Different from ordinary comedy variety shows, it has high standards and strict requirements from the beginning. From a professional point of view, dig deep into the core and essence of comedy.
Every time after listening to the tutor's comments, the members of the student area are amazed: it's too strict and too difficult! The strictness of the tutor's requirements can be seen.
Just after the first issue, I was deeply attracted by the palace-level comments of two masters, Peisi Chen and Degang Guo.
As the originator of the sketch world in China, Mr. Peisi Chen has dedicated countless classic and unforgettable works to us. It has also become an indelible memories of youth for our post-70s and 80s generation.
I didn't expect Mr. Chen, who is humorous and full of jokes on the stage, to comment on students quite rigorously, professionally and mercilessly.
After the performance of Li and Gao Haibao's essay "I can't forget", when everyone was still immersed in the work and deeply moved by it, Mr. Chen seriously expressed his views: this work has always been in the result, and there is no process at all.
As soon as this was said, it suddenly made people feel like finding a bone in an egg. But after Mr. Chen's in-depth analysis, I feel that this is indeed the case. The burden at work is very good. Shake it right, but the infiltration process is a bit short.
A good work is not to let the audience see the result at the beginning, but to let people guess each other, go deeper and deeper bit by bit, and slowly let people follow the process to the result.
This kind of high-level requirement for comedy creation may be so profound and insightful only by real comedy masters.
Also, when commenting on crosstalk actor Wu Nanyan's last kick to partner Wang Zhibo, Mr. Chen popularized the concept of "typing" for us.
When an actor is performing, in order to reduce the pain of hitting, he will use two special bamboo batches, wrapped in thin sheepskin, and beat the time neatly. This is called "beating".
The subtlety is enough to illustrate his craftsman attitude towards artistic Excellence.
Sheng Wei, Tianjin's eldest brother, won unanimous praise from three tutors.
Teacher Chen digs deeper: we should start with actions, but no one is perfect. The more flawed people are, the easier it is to form a character's characteristics. We should look for character behavior from the character's characteristics.
Accurate comments are like professional acting classes.
I have to say, Mr. Peisi Chen's comments on the scene of Gaoka are just like his original intention to participate in this program: to take a fancy to the theoretical depth of this comedy variety and to spread his comedy theory for so many years through this program.
If Peisi Chen is a strict professor, then Degang Guo is much gentler and closer to the people in the program. He is more up and down, and his comments from the audience are more grounded.
At the beginning of the program, when Ying Da modestly said that he had another identity, that is, to learn from two teachers, Degang Guo quickly denied it and joked: Compared with you two, I am a baby. It caused everyone to laugh.
The first essay "The Story of the Security Team", after listening to the professional and accurate comments of Teacher Chen, Degang Guo said: Maybe you can't fully understand what Teacher Chen said, but after listening to what Teacher Ying Da said, you will be completely confused.
As soon as Xu Kejia said that he was on the show for himself, he immediately replied: I don't have that deep martial arts attainments. Learn from me and hit me later.
It made everyone laugh. I really like Miss Guo.
The essay "Never Forget" was written by Mr. Chen. When the two actors were a little frustrated, Degang Guo said it was the best work he had seen so far.
The two teachers stood very high and looked far away, but he just stood in the position of ordinary audience, feeling that the burden was good, the size was right and he liked it very much.
When this statement came out, it attracted applause from the audience.
Tianjin crosstalk actor Sheng Wei performed a sketch. Degang Guo asked: Isn't there two people in cross talk? Why did you come alone? Tell the truth according to the plot in the sketch. Unless your partner goes to Tanggu, you don't have to share the money with him. Everyone is really happy, and they say that the burden is coming.
Later, I seriously commented that the coincidence in some places of the work is not reasonable enough, and it can't be too fake without scrutiny. If a tiny point is played by the audience, he will totally deny the work. Almost reached the hearts of the audience.
Have to say, CCTV invited Degang Guo this time is undoubtedly the most wise choice. He contributed more laughter and joy to the audience.
As the pioneer of China sitcom, Ying Da created a popular and profound "I Love My Family", which set off a viewing frenzy in the 1990s and brought countless laughs to the audience.
Different from Mr. Chen's teaching style and Mr. Guo's mentoring style, he gives priority to encouragement in the program, such as trickling water to nourish students' hearts.
The first program "The Story of the Security Guard" encourages students to learn how to deal with emergencies on the stage, and it would be better if the performance is relaxed. The comments are to the point.
The essay I can't forget praised the actress for her good sense of age.
In Sheng Wei's sketches, the English teacher also gave a high evaluation, praising the excellent rhythm and movements, which showed the audience many possibilities. Love is beyond words.
Throughout the first issue, no matter the performance of the students or the comments of the instructors, they always unconsciously exclaimed: Great! I didn't feel satisfied until the end of the program. It feels so short and so beautiful.
Produced by CCTV, it is really unusual. A really good program is worth looking forward to and recommending!
