Every Thursday night, every family expects "public and private sandwiches". There is no part of family life that everyone is dissatisfied with.
* See the original "Screen Idol" No.48.
In the summer of 1989, from May to the end of September, due to political problems and the strong influence of sharp fluctuations in the real estate and stock markets, the mood of Hong Kong people has never really calmed down since June. In this mood, people should not pay too much attention to TV programs, especially those drama programs that can be seen every day. However, the "public-private sandwich" in the second stage of the "comedy convenience store" link of Jade Satellite TV suddenly swept the whole of Hong Kong like a whirlwind, and the "public-private sandwich fever" swept every class and family in Hong Kong at one time, regardless of parents-in-law, parents or young friends aged from a few to twenty. Every Tuesday to Friday at 8: 45 pm, as long as there is no special date, everyone will sit in front of the TV and wait for this half-hour light comedy picture to appear. On Mondays and weekends, it becomes boring, because there is no "public governance" to see, and we lack an expectation.
The light comedy "Common Governance", which has not been brilliant for a long time, is like a long drought.
The high-level people behind the radio station seem to be a little confused about Gong Zhi's unprecedented success. Jade TV didn't just start shooting this half-hour light comedy today. "City Equation" and "City Story" have a long history. In the early years, there were also popular environmental comedies "Hong Kong 85" and Hong Kong 73, the predecessor of "Hong Kong 85". However, in fact, the popularity of this kind of "public-private sandwich" is several times that of "Hong Kong 73" or "Hong Kong 85". I believe this phenomenon will occur because there has not been such a successful comedy as "Public Governance" in Hong Kong TV programs for a long time, so that the audience has a feeling of "long drought meets sweet rain".
Wireless knows the magic of good comedy. What a great work
It is absolutely incorrect to say that TVB underestimates the charm of light comedy. There have always been friends holding Pearl TV, and everyone knows that TVB has never ignored comedy programs of English TV. From then on, TVB began to try to do more promotional work, and "sell" several excellent comedies with Chinese subtitles to audiences who are used to watching China TV. In fact, Pearl TV and ATV International have been collecting excellent foreign comedy programs for the audience. For busy British TV viewers, light comedy is more magical than an hour-long crime reality drama, which can attract viewers who don't have much time and spirit to watch TV. Of course, the sales department of the TV station understands that busy people are the heads of the family, and they have strong financial resources and the ability to lock in expenses. To attract this audience, besides a large number of financial programs and information programs, they are short and pithy. Just like the author himself, because he has to be both a copywriter and a housewife, even if he wants to watch TV dramas, he can only record them on holidays or before going to bed late at night. Since it's so troublesome, a long play with poor standard will definitely be abandoned. I don't have to watch long plays, but I have been a guest for several years because of the English channel at 8: 30 every night. It was only in the last year that I gradually gave up these attacks because of the delay of dinner time and the switch to laser. However, no matter how many TV programs I watch less when I am busy, I will never give up playing more light comedies on two English channels at 6: 18, 6: 45 and 7: 07 every night. Surprisingly, I hide in the study every afternoon. There is neither a clock nor a watch in the study. I can turn on the TV every day according to the waiting room, watch "My parents are her" on Pearl Channel from Monday to Friday, and then I can watch it again. In addition to these light comedies, I will try to watch Diary of Fat Mom at 8: 00 on Monday night, and watch two sitcoms, Life and Elite News Group, at 9: 00 and Friday night. As for ATV International, Alien Disgusting at 7 pm on Thursday is also very interesting. Speaking of which, in the last year, I really relied on these interesting sketches to adjust my everyday life. /b to u）^ b5 e‘F8 a
There is a gap between Chinese and western life. Chinese channel is committed to becoming a "convenience store"
Due to the different living habits and language barriers between China and the West, light comedies on English TV cannot be popularized in Hong Kong, and friends who are not used to English TV have lost a lot of joy because they have never seen these light comedies. Due to the lack of behind-the-scenes talents and the fact that there are only two TV stations in Hong Kong, there are fewer and fewer local comedies, and the standard is becoming more and more unstable. TVB can't exert much influence in this respect, although it understands the magical power of short comedies. The limited comedy material behind the scenes of Yutai has long been occupied by tales of mystery in Gossip Girl, Happy Tonight and novellas in the drama group. It was not until two years ago that TVB decided to turn the prime time from Monday to Friday into light comedy time that Jade Channel deliberately created comedies, such as City Story, City Equation and Now Comedy Convenience Store. The original plan was to shoot "Gong Zhi" in 10, but it set off an amazing viewing boom. According to the audience survey report, at least 2 million people watch it every night. For example, one in three Hong Kong people is a fan of Gong Zhi, and among the 6 million people, there are a certain number of foreigners besides hundreds of thousands of children, and these people can't be fans of Gong Zhi, so the ratings of this light comedy are just like this. Two or more out of every five people are used to watching it late at night, and the result is really impressive. The unprecedented success of "Common Governance" also confirmed the attraction of short contact comedy to ordinary audiences.
More than 2 million people are anti-traditional.
Television stations dare not stir this short and pithy comedy, of course, because the script is difficult to stir. Every half-hour independent short story must happen to the members of the play, and each paragraph must have a beginning and an end. The scene should be inserted in a position to increase the "sense of life" of the plot. The selected short stories must be closely related to Hong Kong people, and most people have experienced them personally. These two points must be done first, so that the half-hour bridge and jokes can resonate with the audience and make the audience laugh. The behind-the-scenes work of TV stations is used to assembly lines. Every second counts, so we should never "sigh adagio" to create works slowly. However, the friends who stir up the script for this light comedy must completely violate the principle that every second counts, and must observe the people and things around them with all patience before they can find a theme.
Half an hour of exquisite life trivia, looking for jokes, well written script.
For example, The bill cosby Show, the most popular ethical comedy in American TV circles, was designed by a middle-class family member and co-starred by several black actors. Although Mark cosby, the leading actor, is a "dramatic" first-class comedian, the element that really makes this series of films sweep across all walks of life in the United States is not from him, but from the combination of every family member in the play. With exquisite humor and plot dialogue full of modern life, this cool half-hour sketch can be made. In order to make this TV series truly "walk into" the lives of TV viewers of all classes and different ages, Mark cosby, an obstetrician, has a shrewd lawyer wife, a son who goes to college and a little daughter who has not yet entered middle school. In addition, Mark cosby's unique image as a mother and father is a bit "sissy", which makes this typical American middle-class family colorful and interesting. The youngest daughter borrowed money from her father to buy gifts for her mother. As a result, she had to accept her father's "slavery" and do housework every day. My son's lovelorn father went to the bar with him to personally choose a new girlfriend for his son ... and so on. Similar scenes are interesting details that Americans often see in their daily lives. When the audience enjoyed it, they kept laughing and spent a happy and comfortable 30 minutes inadvertently. Recalling that every night when watching "Private Sandwich", the audience of Jade Channel laughed unconsciously for half an hour. I don't know how many of them recalled this short half-hour boutique and consumed it.
Ethical warmth, social harmony, a furnace of singing the beauty of life, everyone has his place.
When Guan knows his mistakes, he can become a good man. Margie Tsang is no longer lovelorn. Everyone envies her boyfriend.
Mei Xiaohui, the ugly duckling, is optimistic and does not feel inferior. Yang Ling, a thin boy and a young girl, is happy and carefree.
Sandwich of Public and Private Affairs is a light comedy with a wide range of materials. The fly in the ointment is that the creator left out the second generation of the three generations of grandparents and grandchildren for freshness, and wrote that the parents of four brothers and sisters, Zhang Zihui, Pei Ling, Pei Li and Pei Shan, were killed in the plane crash; This arrangement of the script aims to create a dramatic effect for the special combination of Grandpa Zhang Tong and Zi Hui, who are responsible for the care of three girls for the old and young people. However, the problem is that it is really inappropriate to write four orphans without father and mother in a comedy. Therefore, it is better to arrange Zihui's parents to do business abroad, or it may be that their parents divorced, their mother remarried and their father did business outside, which is better than saying that four brothers and sisters have no parents. This play is called "Peace for Generations".
The creator sings that life is beautiful and everyone is full of hope and progress.
Except for the sad arrangement of Zhang's brother and sister without father and mother, the other characters portrayed in "Common Governance" are people who live and work in peace and contentment and enjoy themselves. The creator is obviously a great figure who advocates optimism and positivity. In their works, there are absolutely only small troubles and problems that cannot be solved in the world of public governance. The same is true of light comedies abroad, where the worries of daily necessities and natural disasters will never appear. In order to emphasize that the Zhang family will not have any financial problems, the script arranged for Grandpa to be a retired chef, and arranged for him to bear huge insurance money to buy a house and collect rent to support four grandchildren after his daughter-in-law died in a plane crash. In order to emphasize Zhang Zihui's macho character, the script first tells him that he would rather stay in Hong Kong as an advertising designer than give up the opportunity to study abroad, and writes that his monthly income is close to HK$ 20,000, which is higher than the average salary in Hong Kong, which is definitely not earned by ordinary matriculation graduates. This arrangement of the script is obviously to please young audiences who have only received secondary education. It can also be said that it encourages young people to study hard and make progress after they set foot in society, and to show a hopeful and active life before them. In addition to Zihui, Pei Ling, an assistant public relations director in a large organization at a young age, is handsome and stylish. Her position is Cheng Lang, the boyfriend of the fund manager; The mother of a colleague of Keiko's is the head of a fruit shop; There is Yongjia, a rich man who collects rent from several floors, and is deliberately beautified to satisfy the vanity of ordinary TV viewers.
Little people don't feel inferior, and Perry's fat sister Zhong Yi also has an advantage.
Of course, there are also small people who make people laugh in every comedy of Common Governance. Perry, the second sister of the Zhang family, is about a girl with average qualifications and no talent, but her industrious and self-sufficient personality is enough to make her live in a carefree world. "Fat girl" Li De is afraid of his wife and cares about everything. Because of her average intelligence, she often gets into trouble in the company. But she has amazing observation and unique experience to convince Zihui, Yongjia and other sisters. Joanne Zhong Yi, a rich woman who comes back from the United States, is often used by people, but she will be satisfied with her usefulness to people ... Through these little people, Lotte knows that life enjoys her creation.
Jin Woo's acting skills are pleasing.
Another feature of The Imperial Palace is that it provides an opportunity for some actors who are used to playing adulterous heroes, such as Guan and Luo Yingjun. Wu Zhenyu was lucky to win the role of Zhang Zihui. He was very nervous when he first heard that he was sent to play the play. With the popularity of the villain, he has long wanted to find an opportunity to "turn over", but he is worried that he will miss the opportunity if he does not perform well. He said that in order to play Zhang Zihui, a little "feminine" character, he had discussed with producer Cen Guo Rong many times how to grasp Zhang Zihui's character. What he fears most is that he plays too much, so that his big brother as a parent will become as delicate as a pug. As a result, Wu Zhenyu's efforts were not in vain, and his role as Zhang Zihui was even better than that of the sissy villain in Heroes on Earth. At the time of writing this article, I just watched an episode of Common Governance, in which three girls graded their boyfriends through psychological tests. Finally, Wu Zhenyu performed a short one-man show at home, talking to himself with a magazine, and promoted himself from a "C-level boyfriend" to a-level. At that time, his expression and tone were just right, and there was a monologue of 100% "life-oriented" little people. There was not even a word in the dialogue that made him laugh.
Margie Tsang clouds cleared, the bright moon continued, wireless concessions.
Speaking of the acting skills of three sisters, Mei Xiaohui and Yang Ling, it goes without saying that A Qian, who belongs to the "pretty girl type", is dominated by her appearance. In the past, because she almost never met the role she had the opportunity to play, A Qian was still only good at playing the role of happy inorganic heart. The role of Zhang Peiling is actually tailored for her, and I feel better when I see her. The role of "sister head" is of course the most "stealing" among the three sisters. At the time of writing this article, I heard that the problem of negotiating a new contract between wireless and money has been solved in principle. According to A Qian, Wireless insisted on signing a long-term contract with her and refused to sign a ministerial contract with her like Kathy CHAU. However, after the "private sandwich" decided to "add meals", wireless also gave way to A Qian to sign a ministerial contract. Therefore, many actors who were born in TV circle in 1967 but never made any breakthrough are actually waiting for an opportunity, such as Wu Qihua and other rogue tycoons, Wu Zhenyu and other Gillian, Lin Junxian and other films such as Men's True Color, Pioneer of Thunderbolt and Pisces.
Mei Xiaohui, the second sister of the ugly duckling, has a healthy image of winning by acting.
The second sister, Perry, and the younger sister, Pei Shan, are housewives of the Zhang family. Their image and personality are like "ugly ducklings", and sometimes they feel nervous about their appearance. Mei Xiaohui's role in this role is like "tailor-made". Although her appearance is not a "pretty girl", Xiaohui with a sunny face and a very healthy image is actually a very talented role actor. She was the first heroine in ATV. After job-hopping, she had more performance opportunities than many first-line actresses. It seems that Xiaohui has acted in plays such as Legend of Thousands of Families, Heroes on Earth, Naughty Gemini, and the most rare thing is that. Other actors attract the audience with their beautiful appearance, but she can grab all the scenes in the play through acting.
Yang Ling, also known as "Yang Zi", has a natural personality.
Yang Ling, who was born in Wireless and came back after running in ATV, is actually the oldest of the three sisters. However, her "boy head" appearance always makes her look like the little sister next door. The most rare thing about her performance of "Little Sister" Pei Shan is that the male role is completely natural, not "artificial". It is said that Gong Zhi's staff therefore called her "Andy" and didn't treat her as a girl at all. The best is Margie Tsang, because she and Yang Ling live in the New Territories and often drive her "little sister" back to the factory or home. Yang Ling, who has short hair and often wears jeans, looks like a little boy in Aqian's car, so that she has been misunderstood for many times as Margie Tsang driving her male colleague back to Clear Water Bay.
Light comedy is an animation for adults, so it doesn't need to follow the plot and has less burden.
Light comedies on TV stations are actually like cartoons of adults, and the extent to which adults like watching comedies will only be more amazing than that of children. Television should never underestimate the charm of light comedy. Because long novellas need to follow the plot, and there will be some gray plots, novellas are never as attractive as light comedies with bright, relaxed and delicate rhythm. Modern people's daily life is full of struggle and helplessness. When they stop fighting for a day and go home for dinner and rest, they certainly want to have some TV programs that are easy to laugh, and they won't feel any burden when watching them. I believe this is also the "voice" of every TV fan.
It is understood that after the 24 episodes of Private Sandwiches are broadcast, the third issue of Comedy Convenience Store will be starred by another actor full of comedy cells, Luo Huijuan. However, due to the news that the producer of Gong Zhi, Cen Guo Rong, will quit ATV together with the young producer of Unbearable Love, Wei Jiahui, Cen Guo Rong should no longer be the producer of the third stage of the comedy Convenience Store.
