When it comes to domestic comedy, the group that everyone thinks of first must be "Happy Twist", Shen Tengmari Allen is a pillar, and others are even supporting roles that impress the audience.
In 2003, the first stage play "Want to Eat Twist Now Screw You" was unveiled, and Happy Twist was officially established.
In 2012, Shen Teng Allen's Spring Festival Gala sketch "Today's Happiness" was a blockbuster on the stage, winning the honor of "best looking sketch" in one fell swoop.
Since then, happy twist has become the new favorite of the Spring Festival Gala.
"Can't Help", "Skynet Recovery", "Big City Small Things", "Throw in Its Favor"... Happy twist sketches have become the most anticipated language programs for the audience's Spring Festival Gala.
Until 2015, "Charlotte Troubles" turned out to be a success, beating Xu Zheng's "囧途 series" "Hong Kong 囧" in the National Day file, with a box office champion of 1.441 billion and Douban 7.7.
Box office word of mouth double harvest.
2016's "Donkey Got Water" and 2017's "Shy Iron Fist" also achieved good results.
Then to the later "The Richest Man in Xihong", "Li Cha's Aunt", "Half a Comedy", until now, as long as they see happy twist on new movies during the holidays, the audience will hold a "laugh is over" mentality to watch.
The story level of happy twist movies plays with various themes, "Charlotte Troubles" is through time and space, "Donkey Gets Water" is black humor, and "Shy Iron Fist" is gender swapping.
Although there are still many awkward and vulgar stems, on the whole, it is still guaranteed that the laughter point is dense, and it can be seen that it has been tempered and polished hundreds of times.
Laughter is meaningful, and it is enough for a comedy.
The industry has long had the saying that "twist flowers are produced, must be high-quality", and happy twist flowers have become the leaders of domestic comedy movies.
Dramas, Spring Festival Gala stages, movies, happy twists have all tried and achieved excellent results.
So, if you let this group of comedians do a group of people together, will they continue to create brilliance?
"Twist Special Happy"
When I learned that Shen Tengmali led a group of happy twist comedians to do a group roundup, almost all the audiences were looking forward to it with the mentality of being "laughed out of tears".
There are men who grow on laughter points, there are women who grow on laughter points, and there are a group of familiar faces that have appeared repeatedly in happy twist movies in recent years, and they can't help but the corners of their mouths when they think about it.
However, when the first episode of this variety show was broadcast, everyone was dumbfounded, is this really a happy twist that we know?
"It's too hard to laugh, Shen Teng can't save it"
"Like a needle felt, like a thorn in the back, like a fish in the throat"
"A smell of perfunctory"
.........
Some netizens also said that perhaps, our expectations for twist flowers are too high.
Expecting the college entrance examination is part of it, in fact, there is the most important part, the old-fashioned.
From the first issue, in addition to seeing all the twist comedians, there is basically nothing to watch, some games can be seen at a glance, and some games are set to be meaningless.
The theme of the first issue is "Charlotte Troubles", which begins with several groups of people escaping from the room and looking sleepy.
In the later game sessions, there are campuses, there is love, and there are topics with the signs of the times.
Guess the network abbreviations, dance with the big mother, these are barely with the times, can let them "twist the sheets to calculate the weight" what the ghost ...
The game is childish and boring, the production team is really not good, and the audience can only watch them awkwardly busy.
In addition to this, the most fatal thing is the "embarrassment" that the whole staff is not familiar with.
In everyone's impression, comedians should be a group of all members with social cow X disease, however, in the happy twist team group interaction, it gives people the feeling that they are not familiar with each other.
And this unfamiliarity brings a "sense of deviation" to the audience.
Maybe as Ma Li said, "The characters in all the works that the audience sees actually have some similarities with us, but we are still a different person in life." ”
For example, in the first installment, there was a game session where a skill auction where a team that successfully acquired two items could get clues and move on to the next stop.
Hypertherm's group was the one with the fewest scores, so it was clear that they were very active in the game, and the group they grabbed the opportunity was to eat 65 cloves of raw garlic and drink 12 cups of herbal tea.
Although the people next to them were advising them not to get away with it, they still felt very strange, knowing that Haibao was fighting so hard because of the least points, but they also had to show what everyone knew.
I don't know whether Hypertherm Haiyin is set up or how in this variety show, it seems that whatever they do will be disliked by others.
In the hot pot eating game session, everyone stared at each other with wide eyes and small eyes, and the whole atmosphere did not feel happy, and they were embarrassed that the audience was embarrassed with them, as if when the company was team-building, all employees were waiting for the leader to toast.
As Chang Yuan said, it is better to watch food and broadcast.
Awkward enough to overflow the screen.
I really didn't expect that a team doing comedy could be so seriously divided from top to bottom, just like netizens said: It is difficult to imagine a creative team that is liked by young people.
If you want to say that the only point of view is probably the interaction between Shen Tengmali.
In the tacit understanding assessment session of the same group of two people singing the same song of the designated singer, Shen Tengmari sang the same song together. Shen Teng also deliberately concave a small point, because the two had the most scores, Shen Teng naughtily called Ma Li Miss Yaoyao (far away leading).
Finally there is a little laugh, but there is still a tacit understanding.
But this tacit understanding is quite difficult for you than I guessed.
In the first round, Shen Teng compared Ma Li to guess the words, and the two did not get a point, because Ma Li basically had no concept of Internet popular words, such as the popular "dry rice man", "Versailles", "brave cow and cow", "I am sour" and "do not understand".
But Shen Teng is different, and can be called a 12G network master.
"Blind box" and "hand-made" are known.
From this point of view, in fact, I know a little why the comedy of Happy Twist has been going downhill in the past two years, because the team and team members are somewhat "rigid", and the laughter created by nature is not fresh, and it is strange not to be jianglang.
How can a repressed nature create a light-hearted laugh.
And as far as this variety show is concerned, it seems that from the beginning it is playing the emotional card, the first issue of "Charlotte Troubles", see if the next issue of the preview is "Shy Iron Fist"?
Judging from the first issue, the group is probably not suitable for happy twist, a good funny show into a company team building, rather than wasting time on this, it is better to think about how to make the domestic comedy bigger.
If you still insist on using this kind of pediatric game design to perfunctory the audience, no matter how high the "content" is, it cannot be saved.
