Suddenly a prisoner turned his head and said to the person next to him, "Why do I see you so familiar?"
The person next to him pointed at the TV and answered slowly, "That's what I used to do."
He is the earliest founder and host of Focus Interview.
In the past, he and Jing Yidan, Bai and Shui Junyi were called the four national faces of CCTV. Now he can only squat in the detention center all day.
He is Fang Hongjin, a host who is gradually forgotten by the audience.
From the respected "Mr. Fang" to the ruined prisoners, even his own daughter came out to "ask for directions" after her career failed.
Today, I will tell the story of Fang Hongjin.
196 1 year, Fang Hongjin was born in Kaiping, Guangdong. His father is a captain and his mother is a journalist. He received a good education from an early age.
1979 was admitted to the Physics Department of Sun Yat-sen University, and was admitted to the Graduate School of Sociology of Nankai University two years after graduation.
From 65438 to 0986, Fang Hongjin graduated. At the age of 25, he was hired by Shenzhen University as a teacher in the Department of Management, and also held the important position of deputy director of the Department.
By chance, Fang Hongjin participated in the recording of an economic program on Beijing TV, which made him formally attached to the news column.
He was determined to be a column to report social problems in depth, so Focus Interview, which "speaks with facts", was born.
He is not only the founder of this program, but also a senior host of the program.
At the beginning of the program, He, Jing Yidan, Bai and Shui Junyi took turns to host the program, tracking and commenting on public opinion events in the society.
Because the topic attracted the audience's attention, this program has always maintained a high ratings.
It is said that many officials will regard this program as their daily compulsory course, and even if they miss anything, they will let their assistants finish it in time and make up lessons for themselves.
As the host of such a high-standard program, Fang Hongjin is gradually known to the national audience.
Because he still hasn't given up teaching in Shenzhen University during his tenure, people around him will affectionately call him Mr. Fang.
In addition to Focus Interview, Fang Hongjin also hosted programs such as Observation and Thinking and Oriental Time and Space.
1998, Fang Hongjin is ready to quit his job as a university teacher and formally join CCTV.
What he didn't expect was that although he had been in charge of CCTV for 8 years, the leaders still wanted him to have a one-year probation period to become a full member.
Fang Hongjin, a young man, suddenly became very angry. He has been trying for seven or eight years. Since you want to get me into trouble, I'll go away!
In this way, Fang Hongjin jumped ship and went to Oriental TV, ready to start from scratch with all his talents.
He posted CCTV programs on his desk, and others thought he was still reluctant to part with CCTV. Only he understands that he has long regarded CCTV as his biggest competitor.
One day, I will do a news program beyond CCTV.
A few years later, Fang Hongjin's "ambition" was not realized, and he gradually lost interest in journalism.
After leaving Oriental TV silently, he embarked on the road of doing business in the sea, but this choice made his life fall directly into the trough.
In 2009, he signed a contract to place an advertisement in a column drama of a product, but I didn't expect the drama to be released as scheduled. All the deposits received in advance were paid to Shui Piao, and the brand was very angry and sued Fang Hongjin for fraud.
Although the brand lost the case due to insufficient evidence, Fang Hongjin became an online fugitive because he didn't cooperate with the police to take notes.
In the detention center, the TV is playing the "Focus Interview" that I once founded. Unfortunately, on impulse, I took the opposite path to my former colleagues.
During his business career, Fang Hongjin owed a lot of debts. He chose to run away from home to avoid debt, but his innocent wife and daughter became the biggest victims.
My father lost contact for four years, but debt collectors often make trouble at home. Looking at her struggling mother in poor health, her daughter Fang Zhen exposed her father's actions on social platforms.
Cheating, domestic violence, regardless of his wife and daughter, with Zhen Fang's voice, everyone slowly saw the unknown side of CCTV's famous mouth.
After the incident, Fang Hongjin tricked her daughter into deleting Weibo, and then turned to the media and said that this account was not her daughter's.
In order to prove her identity, her daughter Fang Zhen had to carry out real-name authentication overnight, and also released her student ID photo.
This farce ended in the couple's disgraceful divorce lawsuit, and Fang Hongjin's reputation was completely ruined and faded out of everyone's field of vision.
In the past two years, Fang Hongjin returned to the Jianghu and began to sell classes live. Thanks to the recommendation of his colleague Bai, his online course has been purchased nearly 3000 times.
As a matter of fact, it is not difficult for a man of great learning like Fang Hongjin to make a comeback. Although the reputation is not as good as in the past, it is always easier to get along with than ordinary people.
But as a public figure, talent is important, and character and morality are equally indispensable.
I hope that in the days to come, Fang Hongjin can learn from the past and take every step in a down-to-earth manner.
