Some films have adopted a light comedy style, and most of them are more secular and boring, but they have a certain market space and can be accepted by many people. In fact, from the perspective of film art itself, after there are more light comedy styles, there will be similar plots, there will be laughing people, and there will be forced laughter, that is, embarrassing laughter, which makes people feel very bored. In that case, then why adopt the light comedy style?
Because movies have been completely marketized, they no longer pursue perfect art, but box office value. As long as there is a high box office as a guarantee, the movie is considered a good movie. And most of the directors are cutting-edge directors, who like to play some modernist and postmodern things, and even want to make a hodgepodge of films, and get a lot of exciting elements into it, such as fights, drag racing, drug trafficking, bank robbery, etc., it seems that there are all kinds of scenes, and there are a lot of comedy styles, and a "baggage" has to be set up every five or six minutes to make people laugh. It's not that the director has to design it this way, but he has to design it this way. After all, the current audience is no longer the audience it used to be, and it will not be honestly educated, nor will it honestly watch a film. If the atmosphere of the film is too dull, or there is a tragic plot that is too poignant, it will make the audience lose their appetite and even cause a bad reputation. The audience watched the movie for fun, not to shed tears. In this way, the film becomes an entertainment product, not a work of art.
After many Hollywood blockbusters entered the market, it stimulated people's nerves. After strong stimulation, people will change their movie-watching Xi, thinking that only blockbusters like Hollywood are good movies, and other movies are generally waiting for things. If it's a small production, a small investment, and a patchwork of unknown directors and actors, it will generally not achieve good box office value. As a result, such a small film director will integrate a light comedy style into the movie, so that the movie can make people laugh, and let the movie adjust people's lives, even if it is just to make people relax temporarily, it will also achieve certain results. The audience is used to watching big Hollywood movies, so they want to watch some small fun movies, as if they are used to eating a big meal and need to eat some homely food. But if you really eat a home-cooked meal, you will get tired of eating it after eating it for a long time. The same is true for movies, after getting used to watching movies that incorporate a light comedy style, it will also cause aesthetic fatigue.
Most of the audience usually brush up on short**, and short** itself has a great joke attribute. A short ** has one or several "baggage", causing people to laugh, and even laughter with laughter, which makes many people feel Xi. Light comedy style movies are designed to cater to people's viewing Xi habits, and to cater to people's usual Xi of staring at mobile phone screens and laughing, which can also make the audience feel intimate. So, why do audiences mostly prefer the light comedy style?
Because of the lack of comedy in life, the more you lack something, the more you like something, which is called "rare things are expensive". Most of the people go to the city to work, and those who don't go to the city have to work. And capital has penetrated into every corner of society, to hire cheap labor, but also to squeeze and exploit labor. People must be guaranteed working hours, and they must work "voluntarily" overtime, knowing how to earn more, but this extra money is only relative to going to work, but it does not make a fortune through work, or even get rich. I finally got some money, but I had to go to the city to buy a house, and I had to go into debt. There is no leisure time for work, and when I finally have leisure time, I have to have some fun, not to find tragic feelings, so that I cry a lot. As a result, watching movies has become a pastime and an act of having fun. In particular, many young men and women who are in love have become the main force of watching movies, and they go to the cinema just to watch a comedy, not to watch a heavy tragedy. They will see film as a pastime, not as an artistic embodiment. When people like light comedy style movies, that is when the comedy style is most lacking in society.
Films in the light comedy genre are least fond of sensationalism, but rather to press it down with a string of gigs as soon as something touching arises, thus quietly interpreting the story, but it does not prevent it from asking serious questions. However, this kind of "entertaining" way of asking questions does not arouse much emotion, let alone social thought. Light comedy uses exaggerated performances to allegorize the reality of life and human nature, and creates some deformed and absurd plots, which can be regarded as something that caters to the audience's imagination, with the meaning of irony and persuasion, and even alludes to some traditions of feudal etiquette. If it is good, it will become bad, and if it is extremely bad, it will become good, which seems to have become the law of the plot of light comedy.
Another reason why light comedy style movies are liked by the public is the appearance of laughing people. There is laughter in the film, that is, the director thinks that there will be laughter in the plot where the laughter should appear, and this laughter is made by the person with laughter found by the director, or it may be synthesized in post-production, with the purpose of making the audience laugh, not making the audience laugh themselves. Because the audience is often inattentive and does not understand the director's painstaking efforts, they will be at a loss, and they will not know what laughing plots the director has set up, or even just embarrassing laughter, and the audience will not know. Therefore, the director has to find people with laughter, or directly synthesize laughter to guide people to laugh.
However, the sharp-toothed and expressive comedy is not necessarily humorous, and even relatively shallow and boring. Humor itself requires a witty mind and a broad mind, and even a high degree of wisdom rooted in the soil of national culture and embodied popular culture. Showing the world in humor and showing the warmth of human nature seems to be the law that light comedy style movies abide by. Of course, it is not good to have too many light comedy style movies, which can easily cause people's aesthetic fatigue, and even the audience feels that they have been fooled by laughing for a long time, so they can't watch it.
Of course, the most fundamental reason why some movies adopt the light comedy style is to cater to market demand and earn high box office returns, but it is a pity that they often ignore the art of film itself.
