After the practical camp, Ruiqun entered the CCTV Headquarters to study. Due to her outstanding performance during the internship, she received praise from all the teachers who taught her. Sharing of the CCTV Headquarters learning journey in September: small steps lead to a thousand miles. After her internship ended in the summer, at the end of the year she received an invitation from the CCTV director team to intern in Taiwan again. Due to time constraints, she joined the project team of Hunan Satellite TV.

Let us look forward to Hunan Satellite TV's "Lantern Festival Joy Party" that she participated in the production! "Although I am only a junior in college, but I am already anxious and feel that I have too little experience." Faced with the severe situation of postgraduate entrance examinations and employment, Ruiqun decided to strive for more opportunities for herself. Whenever she sees the program team recruiting people, she submits her resume. She becomes a resume madman, but the result is not as expected. Either it is a dead end, or it is not the right time, or it is the sudden epidemic. She picks up the phone with full expectations and puts it down again and again. , "Some program team will accept me," she said, and this became her most sincere wish. God paid off. At the end of December, I received a call from the program team of Hunan Satellite TV's "Lantern Festival Joy Party".

"Meetings! Meetings! Meetings! There are really many meetings." In the early stage of planning, Ruiqun spent almost all his time in meetings one after another. Watching various sketches, comedies, and related domestic and foreign variety shows became the theme of the meeting. For Ruiqun, the early meetings were not only not boring, but also quite interesting. But soon, meetings became synonymous with “torture.” Meetings began to become a kind of torture because they couldn’t come up with ideas or provide good plans.

"Slowly polishing a script and pushing the program forward step by step will really give you a sense of accomplishment." Refinement, refinement and refinement, watching how a program came from scratch, she herself also grew up with the program and summed up a set of experiences: "For example, when setting up your props, you have to imagine them on the stage. What does it look like on the big screen? You will find that the material you want to provide for the big screen should not be too real, but should be virtual.

"Getting along with her colleagues in the group day and night also allowed her to gain a different kind of "revolutionary friendship." "The two sisters who led us are now able to quickly get our jokes and get along with us, and the teacher heard that I can't celebrate the New Year. When I returned home, they even invited me to their house to have hot pot together.”

Although he couldn’t go home to celebrate the New Year due to the epidemic, Ruiqun, who celebrated the New Year on the spot, had the New Year’s Eve dinner with his roommates and collected I received a big red envelope from the station director: "What I gained from this job is that I can follow the complete planning step by step and know what to do at each step. I will find that it is actually very different from what I learned in school. ". It was the first time to attend a party, the first time to be responsible for a program in detail. This internship was a lot of firsts for her. But life is about trying, and it is always right to give yourself more opportunities. I hope to read these words You can also find opportunities to do what you love.
