JAKARTA - Playing in a comedy horror film turns out to be an unexpected challenge for the actors. Angga Yunanda and Wavi Zihan, the two main stars of "Before Grandma is Picked Up", compactly admit that laughing in front of the camera is much more difficult than acting scared.
Wavi Zihan, who has often played in horror films, actually felt very depressed when he had to play his first comedy scene.
"That's the challenge. Comedy. So I'm just this time I got a project that I want to take, I'm nervous," he admitted at VOI's office, not long ago.
He felt the burden of being funny was very heavy, even though the main comedy portion was not in his character.
"It turns out that comedy is much heavier," he said.
Angga Yunanda also agreed. According to him, comedy requires a deep understanding of tempo, time (timing), and the right expression.
"We have to understand the tempo very well, and the timing, the choice of words and the choice of expression greatly affect the comedy seeds that will come out," explained Angga.
Acting with senior comedians such as Dodit Mulyanto and Oki Rengga became a new "school" for them. The two of them learned a lot and observed how the comedy masters worked.
"I just found out that the fun fact is that they have a pretty heavy theory," said Wavi.
He realized that behind every joke, there is a mature calculation. They also often discuss with comedy consultants and comedians on location to ensure their scenes can make people laugh.
"I often ask Bang Oki. 'Bang, is this funny?' 'No, it's not'," said Wavi.
The film Before Grandma Picks You Up will begin airing on January 22.
