Comedy can be said to be a very amazing type of movie, because basically any standard for evaluating the quality of a movie can be infinitely lowered in a comedy. As long as you are funny, this is a good movie! And comedy can also be said to be the easiest and most difficult movie to make. I say that he is simple because looking at Chinese movies, you can come here with a cat or dog, no matter what he is doing, as long as he is famous, as long as he is rich, as long as he wants to make movies, then it is definitely going to be a comedy. Why are domestic comedies so good? Because we have the four treasures of comedy! "Speaking Northeastern dialect, pretending to be a girl, making funny faces, and talking about online jokes" There are these four treasures, really, as long as you don't tremble in front of the camera, you can make comedies in China. It’s easier to understand that comedy is the hardest movie to make. A grimace appears once "Oh, I wiped", "Oh, I wiped" twice, or "Oh, I wiped" appears three times; but a scene appears once. "Hahaha", "Hahaha" appeared twice, and "Uh..." appeared three times. Ten years ago, we saw that Guo Degang can go forward and backward, but now it is this feeling that Guo Degang and "Like Qian" are really embarrassing.
I accidentally complained about a domestic comedy. Let’s talk about the movie below, let’s not talk about the plot, anyway, this is a typical Melissa McCarthy movie. In summary, it is babbling, babbling, babbling, babbling. I call this type of film a "mouthpiece film" that promotes the development of the plot based on one after another silly jokes. The representative figures are the white fat Melissa, and the white fat Seth Rogen!
Throughout the history of comedy development, we can find that people’s aesthetics of comedy has changed rapidly due to the non-repeatability of stems. Twenty years ago, Julia Roberts, Jim Carrey, Adam Sandler and many other big smiles created a "light comedy of love" that swept everything. It was an era of steady profit and no loss, and then followed Sandra Bu Locke's "fake marriage" is back to light, and the light comedy of love has completely faded out of the historical stage. At the same time, the American faction and the Judd Apatou gang swept through the hard disk of our college students. Today, the "escort parents" have also come back. After returning to the photos, people are sighed, it’s really nothing. Good shot. As for the mouthpiece film, Kevin Smith's "sales clerk gang" opened up a world, and it seems that it has ushered in the peak of his career in recent years. But to be honest, the higher you stand, the worse you will fall. Just talking about Seth Rogen and Melissa McKinsey, it is really a bit of aesthetic fatigue to laugh.
For commercial films, the ones that make money are good films. Let’s take a look at what our male goddess has done in the past two years. Let’s only consider typical "mouth cannon films":
Seth Rogen: Big Belly (2007), Too Bad (2007), Pineapple Express (2008), Erotic Selfie (2008), I Want to Be a Police (2009), Green Hornet (2010), Paul (2011) , New Neighborhood Neighborhood (2012), Tangled Journey (2012), Doomsday (2013), Neighbor War (2014), Interview (2014), Christmas Eve (2015), Neighbor War 2 (2016)
Melissa McCarthy: Bridesmaid (2011), Forty and Confused (2012), Hot Police Flower (2013), Tammy's Travel (2014), Female Spy (2015), Boss (2016), Super Expendables (2016)
I don’t know if I’m surprised when I talk about it, it’s almost like a New Year’s movie, one or more a year, but it’s getting harder and harder to get a score of 6 or more. Why? Aesthetic fatigue, at least as far as I am concerned, looking at the dumb looks of these two fat guys, there is really no cuteness anymore! In other words, I can’t laugh anymore! Maybe for our lovely male gods and goddesses, it's really time to slow down, accumulate some foundation, and stop spending all these things on your own "basic disk"! Please don't let my favorite movie film die so quickly in the efficient film industry of the assembly line!
Talking about it, I want to complain about domestic comedies. When talking about domestic comedies, many people say Stephen Chow, but to be honest, Stephen Chow and Wang Jing really made a very bad start to our comedy, because we are still playing today. With the title "Wu Li Tou", filming a "farce" that is not a comedy! What "three smiles, gifted scholars and beautiful ladies", "make a big trouble in Tianzhu", can this also be called a movie? If you can tell jokes, please talk about cross talk, and if you can somersault, please go play a monkey, okay! Is our domestic comedy really inseparable from the "four treasures of comedy" now? Film is an art. It needs a professional artist to complete it. Every big coffee should not feel good about being a director or an actor anymore. You can make movies without taking selfies with your mobile phone. You can speak Northeastern dialects and tell cold jokes. Can make comedy! Zhao Benshan’s ability to shoot "fallen leaves back to roots" does not mean that comedians are all good actors. Please respect your celebrities, movies, audiences, and comedies!
