Produced by Bilibili, co-produced by Pictureism, Dinosaur Pictures, and Danliren, this fantasy light-hearted short film stars Liu Yang, Six Beasts, Bu Guanjin, Boss Shi, Ma Ling, Jiang Sida, Tudou, and Xin Zai The drama "Don't Become a Watermelon!" "Director" is officially launched today. The drama tells the hilarious story of a useless young man who accidentally comes into contact with the director of the Administration of Different Dimensions and is forced to reach the top of his life in 24 days.
Liu Yang plays Zheng Hao, a young man who is lying flat in the play. He pursues the "truth of life" of "catching fish at work and lying flat after work." He can lie down and never stand up, capturing the essence of a young man in an abandoned house who has lost hope and direction in life. Whether it's the funny yoga poses or the confession experience that makes everyone feel like a roller coaster, it makes people laugh. When he met the director of another dimension who could change his life trajectory, he resolutely chose to talk show to find himself. From "My Mom", which has a lot of memes, to "I Have a Friend", which is full of laughter and tears, Zheng Hao narrates the sweetness and bitterness of life with vivid jokes, and regards the laughter of the audience as his own realization of life. The power of meaning. Some netizens commented that "Liu Yang consistently talks about talk shows whether on stage or in plays." But thinking from another perspective, this is not a kind of understanding and "intercommunication" between actors and characters.
"Don't become a watermelon!" "Director" is Liu Yang's first attempt to cross over from a comedian to an actor. It is easy to see from the trailer and premiere that he has given a qualified answer sheet. Not only because he played the role of talk show actor Zheng Hao in his true character, and he performed the joyful and nonsensical healing story in an interesting way. Or is it his presentation of the character's early decadent state and emotions? After he knew his fate, he calmly reassured his mother as if nothing had happened, his furious gaffe when he learned that the director he cherished was not as sincere as he imagined, and his "" "Slow mouth, half a beat" and laughing away... These performances beyond his true nature make us feel that he is one of countless ordinary young people, real and ordinary, who will passively dodge and think deeply in the face of the mammoth fate. Then he straightened up and continued moving forward. He may not be sophisticated and skilled enough in acting, but we can really feel his careful expression of the character and respect for the performance and the camera.
In fact, in addition to being the starring role in the drama, Liu Yang also has another identity, and that is the drama - "Don't Become a Watermelon!" One of the screenwriters of "The Director". He talked about his understanding of comedy in the behind-the-scenes footage and said: Comedy is something that happens naturally, and it is the flower of life that blooms in a dull and helpless life. When he created the character Zheng Hao, he integrated many elements of people around him in life. Even the pull between characters and the daily interactions between them, he would repeatedly figure out and practice in the early stage to achieve the most ideal presentation effect. Using jokes and humor to tell the background of life, and using unconventional and nonsensical encounters in other dimensions to convey joy and passion to Generation Z audiences, this is another bold adventure for Liu Yang besides being an actor.
"Directing and performing in one" is another self-breakthrough for Liu Yang, and it is also the inevitable result of years of accumulation. From the small stage of stand-up comedy, to "Qi Pa Shuo Season 7", to the "Annual Comedy Competition", as well as the ace podcast program "Boring Zhai" and its upgraded version - the first video podcast variety show "Have a Good Chat" ”, Liu Yang’s comedy road has been moving steadily, and it has fully blossomed in many fields such as offline, podcasts and variety shows. This new attempt in the field of short plays has opened up a new chapter in his multi-faceted comedy section, and also allowed more people to understand that Liu Yang is not only a senior comedian with many years of experience, but also a potential comedian. Dark horse actor. Looking forward to Liu Yang's performance in "Don't Become a Watermelon!" "Director" will bring more exciting performances in the next plot. I also hope that he will make more attempts as an actor and bring more excellent works to the audience.
