Shooting the crew of "Getting married and having children" is the best example of "grasping SARS with one hand and grasping the economy with the other". During SARS, the stars who canceled their performances were forced to stay at home and do nothing. However, the creative staff of Shi Ying Film and Television Art Company hid in an orchard research base at the foot of Xiangshan Mountain, took out the script of 40 episodes of sitcom "Getting married and having children" planned in 2002, and quietly turned it on.

As the name of this blockbuster movie implies: a divorced couple, each with their own children, rearranged and combined. Liu Xiaohong is a divorced entertainment journalist, raising her eight-year-old son Tian Liang alone. Ding, a deskmate in primary school, is now the "general manager" of a company, living alone with Ding Lili, a daughter of 13 years old who was abandoned by her mother. Two people who don't belong to the same world came together, experienced bumps and bumps, and finally lived a happy life.

Take off "Sister Ma"' s bloated coat and gray headdress, and Cai Ming will be young and handsome again. Whether it's a white western-style wedding dress or a pink Chinese jacket, Cai Ming, who has become the "Liu Xiaohong", ignored the fading "war without smoke" outside the garden in a studio surrounded by green trees and "married the children" without anyone and family.

Ying Zhuang's identity can be seen from his hairstyle-the general manager of a company. After experiencing different reactions from the audience, such as strangeness, doubt, criticism and recognition, Ying Zhuang co-starred with Cai Ming again after the psychological clinic. Xiao Feng, the screenwriter of China Restaurant, came back from the United States again and became the literary coordinator of the play. The director is naturally Ying Da. Among the relatively fixed creative staff, Ying Ning, the youngest brother of the British family, is not a screenwriter and director this time, but skillfully acts as a live director in front of four switch machines in the editing room.

In the past ten years, the employees of various "posts" of Shi Ying Film and Television Art Company have been promoted unconsciously. The driver leaves the steering wheel and operates the button of the light; Lighting engineer, with a thick notebook, plays an important role as deputy director outside the work room; Photographers turned to live production and audience seating management. ...

Due to the cessation of almost all entertainment activities, the big names in Beijing entertainment circle are squatting at home. Compared with Ying Da's call in the past, it is easier to come at the drop of a hat. There is a huge parking lot outside the work room, and famous cars of various brands gather. Before entering the studio, I was stopped by a staff member with a thermometer. The meticulous appearance looks very professional, and I shook it twice before I was willing to let it out. Producer Wang Xiaojing proudly said: "During the whole SARS period, we only delayed less than ten days." This means that due to the measures taken, there is no suspected patient so far.

Although the shooting plan started on time and the process was not affected, the outside world knew almost nothing. Wang Xiaojing reluctantly spread out his hand: "Breaking the convention, the boot ceremony and the press conference were not opened." The cancellation of the press conference means that the channels for interviews and reports are blocked. Objectively, it is quite a bit like the secretive director Zhang Yimou, Chen Kaige and even Zhang Guoli.

Drawing on the previous sitcoms that emphasized the comic effect of character dialogue and ignored the characterization, Marrying a Wife and Having Children paid more attention to characterization. Because it is a marriage theme, the discussion on marriage and family issues has been strengthened. This paper attempts to discuss all kinds of family disputes faced by Ding after marriage and having children, such as: how to educate children; How to treat both parents; How to understand the past emotional problems of both sides; How to deal with their status at home; How to respect each other's different living habits, etc., to reveal the simple truth that seems simple but easy to be ignored in marriage life.

Another feature different from previous sitcoms is that "Getting married and having children" doesn't win with a local dialect. Instead, it focuses on depicting the unique complex mentality of two divorced and remarried people with witty and humorous arguments like college students' debates and line-drawing plots like little theatre drama. They will face all kinds of unavoidable contradictions, which are exactly what the audience in front of the TV often encounter in their lives.

Director Ying Da, who has accumulated ten years' experience, will make another brand-new attempt in sitcoms with 40 episodes of Getting Married and Having Children. The "SARS" campaign is coming to an end, and "getting married and having children" is about to end in the season when the fruits are first hanging.

The bizarre plot and rich dialects are the most basic elements in the sitcom, which can't be found in the new work "Marrying a Wife and Having Children". Ying Da said: "The most popular sitcoms we do are family works, and now we want to do a series of workplace sitcoms, so that sitcoms can get out of the old family model. The workplace series includes stories of tax offices. These works actually originated from the stories of the editorial department. This change will take great risks. In the past, our positioning was mainly for non-professional audiences, and the broadcast time was also in line with their viewing habits. They may be students, old people, housewives, mostly short stories from parents, but this time we turned our attention to white-collar workers. This is also the expansion of sitcoms in the market, and the expansion is bound to be risky. " People are more than just entertainment elements.

Ying Da said: "At the beginning, sitcoms attached great importance to entertainment elements for fear that the audience would not laugh. We try our best to make the audience laugh in language and action, but we ignore the key element of characterization. When watching "I Love My Family", the audience can't remember exactly what each character said and what happened in each episode, but they remember the vivid characters in it, which is very telling. " "Getting married with children" is a bit like a college debate, with the style of little theatre drama. Every episode gives the audience some thoughts about family. However, sitcoms reduce the entertainment. Can they still be comedies? In this regard, Ying Da believes: "Thinking is not necessarily not entertaining, and exploration is not necessarily heavy." Ying Da took his "Couples Theater" as an example. "We are discussing the topic of marriage with the guests in every episode, but the audience is also laughing. The key lies in the humorous attitude and the way of entertainment. " It's hard to get a sitcom.

Cai Ming has completed 523 episodes of sitcoms, which can be said to be the actress with the largest number of sitcoms in China. Regarding Ying Da's new thinking, Cai Ming thinks: "The stage of performing a sitcom is the most difficult, which is between sketch and general TV series. The sitcom has been filmed for so many years, and it is still a life-like work that can make the audience sing. The success of the idle Ma Dajie lies in that she has become synonymous with helping others. I play an entertainment in "Marriage and Children", hoping that she can become synonymous with career happiness. "

Comment: Do comedies have to be deepened?

Ying Da said that sitcoms should go out of the family. He also said that thinking is not necessarily not entertaining, and exploration is not necessarily heavy. Ying Da described his grand plan to transform sitcoms. It seems that he is ready to give a deep face to the cheeky sitcom.

In theory, thinking is not necessarily entertaining, but it is difficult to do it in practice. Most of the popular comedies are Liang Zuo-style cross talk comedies, Wang Shuo-style teasing comedies and Peisi Chen-style body comedies, but none of them can bring in-depth thinking in joy. If Ying Da's comedies can complete this transformation, it will undoubtedly make this kind of dramas achieve a qualitative leap. However, if there is no essential concept of progress after the film is broadcast, say it twice. At best, it will be called a failed exploration, at worst, it will be dismissed as a cliche of hype.
