In recent years, the world of comedy has been full of talent, each with its own unique charm. For example, Song Xiaobao of the Liaoning Folk Art Troupe, who grew up in the black soil of Northeast China, has an innate sense of humor. There are also Happy Twist actors, who are good at creating comedy stories that are full of meaning and not kitsch.
They once amazed, but gradually they became trapped in their own characteristics and difficult to surpass.
However, at this moment, Jia Bing's appearance brought a new shock to the audience. At first, he was not too eye-catching in "Smiling Proud Jianghu", but he was not discouraged by this. Later, he became a sensation in "The Legend of Laughter", successfully won the championship, and his popularity skyrocketed.
With this momentum, he quickly participated in the "Happy Comedian" program, seized this opportunity, went all the way, and finally successfully stood on the stage of the CCTV Spring Festival Gala.
The performance of the Spring Festival Gala sketch "Learning to Drive" that year was a classic, but Jia Bing's cooperation with two comedy superstars Cai Ming and Pan Changjiang did not show fatigue at all, but seemed to be full of spirits.
Jia Bing has always had an outstanding performance in the Spring Festival Gala, won many awards, and has been highly praised by the industry. Guo Degang once praised him for creating a new era of comedy, and Cheng Ye also highly praised him for reaching the level of a master. Even the audience began to compare him with Zhao Benshan, and had high hopes for him, expecting him to become the leader of the next generation of comedy.
However, soon after Jia Bing's sketches successfully reached the peak, they gradually lost the audience's favor. The reason is that his works have an obvious tendency to be routine from a certain point, and all of them are developing towards the mode of "happy heads and sad ends", and the lines are gradually filled with dogmatic positive energy.
This style has seriously deviated from Zhao Benshan's original comedy intention of "making you laugh enough", and the audience will naturally feel that it has lost its freshness.
What's even more suffocating is that Jia Bing's performance style is still exaggerated, whether it is from the theater stage to the TV screen, his posture of raising his hands high, his overly grimaceous expression, and earth-shattering crazy shouting are almost identical.
There was a problem with Jia Bing's performance, and many viewers suffered from aesthetic fatigue, and some even complained that as soon as they saw him appear, they knew that they had to prepare tissues to wipe their tears. His sketches live up to their name, echoing from beginning to end, and the humorous performances that precede them are all about setting the stage for the final storyline.
By the last five minutes, almost every scene was filled with carefully set tears. This kind of work routine machinery, if you want to regain the glory of the past, I am afraid it will be difficult to reach the sky.
In fact, Jia Bing had a chance to avoid his current predicament, but he has always stuck to his own opinions and is unwilling to change his sketch style. Zhao Benshan and his apprentice Xiao Shenyang have publicly expressed their dissatisfaction with the "happy head and sad tail" sketch, and even decided not to perform such sketches anymore. But Jia Bing didn't care and continued his "happy head and sad tail" performance style. This situation led him to become increasingly unpopular in the comedy world, even to the point where it could not be saved.
Perhaps realizing that the road of comedy has come to an end, Jia Bing decided to turn to film and television to seek new development. There are countless cases of transformation from comedian to screen actor, such as Jia Ling and Shen Teng, who have successfully achieved crossover.
For Jia Bing, however, the transformation plan seemed too hasty and hasty.
Surprisingly, his first film chose the heavyweight film "Embarrassing Mother" starring himself. The film is directed by well-known director Xu Zheng, and the collaboration between the two comedy superstars has aroused enthusiastic expectations from the audience.
However, after the release of this widely watched movie, it was disappointed and stared down by countless audiences. Whether it is the plot or acting, many weak links are exposed.
However, Jia Bing's own performance was a little disappointing, he failed to realize that he needed to make a lot of adjustments from the stage to the screen.
He maintains exaggerated body language and facial expression management in the theater, which does not match the situation of the film. Doing so not only weakens the audience's sense of substitution, but also destroys the dramatic tension and makes him look abrupt and contrived.
"Embarrassing Mother" is regarded as the Waterloo of Jia Bing's transformation, and the quality of the film and television works he participated in has deteriorated since then. In 2021 alone, as if he was being forced, he participated in 8 movies one after another.
However, all the movies are bad without exception, with extremely low ratings and no one cares. This made Jia Bing quickly crowned the title of "King of Bad Movies".
As a person who has transformed into the film and television industry, Jia Bing should have been guided by legitimate career development, but he is obviously too eager for quick success, seems impetuous, and is in a hurry for success due to lack of accumulation.
This not only made him unable to obtain preliminary recognition in the film and television industry, but was also jokingly said by many people that he had to "prepare tissues" to watch his movies. Such ups and downs are really sighing.
When Jia Bing was about to fall completely silent, the hit crime drama "Hurricane" made him famous again. When the director approached Jia Bing to play the role of the villain "Xu Jiang" in the play, he was reluctant at first.
The transformation from a funny role to a gangster leader requires extremely high acting skills, because the role span is very large.
But it was precisely because of the challenge that Jia Bing decided to accept the invitation. Not only did he successfully perform the role, but he also made the audience impress him again.
Xu Jiang"This character is overly exaggerated, cruel, cowardly, and has some irony, which fits well with Jia Bing's acting qualities.
Jia Bing finally found his niche in this performance, and his VTX exaggerated acting technique once again became the hallmark of the role. The classic line "What grade, dare to use a TV with me" directly cleared the audience's laughter.
When Jia Bing needed to prove himself again, the golden sentences he brought were made into various emojis by netizens, and they became popular in a short time. At the same time, "Hurricane" pointed him in the right direction.
Indeed, although the role of Xu Jiang is a little too rough, this is exactly the attribute that the low-level gangsters have successfully climbed to the throne of the underworld boss. If it is shaped with low-key calmness, it will seem unreal.
Jia Bing's performance accurately captures this degree, which can not only give full play to his own strengths, but also make the characters more real and three-dimensional.
This time, Jia Bing's progress and hard work have not only won recognition in the industry, but also been perceived by the majority of ordinary audiences. Perhaps, this is the sign that he is back at the top after many years of Waterloo.
We deeply expect that after this tempering, Jia Bing will continue to absorb the essence of performance, break through himself, and bring more excellent works to everyone.
At this point, the story is already emotional. Once upon a time, Jia Bing was a new generation of comedy leaders that the audience was looking forward to, and he appeared on the CCTV Spring Festival Gala for three seasons, and the industry was unanimously optimistic that he would become the next Zhao Benshan.
Unexpectedly, he faltered all the way, and finally became the "king of bad movies", making himself fall hard in the film and television industry.
In fact, Jia Bing is fully capable of avoiding these tragic endings. He has a broader acting career waiting for him, as long as he is willing to take this step. However, he himself chose complacency and a single way of playing, which means that he will face failure. The reasons for these failures were all of his own making.
Jia Bing has extraordinary talent, and the achievements in "Hurricane" are enough to prove this. Didn't he regret it? The answer is no. As long as he can comprehend the lessons of the past, Jia Bing still has a broad space for development and may still create brilliance.
So, let's look forward to it together. Perhaps defeat was just a pain that the young man had to go through, but it helped him go further. This time, we really hope to see a new Jia Bing, no longer repeating the old ways of the past, just to bring better and better works.
In this case, the audience will definitely give him a round of applause again.
