摘要

在同步有声电影的早期,电影与现场戏剧的关系是一个争论的话题。许多来自巴黎舞台的明星成功地过渡到银幕,在媒体的未来仍然不确定的时候,成为建立法国民族有声电影风格的重要人物。法国观众不仅喜欢听法国明星在银幕上讲话,而且法国人的歌声也具有同样的影响力,尽管人们对它的研究较少。法国舞台上的明星在银幕上演唱的歌曲将戏剧传统与有声电影新兴的视听美学结合起来。本文考察了法国早期有声电影中的歌星。借鉴理查德·戴尔(Richard Dyer)和吉内特·文森多(Ginette Vincendeau)对法国和国外明星的学术研究方法,我将重点放在法国早期有声电影中的音乐数字上,这些电影以三位在巴黎舞台上已经很出名的歌手为主角:费尔南德尔(ferndel)、亨利·加拉特(Henri Garat)和约瑟芬·贝克(Josephine Baker)。我考虑的是这些歌曲是如何围绕歌星的舞台形象进行视觉构建的,以及原声带是如何围绕着他们的声音来构建的,这些声音是观众从录音和舞台表演中熟悉的。通过我的分析,我展示了这位歌星如何为法国更广泛地接受有声电影做出了贡献。

The singing film star in early French sound cinema
In the early years of synchronized sound film, cinema’s relationship to live theatre was a topic of debate. Many stars from the Parisian stage successfully transitioned to the screen, becoming important figures in establishing a French national sound film style at a time when the medium’s future remained uncertain. Not only did French audiences take pleasure in hearing French stars speak on-screen, but the French singing voice also had an equally influential, if less examined, effect. Songs performed on-screen by stars from the French stage bridged theatrical traditions and sound cinema’s emerging audio-visual aesthetics. This article examines the singing star in early French sound cinema. Drawing on scholarly approaches to stardom in France and abroad by Richard Dyer and Ginette Vincendeau, I focus on musical numbers in early French sound films that feature three singers already famous on the Parisian stage: Fernandel, Henri Garat and Josephine Baker. I consider how these songs are visually structured around the singing star’s stage presence, and how the soundtrack was likewise constructed around their voices familiar to audiences from recordings and stage performances. Through my analysis, I show how the singing star contributed to a broader acceptance of sound cinema in France.
