In May 2008, Meng Fei asked Chen Yi in the " Very Weekend " special program: As a 30-year-old female host, where is your future?
A month before Meng Fei asked this question, Chen Yi announced her withdrawal from the "Extraordinary Weekend" host choice 2 out of 3, ending her 10-year hosting career of "Extraordinary Weekend".
For Chen Yi now, "Extraordinary Weekend" is like his former lover, like the song "When Love Is a Thing of the Past".
It’s another 10 years, and “New@Very Weekend” will be launched soon.
As an iconic figure, Chen Yi will appear in the first two live broadcasts of "New@Very Weekend".
When 2018 came, Chen Yi accepted an exclusive interview.

They referred to "Very Weekend" as "Feizhou", including Chen Yi, Jinbo , Lu Zhirui, Cao Yang, Yi Zhihua... and everyone related to this program.
In fact, there is no particularly big connection between "New Fei Zhou" and "Fei Zhou". If anything, it's the host and everyone's feelings for Jiangsu Variety Show and "Feizhou".
"New Africa Week" will be unveiled on January 6th, every Saturday and Sunday, starting at 18:18 and ending at 23:00.
Chen Yi is confirmed to appear in the live broadcast room of "New Feizhou" on January 6th and 7th. It has been 10 years since she bid farewell to the "Feizhou" stage.
In the first ten years of Chen Yi’s hosting career, she experienced physical and mental hardships. ——Sharpening, people often say this. But for Chen Yi, this kind of tempering is more secretive.
As a host, Chen Yi’s career started very smoothly, even a bit dreamy.
html At the age of 119, he was admitted to Jiangsu Cable Channel (later renamed Jiangsu Variety Show) with the first place. He started hosting "Extraordinary Weekend" at the age of 20 and became popular in Jiangsu.
The title of Jiangsu National Goddess is not an exaggeration for Chen Yi.
Looking back on the first few years of "Feizhou", Chen Yi thinks that she does not have a particularly outstanding image, nor does she have particularly outstanding hosting skills. She is just a little girl who expresses her emotions naturally.
Anyone who has watched "Fei Zhou" will remember the moment when Chen Yi smiled and exposed her 8 teeth, and how she looked like she was crying.
Of course, there is also the sentence "I am going to travel around the world with my little bag on my back."

Two or three years after "Feizhou" started airing, Chen Yi, who was at the high point of her career, considered leaving. She doesn't think she is a variety show star of that era.
Whether it is Tao Jingying in "Amuro Aimihui" who was borrowed by "Feizhou", or Xie Na in " Happy Camp ", Chen Yi is different from them.
"I'm going to travel around the world with my little bag on my back." When Chen Yi said this sentence, every audience had their own "Chen Ai'ai" in their hearts.
Chen Yi also has her own version of herself. She has acted in TV series and sung songs, and is planning her own future to break through "Chen Ai'ai".
In 2003, something happened to Zhang Tao. This is a turning point for both "Fei Zhou" and Chen Yi.
In that issue of "The Sound of the Waves Remains", we bid farewell to Zhang Tao and also bid farewell to the little girl Chen Yi.
She just didn't expect that Zhang Tao's departure would have more than just a mental impact on her. She started getting acne. One year, two years, three years... it gets worse every year.
She began to be afraid of meeting people, including friends.
will suffer from insomnia due to low mood, and the workload at that stage is very heavy. There are programs on Jiangsu Channel, Beijing Channel , and Central Station . Frequent flying and alternating day and night make the skin overwhelmed.
Sometimes life is so dramatic. What I once thought was a part of my confidence has become the heaviest burden at that moment.
may not be a big deal, but for her perfectionist, this is indeed a long and difficult test.
During those few years, she avoided eating all kinds of foods that might cause acne, rarely ate out, and underwent many treatments, but she did not get better.
She bought countless hats. In addition to covering acne, this seemed to give her the last bit of security.
After endless sleepless nights.
Fortunately, I held on and survived. Chen Yi also ushered in a turning point in her life: 2008.

Ten years ago, in the eyes of the audience, Chen Yi was still the glamorous host. But in her own heart, there is only two words: change.
In the 2008 "Feizhou" host's 2-out-of-3 finals, Chen Yi announced her retirement, which meant that she would leave the "Feizhou" stage that she had hosted for 10 years.
This is a temporary decision.
Although I had thought about saying goodbye a long time ago, it was only a week before the finals that Chen Yi really thought about this issue.
"What will happen if Chen Yi leaves?"
When this decision came to Chen Yi, she felt it was a kind of providence. Suddenly relaxed, and suddenly empowered about the future.
If we use the relationship between the sexes to compare Chen Yi and "Fei Zhou", it would be like they have made each other successful, but also trapped each other to a certain extent. At that time, letting go was the best outcome.
Chen Yi has changed her look countless times in "Fei Zhou", almost every issue is different. On the "Feizhou" stage, Chen Yi was replaced by 6 male hosts. Fate allowed her to persist for 10 years.
After the decision was made, the audience was in an uproar. Meng Fei later asked Chen Yi in the special program: As a 30-year-old female host, where is your future?
She also asked herself, "What should I do in the next 5-10 years?"
She went to see a teacher whom she respected very much, "Maybe you should not be thinking about 5-10 years, but what you will do in 30 years. What kind of woman do you want to be?”
Although she can’t predict where she will be or what she will do in 30 years, she knows exactly what kind of woman she wants to be.
Looking back on her life, Chen Yi made the next decision to study abroad.
She came to London carrying her own small bag. She thought that maybe this time it was not only "Fei Zhou" who was bidding farewell, but maybe she would not be a host again in the future.

2008 was the lowest point for Chen Yi. Various rumors also appeared about her.
These rumors made Chen Yi sigh, "It turns out that there are really untrue things in the world."
An acquaintance once asked Chen Yi, why do you never take the initiative to explain. Chen Yi was helpless because she didn't like explanations, and it would probably be useless if she explained.
In other words, "For those who really love me, there is no need to explain. For those who don't care about me, there is no need to explain."
After studying abroad, Chen Yi returned to China and became a host again. My mood at this time was completely different from when I left.
This state of mind can be summed up by Chen Yi in eight words: I miss you deeply, and I will never forget it.
From letting nature take its course, to not forgetting the original intention, being persistent and pure, and then to the ultimate perfection, the hardships Chen Yi has experienced have become the best diamond gifts given by time.
At this time, she can choose what she likes and enjoys the most. Everything in the past seemed calm and relaxed. Chen Yi was not only the host, but also herself.
She hosted the financial program "Chen Yi Peak Interview", and then hosted "Perfect" and "It's Not Too Late".
On the stage, Chen Yi felt the state of "breathing with the live staff and the live audience". This state is what Chen Yi believes is the best state for a host.
"The outside world's curiosity about me and the 'mystery' I have always had inexplicably have become a certain chemical effect on my way forward... One thing I am very proud of these years is that no matter how things change, I have never given up on self-cultivation and hard work, and at this stage I am very confident in myself and will not forget everyone who has sincerely helped me along the way."
From the beginning in 1998 to the low point in 2008 , and then the New Year of 2018 arrives, the 20 years Chen Yi has experienced are like a gift given by time.
Chen Yi also seems more calm about her personal life.
She cherishes time with her family. Moreover, she feels that she is ready, "I am single now, to be precise, I have always been single. I feel that I am ready to be a good wife. When you meet the right person, everything will happen."
Chen Yi also has high expectations for "New Africa Week".
This is a bold and courageous attempt by Jiangsu Variety Show in 2018. It canceled the original TV series and replaced it with a live broadcast that lasted for nearly 5 hours. Audiences can participate in interactions and draws, and the program includes down-to-earth life content such as food, travel, and blind dates.
This was a provocative attempt by TV people to deal with the media situation. At that time, many people had a lot of expectations for Chen Yi and the hosts of "New Africa Week" to return to the weekend live broadcast program...
