Chapter 206: Master of Comedy

It's easy to become a comedian, as long as the performance is flashy enough.

But if you want to be a good comedian, or even become the king of comedy, it's very difficult.

Looking at Xuanyuan Country, a good comedian is rare.

This is true even in that world.

First of all, a comedian must have good qualifications and talent, in the most rough way, that is, he must have a funny face, in addition to acting skills and a sense of comedy.

Another important point is that he has to be willing to act in comedy, you know, comedy is very tiring and sad.

That's right, comedy that makes people laugh is actually sad at its core.

Therefore, many good comedians are not necessarily people who giggle all day long in life.

For example, Xing Ye, such as Xu Zheng, they are all very serious, and even Xing Ye himself is a taciturn person.

The so-called tragic core of comedy, comedy is often due to the fact that a certain character himself is very low.

For example, he is incompetent, he has no talent, he is ugly, hypocritical, he yearns for nobility but comes from a low background.

For example, a fake person should pretend to be true, a hypocritical person should pretend to be very sincere, a poor person should pretend that he is a rich second generation, a relatively stupid person should pretend that he is very smart, and a very ugly person thinks he is very beautiful.

It was at this time that the comedic effect came into being.

This is like the two of them often use people's shortcomings to have a funny effect, and it is also like Ou Di's height and Qian Feng's big head in "Everyday Upward".

That is to say, when each of us watches comedy, it is often due to this gap. This gap from low to high, when this low wants to reach high and can't reach it, it produces comedy.

So most of us when we watch comedy. In fact, it is this gap, the gap from low to high.

So comedians in order to play this well. He has to behave unkempt, vulgar, unscrupulous, hypocritical in his heart, exaggerated performances, etc., and even go crazy.

That is to say, he has to complete the process of comedic characters from low to high by self-ugliness and dwarfing, so as to bring happiness to everyone.

When we look at Mr. Bean's stupid state, the stupid state, we subconsciously have an advantage:

I couldn't have been as stupid as he was, and then gain a sense of superiority.

The reason why comedy attracts people is that when we watch comedy, we will laugh and satirize, and feel happy because you have a sense of superiority.

So comedy must have a process from low to high, and the low side is played by comedians, who are essentially a tragedy.

If there is no tragic element, it will not give birth to comedy, so this is the biggest difference between comedy and farce:

Comedy itself is serious, it is not a mere exaggeration of farce.

The reason why there is comedy is that there is tragedy, and it is born when two complement each other. So we watch high-grade comedies where you laugh and laugh and maybe shed tears, which will achieve such an effect.

In comedy effect, it is difficult to play the point of pretending to be stupid, and many professional actors can play anything well. But as long as you pretend to be stupid, it doesn't look like it, and the audience thinks that this person is not really stupid but pretending, then the comedic effect will be gone.

Only a handful of actors can perform really silly effects. For example, Stephen Chow.

Secondly, it's not enough to be stupid. The appearance must also be likable and "look silly" at the same time.

If this is not the case, the audience will not immediately find this male protagonist a little funny after the character appears. This film should be somewhat interesting, which is fatal for comedy.

There are even fewer actors who meet this condition, and most actors can only meet one of the requirements, the likable ones are not stupid, the stupid ones are not likable, and the audience doesn't feel it after watching it.

So it's not unreasonable for Xing Ye to stand out.

Of course, there is also a very important point, comedy, which is very restrictive.

Once a certain funny label is branded in the minds of the audience, and you act in other film and television dramas, it is easy to skip the drama.

is like Bai Ke in "Never Expected", that kind of sling image is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, how can this make Gao rich and handsome, and counterattack Bai Fumei to the peak of life.

In "Love Apartment", Sun Yizhou, even if he is acting seriously and seriously, he is still jumping on Lu Xiaobu when he watches it.

Restricting the way of playing, for an actor, it is taboo to do this.

He can't frame himself in a certain genre all the time, unless you're really the best in the genre.

Most actors hope to broaden their acting paths, whether in terms of artistic pursuits or realistic economic considerations, just like Ye Chen, who now wants to broaden their acting paths.

You have to be a national comedian, which means that you can only pounce on one drama for decades.

And comedies tend to be relatively simple and don't overlap with other genres.

In that world, looking at the Chinese-speaking circle, there are only a handful of good comedians, the peak of Xing Ye's nonsense, Uncle Ge's relaxation is natural, and Xu Zheng's serious embarrassment is also.

Of course, there are Wu Mengda, Zhang Weijian, and Huang Bo, all of whom can be regarded as good comedians.

Ye Chen thought about it and felt that he was still under a lot of pressure.

But thinking that he was only trying for the first time, it was natural that he couldn't reach the comedic height of these people, so he didn't put too much pressure on himself.

However, this night, Ye Chen was also thinking about how to act tomorrow, and he fell asleep very late

Speaking of which, being an actor can be regarded as a hard profession, especially in this kind of crew that is filming in a hurry.

At five o'clock in the morning, Ye Chen's mobile phone rang.

This look, it is the crew urging filming.

Although he fell asleep late yesterday and is still in a half-asleep state, Ye Chen still has to control himself to get up.

Getting off the bed, Ye Chen walked straight to the faucet and unscrewed it, first washed his face to make himself sober, and then returned to the bed to put on his shoes and change clothes.

Ye Chen was a little puzzled, you said that this crew, for this drama, the money to build a dart game in Lijiang has been paid, this can be regarded as a local tyrant.

Why is the progress of filming so fast.

Although Ye Chen also knew that if he was delayed for one day, the crew's funds would be tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands more.

When Ye Chen came to the set in no hurry, well, those guys had already arrived.

Ye Chen glanced at Li Qian and said:

"You're all up so early."

This girl is also a little sleepy:

"There's no way, we're all used to being exploited, otherwise the crew has been urging it, and it is said that this drama wants to be broadcast during the Chinese New Year."

Ye Chen sympathized with this group of guys, and after thinking about it, he missed the crew of "Love Story in Beijing" a little.

The filming progress over there is called a good tour.

Ye Chen was filming over there, and he didn't get up before half past seven. (To be continued......)
