The waterfall official announcement is enough
Summer fun is coming
"The King of Comedy's Stand-up Season" was officially announced, and Guo Qilin, Wu Zhenyu, Xu Zheng, and Yang Tianzhen served as the leaders of the atmosphere group. The four team leaders have their own specializations in the field of comedy, Guo Qilin's cross talk background, and his performances in hit comedies have accumulated enough popularity; Wu Zhenyu's early comedy experience is impressive, and he has been frequently out of the circle in major variety shows recently; Xu Zheng's comedy movies are constantly bursting; Yang Tianzhen's sharp and spicy agent identity can always hit the nail on the head. The comments of the group leaders are not only funny, but also can broaden the possibilities of stand-up comedy and open up the integration of stand-up and other forms of comedy. Jiang Long, who is very popular in the "Annual Comedy Contest", also unlocked a new identity to become a member and host of the atmosphere group, Jiang Long's growth story is enthusiastic and inspirational, and he himself responded enthusiastically: "We are also getting wider and wider on the comedy track." ”
Pang Bo, Wang Jianguo, Yang Li, and Zhou Qimo, four old friends of stand-up comedy, will work with the atmosphere group to recommend treasure stand-up actors from all over the country to the audience. The 4 old friends are definitely iconic characters of stand-up comedy, and they are full of golden sentences as soon as they come on the stage. Pang Bo said that the past resume is a complete turn; Yang Li, who likes to mention the new identity of the chief screenwriter in the new show, said that if people want to be promoted, they still have to change jobs. It can be seen that everyone's meme-making power is still online, but it also vaguely reveals that this task is extremely challenging, and it is definitely not as simple as just writing jokes on weekdays. It is said that Wang Jianguo, Yang Li, and Zhou Qimo also joined the main creative team and served as the chief screenwriter of the show.
Of course, whether comedy variety shows are good or not, the key lies in "people". The officially announced cast of "The King of Comedy's Stand-up Season" also has a lot of origins.
This time, the stage can be called a stand-up comedy "Hall of Fame" collective team building, gathering many popular and energetic head actors. For example, Xiaolu, who is known as the queen of talk shows offline; Liu Yang, who has been deeply involved in the "show" for ten years and has made countless audiences laugh until the hammer wall; talked about talk shows from offline to short video platforms, and Fu Hang, who has tens of millions of fans; There are also Shanghainese talk shows that represent the door cavity, such as Black Light, Xiaobei, Tang Xiangyu and other "bombing kings" who are hard to find offline votes; Zhan Xin (Xin Zai), who hilariously played "Liu Boer" in "The Young Master and Me", also returned to the identity of a stand-up comedian this time. The peak duel of popular actors will inevitably poke the audience's laughter.
Zang Hongfei, Fu Seoul, Yan Hexiang, Shang Jiuxi, Zhu Hesong, Nomi and other rap, cross talk, and debate circle players also crossed over to play stand-up. As early as the debate track, "Fu Ma" was a stalk maker; Yan Hexiang, a professional man, didn't fall to the ground without saying a word. What kind of unique tricks and what kind of comedy form will these cross-border terrier kings bring is definitely a highlight of the show.
"The King of Comedy" has many realistic depictions and deep insights into the lives of little people, and "The King of Comedy's Stand-up Season" is naturally indispensable to unique newcomer actors. This time, the officially announced comedy newcomers come from all walks of life. Yu Xiangyu, a graduate of the Department of Philosophy, Liangyan, a grassroots worker, Xiao Luo, a screenwriter of Erxi, as well as pumpkin, a delivery man, and Wang Yaofan, a forensic doctor, and Ziming even interpreted that stuttering patients can also "play tricks". It is said that comedy comes from life, and although these "little people" themselves are engaged in work that has nothing to do with stand-up comedy, it is more convenient to use a comedy perspective to deconstruct real life and experience, and reality has given them fertile ground for creation.
"The show hasn't aired yet, the golden sentence is coming, I'll be waiting for it this summer", "The official announcement is also real, the amount is enough, my happiness is coming soon, please hurry up." After the waterfall official announcement of "The King of Comedy's Stand-up Season", it quickly swiped the screen on social media, "iQiyi is going to break into the talk show track", "The King of Comedy's stand-up season waterfall official announcement", "Yang Li, if you want to be promoted, you still have to jump ship", "Pang Bo's past resume is all overturned" appeared on the hot search, and the audience's expectations were instantly full.
There is an attitude and feelings
The main stand-up innovation is full of power
Judging from the official announcement information, this time "The King of Comedy's Stand-up Season" is full of innovation, attitude, feelings, and ingenuity from the topic selection to the actor excavation, and then to the creation of the competition system, which is definitely worth watching.
There are many vertical subdivisions in the Xizong track, such as cross talk, sketches, sketch comedy, stand-up comedy, and so on. This time, "The King of Comedy Stand-up Season" made the incision smaller and focused on stand-up comedy. Aside from the complex and fancy props, the cooperation and interaction between the actors, language ability and performance skills can be seen at a glance. It is precisely because of not engaging in fancy, simple and direct, and testing skills that stand-up comedy has a wide mass base, and offline performances are blooming everywhere in the north and south of the country, which is deeply loved by young people, and it is a good medicine for them to release pressure and rekindle their passion. This time, with the help of the stage of "The King of Comedy's Stand-up Season", the offline treasure actors will make a collective appearance and accumulate steadily, and they will inevitably surprise and output continuously.
The different styles and diversity of the actors in "The King of Comedy Stand-up Season" are also a major feature of the show. The program team carefully selected from thousands of actors in a number of clubs, and finally selected 44 groups of popular comedy pillars, which is enough to show the ingenuity of comedy. Among them, there are comedy OGs that are familiar to the audience, and there are newcomers who have never appeared in variety shows, and cross-border actors with different identities. The many glittering newcomers not only bring fresh power to the comedy industry, but also effectively alleviate the audience's aesthetic fatigue and bring a new audio-visual experience. Giving newcomers a stage echoes the program slogan of "From a small person to the king of comedy", and it also highlights iQIYI's consistent variety show concept of not being defined and exploring infinite possibilities.
The format of "The King of Comedy's Stand-up Season" is also very interesting. Competitive is undoubtedly the most pulsing mechanic of the moment. It's like the ongoing Olympics, where no one can predict the outcome until the last minute. "The King of Comedy's Stand-up Season" adopts the stage competition mode, with multiple competition systems such as newcomers encircling and suppressing the demon king, group high-energy team battles, and theme competitions, allowing all major factions and masters from all walks of life to compete on the same stage, which is exciting enough.
The most exciting part of the whole show is the challenge of comedy newcomers to encircle and suppress the demon king. In the face of the comedy devil, newcomers are eager to become famous, and they will inevitably do their best; In the face of the younger generations who are determined to win, Pang Bo, Wang Jianguo, Yang Li, and Zhou Qimo must also work hard to ensure the status of the rivers and lakes, and they will definitely come up with the best works of the year. Whether the newcomer's "wheel challenge" can succeed and whether the "demon king" can hold his position is thrilling enough to think about.
can play, Mu Xin's temperament is outstanding
iQIYI leads the Xizong market
This is the best era of Xizong. With the rapid development of society, the accelerated pace of life, and the pressure on young people, happiness is the eternal just need of the audience; This is also the most difficult era of comedy, from long videos to short videos, audiences have more and more choices, they follow comedy, and chase new jokes, the cost and difficulty of making people laugh are getting higher and higher.
In recent years, iQIYI has always been able to create a true fragrance comedy that makes people's palms hurt, laugh until they cry, and their expression management is out of control.
The two seasons of "Annual Comedy Competition" produced by iQiyi have become a phenomenal program as a dark horse, bringing a hot comedy track with their own strength, and also showing the audience more possibilities of the comedy show. This time, "The King of Comedy's Stand-up Season" set off anew, and the official announcement was that it would be able to play and admire the new temperament, which attracted attention before it was broadcast, showing a popular atmosphere.
The essence of Xizong first lies in the explosion point of the content, whether it can arouse the emotional resonance of the audience, and whether it is really funny. iQIYI, which is well versed in this, has always insisted on taking happiness as the core and real life as the background color of creation. Cut into the perspective of the public, especially young people, and tell the life of ordinary people. From various daily life such as workplace, marriage and love, family affection, and growth, to social hotspots such as social fear, women, and the Internet, the subtle details of the truth of life are poked into and the living conditions of young people are mapped. Coupled with the cheerful text, which fits the way of thinking of young people, and the fast-paced performance, it effectively enhances the laughter and makes the audience empathize and immerse themselves.
In addition to creating content explosions, iQIYI has also been making efforts in form innovation. As early as the "Annual Comedy Contest", iQIYI popularized Sketch (sketch comedy), comics, mime, musicals, object dramas, one-man shows, musical skits, Blackout (black scene dramas), puppet shows and other comedy forms for the audience. This time, iQIYI broke itself again, stepped out of the comfort zone to launch a new IP, and did stand-up comedy on the basis of researching the needs of the audience. Neither breaking nor standing is the key to the show's ability to remain innovative and attractive to the audience.
Of course, no matter how good the content and form are, it must be presented by "people". iQIYI is also very capable of mining talents. iQIYI Xizong is not only good at excavating newcomers, but also good at "cultivating" newcomers. As early as the "Annual Comedy Competition", iQIYI let many screenwriters, performance directors and other behind-the-scenes comedians come to the stage, build a new "talent echelon" for the comedy industry, and continue to deliver "source living water" for the industry. There are also more rookie actors who have been "cultivated" and seen on the stage of iQiyi, and have gone to the big stage of film and television.
In recent years, iQIYI has continued to explore in the Xizong track, not only establishing emotional links with young people through the program, helping them eliminate the troubles and pressures of work and life, but also providing a platform for comedy lovers to grow from a small person to the king of comedy, continue to deliver talents to the industry, and empower the ecological sustainable development of the Xizong industry.
