The first episode of the new series of “Popcorn Weekly” (2nd) leads the way with the movie “Broken. The director of Hell, Chan Mau-hsien and the actors Hsu Kwan-man and Ziva Wong were guests .Chan Mau-hsien, who had always made light comedies, said that he created “Broken. Hell” This story, as a result of the epidemic a few years before, many relatives died, the time feel very bad, so I want to write a story asking “What is the meaning of being a man?” Negative energy , teased by Gu Dezhao, Jin Yanling and Wong Zihua, also remember that Wong once said: “Now the social atmosphere is so bad, we as film workers must have social responsibility, after for the audience to get the pessimistic values in the film, in case it influenced them to act recklessly, and we had too much responsibility to take on.” So when the script came to Xu Guanwen, it had changed a lot. Ziva Wong joked that he also felt unable to convince Chan Mau-hsien, but luckily he was accepted and changed in the end.
But for Xu Guanwen, this is just a comedy. Because Xu Guanwen says that he has a new definition of comedy now, and she believes that while watching a movie makes people feel that the world is better, happier , and that tomorrow will be better, it is a comedy. Those scenes that are forced to make people laugh are old fashioned. Xu Guanwen also said that he often thinks about how he can achieve such a comedy, but he never thought that Chen Moxian could do it.
The two, who are used to making comedies, admitted that they had also discussed whether the film could be turned into a comedy. Xu Kwan-man pointed out that there were many scenes that could have added humorous elements, but Chan Mau-hsien firmly said “no”. Ziva Wong also said that he had dinner with Xu Guanwen before filming began. just “reach both ends”.
When asked how he abandoned his former comedy acting style, Xu said the “All the Way” director told himself at the time: “I grew up watching you, and I like to see you the most, your acting is very unstoppable, but you can not act in comedy? You can be yourself There aren’t so many shades of the past!” All those who call themselves a film must be “there is no shadow of so much of the past”, including Chan Mau-Hsien. Later I figured it out, that is, my previous set of acting methods no longer work today, in short, to think of another set, that is make people completely unknown. Xu Kwan-man claims that he used to wear many hats and forgot about designing characters. Now only acting, they can have time and focus on designing their own characters, for example, this time playing a very persistent complaint, the father’s character is also obsessive, so the father and the fusion into one person, then entering the world of this person.
In the “Master Class” session, Gu Dezhao transformed into a young movie fan and asked Xu Guanwen where the inspiration for his jokes came from. Xu Guanwen harshly said that they all come from everyday life, and he also joked that a third of the jokes come from his wife. For example, when I was worried about the success of the film, my wife completely ignored me and told me to buy a chicken immediately, because that chicken stall only sells ten chickens a day, and if they sell out, there will be chicken soup tonight. Suddenly I felt that it is not the same thing as a film or not. So many times, many things are just seen from the side. When asked if there is a formula for comedy, Xu Guanwen answered firmly “no”. He also said that it is very scientific. But it doesn’t work today, because now even the people selling vegetables in the market know how to take these pictures, and Douyin and Xiaohongshu can take pictures faster than you . Huang Zihua also said that there is no formula for any drama now.
Finally, the duo sent a message to the new generation of actors and directors who want to be in comedy, which is “hard work”. When Ziva Wong said that he was getting a bridge with Xu Guanwen, Xu Guanwen also said, “Now I, Xu Guanwen and Wong Zihua, ‘work’ here! We are both fighting for our lives!” So he could only “build hard”.
