Why do comedy characters have a sad background behind them?

Giving the comedian a bleak backdrop is a foil, so that a more desirable effect will be achieved.

Because many comedies want to express sad themes, such as Stephen Chow's movies.

Because the author writes those comedic characters, often to set off his tragedy.

It should be a sad and joyful writing technique to set off this sad background.

Because the performance of comedy can better set off the purpose of tragedy.

I think it wants to inspire people to have happiness after the sadness.

It is through this contrast that it attracts people's attention and resonates with people.

This can complement each other, otherwise how can it bring out the benefits of comedy.

This creates a more stark contrast.

I think it is not easy for everyone to succeed, success has a reason for success, and existence is reasonable. Some people come from humble backgrounds, but they learn to be strong, some people come from wealthy families, but they learn to be cowardly, and sadness is only available to villains, a real gentleman will not be patient with Jane's sadness, because sadness will give you sadness, and on the contrary, optimism will bring you happiness, I choose.

Chen Peisi once said that all comedy has a tragic coreComedy is essentially an absurd representation of a tragic event, and for comedians, they need to abandon their original image and play the role of a self-deprecating person or even a clownto bring that sense of humor to the audienceWhile comedy brings joy to the audience, it often sacrifices the dignity of the comedian, and then make the audience laugh, before they will often embarrass themselves, and then criticize some other ugly phenomena in society. Comedy and humor at the highest level are often laughter and tears, which can make people happy at the same time, but also provoke people to think and let people see some unfair phenomena now.

Comedy is a humorous satire

Stephen Chow, the king of comedy

The comedian will amuse the audience with all kinds of antics and the audience will forget the grievances they have suffered in life, but the comedian will also have sad times, but he understands what the real definition of comedy is, so he will not be amused by other comedians, it is precisely because the more he perceives the problems in society, the more comedians will realize the true value of comedy, and they will fight for the profession of comedians, but he himself knows the desolation of his heart.

When comedians are performing, even if they have just experienced something bad, they are very sad, or they are in a bad mood, they have to raise their smiling faces and bring laughter to everyone on stage, they are people who cannot have their own emotions.

Because comedians hide their hearts through the joy on stage, because only the sad can better experience the importance of joy to others.

Because the comedian has to rack his brains to think about how to make everyone happier, and his suppressed negative emotions can't be released.

Because comedians, they have to do a lot of homework behind the scenes, and even if they are not happy, they have to make everyone happy.

In fact, there are many comedians who suffer from depression, such as Chaplin, Jim Carrey, and Mr. Bean, ......Are there any misconceptions about depression? People who love to laugh must not be depressed?

Depression has many manifestations, such as a low self-esteem, a very negative experience of life, and no hope for the future. These three negative perceptions are at the heart of depression.

Mental illness itself has a certain subjectivity and secrecy. The reason why we are surprised to hear that some people suffer from depression, such as comedians or friends close to them, is because they usually present to us in a way that conforms to their social roles. At its core, depression is subjectively painful, and if it is not severe enough to disrupt social functioning, it is difficult for others to detect it.

When it comes to comedians, they represent a class of professions, and in fact professions have an interplay with people's personalities. People with certain personality traits will prefer and adapt to a certain profession, and the things that this profession has always had to do and the identity that they have always had to play will in turn affect a person's personality and other psychological characteristics. A profession like a comedian is really only suitable for a few people.

A person who is suitable for the profession of comedian needs to have a certain sensitivity in ordinary life, and he can be touched and capture the fun of the details that others ignore and are not sensitive. On the other hand, he needs to have a unique coping style, often using laughter or playfulness to face the pain and difficulties in life, so he can create comedy works. Many comedies show the dilemmas, limitations, and failures that people often have in life, but the actors show them exaggerated or unexpected to make people feel funny.

In the world of comedians, many times life is not satisfactory, but actors can face it in a way that "laughs and dispels sadness". There are pros and cons to this way of facing difficulties, although there is joy and relief at the time, but facing grief with laughter is actually running away from grief and belittling grief. If this practice is used too much, it will make a person incomplete, let alone face the true self and life.

A healthier way is to face grief, accept grief, allow yourself to be sad and depressed at times, allow life to be sad and helpless at times, and allow people not to laugh when they have to be sad.

Maybe it's not just comedians, the profession of actor also has mental health risks. Because an actor needs to deeply understand the heart of the character he is playing in a nuanced way. A really good actor is a laugh or sadness from the heart, so the actor is required to completely transform himself when playing the role and really enter the role.

How Qiao Shan thinks that "comedians are pessimistic".
