"Two Tigers", just by seeing the two male protagonists Ge You and Qiao Shan, you should know that this is a comedy, plus there are also comedians who are very familiar to everyone, such as Fan Wei, Yan Ni, pan Binlong.
Zhao Wei has not acted in many comedy movies, but people who have recently watched the variety show "Actors Please Take Place" will know that she has always had a special love for comedy, so the works directed in the show are often with a comedic style. "Two Tigers" she is not only the lead actor, but also the producer, and the director and screenwriter Li Fei is precisely her "royal screenwriter" in "Actors Please Take Place", so it can be said that the comedy is cooperative.
But Zhao Wei's comedy is often not really comedy, but the thinking of human nature under the cloak of comedy, often with tragic overtones, so even if there are so many comedians in "Two Tigers" who just want to laugh just by looking at their faces, there will still be many viewers who can see and cry, especially when the blind masseuse played by Fan Wei in the middle says the sentence "Still so thin", it is simply sadder than Ge You.
Therefore, in the whole movie, the ones who are completely out of the matter and are simply responsible for funny are probably Wang Sen and Tian Yu.
Tian Yu in the police station is estimated that everyone will recognize it at a glance, but Wang Sen in the cave is estimated that many people have not recognized it.
Yu Kaixuan, played by Qiao Shan, ran to find the actress Zhou Yuan, played by Zhao Wei, at this time, Zhou Yuan was wearing a costume and playing with a male actor. The actor with a strange hairstyle and strange Cantonese, one mouth can't help but laugh - he called Zhou Yuan's name "Chu Jiu" in the play "Jiao Dog".
"Drama within a play" is also a common technique used by Zhao Wei in "Actors Please Take Place", in "Two Tigers", Zhou Yuan's "play within a play" was performed twice, the first time the male and female protagonists did not enter the play, the lines of dog blood, perfunctory acting skills reminded people of those cross-strait and three-place co-production films that were very common in the early years, a group of actors You say Cantonese I said Chinese couldn't catch up with each other's rhythm at all, which was particularly funny; the second time the heroine entered the play, but scared the male lead away.
At this time, when I think about the male protagonist calling out the name "jiao dog" in plastic Cantonese, I have quite a feeling: heaven and earth are not kind, and all things are used as a sword dog.
Zhou Yuan, who is trapped in this story, also Yu Kaixuan, Zhang Chenggong, Zhang Caixia... In fact, they are just "swords", the heavens and the earth are selfless, there is no bias, and they are left to fend for themselves.
But the male protagonist who shouts "sword dog" obviously does not have such a feeling, in this movie, he does not appear much, only in these two scenes, not even a name.
It is estimated that many viewers only found out when they watched the movie and watched the cast list or watched the news or watched "Actors Please Take Place": It was Wang Sen!
In "Actors Please Take Place", his performance is quite amazing, especially in various comedies.
In Zhao Wei's "Mask", he is only an assistant actor, but the assistant director he plays is full of drama, making it difficult for people not to pay attention to him; in "Secret Recipe", he is a robber who looks a little stupid, and he is also hilarious as soon as he appears, and with Zhang Tianyang's tacit understanding, "emotional management" has become a stem.
Comedy is funny, but in fact, it is not easy to act, because it is easy to act too exaggerated and greasy if you are not careful, but Wang Sen does not, he seems to be very good at comedy, as if he has his own sense of comedy when he stops there, in fact, after the initial first round is to be determined, he can be re-selected by Zhao Wei to return to the group, and it is precisely because he won other competitors in a comedy performance - I have to say that Zhao Wei is indeed very good at choosing actors.
But the "self-comedy" thing is not innate, but honed by just the right acting skills.
After watching "Two Tigers", there will definitely be many people who realize that Wang Sen is really "throwing his face", that is, changing a play seems to change a face. Many people may not know the name "Wang Sen", but if you search later, you will find: I have seen so many of his plays!
In Zhao Wei's "To Youth" at that time, Lin Jing's roommate who covered the crotch of his pants, "Panty Jun", was him;
In Wu Jing's "Wolf Warrior", the handsome and funny Shi Sanba is him;
In "Tiger Mother and Cat Father", Zhao Wei's unreliable brother Bi Ran is him;
In "Surgical Storm", Renhe Hospital Mathematics is responsible for Yang Zixuan, who is him;
In "People Are Not Tough Teenagers", the serious and funny third class teacher Kong Xiaojun is also him.
Not only do you not know him in another play, but listening to him, it seems that it is difficult to distinguish where he is, in "Two Tigers" he speaks a crappy Cantonese, and in "The Secret Recipe" he also speaks Tangshan dialect.
In fact, he himself is a Beijinger who grew up in the military compound, but he is good at observation and study in his daily life.
But isn't that the actor? The audience will always see the character on the screen, not the actor behind it, change a play, change a person.
In "Actors Please Take Place", he did not hide that he wanted to take the first place as soon as he appeared, but the audience who has always been disgusted with "blind arrogance" is very optimistic about him, because after watching several scenes, his strength is indeed obvious to all.
So although there are so many big guys in "Two Tigers", he still can't hide his light, although he only appears for a few minutes, it is still unforgettable!
