Special feature of 1905 film network In 2022, the movie channel launched the People of the Month.Focus on the movie big coffee,Share creative experience,Movies share a better life.

In August, the film was released in full swing, creating a new box office record every day. This month, the spotlight focused on the star of the film.In summer, I walked into Shen Teng’s light and shadow world with the movie channel and felt his sincere love for comedy.

Red burst

We walked a little more on the stage before the twist, and later it was because the audience got to know us better. On the road of movies, we have been constantly learning and exploring, hoping to continue to deliver happiness to everyone.

Before goodbye mr. loser came into public view, Shen Teng had been "fluttering" for 12 years.

Before becoming a film actor, Shen Teng was a drama actor. In 2003, Shen Teng, who was about to graduate, received a drama script called "I’ll give you a twist if I want to eat it". After passing the interview, he became the first actor of the Mahua FunAge team.

At that time, the drama was a minority art, and it didn’t get the scheduled income. It is said that the most bleak performance only sold four tickets and could only be stopped. And several leading actors stood in the snow, apologized to the four spectators one by one, and returned the ticket money and their round-trip tolls.

By 2012, this situation no longer exists. That year, people all over the country got to know "Hao Jian" through CCTV Spring Festival Evening sketch "Today’s Happiness", and his actor Shen Teng became famous overnight.

After that, Mahua FunAge appeared on the stage of the Spring Festival Evening almost every year, and it was hard to get a ticket for the drama performance. They began to participate in variety shows, won the title of "Happy Comedian" in 2015, and got the title of "king of comedy".

More than ten years’ experience in drama stage has not only honed Shen Teng’s peaceful attitude towards success, but also, most importantly, hundreds of tours in each play have enabled Shen Teng to know the audience’s most direct reaction, "Which package laughed, which package didn’t, how loud the laughter was, and how long the interval between the two laughs was, so as to continuously optimize the plot".

Many viewers didn’t expect Shen Teng to dance so well.

It is this process of "being close to" the audience that made his first film "goodbye mr. loser" win 1.444 billion yuan at the box office, and became an unquestionable dark horse in the film market that year. Shen Teng also completed the triple jump from a small theater actor to a popular comedy star.

However, when it comes to the happiest moment of life in the interview, Shen Teng’s answer is not that the Spring Festival Evening became famous overnight, not that goodbye mr. loser was a box office with a billion dollars, but that "when Mahua FunAge was still wandering in several places in East Cotton Hutong and Heping, a group of distracted young people drank wine, strung around and pondered the baggage day and night".

Many actors lost their way in the flowers and applause, and many people were trapped by the flow and lacked the freedom to choose, while Shen Teng stood there firmly and convinced all the audience that the gust of wind that belonged to him had just blown.

Now the audience is watching more and more good works and expecting more and more works, but comedy works can’t be repeated, which is more difficult for creators. How to arouse the audience’s curiosity in the plot, how to resonate with the audience emotionally, and how funny the burden is, we must constantly ponder.

Shen Teng, who is off-screen and off-program, is a person with a sense of evasion and alienation, similar to other comedy stars. He doesn’t like to interview and expose himself, but he can stand on the stage and in front of the camera, but he has a natural sense of relaxation.

Growing up in the land with a strong comedy background in Northeast China, Shen Teng became interested in art under the influence of his parents. Just as his cognition of Chaplin, "comedy is only one aspect of him, and his satire and exposure are the most powerful things".

After "goodbye mr. loser", Shen Teng had a long gap until the release of two films in 2017 and 2018. Without exception, Shen Teng is playing a nobody, who is not tall, imperfect, wilting, cheap, sometimes greedy and a little chicken thief, but there is always an indestructible kindness in his heart.

It is such a real, unpretentious and unpretentious performance that suits the tastes of the most extensive film audience in China. The box office of Shameful Iron Fist was 2.213 billion, and the box office of the richest man in Xihong City was 2.547 billion. Shen Teng became the most popular comedian after others.

And what is comedy? Shen Teng didn’t give up exploring it. He has explored the deeper part of comedy in his novels, which belongs to the higher part of comedy — — Behind the baggage and jokes, there is a magical power that makes the audience laugh with tears.

For him, comedy is like a cup of milk tea with complicated taste. After drinking it, the bitterness of the tea in the cup is still there, but the audience’s mouth, taste buds and esophagus have been covered with a sweet sponge, and the bitterness and acidity are absorbed together.

Whether it’s Zhang Chi, a washed-up car god in Flying Life, Dafei, who has repeatedly failed in investment in Crazy Alien, or Wu Renteng, the father who tried to cover up his poverty in Four Seas, they all have the sad background of little people more or less. It is also in this way that comedy movies have a more touching charm.

Moon Man, which is being shown recently, is actually different from the previous works of Twist. It is a comedy wrapped in science fiction. In this film, we are more inclined to the story and characters. We put all the baggage in the play and remove all the things arranged outside. I hope the audience can like it.

In the entertainment circle, some people can make up stories, some people can act stories, and some people have stories. Shen Teng happens to be the kind of actor who has a story and can interpret the humor and sadness of little people just right.

In the popular movie Moon Man, Shen Teng also plays a nobody, Duguyue, and puts forward the concept of "middleman" in the movie for the first time. Different from the gag in previous movies, this time, the character played by Shen Teng landed on the moon alone, which means that no one gave him a "bang", and most of his plays were monologues, which is a great challenge for comedians.

Another challenge comes from the massive increase of action scenes. In Moon Man, Shen Teng plays the role of Duguyue, who makes "jokes" at Yuedun base. In order to simulate climbing on the surface of the moon, Shen Teng asked "Weiya to pull gently, and work harder by herself".

In order to pursue the real weightlessness effect of the moon, Shen Teng put on a 40-Jin spacesuit and hung Weiya, and kept rolling, jumping and running. On the basis of a large number of action scenes, Shen Teng also needs to control the comedy feeling of the performance and show his improvisation ability from time to time.

The director praised Shen Teng’s "improvisation ability". "As long as Teng Ge is here and put him in that environment, he will naturally have his inspiration, which I think is the most real and precious".

Some people saw Moon Man’s lineup and pre-sale at the box office, feeling that "it seems to have entered the Spring Festival file ahead of schedule". Of course, compared with the previous films starring him in the Spring Festival, Moon Man under the epidemic is more like a beam of light, which ignited everyone’s cherish of ordinary life with laughter and energy in August.

The movie channel will broadcast Shen Teng’s representative works "Shameful Iron Fist" and "Flying Life" on August 27th, so stay tuned!

In "The Iron Fist of Shame", Shen Teng plays Zhang cornus, the deputy head of the "Lotus Gate", dressed as a martial arts expert, and he taught Addison (Allen) all kinds of unique skills, which seem to be "unreliable, but in fact full of life wisdom".

In "Flying Life", Zhang Chi (Shen Teng), the former car god, returned to the car world after being banned for five years to challenge the younger generation of genius Lin Zhendong (ornaments), which is full of inspirational flavor.

From the stage of drama to the center of the screen, from playing the leading role in comedy movies to becoming a powerful actor who starred in movies with box office exceeding 20 billion, Shen Teng always knew his goal — — With his own comedy talent, he shapes every role in the past, present and future.

As he himself said in an interview with the film channel, "I think domestic comedy movies have always been in the golden age. As a comedian, I will always persist in and explore in this field and constantly challenge new heights."
