Lu Yu, interviewed 10000 people. Actually, you don't know her.

After 28 years as a host, Chen Luyu thinks he is an introvert at heart. "I have serious social fears." .

At work, she can easily start a dialogue with guests-"Lu Yu You Yue" has been broadcast for nearly 20 years, and she has recorded more than 3,000 programs and interviewed tens of thousands of people.

But in life, she resists busy occasions and is used to being alone. It is a difficult project for her to have dinner with anyone except her family and close friends.

Lu Yu told ten people, "I am an immune person. I'm just taking a polite look at other people's lives from a distance. I won't go in unless you invite me. " She paused. "But I am still grateful for this job. By reading a part of another person's life, I feel awe of life. "

Social phobia patient

On the day of the interview, Lu Yu had just finished recording a talk show with his friend Ma Weiwei. They met in 20 14 variety super speaker, with Lu Yu as the mentor and Ma Weiwei as the Lu Yu team player.

The dialogue revolves around Lu Yu's new book Believe it or not. As soon as they met, Ma Weiwei told her, "I think your writing is much more witty than your real life."

In these years, Lu Yu rarely shows his life to the public.

She doesn't have Weibo, and her circle of friends is limited. Tik Tok's account was opened only two days ago, and her colleagues in the studio are taking care of it. She rarely gives interviews, and she never responds to disputes, speculations and curiosity from outside.

Lu Yu attaches great importance to "courtesy" and "sense of realm".

During the chat, Ma Weiwei mentioned that once she moved alone and suddenly fainted when she went downstairs to buy water. Thinking of the bitterness of Beipiao, she couldn't help sitting on the side of the road and crying, which attracted passers-by to look askance.

Lu Yu won't allow this to happen to him. "Even if I want to cry, I will hold it until the moved master leaves, tips others, says goodbye, and closes the door before crying. This is me. "

One of the few moments that can be called expressing one's heart, Lu Yu left it to words.

Six years ago, Lu Yu started writing a column on the official WeChat account "Luyu has an appointment". There are more young girls in the readers, and most of the backstage letters are about the troubles in love and marriage, and they are also confused about the future.

Lu Yu chooses a topic of interest every week, writes a letter first, and then arranges it into audio. When she wrote it alone, she felt that she was "relaxed a lot and a little bolder."

In the book, Lu Yu admits that he is a "complete introvert":

In Ma Weiwei's impression, Lu Yu's favorite activities are lying flat and sitting quietly. Go home after work, take off makeup, take a shower, and then lie on the sofa to eat fruit, read books and watch American dramas. I stayed indoors for several days and didn't see anyone.

This kind of life makes Lu Yu feel relaxed and safe. "I occasionally force myself to go out and contact the world. Many times, I will let myself exist in the most comfortable way like today. "

But once she enters the working mode, she can quickly switch to another state, skillfully start a dialogue with the guests, and quickly narrow the distance between people.

The endless interview made countless stars and ordinary people sit on her yellow sofa and tell the audience about their lives.

Today, "Lu Yu You Yue" has been broadcast for nearly 20 years. Anyone who looks at it is a story about persistence.

But Lu Yu thought she didn't "insist". She said, "I just stumbled in the only way I could, and it happened that I got here smoothly."

Born this way

Since junior high school, Lu Yu has found that he has two outstanding abilities, one is language ability and the other is memory.

One summer vacation, she went to Shanghai to stay with her grandparents. There is an English corner in the People's Park near my home. Many English lovers hang out here every day.

Lu Yu didn't study English for a long time, and only knew a few simple words and sentences. But she is not worried, standing among a group of uncles and aunts, introducing herself loudly in English:

"My name is Chen Luyu. I am a junior one student in experimental middle school of Beijing Normal University. My parents work in China Radio International ... "

People surrounded her three floors away, and everyone wanted to see whose child this magical little girl was.

In high school, Lu Yu was the "last line of defense" for English teachers. She always answers questions that the whole class can't answer.

Once, the teacher recited the text at will, and the first six students were killed one after another. Lu Yu took five minutes to take shorthand and recited the whole article word for word.

18 years old, Lu Yu successfully entered the international journalism major of Beijing Radio and Television Institute (now China Communication University). Years later, she concluded, "English has not changed my fate, but it has opened a door for me."

199 1 winter, junior year in Lu Yu. Beijing held an English speech contest for the Olympic bid, and she won the first place.

Two months later, Zhang Xiaohai, director of the Literature and Art Department of CCTV, came to the school to choose the host. Originally, the teacher only informed the broadcasting students to participate, but Lu Yu was called to the scene as an exception because he won the prize in the English competition.

Among a group of broadcast girls with long hair and clear pronunciation, Lu Yu with short hair seems out of place.

In an impromptu interview, Lu Yu picked up the receiver and asked Zhang Xiaohai, "Why do all the directors of the art department have beards? You, Zhao An, Zhang Ziyang. Is the competition between you fierce? "

Sharp and straightforward questions made Zhang Xiaohai sweat and Lu Yu stand out. Before graduating from college, Lu Yu entered CCTV to host Art Garden Scenery, which was the beginning of her TV career.

Looking back now, Lu Yu feels very lucky. "I have hardly experienced the difficult start that a newcomer usually has to go through. I am down and out, and I can only be content with perfection. I always seem to be a clueless, reckless and naive person. " A friend told her fortune and said to her, "You worked hard, but you didn't go into the wrong business."

1996, Lu Yu came to Hongkong and joined Phoenix TV. After hosting a music program for two years, she was sent to host a morning news program, Phoenix Early Bus.

During that time, Lu Yu got up at 4 am every day, and when he left home at 4: 30, the city was still dark. On the busy street at ordinary times, only the click of her shoes can be heard.

In the dressing room, she spread all the newspapers of the day on the table and read them intently for two hours.

At 7 o'clock 15, she walked into the studio. The corridor between the dressing room and the studio is 50 meters. She walked steadily because she was afraid of shaking her head and forgot the news she had just remembered.

At 7: 30, the program starts on time and ends in half an hour.

At 8 o'clock, the normal office workers left home, and Lu Yu walked home against the crowd and had a rest. She also has to host 12 noon Phoenix Noon Express.

From March 1998 to the end of June 1999, Lu Yu's "Phoenix Early Bus" set off a "news-telling" craze in China TV programs.

She became famous and quickly became the director of Phoenix TV, Hua Dan. In 2000, she was also named the best hostess of the year in China TV list.

However, the intensity of working five days a week and sleeping less than five hours a day on average also brought her to the brink of collapse.

Considering that there are more and more "news-telling" programs in China, Lu Yu applied to Taiwan Province to quit "Phoenix Morning Bus" and formed a small team of three or four people to do this program that she had been thinking about and planning for a long time.

Luyu has about twenty years.

It is Lu Yu's long-cherished wish to make a talk show named after himself.

From 65438 to 0994, Lu Yu went to study in the United States and saw oprah winfrey's talk show for the first time on TV. Since then, she has been eager to do a daily program:

There is a comfortable sofa in the field. It should be yellow. She sits on the left side of the sofa-because she thinks her left face is more photogenic, and different people sit on the right side every day. There is a big screen TV behind the sofa. In the conversation, interspersed with some pre-edited short films.

In 2002, The Covenant between Lu and Yu was released, and Mao Amin was the guest of the first issue.

At that time, Mao Amin was caught in a tax case, and his feelings changed, which was very controversial. But one of them asked sincerely and the other answered frankly, which gave the program a nearly perfect start.

At first, Lu Yu You Yue was a weekly program. Although the first issue won a double harvest of word-of-mouth and ratings, it really became a national talk show, from weekly broadcast to daily broadcast.

On June 65438+ 10/day, 2005, the new edition of "Lu Yu You Yue" was broadcast simultaneously on the Chinese channel of Phoenix Satellite TV and more than 20 provincial satellite TV stations in the mainland, and the energy company specially established to produce "Lu Yu You Yue" was also released at the same time.

Lu Yu recorded his day in his autobiography "Heart Meeting":

Lu Yu is very strict about his work. At noon every day, as soon as the program is over, the cast is still walking. No matter where the producer is, he will wait for Lu Yu's desperate call with his mobile phone.

She laughed at herself for always "angrily getting to the point". The lighting is bad, the eye shadow is too deep, the lens is not cut when the audience laughs, and there are typos in the subtitles-8 of the typos in10 were discovered by Lu Yu.

In just one year and eight months, Lu Yu recorded 500 episodes and interviewed more than 1000 guests.

When the dance department rearranged the stage, it was found that the emaciated Lu Yu actually sat out of a hole in the sofa. "New Weekly" awarded her the host award in 2005 in recognition of her "diligence as a model worker".

"Listening to other people's stories every day is very tiring," Lu Yu told me. "I am exhausted because I am distracted."

But she still likes the process. "I am curious about people and sensitive enough. In the end, you will find that every life is not easy, which makes you look at some problems in life more objectively. "

However, high-density interviews also brought her overwhelming controversy a few years later.

A group of interview clips circulated on the Internet, accusing her of "not doing homework", "chatting" and "low emotional intelligence".

Ma Weiwei asked Lu Yu: "How to ensure high efficiency and high quality in the case of heavy workload?"

Lu Yu bluntly said, "In fact, everyone who makes content has much higher requirements for himself than the public. Often high efficiency and high quality can only be taken into account, and it is difficult to ensure high quality when it is particularly efficient. The pace of TV is very fast, and I will be willing to sacrifice efficiency for quality. But sometimes I can't have this luxury. "

The misunderstanding may exist, but she didn't explain it publicly. She always feels that "it's useless to explain, and it's not someone else's responsibility to understand you."

Change is happening quietly.

From 20 16, "Lu Yu You Yue" was recorded in the shed and changed to "Lu Yu You Tian Yi Xing", which means that she has to spend several times longer time with the interviewees than before.

Two years ago, I did "see you later". In order to interview Yang Lijuan, Lu Yu and Yang Lijuan went to Lanzhou together, crowded the bus and visited the supermarket.

They sat by the lake and chatted about their idol Andy Lau, whom they had madly loved, and about his father who committed suicide because of himself. Yang Lijuan was emotional and shed tears. Lu Yu said nothing but gave her a gentle hug on the shoulder.

In a recent program, she interviewed Chen Jianbin. They were sitting in a restaurant eating instant-boiled mutton. Lu Yu asked him, can you cook? Chen Jianbin instinctively denied it.

Lu Yu asked, "Didn't you do it when you helped the kitchen?" Chen Jianbin was shocked and smiled. "I don't remember it being so long."

Choose life

"If I had to choose between my dream and my life, I would choose today's life." Lu Yu said.

She has been working all these years. "The education of our generation has some elements of overcorrection. The teacher told us from an early age that we should be self-reliant and devote ourselves to our careers. Life is meaningless. Doing housework is too trivial, neither great nor noble. We are people who do great things. "

But she doesn't regret working hard in those years. "I won't use today's standards to entangle the choices of the year. At that time, I should work hard. "

Outside of work, Lu Yu admits that he is not a person who is interested in life.

She can't cook, clean the room, keep a dog, roll a cat or grow flowers. Her daily entertainment is reading books and watching plays. In Beijing's present home, she has been carrying a bag for ten years. She thinks the wallpaper is ugly, but she has been too lazy to change it.

She resists everything with a strong sense of form. After all, what she faces every day in her work is stage, lighting and process. It is really impossible to imagine making her life a never-ending show.

Living alone gives Lu Yu freedom, but sometimes she is afraid that "moderate loneliness" will become "loneliness".

Believe it or not, she wrote that once she went to Lane Crawford to buy towels, and when she thought of a deserted home, she specially chose two colors of bath towels and face towels, rose red and light yellow, for two people each, and bought a big bag.

Lu Yu doesn't think she can enjoy a person's life, except that she has no living space, which often makes her feel depressed.

"I always feel that buying an extra towel is tantamount to admitting that a person's life is not so self-sufficient and self-satisfied. Sometimes he will be afraid and lost, but he may also get rid of living alone."

In the past two years, various media reports will constantly remind her that she is a middle-aged woman who is nearly 50 years old.

Even if she doesn't feel so strongly about the passage of time and the growth of age, "but society has not forgotten your age, nor what a woman should look like when she reaches a certain age."

Lu Yu is not particularly satisfied with the status quo, but he accepts it.

Will a mature, independent, single and childless professional woman be happy in the future? Lu Yu is not sure. However, she is in no hurry to know the result.

After 28 years as a host, she interviewed all kinds of people. After listening to so many stories, she felt relieved of some problems in her life. "Do it, go ahead, and time will give you the answer."

Let's see, I hope we can all enjoy life and not be afraid of time.
