comedy variety show " Happy Wonderful Night " has surprised the audience as soon as it aired recently. "The World of Sketch" in the first episode not only became the best in the show, but also became a hit after being broadcast. This 18-minute program includes both a tribute to the classic Spring Festival Gala sketches of that year and a deconstruction of sketch routines in recent years. Among them, the "chosen complainer" Lu Yan directly issued a "breaking the fourth wall" The voice vividly demonstrated the audience's complex feelings towards the Spring Festival Gala-style sketches, and also reflected the increasingly sophisticated creative and performance skills of the new generation of comedians.

Less than two days after "Wonderful Night" aired, "The World of Sketch", which ranked first in the first issue, has become a hot search on various platforms. Young comedian Lu Yan teamed up with Spring Festival Gala regular He Huan and drama actor Deng Shuai to present a story similar to "The Truman Show": In a family of three, the son suspects that he is living in a sketch that is unreal. In the world, people want to break down the glowing wall at home and see what is behind it. The reaction of parents after hearing this idea corresponds to the Spring Festival Gala sketch that the audience is familiar with.

The three characters in "The World of Sketch" each have their own profound meanings. The mother played by Deng Shuai has a strong acting mark and dresses up as a woman. The father played by He Huan is a greasy middle-aged man who likes to express himself in "four, six or eight sentences". There is trouble between the husband and wife. The story structure of misunderstanding and reconciliation is also a typical setting in many family sketches. On the surface, the son played by Lu Yan is a child in the rebellious period of youth, but in fact he is a sketch character who has awakened his self-awareness. He tries to escape from the world of the sketch and wants to pick up a hammer and break the "fourth wall" on the stage. This The characters represent the audience watching the sketch and are everyone’s “Internet mouthpieces”. On the

stage, when every clichéd plot of a modern sketch appears, Lu Yan will use his unique way of complaining to prove that these exist in the world of sketches and will never happen in the real world. For example, "Every big thing that happens at home can be solved within 13 minutes", "The Spring Festival couplets are hung in the house instead of on the door", "I'm going to make dumplings if I'm not paying attention, right?" etc. The climax of the show occurred when Lu Yan beat his chest and shouted: "I also stirred up a big emotion." Those impressive classic characters on the Spring Festival Gala sketch stage appeared one by one. This moment not only paid tribute to the former comedian, but also It brought the audience back to the fond memories of watching Spring Festival Gala classics such as "Decoration", "Three Auspicious Treasures" and "Hourly Worker".

The reason why "The World of Sketch" quickly became popular is that in addition to the excellent script quality, rhythm control and actor performance of the work, the main reason is that the main creator expressed the feelings of one or even several generations of audiences towards the Spring Festival Gala sketch. Complex emotions: Everyone is stuck in the throat of the stereotyped sketches in recent years where "you can guess the ending just by looking at the beginning", and miss those original works that were full of life and creative imagination, and did not use mechanical and bad jokes. When Lu Yan said on the stage that he wanted to smash the wall and "see whether there is joy or embarrassment in the audience's eyes", he received thunderous applause from the audience. Some netizens said that what Lu Yan wants to break is not the TV wall, but the solidification of creative thinking. For example, if the current sketches are not sensational, they will not write them. However, excellent comedy performers should carefully shape each character, and the educational significance is also It can be integrated into the story without being rigid.

The current Spring Festival Gala-style comedy creation dilemma lies in the fact that what the audience needs is to be understood and sympathized with, rather than forcefully sensationalizing and preaching. Comedy sketches based on real life were once a source of happiness for the audience to relieve stress. But when more and more works simply imitate the "four, six or eight sentences" in the sketch in a routine, or forcibly create conflicts and end with making dumplings, the audience only feels perfunctory and alienated. At the end of "The World of Sketch", the mother throws away her wig and returns to the image of a man, using a sledgehammer to smash the wall. This is also a call for comedy creators to shed all disguises and face the audience with their truest selves and sincerity.From this point of view, these young comedians who grew up watching the Spring Festival Gala sketches and drew nourishment from them, while mocking the bad jokes of various modern sketches, are actually a good inheritance of outstanding comedy predecessors and comedy spirit.
