      如果你嚟

      在廣播道上打滾近三十年,問我最敬畏的是誰?肯定是俞琤(YT)。 在商台的日子,有幸與YT近身工作,與她開會是「天花板級的地獄」,以為想到甚麼好蹺,能博得她稱讚麼?每次只被她批評得體無完膚,然後她就在我們面前拋出一條絕世好橋,而我只能垂頭喪氣地離開她的辦公室。 YT對用字、用聲與時間掌握之嚴謹也是「天花板級」的。試過主持深宵節目時,她忽然來電,只說了一句:「你頭先講咗啲乜?」然後便掛綫;也試過與她在錄音室錄製電台宣傳聲帶,她親自操刀,錄了近一百take,仍不滿意。作為她的下屬,雖然一點也不好受,但感恩有幸經歷過如此煉獄般的特訓,當中所學到的,畢生受用。 離開電台後,有幸與YT保持聯繫。記得第一套電影《王家欣》上畫前,我大膽邀請她來看試片,YT二話不說,話嚟就嚟,看完後還邀請我到她家促膝而談。記得她說:「你搵得我嚟,唔係諗住我睇完會讚你㗎可?」然後她將意見及改善方法毫不保留地告訴我,又動用她的人脈來幫助我宣傳,當時實在感激不已。後來每部電影上畫前,我也會先邀請YT到試片室觀看,她每次都嚟,每次都字字珠璣,沒有半句廢話,說完便瀟灑離去。 廣播道上人才輩出,我沒資格做YT的徒弟或愛將,但在我心中,她肯定是我的恩師。能夠從YT口中得到嘉許,是人生一大成就,遺憾至今我從未得到YT的稱讚,反而數月前,她竟在本欄中找到一個錯處,然後發短訊給我,當時實在慚愧得無地自容。 數天前,突然收到YT的短訊,一張圖、四隻字:「如果你嚟」,原來是她為了心光盲人院暨學校籌款而出山,我馬上回覆她:「我一定嚟!」以我認識的YT,箭無虛發,如果你在YuTsang.com上還搶到飛的話,建議你一定要嚟。 Source link
