Is Jia Bing funny?
There have been disagreements on this point on the Internet.
After winning three consecutive championships in "Swordsman", "Legend of Laughter" and "Comedian 4" from 2016 to 2018, Jia Bing became famous and officially entered the public eye.
There have always been two questions surrounding Jia Bing:
1. Is Jia Bing’s cooking delicious?
There is a famous chef Huang Lei in the entertainment industry, and Jia Bing often shows off his cooking skills after his debut.
Which one of them is true and which one is false?
This can be seen in Shen Teng.
When eating Huang Lei's food, Shen Teng complained that "everything is good, but everything is loose", but when eating Jia Bing's food, Shen Teng could only shut up and cook, and the people who ate it were upset.
is really good at cooking.
Next is the second point:
Is Jia Bing funny?
Compared with those who came from drama, Jia Bing, who was born in acrobatics, focuses on the body expression, and the comedy effect is mostly dependent on the actor's performance state.
Or to put it more arbitrarily, Jia Bing pays more attention to being funny rather than telling jokes.
This has led to different opinions about Jia Bing's comedy ability.
Some people think this trick is unique.
Some people look down upon him and think he is far different from Shen Teng.
As Jia Bing's fame grows, more and more resources are tilted towards him, and Jia Bing gets more opportunities. Then the third question also surfaces -
Can Jia Bing be able to handle the box office?
as of now.
Shen Teng's "Catch a Baby" is still in theaters. Four days ago, Shen Teng's total box office exceeded 35 billion, ranking first in film history.
Jia Bing, who is also a comedian, also appeared in this movie. After all, his box office has reached 11.3 billion.
However, this is just a flashy illusion based on loose calculations.
If you take a closer look at Jia Bing's works column, you will find that most of these box office data come from the imaginary numbers of the third and fourth supporting actors, and most of his starring works have fallen into disuse and can only be shown on the Internet.
Among the tens of billions of box office, "Flying Life 2", "Hello Brother" and "Keep You Safe" accounted for 70%, but Jia Bing was just a supporting role.
And the movies he starred in, such as "Let's Play Soccer" and "Dad Is an Alien", are a big deal, let alone over 100 million, even 10 million is a big hurdle.
As of now, there is only one blockbuster movie starring Jia Bing.
"Thelma and Louise" was released on May 1 this year.
This movie has a cumulative box office of 780 million, and Jia Bing is the first starring role.
However, many media said that the reason why this film became a hit was because Xiao Shenyang, Yu Yang, and Dong Baoshi also added a lot to the film. In addition, the schedule was very good, and all the big bad movies released at the same time made it stand out. .
If you don’t believe me, take a look.
"Thelma and Louise" hit a box office of 780 million. It stands to reason that Jia Bing's strength has been recognized.
But why is it that his next movie, which obviously won the Dragon Ball, was quietly shown on the Internet for free?
- "Unknown Fire"
"Unknown Fire" is the tenth movie that Jia Bing has participated in this year, and it is also the second starring movie.
There is very little behind-the-scenes information about this film, and even the director and screenwriter cannot find this person on the official website.
But the cast of this film is very strong.
not only stars Jia Bing and Zuo Xiaoqing, but also joins Li Xirui, Feng Lei, Song Xiaofeng, and Liu Hua, and the producer is such a big shot as Han Sanye.
This lineup is truly theater-level!
And this film did win the Dragon Award. The title of
shows that the film's Dragon Label year is 2023. It got the Dragon Label very early, but it never entered the publicity until it suddenly went online yesterday.
A movie has obviously won the Dragon Award, why did it choose to broadcast it for free on the Internet? After reading
, I suddenly realized it.
It’s not that the film crew doesn’t want to make money, it’s because they are self-aware!
Jia Bing’s middle-aged self-impressions
Zhao Benshan said that he does not like to educate people through sketches.
His apprentice Xiao Shenyang also said that the current sketches all have happy beginnings and tragic endings. He didn't like them very much and simply gave up the sketches.
Today, with Shen Teng carrying the banner of comedy, the market has gradually realized that while exporting values, the most basic thing is to make the audience laugh.
It’s a comedy movie. If you don’t make it funny, it’s your original sin, let alone if you want to educate people.
And Jia Bing's "Unknown Fire" is a perfect negative example.
The story of the movie is very simple.
Jia Bing plays the middle-aged "Xue Ming".
He is uneducated and lazy. He runs a restaurant but hangs out in a mahjong parlor all day long. He is a bad gambler and has a lot of debt. He is a well-known bad guy in the neighborhood.
His son doesn't like him, and his wife wants to divorce him. He relies on drinking to numb himself and escape from life all day long.
One day, drunk Xue Ming closed his shop and went home, when a fire broke out in an Internet cafe he passed.
He stopped and looked at the door for a while, and found someone calling his son's name.
Eager to save his son, he rushed into the fire scene without hesitation.
However, under the influence of the fermentation of alcohol and the severe environment of the fire, Xue Ming soon fell into coma and lost this memory.
When he woke up, he was already lying in the hospital.
He casually picked up a piece of takeout clothing next to him and put it on. As soon as he opened the door, he was blocked by reporters.
The reporter recognized this takeout suit and kept saying that Xue Ming was a hero for rescuing 6 people from the fire.
The whole city was celebrating for a while, congratulating the birth of the hero.
Xue Ming was startled by the sudden surprise.
He accepted a large amount of donations and business cooperation in a trance. With the help of a marketing company, he became an out-and-out internet celebrity, and his relationship with his wife and son also eased.
But he was still not sure whether he was the one who rescued 6 people that night.
In the end, Xue Ming couldn't bear it anymore and admitted that he was not a fire-fighting hero.
The hero is a delivery boy who is still unconscious in the hospital, but he only saved one person.
As a result, public opinion exploded instantly, and Xue Ming turned from a hero to a liar.
The plot of the movie is very simple. It is even said to be similar to "Keep You Safe" starring Dapeng. It also tells the story of an ordinary person's process of being misunderstood by society and then being accepted.
However, compared to the wonderful script of "Keep You Safe", "Unknown Fire" is simply mediocre to the point of being unremarkable.
The temperament presented by the entire movie is completely like a "Spring Festival Gala sketch".
From Jia Bing's middle-aged embarrassment, to personal struggles, and finally being misunderstood by society, there is an inexplicable bitterness in everything, just like chopping onions in front of your eyes, doing everything possible to make you cry.
And the most terrible thing is, this movie is not funny!
Facts have proved that Jia Bing will never be Shen Teng
This film is positioned as a "family comedy".
But the movie has a lot of baggage. It can only be said that it doesn’t have much baggage. The quality is ridiculously poor.
It’s been ten minutes since the show started, and all I heard was Jia Bing say: “If you buy crabs, I’ll give you a loan to buy them.” This kind of casual language comes with baggage.
later turned into a completely miserable drama, even abandoning basic logic just to cry.
For example, the wife of a delivery boy.
Although Jia Bing is a fake hero, he still donated 200,000 yuan to the delivery boy and was still the benefactor who saved the delivery boy.
But after Jia Bing's identity was exposed, his wife not only did not thank him, but slapped him in the mouth in front of the media and returned all the money.
No, at least she is your husband’s benefactor, and at least she donated 200,000 yuan.
What is the reason why you hate him?
is purely bitter for the sake of being bitter and tear-jerking. It feels like a domestic rural drama about 2000.
And the fundamental reason for its existence is Jia Bing's self-movation.
Facts have proved that Jia Bing, who was born in sketches, still can't abandon the set of "happy beginnings and tragic endings".
From "Dad Is an Alien" and "Let's Play Football" to this "Unknown Fire", Jia Bing has always wanted to present an inspirational and warm atmosphere to move himself and the audience, while comedy is secondary. .
This is not a kitsch.
He is paranoid that comedy must make people cry to be advanced.
doesn’t know that the most basic thing about comedy is to make people laugh.
As a comedian, Shen Teng understands that comedy must put "joy" first.
No matter how controversial the ideology of "Charlotte Trouble", "The Richest Man in Xihong City" or this "Catch a Baby" is, the audience's minimum consensus is that this movie is really funny and can really laugh. Make a sound.
On the other hand, Jia Bing's movie is tear-jerking, painful, and makes the audience cry. Although the purpose is noble, it goes in the opposite direction and does not look like a comedy at all.
Jia Bing should remember Zhao Benshan’s words.
At least make the audience laugh before making them cry.
