Chapter 60: The Little Director and the Celebrity (I)

Bai Xiaofei took a shower, changed into a set of clean clothes, combed a new hairstyle, and then left the room.

After all, this is the first interview in my life, so of course you should be cautious.

The address of the two is a small living room in the hotel, with two single sofas and a coffee table in the middle, which is very suitable for face-to-face communication.

Bai Xiaofei really hasn't been interviewed.

Whether it's a past life or a present life!

In the original time and space, he was an executive director, and the reporter would let a group of big-name stars not go to interviews, but stared at a behind-the-scenes staff?

And it's also not a very famous staff!

However, haven't you ever eaten pork and never seen a pig run?

When he was an executive director, he worked with many star actors, and these people were very good at dealing with reporters.

For example, when interviewing older female stars, some reporters will ask: "XX, you have played such a role for so many years, and there is no progress at all, aren't you in a hurry?" Girly all day long! ”

Then the shrewd female star will filter this question to the reporter asking her about her life plan after that, and they will reply like this: "Actually, I have been looking for some changes, I was talking to a director recently..."

Or a reporter asked: "You are old, and you are still playing a little girl, will it be a bit too much?" ”

"Then when I was young, I played an older role, why didn't I say I had a problem? I think actors, in the final analysis, should still consider whether their acting skills can be accepted by the audience..."

These are textbook answers!

……

"It's hard work, I've come all the way from the capital."

When we met, of course, we had to say a few pleasantries.

"It's okay, just treat it as a public trip!"

Fang Cunliang said with a smile.

"Haha..."

Bai Xiaofei also laughed dryly.

Interview this kind of thing, the first time the big girl is on the shelf, he doesn't know how to start...

Fortunately, Fang Cunliang was professional enough, took out a voice recorder and put it on the table, looked at Bai Xiaofei with a smile and said, "If there is anything you don't want to answer, you can tell me first." ”

“… No, it's all right! ”

Originally, I wanted him not to ask about his mother, but after thinking about it, he still forgot it, and took this opportunity to tell him about his family situation, so as not to be scolded for disrespecting his predecessors all the time...

"So, shall we begin?"

Bai Xiaofei nodded.

At the same time, I added some tea to my cup...

"Although there are many self-directed and self-acting all-rounders in China, it is still rare to be both a director and an actor at such a young age as you, can you tell me what kind of opportunity made you direct a play like "Waste Wood Brothers"?"

Fang Cunliang took out his pen and prepared to record Bai Xiaofei's answer later.

“… Opportunity? ”

Bai Xiaofei was a little confused, he really forgot that he wanted to shoot "Waste Wood Brothers" for Mao, probably to prove that he was not banned?

"I can't talk about the opportunity, I just want to make a sitcom, I just chatted with Shanzi that day, and talked about a story about the entrepreneurship of the sling, I originally wanted to call it "The Sling Brothers", but I thought it was too Low, so I changed it to "Waste Wood Brothers"..."

"Why is the first drama an online drama?"

Bai Xiaofei tilted his head and asked: "Then do you think the work of "Waste Wood Brothers" with a bit of meat jokes is suitable for making a TV series?" ”

Without waiting for Fang Cunliang to speak, he continued: "And to be honest, the duration of an episode of "Waste Wood Brothers" is only twenty minutes, and it is not suitable for making a TV series!" ”

Fang Cunliang interrupted him: "... I mean, why do you have to direct and act yourself, and there is no other choice? ”

Bai Xiaofei smiled self-deprecatingly: "A young actor like me is not famous, where will there be a good script looking for me..."

After this topic was revealed, Fang Cunliang asked again: "Then how did you receive the movie "Charlotte"?" ”

“… Brother Shen Hui was also recommended by Brother Allen, and I am also the screenwriter of "Charlotte", and Director Yan Fei also thought I was quite suitable, so he let me play it. ”

Picking up the teacup, Bai Xiaofei took a sip.

I feel that the interview is just like that, one question and one answer.

It's not difficult!

"Then what did you consider for taking on this play?"

“… The script is good, the team atmosphere is good, and I am also an investor in this play, so don't you have to spend money to find other actors! ”

Fang Cunliang paused for a moment, he really didn't expect Bai Xiaofei to be the screenwriter and investor of "Charlotte"!

I wrote down the main points in the notebook, thought about it and asked, "I think the stage of "The Comedian" must be of great significance to you, can you tell us about it?" ”

“… Yes, it does have a far-reaching impact, before "The Comedian", I basically gave up my dream of becoming an actor, and I wanted to become a member of the TV station's directing team, and I really want to thank the show "The Comedian"! ”

"Can you tell us about the impact of being forced to retire from the tournament on you?"

"Actually, it doesn't have any impact, whether I retire or not, I will continue to be an actor and director, of course, there are some regrets..."

"What regrets?"

"I can't keep going and continue to bring laughter to the audience, I feel sorry for the audience who has always liked us!"

Staring at the bottom of his cup seriously, Bai Xiaofei said very sincerely...

"Speaking of which, I'd like to ask."

Fang Cunliang put down the pen that was memorizing things and said, "There are many netizens who want to ask if you will continue to appear in sketches?" ”

Bai Xiaofei paused for a moment, he really hadn't thought about this question.

After thinking for a few seconds, Bai Xiaofei replied: "It depends on the situation, if you have a chance, you will still be able to act in a sketch!" ”

Can't talk too much...

lest you be slapped in the face.

What the last action drama, the last cosplay or I'm going to quit the entertainment industry...

Closing the interview book, Fang Cunliang was ready to be serious: "Many people say that your generation of directors is the eighth generation, and they came in with the medium of the Internet, what do you think?" ”

"The eighth generation?"

Bai Xiaofei he, he really hasn't heard of the title of the eighth generation.

Usually we divide domestic directors into generations, the fifth generation, the sixth generation, and the seventh generation no longer exists!

Wang Xiaoshuai once said, "A director who has not made a serious movie cannot be called a 'generation'." Because their films lack artistic taste and cultural commitment".

Wang Xiaoshuai also said: "After the sixth generation of directors, it is impossible for there to be filmmakers who can be divided into generations, there is no so-called seventh generation, because they have no commonality." ”

Well, he is a well-known director, so what he said must have made sense!

Fang Cunliang explained: "Well, this is a rumor, the so-called eighth generation refers to the post-80s directors, who started by making online movies or online dramas..."

"The advent of the Internet has indeed lowered the threshold for directors, I think film directors are independent individuals anyway, there is no need to divide any 'generation', as for making short films, in fact, many directors have made short films, short films, is the basic learning process of directors. There are so many movies nowadays that it's hard to find a market, and to survive, the emergence of video sites is a great opportunity..."

"Then will you make online movies in the future?"

"I can't say for sure..."
