"Glorious detective, loyal 803, you use your passion and tenderness to weave an olive song." Whether it is at dusk when the lights are on, or when the moon is shining brightly, At night, when you turn on the radio and hear the familiar melody and emotional lyrics of the theme song of the large-scale radio series "Interpol 803", you will be immersed in excitement, happiness and memories of the past.
This radio literary and artistic work praising contemporary Chinese criminal police, jointly recorded by the Shanghai People's Broadcasting Station Literature and Art Station and the Legal Propaganda Department of the Shanghai Public Security Bureau, has become a famous brand of China's large-scale radio drama series, "803" It has also become the exclusive title of "Chinese criminal police" in Shanghai and even adjacent areas.
Shanghai People's Broadcasting Station officially launched "Interpol 803" on August 10, 1990. It was broadcast on 990 kHz and 1197 kHz every day and was rebroadcast the next day. On June 12, 1991, Shanghai People's Broadcasting Station finished broadcasting the first batch of 20 movies and 102 episodes. The broadcast of "Interpol 803" was well received by the audience and caused a great sensation in the society. It has the momentum of "one stone stirs up thousands of waves, one drama seizes the hearts of thousands of people". Dozens of domestic and foreign newspapers, publications, radio stations, TV stations and other news media have successively published news and comments, reporting on the activities and audience reactions related to the radio drama "Interpol 803". For a time, "Interpol 803" became a hot topic of discussion in the streets and after dinner. The audience was fascinated by it and received rave reviews because "Interpol 803" has thrilling plot content and twists and turns; the characters are humorous, profound, and emotional. It embodies the outstanding style of contemporary criminal police and shows the beautiful soul of contemporary criminal police.
Since August 1, 1994, Shanghai People's Broadcasting Station has launched a new sequel of "Interpol 803", 19 parts and 105 episodes. The sequel is distinctive and engaging. The social capacity of the play has become richer, the plot layout and suspense setting appear more sophisticated, and the characters of the main characters in the play are also fuller. It can be evaluated this way: The broadcast of "double hundred episodes" of the large-scale radio series "Interpol 803" created an "unprecedented" Chinese radio drama and ushered in a "glorious era" of radio literary and artistic works. It just so happens that I have a special affection, a God-given opportunity and an incomprehensible fate with the creation and recording of the radio drama "Interpol 803".
In early January 1985, I was transferred from the Shanghai Putuo Public Security Bureau to the newly established Legal Propaganda Department of the Shanghai Public Security Bureau. I was responsible for the external literary and artistic publicity work on the public security legal content, and worked with Shanghai Radio and Television Stations. , the Municipal Federation of Trade Unions, the Municipal Justice Bureau and some literary and artistic groups have close contacts and cooperate a lot. At that time, it was a wonderful time for the Renaissance after the reform and opening up. Legal content and public security themes became people's first choice of popular topics. In April 1987, when I went to Kunming, Yunnan Province to participate in the Cai Feng Bao pen meeting, Ma Xinfang, editor of Cai Feng Bao and director of the Shanghai New Story Society, discussed with me our intention to jointly develop literary and artistic works on public security themes. Soon after, Ma Xinfang "married" the Shanghai police and the radio station and became the "matchmaker" of "Interpol 803". It was through him that I became acquainted with Qu Xinhua, a playwright of Shanghai People's Broadcasting Station. This member of the Chinese Dramatists Association and the Shanghai Writers Association is a talented, diligent and dedicated doer. At that time, he had created and published more than 1 million words of various drama works, and published a special collection of radio dramas "The Train Arrives at Dawn". Some radio dramas were translated into foreign languages ??and broadcast abroad. More than ten drama works were awarded by the Ministry of Culture and the National The grand prize in sex competitions. I think that if Qu Xinhua takes the lead on behalf of the radio station and the Shanghai Public Security Bureau to jointly organize a series of large-scale public security-themed radio dramas, there will definitely be results. Therefore, I reported to Xu Zhirong, the leader of the Legal Propaganda Department, the preliminary ideas, creative ideas, and feasibility of joint efforts we discussed. Lao Xu affirmed and agreed with our ideas and ideas. He also made three points: first, the radio station should issue a letter of introduction and contact the public security in the name of the organization; second, we should write a written request to the leaders of the municipal bureau and obtain support from relevant departments of the municipal bureau system; third, we should My colleague Yuan Mingshan and I actively participated in joint cooperation to get this matter done.
I guess I'm young and don't look too old. He guessed that I haven't been "working" in the Public Security Bureau for a few years. Upon hearing my answer, the guard looked blank and stood still. Another guard in the guard room said hello quickly: "Please get in the car, please get in the car." At the same time, he opened the railing and our car drove into the Criminal Investigation Department compound.
A few days later, we were at the Yongjia Road base, where we focused on discussing the title of the play, the main characters in the play, their personalities, hobbies, and their relationships with each other. A playwright said: "The day before yesterday, we were kicked out of the car at the entrance of the Criminal Investigation Department. I saw the house number 803, Zhongshan North 1st Road, hanging on the door. The title of the radio drama should be "Interpol 803"." When everyone heard it, seven There was a lot of discussion, and a general consensus was quickly formed. They all thought that the title of the play was good, very vivid, and very loud. Some people suggested that the radio station and the police should discuss it after they go back. After I returned to my work unit, I reported it to Comrade Xu Zhirong. Lao Xu said that the title of the play was good, and the police decided on it. The next day, Qu Xinhua brought a message. He said that the radio station thought the title of the play was good. The problem was that the radio station's standard broadcasting meant that "○" should not be read as "zero", but should be read as "hole", and "803" should be read as "hole". It becomes "8 holes 3", how awkward this is. Everyone suggested that radio stations should adapt to the needs of drama titles and adapt to the listening habits of the broad audience. In the end, the station accepted the suggestion. The title of "Interpol 803" has been officially determined. When writing this article, I checked my work diary, and on September 13, 1989, I wrote down the title of the radio drama "Interpol 803".
Time passes, and the past is like smoke. Recalling this little episode that happened when the name was chosen, I sincerely thank the doorman for providing a "spark" that inspired the playwright. This is probably a kind of fate! The radio drama "Interpol 803" uses sound as a carrier and is transmitted through radio waves, flying to thousands of households, scorching the eardrums of the audience and shocking the hearts of thousands of listeners. I would like to pick up tidbits beyond the airwaves for readers.
The theme song and interlude are deeply emotional, long and touching. In order to cooperate with the broadcast of "Interpol 803", the radio station and the Municipal Public Security Bureau openly solicited theme song lyrics and episode lyrics from the public. In more than a month, they received more than a thousand submissions from the city and other places. At the same time, a writing session for professional lyricists in the city was also organized. After screening and evaluating the submissions, the lyrics of Jia Lifu and Jia Yan were finally selected as the theme song. The music was composed by radio composers and radio drama music and sound editors Yang Shuhua and Yang Shujing, using popular music language and electroacoustic band, and using a large-scale The music concept uses some modern composition techniques to express the emotions and style of contemporary criminal police in many aspects. The radio station also held a trial review meeting for the theme song and interlude performances in the studio, soliciting opinions from the participating police officers, radio stations and invited professionals, and striving for perfection. The radio station's creative staff's pursuit of excellence and professionalism in artistic pursuits are admirable and admirable.
Remember the heroes and order songs to pay tribute. While we were intensively preparing for the opening ceremony and press conference of "Interpol 803", it was the first anniversary of the death of Interpol Sheng Lingfa. On July 28, 1989, Sheng Lingfa, deputy captain of the Second Team of the Criminal Investigation Division of the Shanghai Public Security Bureau, led six criminal policemen and died heroically in a heroic fight while chasing fugitives at Shanghai Nanguo Restaurant. Three other criminal policemen were injured. The Ministry of Public Security posthumously awarded Sheng Lingfa the title of Level 2 Heroic Model on the Public Security Front. The Shanghai Municipal Government approved him as a revolutionary martyr, and the Municipal Party Committee posthumously recognized him as an outstanding Communist Party member in Shanghai. In order to commemorate the heroes and express deep condolences to Sheng Lingfa’s wife and daughter, the Legal Propaganda Department of the Municipal Bureau and former comrades-in-arms of Sheng Lingfa ordered the theme song and episode of "Interpol 803" on the radio station's "Movies and TV Dramas" column. At the same time, the "Film and TV Drama" reporter also interviewed Sheng Lingfa's wife. On the anniversary of Sheng Lingfa's death, it was broadcast for three consecutive days. I will never forget 16 years ago, when the announcer came on the radio with a sad and deep voice, introducing the background of the Nanguo Restaurant murder case, and then the theme song and episode of "Interpol 803" were played. I had tears in my eyes and couldn't help myself. .
Ten days later, on August 9, 1990, the opening ceremony and press conference of the radio drama "Interpol 803" was held grandly at the Shanghai Audio and Video Archives, No. 44 Yueyang Road.
Radio stations, police, the China Radio Drama Research Association and more than 20 news media attended the opening ceremony. At the meeting, the actors recited some of the lyrics of the "Interpol 803" theme song and interlude, performed excerpts from "Interpol 803", and sang the theme song and interlude. I still keep and collect the opening invitations, commemorative cards, and commemorative bags as treasures. Sometimes they are taken out to stare at and appreciate, to caress the object with nostalgia and express their feelings.
Radio drama is a comprehensive art of language and sound effects. The popularity of "Interpol 803" is due to its novel plot concept, rich and colorful content, thrilling and confusing plot, vivid and delicate actors' performances, unpredictable and lifelike sound effects, which stirred the audience's eardrums and captured the audience's attention. Famous voice actors Qiao Zhen, Cao Lei, Ding Jianhua, Liu Guangning, Wang Wei, Weng Zhenxin, Wang Jianxin, etc. from Shanghai Film Translation Factory and film and television stars Da Shichang, Xi Meijuan, Lu Liang, Lin Dongfu, etc. co-starred, strengthening the language charm of the radio drama and becoming "Interpol" One of the "highlights" of 803". The cast is strong, the stars are gathered, and the elite are gathered together, which is rare in the history of radio dramas.
After the 102 episodes of "Interpol 803" were broadcast, the Shanghai Urban Social and Economic Investigation Team was commissioned to conduct a questionnaire survey among 500 listeners of the "Interpol 803" program in June and July 1991. , the written questionnaire*** has 15 questions. 97.6% of the audience were satisfied or relatively satisfied with "Interpol 803", and 90% of the audience requested that a sequel of "Interpol 803" be continued to be produced and broadcast.
In the "Film and TV Drama" column, the radio station held a call for essays on the mini-drama "Interpol 803". The audience responded enthusiastically. In addition to listeners in this city, there were also Suzhou, Wuxi, Hangzhou, Jiaxing, Shaoxing, etc. Contributions from local audiences. The radio station continuously broadcasts audience drama reviews in columns, and audience submissions continue to pour in to the radio station. More than 2,000 submissions created a two-way interactive effect between the radio station and the audience.
The marriage of the main character Liu Gang (codename "803") in the play has become a hot topic of concern to the audience. Liu Gang had no time to take care of his family, which led to the divorce of his wife Zhong Ye, and his daughter Wenwen also passed away with her mother. However, "being ruthless may not necessarily make you a hero." Liu Gang still felt deeply attached to his wife and daughter with a feeling of self-blame. At this moment, female reporter Liang Da fell in love with Liu because of her interview with Liu Gang. Liu Gang also had a surge of emotion, but his love for his wife and daughter made him wander on the emotional road. Where does Liu Gang's love go? Where does love go? And how to design the ending of "Interpol 803"?
The radio station's "Film and TV Drama" column and the "Weekly Radio and Television News" published information soliciting listeners to design the ending of "Interpol 803". Within a week, hundreds of letters and submissions were received. To this end, on December 22, 1990, the radio station invited 10 audience representatives to participate in the "Shanghai Audiences Talk about the Ending Symposium of '803'". At the meeting, everyone expressed their opinions and their own reasons. The ending of "Happy Reunion" dominates, reflecting the audience's kind and beautiful wishes: "803 is also an emotional person. He is busy with work and forgets to care about his family. When his wife broke up with him, there was no emotional difference, but a temporary incomprehension. The ending should be Let Liu Gang and his wife Zhong Ye get back together. From a social sense, contemporary society requires sacrifice and dedication. As a representative of this group, Liu Gang would be heartbreaking if he could not get the understanding and love of his wife in the end. It leaves a great regret to the audience." Another opinion said: "The happy ending will fall into the old traditional pattern and the ending should be designed with Liu Gang's sacrifice and his daughter Wenwen going abroad. Taking care of Liu Gang. In order to hunt down the gunman, Zhong Ye turned his love for Liu Gang into a noble motherly love. This ending is more in line with the dangerous and dedicated nature of criminal police work." Another representative suggested: "It doesn't have to be at the end. It is not mandatory that Liu Gang and Zhong Ye get back together or that Liu Gang and reporter Liang Da build a love nest again, but the intention is not stated, leaving more room for the audience's imagination."
On February 8, 1991. On the occasion of the Chinese New Year, the radio station and the public security jointly held the "True and Fake "803" Large-scale Party" at the Galaxy Hotel. The director and actors of the radio drama "Interpol 803" met with hundreds of detectives on the Shanghai Criminal Investigation Front to have a party and interact with each other. Talk about friendship.
These real and fake "803" who "don't know each other but know each other by heart" gathered together to exchange emotions. The headline used in the newspaper was "Detective Stars Meet in the "Galaxy"". At the meeting, Gong Xueping, then director of the Shanghai Radio and Television Bureau, sent a message that the radio drama "Interpol 803" would be on the screen and go to the world. Yi Qingyao, then deputy director of the Municipal Public Security Bureau, praised the artistic charm and unique status of Chinese criminal investigation dramas with "Shanghai style" characteristics.
