"My happiness is back"


"Er Xi Chong!" "The second season (hereinafter referred to as "Er Xi") not only continued the level of the previous season, but also brought splendid and diverse viewpoints.


Mi Wei created Yixi last year. In the industry sense, it has built a rare platform to showcase the diverse styles of Chinese comedy and deliver a new generation of comedians to the market. At the audience level, the show has become a new "source of happiness" that relieves the anxiety of the masses.


"Er Xi" retains many features of the previous season, and there are more works that take care of the daily life of ordinary people, such as the slot of the food deliveryman, the emo forced to work overtime on the birthday night, the collapse of the frequent disconnection of the online office When integrated into the creation, the jokes wrapped in the tiny details of life can almost make any audience smile. Among the 6 works of



that appeared in the first issue, 3 got over 10,000 audience scores and 4 got direct promotion from the instructor. The double recognition at both the public and professional levels shows that "Er Xi" has adhered to the IP and created pure happiness. He also found a comedy methodology that takes into account both artistic expression and public aesthetics.


digs jokes from the daily fireworks


"Er Xi" has steadily caught the expectations of the masses.


You must know that last year's "Yixi" was amazing enough. It subverted the past party-style Chinese comedy and created "This Killer is Not Cold" and "Father's Funeral". New and new comedians such as Hao Shichengshuang and the runner-up of Chasing Dreams, who are popularly sought after by us, have changed people's traditional perception of Chinese comedy.


What Erxi faces is an innovation problem.


When I saw "Vulnerability in the Darkness", which delicately portrayed the sadness of a migrant worker who was forced to work overtime on his birthday night and still had to support himself, Rhino-kun, who was laughing and crying, unconsciously recited in his heart - "This season is stable" .



As workers, who has never emo at a certain overtime night, it can be said that "Vulnerability in the Night" accurately captures the most common and unforgettable resonance emotions encountered by the general public. Too many people learn from that vulnerability. Guo Ge, who was sensitive and pretended to be optimistic, saw himself.


"Breakthrough" ostensibly tells an absurd story of delivering a gun to agent , but it actually simulates the take-out ordering scene that everyone encounters today. Calling and claiming to have entered the elevator is actually far away, making trouble with you, but silently helping you take the garbage downstairs. The cute deliveryman can be said to be an excellent comedy material.


"Tiger Father No Dog Son" also simulates some life scenes that resonate quite a bit. In this story of a homeroom teacher visiting a strange parent, you will see the class teacher covering his mouth and stealing instant noodles, students frantically answering the teacher's words, and the head teacher whispering Standing in front of the window and looking at the classic scenes. I have to sigh, it turns out that everyone had the same childhood.



Comedy is a flower of optimism from a sad life.


Li Doudou's one-man show "Goodbye", in just 10 minutes, deduces the complex psychology of a girl who has just lost love, is fragile and tangled but pretends to be strong. Apart from hilarious laughter, audiences who have had similar experience of broken love will surely get some The power of relief.


"Rehearsal Crazy Cloud》The way to poke your resonance is even more direct. The network delays, mike silence, harsh whistling and other bad things you encountered when working online were presented one by one in a visual way by the three actors, taking care of and inspiring the migrant workers. Facing the struggles of life bravely, a small incision in life actually gave birth to a passionate and inspiring passion.



Ma Dong said that "the greatest virtue of comedy is that you tell your own story, but you are moved or seen by others", the works of "Er Xi" this season are largely based on overtime emo, broken love, and online office. Waiting for the little things of fireworks to make questions, while making you laugh, it also healed you by the way, and realized the "double happiness" of another dimension.


"Comedy Lab" reworked


"Er Xi" is still doing comedy experiments.


Last year, Mr. Rhino once put forward the point of view that "The Annual Comedy Contest is a multi-comedy laboratory" in an old article, and in the many works of "Er Xi", we will find that Mi Wei, who has always focused on content creativity, has not yet Stop exploring the diverse possibilities of Chinese comedy. On the one hand,


makes a big fuss about audiovisual elements.


For example, at the end of "Rehearsal Crazy Cloud", the three actors suddenly sang rap and danced along with the sound effects of the online conference app. The brothers sang their encouragement for 30+ lives into the rap lyrics. It has achieved a performance effect that can be called "exploding the field". Adding the rap element to the creative arrangement is the key to this work's final score (12200/12900) in the first phase.



and from the audition video of the show, we can also see that comedians from all walks of life have also tried experimental comedy elements such as fast cross-dressing, folk dance, rap, battle, and somersault battle, which further enriched the audio-visual experience of the Chinese comedy stage. Rhino is looking forward to seeing these visual works in the future.


on the other hand continues to develop niche comedy genres.


Last year, "Yixi" successfully introduced sketches, mancai, and other comedy forms that were not well known to the public in the past, allowing everyone to appreciate the charm of niche comedies. ), one-man show and other niche comedies have moved to the mainstream stage.


For example, "The National Games", which was the first time that a black drama was put on the stage, used a method that violated expectations to transform well-known sports movements into small daily things, such as fencing movements into nucleic acid mutual testing, gymnastics movements into stretching Face to face, the unexpected creative reversal conquered the audience who had not seen the dark drama. In the



program, Mr. Aqiu was introduced by cue to introduce the definition of black drama (that is, an ultra-short comedy form that only creates one burden at a time). It turns out that this type of comedy that the audience is not familiar with is quite common in foreign theaters. In terms of industry value, "Er Xi" plays the role of the spreader of niche comedies in China to some extent.


Li Doudou's "Goodbye" is a typical one-man show, because it requires one person to complete a large number of abstract psychological images on stage, and the one-man show is a test of the actor's sense of belief and control. However, after watching this "Goodbye" that triggered the deep resonance of the lovelorn group, I am afraid that many audiences will fall in love with the comedy form of one-man show.


As a platform for all kinds of comedies to exert their strengths, "Er Xi" took over the previous season and put together more new comedy jobs. This rare "comedy laboratory" in the Chinese comedy world will further expand the expression and stage boundaries of Chinese comedy.


25 group gratifying relay spread happy


"Er Xi" has discovered a lot of lovely comedians.


helped mid-waist actors in the film and television industry improve their professional conditions, which was a big surprise brought to us by "Yixi" last year. For example, Wang Hao and Shi Ce seamlessly received the TV series " Twenty Do Not Confused 2" during the finals of the show The performance invitation of "Hao Shi Cheng Shuang" successfully continued the after-sales business work of "Hao Shi Cheng Shuang".


and "Er Xi" let us see a lot of potential good actors.


is a veteran actor who has accumulated a lot of hairstyles.


For example, Zhang Weiyi (34 years old), Zuo Lingfeng, (31 years old), Liu Tong (32 years old) of "Crazy Cloud Rehearsal", several 30+ stars in the drama club are facing age anxiety. In the period, but the brothers shouted "burn with the tail of youth" and bravely climbed the stage of "Er Xi", demonstrating the fearlessness of middle-aged professionals who can still ride the wind and waves.



XX actually represents the majority in the film and television industry. The reason why they named the group "XX" is to speak out for the young actors who have always been unknown in the industry but persisted in hard work. They, who were praised by , Yu Hewei and as "mature actors", have the opportunity to be seen by more people and the market through "Er Xi" like Hao Shichengshuang.


Another category is the young and invincible new generation of comedians.


Archie and Acheng, who are jokingly called "looks disrespectful to comedy", through the work "Vulnerability in the Darkness", they fully demonstrated their extremely social but sensitive and fragile personality traits. Their personality charm is more infectious than appearance. audience.


The cool Tianfang is nicknamed "the gun battle brothers". The two people are always fighting each other as funny as their works, and the cool Teng, who has become popular all over the Internet at the age of 26, interprets it with strength What is Yu Hewei's "terrible future generations".



Although Xi Si still has nostalgic feelings for the players of "Yixi", the voices on the Internet calling for Hao Shicheng and the runner-up to return to the second season are loud, but the 25 comedy teams of "Er Xi" have also Spreading happiness in the relay, I believe that they will gradually release their humor and charm following the show, and gradually be loved by more netizens.


Guo Yunqi, who is the prototype character of "Vulnerability in the Darkness", encouraged himself with the words "Take yesterday's sadness as a joke today, then pack your bags and run to tomorrow" in the talking session, and saw the thoughts of so many actors to share , All audiences can feel the spiritual magic of these 25 groups of comedians in "Er Xi" who are not afraid of life challenges and use comedy to resolve their troubles.


Therefore, whether the players use the power of comedy to relieve their troubles, or the audience is healed by watching other people's joys, the greatest value of "Er Xi", which is more lifelike and resonant, is that it reminds people to find a new perspective Revisit life and be a more interesting adult. While creating pure joy for the audience, the show also conveys the warm power of an optimistic life.


With this power, "Er Xi" will also become a "source of happiness" for more people.
