, you have to buckle him up with a few big hats such as "rebellious teenager", "under education", "malicious hype" and so on.
Hearing the news from Han Sanping, Gu Zhi's first reaction was undoubtedly to refuse, but Han Sanping's reaction was faster than his, and before he could speak, he said directly: "You have to go, there is no need to discuss." ”
Well, the third master has spoken in person, presumably CCTV has also used some connections, he can get on it if he wants to, and he has to go if he doesn't want to.
Gu is obsessive, and he is on it, but the big deal is to tear it up, tear it up with the column, and not tear it up with CCTV.
On the morning of December 21, Gu Zhi took a taxi to the CCTV headquarters, at which time the CCTV pants had not yet been built, and the headquarters was still located in an ordinary building.
Before coming, Gu Zhi deliberately went to cut a clean and refreshing hairstyle.
Plus a handsome suit?
That's impossible, just a set of light-colored casual clothes, he went to chat and tear up, not to pretend to be forced, what kind of handsome suit to wear.
The host of "Dialogue" is called Wang Yan, Gu Zhi has never heard of this person, and he is definitely not a famous host.
He watched this show twice in his last life, and the host at that time was Chen Weihong, it seems that Comrade Wang Yan has probably resigned from CCTV, otherwise CCTV will not generally change the host of a program.
Not much to say, Gu Zhi and the host said a few simple and shabby words in the background, and the "Dialogue" column officially began to be recorded.
It's not time for Gu Zhi to come on the stage, and he has to wait until the host chats with the other two guests for a while before he can play.
In this show, the hot characters were not the first to appear, no wonder no one watched it.
With a round of applause from the audience, "Dialogue" began.
"Hello audience friends, welcome to the scene of "Dialogue" and talk with us.
"As you may have noticed, I have a total of three books in my hands, each of which has sold more than 300,000 copies, namely "Wukong Writing", "No Difficult Road", and "Those Years". ”
And the most interesting thing about these three books is their author, a 17-year-old high school dropout. ”
"Gu Zhi!"
Speaking of this, someone at the scene couldn't help but call out Gu Zhi's name, and he could hear it clearly while sitting in the background.
The host Wang Yan smiled slightly and continued: "That's right, I believe everyone has already guessed who this author is, he is Gu Zhi, and his fans prefer to call him another more affectionate nickname - classmate Gu." ”
Gu Zhi not only writes books, he also writes scripts and movies, and his first film "Butterfly Effect" believes that many audiences present have gone to the cinema to see it. This movie is known as the first science fiction movie in China, and after its release at the end of September, the box office has approached 80 million, reaching more than 78 million, exceeding the two blockbusters in the same period. ”
"Now that his second film has been filmed, last week he wrote a new song for the new film, "I Believe", which can be heard every day on the streets, and to be honest with everyone, I can hear it every day on the way to work, and now I can sing it. ”
"Writing books, making movies, and writing songs, over the past year, we have been seeing Gu Zhi's news on the Internet and in newspapers, and we will pay attention to Gu Zhi now. ”
"Today, we are paying attention to Gu Zhi with Mr. Chen Ming, a doctoral supervisor of the Institute of Literature of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences. ”
There was another round of applause.
There is also Mr. Cheng Yongming, who is from Jingcheng University and is engaged in education research. ”
Two academic celebrities appeared on the stage, and Gu Zhi was still sitting on the cold bench in the background.
"Welcome two, I think we will first get to know Gu Zhi through the big screen. ”
A small short film about Gu Zhi began to play on the big screen in the rear, which was actually a video and audio to repeat what the host said above.
At the end of the short film, the focus returned to the recording site, and the host could be regarded as starting a conversation.
"Two guests, it's impossible for you not to know Gu Zhi, right?"
"I've heard of it. Teacher Chen Ming replied with a smile.
"What's the impression?"
"Hmm... Very, very surprising, it is unbelievable that a seventeen or eighteen-year-old high school student has achieved so much in just one year, it is simply incredible. ”
After Chen Ming finished speaking, another foreign guest, Cheng Yongming, replied: "The first time I saw his novel, I still wondered if someone ghostwrote, how could a child write so many works in such a short period of time, and each of them was sought after by the public, even if it was an adult, it was difficult for him to achieve such an achievement, not to mention that he didn't even graduate from high school." ”
"Do you still have that view?"
Cheng Yongming laughed self-deprecatingly and shook his head.
"No, there are so many impossible things happening to him, maybe he really is a miracle. After a while he'll make a big piece of news, and I'm numb. ”
Chen Ming added on the side: "Gu Zhi can become a phenomenon, thanks to our times, is undergoing tremendous changes, if you go back to ten years ago, our market economy is not so developed, all walks of life do not have the space to operate freely, the media does not have so much dominance over the society, then it is difficult for Gu Zhi to achieve the current achievement." ”
"You mean, the times create heroes, and the most important condition for Gu Zhi's success is this era, not himself?"
