Chapter 134: The Definition of Comedy

The Galaxy Building is the Jiang family's industry, if it weren't for the fall incident, it would have become a landmark building in Jiangnan City, compared with the Times Building.

The falling incident is about feng shui, and the office building that is precisely the one who does business looks at is feng shui, so if it weren't for Shengshi Entertainment, this building doesn't know when it will be handed over for the first time.

This time, the celebration was set on the tenth floor of the Galaxy Building, a large venue that had only recently been renovated.

The celebration party was hosted by Qin Shi himself, and as the director of "Charlotte's Troubles", the main creators of the crew also attended one after another.

"Director Qin, the national box office of "Charlotte's Troubles" has exceeded 800 million, but I heard that when you filmed this movie, you couldn't even pay the salaries of the actors, is this true?"

A reporter was given the right to ask questions, stood up and asked.

"I'm glad that I didn't live up to their expectations, and if it weren't for their wonderful performances in the movie, I don't think there would be this celebration today."

Qin Shi held the microphone in his hand and said loudly, and after speaking, he deliberately set his eyes on Shen Rudao and several leading actors, and instantly the focus of the audience was on these people.

Third- and fourth-line, seventh- and eighth-tier actors, with no name.

Originally, these words were synonymous with Shen Rudao, but a "Charlotte Troubles" made them almost an instant hit, and since then they have been among the ranks of seventh- and eighth-tier actors, and they are known by more and more people in China, and their stars are bright.

In all fairness, these people are grateful to Qin Shi from the bottom of their hearts, because it was Qin Shi who gave them this opportunity, so that they finally had a shining point in this big circle and were no longer obscure.

At this time, Qin Shi deliberately pulled the topic to them, naturally hoping to make the media focus more on himself, the actors who have wonderful performances in the movie, to increase exposure.

The so-called star, without the so-called exposure, can no longer be called a star.

"Director Qin, then are you acquiescing that you didn't have the money to pay your salary at the beginning?"

The reporter pressed further.

"Yes."

Qin Shi didn't hide it, and replied briskly, without dragging his feet at all.

"At that time, everyone on the Internet was saying that this movie was invested by Su Youxia, could it be that Su Youxia gave too little money?"

Journalists have always feared that the world would not be chaotic, and the problems became more acute and more sophisticated.

At that time, the news of Qin Shi eating soft rice spread all over the sky, and almost everyone thought that Qin Shi was just a little white face with Su Youxia's long legs.

However, Qin Shi did not officially respond to the rumors that were discussed on the Internet, and at this time, this reporter brought it up in front of everyone, which was equivalent to raising a question that everyone present was curious about.

"I don't know who spread the rumor, and I don't want to respond to this uninteresting rumor."

"I just want to say, I'm a man."

Qin Shi replied domineeringly.

"Director Qin, no one said you were a woman."

I don't know who shouted in the audience, and in an instant, the whole venue burst into laughter, and there was an uproar.

"Director Qin, now many people on the Internet say that the plot of your movie is vulgar and it is a work that destroys the three views, I have also been in the cinema, and after watching it, I do think that some of the plot content in it is too vulgar, do you have anything you want to respond to?"

Just as the laughter had subsided, a reporter who had been sitting in the corner asked aloud without anyone signaling him to stand up.

And after he finished saying this, there was also a brief riot at the venue, and many reporters looked at each other, because the question asked by this reporter's fellow reporter was really a bit faceless to Qin Shi.

"That's a good question, I'll give you 101 points, and I want to make you proud by giving you one more point."

However, what was surprising was that Qin Shi squinted and smiled, not showing any anger.

"I heard that a film critic wrote an article about the vulgar plot of "Charlotte's Troubles", which made the film criticism incomplete."

"I remember saying at the premiere of the movie that it was a comedy."

"Mr. Zhu, who claims to be a veteran film critic, I think he probably doesn't know what comedy is."

Qin Shi held the microphone in his hand, as if he was talking to the reporter and the people in the entire venue.

"What is comedy, comedy is to make people laugh, in fact, it is to express a sense of superiority. We laugh when we feel inferior after seeing a person or an event. Simply put, someone is going to be unlucky! ”

Qin Shi stood on the stage and told his views on comedy, and many people present were interested in his unique understanding of comedy and listened with interest.

Every classic comedy work fully shows this, Chaplin's funny, Bean's troubles, Tom's cat who is ravaged by Jerry, Fan Wei who is in a wheelchair and doesn't want to get up, the list goes on.

By the same token, why is the core of humor self-deprecation?

Because self-deprecation is to inspire your sense of superiority with a low profile, so as to make you laugh.

"Every character who makes the audience laugh actually has a tragic core", the story characters in "Charlotte's Troubles" are actually a tragic core, they make the audience laugh, they are used to self-deprecation, and for this self-deprecation, there are a lot of Mr. Zhu's so-called vulgar plots.

But on the other hand, those boring sketches and cross talks in the Spring Festival Gala are all performing with a noble posture, and they are trying to teach the audience the philosophy of life mixed with laughter, which really forces people to change the channel. ”

There was no sound in the venue, except for Qin Shi's voice echoing, there was no other noise.

After listening to Qin Shi's words, many people fell into contemplation, they recalled the comedies they had watched before, and then thought of the plot in "Charlotte's Troubles", and after thinking about it carefully, they found that Qin Shi was right.

"That's the end of the official answer, it's all insomnia nonsense below."

Immediately afterwards, Qin Shi suddenly popped out such a sentence, which made everyone confused, and they didn't know what Qin Shi was doing.

"You see a man proposing on a busy street, getting down on one knee with a rose in his hand. Even if you are an optimist, you will only feel warm and romantic, and you will not laugh.

At this time, the woman suddenly picked up the rose and played it on the man's face, brushed her hand and walked away. You look at his stunned face and laugh heartily. Unexpectedly, the laughter was heard by him, and he rushed towards you in anger, and you immediately panicked. But he fell as he rushed in front of you, and your newly frozen laughter erupted again.

Seeing this, it should not be difficult to find that the generation of laughter is indeed based on the beginning of tragedy.

It's a pity that those excellent comedians have some heart problems because they are too accustomed to belittling themselves, but they have not been understood by the world.

Yes, I actually want to talk more about the nonsensical Zhou Xingxing.

He is my idol, and I hope that one day I will be able to make comedies as wonderful as Mr. Chow. ”

After saying a word, if you write it down with a pen, there will be a lot of words, and after finishing it, it didn't win the applause of the audience, of course, this is not to say that Qin Shi's speech is not exciting enough, it's just that what he said made everyone fall into deep thinking about comedy and forget about applauding.

After listening to Qin Shi's words, everyone suddenly realized that the comedy they liked to watch before was just the self-deprecation of the actors.

The so-called comedy, as Qin Shi said, does have a tragic core, and he is laughing because of "schadenfreude".

Looking at the silence in the venue, Qin Shi felt that the atmosphere was not warm enough.

He convened this celebration party in advance to make trouble, Zhu Zhilong's article blacked his movie so badly, he didn't come with an olive branch today but a guy.

"I think that Mr. Zhu must be a pig, because he doesn't even know what comedy is, so he comes to comment blindly, and even the pig knows that he is stupid and eats hard without speaking, which shows that his consciousness is not as good as a pig."
