第24章 对外英语广播的主持艺术——“软新闻”(7)

[评点]

虽然这档节目是属于“软新闻”的,但是,由Christy策划和主持这档节目的内容时,笔者还是有些期待的。一是因为Christy本身的气质是偏重纯文艺节目主持的,笔者要看看她的掌控分寸如何,为其他对主持“软新闻”缺少信心的女生们提供些可参考和借鉴的点;二是笔者要考察Christy这类气质的女主播在面对这类节目内容时,到底有多少适应的空间;三是笔者希望看到如Christy气质的“漂亮型”或“文艺型”的女主持人,在面对源自生活的真实时“自然之情”的袒露方式。经过对通过摄像机镜头体现在屏幕上Christy的呈现的观察,她很好地突出了符合其气质和神态的“亲和力”,从而,使得节目内容与她的外型形成了很好的融合。

当然,这档节目的故事主角们都是和Christy年龄相仿的大学生,而且是一个令人欣慰的故事情节。如果内容是稍微沉重一些的负面社会问题的话,如Christy“文艺型”的女主持人们的长波浪卷发、精心修剪的眉毛轮廓、突出的假睫毛及纤纤的细手,是否会对节目内容中承受生活之痛的新闻人物及已经产生强烈同情心的受众们造成心理上的抵触或反感呢?

说到此处,笔者还是认为希望掌控这类节目的“文艺型”女主持人,首先就需要在外形上接受真实的自己,而非为了更漂亮去添加任何一份修饰了。当然,就这一主题,笔者也留给大家来思考。

[笔者主观映象]

这类节目其重要的看点不是再一次对事件本身进行流程化的介绍或再现,而是完全依靠主持人的提炼后进行的简短介绍后的评论式的掌控。这其中还设计了与演播室外的嘉宾的连线环节,更是对主播现场采访式提问能力的考验。首先,在语言方面呈现的是老百姓听着自然的字眼儿,而非文学化的辞藻堆砌;其次,在与嘉宾连线探讨时,主播的提问是要生活化的,即便是编导设计的问题,主播也要在备稿时进行认真的推敲,尽量将设计的问题转化为自己觉得说着顺的话来表达;最后,评点是事件时,最忌讳一位主播是否在说他人的观点。如果自己对实践的分析不透彻,或者恰遇一个自己无兴趣评论的事件内容的话,那就把评论的话语权交给连线嘉宾。这样,既可以“藏拙”,又能够通过嘉宾的观点凸显节目的“客观”。

第一个新闻故事背景:Key word:Morality

《少年细心照料母亲14载》

No.1:Today,let's step into the age ceremony in Taizhou Middle School in Zhejiang.This photo on the screen is an 18 year-old boy called Wang Shuai.He is our today's leading role.From his smile,we can hardly image that he took the responsibility when he should have been loved by others.

When he was 4,his father passed away.Since then,he has shouldered the responsibility of taking care of his ill mother in bed.At home,he does all the housework,such as cooking meals and doing the washing.At school,he studies very hard and wins scholarship every year.He is an outstanding example in the eyes of both teachers and students.

When we asked him what supports him within these 14 years.He just said:”Because she is my mother,I love her.”From this moment,we had respect for this middle school boy.

At the age ceremony,the regimental committee awarded him“Top 10 Member”.I think the appreciation on his effort to his family,morality and responsibility has been shown clearly.And this appreciation is the best gift for his age ceremony.Ok,now let our today's guest Coach Lin give his opinion about the issue.

Q-1:Coach Lin,how did you feel when you first heard the story of Wang Shuai?

A-1:…

Q-2:What do you think the society should do for this family?

A-2:…

No.1:OK,thank you.Yes,the condition of the family makes him share the household in his earlier age.However,Wangshuai is so brave.And his story moved a lot of people.On the one hand,I hope that there are fewer children like Wangshuai,because I think every child should have the right to have a beautiful memory in their childhood.On the other hand,I hope there are more“Wangshuai”,because our society will become much stronger and warmer if we have this high sense of responsibility and morality.

OK,that's the end of today's program.Thank you for tuning in.See you tomorrow.

[评点]

这档节目的内容很容易引导主播进行“抒情式”地讲述,从而使得受众感到“煽情”和“同情”。若如此地处理,也不是什么说不过去的大错。但是,就主播的风格体现而言,就显得太“一般化”了。

笔者仍然记得这档节目在展示的时候,主播仍然是按照笔者实现要求的“路数”进行了选题策划和节目韵律的环节设计。也就是说,整体的框架是符合要求的。但是,做到这一点,只能算是完成了任务,但并没有令笔者形成“可圈可点”的“亮点”。

可喜的是,值得在此说说实训时这档节目主持掌控特色的有这样几部分。一是主播以平静的“缓缓道来”状态,讲述这个令人难以平静的内容,很符合“软新闻”节目掌控的定位,进而显得大气中颇具“荡气回肠”的感动;二是当进行与嘉宾连线时,主播首先是从微观的嘉宾自身的反响提问开始,再提升到宏观的社会层面,显得更具新闻人“冷静远虑”的宽泛视野而非“易感脆弱”的悲情伤感;三是在最开始的“简介”部分,主播还是较好地对较长的新闻故事进行了提炼,将主要的新闻点罗列得很清楚,从而使得节目的后续内容紧紧围绕着这几点展开。

[笔者主观映象]

这档节目的内容形成的主持风格,对于汉语节目主播来说是很熟悉的,对于受众而言就更是“络绎不绝”了。这是因为令人感动的内容使得主持人自己也开始“任情感奔流”,表现在主持风格的处理上,就是“激情洋溢”的朗诵腔。这样的状态,就呈现出主播自己进入了感动自己的“预设情境”,眼睛透出的不是与受众的交流神情,而是显现游走于自己想象空间里的“话剧演员”。

另外,因为对内容理解的如此定位,编导和主播就希望节目更动人,进而配上“画蛇添足”的音乐。但是,在对外英语广播里,“软新闻”还是新闻,并不是电视化艺术片。

所以,主播的心态仍应是新闻主播,只是主持时的语气处理是“讲述”而非“播报”,更不是“朗诵”。这就是笔者在设计如此内容时,要考察学生的点。是在观看此类节目呈现时,最不能接受的“映象”。
