Recently, a director's competitive variety show "Director Please Advise" was a hit, and the directors in the program became the TV station.
Bi Zhifei also happened to be on the list, contributing a lot of heat to the program group and causing a lot of controversy.
Speaking of Bi Zhifei, it is a relatively unique existence among directors.
The directors "can't see", the audience "doesn't want to see", and the actors worry about whether they are "seen".
Of course, there are also many netizens who are not used to Bi Zhifei, but if you want to talk about "Dream Showbiz", it must be a thorn in the eye.
It was in 2015, the one that shocked the internet as soon as it was released.
"Pure Heart Dream Showbiz"
Shortly after the release, it received more than 99% bad reviews, directly creating a record of Douban.
The audience will not hesitate to say anything in order to show this movie:
"It's hard to cry when you look at it."
"I haven't really seen it."
"The net is too big to watch."
Douban score so far 2.2, is really incredible.

Bi Zhifei, who discussed in this way, in the stage of the director's choice of film, he directly locked in "Spring in a Small Town".

As the highlight work of The director of Fame, in 2005, it was selected as the first place in the 100 years of the Top 100 Films in the Academy Awards, and the classic of "Spring in a Small Town" is a consensus.
So people breathe cold air:
Will the director who shoots the lowest-scoring film be the first to remake the top 100 movies?
Although it is difficult not to suspect the motive at first, after all, this is not a game to play, and the classic cannot be taken as a shabu.
In a word: Shoot well to salute you. If you can't shoot it, it's "Dream Showbiz" 2.0.
Everybody has to measure this.

Bi Zhifei's attitude also makes it difficult for the actors to correct their attitude towards him. Such a controversial director came, made such a hard bone that was so unpalatable, is it a show or a love?
Good works and acting skills are the refinement of actors, and likewise, works and evaluations are also the touchstones of directors.
Therefore, unexpectedly, if the corner point is chosen, Bi Zhifei will soon be deformed.
No matter how many times they are invited, the actors will be closed, the actors' hesitation and worry will be captured by the camera, and Bi Zhifei as a director is also a bit cramped.
After that, the actor who was concerned about repeated invitations was also declined.
It was difficult to get together the founding members, but at the beginning, they exposed their shortcomings and weaknesses.
Meeting with the actors, reading the script around the two versions of the character fans will cause confusion for the protagonists, and even the relationship between the characters when acting on the film field will cause confusion.
The barrage suddenly became lively: As a director, don't you even know what you want to shoot?
On the scene, the play is a mess, the play is stumbling, and the protagonists and the director seem to be in two different worlds.
The film field is the director's battlefield, and Bi Zhifei is particularly amateurish in the place where he should be good at, and looks bad.
First of all, I can't understand it when I read the script. After that, he acted on the spot. Many netizens doubted whether Bi Zhifei did nothing during the shooting.
In the face of such "diarrhea" directors, the main actors directly decided to "do as they want".
The actor went out, netizens had doubts, and this was probably the most humiliating director.

The work was finally over, and another hurdle for Bi Zhifei came.
At the scene, there was no actor to help Bi Zhifei, and the mentors and members of the film critics were endless.
The evaluation of [0x4e 35] [0x4e 20], which has always been known for its sharp and vicious, was also as ruthless as usual. "When I saw that you chose 'Spring in a Small Town', I understood why Douban's evaluation was 2.2."
His throat was like a bonito, sitting on a needle feast, like the back of miscanthus, and his heart was no less piercing than his typical language.
Members of other critics' groups are not going to be happy either, with many questioning aesthetics, questioning photography techniques, and questioning whether there is anything new.
Debi Zhifei shed tears on the stage, trying to mention his hard work and explain his work in more detail.
However, what needs to be laughed at most is that Bi Zhifei is not a "jumping beam clown" used to fight, on the contrary, he just happens to have professional theoretical knowledge, professional education, and a very low degree.

Born in 1979 in Shijiazhuang, Hebei Province, he studied at the Beijing Film Academy and received a master's degree in Nortel's Acting Department and a Ph.D. in Film From Peking University.
However, it is such a highly educated talent, self-written and self-directed "Dream Showbiz" that won him the most disappointing director award at the 9th Chinese Film Golden Broom Awards.
He went to collect the prize.
This time, he stood on the stage and was stared at by everyone, suspecting that it was not his own work.

Compared with Bi Zhifei's "theory of effort," Li Chengru said: "Reading books is stupid." Direct shelling.
Bi Zhifei on the show has been trying to explain, trying to convince the insiders of the film critics. In addition to the program, Bi Zhifei also used a lot of ink to explain his intentions and explain his ideas under the issues related to the platform. However, a netizen suddenly said: "It is difficult for people who always make excuses to progress." ”
Compared with many directors, Bi Zhifei has a higher starting point than many people, as he himself said in the show, he should launch good works with his own strength and bring them to the audience.
It's not just excuses, at the end of the day, it's a living competition in the show, not a family.
After the program was broadcast, unexpectedly, there was a lot of controversy, and the views on Bi Zhifei were polarized, with both doubt and reluctance, as well as support and recognition:
They think that this work has sincerity and a certain foundation, at least much better than others expected. After all, the lower limit is there.
All Bi Zhifei needed was my consent, maybe being questioned for a long time, even a little kindness could feel warm enough.
However, blind and fruitless ineffective efforts, no matter how much people listen, will not be bought.
So instead of continuing the discussion, it is better to use your love to add a few good works to the film market.
