When I was young, I watched the Spring Festival Gala, and thought every sketch was funny.
When I look at these sketches when I grow up, I find that the one who makes people laugh the longest is Chen Peisi. From the creation of the script to the rhythm of the performance, every burden is snapped. What you can understand as an adult is what it's like to laugh from a big laugh to a bitter one.
Chen Peisi, the top domestic comedy creator, once said: Comedy has a tragic core.
Li Dan, a popular talk show actor among young people, smiled and said that the core of comedy is comedy, but he also said that the world is not worth it.
Will people who dig comedy in life be happy?
The end is where the carnival is, and where is the tragedy to become the king of comedy.
As early as 1982, Martin Scorsese used a "The King of Comedy" to show that the infinite superposition of tragedy is the source of comedy.
This film, which was only nominated for the Palme d’Or, influenced the “Joker” that won the Venice Golden Lion 37 years later and was another milestone in DC.
Compared with the cute madness in the success of "Joker", "The King of Comedy" is a story of a clown who continues to return to the clown after the highlight moment.
The story of "The King of Comedy" is not complicated. The performance of the actors and the transformation of real and fake scenes can be said to be so exciting that people can't help but watch it over and over again.
The real scene is that the popular talk show star Jerry treats the male protagonist Rupa indifferently. The scene in the male protagonist Rupa’s fantasy is Jerry’s affirmation and even pleading for him.
There are a total of three fantasy scenes, and the most exciting is the last time. I roughly traced the story line, and interpreted the plot of the true and false interspersed.
In the opening introduction of the talk show, Jerry walked out to the cheers of the crowd. At the same time, outside are the fans waiting for Jerry to perform and the old fritters who want to sign their signatures.
It didn't take long for Jerry to walk out of the show after the show, and Jerry's fans saw him, just like the madness of today's little fresh meat fans when they saw the idol, and the crowd was boiling.
Only Rupa calmly watched Jerry's movements, and then slowly approached him.
After the crazy female fan was dragged out of the car by the security guard, with the assistance of Rupa, Jerry finally got into the car successfully in the chaos, and Rupa also got on the car.
Along the way, Rupa promoted himself in front of Jerry, saying that he was ready to go to Jerry's talk show.
Jerry told him: Without experience, you can't get on stage.
Rupa begged Jerry to listen to his work. Jerry asked Rupa to call his office and said he would listen to it.
When he got out of the car, Rupa reluctantly wanted to further narrow the distance between himself and Jerry, and proposed to invite Jerry for dessert.
After being rejected, he offered to ask Jerry to accept a picture as a gift. When he parted, he praised Jerry as a prince. (Jerry, You're a prince.)
At this time Rupa was standing under the red carpet, watching Jerry above walk into the hotel.
Rupa looked down at the handkerchief given by Jerry in his hand, fantasizing that Jerry and himself had dinner together in the restaurant for many years. This was the first fantasy scene.
In this fantasy, Jerry has become an exuberant talk show actor. From the beginning, he was very grateful to Rupa for having dinner with him.
Jerry complained to Rupa about the pressure and ratings. In the middle-aged crisis, Jerry begged Rupa to do a 6-week show for him.
This scene is the most obvious and clearly fantasy scene. When Rupa was immersed in his own fantasy, his mother who lived with him kept calling him. This call of voice penetrated the real scene and came to the fantasy scene.
Rupa also stood on the left and right to switch the dialogue between the two in the fantasy.
In addition to this linguistic fantasy and scene switching in reality, the clothes of the two actors are also an important distinction.
In real life, when Rupa and Jerry meet, there must be two people in the picture wearing red clothes or red ties.
This kind of redness is particularly dazzling in reality, and none of the gaps in class, status, status, and rank are not dazzling.
The image of Rupa created in the film is particularly interesting in that he is completely a failure in life, has no career, no girlfriend, and lives with his mother.
For a woman she likes, she will only brag in front of her that she will definitely lead her to flourish when she becomes popular, plus from time to time fantasies about how happy she will be after success.
This kind of tuned person makes it hard to imagine that he will succeed, because he is a downright bottom.
After the farewell date with the goddess, the goddess asked Rupa to sit up and sit down. Anyone who has watched a lot of American TV shows or American movies will understand that this is implying a one-night stand.
Rupa said that he was serious and sincerely invited the goddess to go to Jerry's summer villa with him on weekends.
Back home, Rupa greeted him kindly with the black-and-white printed character Jerry, and there were only pure red, black and white in the picture. Jerry sits in the red guest chair and talks with the black and white printed characters, practicing his performance on Jerry's program.
After calling Jerry many times to no avail, Rupa decided to go to Jerry's company to find him, but he couldn't see Jerry himself. All he could do was to wait while sitting in the waiting area.
After communicating with Jerry's secretary, it was agreed that I would bring a recording next time.
When I walked out of the building, I met Jerry's crazy female fan. It turned out that the two had known each other a long time ago. The previous acquaintance with Jerry was due to the collusion of the two.
Rupa returned home and started recording enthusiastically. At this time, only the beginning of Rupa's recording was shown. It can be seen that it was very jerky, and the content of the formal talk show was deliberately not shown.
While waiting for Jerry's secretary to respond, Rupa looked at the portrait of Jerry on the wall. Falling into a fantasy, this is the second fantasy in the film.
Every time Rupa could only be in the waiting area, watching the secretary walk into the work area partitioned by transparent frosted glass and blue walls.
In Rupa's imagination, Jerry's office is romantic, with blue fluorescent lights, clean stainless steel pillars, simple and transparent glass tables and chairs.
In this romantic atmosphere, Jerry praised Rupa for his unique excellence that makes people jealous.
I looked at my whole life, I thought it was useless, but it became a little funny. Rupa said in fantasy.
In fantasy, Jerry said that Rupa could be on the show on weekends. Rupa suggested that he had a special girl who was the goddess he had dated before.
Rupa had a third fantasy while waiting for Jerry to finish listening to his own recording. He continued to fantasize about being a guest on the Jerry show, and on the show, he completed his wedding with the goddess.
At this time, Jerry's secretary came over and said that his recording was not very good. Rupa, unwilling to let Jerry hear his own recording, broke into the office area.
This office area is blue in imagination and gentle and romantic, but in reality the office area is red and indifferent.
In the next scene, Rupa and the goddess dressed in formal clothes are on the train preparing to go to Jerry's summer villa.
The design of the film here is very ingenious. The first fantasy is interspersed with real shouts and conversations. It is very clear. The second and third fantasy are very close in time, and there is no clear language.
When I first saw it, it was easy to misunderstand Rupa's future success and fame.
And from the second fantasy to be appreciated, to the third marriage on the show, this time Rupa and the goddess are going to go to Jerry like visiting friends.
The connection between fantasy and reality is so natural that I saw them come to Jerry's mansion, dance and sing naturally, and wait for Jerry to return from playing golf.
It wasn't until Jerry came back that he drove them out angrily, only to reveal that in reality Rupa was still a total loser, and he did not succeed.
The three fantasy details are very exciting. If you look at the past inadvertently, it is exactly when the male protagonist Rupa pointed to Jerry after many years, and was appreciated for the first time on the show about the future of marriage.
These plots are also completely justifiable.
Except for the distinction between the red on the clothes of the two and the fantasy of the scene, the three fantasy scenes are all turned on and tilted towards the night.
Daydreaming makes people laugh, but the night gently envelops all wishful thinking.
Rupa, who was rejected and kicked out many times, finally joined forces with Jerry's crazy female fans.
Kidnapped Jerry with a fake gun, hoping to complete a home show by threatening Jerry.
Whether Rupa has a talent for comedy is actually hidden in the details in the film.
Without a serious job and living with his mother, what is intuitively manifested is his downfall and low-level identity.
In the self-talking dialogue, he took it for granted that he would be the king of talk show madness.
When I first saw Jerry, he only said that he had completed the education of the talk show, but he asked if there was an actual performance.
But the clues can be seen in the details. He casually came to the life and gossip of Hollywood stars when he was dating the goddess, and he knew the pop culture well.
For the talk show star Ernie Kovac, he said that he is a great comedian and innovator.
When he was in Jerry's mansion, he counted photos of the stars placed on the fireplace, from the youngest clown Zippo to Ray Charles to the stalker in the Jerry show.
He is not ignorant of talk show comedy performances.
Even during the kidnapping of Jerry during the day, Jerry was dumbfounded because of the inverted order of the word boards. In the evening, Rupa can be written directly into a joke and put on the talk show.
He is keen to capture comedy, and he exercises his talent for talk show in his self-talking day after day.
The short 5-minute joke is the parents who wanted to throw him back to the hospital in childhood. It was the parents who were drunk in childhood, the vomit left by him, and the experience of being beaten and vomited by his father.
As a teenager, he was beaten every week in school, but the teacher ignored the violence in school.
When he was young, he was ignored by Jerry, unable to break through prejudice and class. In the end, the kidnapping of Jerry was all wrapped up in the story.
To become famous overnight is too costly.
The only way I can enter the showbiz is to kidnap Jerry. Rupa said.
A person who has failed and achieved nothing in his life can only enter the entertainment circle through extreme means at the cost of being sentenced to six years in prison.
He was released early in two years and nine months.
Finally, in a dazzling red, he took the stage to perform, and the audience finally cheered.
This is a career success, and a person's half-life suffering.
All the pain is packaged into jokes to make people like it. A person's real pain is not contagious, but laughter is okay.
It is a cruel thing to make painful pleasure, and we have become accustomed to laughing about it.
When Rupa stood under the red carpet and looked at Jerry in the distance, now Rupa and Hong merged into one. The nourishment of the highlight moment is years of suffering, after success, he became a symbolic clown.
In Hollywood, the top vanity fair, those successful and unsuccessful kings of comedy burst into laughter.
