"Hahahahaha. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"
In the past two days, the joyful laughter on the set of "Home Alone" has never stopped, and the laughter is louder and crazier than when Chen Shaoyi filmed "Nightclub" last time.
With the filming of Home Alone going well, two Hollywood comedians Joe and Dennis have finally officially returned to the team.
The biggest comedic effect of "Home Alone" is the wonderful drama between the little ghost and the two stupid thieves.
The filming in the past two days is the most exciting part of "Home Alone", the scene where the two stupid thieves are tricked by the little ghost in the villa.
Watching the two stupid thieves being burned, burned, and smashed again and again, falling down again and again, and heroically getting back up again and again, where could the personnel at the shooting scene still hold back, and they all laughed out loud and vented the laughter in their hearts.
If "Nightclub" relied on lines to win the audience's love, then "Home Alone" won by body action language.
In fact, comedy is not very good just by lines, because the customs are different in different places, maybe in my country or region, this line is indeed very funny, very meaningful and meaningful, but in other countries and regions, this line may just be a dispensable dialogue, plus after translation, the artistic conception of some lines has completely changed, and there is no sense of joy at all.
For example, Chinese idioms, Chinese idioms translated into English or other languages, can you imagine that it can still be the original meaning? Not to mention Chinese poetry and songs, after translation, forget it, it is completely ruining Chinese art.
There are also some reasons for allusions, if the audience does not understand the historical allusions, it will not reflect the comedic effect of the lyrics at all. To give a simple example, such as "jealous", do foreigners laugh when they see this line in a Chinese comedy? Or scold the neurotic?
The body movements are different, this is the universal language of the world, maybe there are some differences in body movements in some places, but they are generally the same, especially in the comedic effect.
In the play "Home Alone", the foot slipped on gasoline, was burned bald, and the face was shot indiscriminately, these are all very intuitive comedy body movements, and audiences all over the world can understand the meaning, the visual impact, the brain begins to feedback to the nerves, the nerves pull the facial muscles, and finally, of course, I can't help but laugh.
Hollywood comedies are so popular all over the world, when everyone can understand them, and think those exaggerated body movements are funny, and there are Hollywood movies as a signboard, it is impossible to be unpopular.
Compared with "Nightclub", a comedy that only relies on rich and interesting lines, it is more tragic, and it can only be effective in Chinese-speaking areas, not in other places, and it is not as good as "Modern Bodyguard".
Although "Modern Bodyguard" is worse than "Nightclub" in terms of overall comedy effect, the body movements of the Xu brothers in the play are more abundant, so that it is easier to be liked by foreigners, on the contrary, "Nightclub" is much worse.
This is the reason why Chen Shaoyi's "Nightclub" was not released in the United States and Europe in the end, because the lines in the play that are full of comedy in the eyes of Chinese people are completely incomprehensible to European and American audiences. is like the true lines of the Xu brothers in the play "Nightclub", do people who don't know and are not familiar with them think this line is funny? It's not funny at all.
However, "Nightclub" is still widely popular in Southeast Asian countries, first, the Chinese in these areas are no less than the natives, and second, these areas have long been reduced to the dumping ground of Hong Kong films, as long as the film is popular in Hong Kong, the box office here is absolutely indispensable, and the box office of "Nightclub" will be relatively less. Therefore, the box office of "Nightclub" in the entire foreign city has also achieved more than 40 million Hong Kong dollars, and the overall results are very good, and Chen Shaoyi has earned more than 10 million Hong Kong dollars.
"Joe, thank you for your hard work." Chen Shaoyi said to Qiao.
Joe is a very dedicated Hollywood actor, and he just played the scene where his head is burned with a flamethrower, and a cluster of flames is on his head, and he is thrown headlong into a snowdrift, and his head is raised to become bald.
Originally, there was a more dangerous scene like this, Chen Shaoyi wanted to add flames to the later synthesis, but Qiao didn't agree, thinking that Chen Shaoyi was not good at handling it like this, without a sense of realism, and the comedy effect would be greatly reduced.
In the later stage of "Home Alone", the scene where the little ghost tricks two stupid thieves is done in one go, and the comedy effect has been superimposed, making fans laugh from beginning to end. The expected effect is such that fans can't interrupt the pleasure of watching this wonderful comedy because of some objective factors.
Therefore, Joe finally hopes that this filming is a real scene, not a fake scene, and there must be a real flame on his head.
At this moment, Chen Shaoyi really realized the horror of Hollywood, Hollywood not only has abundant funds, but also has the backing of the world hegemon of the United States, a huge film market, and a group of desperate actors.
With such excellent subjective and objective conditions, how can Hollywood movies not develop rapidly and dominate the world?
In fact, Hong Kong films also have some conditions of Hollywood to a certain extent, especially in the eighties and nineties, the inflow of large stocks of hot money, and the Southeast Asian film market in the back garden also have a group of desperate actors, which has made Hong Kong films develop broadly.
It's a pity that these can't last, with the approach of 97, a large number of Hong Kong tycoons have left Hong Kong, the Hong Kong film industry has been divested too much, Southeast Asian countries have launched their own films one after another, and have been strongly impacted by Hollywood movies, the order of the film industry is messy, and the follow-up actors no longer learn from their predecessors and work hard, but like to go crooked, which has made Hong Kong films gradually lose their due status in the past.
Chen Shaoyi just sighed, he didn't bother to go to the sad spring and autumn again, it was going to rain, his mother was going to get married, and there was a tall man on top of the sky when the sky fell, so why did he care so much.
Hehe, is it really none of Chen Shaoyi's business? Maybe he's the tallest one, we'll see.
"Mr. Director, it's okay, this kind of scene can't be difficult for me." Joe replied.
"Mr. Director, the plot of your script is really good, it has a very comedic effect, and I believe that we American people will like it very much." Dennis praised Chen Shaoyi.
"Mr. Director, Dennis is right, your "Home Alone" will definitely be a success, and I am honored to be able to join Mr. Director's film at the end."
"Haha, hello everyone, I also hope that you two can become Hollywood comedy stars."
"Thank you, Mr. Director, I believe we will all do, we will definitely become Hollywood comedy stars, definitely."
Westerners don't seem to understand the subtlety of Orientals at all, and Qiao directly pocketed Chen Shaoyi's blessings.
This makes Chen Shaoyi even more favorable, and Chen Shaoyi is also a relatively cheerful person with clear love and hate.
"Haha, let's not talk about it, let's continue filming, let this "Home Alone" be released as soon as possible, and let audiences all over the world also feel the charm of "Home Alone"." was provoked by Qiao, and Chen Shaoyi also shouted arrogantly.
"Lao Du, eon, hurry up and continue shooting."
