"The sound of firecrackers is one year old, and the spring breeze sends warmth into TuSu." At a time when computers and mobile phones were not as convenient and developed as they are now, the Spring Festival Gala was the most important program every year, and every Chinese New Year's Eve night, everyone sat around the TV to watch the Spring Festival Gala. The Spring Festival Gala is a unique memory in the hearts of many audiences, and at that time, once the stars had the honor of performing the program on the Spring Festival evening, they entered the audience's field of vision.
On the stage of the Spring Festival Gala, a series of classic Chinese sketches were indeed born, which are still praised today. If you want to say a few works, most people blurt out Works such as Zhao Benshan's "Selling Cars" and "Selling Abductions". What is less known is that Zhao Benshan's predecessor was Chen Peisi.
Many young viewers don't know Chen Peisi anymore because he's been gone for twenty years. Not long ago, the 67-year-old Chen Peisi returned to the stage again, which triggered the excitement of many old fans. However, as a "comedy master", he was criticized for talking about comedy and anti-netizens in the show, which caused a lot of controversy. So why did he attract so much controversy?
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="5" > re-emerged to cause controversy</h1>
Not long ago, the fifth season of the popular talk show "Round Table Pie" was launched, and the guest of the show was Chen Peisi, who had not been seen for a long time. Chen Peisi shared his experience in acting sketches with everyone on this trip. However, netizens' evaluation of this issue is mixed. Some people like to watch and feel that he is at the heart of comedy; some people don't like his style of speaking and think he is too pretentious.
In the face of such a voice, many middle-aged audiences can't sit still. It is not surprising that for them, Chen Peisi is a generation of comedians and an exclusive memory in the minds of countless people. Many middle-aged audiences angrily denounced young audiences for being arrogant and superficial, insulting old artists. In this regard, Chen Peisi looked at it very lightly, and after years of wind and rain, he had already become spoiled.
So, what exactly did Chen Peisi say that caused such a contradiction?
In the show, Chen Peisi did not say the big truth or share his own experience like the previous guests, and his content all revolved around his old comedy. He said that the core of comedy is self-harm, and if you want to make a comedy that the audience loves to watch, you can't hold it, you have to ugly yourself, in order to win applause.
In his masterpiece "EatIng Noodles", he plays a tragic role in a tragic role set in the 1980s, when people often had to go hungry. In this case, this small role came into being.
In order to eat a full meal, he came to the crew and played the role of eating noodles. Therefore, in the process of filming, he secretly ate noodles and could not even say the lines. In the end, after eating a bucket of noodles, he did not act well, but he could not hold up, could not stand, and stole chickens and did not become erosion of rice.
Chen Peisi said that what can be repeatedly verified to have an effect must be called a law, and as long as it is used well, it will have a good effect.
Later, this theory did prove to be feasible. In the now hot comedian Shen Teng's movie "The Richest Man in Xihong", Shen Teng put this theory into practice and was very successful. In fact, not only movies and sketches, but all the works of art that can make people laugh are inseparable from this principle.
Talk show actor Xu Zhisheng, with a face that is not very handsome or even a little ugly, he successfully transformed this face into a paragraph, and he tried it out. He said: "I can sell noodles, I can sell steamed buns, but if I were to sell masks, wouldn't it be too dangerous?" "There is no advanced kernel, just as it has been loved by the audience.
These examples are enough to prove that the public attack on the uselessness of Chen Peisi's statement is completely wrong, on the contrary, his theory can be easily used by even ordinary people.
In addition to the technique, Chen Peisi also talked about how to use the skill. Technique is a fragment, but if you want the audience to really love it and stay in the audience's heart after a few years, it not only requires the audience to laugh, but also has a deep meaning and logic to do it.
Although he has been away from the television circle for more than twenty years, Chen Peisi still retains the high standards and strict requirements for art, and refuses to follow the tide. On the show, he unceremoniously points out that many of the popular comedy movies are not good works at all, because there is no spirit as a support. What Chen Peisi really appreciates is a comedy film with structure and connotation like "Zhang Xiezhuangyuan".
The reason why such works are popular and recognized by old artists is because he has a reasonable plot and a layered structure, the upper and lower stories are tightly sewn together, none of them are written casually, and they are all designed with ingenuity and just right.
However, such a serious and responsible attitude has been criticized by the audience, which many people have not expected. The audience did not approve of Chen Peisi's ideas, but felt that the treatment of comedy should not be so true, and the audience should just watch it lively. As everyone knows, really good works have laughter and pain, and laughter with tears.
Interlaced like a mountain, compared to Chen Peisi himself did not expect that what he was criticized for was his proudest artistic style.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="7" > satisfied with the status quo and confidently cared for the comedy cause</h1>
Speaking of Chen Peisi, I have to mention the brilliant experience of his youth. In 1979, the fledgling Chen Peisi's work "Look at This Family" attracted much attention as soon as it was broadcast, won high praise, and was loved by many viewers. This work also pioneered sitcoms, and many of the comedies that are now popular have developed from this.
In 1984, Chen Peisi and Zhu Shimao appeared on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala together, and this old partner was also remembered by the audience. After that, Chen Peisi's career blossomed on both sides, leaving his name in the history of sketches and the history of film. After 2000, Chen Peisi suddenly withdrew from the stage, and until now, almost no works have been broadcast. It turned out that he was preserving his own civilization.
In the interview, Chen Peisi mentioned the demise of traditional culture many times. "Civilization is very fragile, it takes effort to protect it, but it's fairly easy to destroy," he said. "Comedy career is something that Chen Peisi has guarded all his life, and he is afraid that this culture will also be forgotten, so he volunteers to become a beacon and guard the comedy culture." Chen Peisi is so sober, how many comedians blush?
Han Yu said in the "Sayings of the Master" that preaching and teaching karma to solve puzzles. Now Chen Peisi is at ease as a preacher. Over the years, after quitting the entertainment industry, he has been precipitating himself, studying the meaning and value of comedy.
Comedy did not begin in our time, but was recorded in history more than a thousand years ago. However, no one wants to study it, because it takes too much effort.
Today, Chen Peisi is still working in his favorite comedy business, focusing on folk customs and stories, drawing nourishment from real life and creating his own culture and works. In his works, there are not only more advanced jokes, but also an understanding of human feelings.
Qu gao and widow, this is the current situation that Chen Peisi is facing. But in the future, I believe more people will take the torch in his hand.
