Feng Bai: I am the "shadow" in Zhang Yimou's film

Author: Yu Ming

Director Zhang Yimou's new work "Shadow" is being screened, and Xi'an actor Feng Bai dedicates a "special appearance" in "Shadow", although he has undertaken a heavy role, he has never been able to show his face. Feng Bai, who returned to his hometown to participate in the Fifth Silk Road International Film Festival, said in an interview with reporters yesterday: "What does it matter if you can cooperate with the best team in China, even if you don't show your face." ”

The movie "Shadow" tells a story about a stand-in, in which Deng Chao plays the "shadow" Jingzhou, the stand-in of The Governor of Dadu And Ziyu, and in fact, Feng Bai is the real "shadow". "Deng Chao plays two roles in the film, and I am Deng Chao's stand-in. Not only to accompany Deng Chao to play Ziyu again, but also to accompany Deng Chao to shoot Jingzhou, and then use technical means to replace me with Deng Chao, and then produce two identical people to appear in the same picture. Feng Bai told reporters that he had cooperated with director Zhang Yimou many years ago, playing a flashing little eunuch in "Full of Golden Armor", which was much heavier than the drama this time: "At that time, the crew was looking for actors across the country and wanted to find an actor who was more similar to Deng Chao. In fact, the competition is still quite fierce, I have interviewed three times, and the last level I chose with two other actors was selected by Director Zhang and Deng Chao. Since he had to act twice, Deng Chao needed to give himself a very strong stimulus to the person who played the opponent, so he was very demanding. "Feng Bai said that Deng Chao is an actor he admires, so even with such a role, when filming the first scene, he was nervous and his heart beat faster." In fact, the second time is more difficult to act, the first time I play Zi Yu, Deng Chao played Jingzhou; the second time I played Jingzhou, he played Zi Yu, especially I have seen how he plays Jingzhou, it is very difficult to achieve his performance state. It is this rare experience that makes Feng Bai feel that even if he can't show his face, it is unattainable to participate in such a team, and it is definitely a very important acting experience in his acting career. It is no wonder that in the documentary "Zhang Yimou and His "Shadow"", Zhang Yimou praised Feng Bai for "the play is very good!" ”
