The head video platform released a film list, and a new variety show "King of Comedy Stand-up Season" will be launched in the third quarter of 2024. The reason why it is on the hot search is because the word "Stephen Chow" appears in the artist lineup.
This official announcement is hard to believe. According to the data, the artist lineup Stephen Chow ranks first, and the other artists finalized are Luo Yonghao, Yang Li, Zhou Qimo, Guo Qilin and Yang Tianzhen are to be invited, although it is written so, but if you can be on the same stage with Xingye, I believe no one will refuse!
The project features show that "The King of Comedy's Stand-up Season" is a new S+-level comedy IP created by "lifting the power of the platform". Stephen Chow will be the initiator of the show, inspiring comedians to pursue their dreams bravely. The resident guests will join hands with the industry OG to lead the team, recommending treasure comedians from clubs across the country, and the actors will compete with each other on the stage, growing from comedy villains all the way to the king of comedy.
Despite the title of "King of Comedy", the guest lineup and posters obviously make people feel that they are inclined to talk shows, among the currently confirmed guests, Yang Li and Zhou Qimo are all actors who stand out in "Talk Show Conference", and Luo Yonghao's talk show talent was also displayed in "Talk Show Conference".
In the poster, Coming Crazy, Comedy United Box Country, etc. are all talk show labels, and the Stand-up Original Comedy Contest is a relatively mature talk show event, it is conceivable that "The King of Comedy" wants to recruit talk show talents quickly and accurately, and cooperating with these labels and events is the most direct and efficient way, and this proves once again that this show should be based on talk shows as the main form of expression, as for the "new model" mentioned in the film list, it is still unknown, and the mystery will be revealed when the show is broadcast.
However, from the capital level, iQIYI has indeed been in a blank in terms of talk shows, and in recent years, I have seen Tencent make money, attract fans, and enhance the influence of the industry from "Tucao Conference" to "Talk Show Conference", how can you not be blushing? But after the performance turmoil, Xiaoguo Culture now seems to be yesterday's yellow flower, if iQiyi does not find a "heavy" guest, how can it be better in terms of influence and popularity? Therefore, cooperating with the veritable "King of Comedy" Stephen Chow is indeed the first choice.
But the cooperation is two-way, as a backbone old fan of Xingye, although he has been absent from the big screen for 16 years after "Yangtze River No. 7", and he really wants to see him make a comeback in front of the screen, he still very much does not want him to return on the small screen.
On the one hand, Xing Ye has always focused on the track in movies, not talk shows, assuming that "The King of Comedy Stand-up Season" is a show that focuses on talk shows, and Xing Ye can't play it, is it a decoration in the show? But if the show is not the main talk show, will these talk show actors perform skits? It must seem nondescript and difficult to ensure quality. Moreover, Stephen Chow, who insists on not appearing in movies again, can you imagine that he will cooperate with other young actors to perform on stage? The possibility is smaller than winning the jackpot in the two-color ball, don't have this hope, you won't be disappointed.
On the other hand, participating in this kind of show, in Beijing dialect, is "falling share". There are levels of actors, although this level is not as clear as the official title, but everyone has a scale in their hearts. If it is Shen Teng, Huang Bo, and Jia Ling who are sitting in the guest seat with Stephen Chow, and then they are replaced by Wei Xiang and Deng Chao, at least they will match the coffee position, but if it is talk show actors such as Yang Li and Zhou Qimo, as well as gag stars like Guo Qilin and Yang Tianzhen, are you really not afraid of embarrassment?
Although Xing Ye now has gray hair, and the director's works are declining in terms of word-of-mouth and box office after he no longer appears in movies, even if he ages gracefully, it is not better than appearing on the domestic entertainment variety show Gala!
From the materials and related information released so far, it can be seen that "The King of Comedy Stand-up Season" is actually consuming Stephen Chow without a bottom line and overdrawing his classic works.
The words "King of Comedy" on the poster are exactly the same as the font on the poster of the movie "The King of Comedy".
iQIYI announced that it has reached a strategic cooperation with Stephen Chow's Bigao Group, and will focus on Stephen Chow's more than ten classic IPs to carry out all-round cooperative development in dramas, movies, animation, variety shows and other fields. As a variety show track, "The King of Comedy Stand-up Season", it is estimated that you can see talk shows adapted from movies such as "The King of Comedy", "God of Food", "Journey to the West", "Mermaid", "Yangtze River No. 7", whether there will be sketches, short plays, sitcoms and other forms It's hard to say, but seeing these classics being wantonly overdrawn like this, will you really be happy to watch them?
And to be able to achieve such a strategic cooperation, Xing Ye is willing to take out the good things at the bottom of the box for authorization, and he must have obtained a satisfactory copyright fee and appearance fee, so he will have the power to lift the platform" These five words are really intriguing!
Now that the poster has been sent and the video materials have been made, maybe the children's programs have begun to be recorded, raw rice is cooked and cooked, I just hope that Stephen Chow will not lose his evening season! Although the Douban score of "The King of New Comedy" is already below the passing line, but after all, Stephen Chow did not appear on the scene!
