How to relieve worries, only hilarious. But how long have you not laughed in front of the screen? It's often getting "Oh, here's a meme", or even "It's cleverly designed here", but still expressionless.
The emergence of the "Annual Comedy Contest" has caused comedy fans a lot of confusion. These comedians are so funny, how come I haven't seen them before? It turns out that comedy can be so diverse? Perhaps the audience has not been able to realize that comedy variety shows have indeed not seen a phenomenon-level explosion for a long time.
iQiyi station in the variety show hit list No. 1, the premiere of 193 hot searches, Weibo topic # annual comedy contest # read 370 million discussions 222,000, Douban open score 8.0... The public's attention to the "Annual Comedy Competition" can be seen. Comedy as a long-standing subject, as long as you do it seriously, you can still let the audience feel the heat of the ideal.
On this stage, Iron Man gives the work as a love letter to the comedy, Wu Liuqi uses a paper boat to summon the childlike heart of adults, and Jin Jing and Liu Shengying tearfully sigh that something very corner is heard. When the comedian, as an independent individual, was excavated by the "Annual Comedy Competition" to dig out a full range of character arcs. This relatively niche group in the past also has the opportunity to resonate with the spirit of the public.
It's a win-win comedy experiment where not only comedians find their original intentions, but also audiences who are keen on comedy unlock a source of happiness. After laughing out loud, we see ourselves and our lives in the works, and perhaps this is the enduring charm of the art of comedy.

"Annual Comedy Competition" is an original comedy competition variety show produced by iQiyi and co-produced by Mi Wei. Ma Dong served as the secretary general of the organizing committee, and Huang Bo, Li Shi, Xu Zheng, Yu Hewei served as the president of the organizing committee. With the help of multi-themed works, the program displays original Chinese comedy works with excellent quality and diverse genres, so that comedy newcomers who love life can enter the public's vision.
If the first issue is a dazzling surprise, and the second issue is the high energy of your party singing my debut, then the third issue tonight (October 29) is a confession with a pulse.
Iron Man, Yang Fan, and Guan Chao's "Laugh, Piolevich" has become the starting point of humor with the setting that ordinary people in the war era cannot tell jokes and tell paragraphs. In order to cover their friends, they decided to say something in order to cover their friends, and they decided to say something.
At first, the two men caught at the police station were cowardly, and when the officers found out that they were using the comedic technique of "dropping the stool", they used their feet to slip and cover. Later, when they procrastinated their escaped friends, they suddenly became brave and fearless, and they told a series of jokes to the officers like popping beans. The righteousness of the small people in the work is awe-inspiring, and the audience is directly substituted into the prescribed situation of the creator, reaching a value resonance.
Jiang Long and Zhang Chi's "This Killer Is Not Cold" also makes people can't help but be funny. Can you imagine a killer who can't get the job done because he can't let go of his musical dreams? Although comedy is based on absurdity, the ridicule of reality is solid. We all had ideals, but in the end we might be able to do other work. But when that love is rekindled, whose heart won't be soft?
"Annual Comedy Contest" has both refreshing sketch comedies and diverse comedy genres such as mime, comic talent, and clown drama. In particular, the short and fast characteristics of sketch comedy are in line with the acceptance habits of the current audience, so that comedy has once again found a way back to the public vision.
In "Sanmao Defense War", Zong Juntao and others perform comedy in the form of a drama, fully interpreting the hidden pain in the heart of hair loss people. Knowing that the three hairs of the anthropomorphism are fictional, the audience still does not hesitate to laugh; Yin Bexi in "The Navigation of the Drama" conquers the stage with the imitation of chartered wife, Guanyin and Ziwei. The sentence "Open so fast, is it to rush to see Qing'er" makes people think that it is the original version.
After the logical starting point is established, the sketch comedy brings a short and fast small shop to the audience through the continuous upgrading of a game point. The bloom of sketch comedy is undoubtedly one of the most successful artistic experiments in the Annual Comedy Competition. The diverse types of "new generation comedies" and their own styles show great differentiation.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="39" > deconstruct life and unleash love</h1>
Ma Dong said: "Comedy is a mirror, and its mirror is mainly to look at itself or the environment around it. "He felt it after watching "Good Girlfriend", and the duality in Nana is actually in everyone.
In addition to making the audience laugh, "Good Girlfriend" also fully deconstructs the problems and troubles in life. After all, when forced to apply for a card, who doesn't want a second personality to pop up and say "I'm sorry, I don't need to"? Bravely speaking your inner thoughts, rather than twisting and tangling at both ends, may be a straightforward solution.
Jiang Shimeng, Guo Dabao, Liu Siwei's "Internet Physical Examination" complained about many symptoms such as Internet advertising, advanced on-demand video websites, and acting in live broadcast rooms with goods, and the audience who felt empathy was praised. The speed of the doctor played by Jiang Shimeng is like time solidification, Liu Siwei bought the "acceleration package", and he finished pumping with a bang. While the Internet has brought us convenience, it has indeed increased these strange troubles.
Wu Liuqi's "Crusoe" uses a projection boat to bring the audience into the innocent fairy tale world. The protagonist, Bob, comes to the villain country because of the sea storm and finds a child who is looking for his grandmother. The protagonist uses his huge body to carry out dimensionality reduction strikes, teach the wolf and the wolf father a lesson, and help the children find their grandmother. The "goodbye, my friend, goodbye" at the time of parting made many people's eyes moist.
Yu Hewei remembered the circus he watched when he was a child, "He is a completely new form, and I really want to thank you, the guardian of the childlike heart." When Li Shi was surprised to find wu liuqi using the projection boat, he felt that the whole place was hypnotized. Although Ma Dong jokingly called it a "small broken boat", isn't the small broken boat carrying the big fantasies of our childhood? When the world envelops us, childhood is lost in the most precious corner. The work takes us back to our childhood, like a 10-minute journey through time.
Although "The Most Beautiful Woman in the World" is about the "small matter of lost love", it is precisely the emotional comfort that contemporary urban youth urgently need. In order to make the girl not lose, the driver finally gave up the fight to carry her alone; the story of "Platform" originated from Zhu Ziqing's "Back Shadow", a father who wanted to hug in his heart but his body was always rejecting, allowing the audience to see the implicit restraint of Chinese fatherly love.
On the stage of the "Annual Comedy Competition", we saw the perseverance and love of comedians for ten years. Iron Man wants to dedicate the work as a love letter to comedy, and Jin Jing returns to the comedy stage and sighs: "We will continue to do this thing with our heads held high, because we are really happy." "For a comedian who has become famous, it is undoubtedly brave to put yourself in the position of the game again.
As a comedy platform that has attracted a lot of attention, the show also allows more mid-waist comedians to be seen and show their style to harvest growth. Huang Bo told Wang Hao and Shi Ce that gold will always shine, but you have to fight for more opportunities. Xu Zheng also believes that the show can help many middle-level powerful actors get rid of the disadvantages in choice. Those self-deprecating ankle actors finally have the opportunity to move upwards.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="40" > deep experience of comedy</h1>
Jiang Yi, Li Dong, and Chen Tianming's "Boiled "Three Knots of Righteousness"" is a typical psychedelic comedy, and the laughter points are different. Wang Zi's "Karate Master" and Wu Liuqi's "Crusoe" belong only to them, even if you give the book to others, you can't act.
It is not difficult to see that the works of the "Annual Comedy Competition" have a strong "co-creation". Each work is the result of the participation and cooperation of actors, screenwriters, directors, and performance directors.
Zhang Youwei and Yan Peilun of "One Heart And No Two Uses" prefer the laughter of the horns, and the screenwriter Ah Gin took inspiration from the college classmates who "can't run two modules at the same time". In the process of creating and rehearsing, it was changed from "single-minded use" to "sound and painting are not synchronized". Just staying in the same mind, the innovation of the work is obviously lacking. Brainstorming by three people takes the quality of comedy to the next level.
The idea of "misidentifying" the twins in "Strange Neighbor Seat on the Bus" was suddenly conceived by the screenwriter Teacher Huan Zhu, but without the tacit understanding of Potato and Lü Yan, I am afraid that it will not be able to show all the inspiration of the script; after Huang Chengcheng and others denied 7 books, it was the Teacher of the Six Beasts who was in danger who was ordered to write the father-son relationship in "Platform" from the actor's own emotions.
Screenwriting is a behind-the-scenes profession, but it is also the most indispensable and even crucial role in a work. In recent years, everyone in the film and television field has paid more and more attention to screenwriters, and quite a few screenwriters have become the quality assurance in the hearts of the audience. But how the screenwriter works and how the work was born is still a mystery.
In the "Annual Comedy Competition", the comedy writer finally stepped on the stage. The appearance and exchange of screenwriter teachers Liu Beast, Huan Zhu, Ah Gin and others let the audience understand the front and back of the comedy work, thus achieving a deeper comedy experience.
Not only the screenwriters, but the comedians in the "Annual Comedy Contest" have been together for months before their first performance, and some have even been partners for many years. Between laughter and anger, they also present another side of the comedian's life that is not well known to the audience.
The trio of Iron Man, Yang Fan and Guan Chao is the "Chaoyang Boy", and yu Ao, Jin Jing, and Liu Shengying have become the life version of "Sixsome". Everyone lives together and plays together, and it feels like a sitcom.
On stage, there are not a few comedians who shed tears for other people's works. They are not competitors in the competition, but allies who witness the journey of comedy to their dreams. Jin Jing and Liu Shengying once cried off their false eyelashes in the background, and the comedian who every cell on the stage was burning was not himself offstage?
The early program of the "Annual Comedy Competition" highlights the blossoming of the comedy ecology. The later team battle format makes the creative aggregation of comedians more watchable. The participation of the three presidents continued to keep the audience looking forward to it. In their words and deeds, the intergenerational inheritance of comedians or actors is invaluable.
Behind the laughter is healing, and even cuter than comedy are the people who create comedy. When the "Annual Comedy Competition" brought many comedies to the audience, it not only ignited the enthusiasm of comedy fans, but also opened up comedy variety shows. In the content ecology, the diversified forms of comedy are accepted and tolerated, the ins and outs of comedy creation are becoming clearer, and the spirit of comedy is transmitted to the audience by the works, completing a new sharp attempt to break the circle of communication.
This is the return of comedy, this is the triumph of comedians, and it is also the spring of comedy fans.
