After the release of the movie "Love Myth", the topic became higher and higher, and the life of the male protagonist prototype and painter Bai Hongwei suddenly changed from "white" to "red".
He lives on the upper floor of the Shanghai Drama Center on Anfu Road, and on weekdays, the next floor will be captured by strangers on the street, fortunately, this Shanghai man with a height of one meter and eight meters even if he goes to buy a cup of coffee across the road, he also wears a top hat and makes the mountains green, which is called "living up to expectations".
The first night of the New Year 2022
At the East Asia Bookstore on South Suzhou Road, the painter Bai Hongwei wrote down the "Declaration of Love" and his blessing to the Xinmin Evening News with a brush he was not good at using: "Long live love, long live the Evening News"!
This night, coinciding with the fortieth anniversary of the Xinmin Evening Revenge Magazine, "love" was layered on a thin piece of paper with a diverse, rich, and thick appearance, which made people feel a thousand emotions.
True false false grafting
In the movie, Bai Hongwei actually made a cameo role - "Big Guy A / Uncle A", which is the ordinary uncle who has met Lao Bai in the vegetable market and asked Lao Bai "What Is Chenguang Raising a Little Man" in the café.
The White Red Guard made a cameo appearance in the film
In a flash, the ordinary and unsuspecting audience will hardly pay attention to this "beard".
The film is not a documentary, virtual and real, the elements jump grafting, Bai Hongwei admits that the male protagonist Lao Bai does have most of the lao bai from reality.

For example, the prototype of Lao Bai's son and beauty expert Bai Pigeon in the movie is the son of Bai Hongwei's friend, and there is a family business in Xinchang, Zhejiang.

For example, in reality, Lao Bai has a pair of mixed-race children, and in the movie, Miss Li's daughter Maya carries the shadow of the son of Bai Hongwei.
Bai Hongwei father and son will also talk about each other's emotional problems, and the difference from the movie is that the father and son walked around Anfu Road for more than an hour, and finally, the son asked him: "Dad, I have an Italian girlfriend, but I now like a Spanish girl, how to express this in Chinese?" ”

Even Bai Hongwei's mother entered the play with a unique behavior: "Like the old white mother in the movie, my mother also likes to move her family's things around, and in real life, my mother likes to move half of the things used in my sister's house to me, I always tell her, Mom, Nong don't give me half of the things my sister uses anymore? ”

In the script, Lao Bai's residence was designed according to the layout of Bai Hongwei Studio, but the decoration style had changed when shooting, and the crew rented a place with a similar pattern on Wuyuan Road.
Serious cooking
"Love Myth" shows
Shanghai's "super rich and long" area
Personality café, plane tree shadow.
Now Lao Bai spends half the year planting corn in Zhucheng, Shandong, because "only when he is away from the busyness of Shanghai can he have the mood to write novels."
Old white in the cornfield
The other half of the time is in Shanghai to teach children to draw, interspersed with free time, and will also make private dishes in the bungalow next to Huaihai Road.
However, professionals such as laobai, teaching painting must be arranged indoors, and the light that changes outdoors at any time cannot teach novices to draw.
The white and red guard who is cooking
Private dishes, really as in the movie, buying a berry, all by the old white hand to do, do not allow others to intervene to help, in fact, really want to help can not help anything, a week at most burn three trips to the frequency of private dishes, lao bai can completely calmly cope.
Say complex is not too complicated, Bai Hongwei's best dish is still the gang dish, clam stewed egg, braised meat, "glutinous rice sugar root generally I do not do, this dish does not have any technical content, buy ready-made can be, braised shrimp is the most difficult to get." "Old Bai talked about the dish in a serious way.
Once, Bai Hongwei declared in the circle of friends that "a ticket stub of the "Love Myth" movie, for two corns."
Originally it was a joke, unexpectedly, the movie was released all over the country ticket stubs like snowflakes flying, the message in the circle of friends made him harvest corn speed can not catch up with the speed of distribution, touched, he also felt quite funny, "Fortunately, what was said at the beginning was two instead of two boxes." ”
Draw seriously
The special era gave the White Red Guard
A name with distinctive characteristics,
The development of the times also gave the White Red Guard
Wide range of literary and artistic hobbies.
His paintings are as delicate as a reflection of the heart,
The flutter between the crickets' feet seemed to jump on the paper.
In fact, as early as 2008, Bai Hongwei held a solo exhibition in Beijing 798, and now that gallery has long ceased to exist, but what makes Lao Bai relish is that he successfully sold five paintings on the day of the exhibition, and the curator of the exhibition, Shi Jianbang, was like "Lao Wu" to Lao Bai at that time.
Recently, in an old house along the street on the Bund on Yan'an East Road, Lao Bai really has a painting exhibition about to open.
Painting, writing, music, like the old white in the movie, The White Red Guard was tired, so he sat on the roof of the studio and played the self-taught African drum, indulging in music for six or seven hours.

The movie "Love Myth" made Bai Hongwei's life suddenly become a lot more violent, but he rarely maintained his inner sobriety: "The film outputs Lao Bai's Shanghai lifestyle and attitude, and then the hilarity lasts for at most a week, after that, life is business as usual." ”
Who says art comes from life,
It must be higher than life,
clear
Life is going to be better than art itself
A little bit smarter.
