Chapter 117 Negative Reviews: A Step Forward in Career?

[Teacher Liu Talks Movies v: 264.9 million Hello everyone, it's time for Teacher Liu's interpretation again. However, today is the first time in several months that I'm talking about variety shows. Originally, I had already edited a movie, but it was trending a lot yesterday. Many fans asked me to watch this season of "Comedians' Wonderful Night", so I watched it yesterday. And let me tell you, it was really a pleasant surprise.]

I looked into the show "Comedians," and it featured so many comedians that it represented almost half of the domestic comedy scene.

However, I thought it would be another performance by some familiar faces, but I saw something different, especially the third show that I want to talk about, which is called "Traveling Through Li Bai and His Poet Friends".

I won't go into too much detail about the work itself, but look at the expression of this actor named Shen Jian, look at that loud laughter, and look at the level of his schizophrenia and absurdity. Don't you think he's like a person?

Yeah, I also think he resembles that man. To be honest, his performance did have flaws, but for some reason, it gave me hope.

[Qiang Ge Says V: 86 followers] Today a fan asked me to watch Comedians, saying, "Qiang Ge! The guy you commented on last time went to Comedians to be the king of expressions~."

Then I smelled the letter and watched an episode.

To be honest, it was surprisingly good. I knew many of the actors in it, and we were quite familiar with each other. I just sent them a text message to ask about the situation, and they all said that Shen Jian's performance was good, and that the script was written by him.

After all, he's already done stand-up comedy, so there's nothing wrong with writing some funny pieces. As for his performance, from the perspective of sketch comedy, I think it's competent; he's definitely a master of facial expressions, and it's very entertaining.

But going back to movies, I think he still needs a lot of practice before he can make it to the big screen. Many people ask him if he can make comedy movies. He can, but it's a complicated matter.

Movies aren't as simple as you think. They involve investors, directors, crews, producers, and so on—so many stakeholders. As an actor, you have to think about why these people would choose you. Do you have the box office appeal, or does the director need you? These are the real entry tickets to the film industry.

So I think he can gain experience in longer series now and see if there's an opportunity to transition here. Comedy does have a high chance of producing dark horses, but it's too early to say anything like that now.

[A Critic v: 436 million followers The second season of Comedians has finally started airing. I watched the first episode as soon as it aired. Based on the excellent works of the first season, I thought the second season would be able to surpass the old ones. However, the production team and these new actors gave us a huge surprise right from the start.]

The first two works were neither good nor bad; they were just so-so. But the third one, Shen Jian's work, made me think that a stand-up comedian who doesn't want to be a screenwriter isn't a good screenwriter.

I thought Shen Jian's journey from an illiterate internet celebrity to a stand-up comedy stage was the end of his antics, but I never expected him to even appear on a comedy show. You were originally illiterate, yet you still played Li Bai, turning a perfectly good poet into a comical figure.

All I can say is, is this a tragedy of the times, or the end of a comedy? Is it that they really can't find anyone, or are the actors just not good enough anymore?

In short, I couldn't laugh at all during the entire skit. I don't understand what's so funny about a "master of facial expressions" that so many people say. The production team is really just looking for viewership, inviting anyone and everything.

Times of Day.

Many bloggers have offered their own evaluations of comedians.

The most popular comments were all about expressing their opinions on Shen Jian.

Among them, the one with the most fans is the one who makes the most comments.

With over four million followers and tens of thousands of likes per post, this account's influence is undeniable.

And with the release of this rating.

Many marketing accounts also took the opportunity to follow suit, and soon debates from different perspectives began to emerge.

[I think it's great, Shen Jian's expression is just so interesting.]

[A social media influencer who's either a stand-up comedian or a comedian isn't busy enough for him.]

[If you're so capable, why don't you go do it yourself? What are you saying here?]

[We're discussing the work and the performance; are we not allowed to comment on it?]

[This blogger is clearly stirring up trouble. Isn't Shen Jian's acting funny? I thought it was the most interesting episode of the first season.]

[——]

At this moment, Shen Jian, along with Yang Tianzhen and the others, had already arrived at the company.

Afterwards, everyone went to the conference room for a meeting.

"A blogger with four million followers commented, and the subsequent reactions won't be funny. Let's have more marketing accounts post about it to put pressure on them."

""

Yang Tianzhen gave orders.

Liangmu: "This 'complainer' is probably not a person."

These are probably accounts cultivated by some media outlets. We can check later to see if they're signed with an MCN (Multi-Channel Network) company.

"Don't waste time worrying about it, just focus on doing your own thing."

Yang Tianzhen shook her head.

In fact, this situation was exactly what they had anticipated.

The rise of a new star cannot be judged solely on one aspect.

It would be truly wrong if everyone unanimously praised you.

This only proves that your efforts to reach a wider audience are insufficient; the praise you're giving is just fans indulging in self-congratulation.

A star who truly has the potential to become a star.

All of them are controversial.

Whether it's discussing acting skills or character, doubts remain, and without controversy, it proves that the hype hasn't reached that point yet.

The fact that Shen Jian was mentioned by so many influential figures today shows that it's truly time for him to take another step forward.

As for the purpose of these accounts stirring up trouble, those in the know will understand. They often use the most controversial interpretations to gain more popularity and traffic, nothing more.

Lin Youyou: "President Yang, the company has used all the marketing accounts, but the traffic is still a bit lacking compared to those."

Yang Tianzhen smiled and said, "It's okay, let's just keep running like this. Controversy can actually help keep the buzz going for longer."

Liangmu: "I just checked my email and I received quite a few collaboration emails today."

Yang Tianzhen: "So fast?"

Liangmu: "Yes, two manufacturers inquired about live-streaming sales, two brands invited him, two film crews, one is a short drama and the other seems to be Julong Film and Television, and there are also people asking him to do commercial performances."

"!!!"

'

"!!!"

After saying that.

The people around were a little stunned.

It's normal for people to have more business when they become popular.

But it came so quickly.

This was something they hadn't expected.

Lin Youyou exclaimed with amazement, "Wow, so many people have come! Are we finally going to start making money? No wonder they're called the God of Wealth!"

Shen Jian: "So, we'll accept them all?"

Yang Tianzhen: "No, we definitely need to screen people. Live-streaming sales are out of the question, short dramas are even more out of the question, and commercial performances are not good for you."

So just look at the scripts for GG and long-running dramas.

Liangmu: "Okay."
