Gilbert on CCTV2, 4 and 9 (updated version 2)

(edited on 21 August, more pics)
Some of you might have seen me…
CCTV2 made a small documentary (15 min) about me and my involvement in the Olympics. For 3 days they followed me around, in the office meeting room, in my private office, near the Watercube, in a Swisscham networking event and, yes, in my gym – California Fitness. We had a good time, even with all the hard work, the heath, the hassle.

The documentary was shown on CCTV2 and later several times on CCTV4.

See here also pics from the shooting near the Watercube, with the CCTV9 crew!
Last Saturday (16 August) I was invited by CCTV9 to be part of their “17 Days”, a life program taped in their studios next to the Millennium Monument. The topic is of course … Olympics.
Host was Ms. Tian Wei and I joined the other panelist, Mr. Zhu Yinghuang, Editor in Chief Emeritus of China Daily. We had received a long list of tough questions to discuss but at the end little time was left for us to really discuss in depth. See the CCTV building, the make-up room and the studio.

I enjoyed most the overall experience, the preparations (make-up room…), the intensity of the program with all the news flashes. And the people who were all real nice (which is not exactly always the case with FOREIGN journalists!). Mr. Zhu and me were then invited for a Shanghai lunch where we really discussed in depth…
