Chapter 60 The Little Director and His Name (1)
After taking a shower, Bai Xiaofei changed into clean clothes, combed a new hairstyle, and then left the room.
After all, it is the first exclusive interview in life, so of course we should be more cautious.
The address they made an appointment was a small living room in the hotel, two single sofas, and a coffee table separated by a middle, which was very suitable for face-to-face communication.
Bai Xiaofei really has never accepted an exclusive interview.
Whether it is the past life or the present life!
Originally, he was an executive director. At that press conference, he held a group of big stars not to interview, but instead stared at a staff member behind the scenes?
And it's a less famous staff!
However, have you never eaten pork and you haven't seen pigs running?
When he was an executive director, he worked with many celebrity actors, and these people were able to handle journalists easily.
For example, when interviewing an older female star, a press conference asked: "XX, I have been playing such a role for so many years, and there is no progress at all. Are you not in a hurry? I feel girlish all day long!"
Then the shrewd female stars will filter this question into the life plan of the reporter after asking her. They will answer this way: "Actually, I have been looking for some changes. I have been talking to a director recently..."
Or a reporter asked: "You are so old and still play a little girl. Will you be a little overdo?"
"Why didn't I say I had a problem when I was young? I think actors should ultimately consider whether their acting skills can be accepted by the audience..."
These are textbook-like answers!
...
"Thank you for your hard work, come from the capital from all over the world."
When we meet, of course we have to exchange a few greetings.
"It's okay, just treat it as a public travel!"
Fang Cunliang said with a smile.
"Ha ha…"
Bai Xiaofei also laughed dryly.
The first time the big girl was on the shelves, he didn't know how to start...
Fortunately, Fang Cunliang was professional enough, so he took out the recording pen and placed it on the table, looked at Bai Xiaofei with a smile and said, "If you don't want to answer, you can tell me first."
“…No, it’s OK!”
I originally wanted him not to ask about his mother, but after thinking about it, I would rather forget it and take this opportunity to tell him about his family situation so that he would not always be scolded and disrespect his seniors...
"Then, let's start?"
Bai Xiaofei nodded.
At the same time, I added some tea to my cup...
"Although there are many self-directed and self-acting versatile talents in China, it is rare to be a director and an actor at such a young age. Can you tell me what kind of opportunity you can direct a drama like "Brothers of Waste"?"
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 film "The Waste Brothers" for Mao, probably to prove that he was not banned?
"It's not an opportunity. I just wanted to do a sitcom. I happened to chat with Shanzi that day and talked about a story about entrepreneurship in the silk stockings. I originally wanted to call "Shi Si Brothers", but I thought it was too low, so I changed it to "Shi Si Brothers"..."
"Why is the first drama an online drama?"
Bai Xiaofei tilted his head and asked, "Do you think the works like "Brothers" with some dirty jokes are suitable for TV series?"
Before Fang Cunliang could speak, he continued, "And to be honest, the episode "Brothers of Waste" is only twenty minutes long, and it is not suitable to be a TV series!"
Fang Cunliang interrupted him: "...I mean why do you have to direct and act on your own? Is there no other choice?"
Bai Xiaofei smiled self-deprecatingly: "A little actor like me has no reputation, so how can I find a good script to find me..."
After the topic was revealed, Fang Cunliang asked again: "Then how did you receive the movie "Charlotte"?"
"… Brother Chen Hui and Brother Ellen recommended it, and I am also the screenwriter of "Charlotte". Director Yan Fei also thinks I am quite suitable, so I let me act."
He picked up the teacup and Bai Xiaofei took a sip.
I feel that the interview is just that, every question and answer.
No difficulty!
"Then what are your considerations to take on this drama?"
"…The script is good, the team atmosphere is good, and I am also an investor in this drama. I have to spend money to find other actors!"
Fang Cunliang was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that Bai Xiaofei was the screenwriter and investor of "Charlotte"!
I wrote down the key points in the notebook, thought about it and asked: "For you, the stage of "Comedian" must be of great significance. Can you tell us?"
"…Yes, it really has a far-reaching impact. Before "Comedian", I had basically given up my dream of becoming an actor. At that time, I wanted to become a member of the TV station's director team. I really have to thank the show "Comedian"!"
"Can you tell me the impact of being forced to withdraw from the competition on you?"
"Actually, it has no effect. Whether to withdraw from the competition or not, I will continue to be an actor and a director. Of course, I have a little regret... "
"What regret?"
"I couldn't continue to move on and continue to bring laughter to the audience. I feel very sorry for the audience who always liked us!"
Staring at the bottom of his cup seriously, Bai Xiaofei said it sincerely...
"When it comes to this, I want to ask."
Fang Cunliang put down his pen that was remembering something and said, "Many netizens want to ask if you will continue to star in sketches?"
Bai Xiaofei was stunned for a moment. He really hadn't considered this question.
After thinking for a few seconds, Bai Xiaofei replied: "It depends on the situation. Those who have the chance will still perform sketches!"
You can't speak too much...
Avoid being slapped in the face.
What's the last action scene, the last costume scene or I'm going to quit the entertainment industry...
After closing the interview book, Fang Cunliang was ready to give some real things: "Many people say that your generation of directors are the eighth generation, and they came in through the Internet media. What do you think?"
"The Eighth Generation?"
Bai Xiaofei was so happy. He had never heard of the title of the eighth generation.
Usually we divide domestic directors into years, the fifth generation, the sixth generation, and the seventh generation will no longer exist!
Wang Xiaoshuai once said, "There is no such thing as a director who has made serious movies. Because their movies lack artistic taste and cultural burden."
Wang Xiaoshuai also said: "It is impossible for the sixth generation of directors to appear again. There is no so-called seventh generation because they have no common characteristics."
Well, someone is a well-known director, what he says must make sense!
Fang Cunliang explained: "Well, this is a rumor among the people. The so-called eighth generation refers to the director born in the 1980s who started making online movies or online dramas..."
"The emergence of the Internet has indeed lowered the threshold for directors. Anyway, I think film directors are independent individuals, so there is no need to divide them into 'generations'. As for short films, many directors have actually made short films. Short films are the basic learning process of directors. There are too many movies now, and it is difficult to find a market. It is necessary to survive. The emergence of video websites is a good opportunity..."
"Will you make online movies in the future?"
