As of this week, the movie "", which has been released for a month, cannot be stopped at the annual meeting! "" box office has exceeded 1.1 billion yuan, with a Douban score of 8.2. In the film, Ma Jie, the human resources manager played by Baike , was caught up in a "wrong adjustment" incident. In order to save his job, he was forced to conceal mistakes for his leaders and mediate everywhere. Baike said that the final presentation of the film was much better than he had imagined, and some plots even moved him so much that he "couldn't stop crying."

Baike became famous through dubbing. He once worked in a radio station. After resigning, he chose Beidiao and joined Wanhe Tianyi. Since then, he has joined the classic character Wang Dachui and played important roles in many film and television works. He said that he never expected to become a big star, but only pursued a stable and down-to-earth life every day. "I don't know how I got here (laughing), let alone what plans I have. But if you want to say what I really want to act, I still want to act funny, even if it's some bad jokes. I'm quite happy too. Because what I care more about is the people I work with, everyone gets along well, and the working process and filming process are happy, more than anything else."
Played Ma Jie well, just follow the feeling
The movie "Annual Party" Can't stop! "", Ma Jie, played by Bai Ke, is the deputy leader of the employee relations department of Zhonghe Group. He has no extraordinary abilities and cannot flatter his boss to please his boss. He is called "average emotional intelligence" by his boss and he also likes to make inquiries. Being able to do this job well is all because he works 365 days a year, often working overtime and being on call. The new relationship owner Hu Jianlin ( Dapeng ) changed his career destiny. Although the other party was his subordinate, for the sake of "that relationship", he gave him a 90-degree bow when they first met. In order not to He makes mistakes, takes on all the dirty work, and is extremely busy every day... And this ordinary employee has become the most sympathetic character for the audience, "Ma Jie is not annoying, on the contrary, he is very cute. He Everything he does is reasonable. Because of all kinds of messy rumors, his handling will be a bit dramatic. But in life, I think he is a very trustworthy person and can handle these workplace conflicts very well. Beautiful."
In the film, Ma Jie (right, played by Bai Ke) personally goes to the lobby on the first floor of the office building to welcome his subordinate Hu Jianlin (left, played by Dapeng) to report to the unit. This is also the first time the two comedians have collaborated.
《The annual meeting cannot be stopped! "Before, Baike had collaborated with director Dong Runnian in the movie "The Man Caught by Light", and the two had always kept in touch; while Dapeng, another partner in the film, had known him for many years, but had never known each other. In-depth cooperation, "In fact, I don't know if Brother Peng and I know each other. What I understand is that we are very familiar with each other in life. But he and I, " Never expected " and "Diaosi Men" were broadcast At that time, one was on Youku and the other was on Sohu. It was impossible for me to guest star on his show, and it was not easy for him to come to my place. Although knew each other, we had never crossed paths. We had not seen each other much in ten years, let alone cooperated. , so I am very much looking forward to ."
For Baike, Ma Jie is a role that "doesn't require too much effort". Before becoming an actor, Baike also experienced a long period of working life. In his words , accumulated a strong "class flavor", and there is almost no need for research and experience on how to deal with people in the workplace. "Ma Jie has many similarities with ordinary office workers, such as listening to the leader's speeches with trepidation, thinking about what to do in the future, etc. But I am a little more individual than Ma Jie, and Brother Peng is also smarter than Hu Jianlin. We I'm still shaping the characters, but these characters are too relevant to everyone's lives, so just follow your feelings."
It's hard to make people laugh.
What's interesting is that the film combines comedians of different styles, including the "first generation Internet celebrities" Dapeng and Baike, and the easy-to-play little person spokesperson Wang Xun, Sun Yizhou, the "Lu Ziqiao" in "Love Apartment", also has Tong Monan, Yang Lei, Carnivore, who became famous for "Talk Show Conference", as well as Song Muzi, He Wenjun, Wang Hao from "Annual Comedy Competition". Can the comedy style be unified? This is something that director Dong Runnian has always been worried about. For Baike, this is also a big challenge in performance. Everyone needs to adapt to each other, take over each other's comedy lines and reactions, and learn to use their own performances in the set scenes and comedy points. The method is used to polish the plot. "The annual meeting cannot be stopped! "It's very special, just like the Wang Shuo comedy I watched when I was a child. It has some deep irony, which is rare. Of course, I don’t think it needs to bear anything special. It’s enough to relieve the audience’s pressure. explores things that are close to everyone’s lives. If you find resonance, you won’t feel artificial when creating. Directly speaking about reality is actually more convincing. "
Baike admitted that making a comedy is indeed not an easy task. It is difficult to make people laugh. "Technically it is difficult to analyze how to make a good comedy. From the perspective of film and television teaching, comedy seems to be a Things that cannot be taught can be taught, such as cross talk and duet performances with fixed patterns, but it is difficult to teach comedy performances in schools. After all, this thing is so different from person to person. In addition, the jokes and routines are limited, and the same routine cannot work frequently in a short period of time. But tragedy is different. The death of a loved one in any story can make you sad, even though it's about the same thing. "
Bai Ke loves comedy, but he knows very well that it is difficult to make people laugh.
"But you still enjoy it? "The reporter asked.
Bai Ke thought for a while, "Because I spend most of my time working with everyone, rather than specifically receiving feedback. After you throw out the work, any outcome is possible. The key is that you did it with your heart. For me, what values more is daily interaction with the people around me. I like to do comedies because most comedy sets are very happy. Everyone is thinking about how to be funny, how to be sarcastic, and how to help the audience express their feelings. To be honest, this is very enjoyable. "
Acting is not to prove anything
After the movie was released, some people said that Hu Jianlin and Ma Jie were "mouth substitutes" for people in the workplace. Others commented that Baike's performance in this movie was very natural, not intentionally funny, and was serious. To bring joy to people. In Bai Ke’s view, whether it is before or now, if judged by his ability to be funny, he is really not a qualified comedian. , “I only did comedy in the first place, and because This thing is easy to operate in terms of cost, and the things that are complained and spoofed are all taken from real life. But I really don’t like to be funny, and I am not the kind of person who is particularly good at using some means to make everyone happy. If you ask me to tell jokes, I am not very good at telling them, and if you ask me to make exaggerated physical jokes, I don’t like to do them either. But my brothers (Liu Xunzimo, Zhang Benyu, Kong Lianshun, etc.) and I are indeed very interesting people. We have our own humor, which can be seen in our speech, behavior and performances, but we cannot be said to be comedians. Since he is not a comedian, he is not limited.
Ten years ago, the series "Unexpectedly" starring Bai Ke was famous for satirizing the workplace. "Whose youth has never had a Wang Dachui?" Because it is too classic, the image of the protagonist Wang Dachui is also similar to that of Bai Ke. He has been tied up for many years, but there is always a completely different world about him. In fact, the audience did see another side of Bai Ke as an actor on the big screen. In the movie "The Man Caught by the Light", he was a gangster, In "It's Worth It" he is a talkative business wizard, in "Looking for Her" he becomes an ordinary person struggling to make a living, and in "Not Ending" he tries to fight against the tide of the times on his own... He can't Let your character live in a cookie-cutter comedy.
Wang Dachui is so well-known that it is difficult for the audience to separate this character from Baike, but Baike does not want to live in a cookie-cutter comedy.
Bai Ke has always believed that he broke into this industry accidentally, and it was fate that brought him to where he is today. He is very happy to be able to film with a group of like-minded brothers and colleagues, do what he wants to do, and have film appointments. . He refuses to bear the pressure and baggage, and hopes to try something different, but this does not necessarily mean he will gain something. "Acting is not to prove that I can act, it is just an expression to enrich myself."
Dialogue
Bai Ke: Any performance has regrets, I accept it
Beijing News: At the end of the film, Ma Jie finally got his wish and got a promotion. Do you think he will become a leader like Pete or Jeffrey in the future?
Bai Ke: is really possible. Before that, I designed a scene where Hu Jianlin organized company leaders to go to the factory for training. Ma Jie and Penny had nothing to do, so they took commemorative photos with Hammer for everyone. After the chairman arrived, Ma Jie asked Penny to take a photo of him and the chairman because it was difficult for Ma Jie to meet the chairman at his level. I thought it would be useful to take a photo together, and sure enough, it was used in the easter egg.
Beijing News: You mean that Ma Jie put a photo of himself and the chairman on his desk.
Bai Ke: Yes, this is very interesting. I personally like the ending of the easter egg. Ma Jie is actually a vain person who also wants to climb up and is eager for promotion. He put the group photo on the table to prove that he is actually ambitious. In fact, I don't hope that Ma Jie will complete some changes in his personality after this experience. He is just a layman who has to support his family and children. This is the reality and there is no need to deliberately sublimate his personality.
Beijing News: You have always emphasized that "the annual meeting cannot be stopped!" "" has uniqueness and irony. In your opinion, comedies like this are rare?
Bai Ke: Yes, I think there should be more ironic comedies like this. Of course, there are many such works, and there must be good and bad ones. But regardless of whether it’s a good movie or a bad movie, you can’t beat them to death with one stick. Good movies also show what is good because there are bad movies there, so you should try them all. This time we had the opportunity to come across such a script, and it was actually quite enjoyable to shoot. Many years ago, we made "Unexpectedly" to satirize our boss. The boss also knew that we were "scolding" him, but he would not get angry or do anything about it. Not only was it great for us, but we also had a new way to express our thoughts to the boss.
Bai Ke believes that there are differences in any performance and there will be regrets. What actors have to do is accept the evaluation from the outside world. Beijing News reporter Guo Yanbing photo
Beijing News: The outside world generally believes that you are very suitable for the role you play. How do you view your acting skills?
Bai Ke: There must be some imperfections in any performance of . I accept the regret. If the role is interpreted by the actor, then the role will definitely be marked by the actor. This is normal. Otherwise, the actors will be produced according to the assembly line and act according to the so-called performance standards of high acting skills and clear lines, but this will lose the diversity of performance. . Why do we need a colorful film and television industry? Need actors with diverse personalities? It is precisely because of the difference that some people will praise and some will criticize. All you have to do is accept it and then perform in a down-to-earth manner.
Beijing News: It is said that actors will grow with the role, and many things about the role will remain in the actor. Is this obvious to you?
Bai Ke: I don’t feel any change at all. I am still a person who expresses my feelings directly. But it’s true that being on the set all the time will develop some of the characters’ habits and ways of thinking. But I don't think that the character will change because of the role. I haven't encountered it anyway.
