In the first half of "Hot and Hot", Jia Ling's joy was expected, and Li Xueqin's weak heart knelt even more incomprehensibly. Compared with the familiar faces in most comedies, another generation of Internet celebrity comedians has successfully pursued their dreams in the film and television industry.
The so-called Internet celebrity comedians are popular in the Internet era, and their popularity process inevitably depends on the hype and network communication of netizens. For example, the first generation of Internet celebrity comedian Baike Dapeng, who became popular with joke dramas, has successfully created the dark horse comedy "Annual Meeting Can't Stop" on New Year's Day; The second generation of Shen Teng Ma Li, who became a household name with the Spring Festival Gala sketches and contributed to Internet hotspots, has become the mainstay of the Chinese film box office; The third generation of Jin Jing and Li Jiaqi (Yoko Rame), who have impacted the film and television industry with funny female images, have already played the main roles in high-reputation realism dramas.
Nowadays, ** Internet celebrity comedians have also begun to emerge, especially with Tong Monan's sentence "(talk show) industry is gone again".This generation of talk show actors and comedians is more concentrated on the film and television stage, forming a solid and huge camp of *** Internet celebrity comedians
Li Xueqin is one of the faster ones, Xu Zhisheng has joined the crew of Tencent's new drama "Chivalry Doesn't Work" before the Spring Festival, as the male number one, Hammer Na Lisa has two dramas online during the Spring Festival, and several comedians such as Jiang Long and Shi Ce in the "Annual Comedy Competition" are also gathered in "Dog Leftovers Run" and "Young Master and Me".
It's a good time for comedians to pursue their dreams in the film and television industry.
Comedians are in the Spring Festival stalls, who made the audience laugh?
Spring Festival audiences often enter the cinema for family comedies, which comedy is funnier this year?
Affected by the character's personality, Jia Ling's laughter in "Hot and Hot" focuses on the part that satirizes the male gaze and the stereotype of fat girls in the first half. Even in "Flying Life 2", which is a collection of comedians, the characters of Wei Xiang, Jia Bing, Zhang Benyu and others are all doing things seriously, relying on the rivalry with Shen Teng to produce laughter.
However, some fans think that these two movies starring the most recognized comedians in the country do not contain a high amount of "laughter", and they are not even as hilarious as the scene between Ma Li and Lei Jiayin chasing a car petitioner in the "popular law film" "Article 20". But the box office data proves that most people still recognize Jia Ling and Shen Teng, the two national comedy faces, and the personified marketing events behind them.
On the big screen, Shen Teng and Jia Ling proved that being comedians can also drive the box office single-handedly. On the other hand, on the small screen, comedians can also stand alone, which has begun to show signs in this year's winter vacation episodes.
The comedies in this year's winter vacation have once again ignited the enthusiasm of the audience, and the concept of "Chinese New Year dramas" and the strong atmosphere of "Comedy New Year" that have disappeared for a while in the domestic drama market have returned.
Among them, the cross-border contribution of Internet celebrity comedians cannot be ignored, and the "Comedian Team Building Drama" alone has two works, "Dog Leftover Run" and "Young Master and Me", which paved the way for the atmosphere before the Spring Festival holiday.
As an anti-Japanese comedy, Jiang Long and Shi Ce served as the male and female protagonists of the play as members of the champion group of "Yixi". The dog leftovers who originally joined the army just to make money in the ocean, in the maneuver of people from all walks of life, experienced national hatred and family hatred, and grew up step by step. The first half is hilarious, and the second half is full of laughter and tears, and the ratings of CVB and Kuyun are steadily standing at 15% or more.
Another short drama "Young Master and Me" is named after the combination of Zhan Xin and Zhang Zhehua in "Yixi", and the two also play the leading roles, interpreting a collection of 12 short stories. is similar to the story form on the stage of "Yixi", with rich connotations and average laughter, more like a collection of fables.
In addition to starring in "Dog Leftovers Run", Jiang Long also played an important role in the unit story of "The Young Master and Me", and the image of the little person he played in the comedy gradually became deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. This did not prevent him from playing the leading role in big IP dramas such as "Tiger Crane Demon Master" and "Time ** People", whether it is the actor's story or the play, it has the taste of the cool text counterattack that male audiences like.
AI mapping, by Entertainment Capital Similarly, the performance of Internet celebrity comedians throughout the Spring Festival is also the most prominent Jiang Long. A large number of comedians starred in the movies and series of the schedule as supporting actors, for example, although Li Xueqin is eye-catching in the movie, she has only a handful of appearances. The first two starring actors, only Jiang Long, Shi Ce, Zhan Xin, and Zhang Zhehua, most of them are still in the rising period of "brushing their faces".
In terms of work results, in addition to Jiang Long and Shi Ce, most of the comedians in the rising period are still starring in comedies that are relatively suitable for their attributes, especially the participating works in the field of dramas, mainly family carnival Chinese New Year comedies and short dramas.
Jiang Long, who is not handsome and looks very attractive, is undoubtedly the best among the most popular comedians.
Internet celebrity comedians chase dreams in the film and television industry to upgrade 4Version 0
Among the movies and dramas in the Spring Festival file, there are not only a few works of "comedian team building", Jiang Long, Wang Xiaolong, and Hammer Na Lisa all have two starring or starred dramas on the air, especially the "penetration rate" of *** Internet celebrity comedians in the dramas is quite considerable.
The concept of "Internet celebrity comedian" is broader than the identity of "Internet celebrity", in addition to the transformation of Internet celebrities, there are more comedy celebrities who stand out from Internet products such as online variety shows. In recent years, the humorous online variety "Talk Show Conference" and "Annual Comedy Contest" have become the cradle of breeding *** Internet celebrity comedians.
Prior to that,The first generation of Internet celebrity comedians is dominated by the veterans of Wanhe Tianyi。In 2012 and 2013, "Never Expected" and "Report to the Boss" and other joke dramas became popular on the Internet, Bai Ke, Kong Lianshun, Liu Xunzimo, Zhang Benyu and others are still active on the screen, they can get together to create dark horse films such as "Rise to Fame", and they can play the finishing touch in the movie "Annual Meeting Can't Stop", "Flying Life", as well as the drama "Jiang Zhao Dawn" and "Minglong Boy" and other works.
The second generation of Internet celebrity comedians are mainly drama actors who are happy twist, in addition to adapting the drama into a comedy movie, the "Today's Happiness" series of sketches also became popular in the Spring Festival Gala. A sketch line full of network sense "It's not innocence and innocence that defeats you" has also brought more young netizens to the perspective of the most popular IP "Tomb Robbery Notes" fanworks.
The starting point of the popularity of the Spring Festival Gala sketches and movies is destined for this generation of comedians to occupy the pinnacle of comedy for a long time. Even though Jia Ling and Shen Teng are already seriously engaged in inspirational and enthusiastic, the two generations of family elders will want to laugh when their parents, parents and grandparents, see their faces.
Jin Jing and Li Jiaqi, the third-generation Internet celebrity comedians, have seized the opportunity of a new generation of micro-short dramas, with the series of micro-short dramas "Life Got Done to Me" and "The Director Got Done to Me" to help his protagonist dream. In fact, they are similar to the first generation of joke dramas, all of which are designed to use virality to "brush up" on the Internet.
When the *** Internet celebrity comedian appeared, many people had already "returned" through the online comprehensive. Jiang Long has a very clear positioning of his former "waist artist", while Jiang Shimeng calls himself a lower "foot artist". If you want to say how they are different from the previous three generations of Internet celebrity comedians? Maybe it's because after standing out in variety shows, the speed of "topping" is faster.
Producers and casting teams are increasingly time-sensitive when it comes to screening new faces. Rather than looking for some pure newcomers with little acting experience, it is more appropriate to select talents from comedy network comprehensives. In addition to the performance experience in variety shows, many people themselves are from acting classes. As a comedian with a familiar face, it works well to adjust the atmosphere in many TV dramas. Xiao Ai, who works as an executive producer, told Fugu Film and Television Archives (ID: HTYSDA).
Therefore, "One Happiness" and "Two Happiness" have only ended one or two years, and they have already seen the contestants appear in film and television dramas in the Spring Festival file. The film and television industry, which has just undergone a period of adjustment, is in need of fresh blood. For comedians, the wind is just around the corner.
The transformation of comedians is not only comedy
Tencent's new costume drama "Chivalry Doesn't Work" was launched, and the combination of "Xu Zhisheng + Baked Cake" as the male protagonist and male lead made many netizens "dumbfounded", which is too far from the configuration of "costume idol drama" in everyone's impression.
Although Xu Zhisheng also used netizens' jokes at the start-up scene to complain "Looking for Xu Zhisheng to be the male lead, Tencent are you really hungry", if this drama is a comedy placed in the "bench unit" like "The Legend of Quedaomen", it seems that everything is reasonable again, after all, Wen Song is already a first-class handsome guy in "The Legend of Quedaomen".
Tencent**'s "Bench Unit" and iQiyi's "Little Comedy Theater" are the latest comedy rehearsals to be tried in recent years, and the return of the comedy genre should obviously be a new opportunity for comedians.
More unexpectedly,When cultivating the rise of the comedy genre, the platform is more inclined to mature comedy groups, such as "The Legend of Magpie Knife Gate" starring Zhao Benshan's team and "Washe Jianghu" and "Wanchun Laughing Club" starring members of Deyun Club。Of course, there will be sitcoms other than Northeast comedy that can accommodate comedians, but it can be seen that individual comedians who fight alone do have a slight disadvantage over teams with their own IP when striving to appear in comedies.
So do comedians have any other options than comedy?
Stand-up comedians may be more difficult, because Tong Mo Nan is a proverb as a "dark lamp in the industry". Of course, talk show actors are not the first batch to be considered "the industry is gone" to film, and "the end of the draft is acting" is earlier. It's just that compared with the idol drama field that is full of life and death in terms of appearance, traffic and acting skills, comedians just happened to encounter an outlet suitable for them.
Reality dramas have now become the main route for the transformation of Internet celebrity comedians, in the word-of-mouth dark horse drama "All the Way to the Sun", Wang Hao starred as the heroine's ex-boyfriend, and the unmotivated Mabao system man performed the resonance of many young men, which made people hate it; In the women's topic drama "Lady's Character", Wang Mian and a generation of Internet celebrity comedian Bai Ke played different types of husband roles.
In these two dramas, Wang Hao and Wang Mian, who are *** Internet celebrity comedians, do not participate in many scenes, but the themes are relatively serious and the roles are slightly complex, which is quite in contrast to the identities of the two comedians. In contrast, it can be seen that Wang Hao's appearance can make the audience abandon his variety show identity and devote himself to his role in the play, Wang Mian's role as a novice dad is still inseparable from his characteristic guitar playing and singing in variety shows, which can adjust the atmosphere, but he is still "being himself".
In the inspirational drama "Hometown, Don't Come to Harm", Ren Suxi is responsible for arousing the resonance of the workers, Zhang Chi is responsible for adjusting the atmosphere, Shi Ce is responsible for the inspirational women after the emotional injury, and Li Xueqin is responsible for the cute ** audience who is enthusiastic about the Northeast girl.
The characters of Ren Suxi and Zhang Chi in this play have a sense of joy, and the two perform relaxed and natural; What is more surprising is that Li Xueqin's i-person girl can actually talk about a sweet love that makes the audience's aunt laugh in the play, which is very different from her temperament as an anchor and talk show in variety shows in her early days, which can be regarded as showing a correct grasp of different drama paths. On the contrary, although Shi Ce performed the self-improvement side of women in the play, it caused a lot of controversy in "Dog Left", and perhaps there is still some need to consider and temper in the choice of drama and role speculation.
The adaptability of comedians and reality dramas is not low, and it is very important to choose the right way to play, Yang Li's assistance for the male and female protagonists in "Minglong Boy" is more like himself and more acceptable than the star of change in "Seven O'clock Auspicious", and Zong Juntao starred in Douban 8The big boss of the 5-point costume suspense drama "Under the Prosperous City" was suspected by many viewers in advance because of his too strong label as a comedian, which made the viewing experience of the suspense drama drop a lot.
Internet celebrity comedians are still in the early stage of chasing dreams in the film and television industry, and the adaptability of roles and the choice of drama paths need to be explored. But most comedians who want to truly transform into film and television actors still need to learn the actor skills of "drama face" in the future.
It seems that many of the first generation of Internet celebrity comedians have taken off the "comedy" mask, Kong Lianshun taught the role of the director and the boss driver in "Minglong Boy" and "Love as the Camp", so serious that almost everyone forgot that he played the fat version of Xiaolongnu by inserting chicken legs on his head.
Although Bai Ke played Chiang Kai-shek in the historical drama "Ask the Boundless", it is inevitable that some netizens will not forget to play the stalk of "Wang Da Hammer Reborn, I am the principal". After cooperating with Dapeng, who also played the joke drama "Dick Silk Man" in the early days of the Internet, "The Annual Meeting Can't Stop", it makes people see the potential of his drama comedy.
The combination of seriousness and comedy may be the best destination for comedians.
So is it because there are more comedies that more comedians need more comedians, or is it because there are more comedians in the dream-chasing film and television industry that more comedies are born? The chicken-and-egg problem may not matter anymore, the important thing is that the two-way rush between comedy and comedian is now at the right time.
