In 1995, the Broadcasting Department of the Beijing Radio and TV Institute (now Communication University of China) opened its cadre training class to national recruitment, and Zhao Pu was admitted. With only 8,000 yuan in savings, he arrived in Beijing. By the end of 1996, he received his junior college diploma. Upon opening it, he couldn't help but laugh in disbelief.
“With diagonal patterns and the word ‘adult’ printed all over it—this isn't a graduation diploma; it's my coming-of-age ceremony.”
Although being 25 years old for a junior college graduate seemed a bit late, Zhao Pu secured an internship at Beijing Television Station thanks to his hosting experience and solid skills.
He enthusiastically moved into a basement apartment located on the Third Ring Road, provided by the station. The 10-square-meter room had bunk beds and was shared by eight men who smoked, drank, and snored. However, what was truly unbearable was the complete lack of on-camera opportunities. Every day, he practiced his vocal intonation and pacing alone, facing only a script and a microphone.
The then-director, Luo Ying, once told him, “In the Song Dynasty, there was a punishment called the ‘discipline stick.’ Do you know what it is? No matter how high your ambitions, you must keep your temper in check here!” For a full six months, he was not given any camera time. Zhao Pu endured it patiently, often going to the station to observe how other hosts delivered their broadcasts. During particularly frustrating nights, he could smoke an entire pack of A Shi Ma cigarettes in one go. While everyone else was asleep, his cigarette ember would flicker in the darkness until he smoked himself into a stupor and collapsed.
1995年，北京广播学院（现中国传媒大学）播音系干部专修班面向全国招生，赵普成功考入。带着仅有的8000元积蓄，他来到了北京。1996年底，他拿到了大专文凭，打开一看，不禁哑然失笑。
“斜纹底纹，满纸都印着‘成人’二字——这哪里是毕业文凭，分明是我的成人礼啊。”
虽然25岁才读完大专显得有些迟，但赵普凭借扎实的主持经验和实力，顺利进入北京电视台实习。
他满怀兴奋地搬进了台里位于西三环的地下室。那间10平米的小屋，上下铺挤满了人，8个男人在一起抽烟、喝酒、打呼噜。然而，真正让他难以忍受的是完全没有上镜的机会。每天，他只能对着稿子和话筒，独自练习抑扬顿挫的配音。
当时的老主任罗影曾对他说：“宋朝刑罚里有一招叫‘杀威棒’，懂吗？心气再高，也得在这儿沉住气！”整整半年，他都没有拿到镜头。赵普默默忍受，没事就跑到台里，观察其他主持人是如何播音的。在格外苦闷的夜晚，他能一口气抽完一包阿诗玛香烟。当室友们都已睡去，只有他的烟头在黑暗中一明一灭，直到他抽到醉倒为止。
