Chapter 139: March
In a sense, Bai Xiaofei's current super popularity and fans' expectations for him come from the foil of his peers!
After the Spring Festival, domestic films continued to be sluggish.
It was originally an excellent Valentine's Day file, but it failed to attract the audience's ideas, "Contract Men and Women", "Crazy Yue Pry Beauty", all bad movies with a Douban score of less than 5 points!
After entering March, there are more bad movies!
What, "Love Bet", "Two Treasures Breaking into the Rivers and Lakes"...
For two whole months, not a single domestic film with a passing score or higher was listed.
The audience is really desperate for domestic movies!
In this case, of course, the audience is looking forward to Bai Xiaofei more.
Where there is the attention of the audience, there is a market, and where there is a market, there is a media focus.
Therefore, after the release of "Riding the Wind and Waves", there are countless media who have asked him to interview him, and those who can push it will be pushed Pingping, and those who can't be pushed off will be interviewed.
finally returned to Xihong City, wanting to rest for a few days, Fang Cunliang came up again...
It's better to hide in the crew!
"In the Name of the People" will start broadcasting soon, with the power of this drama, coupled with the follow-up influence of "Wulin Gaiden", when the time comes, there will definitely be a bunch of media rushing to interview, it is better to leave early!
So, the day after "Sanlian" forwarded that, Xiaobai flew to Shanghai...
……
Fang Cunliang was very entangled.
He didn't know how to put pen to paper.
talked a lot, all aspects, if it was an ordinary reporter, simply use the form of questions and answers, and record everything thoroughly.
However, Fang Cunliang is the ace reporter of "Sanlian", and he disdains to copy and paste directly.
At the beginning, he single-handedly planned the topic of "New Power of Comedy", and crowned Bai Xiaofei with the image of "the kind of teenager who has not yet been smoothed out", which is very appropriate.
Seeing Bai Xiaofei this time, he still dared to say something that others didn't dare to say, such as IP.
The value bubble of IP has always been a controversial topic, and the criteria for measuring the value of IP are composed of elements such as content, adaptation, production, and market demand.
But some super IPs, there will still be a bunch of speculators paying.
Few people dare to be as sharp as Bai Xiaofei and directly say that 'IP will become a joke in the development of Chinese films'
However, Fang Cunliang also clearly felt that Bai Xiaofei was a little sleek.
For example, if he was asked to evaluate the actors he had worked with, although he said that 'a play cannot represent an actor', he finally praised all the actors.
In fact, what Fang Cunliang wanted to ask was 'what do you think of Deng Chao in "Villain Angel" and Deng Chao in "Riding the Wind and Waves"...'
This is also a natural phenomenon, after all, Bai Xiaofei's current identity is different from before, and the biggest trait of maturity is that it is a little worldly.
That is, the legendary saying that sees people and talks about people, and talks about ghosts.
That's why we like the little boy in "The King's New Clothes", but we don't necessarily want to be that little boy!
However, he is still very optimistic about Bai Xiaofei, at least when it comes to movies, he can feel that Bai Xiaofei has always been the man who is full of love for movies and has a clear plan for his career.
He has interviewed many young directors, most of whom also love film, but they don't have a clear understanding of themselves or their future.
turned on the recorder and listened to the exchange between the two again, and suddenly his thoughts became clear.
"Domestic movies are sometimes very eye-catching, and some of the reasons for the attention are because of the visual shock of martial arts, some because of the touching and inspirational plot, and some because they make people feel happy, that is, comedy movies. Comedy movies have occupied a large market from the beginning, and the original comedy should be some Hong Kong-style comedies that belong to the Hong Kong film period, and later, modern comedy styles have emerged, so various comedy movies have appeared. For movies, comedy has captured a large part of the market. After all, everyone likes to have fun. There are many comedians and directors in the mainland, such as Feng Xiaogang, Xu Zheng, Ning Hao, and of course, Mahua and Bai Xiaofei. ”
"It's been two years since I last met Bai Xiaofei, and in the past two years, Bai Xiaofei has initially become one of the directors with box office appeal."
""Knocking on the Door of Heaven" can be described as an earth-shattering shock, it is also a road comedy, Bai Xiaofei's point of entry is different from all directors, he set the madness of two dying people, the script is solid, the jokes are novel and substantial, and when it comes to "Riding the Wind and Waves", it can be clearly seen that his requirements for the script are stricter, and there has been great progress in photography and editing, what remains unchanged is the high reputation of the movie!"
Taking a puff of cigarette, he went on to write, "We have expectations for young directors and expect him to improve, and from this point of view, Bai Xiaofei meets our expectations!" ”
“… What gratified me the most was that he said, 'I have no plans to make literary films for the time being, let's do the market first, and when the market is hot, more good filmmakers will naturally pour out'..."
Writing this, Fang Cunliang turned around and began to write the title - director Bai Xiaofei!
……
On March 14th, the month of Guimao, Gengzi Day, it is advisable to accept wealth and trade, and avoid burial.
All in all, a very ordinary day.
For Bai Xiaofei, it is also very ordinary, by the way, he is sitting on the bus from Jinling to Hengguo at this time, wearing a peaked cap with a low brim, his eyes closed, but he didn't come up to say hello uninterestingly...
Outside, the south of the Yangtze River is slightly cold, but the grass and trees are flourishing, and the car is driving on an asphalt road that is neither wide nor narrow.
After waiting for more than a year, "God of Medicine" is finally going to start!
By the way, the filming locations of "God of Medicine" are Jinling and India.
originally wanted to be in the magic capital, but it was difficult to find something with that sense of age in the magic capital, and the residents over there were a little stingy and were reluctant to rent the house to the crew at a low price...
The negotiation is invalid...
Jinling is different, the West Lane in Qinhuai District and the Olympic Sports Center in Hexi are suitable for showing the magic capital ten years ago!
Of course, more importantly, the Jinling Film Bureau is willing to provide a large amount of filming funds and local consumption reductions, so of course you must choose Jinling.
The creators have not yet arrived, especially Xu Zheng is still busy supervising the production of "Behind-the-Scenes Deal", it is estimated that it will take five days to arrive in Jinling, Xiaobai put his things in the hotel, and took a bus to Hengguo in the afternoon.
There was no way, the young lady begged him to come over and accompany her for a few days.
As in duty bound!
After three or four hours of driving, I finally arrived in Hengdian.
In other words, Xiaobai has really never been to Hengdian, which is known as the Hollywood of the East, and this is the first time!
It's already six o'clock in the evening, and there are a lot of tourists...
Different from the general film and television city, the building of Hengdian is free for residential use, provided that it is necessary to live and consume here!
Therefore, it is still Zhejiang * Jiang people who will do business.
