Chapter 25: Use funny dialogue to amuse passers-by
This kind of practice of inserting funny short films from time to time in feature films is not original to "My Illustrated Book", many programs have it.
This is supposed to be an art form that originated from the book, Kyogen and Noh play.
Noh is a classical form of drama, while Kyogen is a bit like a cross talk sketch, a burlesque performance.
Kyogen performances are usually interspersed with Noh repertoire, and are a kind of improvised comedy.
In the initial planning of the variety show "My Illustrated Guide", this method was also adopted, and funny short films were inserted in the program.
Sometimes it's Kyogen performances, sometimes it's comedy sketches, and one or three of these short clips are often interspersed in one episode. It mainly depends on the length of the formal content, and if the formal content is less, more such short films will be made to supplement it.
Truth be told, however, the audience doesn't seem to be very interested in these short films.
Kei Fujiwara has also watched their show, and these short films are as boring as the Spring Festival Gala sketches, all of them are outdated and embarrassing old jokes, and dogs don't watch them.
"Fujiwara, why don't you take care of this short film?" Jin Mu Longyi poured himself a glass of beer and said.
"Jin Mujun, he is still a newcomer, don't embarrass him." An AP said, but he glanced at Kei Fujiwara, "But Fujiwara, I think you're quite capable, obviously you're a newcomer, it's weird......"
"Maybe it's because I used to participate in ministry activities a lot." Kei Fujiwara said, "I also learned a lot from my seniors. ”
"I'm really good at talking, come on, have a cheesecake."
"Mr. Kaneki, leave that short film to me, please tell the producer Kobayashi in advance."
"Well, okay...... Huh? Kaneki Ryuichi glanced up at Kei Fujiwara, "Are you serious?" ”
Fujiwara Kei nodded: "Didn't Mr. Kaneki say that he wanted to give it to me?" ”
"I'm just talking...... But it's not impossible...... "Because of this short film, you just need to contact the artists and let them perform in front of the camera, and there is no difficulty in the work." The program team didn't take this to heart either, so it's not a big deal to hand it over to a newcomer.
"Alright then, I'll talk to Mr. Kobayashi tomorrow. Even if it's just a short film, you have to shoot it carefully, even if it's a small thing to do a show, you can't be fooled. ”
Jin Mulong raised his wine glass and said, this kind of words came from the mouth of his old salted fish, which was particularly funny.
Jin Mu Ryuichi is not young this year, in his thirties, but he still works in a production company, and he has not obtained a long-term contract from the TV station's production bureau, so it is estimated that his ability is a hard injury.
However, people have never been depressed because of this, and they have made up their minds to hug them to death on the big tree of high skill.
Fujiwara's olfactory system was almost paralyzed by the smell of alcohol that permeated the banquet, so the gang was almost drunk, and they got up and left one by one, and Fujiwara Kei walked home.
The next day, Kei Fujiwara came to Shuzo Kobayashi's office.
Shuzo Kobayashi sat at his desk and asked, "Fujiwara-kun, I heard Kaneki-kun say that you want to be in charge of the shooting of the short film column?" ”
"Yes, I'm a newcomer, but I feel like I can do this job well."
Shuzo Kobayashi nodded with satisfaction, he actually admired Kei Fujiwara. Because compared to other young people, this person has the courage to pat his chest and promise.
"Okay, then leave it to you, the shooting of the short film is not very difficult, you just need to choose the script and the performers. Under normal circumstances, artists know what to act, and they don't have to worry too much. ”
"Mr. Kobayashi, do you have to act in Kyogen and sketches?" Kei Fujiwara asked suddenly.
"Huh?" Kobayashi Shuzo glanced at him, "Then what do you want to play?" ”
"I'm going to create a script for a comedy short film by myself, and the length will be the same, and a short film will only be about five minutes."
"Do you want to write it yourself?" Kobayashi Shuzo was a little surprised, you know, comedy is difficult to create, especially a comedy with a short length, it has to make people laugh in five minutes, make people feel good, and the laughter must be very dense, and the creation of baggage depends on inspiration very much.
And some of the sketches or kyogen that were played before, most of them were not ready-made, but already had ready-made mature scripts, and let the artists perform, and they would shoot and edit.
Thinking about the script is too troublesome and difficult.
"Yes." Kei Fujiwara replied.
"Hmm...... It's not impossible, but it's hard to write this kind of comedy script, so don't be careless just because it's a short film...... What is it? ”
Kei Fujiwara put a notebook on the table, pushed it in front of Shuzo Kobayashi, and said:
"It's a street sketch I've written, you can take a look at it."
"Street sketch, what do you mean? I've never heard of it. Kobayashi Shuzo picked up the notebook and looked at it, and found that the notebook was full of dialogues.
"It's my own name, and it's similar to a spoof, which makes the actor deliberately say some hilarious and ridiculous dialogue in front of passers-by, and then shoot it with a hidden camera." Kei Fujiwara explains, "The show is not only about the actors' performances and dialogues, but also about the reactions of passers-by. ”
Kobayashi Shuzo looked at the dialogue lines in the notebook, and originally thought it was nothing, but when he heard Fujiwara Kei's description and imagined that scene, he suddenly felt that the script in his hand became interesting.
"This ...... Very interesting. Kobayashi Shuzo looked at the script in his hand, his eyes lit up, and asked, "Fujiwara-kun, did you come up with it yourself?" ”
"Yes." Fujiwara Kei said shamelessly, anyway, what's in my head is mine.
Shuzo Kobayashi glanced at the contents of the notebook again, suddenly smiled, and returned the notebook to Kei Fujiwara, with a lot of appreciation in his tone.
"It's interesting, let's do it." Kobayashi Shuzo said, "But there won't be a lot of money, so if you want to hire an artist, don't invite too expensive." ”
"I know, don't worry."
Kei Fujiwara thought to himself: How much can it cost to shoot this thing? On the contrary, when I used to shoot Kyogen, I had to hire a Kyogen master, which was a big expense.
Fujiwara immediately contacted the cameraman, as well as an assistant producer, who were also on the staff in charge of the film.
First things first, look for actors.
Kei Fujiwara, a street parody like this, was seen in the works filmed by several Korean Internet celebrities in his previous life, and the script was of high quality, the laughter was very dense, and it received a lot of hits on the Internet.
I have to say that the Internet era is indeed the trend of the times, and the wisdom of the people has directly crushed the elites of some TV stations to the point that there is no scum left. For many grassroots influencers to enter the public eye, they must be eye-catching enough.
Although the actor who is responsible for reading the lines and performing does not need to be too famous, he must have line skills, and he must be natural, there is no trace of deliberate performance, at least he can't laugh.
There are also passers-by who are responsible for listening to funny conversations, which do not necessarily have to be real passers-by, but can also be passer-by actors.
In this type of funny video, the reaction of passers-by is also crucial, acting as a catalyst. Just like the canned laughter in many funny variety shows, some passers-by are also needed to set off the atmosphere.
Of course, it would be better if the passerby was a beauty.
Guided by an AP, Kei Fujiwara went to Fukuyamadai again, intending to select from the cast profiles of the production bureau.
