Every Thursday night, every family expects "public and private sandwiches". There is no part of family life that everyone is unhappy about.
* See the original screen idol issue 48.
1989 In the summer, from May to the end of September, due to the strong influence of political problems and violent 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 phase of the "comedy convenience store" link of Jade Satellite TV suddenly spread all over Hong Kong like a whirlwind. The "public-private sandwich fever" swept through every class and family in Hong Kong at one time, regardless of parents, 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. Monday weekend became boring because there was no "public governance" to see, and we also lacked an expectation.
The light comedy "Gong Zhi", which has not been brilliant for a long time, is like a long drought.
The top management behind the radio station seems to be a little confused about Gong Zhi's unprecedented success. It's not today that Jade TV started shooting this half-hour light comedy. "City Equation" and "City Story" have a long history. In the early years, there were also the well-known environmental comedy Hong Kong 85 and its predecessor Hong Kong 73. But in fact, this kind of "public-private sandwich" is several times more popular than "Hong Kong 73" or "Hong Kong 85", and I believe this phenomenon will occur because there has not been a successful comedy like "public governance" in Hong Kong TV programs for a long time, so that the audience has a feeling of "long drought meets rain".
Wireless knows the magic of good comedy. What a masterpiece
It is absolutely incorrect to say that TVB underestimates the charm of light comedy. Friends have always owned Pearl TV, and everyone knows that TVB has never neglected comedy programs of English TV. Only after that, TVB began to try to do more promotional work and "sell" several excellent comedies with Chinese subtitles to viewers 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, and it 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 families with strong financial resources and the ability to lock in expenses. To attract this audience, in addition to a large number of financial programs and information programs, it is short and pithy. Like the author himself, because he has to be 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, long dramas with poor standards 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 episodes because the dinner time was postponed and I switched to laser. However, no matter how busy I am and how few TV programs I watch, I will never give up showing more light comedies on two English channels at 6: 00/8, 6: 45 and 7: 07 every night. Amazingly, I hide in the study every afternoon. There is neither a clock nor a watch in the study. I can turn on the TV according to the waiting room every day, watch "My parents are her" on Pearl Channel from Monday to Friday, and then watch it again. Besides 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 Newsgroup at 9: 00 and Friday night. As for ATV International, Alien Disgusting at 7 o'clock on Thursday night is also very interesting. Speaking of it, 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 goes all out to be a "convenience store"
Light comedies on English TV can't be popularized in Hong Kong because of different living habits and language barriers between China and the West, and friends who are not used to English TV have lost a lot of joy because they haven't 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. Even if TVB understands the magical power of short comedy, it can't make great efforts in this respect. The limited comedy material behind the scenes of Jade Channel has long been occupied by the gossip pavilion, Hong Kong grotesque and the novellas of the crew of Happy Tonight. It was not until two years ago that Wireless decided to turn the prime time from Monday to Friday into light comedy time that Jade Channel deliberately created comedies, such as city stories and city equations, and now comedy convenience stores. Originally planned 10 to shoot "Make Public", but unexpectedly it set off an amazing audience boom. According to the audience survey report, at least two million people watch it every night. For example, one in three Hong Kong people is a fan of Gongzhi, and there are a certain number of foreigners in the population of six million besides hundreds of thousands of children, and these people can't be fans of Gongzhi, so the ratings of this light comedy are said. More than two 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 proves that short contact comedy is really attractive to ordinary audiences.
The anti-tradition of more than 2 million people.
Television stations dare not speculate on this short and pithy comedy, of course, because the script is difficult to speculate. 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 the assembly line. Every second counts, so don't "sigh adagio" to create your works slowly. However, friends who speculate on this kind of light comedy must completely violate the principle that every minute counts, and must observe people and things around them with all patience to find a theme.
Half an hour's life is trivial, find a paragraph and write a 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 first-class comedian with a "sense of drama", the elements that really make this film series sweep across all walks of life in the United States are not from him, but from the combination of every family member in the play. Coupled with exquisite humor and plot dialogue full of modern life, this half-hour cool sketch can be made. In order to make this drama really "walk into" the lives of TV viewers of all classes and different ages, obstetrician Mark Cosby has a shrewd wife who is a lawyer, 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 little "sissy", which shapes this typical American middle-class family with colorful and funny themes. The youngest daughter borrowed money from her father to buy gifts for her mother, and as a result, she had to accept her father's "slavery" and do housework every day; My son's lovelorn father accompanied him to the bar to choose a new girlfriend for his son himself ... and so on. Similar scenes are interesting details that Americans often see in their daily lives. The audience enjoyed it, laughed constantly, and spent a happy and comfortable 30 minutes inadvertently. I recall that the audience of Jade Channel laughed unconsciously for half an hour every night when watching Sandwich between Private and Public. I don't know how many people have recalled this short half-hour boutique and consumed it.
Ethical warmth, social harmony, a furnace of singing the beauty of life, each in his place.
Guan knows his mistakes and can be a good person. 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 three generations for novelty, 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 Zihui, who are responsible for taking care of three girls. But the problem is that it is really inappropriate for a comedy to write about four orphans without parents. Therefore, it is better to arrange Zihui's parents to do business in other places, or it may be that their parents have divorced, their mother remarried and their father is doing business outside, which is better than saying that four brothers and sisters have no parents. This script is called "Peace for Generations".
The creator sang 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 Known are people who can live and work in peace and contentment and enjoy themselves. The creator is obviously a great man who advocates optimism and positivity. In their works, there are absolutely only minor troubles and problems that can't be solved. The same is true of light comedies abroad. Worried about daily necessities, natural disasters and man-made disasters will never appear in these light comedies. In order to emphasize that the Zhang family will not have any economic problems, the script arranges grandpa to be a retired chef, and arranges him to bear huge insurance money to buy a house and collect rent to raise four grandchildren after his daughter-in-law is killed in an air crash. In order to emphasize Zhang Zihui's villain 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 definitely beyond the average salary in Hong Kong. This arrangement of the script is obviously to please the young audience who have only received secondary school education, and it can also be said that it encourages young people to study hard and make progress after they set foot on the society, and show a hopeful and positive life in front of them. In addition to Zihui, Pei Ling, who has been an assistant to the public relations director of a large institution at a young age, is handsome and stylish, and her position is Cheng Lang, the boyfriend of a fund manager; Keiko's mother, a colleague, is a female foreman in a fruit shop. Yongjia, a rich man who collects rents for several floors, deliberately beautifies it in order to satisfy the vanity of ordinary TV viewers.
Small people don't feel inferior, and Perry's fat sister Zhong Yi also has advantages.
Of course, in every comedy of "Making Public", there are also little people who make people laugh. Perry, the second sister of the Zhang family, is written as a girl with mediocre qualifications and no talent, but her hardworking and self-sufficient character is enough to make her live in a carefree world; Li De, a "fat girl" who is afraid of her wife and does everything herself, often gets into trouble in the company because of her average intelligence, but she has amazing observation and unique experience to convince Zihui, Yongjia and other sisters, while Joanne Zhong Yi, a rich female friend who came back from the United States, is often taken advantage of by others, but she will be satisfied and happy because she is useful to people ... Through these little people, Lotte knows that life enjoys her creation.
All treacherous people turn over, and Jin Woo's acting skills are pleasing.
Another feature of "Making Public" is that it provides an opportunity for several actors who are used to playing adulterers, such as Guan, Luo Yingjun, to "turn over". Wu Zhenyu was really 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 afraid that if he does not perform well, he will miss the opportunity. He said that in order to play Zhang Zihui, a little "feminine" person, he had discussed with producer Cen many times how to grasp Zhang Zihui's character. What he fears most is that he plays too much by himself, making his parents' eldest brother as feminine as a pug. As a result, Wu Zhenyu's efforts were not in vain, and his role of Zhang Zihui was even better than that of the sissy villain in Heroes on Earth. At the time of writing, I just watched an episode of "Common Governance", and three girls scored their boyfriends with 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 100% "life-oriented" little man monologue, and there was not even half a sentence to make him laugh in the dialogue.
Margie Tsang kept the clouds open, renewed the contract, and gave in wirelessly.
Speaking of the acting skills of the three sisters, Mei Xiaohui and Yang Ling, A Qian, who belongs to the "pretty girl type", needless to say, her appearance is dominant. In the past, because she had hardly met the role she had the chance 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, depending on her appearance and better mood. 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 wireless negotiating a new contract with Achan 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 Zhou. However, after the "public-private partnership" decided to "add meals", wireless also gave way to A Qian to sign a ministerial contract. Therefore, many actors who haven't made any breakthrough in the TV circle in 1967 are actually waiting for an opportunity, such as Wu Qihua and other rogue tycoons, Wu Zhenyu and Gillian, Lin Junxian and other films such as Men's True Color, Pioneer of Thunderbolt, Pisces and so on.
Mei Xiaohui, the second sister of the ugly duckling, has a healthy image of winning acting.
The second sister, Paley, and the younger sister, Pei Shan, are housewives of the Zhang family. Their image and personality are like "ugly ducklings", and sometimes they are nervous about their appearance. Mei Xiaohui's role in this role is like "tailor-made". Although she is not a "beautiful girl" in appearance, Xiaohui, who has a sunny face and a very healthy image, is actually a very talented actress. When she was at ATV, she was the first heroine. After job-hopping, she had more performance opportunities than many A-list actresses. It seems that Xiaohui has acted in plays such as Legend of Thousands of Households, Heroes on Earth and Naughty Gemini. 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 by acting.
Yang Ling, also known as "Yang Zi", has a natural personality.
Yang Ling, who was born in wireless and came back after running around ATV, is actually the oldest of the three sisters. However, her "boy head" looks always make her look like the little sister next door. The most rare thing for her to play Pei Shan as a "little sister" is that the hero is completely natural, not "artificial". It is said that the well-known staff also called her "Andy" for this reason and didn't treat her as a girl at all. The best is Margie Tsang, because she lives with Yang Ling in the New Territories and often drives 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 that Margie Tsang drove her male colleague back to Clear Water Bay.
Light comedy is an animation for adults, so there is no need to follow the plot and less burden.
Light comedies on TV stations are actually very similar to cartoons of adults, and adults like to watch comedies to a greater extent than 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, the appeal of novellas will never be as good as that of light comedies with bright rhythm, ease and delicacy. 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, of course, they most hope to have some TV programs that are easy to laugh and don't feel any burden when watching them. I believe this is also the "voice" of every TV fan.
It is known that after the twenty-four episodes of Sandwich between Private and Public are broadcast, the third issue of "Comedy Convenience Store" will be played by another actor, Luo Huijuan, who is full of comedy cells. However, due to the news that the producer of "Common Governance" Cen will join the young producer of "Love Can't Help" to quit ATV, Cen should not be the producer of the third comedy "Convenience Store".
