Chapter 1633 The Experimental Field of Movie Comedy
Zhou Buqi felt that when his sister grew up, he would stop treating her as a child and at least cultivate her as an equal.The next day, I took her to Jieyu Media and met Xu Baihui.

Straight to the point, Zhou Nan said happily, "Sister Baihui, I won!"

It seems that they have discussed this topic long ago.

Xu Baihui had a black line on his forehead, "Happy twist?"

"Correct!"

Zhou Nan grinned, looking triumphant.

Xu Baihui looked at Zhou Buqi helplessly, and said with a headache, "Boss Zhou, Jieyu Media is in the film and television industry, not related to the theater business."

Zhou Nan rushed to talk: "It's all performances, and the same goal by different routes!"

Xu Baihui said angrily: "It's a shame that you are still learning acting. Theater performance and film and television performance are completely two modes. Those great artists of Renyi, let them act in movies and TV shows, how many are outstanding? These are basically two industries! "

Zhou Nan muttered: "The performance can also be adjusted, as if you are more professional than me."

Xu Baihui didn't want to pay attention to her, "Boss Zhou, what do you think? Even if she is your younger sister, you can't take her around with you."

"Who messed around?"

"What's the matter?"

"Of course it's business." Zhou Buqi snorted, "Public is public, private is private, when did you see me getting involved with my personal affairs in the company?"

Xu Baihui blinked her eyes a few times, "Is there still less? If it's up to me, I won't sign any of Jiang Bingjie and Di Lireya."

"Ahem..." Zhou Buqi waved his hands with a serious look, "That's right, I think Nan Nan's idea is feasible. Baihui, you were right just now, drama performance and film and television performance are two different systems .But, comedy is comedy. Do you think Zhou Xingxing is an orthodox comedy show?"

"Well..." Xu Baihui nodded lightly, "However, there is only one Zhou Xingxing in the world. Even in Hollywood, there is only one Jim Carrey. The other very successful comedians are all orthodox film and television performance models. You Watching the comedies directed by Xiao Gang, they are all orthodox performance systems."

Zhou Buqi dismissed it, "You can still give it a try, I like their acting style quite a bit. Comedies, moderately exaggerated performances may be an advantage."

Zhou Nan nodded again and again, "Yes, yes, that's it, Sister Baihui, the theater of Happy Twist is very popular. They have a new play called "The Earl of Wulong Mountain", which is also very interesting. You can do it when you are free. Go see."

Xu Baihui sat across from the sofa and told the secretary to postpone the "People on the Journey" market analysis meeting to be held for an hour, and then took a deep breath, "Boss Zhou, do you really want to do this?"

Zhou Buqi said: "It is very necessary. Look at this summer file, the "Tangshan Earthquake" directed by Xiaogang is not as popular as "People on the Journey", which shows the popularity of comedy. potential."

Xu Baihui nodded lightly, "Well, Hua Yi was quite touched. It seems that director Xiaogang has quickly set up a project to make a sequel to "If You Are the One", a comedy. I just want to make a quick buck and make up for the loss return."

"That's right, that's the truth."

Zhou Buqi felt that Jieyu Media wanted to gain a firm foothold in the domestic film and television industry. Apart from winning the team of Ning Hao, Xu Zheng, and Huang Bo, it was not enough. It was best to win Happy Twist as well!

If this is done, Jieyu Media's leading position in the domestic film and television industry will be completely stabilized, and it will not be just a low-level entertainment company that sells variety shows.

Then, he described the combination mode of stage comedy and film comedy again.

This is definitely an industry innovation.

The stage allows for a higher error tolerance rate. If a performance is not good, it is only for 1000 audiences, and the impact will not be great.If one performance is not good, it will be fine to sum up the experience in the next performance and correct it.

But movies are different. Once you make a mistake, the investment will be screwed up.

Theater comedy can be an experimental field for film comedy!

"Yes, that's it, brother, you are so great!" Zhou Nan applauded, "I found out for the first time that you are so smart!"

Zhou Buqi glared at her, "Your brother is very smart!"

Xu Baihui thought about it slowly and said, "Then do you know Deyun Club?"

"of course."

"They have become popular in the past few years, and they have become very famous. They have also jumped out of the theater to make movies and TV series. Master Guo has also acted in person, starring in several movies, "Hu Sanniang and Dwarf Tiger Wang Ying", and just last month. The "Three Smiles: Talented Scholars and Beautiful Ladies" that were released were all failures, losing word of mouth and box office."

Zhou Buqi shook his head, "There is still a difference. No matter what genre or mode of acting, there is a threshold for this thing after all. The few people in Deyun Club have good cross talk, but their acting skills are really unappreciated. Even if it's a comedy, it's really a show. Theater performances are also visual performances, and cross talk performances are more auditory performances."

Xu Baihui gave a soft "hmm".

Zhou Nan said: "Sister Baihui, my brother has already said that the way of comedy is the right way. "Tangshan Earthquake" is so well shot, what's the use? The audience doesn't want to spend money to pay for the crime. Watch Deyun Club and Happy Twist theaters, including the Liu Laogen stage at my house, are actually all the same, they all bring joy to the audience, which is what the society needs most.”

Xu Baihui rolled his eyes at him, "You know the truth, but I don't understand?"

Zhou Nan said puzzledly: "Then why are you hesitating? Just like what my brother said, I bought Happy Twist, combining stage comedy with film comedy. The most powerful comedy team in China is directed by Xiao Gang, that is Hua Yi Yes. If Jieyu Media wants to compete with them, it has to recruit more troops."

Xu Baihui pondered for a long time before slowly saying: "If you really want to do it, it will be a series of very complicated things, not just a combination of stage comedy and movie comedy."

Mr. Xu is a veteran in the entertainment industry, and she has already considered many things.

Zhou Buqi asked: "What?"

Xu Baihui stretched out three fingers, "First, in the small theaters in the capital, besides cross talk, Peking opera, stage play, and musical, there is another form that is very popular among young people."

"What is it?"

"Talk show."

"Oh!"

Zhou Buqi suddenly realized.

Xu Baihui said: "Since Nan Nan mentioned Happy Twist, I have seen more than 20 performances by them. They are really exciting, and they are the most marketable theater form in China today. Well, I have never been to Liu Laogen's big stage, I don't know What's going on over there?"

Zhou Buqi is from the Northeast. There are many duo theaters in his hometown, so he knows better, "Don't go! It's not interesting! It's not inappropriate for children. It's often disgustingly vulgar and unsightly."

Xu Baihui nodded lightly, "Happy Twist's stage play is very good, but there is a serious problem. Their transitions are not good. They are stage plays in a large theater, and the props are very complicated. It takes a long time to arrange. This is the same as Cross talk is different, one group of people finish talking, and another group of people continue to talk. I have encountered accidents twice, maybe the transition props were not set up properly, and the audience became agitated during the intermission of more than ten minutes."

"what?"

Zhou Buqi raised his eyebrows and heard what she meant.

Zhou Nan's little brain was also spinning quickly, "So you mean to add the talk show? After a stage play is over, the curtain will be pulled down, and then the talk show actors will perform a simple performance, and then turn to Stage play? Sister Baihui, you are so smart, you are smarter than my brother!"

Xu Baihui pursed her lips into a smile, glanced at Zhou Buqi, and jokingly said, "I don't dare, your brother is so powerful, he is so fierce as soon as he enters the house, as if he is going to hit someone."

Zhou Buqi coughed, "Don't be kidding, I never hit women."

Xu Baihui curled her lips, and continued: "The first point is to improve the mode of the Happy Twist stage play, and a talk show transition needs to be added. The second point is that if you want to move their stage comedy to the big screen, you need to make a lot of effort." star."

"Star-making?"

"Yes, the theater model means that you can play in the first-tier big cities like Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen. If you go to Jinmen, you will lose money. The audience of these theater actors who are happy to twist is still too small. If you want to make a movie, you have to let They have to be famous."

"I have a way!"

Zhou Nan raised his hand excitedly.

Xu Baihui wanted to test her, "What way?"

Zhou Nan said in a hurry: "Ask Uncle Benshan for help, help them polish a comedy sketch, and go to the Spring Festival Gala stage."

Xu Baihui said with a smile: "This is a way, but now fewer and fewer young people watch the Spring Festival Gala. Apart from Uncle Benshan, the sketches of the Spring Festival Gala basically have no influence. Jieyu Media's housekeeping skills are reality show variety shows. programme."

Zhou Nan suddenly realized, "Oh! Variety show! Do you want to make a comedy reality show?"

Xu Baihui said: "Reality shows are an opportunity. Now that there are so many video sites, young people like to watch movies and TV shows on the Internet. With the spread of the Internet, it will be easier to create stars."

Obviously, she has a deep understanding of this industry, one young person at a time.Because she knows that if the domestic film market wants to flourish, those over the age of 30 are basically useless, and they can only rely on the young people born in the 80s and 90s who grew up in the environment of reform and opening up. This generation is the market economy hope.

Zhou Buqi was very satisfied, "That's right, reality shows, from stage plays to reality shows, and then movies on the big screen, this is a one-stop ecological industrial structure. It's a very good business model."

Xu Baihui rolled his eyes at him, "There's the third point, talk shows. Maybe there can be talk shows, and talk show actors are also comedians. The more important point is that the threshold for talk shows is low, unlike Cross talk is so complicated. After writing the script and writing the jokes, it’s the same for the stars to come on stage and say it.”

"Okay, it's a good design, so it's settled!" Zhou Buqi waved his hand, and then he was a little surprised, "Haven't you thought it all over, why are you still reluctant?"

Xu Baihui said angrily: "The thing I am most concerned about now is going public. Such a big project, how can it be so easy to do? I don't wait for her to graduate and the company goes public before re-layouting."

Zhou Nan looked embarrassed.

If there was only one stage play business, she felt that she could barely participate in it.But sister Baihui has developed such a large set of ecological industries, which is too scary.

She was not confident that she could do well, so she looked at her brother pitifully, waiting for him to save the situation.

Zhou Buqi said proudly: "Since this is the case, then it's settled. Everything else should be taken slowly, first acquire Happy Twist. Taking advantage of the opportunity of listing, directly use shares to acquire, let them also get involved in the listing. the spring breeze."
