NEWSFLASH: Dark Alley II gets a regional nomination
13 October 2008 Monday | RadioDrama, 「暗巷 II」

O. M. G.

I’ve just received news that DARK ALLEY II will be competing in the Best Radio Drama Category of the Asia Pacific Broadcasting Union Prizes 2008.

Although I won’t be attending the ceremony in Bali next month, I’m extremely excited and deeply honoured as this is the only Singapore nomination in this year’s list , and sole ASEAN entry in the Radio category.

I’m up against regional titans such as Japan’s NHK and China National Radio (中央人民广播电台),so I’m not harbouring any winning ambitions. Getting such a regional nomination is already a huge pat on my back… Though the US$2,000 cash prize sounds rather enticing.

Two cheers and two cheers for Dark Alley II!
27 December 2007 Thursday | 「暗巷 II」

這是一首簡單的小情歌
唱著人們心腸的曲折
我想我很快樂 當有你的溫熱
腳邊的空氣轉了

這是一首簡單的小情歌
唱著我們心頭的白鴿
我想我很適合 當一個歌頌者
青春在風中飄著

總有一天,你一定會有報應的! ”
“四年的時間,應該足夠忘記一個人吧⋯⋯”
“對不起。看來你不用等我了。我這次趕不回來了⋯⋯”

I thought I would be disqualified. They stated clearly that each entry was to be accompanied with a full transcript translated in English. I thought it was too much of a hassle, and decided to write a couple of lines and submit a printout of this blog entry together with an audio extract instead.

And I won! Woohoo!

In a recent internal judging, DARK ALLEY II was given the Most Creative Programme Award.

“…a radio drama with a fresh plot, good narration/acting and interesting cliffhanger. Interactive with listeners guessing the finale and generated a high number of comments online…”

謝謝評審團。這是我第一次得到專業獎項。還有獎金! 謝謝。都說我不是偶像派了。那些人氣獎項都是美麗的誤會。 哇哈哈哈。

謝謝三大主角陳麗儀、 黃鎮濤、 Jean Danker, 以及眾多配角與路人全情演出、 王德明的精彩旁述、 以及在關鍵時刻提供大結局靈感的朋友們。感謝大家喜歡「暗巷II」。謝謝!

終極暗巷
20 October 2007 Saturday | 「暗巷 II」

終於完了。

幾個星期的準備造就了六十分鐘的「暗巷2」。

在非常有限的時間內,完成對白的擬寫、召集二十多人錄音、並在天寒地凍的錄音室完成所有的剪輯與配樂。因為在同一時候也在進行(很多)其他的工作,全國最文靜DJ在那幾個星期成為了全臺情緒最緊繃DJ。被我罵的人遠遠超過參與這次錄「暗巷2」的人數。唯一的藉口就是:搞創意的人, 脾氣比一般人更難以捉摸。

「暗巷2.1」播完,我是開心的。像是跑完了一場馬拉松。排名已經不是關鍵,最重要是完成之後那種身在其中才能體會的滿足感。也真的覺得「暗巷2」做的比「暗巷1」出色。當時沒有任何經驗,像是身陷迷宮自找出路。推出自己第一部製作的廣播劇雖是誠意滿分,但針對「暗巷1」的專業評語應該就是“有待進步”。

「暗巷2.1」莊靜活著;偉倫死了。

她是必須活下來的。她一開始就是悲劇人物。父母的離異讓天長地久這四個字變成了遙不可及的口號。

他是必須死的。他的離開粉粹了她想要得到幸福的任何企圖。

有人提出陰謀論: 偉倫其實沒有死。他只是流落荒島,有一天可能斷手/斷腳/失憶,並在續集出現。

作為此劇的編劇兼製作人兼第一男主角,我在這裡斬釘截鐵地告訴大家: 雖然沒有聽到飛機爆炸,也沒有聽到臨終前的慘叫聲,陳偉倫以後的的確確只能“永在懷念中”。

故事到這裡就好。不會再有「暗巷2.1.1」或「暗巷3」。

下一次,可能不會再自導自演。 「暗巷2.1」陳偉倫打電話的那一場戲非常重要。成與敗就靠那段了。真的是花了三天三夜思考:應該“緊張萬分”,或是“平淡面對”。只聞有人拍電影入戲太深,沒聽說​​過做廣播劇也會如此這般。

謝謝你聽了「暗巷2」。謝謝你喜歡「暗巷2」。

「暗巷2.1」 – Counting down
17 October 2007 Wednesday | 「暗巷 II」

I’m not sure how many jaws will drop when the concluding episode of Season 2 airs tomorrow… And I’m wondering if you would be surprised to hear that the final scene has yet to be finalised.

Haiyohz.

There will be three major scenes in DARK ALLEY 2.1 tomorrow night. All the question marks that were planted in Episode 5 will then turn into fullstops and/or exclamation marks.

I’ve completed the mixing of the first two scenes, and was completely lost while trying to do the final portion. It’s easy for the director to tell people, “No good. Too over the top. Do another take, with more emotions.” It’s very difficult to direct myself lah.

The guru of radio dramas, Li Xie was consulted this evening. She was like the beacon in a stormy sea. LOL. Thanks! :)
