Great times call for great works, and “A Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains” is a literary masterpiece dedicated to Shanghai by the famous writer Sun Ganlu. After being awarded the Excellent Work Award of the 16th “Five One Project” of the Central Propaganda Department for the Construction of Spiritual Civilization, this book, which is full of thousands of miles and rivers and mountains, has also begun to incubate various literary and artistic works. Along with the good news that the work won the 11th Mao Dun Literature Award, the radio drama “A Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains” created by the Er studio of the Media Center of Shanghai Radio and Television Station also made its debut on August 15 with an outstanding attitude. Himalayan platform.
Have the courage to explore and show the vocal charm of excellent works
The radio drama is called “the play in the ear”, and its special feature is that it can only be performed through sound. The playwright Cao Yu once commented, “Excellent radio dramas allow people to hear the spiritual world of the characters. The integration of lines, music, and sound effects is fascinating and memorable.” This time, the news anchor as the backbone of the team to record the radio drama is not only a bold attempt by the SMG “Side Ear” team, but also a brave exploration of the new field of language art by the announcers and hosts.
Since its launch in 2016, the “Pianer SH” WeChat official account created by the news anchors of Shanghai Radio and Television Media Center has launched more than a thousand high-quality original audio and video products. The natural voices of the news anchors not only let the audience feel the profound connotation and infinite power contained in the language, but also let literature enter the lives of many people like spring wind and rain. Yin Hairong, the chief announcer of the Media Center of Shanghai Radio and Television Station, the producer of Cen Er, and the producer of this radio drama, said, “At the beginning of Cen Er’s establishment seven years ago, the first professional teacher to visit was Teacher Sun Ganlu. Over the years, The team continues to explore different ways of expressing sound and language for various literary genres, and Mr. Sun has seen the progress made all the way. When his novel “A Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains” was completed, he encouraged and supported us to use the form of radio dramas to present this work.”
Although it is the first time to set foot in a radio drama, the 15 members of the Pianer team who participated in the broadcast expressed that they are honored to be able to participate in this project. They hope that while performing excellent works with sound, they will also allow more audiences and listeners to appreciate SMG’s broadcasting A whole new side of the voice-expression world for presenters. As the project with the most energy and the largest number of participants since the establishment of the ear studio, the radio drama “A Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains” has also received strong support from various departments of the SMG Media Center. More than a dozen reporters, editors, and directors not only actively contributed their voices and played supporting roles, but also made a lot of contributions to the presentation of this radio drama with their professional expertise.
It is also during the active participation that many media people have discovered that the presentation of radio dramas of excellent works is by no means as simple as “reading”. The screenwriter and director of “A Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains” this time is Wang Xing, the host of the Media Center of Shanghai Radio and Television Station. In order to allow the audience to better experience the effect of expressing emotion with voice and gain the satisfaction of listening to the good news, while being faithful to the original work, she also ingeniously supplemented and enriched some of the plots. “There is a lot of blank space in this work. Reading can give readers room for imagination, but radio dramas whose plots are fleeting in the ears are not. In order to present a solid relationship between characters and dramatic tension in the process of vocal expression, tricks must be used. Write well and act thoroughly.”
In addition to completing daily news broadcasts and dubbing work, Wang Xing will hold a thick stack of scripts to make various annotations and adjustments every day. When encountering some key sections, he even has to change the script several times to be satisfied. For her, the original intention of being so devoted is to ensure that the radio drama is “nice and pleasant” on the basis of the “good-looking and wonderful” novel.
Emotional performance, the host and the characters in the play are integrated
In the twelfth lunar month of 1933, a group of underground party workers began to carry out a top-secret mission code-named “A Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains Map” in Shanghai, which was shrouded in white terror… Accompanied by a very distinctive voice, the story unfolds amid the seemingly peaceful crisis The curtain was drawn. Chen Qianli, played by the host Xing Hang, is one of the key characters in the play.
As the decision-maker assigned by his superiors to Shanghai to assist in the completion of the mission, Chen Qianli is a perfect agent in the eyes of Xing Hang who is unsmiling and stern to the end. “After three years of training in Siberia, Chen Qianli not only cut off contact with his past self, but also grew into an excellent intelligence worker who is not happy.” But as the recording progressed and repeated reading of the original work, Xing Hang slowly felt It turns out that Chen Qianli’s calmness is just his disguise as an excellent intelligence worker. “In fact, he not only has great love for the nation and the country in his heart, but also misses his former lover and younger brother.” Xing Hang said frankly that the change in understanding of the role not only made the performance style different from before, but also his own understanding of the role. The interpretation of the characters has also begun to get better.
As the plot reverses and reverses once more, the emotional interpretation of the news anchors not only makes the audience ups and downs in suspense following the fate of the characters, but also makes people truly feel the human core under the cloak of suspense. The hostess Shi Yan, who is familiar to audiences in Shanghai, played Ling Wen, an underground party worker and female writer. When she played the role, she deeply felt that even those proletarian comrades with heroism still have fragility in their hearts. and soft parts. “They will also be hesitant, confused and even in a dilemma, but it is these true feelings that make this story that happened in an era far from the current life still arouse our empathy.”
In order to better shape the characters with high-quality sound conditions, the host Shu Yi recalled the situation when she went to the Longhua Martyrs Cemetery to pay homage to the martyrs. Walking into the cramped cell, she immediately felt the uneasiness and confusion of the characters in the play following their first accidental arrest. “At that moment, I seemed to be transformed into a character in the play. The layer of body that had to be stripped off when shaping the character also slowly faded away.”
Among them, a fleece vest full of bullet scars left a deep impression on the host Shu Yi. Its owner is Feng Keng, one of the twenty-four martyrs in Longhua, a young man who pursued progress and grew up to be a revolutionary writer who bravely dedicated himself to his ideals. “It is said that this vest was woven by Feng Keng for her husband Xu E one by one. I believe that when she was knitting this vest, she also dreamed of a warm hug with her lover. The reason why she chose to wear this vest was to die calmly.” , but also to get the final warmth and support from it.” From this, Shu Yi also thought of Dong Huiwen, the character she played. Although she and Chen Qianyuan were lovers, they never had time to say “I love you” to each other. “For her, completing the ‘A Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains’ is a more courageous and majestic mission than love, and the connection between me and the characters was born at that moment.”
Multi-party efforts to trace and restore this turmoil
In the original book, many underground workers of the party gathered together to follow the belief in their hearts and complete the tasks assigned by the organization. During the recording process of the radio drama “A Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains”, the main creative team also received great help from all parties. The famous actress Xi Meijuan readily agreed following being invited to play the role of the leader of the party organization. Although the lines were only a few sentences, she still studied the script meticulously in advance and deeply pondered the character’s personality. In Xi Meijuan’s view, “A Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains” is an excellent work, and the radio drama is just a kind of artistic creation with a high threshold. “However, I think that in recent years, the hosts have greatly improved their voice expression through the experience of participating in the recitation of ‘Pian Er’. This time, they with excellent voice conditions can perform the interpretation of radio dramas. I think it is the most suitable But that’s all.”
Jin Beiping, a professor at the School of Broadcasting and Hosting Arts at Communication University of China, is a teacher of many well-known hosts. He feels very honored to be able to participate in the sound creation of the radio drama “A Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains” with the announcers and hosts this time. What amazed Jin Beiping was that although news anchors were used to the discourse style of news broadcasts, they made remarkable progress in tempering not long following they devoted themselves to the creation of radio dramas. “When I heard the first version of the promotional video, I was immediately brought into the plot by everyone’s voice.” He believes that following the audience has experienced the performance of each character, including the news anchor, they will definitely appreciate this movie. The quality of the radio drama is impressive.
In order to highlight the suspenseful color of the radio drama “A Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains”, Xu Zhong, director of the Shanghai Opera House, also composed an original theme song and all original scene music for the play for free. “The recognition of the original work, the admiration for the author, and the support for the ‘Side Ear’ team led me to participate in this project together.” Xu Zhong said that he also specially studied the soundtracks of similar works during the creation stage and found that they are more effect-oriented Rather than melody, this is also his original intention to insist on originality even in situational music. “In fact, the charm of radio dramas lies in the creation of sound. I believe that my original music can better fit the performances of the hosts while promoting the plot, and add to the icing on the cake.” Xu Zhong said with a smile. Even Sun Ganlu praised the vivid performances of the announcers and hosts. I am also looking forward to the launch of the radio drama “A Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains” and sincerely invite the audience to listen to it together.Return to Sohu to see more
