"Hao Shi into a pair":
Pure and expressive
Create from the perspective of the audience
After graduating from the Beijing Dance Academy, Shi Ce has a lot of acting experience, and before participating in the "Annual Comedy Competition", theaters, sets, and variety shows are the occasions where she often haunts.
At the beginning of her work, she did not think of deliberately adding comedic elements to her own performances, but in the stage performance, she would create a more joyful role in the second creation, and then she also participated in other comedy programs, but in it she was only a supporting role, even if standing in the spotlight, it was a small role in the corner.
In this case, she received an invitation to the "Annual Comedy Contest", "In fact, at the beginning, I was very timid about the competition, and when I thought about it, I was almost 30 years old, and I needed to let more people see me, so I decided to come." ”
Being labeled as a "comedian" is not surprising to Shi Ce, "There are not many girls engaged in comedy, and there are fewer female characters with comedy, but I can still have the opportunity to be selected, more or less prove that I have this characteristic, but I did not expect to have such a performance now."
In the show, Shi Ce and Wang Hao are partners, they performed acquaintance, love, love, marriage in the show, in "The Most Beautiful Woman in the World", the hero and heroine met in front of the audience, in "Lover Missed", the two people interpreted the friction between men and women in love, and turned to "Walking the Flower Road", the wedding scene of the two, and then to "Romantic Leak", interpreting the dissatisfaction and love of the wife after marriage to her husband. The two men have been presented on the screen as lovers, revolving around the theme of contemporary love from beginning to end.
In Shi Ce's view, pure, expressive, and created from the perspective of the audience are the three most important parts of comedic expression. The creation of comedy needs to be expressed funny, but simple funny is a bit too simple, and it seems too complicated to want depth, and finding balance may be the part that needs to be pondered the most.
Shi Hang once publicly commented on Shi Ce on Weibo: "Shi Ce is very wise, but never pretends to be charming, so the comedy actress who has no habit is too precious and rare." But at the same time, she also expressed her concern, "Next she should receive many film and television invitations, I hope that she will not be blurred." ”
But now Shi Ce, after receiving praise, has a very peaceful mentality. "I understand Mr. Shi Hang's concerns, but I know myself, I didn't set myself a very ambitious dream goal, I just hope that I can play a good role and act well."
Before officially performing comedy, Wang Hao worked as a comedy screenwriter for a while, and he confessed: "I am a comedy screenwriter so that I can get on stage, and I can write a role for myself." ”
After doing screenwriting for several variety shows, Wang Hao also had the opportunity to take the stage.
Wang Hao's comedic talent is actually not clear whether it is born or acquired, when he was a child, he was actually a little inferior, in his own words, a bit of a flattering personality, "You will find that most of the people with a flattering personality are quite humorous, and they will try their best to shake the baggage because they don't want the atmosphere to become awkward, just because he wants to make people laugh."
If you are in a confined space with strangers, the first thing Wang Hao thinks is to make a joke, if the other party laughs, then Wang Hao is solid in his heart, and this laugh is equivalent to "no hostility" for him.
Both actors and comedians are considered to be good at expression, because expression is their job, but there are many forms of expression, from the form of art, there can be drama, comedy, from the form of expression, can be silent, can also be exaggerated. For different art forms, the biggest difference is the difference in the sense of rhythm, comedy often has an exaggerated component, will be separated from a little daily life, this is to give the audience a more intuitive feeling.
Perhaps because the expression on the stage has been too vivid, Wang Hao in life does not like to talk much, and he does not have much special things to do except sleep.
This is actually not surprising, on the comedy stage, it takes a huge amount of energy to infect the audience, and the secret that makes the audience laugh is that this performance is also funny, profound and expressive for themselves. This means that if you don't do it wholeheartedly, it won't succeed, and all the inputs will consume energy. Correspondingly, if you are not a naturally energetic person, you need to give yourself a little adjustment space through proper silence and rest.
Wang Hao has been a little anxious, a little happy, a little tired recently, and all his emotions are tangled together.
"The anxiety is that when the variety show is finished, no one knows who you are, and as for how to maintain it, you need to come up with better works to cover the works presented before, if I can't get it out, I will gradually be forgotten." But I also have to accept that if I really can't do it, I'm doomed to be eliminated. I am happy that I have been seen by more people and have more job opportunities, but whether I can grasp it or not depends on myself in the end. ”
"Dream Runner-up":
Sincere, funny, and connected to the audience
Becoming an actor is like fate for Zhang Chi. Playing Peking Opera in primary school, he was admitted to beijing opera school at the age of 9 and to the Chinese Opera Academy at the age of 15. After graduating from college, I started acting in dramas, musicals, and finally to the step of actors, everything was too logical.
But becoming a comedian was something he hadn't thought much about. At the beginning, the program team first sent him a private message, but Zhang Chi mistakenly thought that he was a liar, and did not care too much, and later he learned that it was recommended to the director group by friends, so by chance, he began his comedy career.
Before this, Zhang Chi's stage drama, more or less have a bit of comedy bridges and comedy elements, plus Zhang Chi is a northeasterner, "we northeasterners seem to have some sense of humor, and the teacher who learned to sing when I was a child was particularly humorous, and I can often make us laugh in class, and I also have a bit of such humor cells when I hear it." ”
In the "Annual Comedy Competition", Zhang Chi and Jiang Long are fixed partners, and in the performances of the two men, there are many works that convey the essence of "love", "This Killer Is Not Cold" and "The Last Lesson" actually hide their love for performance and music, but they are expressions with comedy and ridicule, which has touched many audiences.
For performance, Zhang Chi and Jiang Long's creations are based on their own real feelings, which may initially be a small seed, and after the two talk together, they develop into a comedy work. "The aesthetics and laughter of the two of us are quite consistent, when we brush short videos, we think that the funny content will be collected, thinking of showing each other, but often when we meet with each other, we find that the collection is actually a content."
Sincerity, funnyness, and connection with the audience are the core points that Zhang Chi found in comedy creation.
In addition to performing comedy, Zhang Chi is also good at the performance of opera and drama, the importance of the three in Zhang Chi's heart is not different, is closely linked, "I think about how to organically combine the three together to create a good work, "Ten Years of Work Under the Stage" is my attempt, these three are indispensable in my life. ”
Compared with other types of performances, the way comedy is performed will be more exaggerated and magnified, such as showing fear that is funny, so the actor needs to shape the image at different levels. This is very similar to Zhang Chi, who describes himself as a piece of plasticine, acceptable to shape any character, and can quickly integrate into the environment and atmosphere.
Zhang Chi in life is actually a very homely person, who likes to drink tea, watch movies, play games, especially in recent times, he especially likes retro mini-games like the King of Fighters. Many people around will feel that Zhang Chi is very cold and does not like to talk, because words are less thought of as heavy thoughts. "But in fact, I am not high-cold, nor do I like to talk, but I don't know what I want to say at the moment."
Unlike Jiang Long's more iconic face, he is a handsome boy who has liked comedy since he was a child and also likes to imitate sketch performances.
Before he really performed comedy, he especially wanted to act in comedy, "because comedy can bring happiness to everyone, I am an actor, but also the audience, I also especially love to watch comedy, when I am in a bad mood, comedy will bring me a lot of strength and happiness, so I also hope that I can go to comedy, but before I always felt that it was particularly difficult to do comedy, I don't know how it makes everyone laugh, so I just thought about becoming a comedian, I don't know if it can be achieved, through this show I found that I can." 」 ”
Obviously, this show allowed Jiang Long to really find his way, before participating in the "Annual Comedy Competition", he actually participated in "Strange Story" to stop at the first round, and "Summer of the Band" stopped at the audition.
If he did not leave a successful work this time, we may say that Jiang Long is not yet timely, not lucky enough, a little regretful. However, standing out in a completely different kind of show and becoming a popular player proves that the previous elimination was never a miss and a regret, he just walked the wrong track at that time.
Sincerity is the most important point of Jiang Long's comedy performance, when he is creating in the early stage, he often thinks about how to make others happy, and has taken many detours, but in fact, "as long as you talk nonsense seriously and do stupid things seriously, you can let everyone see how you do things seriously, the audience will feel very funny and cute, and the most important thing in comedy is that you have to like and be happy."
Some people say that the core of comedy is tragedy, for Jiang Long, there are many kinds of cores of comedy, he does not like to tear himself open for others to see, more like a hard stone, even if the inside is full of holes, the surface still has to remain shiny, bright, and beautiful.
In addition to comedy and film and television drama performances, Jiang Long has also sung theme songs to many TV series, comedy, film and television dramas and singing in Jiang Long's inner ranking can be said to be indistinguishable, difficult to distinguish, equally divided, "I hope that these three things can be combined, no matter which thing we do, in fact, the other two are complementary." When doing comedy, the performance experience and methods in previous film and television dramas are helpful, and singing can actually be integrated into the work. For singing, it takes the content of the film and television work itself to give me the inspiration to write a work. When acting in film and television dramas, I also use a lot of comedy skills and the emotions of singing and lyrics to match, which are indispensable. ”
"Dauji Water":
Funny, empathetic and empathetic
When Da Suo was five or six years old, he believed that he could act well in sketches, and when he was in elementary school, daily acting sketches became his hobby, and it was also because of this persistence that when he grew up, Da Suo also had a lot of relevant creative and acting experience. In his words, "Let me write anything."
Satellite TV Spring Festival Gala, comedy program screenwriters, variety shows in the middle of the advertisement, unnamed business, help the already popular artists to write their paragraphs on the program, as long as you can say it, he basically did it, generally three or five minutes of content, he can write in an hour, after writing can take a few thousand pieces, "in order to maintain livelihood, anything, really anything."
There are two kinds of characters in the comedy of the duo, "Straight Man" and "Weird Man", usually the funny character is called "Weird Man", and the character who is bullied, influenced, and constantly interrupted is called "Straight Man". The big lock in the hot "Daewoo Zhishui" combination is a "straight person", which can also be understood as a praise, and the function is to explain the background of the comedy, who we are, where we are, and what we are doing.
"It's still good for me to help others with the rhythm as a straight person, and if some straight people have the wrong rhythm, the effect of comedy is poor." Straight man's job is to spit on the character of the "weird guy", which is like the reaction of a normal audience to see a strange comedian. In more colloquial and comedic terms, straight people are live bullet screens on the comedy stage. To put it more simply, this character must resonate and empathize with the audience, have a sense of substitution, and thus make the audience feel funny.
In the eyes of the big key, funny, empathetic and empathy are the most indispensable elements of comedy creation.
Funny is always the first productive force, not funny things, resonate and empathy, can not be called comedy; the second is the so-called resonance, can not cause the audience to resonate, even if the flat ground is high-rise, the form is advanced, the audience does not buy it; the third is to achieve empathy, Dasuo and Sun Tianyu's "Where Has Time Gone" at the same time to achieve funny, resonance and empathy, many viewers will comment that "like around the installation of monitoring."
Because of this, the big lock is always particularly warm and sincere to people, which may be the screenwriter's "occupational disease", "I am particularly willing to talk to others about the heart and lungs to say, sometimes we have a screenwriting meeting, the screenwriters are mostly the first time to meet or cooperate for the first time, if you do not quickly dig out each other's lungs, it is difficult to talk to each other about the kind of emotion and resonance. As long as you have a screenwriting meeting of about 15 minutes a day, after three or four days, you have basically penetrated each other, even the darkest side of life, each other knows, in this case, it is particularly easy to come up with things. ”
Sun Tianyu is one of the several comedians in this interview who has more words. The tone of his speech was more cheerful, grinning, but sincere.
Sun Tianyu's entry experience is also very coincidental, under the program stage of the school singer competition, there is a producer who is preparing to shoot a musical, he thinks he is not bad, so he threw an olive branch to him and invited him to participate in his own musical audition. Since then, an ordinary college student has started a "circle" life.
Before being selected for the "Annual Comedy Competition", Sun Tianyu rarely watched variety shows and always regarded himself as an "outsider in the circle". I participated in a comedy workshop under the company's arrangement, "At that time, I didn't say that I came to compete, the company said you could go there to learn comedy." Don't you want to learn comedy, want to do comedy? Then you went to class, so I went to the workshop with such a mentality, and then I was inexplicably selected to participate."
Ma Dong once said on the show that this season of the show is to give different types of comedy the opportunity to show, and Sun Tianyu can be said to be the representative of the newcomers in the show. But this time to test the waters, it can be said that it is an unexpected result.
The "Daewoo Zhishui" combination composed of Sun Tianyu and Dasuo has also become a popular comedian that everyone chases. As soon as their work "Idol Waiter" was broadcast, it was on the eleventh weibo hot search list, and "Where has the time gone" was on the fifth place in the Weibo hot search list. In just two months, both the program and Sun Tianyu himself have successfully entered the public eye. Even if Sun Tianyu believes that he is not out of the circle, the solid data has made him a "comedy dark horse".
From Sun Tianyu's point of view, his comedic talent is not innate at all, and 100% is cultivated. Of these, 30% rely on his own efforts, 70% rely on the influence of others, "to be honest, I am usually really not funny."
As a boy in 1997, the sudden attention actually made him a little confused, "Now it is equivalent to giving me a possibility to go into the comedy industry, but I am not sure." 」 After the end of the show, I will be entangled, do I think too much, can I go like this in the future? ”
These two voices constantly collided in Sun Tianyu's mind, "On the one hand, I feel that if I really plunge into comedy, then I can't do anything else I want to do?" He talked about these special honesties, not hiding his confusion at all.
But when asked about his future career expectations, his interest rose again: "I hope that I can become a qualified actor first, as much as possible to be exposed to some unsaved content, I hope that one day I can become the person I want to be." 」 ”
