On January 7, the final of the "Annual Comedy Competition", "Daewoo Zhishui" did not appear in the form of a combination - Sun Tianyu solo participated in the graduation drama of the thirteenth generation of grandmasters, and Dasuo received two awards in the award ceremony. Before, their semi-final works did not appear in the main film, but were only included in the tidbits.
Many people regret for them. This group has brought the show the earliest out-of-the-loop works. Several wonderful performances in succession have made Dasuo and Sun Tianyu one of the most concerned groups in each episode of the show. According to the rhythm of the cool drama, they are expected to become stronger and stronger, get a good ranking, go out of the circle, become popular, and climb from Sun Tianyu's self-deprecating "artists below the ankles" to achieve a counterattack in life.
But in fact, the process of their high and low walk is more like a realistic ending. That's part of the life of comedy — "behind the comedy is tragedy" has long been a well-known phrase. Da Suo and Sun Tianyu have been hovering between long frustration and small pride for a long time, the background color is not so heavy, and the bumps and bumps and forwards and retreats are the rhythms they are most familiar with.
DaSuo once lamented, "It's much harder to find a good partner than to find a good partner!" ”
Some netizens asked, "Regardless of audience repercussions and real life, what kind of roles and content do you two most want to play?" The big lock's answer was, "Two garbage."
The story of "two pieces of garbage" really existed. In the script called "Trash House", which has only been rehearsed once on stage, Sun Tianyu plays a "transparent degradable garbage bag" in the garbage can that can't fly, and the big lock is a lighter who has been taken many times in the name of borrowing fire, gone through 32 bosses, and finally can't fire." Dawn is approaching, garbage is facing the fate of being taken away, and the "garbage bag" can only console itself, "I may really not be suitable for flying, but I am really degradable". Eventually, with the help of friends such as the "lighter", it finally took off and flew out of the trash can.
The "lighter" happily waved his little garbage bag in the trash can, "Little garbage, you are the best garbage I have ever seen!" ”
It's a garbage rescue story from another garbage, and in the heart of big locks, it "expresses some of their inner thoughts", just maybe no one will care.

Before meeting Sun Tianyu, Dasuo was in a state of "basically about to give up" for the show "Annual Comedy Competition".
They're on the show for pretty much the same reason — they can't get over it. Sun Tianyu applied for part-time waiters everywhere in front of his home. He lives in Dongba, a plot of land in Beijing's Chaoyang district with lower rents. He took his home as the center of the circle, drew a circle with the radius of "walking to tired, almost three traffic lights", saw a crowded restaurant, pushed the door and entered. Grilled fish shops, kebab shops, hot pot shops he has inquired, "Haidilao's requirements are really high." During that time, he interviewed a lot of restaurants, and only one was willing to give him a chance, "Seriously tried me for a day." ”
Of course, there is also the meaning of experiencing life, and more importantly, he is really poor - he is a signed artist of One Heart One Plus One, and has acted in several musicals and web dramas. Those web dramas were dug up by fans after he participated in the show, and many times he just flashed by. One of the owners of the company is yang tianzhen, a former well-known agent, and the company has no shortage of well-known actors and stars. Sun Tianyu was not so lucky, he had been in the industry for 4 years, and he was still very poor. During the recording of "The Annual Comedy Contest," he had to finish his previous job — paying rent in order to make money.
So, when the company asked him to come to a new variety show, he accepted it very happily. Even at that time, he had never acted in comedy and did not know what sketch was.
Sun Tianyu once participated in the web drama "Opponent", playing a small role "Huang Mao" who appeared only a few minutes ago.
Big Lock is professional in comedy. He has been a professional comedian for several years, writing screenplays and also starring part-time. Similar to Sun Tianyu, he is also almost "unable to get by" - in 2017, he participated in the network roundup "Brain Big Hole Opening", became the "Brain Cave King" as a vegetarian, and began a career of "fringing" in more than 20 variety shows. He worked on "The Martian Intelligence Agency" and was qualified to sit in the guest seat when he was first recorded. But by season five, he was assigned to raise cards off the field to remind the audience to applaud at the right time.
It's not that he doesn't have talent, he's confident about it, but when he really got into the industry, he found that everything was so difficult. In those years, he could only take one or two "decent jobs" at the end of the year - writing a 15-minute script and charging 20,000 yuan for writing.
So he also came to the new show, "there is a kind of playing a game, playing to the last life and dying, but unexpectedly got a chance to resurrect [the feeling]."

If you want to understand what the meaning of the big lock meets Sun Tianyu, I am afraid that it is not a few things that can be explained clearly by quoting a few words of "Tianyu is my muse" and "Brother Lock will always be my thigh, I am the pendant of the brother". It is necessary to return to the works themselves in order to understand their irreplaceability with each other.
When the "Annual Comedy Contest" was broadcast to the third issue, "Daewoo Zhishui" only appeared for the first time. The first work is a joke in the rice circle - in "Idol Waiter", Sun Tianyu plays a trainee who "can't afford to eat" and goes to a small restaurant that is locked up to apply for a waiter. While dancing the women's group dance, he unscrupulously threw out "that fish (internal entertainment) is finished", "is the back pot meat also worth being liked", "bastard powder is not worthy of being a fan" and other harmonic stems, which were called "too many elements" and "show fans must see the stage".
"Idol Waiter" won the "Annual Comedy Contest" Most Popular Work Award
The second work, "Where Has All The Time Gone", brought them a real out-of-the-loop. "After playing with the mobile phone, you can understand" is the positioning of the big lock on this work. He starred as a screenwriter and set up the flag of "must be submitted before 12 o'clock", but he fell into the "retention trap" set by the various mobile apps of Sun Tianyu's avatar. The classic line "Brush five minutes" made the tutor Yu Hewei sigh, "Who spied on my life".
"Where Has All The Time Gone"
The sketch comedy presented in the "Annual Comedy Competition" is different from the common comedy genre in the past. In the past, comedies usually extracted the types of characters visible in life for exaggeration and deformation, and the script also had a complete beginning and end, and the theme could be clearly summarized, or satirical or sensational, and always had "upper value". The corresponding performance methods can also be traced. Sketch comedy is different, in the words of the program group, called "focus on the moment, the rhythm is bright, the laughter is dense, not hard value, nor deliberately sensationalized."
Several successful works of "Daewoo Zhishui" are the embodiment of the concept of "sketch comedy". The script of the big lock is clear and strange, and it is not completely withdrawn from life - "trainee" and "waiter" itself have realism, combining these two contrasting identities that cannot be beaten by eight rods, which are separated from daily life and constitute the core setting of the show "Idol Waiter". In "Where Has Time Gone", people are always tied up by mobile phone Apps, and "brushing 5 minutes to start working" again and again has become the realistic basis of the show, but personifying various popular Apps is an unexpected leap for daily life. "The Past of the Weight Loss Gang" also captures the incision of contemporary youth "seeing carbon water as a flood beast", puts on the temperament of gang movies, and gives people a sense of absurdity of dragon fruit growing on sorghum poles.
"Weight Loss Help Past"
The big lock has a nickname, "Terrier Brain" - for the "self-aware" audience, he hides several codes in each line; and the same content is placed outside the circle, which is somewhat difficult to understand.
Such a script requires the actors to cooperate with a generally similar knowledge background, tacit understanding with each other, and can quickly understand the intention between the lines; not only to understand the stem, but also to need some "unconventional" acting skills to visualize the brain hole. The long-term pain of Dasuo as a screenwriter also lies in this - the actors he met in the past did not trust his script, and did not resonate with the terrier, "how to explain it is useless" and "I don't believe that you can laugh at this terrier". He also doesn't trust actors, "not believing they can perform that feeling."
After coming to the "Annual Comedy Contest", he finally found his "other half" - a Sun Tianyu who fully understood all his stems, "even if I sometimes jumped a few steps in my thinking, he also knew what I meant", and could "make up of nothing" to visualize the brain hole between reality and abstraction.
They met in a workshop arranged by the program group - one is an "actor below the ankle", and the other is a "second-line screenwriter" with sufficient creative reserves. The two people who had not spoken before were surprised to find that the topics they had chosen were "completely coincident" and "quite smooth at once" were chosen.

Sun Tianyu never dared to believe that he could be a good actor. For more than twenty years of life, he has been a "waste". The stern father told his son from an early age, "Don't take yourself seriously, remember that you are a piece of crap." In his sophomore year of high school, Sun Tianyu bought a favorite T-shirt and a necklace that was popular at the time. In exchange for this move, he was pulled to the front of the whole family, "Let's see, Sun Tianyu feels that he is handsome, and he can eat by his face in the future." These imprints were engraved on his heart, leaving scars one after another, and so far he could not accept the praise calmly.
Dasuo's first impression of Sun Tianyu was, "In a bunch of people, he drilled into the corner." This instead caught the attention of the big lock, "Because I used to be the person in the corner." When "The Annual Comedy Contest" was first recorded, Sun Tianyu still couldn't touch the doorway, and on the way back to the hotel at night, he always asked Dasuo: "Brother, can we do it?" Da Suo replied every time, "Tianyu, you can rush forward, as long as this show is not bad, we estimate that it will not be bad." ”
"Annual Comedy Competition" wrote on Sun Tianyu's graduation certificate: The first time you come into contact with comedy, you are ignorant, nervous, and a little unconfident. But here, the strongest dancer in the comedy competition shows its own infinite possibilities. You on the stage are really shining
Recording a reality show terrified Sun Tianyu. He hasn't gotten used to being his true self to the camera. In the past, whether it was filming film and television dramas or performing on stage, it was the role that came first, and the actors hid behind the roles and less exposed their true state. But reality TV is not, "I don't like to expose myself to the public in private." Every time at such a time, the big lock can always stand up and take a bite out, the program team has captured the material it wants, and Sun Tianyu is also happy to "hide" in the back.
Doing comedy is very tiring, especially with a screenwriter's thinking, you have to observe and think all the time. Dasuo usually sees interesting things, and his first reaction is "which book can be put into it". Watching comedy is also tired, because watching is not a laugh, it is "the structure is incomplete" and "Fan Er did not rise up". Once he brushed a short video, it was Shen Teng's expressionless face and tired face when he participated in an activity. Netizens are saying "Shen Teng is floating, playing a big card", but DaSuo feels the same way about that tiredness.
Sun Tianyu recalled that when he first started creating the row with the big lock, the meal was paid by the big lock. Going out to dinner with former friends is also like this, when it is time to check out, everyone's hand will be pressed on Sun Tianyu's shoulder, "After earning money, you will invite us." ”
"It's almost there so far." Da Suo patted Sun Tianyu, "After the game is over, let's earn some money together." ”
At the finals awards ceremony, Dasuo tearfully said: "Five years ago I resigned from the bank, they asked me why I gave up this job, I said that I can go back to the bank at any time in this life, but if I don't chase my dreams, I can't chase it anymore." ”
The good news is that shortly after the end of the show is the Spring Festival, which is the time for comedians to "come to work", and many satellite TVs have issued invitations to them. The big lock is full of confidence, "grinding out six or seven books" and "striving to dominate the screen from the young age to the fifteenth".
This is certainly not a brilliant future. Even their fans are worried that after the Spring Festival, this wave of "eating market", the future development of the two will not be smooth, "below the ankle" Sun Tianyu can be promoted to "waist artist" as desired. But whatever the end result, the little garbage bag has already flown up and flew out of the trash can. In the story of the "Trash House", the big lock does not know where the garbage bag will eventually fly, "the story is not over."
