카이신마화(开心麻花) 코미디 영화의 연극적 서사 연구 = A Study on the Theatrical Narrative of Mahua FunAge Comedy Films

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This study analyzes how China’s leading comedy production company, Mahua FunAge(开心麻花), has transplanted theatrical mechanisms based on stage play aesthetics into cinematic creation. Focusing on Goodbye Mr. Loser, it identifies how scene-based development within a three-act structure, dramatic irony, and repetitive reversals function as narrative strategies that enhance comedic rhythm and audience engagement. Furthermore, it demonstrates that the stage-like configuration of enclosed spaces such as classrooms, wedding halls, and hotel rooms facilitates emotional compression and conflict intensity, while the use of Northeastern dialects and colloquial dialogue reproduces the linguistic rhythm of stage comedy in cinematic form. The integration of stage-based narrative, space, and language transcends conventional commercial comedy formulas, creating a new comic aesthetic that captures the irony of life and human emotion. Ultimately, this study affirms that the aesthetics of stage drama can effectively operate within modern film narratives, providing a theoretical foundation for the creative direction and industrial development of contemporary Chinese comedy cinema.
