Behind-the-scenes story of news broadcast

Journalists must have professional qualities. The Iraq war was once characterized as a live broadcast war by the media, so journalists were required to walk in front of the soldiers. This is a professional spirit. Military journalists sometimes really have to face death and grab the latest shots.

In March 2005, I led an interview with China peacekeepers in Liberia and the Democratic Republic of the Congo. A week before we arrived in the Democratic Republic of Congo, nine Pakistani peacekeepers were killed in tribal conflicts. As the commander of the Southwest Theater, the supreme commander of Pakistan's peacekeeping forces heard that CCTV was coming, so he must be invited to dinner. At the appointed time, two trucks loaded with heavily armed soldiers and with machine guns on the top of the cab came to pick us up, closely protected in tandem, and guarded by soldiers at various intersections along the way. Although everyone ate a bowl of instant noodles after dinner, it was the most grand dinner I had ever had.

We interviewed China's peacekeeping engineering unit in Liberia. They are responsible for the maintenance of the highway bridge Liang Xiujian. Most of the construction sites are in the jungle, and the average temperature at the scene during the day is above 45℃, but we are going to shoot at noon. In order to prevent mosquito bites, you must also put on long trousers, and tie the cuffs of your trousers tightly, steam them underground, bake them on them, and finally get confused when you don't sweat.

The most frightening thing is the epidemic. Congo (DRC), where China peacekeepers live, is a high incidence area of malaria. I saw a statistic on MONUC's LAN. In 2004, 260 UN peacekeepers in the Democratic Republic of Congo died, 40% of whom died of malaria. Although I was vaccinated and took preventive medicine before going abroad, it was hard to prevent.

When we interviewed peacekeeping troops in Sudan, we lived in tents with officers and men, ate compressed dry food, drank limited supply of drinking water, and did 10 hours of physical labor at 50℃ every day. In addition to malaria, encephalitis, cholera and other diseases, there is also an egg in the water, which will cause permanent blindness after entering human skin, called "river blindness". At that time, the water purification equipment didn't arrive, and I didn't dare to take a shower. Almost everyone has a rash and rotten crotch.

Gao Weiqiang: Seeing monkeys was my childhood wish.

1996 On the eve of Spring Festival travel rush, Spring Festival travel rush reported in full swing. At that time, most of the news was advocating the new concept of giving gifts during the Spring Festival, sending floppy disks, books, tapes and so on, but I felt that I still lacked a little attention to culture, and I wanted to make a special report on the old customs, but I couldn't start. Until one day, when I saw my son making paper-cut of mice, I suddenly found a breakthrough point and got through the whole report, which led to the annual customized report of the zodiac that lasted for 12 years.

1996 New Year's Eve, the relaxed and interesting old-fashioned news "Year of the Rat" was broadcast on the news network, causing quite a stir. The next day, the news center received many calls and asked, "Is the news broadcast to be improved?" The director replied that "News Network" has been reforming.

All news broadcasts of News Network have titles and reporters' names, except my folk report "Dogs Say Dogs in the Year of the Dog" in 2006, which has neither titles nor reporters' names. I was still confused at that time, thinking that there was a loophole in technology. Later, I learned that this was a prudent decision of the leaders in Taiwan Province, on the grounds that "the picture is so beautiful, I really don't want to ruin it"!

What impressed me the most was the Year of the Monkey in 2004, because seeing monkeys was my whole childhood wish. I grew up in Ningxia. When I was a child, my grandfather gave me a ticket to Beijing Zoo in Qing Dynasty. The two animals on the ticket were monkeys, but there were no monkeys in Ningxia at that time. It was not until the 1980s that I went to Beijing on business that I saw enough monkeys in the zoo. I have mixed feelings when I saw the Year of the Monkey broadcast by News Network. That report also combined all my feelings and memories of monkeys.

Sha: I'm "Luo Jing, Xinjiang"

China is a big family with 56 nationalities, many of which have their own languages and scripts. In the remote areas of southern and northern Xinjiang, ethnic minorities have not fully mastered Chinese. Starting from 1980, we translated News Network into minority languages for broadcasting.

At the beginning of News Network, the translation and broadcasting cycle was relatively long. 1980 we put the important news of News Network into a half-hour program, which is broadcast once a week. To 1982, change to three issues a week; 1986 the first issue of the next day; By 1 September 19991,we had a "big speed increase" to advance the news broadcast that night to11; September 2006 15, speed up again, broadcast at 9: 30 pm.

The program was broadcast in advance, and our work was very tiring, but the audience no longer had to watch News Network in the middle of the night, and the ratings went up at once, and the audience called us more and more. Some viewers don't call me by my name, but just call me "Luo Jing of Xinjiang".

On June 5438+065438+ 10, 2006, a delegation from our compilation center visited CCTV, which was the first time that I, a "Luo Jing of Xinjiang", came to Beijing for more than 20 years. Although I visited the Great Hall of the People, Tiananmen Square and the National Museum. I am familiar with those who have appeared in the news broadcast countless times before, but I am proud to be there in person. Especially when I visited the studio of News Network, sitting in the chair where Luo Jing sat, I felt like I was back at home.

In fact, our program has also gone abroad. Because the languages are similar, the Kazakh channel of Xinjiang TV Station can be seen in Central Asia, India, Pakistan and other places, and landed in Kazakhstan. The audience there enjoyed our program very much. Kazakh audiences in Mongolia often watch our programs.

Shangguan Wenqing: The director is the "boss" of live broadcast.

1 99665438+1October1,the live video mode of News Network, which lasted for 18 years, was officially replaced by live broadcast. Although the timeliness of live broadcast has improved, the chances of accidents and mistakes have also increased. Pilot broadcasting has become a powerful guarantee for the smooth broadcast of news broadcast.

News Network is the only program in the news editorial department that combines editing and broadcasting. The director has two basic responsibilities: one is the coordinator and commander of the live news program; Second, it is equivalent to the responsible editor of the newspaper layout, and it is necessary to arrange programs and check programs. As a dynamic process, live broadcast has many uncertain factors, and it needs the cooperation of announcer, video editor, subtitle editor, video switch, audio switch and lighting. Therefore, pilots should coordinate all types of work and systems, and all personnel on site should obey the pilot's command and dispatch. The pilot is the most authoritative voice on the live broadcast line, just like the person who shouted "5, 4, 3, 2, 1" before the launch of Shenzhou VI. The leader of Taiwan Province once joked with me: "In the live broadcast, the director is the boss, and everyone has to listen to you."

In fact, people who broadcast the first line are facing great psychological pressure. From announcer to director, almost everyone has had nightmares about broadcasting, such as sudden power failure, halfway through the broadcast, missing the tape behind, the broadcast is about to start, but there is no studio, and so on. They often wake up in the middle of the night, sit up and "soar", and are still very scared.

And family members sometimes have to bear more pressure. What impressed me most was when my father was ill. It was suspected to be cancer. I happened to be on duty in the pilot class the day the hospital examination results came out. I've been calling my mother all afternoon to ask for the result. The result finally came out. My mother smiled and said to me on the phone, "Nothing, it's not cancer." But when I went back to my mother at night, I pushed the door and saw my mother lying in bed crying. Only then did she tell me that my father had cancer, and it was terminal and had metastasized.
