The star is legit but sick.

Chapter 572: Making the audience happy is the most important
As a famous actor in the comedy world, Mo Xincheng is naturally very concerned about various comedy works on the market.

His main job is an actor, but he is also a screenwriter and director. Although other people's names were written in the director and screenwriter columns for some of the TV series he starred in, these people have stated in offline interviews that Mo Xincheng was the leader of the filming process.

Unlike directors like Yang Baoyin, Mo Xincheng is acting.

Yang Baoyin can only direct, not act.

Yang Baoyin can only be a comedy director, while Mo Xincheng is an artist.

He has watched movies like "Never Expected" and "A Chinese Odyssey: Part One".

He is also familiar with some memes on the Internet, and it seems to have no difficulty for him to use them.

Xu Ye smiled and said, "You flatter me too much."

Mo Xincheng's face was wrinkled with laughter, why was he still playing the supporting role?

"You two chat, I'm going to go out first." Yao Zhi said.

He stood up and left, closing the door.

The atmosphere in the room was a little tense for a moment.

Xu Ye looked at Mo Xincheng and said, "Teacher, how about I dance for you?"

Mo Xincheng really couldn't hold it in this time.

Why dance when you have nothing to do?

What’s so good about a grown man like you dancing?

He is also a comedian, but he is not like he is on screen in real life.

Shock!

It turns out that Xu Ye's acting skills are not that good, he just played the role in his true colors.

Mo Xincheng finally understood why Xu Ye was so good at playing nonsense.

Your kid is really sick!

"No need to dance. I want to discuss with you the creation of nonsensical comedy."

After reading Xu Ye's works, Mo Xincheng became interested in the nonsensical expression method.

He also reviewed his previous works, and found that some of the jokes in them were actually nonsensical.

But at that time, he did not dig deep into the content, and still took the approach of creating baggage from the story structure and character identity.

However, Xu Ye used the nonsensical technique systematically and even gave this form of comedy a name.

This is not simply making some comedy works, but creating a new comedy genre in Chinese literary and artistic works.

Mo Xincheng said so, and Xu Ye also understood Mo Xincheng's attitude. It was obvious that Mo Xincheng and Yang Baoyin had different attitudes.

Old artists look at things differently.

The two of them had a very pleasant conversation during this brief exchange.

At the end, Mo Xincheng asked, "Brother Xu, do you think that for a comedy, the way of expression is more important, or the purpose?"

Xu Ye smiled and said, "Neither of these two is important. Making the audience happy is the most important thing. Everything else is secondary."

Mo Xincheng nodded and laughed, "That's right!"

The two of them didn't say anything more and got up and left Yao Zhi's office.

Mo Xincheng did not come here to be a director this time, but was invited to be a celebrity guest.

If Mo Xincheng is really brought out to participate in the competition, then the other mentors will have to put it aside.

Naturally, the contestants would rather cooperate with Mo Xincheng.

As the two of them walked towards the studio together, Yang Baoyin just came out of the room.

When he saw Xu Ye and Mo Xincheng, his pupils shrank slightly.

"How did the two of them get together?"

Mo Xincheng's status in the circle is much higher than his. He tried to find Mo Xincheng for cooperation several times but failed. Mo Xincheng looked down on his script and rejected him politely.

"It's okay, it's okay. Teacher Mo didn't even like my notebook, so he definitely wouldn't like Xu Ye's. It should be that Teacher Mo just gave Xu Ye some pointers. There will be no chance for them to work together!"

Yang Baoyin comforted himself in his heart.

If Mo Xincheng was willing to cooperate with Xu Ye but not with him, it would be a real stab in his heart.

More importantly, working with Xu Ye is still a matter of attitude.

Yang Baoyin walked up to Mo Xincheng, greeted him, and then went ahead.

When he sat in the tutor's seat, Hu Jinping was already there.

Hu Jinping was always very enthusiastic. When he saw Yang Baoyin coming, he greeted her and asked, "Director Yang, how are your preparations for this show going?"

"It's okay." Yang Baoyin said.

He suddenly thought of something and asked, "No instructor will be on stage this time, right?"

Hu Jinping knew what Yang Baoyin meant as soon as he heard it.

Isn't this just asking about Xu Ye's situation?
But there's nothing to hide.

"Not this time." said Hu Jinping.

"Really? Then it's finally fair this time." Yang Baoyin said sarcastically.

Hu Jinping looked down on people like Yang Baoyin.

What's the point of saying bad things about people behind their backs? If you have the guts, go and say it in front of Xu Ye. But you know you can't win the argument with Xu Ye.

Hu Jinping laughed and said, "Yes, if I lose to Xu Ye again this time, I will lose face."

Yang Baoyin's expression suddenly froze.

The last time he lost, he felt that a big part of the reason was that Xu Ye played in person.

Xu Ye's acting skills and popularity can be said to be the best in this show.

You played it yourself, so it's normal for you to win.

"The actors in Xu Ye's team are the ones we selected. Except for Liu Bo he brought with him, the level of the others is very average." Yang Baoyin said to himself.

At this time, Xu Ye also sat in the tutor's seat and started chatting with Hu Jinping.

After the other two mentors took their seats, the recording of the program officially began.

After the host introduced the mentors, he introduced the celebrity guests. Mo Xincheng's arrival drew cheers from the audience.

Then the performance officially began.

Backstage, each team had already drawn a performance order.

The first team to take the stage was Feng Yan's team.

The keyword Feng Yan drew was sports, and her story tells what happened to a couple when they were watching a football game together.

The plot of the entire sketch is quite standard, and many ridiculous things happen in the process.

Xu Ye also laughed several times.

After Feng Yan's show, it was Hu Jinping's skit.

The keyword Hu Jinping drew last time was "dumplings".

This time, Hu Jinping just went all out.

The name of his sketch is "Dumplings, dumplings, dumplings, dumplings".

When creating this sketch, Hu Jinping was also inspired by Xu Ye.

There are some plots in idol dramas that the audience does not like to watch, but in Xu Ye's hands they are transformed into funny points.

The same is true in "The Young Master and I".

Since the audience dislikes dumplings, he will go for it and do the opposite.

I play with myself!
The overall effect of the show was quite good, with laughter ringing out from the audience from time to time.

After the two skits were performed, Yang Baoyin's face looked very gloomy.

Because both sketches used some nonsensical content, it was obvious that they were learned from Xu Ye.

In fact, since the broadcast of "Never Expected", the trend of nonsensical comedy has been started.

Some creators are also incorporating this technique into their own works.

What is most prominent is not the film and television dramas, but short videos.

Many funny video bloggers in short videos have regarded Xu Ye as an idol and a master.

However, among the many works, Xu Ye’s work is the best.

It’s okay in short videos, no one is a professional actor, just watch the pictures and have fun.

Some of the works that made it to the screen were a little lacking in quality.

Many netizens are still urging Xu Ye to speed up, otherwise there will be nothing to watch.

The more popular the nonsense became, the more embarrassed Yang Baoyin became.

You say it's nonsensical and low-level, but now not only people are doing it, but some professionals are also doing it.

Is it low-level or not? Isn’t it clear in everyone’s mind?

When it was Yang Baoyin's turn to comment, he only said one sentence.

“It’s funny, but it’s not artistic.”

After hearing his words, Mo Xincheng in the celebrity guest seat frowned slightly.

Many audience members at the scene also knew Yang Baoyin’s attitude, but as time went on, some people who originally thought that what Yang Baoyin said made sense also had doubts in their minds.

Isn't funny enough?

Hu Jinping smiled and said, "Then I look forward to Director Yang's work."

The third team to appear was Yang Baoyin's team.

The keyword he drew last time was "young master". His sketch told the story of a young master from a wealthy family who left home for the first time to go shopping.

In this film, Yang Baoyin uses the contrast between his identity as a young master and that of an ordinary person on the street to create a burden.

The young master, who knew nothing about the life of ordinary people, caused some funny things.

But Xu Ye couldn't laugh at all while watching this skit.

Some parts are just too awkward.

The atmosphere at the scene was obviously worse than that at Hu Jinping's time.

As soon as the skit was over, Yang Baoyin started speaking.

"Before the vote, I have a few words to say. I have incorporated a lot of small details into this sketch, but because this is a stage, some things cannot be presented perfectly, such as..."

Yang Baoyin began to talk incessantly.

Backstage, Yao Zhi was almost unable to hold back.

He really thought that Yang Baoyin was just going to say a few words casually, so he turned on Yang Baoyin's microphone, but it turned out that Yang Baoyin had already been talking for five minutes.

He kept explaining how ingenious the design was and what the story was about.

It doesn’t matter if you don’t understand. I’ll explain it to you again.

Finally, Yao Zhi had no choice but to say to Hu Jinping, "Teacher Hu, please stop him."

Hu Jinping was tired of hearing this.

Whatever your intention is, it should be left to the audience to understand and figure out. What's the point of you talking all the time?

Just tell me whether the audience laughed or not.

While Yang Baoyin was talking nonstop, Hu Jinping said with a smile: "Director Yang, I see you have been talking for a long time. It's time to drink a bottle of our juice. This is freshly squeezed juice. There are no additives in it."

Hu Jinping handed a bottle of juice on the table to Yang Baoyin and also gave him an advertisement.

Taking this opportunity, the host immediately said, "Voting begins!"

When the final voting results came out, Yang Baoyin had a total of 172 votes, the same as Hu Jinping.

After seeing the results, Yang Baoyin breathed a sigh of relief.

He almost thought he couldn't even beat Hu Jinping.

A tie is also acceptable to him.

The second to last performance was by Xu Ye's team.

The host announced, "Now, please welcome Brother, why aren't you laughing? You're bringing us the skit 'My Girlfriend is Here'!"
