280 Past and Present Lives in Mandarin (Part II)

Zhan Jun likes Liverpool, and the fans who know him know it. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

When I first came into contact with the commentator profession, I was more familiar with Liverpool and was more comfortable with commentary.

But at the time, a reporter from Football News told him: "You need to familiarize yourself with the information of other small clubs as you know about a big club like Liverpool." A good commentator can not only explain the top team, but also a game of a lower team. ”

Later, Zhan Jun took the commentary work more seriously, and would also handwrite the preparation materials.

Ding Weijie said he appreciated Martin Taylor's level of knowledge: "A player who has scored a wonderful World Cup in a game will only say that this kind of goal is very rare, but Taylor will tell you that this player tried the same way in the same position a few years ago, and his recent poor form is due to injury, and now, he has regained his old form." ”

"Storytelling is not a profession, it's a way of life. If I'm three weeks away from my next livestream, I'll spend all my time preparing. In the eyes of English football legend Taylor, the football commentator is like this.

In 1996, Ding Weijie bought a laptop computer to organize materials, and since then, he has brought his own computer with him every time he explains.

If Rio Ferdinand is injured on the pitch, he can talk about Rio Ferdinand's injury history when the game is suspended.

He describes himself: "No one is crazy enough for me to find information." ”

In addition to the ability to find information, Zhan Jun also worked as a live camera on Guangdong TV, which is rare among commentators. With this work experience, Zhan Jun has a deeper understanding of the language of the lens.

In the new millennium, the Premier League is becoming more and more popular in China due to the right timing of the game and the leading broadcasting technology. At the same time, the cost of broadcasting in the Premier League has also risen, and the copyright owners have begun to favor larger domestic TV stations, and ESPN has been snubbed, and these commentators have returned to China one after another.

Back in China, these commentators need to deal with different audiences.

ESPN and domestic broadcasters have different requirements for commentary, and they also cultivate different audience tastes.

When Ding Weijie returned to China in 2003, he felt at the time: "They prefer that you don't have to be condescending when you are commenting, and you don't be there all day analyzing comments. ”

In the 2006 World Cup, Mr. Huang resigned after that crazy performance, and after the incident, the ratings of the national television for the rest of the World Cup increased significantly, and the fans also sympathized with Mr. Huang.

But ESPN's commentators may not think so, Susie thinks that Mr. Huang's style may not be suitable for ESPN, and He Guangjun strongly disagrees with Mr. Huang's approach: "If you do this on a foreign TV station, you will definitely 'fire squid' once and disappear in this industry." ”

In addition to the different requirements for commentary styles, the "stand-up comedy" mode used in domestic commentary live broadcasts is also not in line with their habits.

National television commentaries sometimes give the impression of "not having enough words", which is also partly related to the lack of commentators.

In addition, in the incident of Mr. Huang, his commentary was also a "stand-up comedy", and the lack of constraints of the commentators was also a factor that caused Mr. Huang's rhythm to get out of control.

The foreign model is to be played by two people, such as professional commentator Taylor and retired player Andy Gray, after Gray was sacked, Taylor's partner was replaced by Arsenal star Alan Smith in the 80s.

Although his stand-up commentary was welcome, he also agreed with the duo's commentary: "They (commentators) are generally responsible for introducing the background and information, explaining the 'lens language' and depicting the scene, and the professional analysis is all handed over to the guests." Such a scientific division of labor makes it comfortable and enjoyable for fans and spectators. ”

Stand-up commentary used to be a tradition of national television in the early days, and after the launch of Serie A, national television began to try to have three people each commenting on Mr. Song, Mr. Zhang and Mr. Zhang Zu.

Later, the national television further adjusted the personnel structure, Mr. Huang became the core, Zhang Zu took a back seat, and Tao Renwei, Xu Sunshine and Zhu Guanghu formed a set of all-round guest teams, and the road of football commentary became wider and wider, from a mouth to a round table.

Zhang Zuge's commentary is widely welcomed by fans, thanks to his experience, he roughly estimated that he has seen 3,000 games: "When it comes to 3,000 games, you can have some predictions, a game is played for 10 minutes, where the main point is, I can probably know, what is the development, I can probably predict it." ”

However, Zhang Zuge had no sense of presence in the previous national television, because at that time, the national television did not pay attention to the "role" of the commentator, so that the commentator stole the guest's scene.

"Teacher Han speaks loudly and ......, and sometimes, I can't interject, so I use this (hehe) way to show that I am there."

National TV does not lack guests who understand football, it just lacks a good commentator. In 2006, a roar overturned Mr. Huang's table of good dishes.

After Mr. Huang switched to Phoenix Satellite TV, the next Liu Jianhong and Duan Rixuan did not have enough strength to play the leading role. Perhaps, people's nostalgia for Mr. Huang in the future is because of the mediocrity of CCTV's commentary for a period of time after that.

If Mr. Huang, who has strong improvisation ability and high professional level, is the "Monkey King" of the Chinese football commentary industry, then Liu Jianhong is almost the "sand monk", with a stable commentary style, so that fans forget after listening to it, and even there are only one or two classic lines.

Liu Jianhong is not without innovation in the style of commentary, every time after a goal, the Latin football commentary will have a full of temperament, very elongated "GOOOOOOOOOOOAL!" Liu Jianhong commented on the goal, and repeatedly shouted "in, in......" at rap-like speed

However, his transplantation was not accepted by the audience, because the audience was always more concerned about his lack of informational commentary.

After the semi-finals of the 2014 World Cup, some people counted that Liu Jianhong used a total of 18 idioms, 6 famous quotes, and mentioned 7 times Chinese football, 5 times teenagers, 4 times German football, and 2 times French football.

Due to frequent mention of matters unrelated to the competition, Liu Jianhong was considered "verbose" and "unprofessional" by netizens.

It wasn't until He Huowei's appearance that people began to exclaim: "Who is he?" ”

He Huowei has brought sports commentary to a new realm, which is a kind of commentary that relies on strength and connotation skills. He Huowei can be called the best narrator of his age.

This is what the predecessor Mr. Han said, since the debut of "Challenge Host", he regards Mr. Huang as "my teacher", He Huowei is not as good as Mr. Huang, he is not a "warrior" in the mouth of fans, but a "poet".
