A "boring" spoof
In 2000, a spoof show on TV, "The Stupid Funny Show" was enthusiastically sought after by the audience, because there were many incredible crazy experiences in the show, such as standing naked in front of the fire brigade; inviting passersby to beat the protagonist; Wrapped in a plastic bubble to make a human raft; stand in a urinal full of urine, turn the urinal upside down, take a bath with urine, drink the semen of a racehorse to identify the taste. This movie is in a whole, funny, funny, suicidal style Adventure is the highlight of the show, because of its realistic and rebellious production method, it has attracted a lot of attention, and it has also caused a lot of controversy in the market. For Johnny Knoxville, the creator and star of this show, the show is not as "terrible" as the public thinks: "I have always been surprised, why do people think this show is terrible and terrible? I think it's just a more extreme pursuit of life. Everyone should have such an idea in their minds, walking on the street and suddenly jumping up and patting people on the forehead, and suddenly standing on the conference table when the company is in a meeting. Pee, turn over the shelves in the supermarket. These impulses are common to everyone, but everyone may not dare to do it. And "Funny Ass" just flashes these in people's minds. The idea of turning it into reality, making it seriously, and showing it to everyone. I don’t think it’s terrible, because it doesn’t actually hurt others, but it does take courage to do these things. So, I think "Fools "Funny Show" is a show that shows everyone's courage. This kind of courage is very rare."
In 2002, "The Stupid Funny Show" first appeared on the screen. This documentary film with an investment of only 5 million yuan received enthusiastic support from young audiences once it was released. The box office in North America alone exceeded US$60 million. Four years later, the sequel of "Funny Show" once again won 84.62 million worldwide box office. Now it is four years later, and the latest episode of "Funny Show" will be released soon. Looking back on the past successes, Johnny Knoxville said with emotion: "I and director Jeff Tremayne are A very serious mentality is working on this series, because we think this is a "boring" work. The reason why it is said to be boring is because the movie really has no meaning. What the audience think, so some people don’t admit that this is a movie, and I also understand it. However, boredom does not mean that we are frivolous. On the contrary, the attitude of making the whole movie is very serious. I think even this is a spoof Movies that bring laughter and surprise to the audience shouldn’t be treated as a child’s play. In particular, there are indeed some scenes in the movie that are very dangerous. If we don’t take it seriously, the consequences will be a disaster. Therefore, the first two episodes of " "Funny Guys" has a good box office after it was released, and the sales of DVDs are also very impressive. I think this is a recognition of the serious attitude of the audience. Therefore, in the third episode, Jeff Trey and I Mayne still maintains this serious attitude. We hope that this time "Jackass 3D" is the best and most memorable "boring" work."
Regarding the spoof spirit in the film, Jeff Tremayne, who has been the director of the film and is also the boss and friend of Johnny Knoxville, said: "More than ten years ago, I just met John When Ni Knoxville, he was fascinated by his many spoof ideas. Nowadays, people are too closed and unwilling to communicate with others. The Internet and mobile phones are also slowly drawing people away. And Johnny Knoxville’s show actually brought everyone together again. Think about it. When Johnny Knoxville makes very powerful moves by your side, can you remain indifferent? Don’t you laugh and cheer together? Johnny Knoxville is not an independent performer. In his show, everyone involved did not watch. Everyone completed the whole show together, so I think this is the case. Prank shows are of educational significance to people nowadays. In these thrilling and nasty shows, you can show the true side that you usually don't dare to show. I think this kind of spoof spirit is worth promoting."
3D help out spoof game
The latest episode of "Jackass 3D" caters to the current 3D trend in the film industry, and has also been made into a 3D version. Regarding the 3Dization of the movie this time, Johnny Knoxville said: "This is what I have planned for a long time. It is definitely not a follow-up, because "The Stupid Funny Show" is really no longer suitable for 3D. Think about it, We are like performing to you in front of you. This is something that every audience in the movie theater will feel shocked. 3D can give us the greatest release of the idea of making "The Stupid Funny Show". This is the past 10,000 TVs. The show cannot give the audience the charm. So we spent a lot of effort on the 3D shooting of this film, everything must be done from scratch, especially the performance process, we must cooperate with the 3D shooting to highlight the immersive experience The 3D characteristics of the film made the preparation cycle of the film longer than expected. However, in the end we finished the filming on time."
Regarding the many controversies that "Jackass 3D" may cause again, Johnny Knoxville expressed quite disdain: "I think "Funny Show" is a very good movie. It is not as unbearable as those people said. , A film that shows everyone how to challenge the limit, it is impossible to teach the public, this is an R-rated film, not for children, and adults should know what we are doing. Ten years ago, " When "Fools' Funny Show" was launched, some people said that our show would bring people negative emotions. In fact, how many people were bad because of our show ten years ago? On the contrary, I saw It’s just that more and more TV stations have started to follow the example of "Funny Show" and produce more similar shows. My entire production team and I took great pains to accomplish many dangerous things, and there is a price to pay for doing these things. , And I don’t care about these dangers, I just hope that the audience will be satisfied with our efforts."
As for the dangers encountered during the filming of this film, Johnny Knoxville recalled that he still had some lingering fears: "I am not really worried because I have spent more than ten years in this way. Very experienced. What worries me is the other newly joined members, especially when we were shooting various unexpected situations. We once designed a group of people to collide with an object without breaking their heads. In the actual shooting, there will always be actors who deviate from our pre-designed route, and the price of this deviation is bloodshed. Therefore, we will have medical staff in every scene of the filming, and we will also give Each actor is insured, and the design of each action will be considered repeatedly in advance. This is indeed a dangerous game, but my responsibility is to take every possible danger into consideration and minimize it. "
