I don't know if you have noticed that a kind of TV play, ancient costume comedy, has become popular quietly.
When it comes to this kind of play, recently, such as Zhao Benshan's "Legend of Magpie Dao Men" and Bi's "I have a friend". If we go back, we must mention the old joke library of "Wulin Foreign Swordsman" and "Longmen Security Bureau".
How can this kind of play catch people so well? Among other things, directors, writers and actors, none of them are fuel-efficient lights.
The previous works are lying there. Can the costume comedies of 2024 follow the trend, what's more, can they surpass the masterpiece "Swordsman"? I think it's very difficult. But it's hard to get back to work. You always want to try.
TVB jumped out and tried the water first, and set up a "king of shapely kings" directed by Wang Hao, but there didn't seem to be any big waves. It seems that the funny costume depends on the rhythm of our mainland.
That "happy roll Changle City" is menacing, and as soon as it comes out, it makes people feel, hey, it smells a little bit now.
Really, after only four episodes, it brightened people's eyes, with a high score of 9.1. Although it fell a little behind, it reached 8.6, but for such a low-cost work, the result is already very good. The key is whether it can continue to surprise the audience in the future.
When it comes to the routines of TV dramas, that is a big taboo in the series. You see, the kind of exactly the same drama, in turn in each play, watching too much directly makes people sleepy. But "Happy Roll Chang Le City" is different, it plays the reverse routine.
There was a big reversal at the beginning of the TV series, so that many viewers sitting on the sofa almost didn't jump out of their seats.
At first, the camera followed a girl, no need to guess, the audience knew that this must be the heroine. Originally, as the daughter of a wealthy businessman, she was supposed to lead a good life.
However, her father wanted to take a big risk, but in the end, the gold was stolen halfway. At the critical moment, he was not a capable person. When the news arrived, he fainted from anger. There were a lot of creditors outside the house. Dad pushed everything onto his daughter Xie Quanjia's head. The creditors shouted loudly outside.
At this time, the male master Shangguan Guchuan happened to be here, originally wanted to talk about the dissolution of the engagement. As a result, accidentally, she helped the hostess smooth out some trouble. "can we postpone the debt repayment date?"
How could the creditors agree easily? they were so angry that they were directly prepared to ask him to sign the bet.
It was only then that the man realized that he was caught in some crazy whirlwind. The next second, he shouted with the creditors, "pay the money back!" Pay back the money! " This operation stunned everyone present. The speed of changing faces is a bit against the laws of physics, isn't it?
According to common sense, when the woman is killed, the man should be brave to save the United States. This anti-routine operation is really so unique. Wave after wave of jokes is worthy of being a master of innovation.
When it comes to how the actors act the jokes so naturally, it depends on how the people in the "happy scroll Changle City" play.
Take Ma Tianyu, for example, his wavering appearance in the play makes people want to laugh. From the very beginning, he played his role very funny, so that the audience was full of expectations for his next performance.
He is dressed like the children of a rich family, but what he does does not look like the behavior of a rich and handsome man at all. it is simply a model of a "tuhao".
His simple and honest smiling face made people laugh as soon as he appeared. In particular, his philosophy of "spending money and learning to buy it back" makes people love and angry.
Let's talk about Zong Juntao, who played the role of Guo Donglei and partnered with Ma Tianyu to stage a farce. The two men planned the plan to steal the deed of the house together, and each time it ended in failure, so they laughed a lot.
For example, the two of them came up with all sorts of weird reasons to steal the deed. From the initial celebration of housewarming to the later housewarming, the reasons for each move are even more outrageous than the last one.
These two people were clearly partners, but they were always confused. Every time they acted out of sync, they did not achieve anything after a whole night. This absurd and funny plot simply made people laugh.
The heroine Bu Guanjin, the role played by her is both funny and tender. Usually, this changeable mood on a person is easy to make the audience feel that it is acting, but she handles it just right.
Although she dresses simply, she is good enough for comedy, with a little dialect accent, not to mention friendly, which makes people want to laugh at a word.
As for Fan Ming, his joining in this low-cost online drama has greatly increased the effect of comedy. The comedy talent that has been shown in the Swordsman is here again, playing the heroine's father, Li Tiandi, so that the jokes of the whole play please climb to another high-rise building.
The role of Li Tiandi, first really fainted because the gold was robbed, and then simply pretended to be dizzy, in order to avoid debts. The helplessness and funny among them are all shown incisively and vividly through Fan Ming's exquisite acting skills.
Generally speaking, not everyone can play costume comedy. But "Happy Roll Changle City" is like a sudden stream, which brightens people's eyes. It not only makes the audience smile from ear to ear, but more importantly, it redefines the type of costume comedy in a novel way.
The actors put down their baggage and show their funny talent, coupled with the unexpected anti-routine design in the script, making the show a rare comedy force. Its success is not only because of high scores and heated discussion, but also because it can let the audience find a little fun in their busy life and forget their troubles for a while.
Of course, costume comedy still has a long way to go. "happy scroll Changle City" is good, but it also reminds us that if we want to continue to attract audiences, we must constantly innovate and explore. Only in this way can we go further and smile sweeter in the world of comedy.
We just hope that in the future, there will be more masterpieces like "happy scroll Changle City", which will make our life more laughing and less sad. Keep looking and laughing. Life is supposed to be full of fun and surprises, isn't it?
