Talk show actor apologises for 'offensive' when the border ends
On May 6, a talk show actor in Xi'an, Shaanxi Province, made a statement slandering college girls during a performance, which aroused heated discussions among netizens.
The cast and crew then apologized.
The "boundary" dilemma faced by talk shows is highlighted again.
In the video, talk show actor Yang Le asked a student, "Where are you being abducted and sold now?"
He also called a college in Shaanxi an "857 college" (referring to going out to the bar at 8:00 p.m. to dance at the bar, playing until 5:00 a.m. and going home seven times a week), and the girls didn't study hard and wanted to be an internet celebrity. crazy.
"As for the content of Yang Le's talk show, some netizens said that the script was vulgar and took the lack of quality as humor.
On the afternoon of May 6th, Yang Le posted a video apology: "It is true that he is open-minded, and he is willing to accept it." Later, the official Weibo account of Yang Le's company also issued an apology letter to punish those responsible.
It also said, "Talk show actors have a stage where they can express their views, but they cannot rely on this stage and platform to express inappropriate views such as 'overall' and 'personal prejudice', and they cannot use their right to speak to hurt others. ." He also said that he would alert the actors that "offensive" and "attack" should not be confused in the interaction process, so as to respect women and every audience.
Respect between people is an insurmountable bottom line.
Talking about topics that are not suitable for public discussion in public places, or even creating them out of nothing, damages the image of the object being discussed. This requires discussing the issue of the "boundary" of performance.
This is reminiscent of this year's Academy Awards, when Will Smith slapped 57-year-old talk show actor Chris Rock. The incident was caused by the latter teasing Will Smith's wife Jada's alopecia, saying that she can go to the bald head The sequel to "The Devil's Soldier".
It is not advisable to solve the problem violently, but the "boundary" dilemma faced by talk shows has become increasingly prominent.
In the "Talk Show Conference" program, this topic was also discussed, and Li Dan said, "There are fewer and fewer things that can be used to make fun of comedy in the Internet environment. I think everyone wants to make this circle. When you have to be a little smaller, you have to think carefully.”
When talk shows are regarded as "offensive art", the boundaries are narrowed again and again, and there are not many "offensive objects" that can withstand public scrutiny.
In addition to himself and his close people, there are probably only the "imaginary enemies" shared by ordinary people such as the boss and Party A.
More than that, even if everyone can complain about Chinese football, Fan Zhiyi can't; the audience can complain about the men's basketball team, but Zhou Qi and Guo Ailun can't.
It’s even worse to cross complaints, and the basketball players will say: Why do football players point fingers at basketball?
When people stand on the stage of a talk show and speak as actors, they can never be separated from the context of their voices. The sense of identity cannot be ignored for the audience. They send messages to each other from different angles, and collisions and disputes seem to be happening. Inevitably.
While "offending", how to make it retractable?
Taking the example of a famous talk show actor, the more "smart" and easy way to "offend" oneself.
For example, Xu Zhisheng talked about his appearance for a season, and Cheng Lu armed himself as a "divorced and independent man".
Yang Li, who ridiculed some men as "obviously so ordinary, but so confident" and "man still has a bottom line", was not so lucky. Along with the fame bonus, he was also accused of sexism and offending men.
At the end of 2020, the content of Yang Li's talk show performance was suspected to be reported.
Recently, she has been subjected to physical threats.
Yang Li challenged the topic of gender and tested the society's acceptance of "offensive".
While causing people to think about the relationship between men and women, the online violence she faced also challenged her ability to bear.
In the variety show, Yang Li "reflected" on the "bloody storm" discussion caused by his previous speech: "Maybe it's because I'm used to teasing each other with the boys around me, and those actors didn't respond after listening to it, so I still It's too dangerous to be in a small circle to have a lot of contact with a lot of people."
Comedy comes from life, and what moves the audience the most is the material that can resonate with ordinary people.
In the past two years, talk shows have flourished. "Everyone can be a 5-minute talk show actor." The "People's Stage" created by "Talk Show Conference" has attracted people from all walks of life, professionals or amateurs, to realize their dreams and open the door The boundary and extension of the talk show.
Talk shows that are blooming everywhere urgently need to clarify the industry threshold, strong observation ability and superb performance skills to create a hilarious effect, this is not enough.
"Expression of values" is to be the actor's "prime task" prior to text and technique.
If there is a risk of spreading disrespect or even insulting the object of expression, such a burden will not cause laughter, but "explosive thunder".
It would be tragic for the performer to treat low taste involving personal attacks as comedy.
The industry self-discipline of actors is indispensable.
