Tong Zirong: Liu Gang is a person

Liu Gang, this person, is a good person. He was the one who worked behind the scenes. You may not be familiar with his name, let alone himself. This man, who came to Shanghai from Inner Mongolia to wander, has been engaged in a broadcasting and hosting job in the music department of Shanghai Radio for more than thirty years.

In fact, although we were in a building in the Broadcasting Building, up and down as "neighbors", he probably knew me, and I never had contact with him. And now my feelings are in response to those four words: see each other and hate late.

Some time ago, the 25-inch TV set at home was broken, and I was too lazy to repair it and buy it, so I played with a small radio again, replacing visual art with auditory art, which was not bad. Tune to the music channel and inadvertently "dig" a gem - the classic FM94.7 music afternoon tea. The old brother who accompanied us to drink tea five times a week in the afternoon was named Liu Gang.

The music show quickly became addictive to me. Liu Gang's voice is quite distinctive, the bass is plump and watery, the faster speed of speech lines are very smooth, and the voice is quite "foreign". I also noticed that his self-made host words, one after another, were very listening. The music he carefully selected for us, the introductory words he choreographed, and his commentary, are the best of three. Listening to him tell the story, he has an atmosphere of his own, and there is also a caring warmth. Two or three hours of comfort seem to pass in a flash. I am deeply grateful for his hard work day after day, and I have great respect for him. So I thought about when I could meet him, after all, we were "neighbors" to each other.

Last weekend, we finally had a meeting. It's a bit presumptuous to say, I haven't greeted him beforehand, and I do have something to ask him for advice on, and recently I'm planning a concert that I think is quite chic, and he can help me. He was not mentally prepared that day, but he heard that an enthusiastic audience came to him, hurriedly walked from the workplace on the third floor, and listened to me report the door of the house, he was stunned, his eyes were round as if he did not believe it, and his speech began to stutter. I apologize for his gaffe. Standing in front of me and listening to his voice on the radio were naturally a little different from my imagination, but it was not surprising that it would be like this most likely. Once upon a time, a small movie fan meeting said bluntly to me: I imagined that you should be as tall and burly as "Zorro", but I didn't expect you to... I laughed and said, "So we'd better not meet, wouldn't we?" ”

It was inconvenient to bother more, and when I was done, I said goodbye to him. He insisted on sending me a delivery, must send me to the door room, must also send me to the other side of the road, and wanted to send me all the way to the bus stop in the distance, probably worried that I would get lost. It made me laugh and really moved. On the way home, Liu Gang's earnest appearance turned in his mind, and he couldn't help but think of that matter again. For many years, a fashionable "ghost" has been hovering over the behind-the-scenes work position, that is, Japan's "voice actor". Behind-the-scenes dubbing actors, but also rushed to the front of the curtain to sing, dance, acting, in fact, there is no difference between actors in the general sense, this kind of "voice actor" is said to be quite popular with the audience, very famous, the treatment is also staggering. Many of us here are confused, regardless of their own conditions, and bravely "get out of the cage". Even I, an activist working behind the scenes, had some confusion and mistakenly thought that something new had been opened up. Then I woke up, the national conditions of other countries should not replace our National conditions of China, we should still save the audience a unique charm of behind-the-scenes dubbing, a unique artistic enjoyment in life. But today, to be honest, unlike before, it is probably more difficult to stick to it, and therefore, I think that the spirit of work like Liu Gang is worth greatly promoting and advocating, especially worth some young artists who are dizzy and ignore their conscience and the bottom line.

We can communicate at any time by phone later. After contact, I always feel that according to his conditions and ability, there is still a lot of room for play in language arts. First of all, you can attack the narration level. For example, the recording of the broadcast novel "Sherlock Holmes Detective". With the exception of the role of Sherlock Holmes, all other roles allow him to try. In particular, the subjective narrator "I", Dr. Watson, is thick and slow, and the tone is soft and slightly cloudy, which is quite a contrast with the protagonist's metallic voice and the keen and fast nature of the language, and it is really suitable for Liu Gang to read it. I think so, and probably do.

Comrade Liu Gang, let's cheer together. (Tong Zirong)
