Ding Wenshan, 27 years old, holds first-class Mandarin and is a national second-level announcer.
On Hunan Satellite TV, Ding Wenshan’s voice is everywhere. One moment he tells you “What you are watching now is China Hunan Satellite TV”, and the next moment he reminds you “Next, please watch "Happy Camp" "", one moment he was promoting an upcoming TV series, and the next moment he became the solemn and rich narrator in the "Story Behind" column.
Before meeting Ding Wenshan, I recalled in my mind the grand and majestic momentum of the phrase "Cranes dance on the white sand, my heart flies". I guessed that he was 40 or older, but I was surprised when I met him.
“Last year, when I reported to the political department of Hunan Satellite TV, I said my name was Ding Wenshan. They didn’t believe anything I said. They said: ‘I have heard Ding Wenshan’s voice, at least he is middle-aged. Man. '" Ding Wenshan is only 27 years old, but he has the arrogance of a middle-aged man when he smiles brightly.
Ding Wenshan, who is currently at the forefront of Hunan’s dubbing industry, does not come from a professional background. “I have been on stage performing the cross talk "The Bragg King" since I was a child." Ding Wenshan has a natural voice. He studied English in college and has very professional knowledge. Excellent, so I have a lot of time and energy to study Mandarin recitation and personalized language performance. He is almost the male host of the university's radio station and literary evening.
After some time, the mother was shocked by her son's language skills. As a mother who worked as an announcer on Hainan TV in the 1970s, she was extremely pleased with her son's subtle changes. Because of his mother's guidance and Ding Wenshan's own accumulation of knowledge, when he graduated from college in 1998, he gave up his career as an English major and directly entered the news department of Hunan Literature and Art Radio, which was very popular at the time, as a broadcaster and host.
Ding Wenshan’s broadcast was very engaging, with a touch of sensationalism in his enthusiasm. The station often arranges for him to host late-night programs such as "Literature Appreciation" and "Tender Is the Night". In the silent night sky, Ding Wenshan's voice was like a ray of starlight, bright and warm. At that time, his program had a high listening rate, especially among students in colleges and universities. People commented that Ding Wenshan's throat is like a sound, with different levels of ups and downs. The sound at the top is rich and deep, and the sound at the bottom is broad. It is like countless musicians playing a beautiful piece of music at the same time. The metallic melody sets off the night sky of Star City. It is magnificent and mysterious.
In 1999, there were major personnel changes in Taiwan. During the Spring Festival, only Ding Wenshan was left among the four people in the Information Department. News broadcasts, song requests, music appreciation, late-night heart-to-heart talks and other programs were all shouldered by him, and he stayed in the live broadcast room for six or seven hours at a time.
Winter nights are particularly long. When Ding Wenshan finished playing "Friends, listeners, see you tomorrow morning", it was already midnight. He rushed to the dormitory in the biting cold wind, filled a hot water bottle and fell into bed to sleep. When he woke up, he found blisters on his calves caused by a hot water bottle. The fatigue from overloaded work made him lose all sense of the outside world. There are still scars on his legs, and he joked that they were from gunshot wounds during military training. Later, rumors spread that Ding Wenshan had suffered a gunshot wound to his leg, and he didn't bother to argue.
Ding Wenshan's voice has the charm of a mature man, and it is difficult to associate him with a college student who has just graduated. The station receives countless letters from listeners every day. Every letter forwarded to Ding Wenshan must be addressed as "Teacher Ding", "Senior Ding" or "Old Ding" on the letterhead. No one knows how many years he has been broadcasting. Ding Wenshan was deeply moved by the audience's sincere messages, but he never forgot to say "Xiao Ding, Wenshan is hosting the show for you now" in future broadcasts. But no matter how I corrected him, people got used to the title "Teacher Ding", even the senior director who has been in the theater for decades still calls him this.
In order to make his language more professional, Ding Wenshan applied for the National Mandarin Level Examination in 1999 and obtained a first-class certificate. Class A is the highest level of Mandarin level and is required for national and provincial radio and television hosts and announcers. After passing the preliminary test in Hunan, the entire recording of the preliminary test must be sent to the National Language Mandarin Training and Testing Center for review before it can be obtained. Many well-known radio and television hosts often fail at the last stage. Ding Wenshan, who is not a broadcasting major, successfully passed the test in one go, which is rare among announcers and hosts with a broadcasting major.
In November 1999, a large-scale live broadcast party marking the 50th anniversary of the establishment of Hunan People's Broadcasting Station was held in the Hunan Satellite TV studio. With his solid acting skills, young Ding Wenshan served as the host of the party together with Qiu Xiao, Li Bing and others.
In 2000, Ding Wenshan continued his studies at the Beijing Broadcasting Institute (now Communication University of China). After finishing his studies, he joined a TV station as a full-time voiceover for promotional films and TV films. The exposure rate of full-time voice actors is extremely low. They deal with empty recording studios all day long and are not recognized by people. At first, many people advised Ding Wenshan to choose a job as a host with a high profile on the stage, but Ding Wenshan firmly believed that the image created by the * voice has invisible mystery and reverie. Sound can also shock the soul and conquer the audience.
In 2003, SARS ravaged the motherland. Faced with the catastrophic epidemic, the people of the country were united and fought together. Ding Wenshan, sitting in the recording studio, wearing headphones, concentrated on describing the disaster. People are frightened and uneasy. Ding Wenshan's voice is full of sorrow, but without losing passion, always giving people faith and fighting spirit. Hunan Satellite TV's "The Story Behind" special program "Those Days That Touched China - Anniversary Commemoration of the Fight against SARS" was awarded the second prize for the province's outstanding radio and television broadcasting and hosting works in 2003 due to Ding Wenshan's skillful and emotional performance. .
In March 2003, our country’s defense expert Yu Jianxing accompanied the United Nations weapons inspectors to Baghdad to perform an inspection mission and died in the line of duty. Ding Wenshan displayed his superb skills in the dubbing of the TV film "Chinese Expert's Soul in Iraq". His voice was sometimes majestic and powerful, sometimes soft and soothing, which profoundly expressed the martyrs' loyalty to the country and love for their family. Especially the dubbing of the family letter of martyr Yu Jianxing in the short film was clear and desolate, which made the audience sigh. The show received high praise from the creative staff. Later, the Central Military Commission shot a documentary on the same theme, and relevant personnel also sent a special invitation from Beijing to ask Ding Wenshan to dub in Beijing.
In September 2004, the Hunan Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection produced an internal information film on the discipline inspection system, "Warning Behind Bars". After the film was completed, the director was not very satisfied with the dubbing. A leader of Hunan Satellite TV who participated in the production of the film said: "The only choice is Ding Wenshan." When young Ding Wenshan appeared next to the leaders of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection, they were a little surprised, "This is a serious anti-corruption film. "It's a movie!" Ding Wenshan got into the mood as soon as he got the commentary, and comrades from the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection sat in the recording studio. His dubbing has the power of being able to avoid past mistakes and avoid future consequences, and is also full of human touch in treating illnesses and saving lives. Ding Wenshan's dubbing was fully recognized by the leaders of the Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection. Later, the film was played in various units, and Ding Wenshan's voice was like a wake-up call and received widespread praise.
Served as the voice spokesperson for Hunan Satellite TV channel, Ding Wenshan is busy with various dubbing, "Either I am dubbing for the manuscript, or I am waiting for the manuscript." Sometimes the clock turns to what time it is. Someone advised him to go to sleep first, but "I can't sleep," Ding Wenshan insisted, "I'm afraid that my voice will be affected when I wake up."
"A new angle." Because before Ding Wenshan, any film was just read by an announcer, and the emergence of Ding Wenshan made the industry realize that dubbing can play a considerable role in improving the overall performance of a program. The most convincing example is "The Story Behind", where there is one host and one dubbing. Because of the tacit understanding of each other's voices, Zhang Dandan and Ding Wenshan regarded each other as friends before they met. "I host, you dub, the program must be Okay." This was the first thing Zhang Dandan said to Ding Wenshan.Wonderful TV pictures always focus on the noisiest moments among the crowd, while exquisite voices always create waves in the depths of people's minds unconsciously. Ding Wenshan has always regarded the shocking and gorgeous sound as his pursuit.
People who work in broadcasting are prone to occupational diseases such as chronic pharyngitis, which directly affects normal pronunciation and can only stop working. Once, Ding Wenshan took over the dubbing of a 30-minute investment film on Hunan Satellite TV (designated to be dubbed by Ding Wenshan). He was suffering from a severe cold. In order to recover as quickly as possible, he took large doses of intravenous injections for three days in a row. However, The results are not obvious. Ding Wenshan had no choice but to hold on to his illness and work hard to complete the dubbing work for the film. Although dubbing was still recognized by relevant leaders, Ding Wenshan always regarded dubbing while sick as a dereliction of duty. From then on, whenever he got a cold that affected his normal pronunciation, he would try his best to take full sick leave.
Ding Wenshan often dubs programs, such as Hunan Satellite TV's "The Story Behind", Guangdong Satellite TV's "Wealth Story", etc. Every time the work is broadcast, he always watches it carefully and summarizes it. He believes that broadcasters are different from craftsmen. Craftsmen produce each work with little change and monotonous repetition, while broadcasters strive to make breakthroughs and strive for excellence.
Voice is a comprehensive expression of eloquence and personal artistic accomplishment. Ding Wenshan has read a lot of books, accumulated profound literary literacy, and is good at finding corresponding emotions in the arrangement of words. Sometimes, a boring popular science explanatory text can be interpreted by him with gusto.
Ding Wenshan pursues sound, and is most sensitive and passionate about sound. He believes that sound waves will never disappear, will make the audience like it for a lifetime, and will also keep the performers chasing for a lifetime.
