Foreword: The happy twist team has gone from brilliance to downturn. This article will compare the happy twist series of "The Richest Man in Xihong City" and "Li Cha's Aunt". Why two comedy movies of the same team, no matter from business Or there is such a big difference in the degree that the audience likes it. Z1z I specifically have four aspects: audience fantasy satisfaction, character creation, scenario design, and joke design for analysis.
comedy is one of the most popular genres in recent years. It is the common choice of many countries to come to confront Hollywood with local comedies. Many viewers, including me, choose to watch a comedy movie in their free time. It is all very easy.
comedy movies not only gain the audience’s love, but also win commercial success, because the film itself has aesthetic value, and the film belonging to the category of art has aesthetic value. In Kant’s words, the pleasure of aesthetics is "the only thing The pleasure of freedom of interest".
Most of the comedy movies I have watched were made by the happy twist team, such as the early "Donkey Gets Water", "Charlotte Trouble", and "The Shameful Iron Fist" to the two mentioned today Movies, happy twist movies make me "laugh out loud" to I feel "low jokes" .
This article will compare the happy twist series of "The Richest Man in Xihong City" and "Li Cha's Aunt". Why is the difference between the two comedy movies of the same team so big today? I will divide it into four areas: audience Fantasy satisfaction, character creation, scenario design, joke design.
01, audience fantasy satisfaction
Guo Jingming's "Little Era" series, except for the "little ridicule" of various "experts" on this series, this series of movies really earned enough box office and many female audiences like it. Efforts to amplify the masculine charm, adapt to the female Xiaofei economy in the film industry, satisfy the appreciative interest of female audiences, and even similar "chick movies" have emerged in China.
Therefore, before studying the movie itself, the analysis of the audience's desire is the most important thing.
The protagonist of the movie "The Richest Man in Xihong City" protagonist Wang Fu is a downcast and fired player in the year of Li Li. He has a wretched and despicable personality. What he has experienced is the reality of the bottom of society. Wang Fu has been in an awkward position in his career. But it is always powerless to change. In the way of daydreaming, Wang Fufu insisted on morality and love, obtained huge fortune, realized the desire of the public to become rich overnight, satisfied the fantasy of you, me and others as ordinary people, and gave the audience spirit. comfort.
and "The Aunt of Li Cha" protagonist Huang Canghai "pretends" to be Li Cha's single aunt, acting as a male disguised as a female. Because Li Cha is engaged, everyone wants to get the aunt's property. Mr. Liang is the upper class, and the net pass Touching wine maliciously touched the fake aunt’s chest, Li Cha, Jerry, and the fake aunt squashed all over the bed. Everyone was obsessed with aphrodisiacs. They took three shots on the shoulders, which was a "date". Full of a variety of low-level tastes. is designed for exaggeration and unreasonable taste. The audience fantasies are not only not satisfied, they may even feel disgusted.
Therefore, the operation of the film and the dream is similar. Through decoration and movement, the deep-level instincts are displayed reasonably through disguise, and the audience's sense of voyeurism and fantasy are greatly satisfied, so a successful comedy Movies must have a design that satisfies the audience's instincts, and this design must be reasonable.
02, character creation
Personalized character creation for works can promote the development of the plot, mobilize the audience’s emotions and show the connotation of the film expression in depth, such as Wu Ma, who witnessed Ah Q’s killing in The True Story of Ah Q, " The madman eldest brother in "Madman’s Diary" is an excellent work. Whether it is the protagonist or the supporting role, the personality of the character is distinct, and all the characters are essential to the work.
In "The Richest Man in Tomatoes", the protagonist Wang Duoyu is a character harlequin. He has inherited a fortune of 30 billion and must spend one billion within a month. In order to spend a billion in a month, he did a lot of stupid things. For example, using a tractor to spread money, spending 40 million to invite the stock god Lafitte to eat, Wang Duoyu spent more and more money at the same time, bringing funny clips to the audience. Including supporting role Xia Zhu's "justice", Xia Zhu's boyfriend is not talking about moneyBut he yielded, but was beaten in the face every minute, his friend Zhuang Qiang was willing to be the "dog" beside Wang Duoyu, the coach and Wang Duoyu got back together, and so on.
As a comedy, every character in "The Richest Man in Xihong City" has the role of a comedy harlequin. These harlequins present the audience with real comics that the audience is willing to believe.
On the other hand, "Lee Cha’s Aunt", the protagonist is the "fake" aunt played by Huang Hailun. The people around him are trying to please the fake aunt. Because of the many roles, everyone's personality is not tenable. It seems that everyone has only one purpose. Just getting money from aunt and doing all kinds of exaggerated actions for the sake of funny, everyone is not the character that must exist.
Although Wang Duoyu is vulgar and uncultured, he has a "nouveau riche temperament", but he is kind and willing to abandon his property in order to save people who have nothing to do with him. Everyone of the stadium coach and Zhuang Qiang plays a role in the development of the plot Therefore, their characteristics are the more important additions to comedy characters. This is the character shaping that comedy movies should achieve. Blindly shaping the characters and funny characters will inevitably reduce the final presentation effect of the movie by half.
03, scenario design
The scenario design of a movie is the key to success. Speaking of "Iron Fist of Shame", Eddie and Ma Xiao exchanged their bodies, and the gender was misplaced. In "Overtime Cohabitation", Lu Ming and Gu Xiaojiao lived together in time in 1999. This has become a major attraction for the movie to attract the audience.
In "The Richest Man in Xihong City", the situational design is that inappropriate characters enter the inappropriate space. In the film, Wang Chuan from the bottom society enters the upper society because of his accidental inheritance. What Wang Chuan experiences is the reality of people at the bottom of the society. Wang Fufu is incompatible with the new environment. Although he has a nasty and despicable personality, Wang Fufu sticks to morals and values love and justice. This is the shining point of the character.
When Wang Fu had to spend 1 billion in a month, he did not conceal the "nouveau riche" nature of Wang Fu, and entered the upper society for himself. In order to meet the environment of the upper society, ordinary meals can no longer be eaten and must be changed. Get rid of the previous "bad habits". Although this is Wang Chuan's design to complete the class leaping, he encountered a secretary who was unwilling to make false accounts. The more he earned more money, the money was being recovered and other unlucky situations. After entering the inappropriate space, Wang Chuan became more and more unlucky. Such a scenario design promotes the development of the film and is a key part of the success of the entire film. In "The Aunt of Li Cha",
uses dislocation of identity, male disguise as female, fake aunts look different, all kinds of dissimilarities, and the vulgar behaviors done by rich people are not rationalized, which is hard for the audience to believe. Therefore, scenario design is a major prerequisite for the success of comedy movies. An excellent comedy film scenario design must be novel and full of highlights, and this scenario design must be reasonable and legal.
04, joke design
jokes guide people to laugh, also called jokes. As a comedy movie, it is full of baggage and jokes, which can be comedic.
The body jokes and language jokes of "The Richest Man in Xihong City" were unexpected. For example, after Wang Duoyu and his friend Zhuang Qiang had billions in cash, the two of them couldn't stand up and could walk with a chair. The body shape was really funny. Xia Zhu thought that Wang Duoyu was pursuing himself, Wang Duoyu said, "Say I don't want to, the atmosphere is over here, I just want to think about it," he said. Wait, these jokes have never been seen by the audience, which greatly increases the comedy of the movie and promotes the further development of the plot.
Although "Li Cha's Aunt" also has a joke, it is Huang Hailun who pretends to be a woman, triggering the pursuit of all interests. Although the final perfect ending, but the ambiguity between the fake aunt and a few men, not only is there no joke but many The vulgar jokes and sexual cues will not meet the taste of the audience.
Therefore, whether it is verbal jokes or body jokes, a successful comedy should be novel and funny under reasonable circumstances, and it should not be deliberately done. While increasing the point of laughter, it also expresses the focus of the film and becomes the indispensable part of the film. Missing part.
Summary
By comparing "The Richest Man in Xihong City" and "Li Cha's Aunt", the 2 billion box office difference seems to have found the answer.
"Dictionary of Cinematic Art" defines comedy as: "A feature film characterized by the effect of laughter. In general, it has a complete concept and creates comic characters and backgrounds. MainlyThe artistic method is to discover the ridiculous phenomena in life, deal with exaggeration, and achieve the unity of reality and exaggeration. Its purpose is to celebrate beautiful and progressive things or ideals through laughter, or laugh at backwardness, entertain and educate the audience in laughter. Contradictions are often resolved by the positive force overpowering the force. Generally speaking, the ending is more relaxed and happy. "Z2z
, whether it is a comedy movie or another type of movie, should be the first to analyze the audience when analyzing it. The audience’s viewing satisfaction is what commercial movies need to do, and secondly, most audiences subconsciously perceive the world from comedy. Orientation, whether it is joke design, situation design and character creation, comedy movies should be novel and rationalized, and inadvertently convey popular universal values, so that there will be no only nonsense funny.
