Chapter 505 Comedy is not dead

The source of the saying "The core of comedy is a tragedy" can no longer be found, but many comedy masters basically say this, and everyone thinks so.

Comedy brings laughter to everyone, but often people who engage in comedy are not happy.

Many comedy masters are either extremely serious themselves or many suffer from so-called depression. In short, no matter how the core of comedy is tragedy, this sentence is sometimes really the case.

As a comedy master, what he wants to do is to make you laugh, but as a comedian himself, it is painful to try every means to make others laugh.

Yu Xiaoshu has never written a comedy work.

You are like "Lost in Thailand", you are like "Lost in Thailand".

So when creating comedy works, Yu Xiaoshu was happy, excited, excited, excited, or painful??

Yu Xiaoshu said this before during an interview.

None of them.

He just wanted to create and then write it out.

I'm not Kaven, I'm just a porter of nature.

When Yu Xiaoshu said this, everyone just thought it was a joke, but Yu Xiaoshu knew that he was quite right.

You want to say something wrong.

To be precise, Yu Xiaoshu is not a porter of nature, he should be a porter on the planet.

For Yu Xiaoshu, what he just needs is to transport the works from another planet. If he wants to do anything else, he will process the transferred works.

That's all.

For Yu Xiaoshu, he was confident in the movie "Detective Chinatown". Because of his confidence, he dared to say that his small goal was 1.8 billion.

The current box office forecast for "Detective Chinatown" is 3 billion, but it is hard to say how much it will reach in the end, but it will definitely exceed 1.8 billion.

At this time, who would believe Yu Xiaoshu would be disappointed?

Whoever believes it is too stupid.

In the past three days, the media has changed its previous tone. At the same time, those who were on the beans, those who thought Yu Xiaoshu would be disappointed were basically gone.

A slap in the face always comes unexpectedly.

For many people, they never care about slapping in the face. They will always support whoever is powerful and support whoever wins.

If you fail, they will stomp you hard, or even the kind who wants to stomp you to death, because stomp you will have traffic.

But if you succeed, then they will praise you, and it is not ordinary praise you. They will praise you hard, even to the point of hatred, because at this time you have a greater traffic.

With a thousand words, they will do whatever traffic is available.

In the past three days, public opinion has been surprisingly consistent.

It's all about praising Yu Xiaoshu.

But you should know that the movie "Detective Chinatown" did not have such a good review at the beginning of its release. On the contrary, countless people were basically about to scold this movie as shit.

Who would have thought of the result?

In the blink of an eye, "Detective Chinatown" was so successful as soon as it was released.

The problem with comedy is that "Detective Chinatown" is not a pure comedy. On the contrary, this movie is mixed with detectives. It can even be said that this movie has truly created a style.

All insiders can see these.

Today, at the roadshow site, some people actually didn't just want to ask questions about the movie "Detective Chinatown" itself. On the contrary, what everyone wants to know more is what the movie "Detective Chinatown" represents as a comedy.

To be precise, insiders want to know some of Yu Xiaoshu’s thoughts on comedy.

Now, the person who asked today is a screenwriter himself.

He actually wanted to see some discussions about Yu Xiaoshu about comedy.

Is the core of comedy tragedy???

Yu Xiaoshu smiled and said, "The core of comedy is indeed a tragedy, but the most important thing is to do a good comedy, a good character, a good plot, and people-oriented. This is the most important thing. On the contrary, if you are doing comedy for tragedy, it will definitely not work."

This is one aspect.

On the other hand, it is sensationalism.

Comedy is becoming more and more sensational nowadays.

Moreover, the sensationality of many comedy has reached a disgusting level.

Many people are saying that comedy is dead.

Why??

The comedy in the past was laughable.

Comedy now is to make people cry.

Not only comedy variety shows are like this, but even comedy TV series and movies are like this.

It seems like it's not right if it's pure comedy.

It must be lifted up.

What's the point of this?

That's what Yu Xiaoshu wants to say.

It’s better to be a coincidence than to get there. Since we talk about comedy, Yu Xiaoshu also said to everyone: “Next, Baiqian Media will actually do a comedy variety show, and at that time we will tell everyone what the real comedy is.”

When he heard this, the young screenwriter was stunned: "Teacher Yu, do you think Baiqian Media is going to do comedy variety shows? But isn't the current comedy variety shows dead? And the comedy sketch actors on the market are basically tired of aesthetics."

"May I have your name??"

Yu Xiaoshu asked the young screenwriter at this time.

Wang Zhen hurriedly said, "Hello, Teacher Yu, my name is Wang Zhen."

"Wang Zhen, right? Why do I have a little impression of your name??"

Yu Xiaoshu said to Wang Zhen.

He is really not polite. Yu Xiaoshu really thinks this name is a bit familiar.

Wang Zhen was the first in the Youth Screenwriter Competition three years ago. Yu Xiaoshu went to present the awards. Although he forgot Wang Zhen, he still remembered this name.

So you take a look.

The media at this scene have already started taking photos.

This is also a point of publicity back.

After hearing what Wang Zhen said, Yu Xiaoshu said, "Okay, let's add a friend in the next round. I just happened to find some screenwriters for comedy variety shows. Then, you can just come to me."

Wang Zhen was instantly excited when he heard Yu Xiaoshu's words: "Okay, Teacher Yu."

In fact, it was not only Wang Zhen who was present, but also other screenwriters.

But this roadshow session is over.

The others obviously have no chance.

This made the others feel a little bit fucked.

Of course, there is also envy, jealousy and hatred.

For Wang Zhen, three years ago, after he won the first prize in the Youth Screenwriter Competition, what he saw was not the peak of his life. On the contrary, after he won the first prize, he began to fall in an instant.

How to say it???

Many times, there are often very few opportunities for screenwriters.

They want to ask for an opportunity, but this opportunity is often basically impossible.

Wang Zhen doesn't want to be a gunman.

And although he won the first prize, he wanted to be an independent screenwriter.

It goes without saying how difficult it is to be an independent screenwriter.

Wang Zhen also had a strong sense of enthusiasm. No matter how difficult it was to be an independent screenwriter, he would not want to be a dog with capital.

It is difficult to make money, but at least he earns all the money.

For this reason, Wang Zhen even worked part-time.

Let's say so.

Wang Zhen really does odd jobs to be a screenwriter.

This is the current situation of domestic entertainment.

Why do many people say that domestic entertainment is dead?

In fact, it is also because of this.

Talented, capable, and capable, but often have no chance.

As soon as the roadshow of "Detective Chinatown" ended, staff found Wang Zhen.

"Teacher Wang, please come here."

The staff said politely to Wang Zhen.

Backstage and in the lounge, Yu Xiaoshu roughly checked what Wang Zhen did since he won the first place in the screenwriter competition.

How to say it?

Very unexpected.

Quite unexpected.

Good guy.

Is it so difficult????

Yu Xiaoshu really didn't expect this.

He originally thought that what Wang Zhen said just now was a bit exaggerated, but now after reading it, he knew that this was not an exaggeration at all, on the contrary, it was a fact.

The real fact.

Wang Zhen is indeed not doing well.

"Teacher Yu."

After Wang Zhen arrived at the lounge, he said politely to Yu Xiaoshu.

"I know you want to be an independent screenwriter, don't worry, our Baiqian Media won't sign you, but I'm going to do a comedy variety show recently. At the same time, I need some young and talented screenwriters. I believe there are many people in this circle who are not met with talent. If you are one, then there must be others."

Yu Xiaoshu said to Wang Zhen: "Where is me, the reason for finding you is very simple. You have screenwriters who are not satisfied with their talents, actors who are not satisfied with their talents, and even those who feel that they are just one chance, you can find them all."

Wang Zhen said: "Teacher Yu, you really want to do comedy variety shows? I just said the comedy variety shows now, there is really nothing to do, I think."

"That's them. All I have to do is tell everyone what is qualified comedy and what is qualified comedy variety show."

Yu Xiaoshu smiled and said, "You are not missing a chance, and I remember you have always written comedy scripts, so it's just right. I won't talk about anything else. When I look back, I'll tell you some plans for this show. You can watch it then, and then decide whether to come."

Yu Xiaoshu has never liked to force others.

He felt that everyone was equal.

Everyone is in a cooperative relationship.

No one expected that Yu Xiaoshu would promote his new program during the roadshow of "Detective Chinatown".

It's really uncommon.

Just now, almost ten minutes after the roadshow, the online discussion was already discussed.

"I'm going, I really didn't expect that Yu Xiaoshu actually wanted to do comedy variety shows."

"The comedy variety shows are already dead now. Is it interesting for Yu Xiaoshu to do comedy variety shows??"

"Yu Xiaoshu is absolutely confident. You know, at present, the "Detective Chinatown" has only started for three days. As a result, Yu Xiaoshu no longer promotes the movie, but instead starts to promote comedy variety shows??"

"Awesome, Yu Xiaoshu is awesome, but I still want to remind Yu Xiaoshu, that is, since 2016, domestic comedy variety shows have basically been no longer possible, because everyone is all the same old tricks. What else do you think there is to do??"

"Not only that, take some actors in comedy variety shows as examples. Sometimes these actors basically have to participate in three or four variety shows. Do you think about this??"

...

For a moment, the discussion on the Internet about Yu Xiaoshu's coming-of-com variety show was quite busy.

But no matter what, everyone still has some confidence in Yu Xiaoshu.

This confidence comes from the comedy movie written by Yu Xiaoshu.

In this regard, Yu Xiaoshu is indeed his ancestor.

Many times, comedy movies are more difficult to write, and comedy scripts are more difficult to write because sometimes you think it’s funny, but for many people, they think it’s so fucking garbage.

The commonalities of comedy are not the same.

Everyone's funny points are also different.

At this time, it's too difficult to make a good comedy movie.

However, Yu Xiaoshu has written several successful comedy movies. I won’t talk about it before. The currently released "Detective Chinatown" may really create a miracle that is not big or small.

Because there are four days left in the National Day holiday, but starting today, the fourth day of the National Day holiday, the number of screenings of "Detective Chinatown" is gradually increasing.

Among them, whether it is "The Return" or the remaining movies, the schedule is basically reduced, especially "The Return" may be due to other reasons, and the attendance rate of this movie is decreasing.

On the contrary, the movie "Detective Chinatown" has increased, and the attendance rate of this movie has also increased.

In this way, during the remaining four days of National Day, the box office of "Detective Chinatown" has not fallen. Not only has it not fallen, but on the contrary, it has also achieved a counter-down decline.

That's right.

For seven consecutive days, the box office of "Detective Chinatown" did not exceed 300 million in a single day, but it has always remained above 200 million.

I won’t say how rare this is.

In fact, in recent times, there have been many discussions about comedy being dead. Previous comedy movies have indeed had high box offices. No matter at any time, a comedy movie can often bring high box office.

Especially everyone thinks that the cost of comedy movies is also low.

In this way, we naturally have to make a good comedy movie from this perspective.

Because the risk is low.

But then everyone got tired of it.

Just like if you always eat delicacies, you will vomit.

And the comedy is dead is something that many people are talking about.

The comedy movie is dead.

Comedy variety show is dead.

The whole comedy died, too.

Now, who is still doing comedy???

In such an atmosphere, Yu Xiaoshu actually did a lot of things that were a bit unconventional.

But there is no way.

Who made him Yu Xiaoshu?

What was even more desperate was that Yu Xiaoshu could succeed, but many of the people who followed him were all disappointed.

Yu Xiaoshu's success cannot be replicated.

This is the bloody lesson that many people have learned.
