Beijing, August 6 (Liu Yue) "Comedy is like this, it is not impatient, it is not the same as the song" "I am more or less a little 'social terror', (on stage) that is all pretended" "They said Teacher Sun you have to 'poisonous tongue' a little, I said I am also a 'non-venomous snake'"... Recently, the CCTV variety show "The Most Dramatic Life" is being recorded in a certain studio center in Daxing District, Beijing. Between rehearsals, a burst of laughter came out of the interview room of comedian Sun Tao.
This time on the stage of "Life is the Most Dramatic", Sun Tao sat in the guest seat as a "good drama witness officer". You don't have to say, look at his suit is quite stylish, comment on it and talk, when not laughing, polite and upright, laugh cheerfully and generously, just like the audience's impression of "not old" appearance.
Childlike face is not old, mentality is young, Sun Tao is a big "show" Internet buzzword
Yes, not old. Born in 1968, Sun Tao is 53 years old, and even if you look closely in the interview, it is difficult to find the traces left by the years on this face. At the CCTV Spring Festival Gala one year, Sun Tao starred as a "father", because he was too young to make up for the program team. Sun Tao recalled: "At that time, I painted makeup for more than an hour, painted wrinkles, painted like a cat, and then painted my beard, hair, eyebrows white, they said 'Teacher Sun, if you don't paint, it looks too young', so I can't stand it, so I can't stand it, so I can't paint." ”
Not only does he look young, Sun Tao's mentality is also great. Although in the interview, he repeatedly laughed at himself for "not being able to keep up with the trend", he popped up a fashionable Internet word for a while: "I am more or less 'socially afraid'"; "I'm a bit 'flying' right now"; "I can 'get' to their point" "I should also be regarded as the 'value ceiling' of the sketch world."
In this regard, Sun Tao laughed and said that this is all the group of children in the program who gave him "edification". If the back wave of the Yangtze River pushes the front wave, if the "front wave" is not willing to be photographed on the beach, then you have to learn how to cross the generation gap. On the stage of "The Most Dramatic Life", a large number of young comedians after the 80s and 90s crossed the sea with their own magical abilities. As a senior senior, Sun Tao has a very appreciative attitude towards this group of newborn calves: "Today's young people are amazing, too powerful, I like them very much when I see them, why?" Courageous. ”
It is true that from "Horns", "Little Things" to "The Secret Room That Cannot Escape", the program can be broadcast, and it is eye-catching with its unique network sense and novel form of expression. "People in our era are relatively conservative, and their works are whimsical, daring to do anything and say anything. They have invented a lot of words now, I can't understand, this period of time I always give me lessons, often say Teacher Sun you don't understand, this is called variety show, they say I don't dare to speak, because I am afraid of appearing too 'low'. Sun Tao couldn't help but smile: "I especially like them, I am willing to be with young people, the kind of sunshine and enthusiasm they bring you, unrestrained." ”

However, to say that ginger is still old spicy. Although the back waves are enterprising and have a keen sense of smell for the tide, the front waves also have the advantage of experience - one minute on stage, ten years of work offstage, and the dry goods accumulated over the years are also solid. So, how will a senior who has been deeply involved in comedy for many years comment on newcomers? Sun Tao replied with action: "Encouraging education."
"I'm especially afraid of their restraint, I said don't be rigid, I'm just enough to be restrained, and then there's a more restrained one than me, and I'll go play with Uncle." Sun Tao said bluntly: "You have to encourage them, young people need encouragement." Some works I do see some problems, but I can't talk about people with a hard mouth. We all came from a young age, people work hard to write a thing, you come up and say him, if you say it's not right, how uncomfortable it is to turn back. ”
After years of precipitation on the seven-point stage, three points of love for young people, Sun Tao's comments in the program are meaningful and at the same time make people feel like a spring breeze. However, Sun Tao broke the news that he almost passively incarnated as a "poisonous tongue mentor": "They (the program group) often came down to give me meetings, and they said that Teacher Sun, as an expert, you say some truth and say something heartfelt. I said I'm not an expert either, they said you have to be "poisonous tongue", I said I am not a "poisonous tongue", you get me to be a 'non-venomous snake', I can't be poisoned. ”
Crooked is entering comedy with hope for the future of the comedy industry
It is not difficult to see that Sun Tao's personality background carries the unique boldness, frankness and directness of Shandong Hanzi. According to his words, entering the comedy world at that time was a mistake. Sun Tao graduated from the military theater acting class, and in 1995, he first appeared on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala and performed the sketch "Picket", and since then he has started a comedy career. "In fact, I was also filming film and television dramas at the earliest, and later acted in "Pickets", and many people said that I was not suitable for playing sketches, because those who acted in sketches were not very good-looking. My family and lovers all say that you are quite handsome and go to film movies and TV series. ”

Sun Tao half-jokingly called himself the "ceiling of the value of the sketch industry": "Many people encourage me, affirm me, say (sketch stage) need some good-looking actors, and then I think about it, for everyone I will sacrifice myself, a little to bring you a little beautiful color, you look at those who are not good to see more is not interesting, change the taste, right? ”
However, for the comedy industry, Sun Tao still has hope - not only because of the cute, newborn houlang, but also because there are many comedians in this industry who love comedy as much as he does, are willing to embrace the times, and learn new things, and this is also his original intention to participate in "The Most Dramatic Life": "As an actor, I can know these young screenwriters, learn through their scripts, and have the opportunity to work with them, which is my biggest original intention." ”

The interview transcript is summarized below:
China News Network: What was your original intention to participate in this show?
Sun Tao: As an actor, being able to get to know these young screenwriters, learn through their scripts, and have the opportunity to work with them is my biggest intention.
In addition, most of the works we have seen in the past are synthesized, very experienced actors, very good directors, and finally synthesize this script, and everyone sees that the things are modified a lot. So this time it is actually a semi-finished product, and the audience may say that this work seems to be less funny than the original tv, but we can see the screenwriter's initial thoughts, and a well-experienced director or actor will be of great help to this script after coming up, which is a special attraction to me.
China News Network: What kind of comedy do you think can be said to be a good play?
Sun Tao: First of all, it must have a sense of the times, which is very important, close to your life. At the same time, the comedy is very strong, the work is as good as possible for most people to like, if this work can make you laugh after a little aftertaste, it is the top.
The comedy thing is like this, it's not bearable, it's not the same as the song, a popular song, you don't listen to it well at first, it sings repeatedly, when you take a taxi, the taxi driver is listening, you will think "what song, go back and listen to it". Comedy is not like this, comedy is a hammer deal. The sketch is funny or not.
Because most of the comedy is a one-time finished product, good comedy is enduring, and many of the classic good works of the comedy predecessors in the past can remember a certain moment, a certain plot or a certain character. Teacher Zhao Lirong's "Sima Cylinder Smashing Cylinder" everyone still remembers that a classic language can be passed down very powerfully, which is beyond the reach of my generation. (End)
