Chapter 38: Interview
Remember [800β Little Γ· Say β Network in one second.], wonderful free reading without pop-ups!
Anyone can submit a film to the Festival de Cannes, as long as it is long enough.
After the film was delivered, we waited for the shortlist to be announced ten days later.
For Xiaobai, the happiest thing is to be able to sleep well...
The most speechless thing is that Mr. Bi actually quoted the lines in "Tang Bohu Dots Autumn Fragrance" as his label: "Others laugh at me for being too crazy, and I laugh at others who can't see through it!" β
Silence to the ...
I don't know where he got his confidence, but he actually thinks that "Dream Showbiz" can be shortlisted for Cannes?
Well, if I score 100 points in the exam, I can also apply for Tsinghua University!
However, Director Bi seems to have a relationship with Douban, and he must make Douban apologize!
Then Douban sued directly...
β¦β¦
Fang Cunliang of "Sanlian" made an appointment for an exclusive interview.
Visit once a year!
It feels different every time.
For the first time, Bai Xiaofei was just a comedy star who was well-known on the Internet;
For the second time, "Wulin Gaiden", "Knocking on the Door of Heaven", and "Riding the Wind and Waves" were released, Xiaobai has been a banner of the recent rise of the mainland film market;
For the third time, Bai Xiaofei directly rose to the level of a talker!
What is a person who speaks?
has its own IP, and it is not afraid of the domineering of all parties!
Although the flag has not yet been erected, the forces that depend on him have been formed, and in the entire capital, there are only a few who are qualified to be called a handsome man!
Xiaobai is certainly one of them...
Fang Cunliang sometimes admires himself, how can he be discerning, and at a glance he thinks that Bai Xiaofei, who was still playing soy sauce in "Charlotte's Troubles", is definitely not a thing in the pool?
This is important!
Since the second half of last year, Xiaobai has not been interviewed very seriously, and most of the time, it is to promote the movie.
Many media want to get exclusives, but unfortunately, Xiaobai didn't agree to any of them, including "Southern Weekly", "People"...
If it weren't for the previous friendship, Xiaobai would not have spent half a day with a reporter talking nonsense.
β¦β¦
At the exit of the capital airport, Fang Cunliang just got off the plane and felt that something was wrong.
There are a bunch of fans on the periphery!
"Has this little fresh meat itinerary been revealed?"
Fang Cunliang was a little curious, looked at the time, there were still two hours before the agreed three o'clock in the afternoon!
He was very interested, but he also knew the traffic conditions in the capital, so he got into a taxi without delay.
"Now this fan is so powerful that it directly surrounds the airport!"
"This is still a small movement, the last time Li Kaixin participated in the event, I heard that she was directly blocked at the airport, and the armed police were dispatched to rescue her!"
ββ¦ Li Kaixin? β
"You don't know?"
"I haven't heard much about it, I've been abroad during this time."
Fang Cunliang touched his nose, obviously lying, he wanted to know what ordinary people thought of this girl's popularity...
Thinking too much, what can taxi drivers in Beijing think?
They are a group of people who dare to make fun of even the big guy's sexual affairs!
The driver was energetic, and decisively opened the insider commentary: "That girl is not an ordinary person, I heard that she has an unusual relationship with Bai Xiaofei, she should be a little wife!" β
ββ¦ Concubine? β
"The eldest wife was praised by him, and now he has time to praise the younger wife, which is normal!"
"I haven't heard that Bai Xiaofei has any entanglements with other women..."
"How can there be a clean entertainment industry!"
"I can't say that, it's said that there are still a lot of clean people!"
"What do you do?"
"Oh, I'm a reporter for Triptych!"
ββ¦β
The driver decisively shut up.
I've met someone in the industry...
"Hey, master, is the Li Kaixin you are talking about, is it the female number one of the hit "My Uncle" some time ago?"
ββ¦ Yes, it's her, she's only nineteen years old this year..."
may feel that what he said before was a bit excessive, and the driver wanted to make up for it: "Bai Xiaofei's reputation is still good, anyway, I haven't seen him sleep with anyone..."
"I'm going to interview him later, and I'll definitely bring that sentence to me!"
β¦β¦
"Yo, come on, you sit down first, I'll wash my face!"
The agreed place was Bai Xiaofei's house, and when Fang Cunliang arrived, Xiaobai got up.
"I've been busy doing late in the past few days, and my schedule is a little disordered, Auntie, give me a cup of coffee!"
Fang Cunliang was looking at the layout of the villa.
Very pure Chinese classical design, a set of Ming and Qing style mahogany furniture in the hall, a picture of the rising sun on the wall...
ββ¦ Is this the real work of Mr. Li Keran? β
"It should be, my uncle gave it to me, to celebrate my housewarming!"
"Tsk..."
Fang Cunliang was a little emotional...
In just three years, Xiaobai has already laid such a big family business!
ββ¦ I didn't study calligraphy and painting, hanging on the wall is also to decorate the elegance, let's go to the study, smoking in the living room is not good! β
"Okay!"
ββ¦ Or the Yellow Crane Tower? β
"I'm used to smoking, I'm too lazy to change, I found that in the past few years, my only change should be that my addiction to smoking has become bigger, I may not be able to smoke a pack of cigarettes a week before, but now it's good, almost a pack a day!"
Fang Cunliang turned on the recorder as usual, and asked with a smile: "If there is anything you don't want to answer, you can tell me directly." β
"No, it's all right!"
Xiaobai replied very casually.
"Okay, let's talk about how I felt about winning 8.7 billion box office results last year!"
"Well, I didn't feel anything, I was a little surprised."
"Are you sure it's surprise, not surprise?"
Xiaobai thought about it for a while, and then organized the language: "Of course, it was a surprise at first, but when the data exceeded a certain level, you slowly became numb, so that they summarized the data and told me, I am about to break 10 billion, and I don't have much idea, I just feel very grateful to the audience!" β
ββ¦β
This forced pretending to be very slippery, I give 100 points!
Fang Cunliang silently revealed this topic, and asked again: "It is said that last year was the year of your outbreak, how did you do it?" Three releases in a year? β
"Riding the Wind and Waves" was not made last year, to be precise, last year, I only made two films, and I caught up..."
"What about this year?"
ββ¦ I was supposed to prepare two movies this year, but in December last year, I thought of a project on the fly, so I added one, and I should make three movies this year! β
Fang Cunliang jotted down the key points in the notebook, and then asked: "What does the movie mean to you?" β
ββ¦ What does that mean? β
After a few seconds of silence, Xiaobai replied: "For me, making movies is not only work, but also life. I don't have any other hobbies, I'm very lazy when I'm not making movies, making movies is my life, my way of life. Although it is very hard to make a film, when the dream thing is displayed in front of your eyes, you will not only be happy and surprised, but also grateful, thank all the people who have worked with you, even if it is a small return, you will feel great joy and feel that life is very meaningful. β
"Also, my desire to create is very strong now, and if I didn't make a movie, I don't know what I would do..."
"There are quite a few people who think your film doesn't have enough depth, what do you think of that sound?"
ββ¦ The mainstream movies that audiences around the world see are actually relatively naΓ―ve, and the philosophical part is almost there. What depth do you say about Marvel's movies? People are commercial films, popcorn movies! If it's a book, you can imagine it for a week or two, but the movie is only about two hours, and you have to keep the audience distracted and keep them engrossed! β
"I never thought of making the most expensive art film and leaving it in history. Because, if it can't satisfy the audience, without the recognition of the audience, the movie has no value! β
Fang Cunliang has a different opinion: "But avant-garde art also has a need to exist!" β
"Of course, it's just not necessary with me!" Xiaobai waved his hand very arbitrarily, and continued: "For example, "Jiupin Sesame Official", if I want, I can make it into the Qing Dynasty's "Qiu Ju Fights a Lawsuit" or "I Am Not Pan Jinlian", but I still treated it as a comedy, because the audience likes this, and I like it myself!" β
Noting down the point just now, Fang Cunliang asked again: "Can that be understood like this, you look down on literary film directors?" β
