Character reports are an important part of the media. How to write characters is also a question that reporters often think about.

The author edited such manuscripts for many years, and now I should write my experience and share with you some friends.

There are many requirements for writing character reports, but in my opinion, the following "three grasping" requirements are mainly to grasp the characteristics, grasp the scene, and grasp the details. The manuscript will be bright when implementing this "three grasping".

1. Grasp characteristics

Between heaven and earth, all beings. There are commonality between people, but more personality, characteristics, and differences. The first thing we engage in characters is to capture the characteristics of people and write this characteristic.

Reports from some advanced characters and typical characters in the media are often published. It is also necessary to follow this concept of "grasping characteristics" and strive to write "this one" instead of "one" (German philosopher Hegel).

At that time, the report of Jiao Yulu, a reporter from Xinhua News Agency, wrote the characteristics of Jiao Yulu: that is his love for the people.

At that time, Fan Rongkang, a reporter from the People's Daily, wrote the spirit of Daqing's spirit of Daqing, and wrote the spirit of Daqing people under the conditions of "hard work" under the conditions of hardships and hardships.

Similarly, the same is true for we to write celebrities. Only by writing its characteristics can people impress people.

From October 2004 to November 2006, the "People's Daily" overseas version had a column of "Celebrity Interview". When discussing how to write a manuscript, everyone said that it is better to write its characteristics.

For example, writer Sun Li, to write his "loneliness": he rarely participates in social activities in his later years, buried his heads all day, and diligently cultivated.

Another example is Ren Jiyu, the former curator of the National Library and a philosopher, to write his "light": indifferent fame and fortune, and devoted himself to organizing ancient books.

Another example is to write a cartoonist Fang Cheng, to write his "busy": he has three sentences from the question: life has always been very common, writing and writing articles on cycling, health rely on one word- "busy".

For example, Wang Zengqi, who wrote a prose, wanted to write his "miscellaneous": Wang Zengqi has a wide range of themes and diverse forms; he can also cook and cook well, so that his neighbors and friends can taste.

With these "writing", the characteristics of the characters have surfaced, giving people a refreshing feeling.

In all fairness, there are many reports on the media on the media, but there are not many impressions that can really move people's hearts and leave people. Why does this happen? One of the reasons is that the characteristics of the characters are not prominent and not distinct, and they seem to be almost the same. Of course, people have no impression.

2. Grasp the scene

Grasp the scene and talk about some vivid movements, scenes and dialogues of the interview site for detailed descriptions. As the former president of the People's Daily, Mr. Yang Zhenwu said: "To get close -up, there must be something that reporters see."

Some people may ask, writing event reports need to catch the scene, do you need to catch the scene by writing character reports? The answer is yes.

What we are talking about here is not the kind of "one -to -one question and answer" interview, but a "experiential" interview with reporters and interviewees. This kind of interview is not the end of the collection of materials through "one question, one answer", but requiring reporters to "immerse" to observe and experience at the interview site.

For example, writing celebrities, they have rich experience and many writings. If they follow the "writing character resume" writing, I am afraid that they will not be able to attract readers' interest. But from the scene of the interview, it gave people a sense of freshness.

Please see the clip of Mr. Zhang Zhongxing, the cultural person below:

I was careful to ring the doorbell. Mr. Zhang came to open the door. The old man opened the first sentence: "Please ask the threshold." I was shocked. This is obviously a building. Where is the threshold? Looking down, the door was sideways "paper threshold" made of instant noodles. "A few days ago, I ran in the house and had to use this to deal with it." The old man laughed naive.

Through the opening of the door and the threshold of Mai Mai, the reporter wrote the laughter of Mr. Zhang Zhongxing's sound and laughter, making people as immersive, and of course, the impression was very deep.

Some of our reporters seem to have no concept of "catching the scene", and we don't pay much attention to observation at the interview site. They do not take the initiative to appreciate the scenes and atmosphere of the scene, so it is unlikely to write it when writing the draft.

Please keep in mind: When you are going to introduce a character to the reader, you must make the reader a sense of closeness to this character. How to do this? Write the scene, drawing the distance between the readers and the characters closer to the characters at the interview site, so that they are close and close.

Third, grasp the details

Now some characters have reported a lot of narratives, always "how did he", "she said to others ..." and so on. In fact, this writing is far more impressive than one or more details.

Mu Qing wrote Jiao Yulu that year, of which "Jiao Yulu's liver cancer still insisted on work, with a stick against the liver, and a big hole on the right side of the rattan chair", which is unforgettable.

《人民日报》一篇写西藏军医汪瑞的报道写道:“汪瑞和她的丈夫都在边疆工作,两人经常一起上下山,但是从不同乘一辆车。为什么?山路凶险,假如万As soon as something happened, he also had to leave a relative for your child. "The report was published on the front page of the People's Daily. The reader's response was: after reading the above paragraph, tears fell involuntarily.

Writing character reports can be introduced in the tone of reporters, but not too much. The best way is to have the most typical and touching details in the manuscript. Teacher Dai Peng, a senior reporter Dai Peng, a senior reporter who has written "The Monument in the Heart of the People -Ren Changxia, the Model of the Public Security Director", said that writing characters must be supported by details. Units, like blood cells. When writing Ren Changxia's long -term character communication, Teacher Dai Peng tried his best to collect details. Many details moved himself and cried. He deeply felt that the details were in this communication, which was a strong note and a "tear bomb". He could produce a strong artistic appeal and shocking power.

Summary

Writing character reports must be good at grasping characteristics, scenes, and details. This is an important idea to guide reporters to write. Now some reporters are going on, but what do you catch? How to catch it? There was no heart in my heart, and sometimes I had to follow it. This is not possible.

Advocating "three grasping" is actually telling reporters to interview the focus. While observing, pay attention to the characteristics, the scene, and the details. Grasp these hands, and my heart is stubborn.
