Kong Lingmei
Yu Shasha
Guo Formaldehyde
In the popular " Happy Wonderful Night " on Tencent Video, three girls, Kong Lingmei, Yu Shasha, and Guo Formaldehyde, form the "Limited Team" "Shaquan Shamei" Made it all the way to the finals. Some people say that among all comedy teams, this group has the strongest "class flavor". They cheated all the way from their first work "Year-End Award" and became the mouthpiece of the workers. In the tenth episode of the program broadcast last Friday, 18-year-old, 30-year-old, and 59-year-old Guo Jialdehyde came together through time and space, impulsive and happy teenagers, confused and confused young and middle-aged people, and casual old naughty boys. In less than 15 minutes Comedy works contain the life of a migrant worker.
In "Happy Wonderful Night", female comedians including "Sha Quan Sha Mei" present a very new look. They have reached the C position and are no longer the vases in comedy movies. They don't need to act old, ugly or fat to make the audience laugh. The pleasant stage allows them to express themselves.
Group
The name "Shaquan Shamei" contains "perfection in everything"
After graduating from the Beijing Film Academy, Yu Shasha acted in comedy movies, TV series, filmed variety shows, and worked as a host. The most famous one is called " "Excellent Lady". Yu Shasha said: "I have done a lot of work before, so people will blur my identity and wonder what she does. Is she a funny short video maker, a host, or an actor? Therefore, in the past two years, I want to be an actor. I have regained my identity and told everyone, 'Yu Shasha is an actor', so we meet again here."
In March of this year, during the preparatory stage of "Happy Wonderful Night", many teams had been formed and started rehearsing, but she was still looking for it. That "she". Until the director told her, "Kong Lingmei is here too."
Kong Lingmei and Yu Shasha have known each other for more than ten years, but they didn't have many interactions before they were cast in "Xiren". Kong Lingmei graduated from the Central Academy of Drama in 2007 and has been acting in dramas and filming. She is also the founder of Lingmei Culture. She also fought for comedy roles for herself, but unfortunately, the directors felt that her image was too serious and cold, and they did not believe that her face could convey a sense of humor. "I actually envy those actors who have a natural sense of comedy in their looks. But I also believe that I can create comedy characters through plot, rhythm and characters." So, Kong Lingmei also came to "Xiren".
After "Sha Mei" formed the group, Guo Jialdehyde also joined the group through an assistant performance. At that time, " Paramount Tonight " was airing. Formaldehyde felt that the format of the program was very new, so he took a few classes, and then turned to the improvisational comedy track.
Three girls got together to form a group. What was the group’s name? "Shark manicure", "delicious casserole", "nothing at home"... The three fell into the pit of homophonic memes and finally chose "Shaquan Shamei". Partly because the name of this group contains the meaning of "perfect" Beautiful meaning.
performing
comedy means constantly overturning and starting over through stage tests. The meaning of
is beautiful, but the creation is very difficult. There is a joke within Xiren that they call the place where they create and perform the show a "comedy prison". The lives of the "inmates" are very "regular." They gather in the afternoon to discuss and rehearse the script, and it ends at two or three at night. From joining the group in March to finishing recording in August, it was like this almost every day. In the creation of
, the biggest difficulty is to think of game points. This is the creation method of sketch comedy. Starting from a starting point, making strange but interesting settings, and then improving it three to four times around the game point. But with an all-girls team, there aren't many game points that can be used. The relationship between the girls is nothing more than teacher-student, mother-daughter, superior and subordinate. The three screenwriters met with the three girls every day and created their first work "Year-End Award" for them.
Before each recording of "Wonderful Night", the program team will arrange about 10 performances with the audience. In the first few performances, many happy people went on stage with only half of the script, and the second half had not been compiled yet; many people could not finish the script; during the performance, when they were inspired, the happy people squatted on the stage to think of funny things. When I come out, I perform directly in front of the audience. When I lose my inspiration, I bow and leave the stage.The staff will sit in the auditorium and record the audience's reaction to each laughter point. If the laughter is loud, it passes the test. If there is no laughter, then this point will be modified. At the end of the day's performance, the staff immediately reported the results to Xiren, who then continued to polish the script...
This kind of performance once made Kong Lingmei very uncomfortable. "I used to do acting training. If a student couldn't memorize the lines and went on stage with the script, I would tell him directly, 'I won't wait for you. Memorize all the lines before talking.' The first time I performed in 'Xingren' I went on stage with the script, and to tell you the truth, my soles were dug out of three rooms and two halls. When I came off the stage, I didn't want to cry, but the tears just burst out. It was a shame, and I will never face it in the future. My student."
Later, she revised the draft every day and performed every day. Kong Lingmei found that she could perform on stage with half a notebook. "Because you find that comedy is about passing such stage tests and constantly starting over. This is a necessary process."
Gaining
A sense of belief is a way to increase comedy skills
Looking back, what is the "comedy prison"? What did you bring to yourself? Yu Shasha said bluntly, "Everyone is lazy, and the 'comedy prison' is restrictive, but it can also stimulate our creative potential. For example, our group's two recent consecutive stages were finalized on the last day and two days. The script just came out."
Guo did not answer directly, "Now when I look back at the works from many years ago, I feel a sense of shame." What made her feel even more deeply was the relationship with "Sha Quan Sha Mei". "The show is almost over and I'm scared now. I'm 96% e-person. When I'm with people, I'll be crazy 'charged' and content. But if I'm alone, I'll always be In the state of 'discharge'."
Kong Lingmei discovered that a sense of belief is a way to increase comedy skills. The audience commented that the work we performed was not a real workplace, but a workplace fairy tale. But why do people empathize with a fairy tale? It's because you are very serious and confident when performing, making the audience believe that this is true. When they believe you and bring themselves into the story, they will have empathy for your work.
made 6 comedies in half a year, is it worth it? Kong Lingmei replied: "It's so worth it. In the past six months, we have produced several works. Although they have only been performed once, the images left behind can be watched infinitely. It will be difficult for us to leave this stage and switch to TV series and movies. I find 10 to 15 minutes, all of which are your shots, so I feel like I've earned it." She especially wants more actors, dramatists, or people who love performances to come to "Welcome and Wonderful Night" and "come and experience it." , I will definitely fall in love with the creative atmosphere here, which is no less rewarding than filming.
