Comedy performances should pay attention to the communication and interaction of characters. Generate actions and behaviors from the characters.
On the evening of March 13th, in the expectation of the audience, the first comedy inheritance variety show "Gold Comedy Class" created by the Cultural Center of China Central Radio and Television, ushered in the second stage of the sixth phase, Chen Peisi's tutor "Can't" The "Yi" class is officially taught.
As the originator of Chinese essays, Chen Peisi adheres to the principle of tracing the roots and making comedies with a spiritual core. Through theoretical teaching and in-class quizzes, he teaches students the origin of comedy, the methods of comedy, and the creation of comedy, and how to explore how to make comedy. It is an innovative breakthrough in how to stand out in the crowded comedy variety show, how to awaken the audience from aesthetic fatigue.
Since the launch of "Gold Medal Comedy Class", it has ranked first in real-time ratings for six consecutive episodes, and has maintained its explosive momentum.
What is comedy? Relying on theoretical guidance, explore the creative principles and expression methods of comedy
"Who am I, what am I going to do, where am I going", teacher Chen Peisi led the students to explore the ultimate problem of comedy through a six-hour long lecture.
From the initial excitement, to the difficulty in the middle of the journey, to the divine enlightenment, the students gradually entered the better state, until the final harvest was full of satisfaction.
Through a series of classic comedy case analysis and classroom interactive games, Mr. Chen traced the origins of Chinese dramas and analyzed the expression methods of comedy: self-harm, teasing the powerful, misunderstanding, and the expression of a sense of difference, so that students understand that "comedy is An important category of drama is the dramatic activity that creates laughter." "Comedy must not only pave the story, but also pave its expectations in place." "Creating laughter is our starting point, not creation. "We must know the height of our ancients so that we can know what we should do and what we should do today."
How to build baggage? Dig the core from the complete story and deconstruct the laughter in the sketch
Laughter, it represents the degree of civilization of human society.
At the same time, laughter is an important feature that distinguishes us from all other animals.
Different from the quick jokes and the performances that are piled up with burdens, the comedy Chen Peisi has always respected and practiced is based on misplacement, misunderstandings and misunderstandings. Just like his series of works created on the screen, he digs into the comedy elements in the core of these stories. When creating creation, the establishment of every burden, the grasp of every size, the generation and action of every rhythm, the process of action is to "train" the audience to laugh, and this "training" is actually more to make the audience and A conscious catharsis of emotional resonance in the work.
Clarify the relationship between the characters, pave the way around the main line, and let the work form a complete closed loop
Relying on the story structure to explain the dislocation of identity and constructing comedy points, the overall presentation of a story structure and character contrast is the style advocated by Mr. Chen Peisi in the teaching guidance.
The first group of students in the class quiz, Li Jingyu, Tan Yuan, and Cao Yangyang’s work "Feng Xi You Long", as a cross-border partner, differentiated stage performance makes their works have problems such as the main character is not prominent.
In this regard, Teacher Chen helped them analyze and sort out the characters and main lines.
The reorganized program connects the size of each baggage and the key points of performance in the performance, and the whole plot opens.
Coupled with the solid basic skills of the two Peking opera actors in the play and Li Jingyu's distinctive performance.
In the words of Teacher Guo Degang, it is “tailor-made”.
Although the work still has problems such as not being loud enough, the applause of the audience also allows us to see the brilliance of the work under the joint efforts of teachers and students.
Comedy performances should pay attention to the communication and interaction of characters, and generate actions and behaviors from the characters
"If you don't look at people in your eyes, this role doesn't feel that role, and each acts in its own way, these flaws are fixed." This problem that Jiang Shimeng said has not been paid attention to for many years was discovered by Teacher Chen Peisi at a glance.
In the rehearsal of "Office Love Story" in the second group of class quiz, the instructor Chen Peisi pointed out the key point and pointed out that playing the opponent's play should pay more attention to the growth of the characters in the play.
Under the guidance of Teacher Chen, the three students worked hard to get rid of this shortcoming, and the final presentation of the work won a lot of applause and high recognition.
When He Huan, Jiang Shimeng, and Chen Jianan had a performance with their eyes facing each other, Teacher Chen smiled knowingly, "very beautiful", this was a compliment from the instructor.
Encourage young people to express themselves creatively, even if they are full of shortcomings, they are worthy of praise
The sketch "Goodbye Friends" by Zang Hongna, Liu Siwei and Xu Huiqiang, in the eyes of Teacher Chen Peisi, is a comedy within the framework of tragedy, and it is a bit difficult to make.
But when he saw that the students still tried to create a comedy spark in this big tragic story to superimpose it to form a performance that was completely different from ordinary comedy, Mr. Chen was more of encouragement and innovation to young people. stand by.
When this seemingly absurd but extremely serious war theme made the audience cry.
For this sketch, if it is flawed, we can say a whole lot, but there are always some comedy flaws that can be forgiven by the audience.
It's not that the audience can't see the problem, it's just that they see more sincerity under the flaws.
The same innovation also occurred in the sketch "Golden Nanny" launched by the fourth group of students Zhang Yu, Huo Xingchen, and Zhang Ruixue.
They have given great affirmation and recognition for their daring learning attitude.
As for the failure of the students Song Zhouling and Liu Zhenyu who were auditing students in this class quiz, although they exposed their shortcomings in creative performance, they also allowed the two students to learn a lot in the "Gold Medal Comedy Class" and grow rapidly.
Chen Peisi's instructor's class quiz was ultimately defeated by Zang Hongna and Li Jingyu, and the other students advanced to the next round.
For this episode, it is more like a show in "Gold Medal Comedy Class" where "teaching" is better than "music".
It allows us to see more that the tutors are tirelessly teaching and the students are diligently learning.
It is more like a comedy lesson to the audience.
The students provided homework, and Chen Peisi and other instructors made corrections on the spot, which not only helped to improve the audience's comedy literacy, but also allowed the comedy practitioners to observe and respond to their works.
We don’t judge heroes based on success or failure. From the presentation of the show, we see the strict requirements of the three instructors and the professional and diligent academic attitude. We also deeply feel the original intention of "Gold Medal Comedy Class" with "the spirit of comedy needs to be passed on". , Is committed to creating a craftsman spirit with the "core of comedy spirit" program.
