Physical comedy
There are many kinds of comedies, and the film's director Frank Krass has set a "physical comedy" tune for the film. Physical comedy, as the name suggests, uses exaggerated physical movements as a joke. This is very different from language comedy. In fact, Frank Klaas is a master of shooting physical comedies. His previous "Remote for Life" and " The Zookeeper " are basically this type of film. It's just that in this comedy about high school teachers going to fight free combat, there will be more and more physical jokes.
Regarding the source of the film’s jokes, Frank Krass said: "The jokes in this movie are mainly from the actions of Kevin George Knipfing. You know, seeing a chubby fat man fight brutal free fights is itself. There is enough jokes, plus his exaggerated body movements, some special effects shots, this will be very fun. The comic effects of the whole movie, almost all appear on James, and the other characters, in this movie There are almost all foils. The existence of those characters is to allow James to better show his comedy talent-this is not to say that these characters are not important, but in the distribution of jokes, our film has This feature is just that." Kevin George Knipfing, who is always beaten in the film, said: "This movie is very fun, and the physical jokes are also in line with my personal characteristics. In this movie, I play a very sad little character. Always on the verge of falling and climbing. Moreover, in many shots, my character often loses without a fight. It’s very fun to find myself a step down. However, even such a character conveys It is also a positive theme. For example, friendship, struggle, optimism, positive, upward, etc. I like this role, because he has a kind of self-discipline and self-defeating element-this is the same as what I have played in the past. The characters have common characteristics."
Actor is the key
The key to a comedy movie is the performance of the actors, because the current Hollywood comedy plots are similar. And "Here Comes the Boom", a film that knows the end after reading the beginning, requires an excellent performance by the actors to allow the audience to sit quietly in their seats and watch the film. Moreover, the performance of the actors can also make the boring or ordinary jokes "magic". For his actor, Frank Krass said: "I am very satisfied, because I have several outstanding actors under my team, such as Kevin George Knipfing, whom I used to collaborate with, and the sexy and beautiful Salma Hayek. Hayek In this movie, she plays an innocent character. To some extent, her sexy and wild nature makes her innocent and clean characteristics explode more intensely. And Kevin George Knipfing plays an innocent role. His own power saved an entire music project teacher. Although he was very downset, he still struggled for his own ideals. I think this character was designed for Kevin George Knipfing, because from the character itself to the character, to the joke Setting, this is all Kevin George Knipfing is good at and familiar with. Therefore, his performance in this movie is like a fish in water. He easily portrayed this role, and he portrayed it very well by Kevin George Knipfing Features."
Speaking of his performance, Kevin George Knipfing said: "I played a hapless guy who is often beaten in this movie. Of course, in the end, it was the same as the movie "Department Police", which was favored by beautiful women. It should be said that starring in this movie is a huge challenge in my entire film career, because I want to do a lot of fighting and stunts in this movie. There are many shots of wrestling and falling. For these shots , I also specially found a coach to train boxing and free fighting for a period of time. These contents are shown in the movie. Of course, although these plots are beaten, they have undergone exaggerated artistic treatment. , Very fun. It’s great to be able to work with Frank Klaas again, because he is a director I like very much. Except for the two of us who are similar in body shape, our views on comedy and the shooting of movies are both We have similar views and tastes, and we still have a good understanding of each other. Sometimes on the set, I don’t need him to say, I know what needs to be done, what kind of performance I need to do in this scene, you can say, We are stinky."
Life is full of sunshine and hope as the screenwriter, starring and producer of "Here Comes the Boom". For comedian Kevin George Knipfing (Kevin James), MMA has always been a topic of great interest to him. One, he also firmly captured all his attention, so he decided to use it as the basis of the story to create a comedy. This sports event that combines viewing and entertainment, combined with boxing, Taekwondo, Karate, Jiu-Jitsu, Judo, Muay Thai and various styles of wrestling techniques, exhausting excitement and wildness, have now developed into one of the most popular sports in the world because of their undifferentiated requirements and functionality. James recalled: "I have been a diehard fan of MMA from start to finish, so I really know the world better than others. Speaking of my addiction to integrated fighting, it can be traced back to 1993. , At the time was still the world of great fighting player Bas Rutten. Since then, I have watched every event without any omissions. I have even seen a lot of great contestants, and From their personal experience, they found that they are not only excellent fighting geniuses. In daily life, they are also amiable and good men at home. They are not as cruel and violent as in the ring or you expected." Such a huge contrast. Kevin George Knipfing left a very deep impression, so he created the character Scott Worth, as a biology teacher who teaches in high school, just when his school’s music class was about to be cancelled, He was also ready to return to the ring. Todd Garner, who appeared as a producer, said: "Scott did not fight for himself, he did it to save another The teacher’s work and the children’s future. He is willing to go to the ring where the iron net is erected all around, just to win the prize money so that the music lessons can be retained. As a result, this unselfish appeal he launched has brought him An unexpected extra return came—Scott’s great act of sacrificing the ego not only created a miracle, but also put his life back on track. In fact, Scott has lived a life lost for many years. He found that he was becoming more and more indifferent and indifferent to everything, but the experience of participating in fighting competitions and winning in order to save the school’s music class gave him a whole new motivation and energy."
