Cover news reporter Xun Chao
On the evening of September 14, the new issue of "Talk Show Conference 4" was launched, and Yang Bo, a newcomer talk show actor who won a seat in the upper area with a workplace segment, once again conquered the audience with a dense laugh point of a burden. Although the text is not long, Yang Bo's control over the rhythm is quite in place, seemingly unfazed tone, but in fact, the waves are monstrous, one-liner decadent talk show, sentences bursting. Yang Bo himself has also been praised by netizens as a "cold-faced smilester" and has become a powerful candidate for the new season of "Talk Show King". Before the program was broadcast, the cover news reporter interviewed Yang Bo himself, and compared with the "high cold" in the program, Yang Bo in life had a few more pyrotechnics.
In middle school, I started telling jokes
Junior year "into the industry" talk show due to frustration
"In fact, everyone sees the cold look in my show, it is a stage person I have created, and I am definitely not like that in life." Yang Bo laughed and said that his first contact with talk shows was in the second semester of his junior year. Because of some setbacks, he chose to use the talk show to release himself. "In fact, when I think about it now, these setbacks are nothing, but when I was a student, I felt very sad and wanted to adjust it."
So, he joined the "Chongqing City Club" with a group of friends who like talk shows, and everyone got together every three or five minutes to talk about talk shows, and then talk about them, and come to an offline performance. "Of course, I was timid to talk about talk shows in front of everyone for the first time, let alone the first time, even after two or three years of talking, I was still timid sometimes."
Fortunately, Yang Bo met a group of good friends, "At that time, our gang in Chongqing were very good, sometimes we didn't go to talk about talk shows, many times I wanted to meet them and play with these people." When I first spoke, there was no audience, but they kept encouraging me. There is another reason why Yang Bo can quickly adapt to the stage, "I like the stage, since middle school, I like to tell people jokes and tell people About Guo Degang's crosstalk." When I was in college, I had such an opportunity, and with the right stage, I was able to stick to it. ”
Break through bottlenecks to find yourself
Expect the talk show genre to blossom
What really touched Yang Bo was that he once went to Shanghai with a friend to listen to Zhou Qimo's special performance. "It was when I first started in the industry, and after watching Boss Zhou's performance, I was so shocked and inspired. Then I also began to learn his method of creating, to speak. But later I found out that his method is good, but I can't talk about it well, because I can't perform, I always have a barrier in my heart, and I can't perform like Zhou Qimo. You also saw in the show, he played the Tianjin uncle, especially brilliant, I am also very envious, but I have a barrier, I can't break through myself to let myself perform like that, I can't act. ”
Copying other people's ways does not work, and Yang Bo has fallen into the bottleneck of performance. He knew that if a stand-up comedian didn't have a self-style, didn't have much self-expression to express, the passage wouldn't be too funny. "In fact, I have studied many types of talk shows, but these two or three years are not able to break through the most critical point." Until March this year, Yang Bo participated in writing to Yan Hexiang in the "Spit Conference 5". "Yan Hexiang's speech speed is much slower than that of a talk show actor, so let me also slow down." Slowly and slowly, I suddenly remembered that I had seen a foreign one-liner style actor before. ”
One-liner, one joke at a time. Although the text is not long, it is not easy to make a good sentence. Every time he wrote a manuscript, Yang Bo had to rack his brains and scrap countless manuscripts. Nowadays, it seems that this style of performance has a surprisingly good effect. "Every actor needs to have their own style, it's very difficult to pinpoint, and once you find it, it will explode." He is also grateful to "Talk Show Conference", "This show not only attracted a large audience, promoted the audience's awareness of talk shows, but also attracted a lot of actors to come in. I hope that this industry is getting better and better, and the "good" I mean is not only a large number, but also a large number of types, and a hundred flowers bloom. For example, Boss Zhou Qimo Zhou, he is very good, I also like it very much, but I don't want to have 100 Zhou bosses, I hope that everyone can find their own style and avoid homogenization. ”
Write passages in the alternate world
"Trick" the audience with sincerity and laugh out loud
Some people say that Yang Bo is very suitable for the one-liner style, thinking that he looks a little thick and sincere, his voice is low, and when he stands on the stage, people unconsciously believe him. Even Li Shi said, "He has a loyal face, even if he is 'talking nonsense' and has been deceived by him three times, but you still want to believe him." ”
For Yang Bo, this "deception" is sincere. "A lot of actors' passages come from the accumulation of life, and many of my passages are overhead and imaginary. But when I made it up, I also tried to make it up to the truth. I'm very sincere in deceiving you on stage, but people love to eat this. Saying, he took cross-talk as an example, "Many cross-talk actors will make up stories, you know that this paragraph is made up, but the audience listens to it is fun, listening to play." I think Chinese listen to talk shows and want to hear some real things and the real thoughts of the actors. ”
At the same time, Yang Bo has very high requirements for the text he wrote, and every time everyone hears the version, he has modified it thousands of times. "It's because one-liner is very demanding for the text, every sentence has to have a laugh point, and you have to make everyone guess, let people guess that you're finished." Including everyone sees that I have a very slow pace, I will have a long pause before the stem, in case everyone guesses it during this time, I will not laugh, and what is more terrible is that if there is an audience to take the stubble, I will be completely gone, so I always want to think about those reversals. "Some actors listen to Yang Bo's passages and start guessing his stems." I like this feeling, and if they guess the stem, I don't want it, because only in this way can the quality of a work be guaranteed. ”
In addition to text and performance, for Yang Bo, the most important thing about talk shows is "state". "Some people will be very nervous after coming on stage, and I was also very nervous in the first half of the first round, until Teacher Da Zhang Wei photographed me with a light, and then slowly adjusted to achieve the best effect I wanted." The adjustment of this state is inseparable from the feedback of the audience, "Our audience feedback is good, and our state is naturally good." ”
【Dialogue】
Imitating others will not develop for a long time Finding your own style is the most important thing
Cover News: Are you a gifted stand-up comedian?
Yang Bo: I'm not, but I envy these talented players. For example, some actors' looks are his talent, as soon as the audience comes up, they feel that this person has a sense of joy, and he can achieve a good effect by ridiculing and self-deprecating; others are born with a sense of humor and will naturally pick up the stem. Some people's language rhythms are inherently playful. For example, the humor level of the northeast people, if you follow a chat with the northeast people, you will feel that this person is very interesting and willing to talk.
Cover News: In addition to talent, the accumulation of daily life and material accumulation is also very important, right?
Yang Bo: Yes, this kind of life experience is also something that I am very envious of. Some people have more experience in life, talk more things, and see things deeply. Even if you don't have that strong comedic skills, you will feel that the other person is speaking very strongly, because people are very experienced and have a lot of depth of thought. Many of us actors have a habit of recording some fun things in life, writing down a few key words, and then processing them when they have time. My current style is actually not so dependent on life, and many of my passages are empty of reality.
Cover News: Is it more difficult to grasp the overhead paragraph?
Yang Bo: Yes, although many of them are made up, I can't make up too outrageous, making up stories also needs to be grasped, I can't make up too outrageous, to be close to reality, very sincere to let the audience believe in you.
Cover News: What was the most torturous thing in the creative process?
Yang Bo: The hardest thing for me is that there is not enough preparation time, I performed well in the second round because I tried this style for a very short time, but compared with others, my disadvantage is also very large, I have no inventory, so every round needs to be re-created, but the preparation time given later is not enough, so it is quite painful. Moreover, my kind of segment takes longer than a normal talk show actor, because I am a lot of creation, a lot of elimination, I eliminated a lot of paragraphs than them, and the success rate is not as high as other paragraphs, it takes a lot of creation and a lot of experimentation. So for 5-7 minutes on a show, I spend a lot more time writing a good manuscript than other actors.
Cover News: What's the reason you've always had the motivation to keep creating it?
Yang Bo: The initial motivation was provided to me by these actors, and when I first talked about one-liner, the quality of the paragraph was not good, and the audience effect was average. But the actors were very supportive of me, including the owner of Zhou Qimo Zhou, whom I respected very much, and he also encouraged me to let me stick to this style. That's why I stuck with it early on. Now on the show, a big factor is that the second round of the program response is relatively good, netizens have also given me a lot of praise, and the support of the audience has given me a lot of motivation.
Cover News: From an actor's point of view, what do you think is the criterion for judging whether a work is good or not?
Yang Bo: The classification of talk shows is comedy, and the most basic requirement of comedy is of course to make everyone laugh. Funny, of course important, it's a talk show actor's responsibility to the audience. As for what kind of subject matter the actor chooses and what point of view he expresses, that is the subjective thing of the actor, which is not affected by the audience.
Cover News: What's important besides being funny?
Yang Bo: Attitude is very important, and some of the actors' views on a thing are also very important. For example, many of Bird Bird's views are very novel, and she has her attitude, which is very good. Including the attitude of some actors, it is very important to look at it after the appearance.
Cover News: How do you hope the one-liner style will evolve in the future?
Yang Bo: In fact, one-liner is very mature abroad, but few people in China have tried. For the public, I hope that everyone can recognize the talk show and this style. I also hope that I can set up this style in China, so that everyone will think of me when they mention one-liner in the future, and one-liner and Yang Bo will be bound together. Although I also learned from foreign actors, I have changed a lot, because the way of thinking and topics abroad is difficult for us to accept Chinese, so I also integrate one-liner into the ways, methods and ideas we Chinese. I hope that everyone has their own characteristics, not that everyone is the same, homogenization is a terrible thing, I hope that everyone can find their own way of expression, after all, imitating others will not develop for a long time.
