Time Network News is directed and starred by Bao Bell, and the comedy film "Big "Anti" faction" co-starring Li Jiaqi, Clara, Wei Xiang, etc. is being released. A few days ago, Bao Bell accepted an exclusive interview with Time.com, sharing the behind-the-scenes story and creative ideas of the film.
The movie "The Big "Anti" faction tells the story of the young actor Bi Chao (played by Bao Bell) who mistakenly thought that he was a heinous villain due to accidental amnesia, and also mistook the actress Bingbing (played by Clara) who played against him for his wife (played by Li Jiaqi) in reality, in order to make his wife live a better life, Bi Chao made up his mind to complete the villain's mission of "kidnapping the rich", and in the process accidentally talked to the boss (played by Zhou Dayong), the second (played by Ma Xudong), and the third (chirp). The three gangsters formed a bond and embarked on an unlucky and hilarious journey of being crushed.
In and out of the play, the characters Bi Chao and Bao Bell are both actors, Bao Bell revealed that Bi Chao's story is partly inspired by his own life feelings, "I sometimes work outside for ten or nine months a year, and a lot of time is spent on work, and when I was in Beijing, I also went out to meet every day to discuss the script, in fact, I rarely accompanied my family, and sometimes my family didn't dare to tell me when I was sick, for fear that I would be in a hurry." Sometimes I blame myself for not living the wrong life. Bi Chao in the movie finally realized that family is far more important than fame and fortune after experiencing a "villain" journey of "chickens flying and dogs jumping".
In China, comedy movies are not "advanced" in the eyes of many audiences, as a comedy creator, Bao Bell is also very calm about such a voice, "I think the audience has high requirements for comedy, and even for movies, this is inevitable." With the increase in the number of films read by the audience, as the film market is getting better and better, a variety of movies are presented in front of the audience. Originally, literary films like literature may have no box office at all, but now there are also literary theaters in China, and many people go into the cinema to watch literary films. I think people watch a lot of films, and they have requirements for movies and comedies, which is actually a motivation for us. We need to learn more things than the audience, read more books, and spend more time on creation, so that we can keep up with the audience, or even run a little faster than them. So there are some of us who haven't run the audience, so we will naturally be criticized by the audience, and there is no way to do it, we can only blame ourselves for not being good at learning. ”

Comedians inevitably have to pretend to be ugly in movies, and Bao Bell admits that he has no pressure on this, "I'm not an idol, I'm not good-looking, I don't have to pretend to be ugly, I'm also quite ugly, I think it's okay." Everything is for the audience, everything is for expression, and I don't think the matter of beauty and ugliness should be something that actors should worry about...... Sometimes I do look in the mirror and feel that I don't look good, and I have to be an actor, which is quite 'shameless', but this is a career I love, so what should I do, then keep working hard. ”
Viewers who have watched "The Big "Villain" will find that a series of tributes to classic villains in film history have appeared in the movie. Bao Bell himself revealed that he is also a fan in life, "I like any type of movie, it's very strange, I also like literary films, feature films, and even documentaries." For example, "Poor Thing", which has become popular recently. For example, last year, there were two particularly good movies in Iran, one called "World War III" and the other called "Golden Splendor", both of which were great...... I'm actually a person who puts a lot of pressure on myself, and movies are one of the few ways I can relax. Just like there is Yan Ruyu in the book, and there is a golden house in the book, I can see other people's lives in the movie, I can see other people's spiritual world in the movie, I feel very dreamy and happy. ”
Actor-turned-director Bao Bell has previously directed films such as "Fat Squad" and "Sunshine Sisters". Bao Bell said that being an actor is a very passive profession, and changing from an actor to a director is also to give himself more choices, "I am an actor, but I am not a very good actor, I am an actor." Many times, faced with being chosen, you want to participate in some big directors and big productions, but you may not be able to use you if you are not capable. You want to play that good role, it's likely that you haven't played it, and people don't trust you. For example, I played a eunuch, and this play was broadcast well, and all the scripts you received in a year were asking you to play the eunuch. You played a guard, and the guard played a good play, and it was all the guard's script for a year. So sometimes if you want to change your current situation, you need to keep working hard. I didn't have many dramas at that time in 2016, and I wanted to transfer to the director to shoot the role I wanted to play, so I went to pull funds, get the script by myself, become an actor by myself, and play the role I could play, and I believed that I could handle it myself. To this day, too, he is still an actor and has been chosen. So being a director allows me to play a role like "The Big "Anti" faction, if I don't become a director, I sit at home and wait, I don't know when such a role will come to me. It is a no-brainer. I think it's a tortuous path to your dreams, but I'm willing to try, I'm willing to try. ”
