What is comedy?
Many viewers feel that the tragedy is torn into pieces for the audience to see, looking at the tragedy from another dimension, and tasting the five flavors of life through joy.
Looking at comedians in the film industry, they all have three qualities:
First, they all have rich experience and unique insights into the roles they play. They can turn tragedy into comedy and make the audience feel to reality.
Secondly, their performance is very tense. Not only can they go out of their way, but they can also take it back at critical moments, giving a layered performance.
Thirdly, they all have strong box office appeal, and one comedy will be a hit.
Combining these three characteristics, there are currently three people who can be called qualified comedians:
Xu Guanwen, Stephen Chow, Shen Teng.
Needless to say, the first two are already recognized comedy masters, but Shen Teng has always been questioned.
I have to admit that Shen Teng is a "box office" reassurance in the domestic comedy industry.
" Walking Alone on the Moon " 3.103 billion, "Hello, Li Huanying" 5.356 billion, " The Richest Man in Xihong City " 2.548 billion, " Shy Iron Fist " 2.213 billion, " Speeding Life " 1.728 billion, " Charlotte Troubles " 1.448 billion....
However, in the past, everyone thought that he could just make the audience laugh.
As time went by, for some unknown reason, some people began to question him.
" Catch the Baby " is another masterpiece of the "Shen Ma" combination.
easily earned a box office of 1.5 billion in just 7 days after its release.
However, at this time, some directors and audiences questioned it, thinking that the content of "Catching Dolls" was vulgar and nutritious.
I wonât comment too much on this.
However, CCTV canât stand it anymore.
After the movie box office reached 1 billion, he published an article to support "Catch a Baby".
So, judging from the box office alone, Shen Teng has created another hit.
However, for domestic comedies, Shen Teng and his comedies have been immersed in it for a long time. The last one was "The Richest Man in Xihong City".
At a time when everyone is shouting that "the film market is deserted", his "comeback" at this time is obviously a last-ditch effort.
What is the magic power of "Catch a Baby"?
Shen Tengâs comedy talent is something that most people canât learn.
felt cheap in "Charlotte Troubles";
felt cowardly in "The Shameful Iron Fist";
felt cowardly in "The Richest Man in Xihong City".
It is no exaggeration to say that the whole body is full of drama.
In my opinion, the laughter created by Shen Teng is not the kind of laughter that is full of laughter and grinning.
Instead, he follows the rhythm of the story, and the expressions, actions, and even lines naturally reveal the kind of laughter that cannot be restrained.
Moreover, Shen Teng is very good at playing losers, especially those who get rich overnight.
It is clear that is full of embarrassments, but it still has to put on a self-deprecating look without losing embarrassment, and finally reaches reconciliation.
This sense of contrast is a different scene in "Catch a Baby". In the
film, he is no longer a small person who got rich overnight, but a real rich man.
But for the sake of his children's education, he had to move into a shabby house, put on shabby clothes, and seriously began to pretend to be poor.
Compared with Wang Duoyu, who was born at the bottom and got rich suddenly, Ma Chenggang (played by Shen Teng) has a steady attitude all over his body.
For example, when faced with doubts, he is no longer eager to use money to break through, but confidently uses actions to prove it.
His joy did not come from the feeling of success, but from the transition from confidence at the beginning to frustration at the end of .
In "The Richest Man in Xihong City", money seems to be omnipotent. All the problems of King Duoyu can be solved with money, and it is fun from beginning to end.
In "Catch a Baby", money is not everything, because educating children cannot be controlled by money, and it may even be counterproductive.
The clever thing about "Catch a Baby" is that he uses comedy to tell an established fact:
the protagonists are rich, but they are in a dilemma in educating their children and are anxious about it every day.
This kind of laughter makes the audience laugh and feel that it is reasonable at the same time.
In fact, this is what makes "Catch a Baby" unique.
"The Richest Man in Xihong City" uses a lot of pen and ink to infinitely magnify the power of money, so that it creates an absurd dream that ordinary people can perceive.
However, "Catch a Baby" uses the concept of "money is not everything" to bring comedy back to reality and shatter all previous dreams.
It is true that Shen Teng is already the leading comedian in China.
At a time when everyone is lamenting the winter of film and television, he alone can drive the entire market, and box office is his proudest achievement.
The controversy behind Shen Teng is always endless.
I donât know if itâs out of jealousy, or because the comedy itself isnât deep enough, or for other reasons.
Doesnât Shen Teng deserve to be a good comedian?
is currently certain that he does have the ability to make many viewers laugh.
