An Eye for News

Chapter 19: pronunciation

Views:

Nie Cai turned a blind eye to Yu Ran's warning, frowned and said, "Director, Zhang Xinyu's professional skills are completely trustworthy, so you don't need me to go, right?"

"Don't forget, time is very precious now. I don't allow any mistakes to happen. If something does go wrong, it will take ten or twenty minutes to go back and revise it again. I don't dare to take this risk!"

Seeing Bai Haidong's rare serious expression, Nie Cai had no choice but to take the manuscript and knock on the door of the dubbing studio.

"Please come in."

Hearing the knock on the door, Zhang Xinyu put down the "Modern Chinese Dictionary" which was as heavy as a big brick.

There was an uncommon word in a manuscript just now. She was not sure how to pronounce it, so she had to use a dictionary.

Many people think that announcers can speak fluently when they pick up scripts on TV, which is very impressive. Little do they know that this is the result of daily accumulation.

In fact, judging from what Nie Cai has seen and heard, many announcers cannot help but pull out their mobile phones to look up unfamiliar words and polyphonic words they are unsure of in their daily lives. This has almost become an occupational disease.

"It's you?"

Zhang Xinyu looked at Nie Cai who came in and said with a lukewarm expression: "You forgot to take your mobile hard drive. Remember to take it away later."

While talking, she quietly kicked a bag under the table and hid it.

Nie Cai's sharp eyes recognized it as the bag he opened in the morning.

"I really didn't mean what happened this morning..."

Thinking of this, Nie Cai couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.

"You don't need to say so much. Just put down the manuscript and go out. I will call you after dubbing."

Nie Cai became angry when he saw Zhang Xinyu's attitude.

He had explained what happened in the morning, and Zhang Xinyu still didn't give him a good look. After all, Nie Cai had saved her once, so there was no need to hold a grudge, right

Nie Cai suppressed his anger and said in a deep voice: "Do you think I am willing to come to you? Not everyone is like Yu Ran. I was just called by Director Bai to monitor and help you find mistakes, so as to avoid dubbing errors and not enough time."

"Monitoring? Just you?"

Hearing these words, Zhang Xinyu's face suddenly became displeased, and she snorted coldly: "Seeing that your Mandarin is so bad when you appear on camera, I'm afraid you can't even reach Grade 1. Why are you still teaching me based on your level?"

Zhang Xinyu is naturally confident in her words, because her professional level is obvious to all in S County TV Station.

In the past, the hosts of S County TV Station were very slow in filming their mouth-to-mouth broadcasts in the studio. They usually had to reshoot several times to satisfy the producers. However, Zhang Xinyu still holds the record for the fastest filming of mouth-to-mouth broadcasts. This is because Her professionalism is impeccable and she almost never makes mistakes in front of the camera. Even Director Wei Jianguo joked that she could live broadcast directly.

"Three stooges are better than Zhuge Liang. How do you know that I can't help you find your mistakes? Besides, this is a manuscript for Central Station, and everyone in the station is waiting for you."

After hearing this, Nie Cai simply stopped leaving. He put the manuscript on her desk, pulled up a chair, crossed his legs and waited.

"well!"

Zhang Xinyu was obviously angry, with a trace of anger flashing in his almond-shaped eyes.

But Rang also knew that now was not the time to be angry. He took a deep breath, adjusted the microphone in front of him, and quickly previewed the script in preparation for dubbing.

"Be careful, don't pronounce the wrong name, especially if you pronounce the leader's name wrongly, the impact will be greater."

At this moment, Nie Cai suddenly spoke up.

"The new secretary of the Political and Legal Committee? Do you think I would make such a stupid mistake and interpret it as jie?"

Zhang Xinyu chuckled and said disapprovingly.

Celebrities like Jie Xiaodong have popularized people’s names across the country. Nowadays, it is common knowledge to pronounce “xie” as “xie”. Who else would mispronounce this word

But to her surprise, facing her sneer, Nie Cai shook his head and said seriously: "His last name is not pronounced jie or xie, but pronounced sai, the second tone."

"sai? I remember that ethnic minorities in the northwest pronounce it this way, are you sure?"

It seemed that this was the first time she heard this pronunciation. Zhang Xinyu frowned, but then she immediately said: "How is it possible? He has been here for half a month, and even the current affairs news reads xie, why do you say that? Does he read sai?"

"When everyone reads it wrong, he has no choice but to accept it, but that doesn't mean we have to continue reading."

Nie Cai sighed and said, "This is what his driver told me. That's all I have to say. It's up to you whether you accept it or not."

After saying this, Nie Cai stood up and left the dubbing room directly.

Nie Cai was full of anger. He believed Zhang Xinyu if he believed it, and pulled him down if he didn't believe it. Anyway, he mispronounced the leader's name and he wouldn't be blamed in the end if he was investigated, so why bother to bother

The dubbing came out quickly, and Nie Cai swiped it in the non-editing software. Zhang Xinyu finally listened to his opinion and pronounced Xie as sai.

This was just a small episode. Nie Cai quickly forgot about it and concentrated on his work.

"Nie Cai, Tonglianke is urging me, send the news quickly!"

I don't know how long it took, but Bai Haidong came over with a phone and said to Nie Cai.

Nie Cai's heart moved. Tonglianke is the department that liaises between the provincial station and its affiliated TV stations. Tonglianke is interested in this article and wants the S County TV station to upload the footage for them to use. This means that this news will definitely be broadcast on the provincial station. .

Yu Ran gave up on publishing the manuscript, so this news only had Nie Cai's name on it, which meant that Nie Cai could get all the royalties.

Normally Nie Cai would be extremely happy. After coming to S County TV station for so long, this was the first time that Nie Cai's own news was on the provincial station.

However, Nie Cai also understood that this news was directed to CCTV. Before receiving the news that CCTV had adopted it, Nie Cai would not be so impatient.

"I know, let's finish the editing and it's ready to be made into a film!"

Nie Cai sat in front of the computer, tapping the keyboard, making final modifications and checks on the finished news film.

As a computer major, writing articles was a problem for him before getting the super news system, but using these editing software has no problem at all.

The process of news editing starts from the reporter shooting the material, returning to the TV station to write the story, and then asking the leader to review the story. After the review is completed, the host will dub the voice. After the dubbing is completed, it will be edited with the cut news material through non-editing software. , the final product is the finished film.

Of course, this finished film is not the final one and needs to be reviewed by the leader on duty before it can be broadcast. But for Nie Cai, this is the last part of his work.

In fact, in larger TV stations, the reporting and editing should be separated. The reporters only go out to interview, and the material is left to the editors to produce.

However, the staff of S County TV station is too streamlined, with only two editors, so the reporter can only let the reporter preliminary complete the film, and then the editor completes the post-production work such as series connection, adding subtitles and subtitles.

"The film is ready!"

Nie Cai breathed a long sigh of relief, and almost as fast as he could, he copied the finished piece of news to the mobile hard drive, jogged all the way, and delivered it to the editor.
