As the first of the four famous works in China, "Journey to the West" is now also a popular IP, from costume dramas to films, for a long period of time everyone can see the literary and artistic creations changed from Journey to the West. In fact, in addition to the 1986 version of "Journey to the West" that we all know best, Hong Kong has also filmed a "Qi Tian Dasheng" with Sun Wukong as the protagonist. At that time, there was also a wave of attention to Journey to the West.
But what many people may not realize is that the starring Sun Wukong of this series is actually played by 2 actors, a small part of which is played by Zhang Weijian in the front, and replaced by Chen Haomin in the back. Although the two actors have created the brand image of Sun Wukong very impressively, this kind of temporary change of actor is taboo in the photo process, so what is the implication of doing that in this drama?
After understanding the broadcast of this drama for two years, Zhang Weijian only told the original truth in an exclusive interview. Originally, Zhang Weijian's salary was very low at that time, and in the case of the entire drama, Zhang Weijian looked for a director to expect to be able to increase his salary.
In fact, this is also a very conventional rule, but the director scolded him after rejecting him. It is said that Zhang Weijian is basically not easy to red if he does not have hair on his face. They are an insult to a young actor. In order to better illustrate that even if he does not rely on makeup, zhang Weijian can still have a character successful, so he got a bald head for himself.
In fact, many stars in Hong Kong are very low-paid, and after the salary increase, there may be very few who are scolded by directors. In any case, Zhang Weijian, as an excellent actor in Hong Kong, also participated in many good creations for the audience to remember him. And a large number of unknown actors are likely to not even have the courage to promote their jobs and raise their salaries. Zhang Weijian is interpreting life, and his superb performance is also easier to be remembered by the audience. I think that the director's insult to him like that is really partial.
