最佳廣播故事短片

你有沒有試過聲情并茂地獨自講故事，并把這個過程錄下來自我欣賞和陶醉一番？下面我們來欣賞一下第三海岸國際廣播節(jié)推出的最佳廣播故事短片，看看這些獲獎作品的優(yōu)秀之處在哪里。

Linda Wertheimer （Host）： Since 2000， the Third Coast International Audio Festival has been curating some of the best audio stories from around the world. One of the 1）submission categories is： short documentaries. These are pieces no longer than three minutes. This years theme for short docs was： appetite. Joining us from member station WBEZ in Chicago to talk about the winners is Third Coasts artistic director Julie Shapiro. So， could you lay out the 2）ground rules for the short doc competition？

Julie Shapiro： Sure. Every year， we invite anyone and everyone to submit short stories based on a theme that we decide on with a partner. This years partner was the James Beard Foundation， so the theme for this years stories was appetite. But we didnt make it that easy. You also had to follow a couple of other rules. You had to present your story in three， 3）quote-unquote， “courses，”and you had to put one of the five tastes in the title.

Wertheimer： How many 4）entries did you get？

Shapiro： We ended up with a record 250 short docs submitted from around the world.

Wertheimer： Julie， could you tell us about the 5）first runner-up， which is called “Sweet Baby June Eats the World？”

Shapiro： Sure. So， this is a three-minute story about one night in the life of the producers eight-month-old daughter and him and his own life. And Nat Largee is a public radio producer down in Austin， Texas. And he produced “Sweet Baby June Eats the World.”

Wertheimer： Were just giving you a slice of “Sweet Baby June.”Shapiro： Just one course.

Nat Largee： （Reading） 3：17 A.M.， the second bottle.

（Soundbite of Baby Crying）

Largee： （Reading） Open， water， 6）formula， close， shake， pop.（Soundbite of Baby Crying）

Largee： （Reading） Serve. Sometimes Ill watch her while she sleeps， wonder what she dreams about， the faraway places and the pictures in that magazine she ate yesterday. Or just the feel of that 7）glossy paper 8）soggy in her mouth， the sound as she 9）crinkles the paper in her tiny， clumsy hands. After all， the worlds hers to consume， every sight， smell and 10）texture is new and wonderful， and shes hungry for it all.

Wertheimer： You know， I never realized that it was such a universal thing that babies eat magazines.

Shapiro： Yeah. Apparently， this is the universal baby habit. As the mother of a two-year-old， I can relate very well to those long nights.

Wertheimer： The third place finisher also has sweet in the title. Its called “Sweet Cheesecake Heartbreak.”

Shapiro： Yeah. “Sweet Cheesecake Heartbreak： Three Dates”is by Katie Talarski（ph）， whos a reporter out in Connecticut. And her one-sentence summary sums it up： spicy 11）kielbasa， sweet cheesecake and a glass of 12）merlot— the foodstuffs of great and horrible dates.

Katie Talarski： （Reading） It was a private party in a private room with a private wine tasting， a great date with a 13）foodie. One of only a handful with this guy， but who cares？ When youre eating a four-course meal with wine 14）pairings and the chef is personally serving your food， another glass of merlot， a tour through your wine cellar—of course， I can get used to this. Although our love is not everlasting， this meal seems to be.

Unidentified Man： Another course， madam.

Wertheimer： Now， this years winner， you get to announce this one.

Shapiro： My pleasure. Its “Blackbird Potpie： Not the Pie 15）Umami Made.” It gets some creative points for use of umami in the title. Heres a summary of it： For South Jersey resident John Farner（ph）， sing a song of sixpence is more than just a nursery rhyme， its supper. Unidentified Children： （Singing） Sing a song of sixpence， pocket full of 16）rye.

John Farner： （Singing） Ive got blackbirds. Ive got blackbirds. Norris Pew was a 17）huckster who used to sell blackbirds in his pushcart for 50 cents a peach basketful. See， hucksters would come around when everything was in season： blackbirds， catfish， 18）clams， vegetables， 19）muskrats， whatever.

Unidentified Children： （Singing） Four and 20 blackbirds baked in a pie.

Farner： Im John E. Farner from Salem， New Jersey. And as a youngster， my grandmother was a very good cook. One of the things she cooked for us during the season， which was always in the fall， was blackbird potpie.

（Soundbite of Whistling）

Farner： Well， the saying said you need 20 and four. Whatever you bought， 50， 60， 70 birds， it was all put in that one pie. Before you cooked them， you cut the head off but you left the feet on. So， you had something to hold on to when you got your blackbird.

Unidentified Children： （Singing） When the pie was opened， little birds began to sing， wasnt that a 20）dainty dish to set before the king？

Farner： Its a very gentle taste. It doesnt taste like chicken. When you ate the blackbirds， you picked them up very carefully and held one end by the feet and the other by the neck， and you very softly chewed or sucked the meat off the blackbird till all the meat was gone， then you got another blackbird. Cause when you got the feathers off， there wasnt much left of that little bird. I mean， a blackbirds not too big—a little bigger than a mans thumb. When we ate our blackbird potpie， someone would always remember a song they sang about the blackbirds. （Singing） Sing a song of sixpence， a pocket full of rye， four and 20 blackbirds baked in a pie. When the pie was opened， the birds began to sing， wasnt that a dainty dish to set before the king？ A dainty dish—a little bird like that. It was dainty， all right.

Wertheimer： So， that was the entire short doc and it was lovely. I think that was great. What made this one stand out to the judges， do you think？

Shapiro： I think whoever hears this， first and foremost， responds to Johns voice. Theres so much personality and emotion and character in his voice. But I think this one takes you back to your own childhood and lets you think about all of your sort of 21）nostalgic childhood food memories growing up. So， in the way that it responds to appetite， I think it stirs a lot of appetites for thinking about the past and learning more about food culture and the stories behind the food that we eat.

琳達(dá)·沃特海默（主持人）：自2000年以來，第三海岸國際廣播節(jié)已經(jīng)從全世界選拔出一批最優(yōu)秀的廣播故事。其中一個投稿類別就是：紀(jì)錄短片。就是一些不超過三分鐘的作品。今年的短片主題是：美味。來自芝加哥兄弟電臺WBEZ的朱莉·夏皮羅，也是第三海岸的藝術(shù)總監(jiān)，為我們講評獲獎作品。那么，你能不能列出短片比賽的一些基本原則？

朱莉·夏皮羅：當(dāng)然可以。我們跟合作伙伴設(shè)定主題，邀請各界人士根據(jù)主題提交短片故事。今年的合作伙伴是詹姆斯比爾德基金會（譯者注：那是全美飲食界的權(quán)威機構(gòu)，其設(shè)的獎項被譽為烹調(diào)界的“奧斯卡”獎），所以今年故事的主題是美味。但是并不那么簡單，你還要遵循其他一些規(guī)則。你必須在你的故事短片里體現(xiàn)所謂的三道菜，題目里還要有五味中的一種味道。

沃特海默：你收到了多少參賽作品？

夏皮羅：我們最后收到了從世界各地提交的250個短片。

沃特海默：朱莉，你能不能給我們講一下第二名的作品，叫做《甜心寶貝瓊品嘗世界》。

夏皮羅：好的。這個三分鐘的故事講述了一天晚上，制片人和他八個月大的女兒的生活片段。納特·拉奇是得克薩斯州奧斯丁一家公共廣播電臺的制片人，他制作了《甜心寶貝瓊品嘗世界》。

沃特海默：我們來聽聽《甜心寶貝瓊品嘗世界》的一個小片段。

夏皮羅：只有一道菜。

納特·拉奇：（講述）凌晨3點17分，第二瓶。（嬰兒啼哭聲）

拉奇：（講述）打開奶瓶、倒水、放奶粉、蓋上、搖勻、去掉頂蓋。（嬰兒啼哭聲）

拉奇：（講述）喂奶。有時我會在她熟睡的時候看著她，想知道她夢到了什么：是她昨天咬的那本雜志里的那些遙遠(yuǎn)的地方和圖片？還是那張平滑的紙在她嘴里黏濕的感覺？或是報紙在她小小的笨拙的手里弄皺時發(fā)出的聲音？畢竟她的世界是用品嘗來認(rèn)知，每一眼、每種味道和每個觸覺都是嶄新和奇妙的，她對一切都如此渴望。

沃特海默：你知道，我從來沒想到寶寶吃雜志是件非常普遍的事情。

夏皮羅：是的。很明顯，這是寶寶很普遍的習(xí)慣。作為兩歲寶寶的媽媽，我很能理解那些漫漫長夜里的故事。

沃特海默：第三名獲獎?wù)叩念}目也有個甜字，題目叫《心碎的甜芝士蛋糕》。

夏皮羅：是的?！缎乃榈奶鹬ナ康案猓喝渭s會》的作者是凱蒂·塔拉斯基，她是康涅狄格州的一名記者。她的一句話總結(jié)是：辣波蘭熏腸、甜芝士蛋糕和一杯梅鹿輒葡萄酒——很棒的美食和糟糕的約會。

凱蒂·塔拉斯基：（講述）那是在私人家庭里舉行的私人派對，當(dāng)中有私人的葡萄酒品嘗會，也是我跟一個美食家的美妙約會。這是我跟他僅有的幾次約會中的其中一次，但誰在乎呢？當(dāng)你在享用一頓配有葡萄酒的四道菜的

美餐，大廚親自為你服務(wù)，再來一杯梅鹿輒葡萄酒，一路走向你的酒窖——當(dāng)然，我會習(xí)慣這樣。盡管我們的愛不能天長地久，但是這頓飯似乎永生難忘。

匿名男聲：這是另一道菜，小姐。

沃特海默：現(xiàn)在，你要宣布今年的冠軍得主了。夏皮羅：樂意之至。題目是《黑鳥餡餅：并非媽媽做的美味餡餅》，在題目中用到“umami”一詞頗有些獨具匠心（譯者注：umami在這里既指美味，也指your mommy你媽媽的意思）。故事的大意是：南澤西的居民約翰·法納唱一首六便士的歌，那不僅僅是首兒歌，那是頓晚餐。

匿名小孩：（唱）唱一首六便士的歌，一口袋的黑麥。

約翰·法納：（唱）我有黑鳥，我有黑鳥。諾里斯·皮尤是個小販，他過去常常推著他的手推車賣黑鳥，50美分買滿一大籃子?？窗?，當(dāng)季食物上市的時候，小販們就會在周圍叫賣：有黑鳥、鯰魚、蛤、蔬菜、麝鼠等等。

匿名小孩：（唱）二十四只黑鳥放進一個餡餅里烤。

法納：我來自新澤西塞勒姆的約翰·法納。我年輕的時候，奶奶很擅長做菜。她在當(dāng)季，通常是在秋天做得最好的美食是黑鳥肉餡餅。

（口哨聲）

法納：嗯，俗話說，你需要二十四只。無論你買50、60還是70只鳥，都會全部放進一個餡餅里。煮之前，把頭切掉，保留雙腿。這樣你要吃黑鳥時，有腿才能抓得穩(wěn)。

匿名小孩：（唱）餡餅打開的時候，眾鳥高唱，難道那不是為國王專供的美味佳肴嗎？

法納：這道菜口感柔和，不像雞肉。你要吃黑鳥時，一頭抓腿一頭抓脖子小心翼翼地拿起，輕輕地咬或吸黑鳥的肉，直到吃完所有的肉，接著再吃另外一只。因為當(dāng)你把羽毛拔掉，這只小鳥就所剩無幾了。我的意思是，黑鳥并不大，只是比人的大拇指稍大一些而已。當(dāng)我們吃黑鳥肉餡餅的時候，有人總會想起關(guān)于黑鳥的歌曲。（唱）唱一首六便士的歌，一口袋的黑麥。二十四只黑鳥放進一個餡餅里。餡餅打開的時候，眾鳥高唱，難道那不是為國王專供的美味佳肴嗎？美味的佳肴，如斯小鳥。很美味，沒錯。

沃特海默：那么，這就是短片的全部內(nèi)容，很生動。我覺得很棒。你認(rèn)為是什么東西讓評委覺得這個故事出類拔萃？

夏皮羅：我認(rèn)為無論誰聽到這個短片，首先會受到約翰聲音的感染。他的聲音里充滿了個性、感情和特點。然而我覺得這個聲音會讓你回到童年，讓你回憶起成長過程中所有值得懷念的食物。所以一方面它是呼應(yīng)了美味的主題，我認(rèn)為它引發(fā)了更多的聯(lián)想，讓我們想起過去，學(xué)習(xí)更多的飲食文化，還有我們所吃食物背后的故事。
