The kernel of comedy is tragedy , and Shen Teng 's kernel is contradiction and awkward.
Starting from " Charlotte Troubles ", he won 20 billion yuan in just 6 years, and seemed to take over Stephen Chow and become the "new comedy king".
Some people say that Shen Teng is a man who grows up on laughing points. He just stands there and does nothing, which can make the audience laugh.
But in the past two years, his humor seems to have been consumed too much. When the audience sees him, they no longer want to laugh, but will think of a word:
pride!
is proud and humorous, stands on the stage without competing for fame and fortune, and the contradictions in him have never left.
01. The "first half of life" of contradiction
Go back to Shen Teng's first half of life, and you will find that this contradiction has always been with him!
In an interview, Shen Teng said that his biggest regret is that he has never suffered.
The family is not wealthy, but it is also wealthy. He has ensured that he has no worries about food and clothing for many years and can still rely on his parents during his career downturn.
In particular, he also has an enlightened and responsible pair of parents, and is committed to cultivating the siblings into literary and artistic workers, which is indeed successful.
sister Shen Na is one of the three soprano in China and a leader in the industry.
And Shen Teng seems to be the one who is "not good at" at home.
When I was a child, my mother who accompanied me to memorize it, and he was still stuttering in the first paragraph. But fortunately, I am smart and can do my sister’s senior grade questions after a little research.
went to high school and didn't even know what university I wanted to take in the future or what major I studied. My plan for life is about 0. I can only wait for the family to "arrange".
Just like that, he passively chose military art.
Because the school is pretty good, my sister can take care of him at school. Because of his handsome appearance, I believe there is a way out for literary and artistic work.
After all, before gaining weight, the most common sentence he heard was "If you hadn't seen you look good, you would have beaten you long ago" .
But it looks good, and you must have scores when you take the military skills exam. After
got a "target", he started a few months of surprise attacks, and with his hard work and intelligence, he really passed the exam.
When he went to Military Arts to report, he seemed to be a flower that just came out of the greenhouse, and he couldn't even tell the difference between undergraduate and junior college. This also taught him the first lesson in his life.
Because he went late, he was assigned to the junior college dormitory. When the roommate asked him which class he had, he raised his chin and said: What's wrong with ? Are we all from undergraduates, one class!
Then, he was isolated on the grounds of being arrogant.
As a result, I was assigned to the worst bed in the dormitory and blew the fan all night.
The next day, the roommate woke up and saw him lying on the bed, opposite him with a fan covering half of it with a pillowcase.
A funny handsome guy!
Later, after getting familiar with it, he explained that is not pride, but a habit, and I can't help but like to raise my head.
is not proud, but he is cold in his behavior. In school, he suffered a loss due to conflicts for the first time!
Although he has started studying in school, is not willing to learn at all about performance, let alone love , and is only lazy as always.
A handsome military art school grass has already started to take on roles in school and has been favored by many directors. But it all ended because of the bad performance.
Until he was given the title of "performance class representative" by the teacher, the sense of responsibility and honor immediately swept over, and the talent began to awaken.
On the stage, there is no script performance, and his improvisation can bring cheers.
A scene where he was shot in a show, he ran off the stage in a panic and lay down on the spot, leaving only two legs for the audience. He said: I am a wounded man who was "blown" and my body was bombarded too far.
At this time, the teacher knew that in the comedy field, Shen Teng's performance was enough, and the rest was to develop on the stage of the movie.
Teacher’s evaluation of Shen Teng is:
is talented and handsome, and will definitely have an irreplaceable position in idol dramas in the future.
Later, he did not enter idol dramas, but came into the comedy that was not important in his face.
02. The "contradictory family" who loves performance but not fame and fortune
In 2003, a classmate gave him a comedy script and asked him if he was interested in going for an interview.
A linked script that he spent all night reading seemed to have found a soul-fitting partner. The next day, he went for an interview and his unit was , happy mess .
A lazy and arrogant sitting posture, a bottle of real white wine, he performed a funny and ridiculous posture of a drunkard, attracted the leader and successfully joined.
Later on, it is common for many years to lie on the Happy Twist stage, performing dramas, writing jokes, and staying up all night for a burden.
He just likes it and doesn't talk about income. He won't be hungry anyway. Shen Teng called this period of time the "old-living period".
There are as many audiences under the stage as there are actors on the stage, which is common for Happy Twist. The most bleak game only sold four tickets.
team leaders were waiting for the audience to arrive at the entrance of the troupe, and personally "persuaded to return". Not only did they apply for the refund one by one, but they also reimburse the round-trip fee because they really couldn't afford it.
Stage, venue, lighting, props, the cost is much more than the price of 4 tickets, and they have not made a profit for a long time.
But Shen Teng was not in a hurry. He said that before he was 30 years old, he had never had goals or pressure, only likes and persistence.
Fortunately, this persistence has achieved results.
From 4 audiences who were persuaded to withdraw to dozens of drama performances, he and Happy Twist ushered in a period of explosive career, with their popularity and popularity increasing day by day.
is also on such a stage, and he was noticed by the director of the Spring Festival Gala Hawen .
Ha Wen said when she invited Shen Teng, you can stick to your style and works, and you can act whatever you want, as long as you are willing to bring laughter to the audience.
So, in " Today's Happiness ", he became the worker of "human epidermal dirt studies", and audiences across the country remembered the pretentious and humble "mom~".
For a long time after that, Shen Teng was not Shen Teng, but Hao Jian.
Sometimes people are recognized on the road and start saying from afar: isn’t Hao Jian!
staff will also respectfully call him "Teacher Hao" .
At that time, Shen Teng was not happy because of fame and fortune, but was painful and dissatisfied. He doesn't want to be defined by Hao Jian, and he is not satisfied with the only one in his life.
Fortunately, he waited for an opportunity to meet " Happy Comedy ".
On the stage, his burdens came one after another, all the way to the finals.
When preparing for the championship battle, he endured countless nights and thought about countless burdens that could make the audience laugh.
He was eager to justify himself, full of confidence, and was in chaos. Before the finals of
, he suddenly made a decision and wanted no burden. He acted in the silent drama , paying tribute to his idol Chaplin.
So he walked into the spotlight with a crutch, a top hat, and a mustache.
A sketch actor without lines won applause for this superb performance.
That night, Shen Teng won the championship, and the name Hao Jian was gradually forgotten.
Immediately afterwards, the movie "Charlotte's Troubles" starring him was released. A small-cost movie was like a dark horse, impacting the capital market and heading into the audience.
"What kind of plum, what kind of plum, what kind of plum" has become a hot topic on the Internet, and " Charlotte " made Shen Teng get rich overnight.
has been on the Spring Festival Gala stage for four consecutive years, the champion of "Happy Comedy", and "Charlotte" was born. In 2015, Shen Teng successfully turned over and became a "big star".
When others asked about his experience, he said shyly:
I am very embarrassed, I am a person who has never suffered. I have never lived in the basement, and I only ate instant noodles because I was greedy. I have been going smoothly until today, and I have no topic of discussion.
It is true that there is no topic of talk, and the fame and fortune that swept over is also true.
script floats like snowflakes, and the producer "smashed" Shen Teng with a high-priced pay, but he refused one by one. In the interview, he said:
I like comedy, but I don’t want to consume myself.
But at this point, things are no longer in control.
03. After Charlotte, Shen Teng almost became a box office guarantee. "Crazy Alien" by
and Huang Bo , the satirical and fantasy " Richest Man in Xihong City ", and " Han Han 's " Speeding Life ", etc. Shen Teng's funny style has made another hilarious era after Zhao Benshan .
But while becoming famous, he also redefined guest appearances and friendly appearances.
" Shameful Iron Fist ", his shot was only a few minutes long, but with a gesture of "Come here", countless viewers rushed into the cinema one after another.
In "Li Cha's Aunt", he just plays a pastor, but stands almost in the middle of the poster.
And in "Hotel 4th, ", he once again appeared in the form of a human-shaped card, which became a gimmick of publicity, and the promotion and distribution of the film almost all revolved around Shen Teng.
The audience came out again and again because of Shen Teng’s visit to the cinema and again “deception”!
left with excitement and returned with excitement.
Later, his film output became less and less, and instead became active on the variety show stage. The "false nerve" combination composed of
and Jia Ling and laughed and played on the stage, one meme after another, became the guarantee of the show's ratings.
The more frequently they meet, the more they make the audience discover that Shen Teng has become a "professional comedian" rather than a dreamer.
because of the contradictions in him, it gradually became invisible and gradually expanded.
The real Shen Teng is slow to warm up, arrogant, and independent of the world.
In the university dormitory, he listened to his roommate's jokes and only said in his heart: What kind of mess is talking about? Let me see what I'm familiar with.
He doesn't fit in that kind of excitement and is alone and awkward. He is not willing to open up the conversation until everyone gets familiar with it.
After he walked onto the stage, he never relied on exaggerated expressions and body twisting to exchange for applause, but only used humor and the burden of staying up late. When he walks off the stage, he will "change his face" in seconds, and is serious, cold and serious. people around him commented on him, is just laziness, but introvert.
He said that he is a person who can't use money to make money, "Who is not a little bit of character yet as an artist?"
Shen Teng’s character is more powerful than others.
When the classmates were all going to the crew to "please take in" one by one in order to accumulate experience, he never did such a thing: I am handsome and skillful, and only the scripts are found, I will not take the initiative to find them.
He longs for someone to discover his talent, but he is disdainful to put down his figure and show his talent. No wonder some people say that Shen Teng’s core is contradiction and opposition.
But it is not difficult to find that its core is being eaten up little by little.
sketches, cameo appearances in movies, and franchise variety shows. The audience is getting closer and closer to him, but he is getting farther and farther away from the audience. He said it was growth, family responsibility, and he had no choice.After the conflict was destroyed by
, Shen Teng gradually became a "performance artist".
walked onto the stage, and the funny jokes were played at will; walked off the stage, and became familiar and tired in one second. There are fewer and fewer good works in , and are being consumed more and more.
From box office guarantee to box office poison, who destroyed Shen Teng’s contradictions, and Shen Teng himself?
Conclusion:
is stubborn and compromises; contradicts and joins; while being lazy, frequently appear on stage.
In addition to Charlotte, Wang Duoyu , and Shen Guanglin, he may want to be himself more. But when he reaches this position, can he still control his own destiny?
