In addition to this, there were also the well-known "bululú", which is characterized by being composed of a single standing actor and with a fairly scarce repertoire, also another genre was the "ñaque", made up of two individuals who performed various hors d'oeuvres, of Likewise, there was the gangarilla gender, made up of four men, one of whom played the female character. Meanwhile, with regard to entertainment, it was made up of three women and approximately 7 men, they had a repertoire that ranged from 8 to 10 comedies.

Despite its origins, the word show business today is applied to everything related to the acting world and the rest of the professions that make up both the world of theater and the other performing arts, such as cinema, television, etc. However, it is important to clarify that not any person from this medium can be considered a member of the show business, since for this it is necessary that said individual has a career and work widely recognized by both specialized critics and the public, since These two elements are responsible for his fame and are considered the fundamental pieces in what is called show business. There is no doubt that professional work is what matters the most and in a certain way what offers the members of the celebrity such fame, but after they acquire that category, what will really attract the attention of the media is their private life, since the more scandalous it is, for the media it will be much better.

Cinematographic subgenre of show business
From entertainment, a subgenre has emerged in the world of cinema, which is characterized by representing the daily life of comedians who belong to it, which has become popular in countries like Spain thanks to works such as The Last cuplé, which premiered in 1957 and was written by Juan de Orduña, who was starred by actress Sara Montiel, also another important work was Comedians, created by Juan Antonio Bardem and released in 1954, it became an important reference point for film culture in the Franco years and its subsequent transition.
It is very important to indicate that, during the first decades in the cinema, the genre of the films was not taken into account, characterized by its limitations and by trying to make the viewer quickly understand what the film is about. However, after the Second World War the genres began to function, giving rise to different productions.
The genres of cinema can be classified according to the common elements of the productions they cover, originally according to their formal aspects, such as style, rhythm or tone and especially the feeling they sought to generate in the public. Alternatively, film genres can be defined according to the format or setting they present, it is even possible that they merge to give rise to the so-called hybrid genres.
