Parental Love: Jiang Weimin's Life of Lying Down

That afternoon, Song Wenqing brought Jiang Weimin and Shan Tianfang to Qingdao Radio Station.

When Director Lin Ming heard that the three people had arrived, he quickly came to the door to greet them.

"President Song, you are here. Welcome, welcome."

"Xiao Jiang, Tian Fang, let me introduce you. This is Director Lin of Qingdao Radio Station."

"Hello, Director Lin." Jiang Weimin and Shan Tianfang greeted in unison.

"Hello." Lin Ming responded enthusiastically and shook hands with them cordially.

"Director Lin, thank you very much for allowing us to use your recording equipment."

"President Song, you are too polite. Just as we agreed before, you can come a little later these days.

After we finish work here, I will arrange for the recording staff to fully cooperate with you."

"Thank you so much! Director Lin, the subsidies for these staff members will be borne by our publishing house."

"Okay, President Song, your publishing house is really generous! Not only do you provide the recorded storytelling for free, you also cover the subsidies for our employees."

"Director Lin, we are helping each other!"

"Yes, yes, President Song, why did you suddenly think of recording storytelling? Haven't you been engaged in the printing industry?"

"Haha, isn't this just to better promote the comic books of our publishing house?"

"I see! President Song, I've also heard of Shan Tianfang. She is indeed talented in storytelling.

Can you transfer him to our radio station? I can help record your comic strips for free and promote them for free. How about that? "

If Jiang Weimin had not done the math for him, Song Wenqing would have definitely been tempted by such favorable conditions.

"Director Lin, I'm really sorry. Shan Tianfang was seconded from somewhere else by the higher-level department and does not have any working relationship with us."

"Is that so! Then forget it." Lin Ming was not considering the benefits, but thought that Shan Tianfang was a rare talent and would have more room to display his talents at Qingdao Radio Station.

Afterwards, Lin Ming brought Song Wenqing and the other two to the recording studio and introduced them to the studio staff: producers, sound engineers and technicians.

Originally, these three people had some complaints about helping Qingdao Publishing House record storytelling, but when they learned that Qingdao Publishing House was willing to provide subsidies, they immediately became happy.

"President Song, did you guys tape the recording?"

"I brought two tapes, in case there were any anomalies," Shan Tianfang quickly replied, and took out two large open-reel tapes from her bag and handed them to the sound engineer. Each of these large open-reel tapes can record for 120 minutes.

“How are you going to record it?”

"We plan to record one episode every 20 minutes, and one tape will record 1 episodes. Please help follow up."

After hearing the request, Lin Ming explained it to the producer.

After Shan Tianfang became familiar with the process, he started recording. However, the recording process was not as smooth as expected.

Jiang Weimin keenly noticed that Shan Tianfang didn't seem to be fully in the mood, and couldn't help asking, "What's wrong with Teacher Shan?"

Shan Tianfang shook his head helplessly and explained, "Wei Min, this is my first time recording this storytelling, and I just can't find the feeling.

Compared to performing on stage, there is a huge difference between the two.

When I perform on stage, I can adjust my performance by observing the audience's reactions.

But in the studio, without the audience’s reaction, I don’t know how to continue telling stories.”

Jiang Weimin pondered for a moment and realized that storytelling and crosstalk are actually the same. They both need to judge whether their performance is successful based on the reaction of the audience.

Without audience feedback, it would be difficult to find the right rhythm and tone, which would affect the quality of the entire performance.

"Teacher Shan, I think you can judge whether your storytelling is attractive by observing the expressions of the staff in the recording studio."

Shan Tianfang's eyes lit up. This was indeed a good idea. After all, there was a huge glass window in the recording studio, and he could clearly see the reactions of the staff outside.

Not long after, Shan Tianfang regained his form through Jiang Weimin's method.

However, Song Wenqing frowned and said to Jiang Weimin, "Xiao Jiang, is it really okay for Tian Fang to have such a hoarse voice? Generally speaking, doesn't storytelling require a clear and bright voice?"

Jiang Weimin smiled and replied: "President, although Teacher Shan has a hoarse voice, Teacher Shan Tianfang's control of pronunciation and intonation is very precise, her pronunciation is clear, and her rhythm is well controlled. Most people can't find this state.

Moreover, this hoarse voice contains a sense of vicissitudes and heaviness, as if carrying countless stories and the accumulation of years.

It makes the stories told by Teacher Shan more charming and appealing, making it easier for the audience to immerse themselves in them.”

After hearing Jiang Weimin's explanation, Song Wenqing put aside his worries and immersed himself in Shan Tianfang's storytelling.

Jiang Weimin also felt that listening to teacher Shan Tianfang's storytelling live was a very unique and unforgettable experience.

Teacher Shan Tianfang's voice is highly recognizable and infectious. Her slightly hoarse but powerful voice seems to have a magical power that can instantly bring the audience into the world depicted in the storytelling.

At the scene, the impact of this sound is even stronger, making you feel as if you are in the scene where the story takes place, as if you were there in person.

Shan Tianfang vividly shows the characters' joys, sorrows, anger, and happiness, as well as their ups and downs, through changes in voice, such as the ups and downs of tone, the speed of speech, and the weight of voice.

Whether it is the grasp of the story rhythm or the shaping of the characters, they are all displayed vividly.

After two hours of recording, Shan Tianfang couldn't find the rhythm at the beginning, so only 5 episodes were recorded on one tape.

After the recording was completed, the studio staff looked at Shan Tianfang with excitement and admiration.

The sound engineer Shan Tianfang walked over to the man who was packing up his things and said, "Your performance today was really great. It was more interesting than the storytelling I heard on the radio before."

Shan Tianfang showed a happy expression, "Thank you for the compliment, and thank you for your cooperation."

"Not only can we listen to storytelling for free, but we can also get subsidies. It's so lucky! I'm looking forward to you coming every day!"

"Then I may trouble you during this period. I may have to come here for more than a month."

"No trouble, no trouble. Comrade Shan Tianfang, who exactly is the spy in the storytelling you are talking about?"

The first series recorded by Qingdao Publishing House this time is the Police Dog Attack series.

At this time Jiang Weimin also came over.

"Teacher, if you want to hear what happens next, please listen to the next chapter. But if you want to know in advance, you can buy a comic book and read it. The answer is in the book."

Then he looked at Shan Tianfang and said, "Teacher Shan, congratulations, your first recording was successful."
