In 1983, when "Journey to the West" filmed the scene of "Pig Eight Commandments Carrying Daughter-in-Law", Wei Huili, who played "Miss Gao", made a suggestion to director Yang Jie, and Yang Jie patted her thigh:
"It's wonderful! That's it. Unexpectedly, it made Ma Dehua angry.
When "Journey to the West" was first filmed, director Yang Jie chose Sun Guiyuan, a pillar in the Beijing Theater, to play pig Eight Commandments.
Unexpectedly, when filming began, Sun Guiyuan resigned because he felt that the conditions of the crew were too poor and the film remuneration was low.
Director Yang Jie was particularly angry: "If you think the role treatment is low, tell me early, this is almost done, who do you want me to find?"
At this time, Ma Dehua, who played the clown of Kunqu opera in the theater, introduced himself, and he had played the role of the Eight Commandments of the Pig in the drama.
After dressing up, director Yang Jie said: "The image is a little worse, the small eyes are still very good, you must practice your eyes well, all rely on it to play!"
At that time, director Yang Jie did not determine that he played it at the first time, and also found 3 alternative actors.
But after he performed the scene where the eight precepts of the pig ate ginseng fruit, the hunger and laziness of the eight precepts of the pig were vividly reflected, and director Yang Jie directly fixed it.
Before the shooting began, the leader also specially instructed Yang Jie: "The Eight Precepts of the Pig must not shoot vulgar, shoot the stolen goods, and shoot the trouble!"
Director Yang Jie has always kept in mind, so the requirements for the Eight Precepts of the Pig will be particularly high.
After entering the group, Ma Dehua also showed great dedication, but later, Yang Jie learned that Ma Dehua was a Muslim and could not eat with them.
Director Yang Jie was a little embarrassed, after all, there were so many people in the crew, how could he make a copy for him alone.
Ma Dehua said: "Faith is faith, art is art, as long as you give me a steamed bun and pickles in life, you can do it, and I will certainly not cause trouble to the crew."
This sentence made director Yang Jie very moved, and Ma Dehua is indeed a dedicated actor who is willing to dedicate himself to the acting career.
Among the four masters and apprentices, only Ma Dehua wears a mask and stomach made of latex all year round, which is not breathable in summer and is particularly cold in winter.
But Ma Dehua never complained, unexpectedly, because of a scene, he was not very happy.
It turned out that the scene of "Pig Eight Commandments Back Daughter-in-law" was played by Peking Opera actress Wei Huili as "Miss Gao", Wei Huili looked like a clear eyebrow, and played with her, Ma Dehua was still very happy.
But that scene was to carry Sun Wukong to become Miss Gao up the mountain, in order to perform Sun Wukong's monkey appearance and agility, Wei Huili specially suggested to the director:
"I can't honestly lie on my stomach, that's not colorful, my knees are on his knees."
When the director heard about it, he couldn't help but clap the case and immediately agreed.
But Ma Dehua suffered, originally he was 40 years old at that time, no more physical than the young man, but also painted so heavy makeup, and a big belly.
It was really difficult for him to carry a lively and chaotic "monkey" on his back, Ma Dehua was tired enough, and his face was naturally not good-looking.
Wei Huili also quickly apologized, all for filming, hoping that he could understand.
Ma Dehua saw that the shooting effect was good, and he was not too calculated, even if it was hard work, it was not in vain!
After the filming of "Journey to the West", Ma Dehua did not become as popular as the six-year-old child and Chi Zhongrui, probably because he always wore a mask.
And at that time, he only shot an episode for forty or fifty dollars, and only 45 episodes in 3 years, with an average annual salary of only two or three thousand yuan, which was not as good as the wages of many workers.
Today, Ma Dehua is 77 years old, and he will occasionally appear on the screen, still the most classic pig eight precepts in his mind.
