During the Spring Festival, golden phrases such as "people don't repair the house", "one monkey builds a house, ten monkeys tear down the wall" and other golden sentences quietly become popular on social platforms, and joyful emojis such as "my mother tongue is speechless" have also begun to be seen everywhere, and young people's WeChat groups have bumped up "half a pound eight two cp"... All kinds of signs show that a new comedy is booming, and even the phenomenon of "human-to-human" has emerged.
The entertainment value officer found that these golden sentences and memes came from the costume comedy "Washe Jianghu" launched by iQiyi Xiaoju Theater. Many viewers have said that they have finally waited for a new generation of "decompression dramas", and after "The Legend of Wulin", there are finally new domestic comedy choices.
Years later
We are finally waiting for a new generation of "decompression dramas"
The core reason why "The Tale of Wulin" has become a generation of classics lies in the group portrait shaping of the mortals in the city, and this kind of pyrotechnic gas that allows the audience to intimately substitute is especially scarce in today's market. "Washe Jianghu" also tells the story of a group of young people in the waschel. They have very different personalities, each one has a stem, but because of different experiences, they decided to work together to run the washe, fighting with each other but supporting each other, and the characters in the play are happy and harmonious together, which is very suitable for the atmosphere of the New Year family, bringing the audience full of laughter and touch.
From "Wulin Wai Biao" to "Dragon Gate Dart Game" has proved the audience's love for this mode of drama, and "Washe Jianghu" has added a new plot "variation" on this basis, playing more tricks than sitcoms with a single scene. "Washe Jianghu" uses a secret passage to skillfully connect the palace and washe, the two plot lines are both parallel and mutually influencing, and the little emperor repeatedly jumps between people and people below, creating countless natural laughs.
Although the main plot line of "Washe Jianghu" takes place in Washe, the palace plot line has playfully deconstructed the stereotypes of the emperor's life in the film and television, so that the audience can be greatly addicted while understanding the spirit. The two lines also make "Washe Jianghu" always full of suspense, and the whereabouts and growth process of the little emperor always touch the hearts of the audience, so that the whole drama will not be scattered because of the dense comedy bridge, and also let the audience gain a full harvest while decompressing and relaxing.
It is worth mentioning that there are a large number of "modern terriers" hidden in "Washe Jianghu". For example, the servant code in the palace is clearly a tribute to Asimov's "Three Laws of Robots", and the Washer treasurer uses the workplace's favorite mind map when analyzing the "complex life" invented by the little emperor. These passages show the creative team's keen perception of young people's lives and the profound ability to skillfully integrate into ancient plots.
Sitcom + crosstalk
What chemical reactions occur?
Although "Vasher Jianghu" has made many audiences both familiar and intimate, the creative team did not stick to the old path of traditional costume comedy, but made a bold attempt in terms of drama mode, story rhythm, audiovisual language, etc., excavating from the treasure house of traditional music and art forms, integrating and penetrating, so as to explore a unique new idea of costume comedy.
Whether it is from the perspective of the actor team, the plot rhythm or the interaction of the characters, "Washe Jianghu" is a successful fusion of sitcom and cross-talk. As an enthusiastic audience member pointed out: this play is a sitcom in terms of model, and the rhythm and baggage are cross-talk. The two not only have no sense of contradiction, but achieve each other, playing a chemical reaction of 1+1>2. In recent years, with a new generation of actors on the stage, crosstalk has once again been sought after by a large number of young audiences. Cross-talk actors are also trying to get out of the small plot and bring laughter into the wider field of film and television.
Like drama, the art form of crosstalk can also inject vitality into film and television creation, and "Washe Jianghu" has made a beautiful demonstration. For example, at the beginning of each episode of "Vasher Jianghu", the regular "pre-plot summary" is replaced by a "fixed poem", which is not only refreshing, allowing the audience to instantly enter the atmosphere of listening to the story, but also ambushing the suspense of "wanting to know what will happen later".
Not only that, the comedic concentration of "Washe Jianghu" is also due to cross-talk, the collection is "exceeding the standard", and the golden sentences are like mercury pouring down, as if it is a drama connected with "terriers". Some viewers in Douban said: The lines in "Washe Jianghu" are also too "meh", and the dialogue is like throwing baggage. Lines such as "one monkey builds a house, ten monkeys tear down the wall" and "people don't repair the fence" are full of brainwashing effects, making the audience unforgettable.
In particular, the "mutual hatred" between the little emperor and the little eunuch contributed the most laughter in the whole play. The little eunuch's baggage of "cheap, gradually into a better state" has also become a bullet screen that the audience loves to brush. I have to say that the cross-talk actor's line skills make every baggage shake crisp and loud, make every role vivid and believable, and will not give people a sense of embarrassment.
In addition to adding a lot of cross-talk elements to the play, "Washe Jianghu" also integrates traditional music and art forms such as digital treasure, opera, and ancient color juggling, which not only brings surprises to the audience again and again, but also fills the comedic effect again and again, but also combines traditional art with modern network sense, so that the audience can appreciate the charm of folk traditional art while enjoying the drama.
Joy is the "just need" of the Chinese people
Little Comedy Theater explores more of the possibilities of comedy
It is not difficult to see from the attention of the Spring Festival Gala cross-talk and sketches over the years, as well as the box office performance of comedy films in the Spring Festival, that comedy content has long played an important role in the lives of Chinese people. No matter how the times change and how the communication channels change, joy is always the eternal need of users. Especially at a time when the pace of life is accelerating, young people need more comedy to relax and soothe anxiety. However, in the film and television variety market, comedy content has been in short supply for a long time.
The original intention of the establishment of Xiao comic theater is to bring users different types and forms of decompression experience through rich and diverse high-quality comedy content. "Vasher Jianghu" is the first attack of Xiao Com Theater in terms of genre comedy. Next, Xiao Com Theater will also launch the workplace comedy "Breaking Things Elite", the martial arts theme comedy "Doctor is Doctor TWO is Two", etc., each of which is a spark-filled "laughing artist group portrait", each with a very different comedic temperament.
For example, "Doctor is Medicine Two is Two", which has released a pilot trailer, has vividly displayed the unique Northeast comedy, and many viewers commented that "as soon as you open your mouth, it is an inner taste". And "Breaking The Elite" has been full of expectations from fans and netizens in the script creation stage, making the genre of urban comedy the favorite of young people again.
Returning to the perspective of the industry, the reason why "Washe Jianghu" can inherit the classics while innovating is also because it has gathered two generations of comedy talents in the domestic comedy industry, and the combination of strong and powerful has collided with overflowing sparks. This drama is directed by Qi Xiaohui, who has participated in directing "The Story of Wulin Wai" and "The Story of the Cooking Class", and Shu Huan, who has created classic works such as "I Love My Home", as the screenwriter, and performed by a group of new generation actors such as Qin Xiaoxian, Zhao Xiaotang, Meng Hetang, Cao Heyang, Li Hedong, Zhang Haoyue and so on.
Such a combination not only ensures that the "Washe Jianghu" drama and director are both online, with a solid foundation in domestic comedy, but also can impress today's young people through modern elements and interpretations.
Looking at the list of Xiao com theater films, whether it is "Washe Jianghu" or "Breaking Things Elite" of "Wei Zheng returns with old friends", it can be clearly seen that the creative concept of Xiao Com Theater is to gather the top professional comedy talents in China to "co-create", and work with the comedy alliance to reconstruct a healthy and sustainable comedy creation ecology, after all, a tree is not a forest, and a hundred flowers are spring.
Last year, iQIYI's "Annual Comedy Competition" became a phenomenon-level variety show that was hotly discussed on the whole network, showing that young audiences have a strong desire for comedy in the new era that faces the present and breaks the boundaries, which also means that comedy content still has huge potential to be tapped. Just like the "Annual Comedy Competition", Xiao tease theater is also "funny" at the same time, exploring more possible paths of comedy, meeting the diverse aesthetic needs of users, and delivering the spiritual value of "creating more joy in the play and dissolving some realistic anxiety" for the audience.
epilogue
At present, the plot of "Washe Jianghu" is just halfway through, the comment area is drowned out by the call for change, and the audience expects "Washe" to continue to send fancy stems. The entertainment value officer saw in iQiyi that "Vasher Jianghu" has continued to increase since the beginning of this week, and this comedy of "gradually getting better" has also made more and more audiences addicted. The hit of "Washe Jianghu" has made the Little Comedy Theater usher in the "opening of the door" of the Year of the Tiger. It is believed that with the fermentation and addition of this drama's reputation, the comedy banner of Xiao tease theater will be more deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, creating a comedy classic that belongs to this era.
