《兩個男人一臺戲》

Middleditch & Schwartz

共3集

兩個男人一臺戲，兩位主角。

如英文劇名，一位是托馬斯·米德蒂奇，《硅谷》主演，對我們來說是熟面孔了。

另一位是本·施瓦茨，曾出演過美劇《公園與游憩》。

兩位都是業(yè)界有名的喜劇演員。

至于他們出演的角色，則取決于觀眾。

《兩個男人一臺戲》是米德蒂奇和施瓦茨聯(lián)合為Netflix制作的喜劇特輯，全程即興。

他們?yōu)橛^眾獻上三場即興表演。

每一場演出都完全根據一條隨機的觀眾建議進行。

全場表演沒有劇本、沒有臺詞、也沒有經過提前排練，和隨機的觀眾聊幾句，然后用自己的靈感，一邊創(chuàng)作一邊完成一場約50分鐘的即興表演。

即興表演對喜劇演員的綜合表演能力要求極高，它需要你閃電般的快速反應能力、不可訴說的靈感、以及想象力、記憶力、注意力、表現(xiàn)力、邏輯關系處理能力等等等等。

人人都可以即興，但是優(yōu)秀的即興演出需要進行系統(tǒng)地訓練、多年地練習才能取得。

好的即興表演，不僅演員自己玩得開心到飛，還同時需要把現(xiàn)場的幾千號觀眾逗得直不起腰，米德蒂奇和施瓦茨的這場還得錄制到了Netflix，逗樂幾億觀眾。

看起來鴨梨巨大，但是，米德蒂奇和施瓦茨輕輕松松就完全hold住全場。

第一場表演《停車場婚禮》，從某個現(xiàn)場觀眾喊出getting married開始。

某觀眾近期計劃舉辦婚禮，在停車場遇見了舊日好友，于是發(fā)出婚禮邀請，新娘也提起來自己的一個前男友也會來參加婚禮。

短短的一兩分鐘聊天后，米德蒂奇和施瓦茨便開始了他們的表演。

讓人吃驚的是，米德蒂奇和施瓦茨此次向觀眾貢獻了了可謂天才級的表演，簡直是太驚艷了。

他們兩個人表演了一群人，婚禮新郎、新娘、新郎弟弟、新郎父母、新娘父母、停車場舊友、新娘前任、新娘前任現(xiàn)女友、新娘閨蜜、教父、玩音樂的幾個人、還有鬼……

僅僅兩個人，但整個舞臺都是熱鬧的、栩栩如生的婚禮現(xiàn)場眾生繪。

而且，他們并不固定自己的角色分配，而是互串角色 ，但是，觀眾又能準確辨別，因為他們?yōu)槊總€角色賦予了明顯不同的口音、語氣、行為、性格等。

因為是雙人表演的緣故，兩個之間需要極大的默契，能準備接到對方拋出來的梗，并緊接著抖出包袱，能挖坑，還得能飛快地填坑。

而米德蒂奇和施瓦茨做到的還不止如此，他們還熱衷于給對方出難題，處心積慮的為難對方。

每次觀眾以為他們即將要搞砸這場演出時，才發(fā)現(xiàn)這不過是大招前的鋪墊。

一場表演結束，你會發(fā)現(xiàn)，兩人竟然為觀眾創(chuàng)造了一個既瘋狂又合理，既出人意料又令人啼笑皆非的完整故事。

有開篇、起乘、轉折、高潮、收場，整個過程邏輯在線，引人入勝，中間還夾雜著不少的神來之筆，堪稱完美。

甚至連兩人表演過程中的笑場，都能成為表演的一部分，成為笑點和看點。

第二場《魔法法學院》，一間教室里各個同學包括奇葩老師，躍然熒屏。“小羚羊”的戲份讓人啼笑皆非。

第三場《理想的工作》，那段機場茅廁談心戲，堪稱經典，還有兩人對決的石頭剪刀布，簡直是心靈相通的最高默契。

《兩個男人一臺戲》，在豆瓣上也拿到了9.0的高分。

這種寶藏一般存在的脫口秀，不收了實在可惜。

After watching an episode ‘Parking Lot Wedding’ of Middleditch and Schwartz, I was deeply intrigued to the actors’ quick reactions and humors on stage. The structure of the show could be viewed as ‘unconventional’ because at first Thomas Middleditch and Ben Schwartz left their audiences to decide freely what was going to be displayed on the show. Four audiences then presented several keywords from their own life stories, the approaching wedding, relationship in the sixth grade, short ex-boyfriend, live music, Walmart parking lot……and so on. Two actors on stage then absorbed every keyword from the audiences’ discussions and created their own improvised show successfully with good scenes! They moved on very fast that they changed many characters in one single show by moving chairs and changing their voices, physical gestures and facial expressions. They performed both men and women authentically without confusing their audiences with their professional acting techniques. In the beginning of the show, we may perceive Dan (Dave) and his best man Corey were embarrassingly discussing Dan’s fiancée Kathleen’s relationship with short Paul before ages in the sixth grade, and Dan asked Corey to stop Paul from saying something mean in his coming Wedding ceremony. And then, they became Sebastian and Dave quickly. We could deduct so easily from two actors’ performances that Dan was afraid of his brother Sebastian’s overtly outgoing characters. They soon turned into Paul and Marnie (also called Amber, maid of honor in the wedding), and they were discussing about Kathleen, which implied that Paul still held romantic feelings towards Kathleen and gave the audiences more details about Paul and Kathleen’s relationship as sixth graders. We also saw some ‘unimportant’ scene of Dan and the man who claimed to be a ghost, who was then found to be the wild minister of the wedding surprisingly. When the wedding finally started, two actors performed as the bride’s parents and the groom’s parents. We saw very different personalities of these characters that Harold, Sebastian and Dan’s father, was very tightened and couldn’t make normal calm sounds while the mothers were excited but remained elegant and normal. At last, we came to our most expected scene: short Paul was going to say something mean on the wedding when the minister asked if there was a guest who wanted to say anything before the loyalty vow! What’s more, the minister, also called the ghost who had very loud, thick and trembling voices, was turned out to be the robber who robbed Kathleen’s pearl necklace after she and short Paul had left the opera house when they were six-graders. However, Kathleen still didn’t break her relationship with her current significant other and refused short Paul’s proposal right before the groom, Dan. They didn’t forget Corey. In the last several scenes, Corey lost his chance to present his best man speech on the wedding to Sebastian because he failed to stop Paul from ruining the wedding.

It was very obvious that Thomas Middleditch and Ben Schwartz were perfectly good actors that they did follow our five guidelines at most of the time. They used ‘Yes and’ in the very first scene when Dan and Corey were talking about Kathleen: they rebuilt the scene on each other’s given information by rephrasing each other’s words like ‘Yes she’s good’, ‘Yes she’s fun’, ‘Yes she’s beautiful’ and ‘Yes she’s gorgeous.’ They were also being extremely present because the audiences really couldn’t find out who would win Kathleen’s heart on the wedding unless they watched the last several scenes, which meant that the actors should have decided the ending very presently. It was easily seen that the musician guests were listening actively to what happened on the wedding that they made sounds on their instruments and sang ‘decide’ to the bride to inspire her final love decision. Thomas Middleditch and Ben Schwartz have been trying to make others look good in the entire show that they never rejected each other’s words, they only rebuilt on each other’s constructed contexts. All in all, their acting methods guaranteed that the show went on very smoothly with no communicative barriers.

I still remembered several ‘most memorable’ parts of the improvised show. Firstly, the show left a pretty good suspense to its audiences especially when short Paul was presenting his monologue of revenge to us audiences that he was planning to get Kathleen back on the wedding. What would happen next exactly? Audiences did not know so they had to watch the show continually in order not to miss the most expected part. Secondly, the actors really created short Paul’s current girlfriend Lisa in the show after listening to their audiences’ personal stories before the show. Just as the girl audience said she didn’t even want to attend the wedding, Lisa in the show finally got mad at what was going on there and screamed out ‘you psychopath’ to short Paul dramatically.

The most revered ability I’d like to learn from this show was the actors’ good memory. In long-form improvisations we must use this ability very well because we are not allowed to self-contradict with our former scenes. Most importantly, we also must keep up with all the characters we created, especially their established personalities, gestures, voices and their complicated relationships in order not to make our show a mess. Once your partner initiates a new scene with recognizable expressions, you have to know who he is currently, and who you are going to be to react to him perfectly to make the scene go on logically.

I wish they’d improve a little on their explicit sexual allusions. Six graders are still too young to have sex ‘nastily’ as the actors describe in the show. Underage kids should be educated in an appropriate way by adults when it comes to sex topics in the public. Anyway, I still like the show.

大概在第29分鐘。

Thomas開車的時候很突然地濕了眼眶: "Actually..."

Ben側過身關切地看著他"What’s wrong? Hey hey hey ey ey ey（看路）...What’s wrong man?"

-"Everybody takes photos of the good times, the hahas, the...（這里有兩個詞聽不清）Nobody takes photos of...Me." "This character makes me nervous."

-"Why?"

-"Because... It’s just I’m worrying about being too real."

-"Okay. For you personally? Or for whom the bell tolls?"

-"For whom the bell tolls(?" "In order to make me feel better about it, can we give him something that really makes him totally different?"

-"Sure. Err... He’s got webbed feet."

-"Okay. And also, I own a cat farm."

就，一瞬間你能感到，舞臺上的虛擬和舞臺下的現(xiàn)實奇妙地相融，你永遠不能知道Thomas眼角的淚是神來之筆般的角色設定，還是他因故事影響聯(lián)想自身有感而發(fā)，鐘聲是為他敲響，抑或是他認識的什么人？然后Ben很流暢地幫Thomas一帶而過，從容不迫地接上了原來的橋段，而正當他們進行著這段對話的時候，現(xiàn)場的觀眾還是持續(xù)哈哈大笑著的。

我覺得就是一個現(xiàn)場隨性表演腦洞大開的Stand by ... 哈哈哈，每集的高光時刻是兩個人記錯自己創(chuàng)造的人物名稱，哈哈哈哈，二人隨機應變的默契真的令人敬佩：同時也是笑點和看點。創(chuàng)意靈感根據現(xiàn)場觀眾拋出來的話題展開創(chuàng)作，兩人都太會抖包袱了，哈哈哈哈。 我覺得就是一個現(xiàn)場隨性表演腦洞大開的Stand by ... 哈哈哈，每集的高光時刻是兩個人記錯自己創(chuàng)造的人物名稱，哈哈哈哈，二人隨機應變的默契真的令人敬佩：同時也是笑點和看點。創(chuàng)意靈感根據現(xiàn)場觀眾拋出來的話題展開創(chuàng)作，兩人都太會抖包袱了，哈哈哈哈。
