Objectively speaking, Lausanne can't be on an equal footing with Zhao Benshan and Peisi Chen in terms of artistic level and artistic life. If you must hire a crosstalk performer, you might as well put it in Degang Guo, at least you can say something.
Except Lausanne, there has been great controversy about the level of Zhao Benshan and Peisi Chen. In the heyday of Zhao Benshan, it is said that both of them were extremely high-level. However, after 20 13, Zhao Benshan gradually faded out of the stage, and Peisi Chen's image on the Internet began to get higher and higher, becoming the highest-level comedy master in China. Especially during this period, Peisi Chen reconciled with CCTV and took part in the comedy master class as an important tutor. Judging from the name of the program, Peisi Chen is undoubtedly the comedian himself.
Peisi Chen's words and deeds are more convincing than his works, but I have a different view.
I think people's affirmation and even worship of Peisi Chen in recent years is largely due to his words and deeds, not the comedy itself. In recent years, Peisi Chen's award-winning statement has been widely circulated on the Internet.
When asked why he didn't win the prize, Peisi Chen said, I am a clean person. This sentence has injected the power of justice into many netizens, as if Peisi Chen could be crowned as a comedy master just by this sentence.
However, this is not enough. I don't doubt Peisi Chen's character, and I have deep feelings for many of his sketches many years ago. However, to judge whether a person is a comedian or not, we should not only look at his goodwill, but also look at his works.
Peisi Chen's performance once brought so much joy to the people of China. On the one hand, there are few humorous things and many funny things in his works, which can't be said to be funny, but they are still slightly inferior to humor. On the other hand, most of Peisi Chen's works in recent years are stage comedies, which are staged stage by stage, but their influence is not as good as his classic sketches. I believe that those who evaluate Peisi Chen as a master of comedy have not actually read his stage works carefully.
Zhao Benshan's works are not inferior to Zhao Benshan's.
For a long time, Zhao Benshan's big hat is that his works are tacky, which shows the inferiority or cunning of farmers. Of course, Zhao Benshan is not good at interpreting urban themes, but just because he plays farmers, we can't say that his works are not worth mentioning. On the contrary, the folk wisdom and humor shown in many of his classic works are self-contained. It can't be said that his works show the peasants at the bottom, and his comedies also follow the "inferiority complex".
Many of Zhao Benshan's classic sketches are excellent in content and performance. Zhao Benshan can't talk big like Peisi Chen in an interview, but that doesn't mean he doesn't have his own comedy performance experience.
Zhao Benshan can be a better comedian. There has always been controversy about Zhao Benshan. Since he basically bid farewell to the Spring Festival Evening and the stage a few years ago, such a voice has become more and more "justified". Especially compared with the upright and silent Peisi Chen, many people turned to support the latter.
For me, I like Peisi Chen and Zhao Benshan very much, and I can almost recite the lines of many of their classic sketches. However, if we make a comparison and choose a comedian, I personally think that Zhao Benshan is still above Peisi Chen. This has nothing to do with whether Zhao Benshan himself is popular at present.
