On March 23, in the latest episode of "Infinite Transcendence Class" broadcast on Zhejiang Satellite TV, a group of producers and a group of actors went to shoot Stephen Chow's " Tang Bo Hu Dien Qiuxiang ". The work that came out had no laughs at all. This in the end is why? Is it because the acting skills of the actors are not good enough, or is it that these producers are just follow-up actors and lack the ability?
Logically speaking, it is very simple to restore a scene. This simplicity manifests itself in many aspects. First of all, at the script level, there is no need to create it, just use it directly. Secondly, in terms of lens language, there is no need for the director’s original creation, it can be reproduced directly according to the original appearance. Third, in terms of photography, lighting, etc., there is no difficulty at all. It’s just a matter of following the gourd.
To restore a scene, the only thing that is difficult may be the actor's performance. why? Because the script, director's storyboards, and lighting and camera arrangements can all be fixed and repeated, only the actors' performances are live. The past is the past, and it is impossible to recreate it. Therefore, there is a saying in the middle school "Ideology and Morality" that no one can enter the same river twice.
In "Infinite Transcendence Class", this group of "talented" instructors and producers are going to remake Stephen Chow's "Tang Bo Hu Spots the Fragrance of Autumn". But as soon as they started, they faced huge difficulties-it took a long time to shoot, and they couldn't even reproduce the first shot. It seemed like a simple thing at first, but what got stuck? On the surface, it is a performance by the actors. This group of instructors believed that this group of actors did not have a sense of comedy and could not reproduce the comedy acting talents of those actors back then.
Therefore, in subsequent performances, the director team lowered their requirements. At the same time, the instructor Hao Lei personally went into battle to redesign the performance content for this group of actors, trying to get some laughs. For example, asking the person who vomits blood to vomit repeatedly is different from Stephen Chow's "Tang Bohu Spots Autumn Fragrance". After a lot of redesign, this scene was finally completed.
However, after it is completed and the film is played, the audience should be very embarrassed. why? Because this clip is not funny. Originally, it should be very funny to restore Stephen Chow's comedy scenes. However, the final effect of the film was that not a single laugh was lost, and the whole process was embarrassing. Is this really just a problem for the actors?
As the saying goes, the actors' performances are instantaneous. Even if Stephen Chow were asked to restore his classic moments, he would not be able to complete it. Yuan Qiongdan also mentioned this concept at the scene of "Infinite Transcendence Class", but did not focus on it. It is wrong from the source to ask young actors to complete this kind of momentary performance that is frozen into an image. No one can recreate the original plot of a movie. There is nothing we can do if we let the actors from the original film come.
Therefore, this is a creative failure on the part of the "Infinite Transcendence" program team, especially the director team. Or maybe that’s just what makes them smart. This variety show gives people the impression that it uses familiar scenes to embarrass these actors and then makes them show their cowardice, thereby giving the audience a sense of joy in criticizing these actors for their poor acting skills. For example, let's take a look at Gao Haining, who was praised infinitely in "Infinite Transcendence Class". The gap between the Mrs. Hua she appeared in and the original version of "Tang Bohu Spots Autumn Fragrance" is so obvious!
Gao Haining, who has been praised endlessly, is his acting skills good? Obviously compared with the original version, it is far different. Gao Haining's Mrs. Hua doesn't have any smile at all. It can even be said that this is a typical facial paralysis performance. Understand this, and then look at who is being praised or trampled on in "Infinite Class", it is actually just a script, done deliberately, and it is inevitable for a reality show.
At this point, we don’t need to blame this group of actors who really have no acting skills. Instead, we should study the root of the problem. The group of instructors and producers who were endlessly touted by "Infinite Transcendence Class" are the ones who shot and restored "Tang Bo Hu Spots Autumn Fragrance" ? What's the point of the joke? What about the rhythm of the lens language? A group of mentors are touted to be amazing, but what they created is not funny. Isn’t it too funny? The clips that
restored from the original movie ended up being of very low quality. Who should really be blamed? I believe that whoever directs is responsible. This group of instructors, one after another, all think that they have a clear understanding, they all point fingers, they all go up to direct the actors, they all regard themselves as mentors in the industry, and they even feel that they are masters and masters of Xingxiu. Immortal. In the scenes of "Infinite Transcendence Class", the audience can see that the unknown young director has been ignored by this group of mentors.
The final juncture is that this scene is chaotic and has no basic shot rhythm. This time it’s not funny, it’s ugly. The problem lies with these instructors. They shut up and give the right to speak to the real director, so that they can make a passable show. Otherwise, it's just this messy look. At this point, this is not a tribute, this is a continuation of the situation and a waste of Stephen Chow's comedy moments. (Text/Ma Qingyun)
