The sketch was originally an interview course for the students' artistic quality and basic skills in the entertainment industry. Generally, the teacher of the admission unit gave the questions on the spot and the candidates performed on the spot.
Since 1984, when Peisi Chen and Zhu Shimao's sketch "Eating Noodles" appeared for the first time in CCTV Spring Festival Evening, the literary form that was originally not elegant has entered thousands of households overnight and become an indispensable feast for people.
The essay "Pepper Noodles" is close to pantomime in terms of artistic origin, which highlights the artistic elements of performance skill and action-centered. There are only a few lines in the whole program, and the rest are all body language. However, this body language reveals the psychological activities of the characters and depicts their personalities. From Mr. Zhu Shimao's careful cleaning of tableware, we can see not only an intellectual's love for cleanliness, but also his elegance; During the play, his repeated forbearance shows his cultivation; From the moment he tossed his head before he left the stage, he saw the dignity he had to maintain after being wronged. Mr. Peisi Chen, who hides a bowl as soon as he goes on stage and goes off stage, can see that this man is not only rude, but also has a low education and poor quality, but he is kind and fair. For example, he seriously wants to put the pepper noodle bottle between them, and he gesticulates when he thinks that the other party wants to use pepper, as if to say: Don't mention it, just use it! The whole program uses "misunderstanding method", which is from Peisi Chen's misunderstanding of pepper noodles as "public goods" and advances step by step, with ups and downs, ups and downs, climax, delicacy and completeness. Although there is no language, there is a contrast and conflict between their inner feelings and ideological activities under the external entanglement of their bodies. Highlight the action to structure the story, show the characters' hearts, and make the characters more vivid and closer to life.
From the artistic effect, the essay "Pepper Noodles" focuses more on the leisure function of art. Although there is no major theme, it allows us to be entertained with a relaxed smile.
