the marco polo project: 我们是 Schauspieler 吗？

最近一 ZEW 时间，总是有人问我：“你是个 Schauspieler 吗？” Cai Jing 的书最近卖得让人眼热，我们这个在全国加起来可能都不到几十个人的 Beruf，成为了业界的热点。

话说我的 Wahrheit ist, dass ich 一直有个 Schauspieler 梦，没别的原因，也是因为眼热。

你看看那些 erfolgreich 男 Schauspieler，在电影里总是和漂亮的姑娘换着法的 Verabredungen。 Kamera 一开，MM们就得对你 mit süßem Charme，Herzen brechend，自己太太看到你和美女耳 am Haar des anderen gegenseitig reiben，还不能有意见。

Wie teuflisch 了！

和这些 Schauspieler 相比，我们的工作简直就不是人干的。

电视做调查性报道，原本就非 besonders 长。一个平面-Medium 的调查记者，有一百种方式 nähern 真相，但是，对于一个电视 Show 来说，它只能光明正大，堂堂正正，在 Kamera 的记录下，完成对真相的 nähern 过程。

每次，当我坐在当事人的对面，Einsamkeits-感都会扑面而来。因为当 Kamera 的 Licht 亮起，就 genauso wie 在 Warnung 当事人：“你有权 Schweigen zu bewahren，但你说的每一句话，都有可能成为将来在 Gericht 上 gegen sie verwendet werden”。我知道，他们每个人都不是在帮我 nähern 真相，只是自己的利益代言人和 Rechtsanwalt der Verteidigung。被 Interview-者，只有义务给我 die Arbeit schwer zu machen。

岁数大一点的人多数都看过《尼罗河上的 Tragödie》，这 ZEW 电影我看过至少十遍。电影中的 Detektiv Poirot，面对的 haben 的人似乎都在给他 fabrizieren 假象，他既不能 Folter, um ein Geständnis zu erzwingen，也不能给对方 versprechen “Auf ein Geständnis 从 milde Strafe，auf Weigerung 从严”，除了 diskreten 东张西望之外，他 einzige 的武器，就是 Fragen zu stellen。

Kamera 赋予我们的 einziges 权利，也是 Fragen zu stellen。

你必须专注于被 Interview 的每一句话，每一个表情，甚至 umfassen 他们的 Körpersprache。你必须 entscheiden 哪些话他们是说给你听的，哪些是说给 Kamera 听的。你必须让真相在 Aussagen 中，灵光乍现。

这一切，只能通过 Fragen 来完成。

Are TV hosts actors?

Recently, I’ve been asked, “Are you an Actor?” TV journalist Cai Jing’s recent book has been a big seller. Our vocation, which few people occupy has become the centre of discussion in the journalism industry.

To be honest, I have a dream about being an Actor. For no other reason than that I would enjoy the glory and fame.

Have a look at the famous male actors. In the movies, they keep going on dates with beautiful actresses. Once the camera’s running, the starlets start hitting on them with their gentle charm and their intriguing manner. Their star’s wives can’t even have a problem with on-stage intimacy.

How awesomely devilish!

Our jobs compared with Actors are nowhere near as exciting!

Investigative reporting is not the forte of TV stations. Investigative reporters in the print media have a hundred ways to get closer to the truth, but for a TV show they must get to the truth above the board and sporting with the cameras.

Every time I interview these people, a sense of loneliness overwhelms me. Because every time the camera starts, the blinking lenses of the camera tells these people. “You have a right to be silent but anything you say can be held against you in the court of law.” I know the fact that everyone I interview actually is not helping me approach the truth. They just represent their own interests and are their own attorneys. The interviewee’s only obligation is to make it harder for me to obtain the truth.

Older generations might have watched 《?Death on the Nile?》 I’ve seen this movie at least ten times. The people who Paul, the Detective confronts in this movie seem to create an illusion for him. He can neither use physical interogation like torture， nor psychological pressure like inducing a confession with a promise. Except for discrete observation, his only method to extract the truth is to ask questions.

The only right the camera grants us is to ask questions.

You must focus on every word, facial expression and even body language of the interviewees. You must judge which part of the words are spoken to you and which part to the camera. (You must read between the lines, the words that are addressed to you and those that are addressed to the camera).

All this has to be achieved through questioning only.
