Chapter 103: Comedy (Part 2)

The audience vote ended, and the host invited the three people to come out during the game, and interviewed Chen Changlin first.

The host is Lin Hai…

"Everyone knows that Chen Changlin is a famous director. What I want to say now is the chief planner and producer of our "Happy Comedy". Let's put it this way, the reason why the variety show "Happy Comedy" was born is because of him!"

The audience was surprised...

Chen Changlin smiled: "...It's not that exaggerated, I just provided a small idea!"

"Can you tell me why you want to do this variety show?"

"The reason is quite simple. The crosstalk of the Spring Festival Gala and the sketches are not good... I always think that comedy is comedy, and I have to talk about something else. I just want to be funny, and I have to add something to try to move me and educate me. Should I watch the Spring Festival Gala or touch China?"

"But I can also understand that the most wonderful thing about the sketch is a small word.

The streets of the city are trivial and diverse in life, and are processed and interpreted into sketches. Such formed works originate from life and are more artistic than life.

But the Spring Festival Gala is not like this. It is a sketch in name, but after watching it, it seems like a symposium was held, which is honest, loves work and dedicated... a model opera!"

"I talked to Zhang Chen, the boss of Happy Mahua, about this. His point of view is that the review is too serious, and the changes are made from left to right, and good works are also gone!"

"I asked him if he was given a relatively loose stage, could Mahua show himself to the fullest? He said of course, and then I wanted to do a variety show about Mahua, but during the preparation process, I thought about it, why only focus on Mahua? There are many domestic comedy teams, so why do you want to call all the top comedy teams in China!"

"How can we attract audiences? Adding the competitive elements is just like a talent show, the difference is that our judges are audiences!"

“That’s what we originally thought about creating Happy Comedy.”

"Thanks to Oriental TV, especially Director Yang, for always trusting us. I remember that she didn't even find the title for the first two episodes of "Happy Comedy", so she still insisted on broadcasting as always!"

"Thanks!"

Chen Changlin folded his hands together...

The sensational part ends.

Comedy soon started...

Feng Pants has a good say, and his Feng’s comedy is the signature!

...

"I think my movies have something that is consistent. To put it bluntly, it is humanitarianism, which is rooted in my bones.

Whether it is Ge You who drove a car and broke up with a friend in "If You Are the One", he felt sad when he saw you again in "The Cellphone" or the grandmother in "The Cellphone"...

Including the ending of "Assembly"...

For example, you want me to film the ending of "Tangshan Earthquake" in which Yuanni didn't see her daughter until she died, and she didn't know that her daughter was still alive. It was not until Fang Deng became a grandmother that she regretted it...

But I felt very nervous, so I must ask them to return to humanitarianism after experiencing the darkest choice in humanity.

I think this is why the audience likes to watch my movies every time. I will never twist with them. I am definitely not trying to cater to the audience, I am catering to myself."

"When most people think of comedy, they often think that comedy should be surrounded by an established shell...

I actually just want to write about my ideal life, a life that is attractive to me.

Just like the protagonist in Wang Shuo's novels, he is idle every day, but he is actually bored most of the time. However, Wang Shuo presents the most interesting things that happen in a month or a summer in these days, so you feel that he is always busy there from morning to night.

Actually, I am obsessed with this kind of life, so when I write the script, I am willing to...

Take "If You Are the One" as an example. This guy is going to marry every day. I see this today and that tomorrow, but I end up looking for a very cool honey. How interesting it is. This is the life I yearn for. I put it in the movie. I really didn't go to the road of making a comedy to make anyone laugh.

There is another kind of comedy, which is Hong Kong-style comedy, but now only Zhou Xingxing can get everyone's recognition.

His path is in line with Jim Carrey, or Chaplin's path.

There are also Chen Peisi in the mainland. I am not from that. My comedy is divided into two parts, part of which is my obsessed life, and part of which is also my feeling that there are a bunch of people and things, so I joke with them about comedy. I especially cannot accept that kind of comedy that is twitching - the kind that relies on my body to make fun of it."

"Of course, what I said may not be right! But if you ask me to talk about comedy and movies, I can only say that!"

Pants are talking sincerely about their understanding of comedy and movies...

When he arrived at Xu Zheng, he said it very simply: "I think comedy is different from funny. Movies mainly need to empathize the audience and get a sense of identity!"

"Comedy is divided into two types. One is the genius type. Like Chaplin and Stephen Chow, they are genius type. They have their own style. The audience never gets tired of watching it, and they are funny. The other is the method school. I am the typical method school because we don't have a strong personal comedy style. We mainly rely on some plot design, coincidence, misalignment and other methods to create comedy effects."

"But I just watched Teacher Shen Teng's performance, and I think he is a truly genius comedian..."

"I'm just talking about him now. It's over. Your "Lost in Thailand" has been filmed!"

Shen Changlin interrupted him and took over the topic: "I have watched every episode of "Happy Comedy". Let me talk about my attitude first. I agree that comedy is free and as long as the audience laughs, but there are always people who want to climb higher in this mountain. Shen Teng is not an exaggeration to say that it is the most capable of this group of people."

"If I say that, don't be upset with others. If the pursuit is just "funny", we don't need comedy. There are too many funny videos on the Internet!"

"The essence of comedy is still "drama". It is deliberately created and it requires a structure to stand."

"We won't talk about the core of comedy, which is a tragedy. We talked too much, and thought it was intended to be deliberately sensational.

Let’s talk about drama, Aristotle, who used a whole book of Poetics to talk about tragedy. In ancient Greece, comedy was not valued. Poetics only mentioned one sentence: comedy is an imitation of our inferior people, and he also pointed out the predecessors and characteristics of comedy, satirical poetry and comics."

"Rebellion, deconstruction, dispel authority, pursuit of freedom, promoting individual vitality, etc., are the comedy spirits accumulated over the years!"

“Funny is just the first layer of comedy!”

"Of course, most comedy can't even satisfy the first level at this stage!"

"At this stage, let's make fun of it first... After all, this is a pyramid structure, which is both meaningful and effective, and there are not many in decades."

...

After the number of public votes, all three of them voted for Happy Twist...

"We just heard Director Chen talk about a lot of opinions on comedy. Do you have any ideas for making a comedy?"

"Of course I have ideas... but I have to wait, my shooting plan has been scheduled for three years!"
