About creation: Have we played "offensive" art?

01

The new season of "Talk Show Conference",

The woman on the cusp of the storm

——Yang Li, also Back.

She has become a nightmare for men because she was accused of "causing gender antagonism".

She seems to have softened a lot.

When it comes to relationships, she is no longer so sharp.

Instead, she walks in the "Qiong Yao style" softly by talking about Qiong Yao.

Yang Li no longer talked about the bad nature of men,

but changed the topic,

using his own love as the starting point,

The emotional self-movement

satirizes girls’ love brain.

If talk show is an art of "offending",

every talk show actor will

think about who the "offensive" target is before performing. Better.

To play regional memes, it’s best to stay away from your own country;

To play group memes, it’s best to stay away from modern Chinese life;

Or just like Guo Degang also stared at his acquaintance Yu Qianshan.

Because these are the safest and least offensive methods.

But it’s all “offensive” art.

Isn’t it a bit boring to be afraid of this and that?

Don’t we have the soil to tolerate this kind of culture?

In daily life, I don’t know if everyone has encountered a kind of person.

Dissing other people’s personal affairs, appearance, and personality at will,

I also feel that I just made a "harmless" "joke",

Most of the time it is embarrassing and annoying,

There are also some who like to make "yellow accents" People who tell some sex jokes are even more annoying.

But talk show is an advanced form of ridiculing humor.

Actors sometimes tear themselves apart.

Sometimes they satirize others willfully.

Every "line" is the essence of what they wrote after thinking for a long time.

It seems that they are just using the "offensive art" of talk show to use it with exquisiteness and wit. The language expresses the humor of complaining.

Looking at Yang Li's current performance,

the "offended" object is himself,

the female group in which he lives.

Perhaps due to personal safety threats other than online violence,

She chose a relatively safe partner.

This makes people wonder,

It was just a joke, why did it become life-threatening in the end?

Have we played with "offensive" art?

02

To think about this issue, go back to last year.

In the third season of "Talk Show Conference",

Yang Li caused controversy because of her complaint about "Why does a boy look so ordinary, but he can be so confident?"

In the eyes of most girls, this sentence is a brilliant and true reflection of the vast majority of men around them.

They are very confident and always behave in the world. Don't listen to other people's suggestions.

Don't think so, just listen to me!

They like to be with men who are equally confident.

There are absolutely male organizations such as brotherhoods abroad.

Common men usually persuade others. The way is,

I want this, I think this is good,

You don’t even understand, I am absolutely righteous.

Fortunately, they are teachers.

They are particularly good at persuading others not to do anything.

They are full of great principles and life experiences.

The world has been suffering from "inexplicably confident men" for a long time,

But no one can sum up this phenomenon well,

There is no noun to describe this phenomenon group of people.

So the emergence of Yang Li’s complaints makes up for this gap.

It makes people feel interesting and reasonable.

And it only uses one sentence or one word to be accurate. The land represents this group of people.

But it happens that some of the men who were complained by Yang Li

thought that they were deeply "offended",

and their self-confidence did not allow it. Accept this "joke" yourself.

But facts speak louder than words.

What cannot be stopped is the public’s recognition of the three words “Plain Faithful Man”.

These three words even It has been summed up as a word of the times.

People nowadays can't seem to bear any grievance.

Some people say, "I feel offended, but I like this offense."

Can poke A certain point in the article caused cries of "offense".

It actually reflects a real problem.

It is not scary to have problems. What is scary is to avoid problems and be afraid of them.

The problem of common men does exist.

It makes people reflect on the far-reaching influence of China’s patriarchal society hidden behind it.

It makes people think People have seen that women in today's society do still encounter some visible or invisible discrimination and injustice.

It makes people reflect on the fact that men's standards for treating themselves are often much lower than those for women.

But these real problems are all described as "punching".

Nowadays it seems that any problem can be avoided by labeling it,

in one word.

In real life,

there is no "offense" involving insult, slander, slander, or name-calling.

It seems that it just hits a part of the people who have this problem. ,

is out, what about in history and culture?

03

"Jiangnan White Scenery" was supposed to be a game with ancient style as its selling point,

but it was different from what it looked like, cloaked in traditional culture. ,

Doing things that insult historical figures.

The anti-gold hero Yue Fei is portrayed as an idler,

The appearance is designed into the image of a surrenderer who "leads the sheep with bare skin"

And those in history The traitorous ministers Qin Hui and Wei Zhongxian were turned into SSR-level characters (the highest level of cards in the card game). CCTV also criticized this.

The game company later responded by removing several cards.

But it affects much more than that.

FGO, a popular game that used the names of historical figures, also suffered.

But unlike Jiangnan Baijingtu,

this game just borrowed The names of historical figures have been removed,

The plots on the cards are all in the style of ordinary otaku games,

Most players are dissatisfied with being implicated in everything.

King of Glory, which started off by relying on historical figures, has not been affected.

King of Glory has built-in functions such as "Historical Him" ??in the game,

allowing more players to learn about real historical figures,

thus To misinterpret history.

Although each character’s image and skin still have a strong two-dimensional style.

But underneath the skin is still orthodox history.

Of course, insulting history cannot be forgiven.

Respecting history is absolutely correct.

But some light-hearted "imaginary creations" can also be interesting.

Let more people want to know the real history.

The story of the Three Kingdoms is also very popular in Japan.

Last year there was a film made by a director famous for making comedy films.

The Three Kingdoms-themed comedy " New Interpretation·Three Kingdoms".

The most impressive thing is that

Diao Chan’s actor found a fat comedian to play the role.

Liu Bei used modern vision to Looking at her,

I think this woman is definitely not good.

How could she seduce Dong Zhuo and Lu Bu?

Dong Zhuo and Lu Bu looked at it with an ancient vision of beauty as fat.

He was indeed fascinated by the fat Diao Chan and "turned against him".

The most exquisite thing is that in the end Diao Chan takes off her disguise.

What emerges is a pure and lovely slender woman with modern aesthetics.

But Lu Bu thought he was too "ugly" and chopped him down with a sword.

Before her "death",

she exclaimed, "I hope to be born in an era where I am considered beautiful!" "

Using the hypothesis that "fatness was considered beautiful in ancient times" and using modern vision to create a contrast, it not only insults history, but also achieves the purpose of being funny.

If someone wants to argue, they will definitely say that the ancients also had aesthetics.

How could they think that fat man is good-looking?

This plot does not respect history.

Where could there be such a whole-body disguise technique in ancient times!

Some people just laughed after watching it.

And they will remember the characters and plots because of these funny clips.

They will also remember the new interpretations because of these funny clips. To understand the real history,

Sometimes, compared to serious science popularization,

such a relaxed approach is more acceptable.

Desperately looking for details and mistakes, to criticize and resist,

But in this case, wouldn’t it be better to watch a historical drama?

The same is true for talk shows in real life.

As an adjustment to daily life,

everyone can just continue to live their own lives after watching the show.

But many people deliberately attack and threaten a talk show actor,

to the point where personal safety cannot be guaranteed.

How can you be happy if you are so serious?

What should really be "besieged"

Isn't it malicious to gain attention?

Label a joke as "antagonism between men and women"

Are some people creating a war of public opinion?

04

Although comedy contains "offenses" to some taboos,

Sometimes the greater the taboo is offended, the better the comedy effect.

Literary and artistic works for the public require a moral and ethical bottom line,

so some balance should be found in the performance,

to avoid inadvertent offense turning into violation.

But too much avoidance of "offense" changes the taste of comedy.

In recent years, the Spring Festival Gala cross talk sketches have been in a downturn.

Traditional comedy variety shows have become worse and worse.

They should have made people laugh easily.

But in the end, it always takes the path of sensational education.

When traditional comedy lacks vitality and creativity because it dares not offend,

Young talk shows make up for it. ,

It was the

dare to speak and dare to offend

in the early complaints and talk shows that laid the foundation for the flourishing development of today's talk shows.

Complaint conferences have become increasingly safe in the past two years

Being complained against is a whitewashing conference,

Not to mention film and television comedies,

It’s been a long time since I’ve had a well-received work.

05

Can we play with "offensive" art?

Yes, it worked well in the past, which shows that we have this foundation.

But it has been a long time since we have made something as funny and funny as "Dong Cheng Xi"

works.

The reason why such a work is safe and will not be criticized may also be because it has passed a long time and has become a classic.

There are too many people who can't think about it now.

They can criticize everything in the world without thinking through the keyboard.

Those exquisitely crafted works,

Because they don’t understand it, they have to become more vulgar.

Because they understand it “too” well, they have to become more “safe”.

Works that can cross into the safe zone are the same as people who enter the comfort zone.

They will eventually lose their original creative vitality.

The bottom line of artistic creation must be adhered to, but

There should be fewer taboos and less criticism.

There should be fewer labels and less controversy.

Be more tolerant and thoughtful

Be more free and open.

There are many more good works.
