Since the day it exists, film art is often associated with the nature of commerce and entertainment, and among of which comedy film is one of the most active and most appealing one to viewers. The standing in the film history and practical significance for the film industry development of comedy films cannot be ignored. However, comedy film in China has gone through a long and winding exploring course, the ideology of that writings are for conveying truth and the political function of that bildung is the focus make comedy film seriously bound, even after the society has come into the transformation period, the film has gradually increased entertainment awareness of film makers, as well as the comedy film has already displayed a renewed prosperity, there are still some handicaps which retard development. However, the current pan-comedic culture society as a community-wide context calls for the benign development of comedy film, the audiences are looking forward to highly-acclaimed and healthy comedy films, the current China's film industry requires to be activated and promoted by comedy film, the efforts which film makers make in the comedy film and the following influence in the mass viewers should be respected and taken seriously.In this thesis, comedic laugh is taken as a logical starting point, departing from special rules of comedy construction and general rules of film art in the application of comedy films, and to fully explore the generation mechanism and specific pattern of comedy effects. By the research of internal and external comedy and comedy film theory, in combination with the practical situation of China's comedy film since 1990, with reference to the views from comedy psychology, audience acception and film narratology, and then penetrate deeply into the inner text of comedy film proceeding from exploring the rules of comedy film construction, to comprehensively analyze the strategies by which the comedy narration, characters, situation, and language can create a comedy effort. And the cultural background of comedy film is explosively inquired from the perspective of acception, as well as the humanistic connotation and cultural phenomenon which appear in the recent comedy films are deeply analyzed from the view of culturology. Summarize the construction model of comedy, while analyze the strengths and weaknesses of the development of our comedy films, in order to promote prosperity and development of China's comedy films. This essay are divided into six parts, the introduction part is a comparison study and carding of generation mechanism, summarizes the laugh theory in the history of philosophy and aesthetics from the superiority theory, dissonance theory and liberation theory, in which way it can be found that the source of laugh is associated with some of our similar defects, complaint habits or overconfident stubborn addiction and the resulting frustration of the encounter. And the related definitions of comedy, comedic nature and comedy film are made, and the development processes from the origin of outside and inside films are reflected on.Chapter II summarizes the prosperous status since the 1990s from the perspective of type and style, and points out that with the social transformation and the cultural diversity, the film's entertainment value is gradually highlighting, and the comedy films in the differentiation and interaction continuously meet the entertainment demands of viewers; Sort out the different films from the real and the surreal styles, and point out that only perfectly combine with the reality and surrealism it can create a successful comedy. Finally, analyze the artistic contributions and shortcomings after summarizing the type and style, for example black humor comedy film.Chapter III is the comedy narrative study, it points out transformation of narrative view points, the distribution of narrate informed right, perversion of narrative time and space, the use of verfremdung means is a valid techniques in the comic narrative; in narrative structure different structures style would bring each a comic; some of the eternal comedy motif corresponds to different narrative comedy with a different happy ending is the same strategy. Native comedy films in narrative respect is not mature enough, but in recent years with the use of narrative parody, parody comedy movie has become a new model, however, through rallied together to follow the example have cause a certain amount of energy, not a real strong comic creation, but heavier the recent comedy film impetuous wave of vulgar farce.Chapter Four is a study on comedy character ,From the character's identity, character, survival circumstances etc. to analyze how to create a comedy result when use the character , from the status, they tend to be a nobody with low status and more menial, or some"somebody"break away from normality ; From the character , they may have some kinds of addiction diseases which is unable to get rid of, or have a large mind which is far away from their status and unable to conform with the social environment; From the living condition, Suffering a setback and falling into difficult circumstances constantly is a common encounter for them. From the Ending, they are often realizing their dreams in a coincidence or solve crisis by chance with a strange combination of circumstances. Finally, from the image of women in comedy movie we have made an analyze to the gains and losses of the characterization in native comedy movies, and indicated that the key factor restrict the development and improvement of native comedy movies is the lacking mould for comedy characters.Chapter V is on the study of comedy situation, in comedy movie, by the people, time space-time or accident as the driving force, The important bases of comedy is a hypothetical situation produced by mistake, coincidence, dislocation and other strategies. Among it, the hypothetical situation in comedy is often the most effective comedy premise. The native comedy movie is mostly to create a comedy effective from the creation of comedy situation, so that the native comedy is more like an opusculum. On the positive sense, pieces of comedy can often bring immediate effects of the comedy, but on the other hand, just rely on the construction of situation comedy, comedy movie will became a farce and it would be difficult to bring enlightened to people and give them moving and unforgettable at the same time.Chapter VI is a study on the language of comedy, the dual demands of popularization and defamiliarization on comedy's language makes the creation of comedy's language should be adopt the Chinese folk art form skill and rhetoric strategy in traditionally, as well as the parodie, collage to put the comedy's language into the condition of carnival.The native comedy movie has a wealth experience in language usage, whether in Feng Xiaogang's Beijing style humor or the ridicule of Feng Gong in Jin taste, whether it is an utterance carnival in recent years, or dialect is in the ascendant, they are all guide the way to the new agitation of comedy language in some extent. However if we just stop the creation of humor in the surface of language ,then it is hard to improve the level of comedy, If we just regard create some amazing catchword as our final target, then the total meaning of the comedy would be give a big discount.The conclusion part summarizes and scopes the present and future significance of the comedy film, and points out that the viewers more require good comedy films. While the outstanding comedy films need creative imagination and intelligence, it is also pointed that though laugh can be as the purpose of comedy film, the real comedy of the future should be implemented in the concern of human and society; only in the human passion and compassion as well as cherishing good faith of creation, it can create high-quality comedy films with comedic effects and spiritual connotation.
