hit on what one likes

It is an anti-corruption sketch created by happy Mahua team, directed and written by Yan Fei and Peng Damo, and performed by Shen Teng, Ma Li and Du Xiaoyu. The sketch was broadcast on CCTV Spring Festival Gala 2015 on February 18, 2015.

The sketch tells the story of Ma Jingjing, the female section chief, practicing table tennis during working hours in order to flatter the leaders and make Hao Jian, a member of the section who is good at playing table tennis, cater to the hobbies of the leaders.

Creative background

The theme of the sketch involves anti-corruption, which is far away from the life of xinmahua team. In shaping the characters, the happy Mahua team is also trying to cross the river by feeling the stones. They find many friends to understand the situation, and after a lot of rehearsal and running in, they observe their lives to find the status of the character. Among them, Ma Li plays the role of Ma Jingjing in the sketch. She can only cartoon the role according to the requirements of the director. The audience may feel exaggerated and dramatic performance, but this is the design of the creative team. In the rehearsal process, the three people often argue about what emotion should be used for a line. They will eventually measure it and let the third party or the audience judge who should listen to. when the CCTV Spring Festival Gala in 2015 entered the final review stage, the director group asked them to change the program, but there were only four days left from the live broadcast time. The main forces of the happy Mahua team came from all directions to work together to re create the work. That night, they specially sent screenwriter Zhang Chiyu to help them. They wrote a sketch at noon the next day and Shen Teng sent it to the director group of the Spring Festival Gala. That night, the team of the Spring Festival Gala replied that their previous sketch could be put on again, but it needs to be rectified. In the original script, section chief Ma comes to Hao Jian in order to vote for the new director. Hao Jian is summoned by the section chief and wants to vote for the section chief. After the section chief showed his heart, they reached an agreement to make joint efforts to vote for the new director, but the director wanted to practice table tennis well, in fact, he voted for his superior. It's a complete irony. But when the creative team talked with HARVIN, the director of the Spring Festival Gala, HARVIN thought that this would make the audience think that the leader is not good. The final version modified by the creative team is the version performed at the Spring Festival Gala.

Behind the scenes

< ol > < li > the biggest adjustment of the book is that Ma Jingjing said that successive directors preferred the bridge section. During the live broadcast of the Spring Festival Gala, Ma Jingjing interpreted the likes of successive directors for Hao Jian on the laptop on the desk. During the first two rehearsals, the lines were still the same. But Ma Jingjing didn't just say them to the computer. Instead, she pulled the traditional Chinese painting "seal the Marquis immediately" on the wall and instantly revealed another "official protection charm" behind it: a comic strip with the likes of successive directors, each one They all draw the director's hobbies by means of comics. But after the modification, this place was changed to say to the computer. The reason why this paragraph has been modified is that the irony has gone too far. < / Li > < li > there is another small change in his favorite. During the first two rehearsals, Hao Jian became a table tennis net with a bib, which is different from the color of the live broadcast of the Spring Festival Gala. At first, it was a dark brown fabric, the mesh was not so big, and the director didn't joke that "the bib should be added with counterweight".

Work evaluation

It is quite difficult to explain the current policies and ideas with comic sketches. The choice of theme, the scale of lines and the design of laugh points all put forward very high requirements for the creators. The sketch "to his liking" is a successful attempt. "Anti corruption" theme sketch is not easy to control. The comedy image created by the creator of the work with the "dual three" structure presents different role positioning: "flatterer" Ma Ke Chang and Hao Jian who want to become a full-time man become the duality of creating contradictions, but their role positioning is different. Ma Ke Chang is the object of criticism in the work, so she is portrayed as a person for the sake of self-criticism He is a very flat figure who is used in everything. Hao Jianze is a submissive and indecisive staff member. His confusion in the workplace is shared by many people at present. In the process of "conflict" and "cooperation", the two men exaggerate and truly deduce the office politics of "putting in what they like". As a third person, director Du appeared and ended their farce. In his few lines, he tried to convey the voice of the mainstream values: "there is no shortcut for work to make achievements, but to be conscientious and down-to-earth." The different roles of the three realize the combination of mainstream values and comic art. "Dualism" (chief Ma and Hao Jian) is responsible for building conflicts and creating comic atmosphere, and the third person (director Du) is responsible for solving problems and delivering positions and voices. This kind of character structure, which is commonly used in comic sketches, has become an appropriate way for comic art to convey the mainstream ideological discourse. (China TV review) < / I >

Disputes over works

Shen Teng's line "no yellow, no gambling, no table tennis" in his favorite cause controversy. After the program was broadcast, many table tennis players, including Wang Hao, expressed dissatisfaction.
