Li Yong’s character evaluation:

Faced with various rankings and competitions, Li Yong always treats them with a normal heart. What Li Yong values ????is the audience's recognition of him. Li Yong is determined not to be a "puppet" host. From his language style to his external appearance, Li Yong insists on his own "personality." The audience's liking for his humorous hosting style is their recognition of him. ?

Li Yong is a CCTV host who can definitely arouse "criticism". In the 2002 Spring Festival Gala, in order to introduce hip-hop style into the hosting style, Li Yong was promoted to the position of CCTV host, and formed a relatively stable combination with Zhou Tao, Zhu Jun, Dong Qing, etc. The host who can host the CCTV Spring Festival Gala every year is the "face" and "pillar" of CCTV.
