In fact, he is the real "shadow"

The movie "Shadow" tells a story about a stand-in, in which Deng Chao plays the stand-in for The Governor of Dadu Ziyu and Ziyu - "Shadow" Jingzhou. In fact, Feng Bai is the real "shadow", because the role played by Feng Bai is the role played by Deng Chao, that is, one person plays the two roles of Jingzhou and Ziyu. It's just that he is Deng Chao's stand-in, he wants to accompany Deng Chao to play Ziyu again, but also to accompany Deng Chao to shoot Jingzhou, and then use technology to let Deng Chao appear instead of him, resulting in the feeling that two identical people appear in a picture, but Feng Bai can never show his face, and in the cast list at the end of the film, he only played the subtitle of "Special Appearance: Feng Bai", but did not have his role name.

Feng Bai told reporters that he had cooperated with director Zhang Yimou many years ago, playing a small eunuch who flashed by in Director Zhang's "Full of Golden Armor", and this time the role was much heavier: "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, the last level I and two other actors to choose, Zhang Director and Deng Chao together to choose me. Since he had to act twice, Deng Chao needed the person who played the opposite role to give him a very strong stimulus, so he was very demanding. ”

Feng Bai said that Deng Chao was an actor he admired, and when he filmed the first scene, his heart beat faster. "In fact, the second time is more difficult to act, the first time I playEd Zi Yu, Deng Chao played Jingzhou; the second time I played Jingzhou, he played Zi Yu, especially after I saw how he played Jingzhou, I feel that 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, he can participate in such a team, can play such a role, can learn Deng Chao's acting skills and serious dedication to the role, and is an unattainable experience for himself.

In the documentary "Zhang Yimou and His "Shadow"", Zhang Dao also praised Feng Bai: "Feng Bai's play is very good! ”

Played a "returnee" farmer in "Document No. 1"

Feng Bai has played roles in many film and television dramas, such as "Cliff", "One Servant and Two Lords", "Red Flag Rolling West Wind" and so on. Not long ago, he starred in the rural theme TV series "Document No. 1", which is expected to land on CCTV next month. Feng Bai played a "returnee" farmer in the play, after returning from overseas studies, he engaged in construction in his hometown, Feng Bai said that this role touched him a lot, "I am a city baby, grew up in Xi'an, but also because of filming this play, I have a lot of understanding of rural life, and I have also learned a lot of agricultural knowledge. ”

Feng Bai is handsome in appearance, already the father of a three-year-old child, "After becoming a father, the role I want to play most is the father, but the scenes that come to me are mostly to let me play my son." This time with Deng Chao, Chao Ge said that as an actor, you must figure out what kind of scene you want to shoot, whether you just want to make a living, or want to break through, or find yourself in the role. It is precisely because of the cooperation in "Shadow" that Deng Chao recognized this Xi'an actor, and at present, Feng Bai is filming Deng Chao's "Galaxy Tuition Class", he said that he will continue to learn and constantly improve himself.
