The current TV series stars are too serious to polish their skins and beautify their faces, which can be called a change of head. When Ju Jingyi starred in Bai Suzhen, she was criticized by netizens, and this skin was too white to be abnormal.
Recently, Yang Ying in "The Wind Rises longxi", but also questioned that this smiling lip is too dramatic
However, in this play, it has no filters and beauty. Only unique and different characters have faces. This TV series is the 86th edition of "Journey to the West".
Director Yang Jie is China's first female television artist. During filming, she pioneered the audition in casting.
When talking about her criteria for selecting actors, director Yang Jie said: What I ask for is beauty, whether it is a monster or a child, any role must be beautiful, and this beauty should fit her character.
1 daughter of the king of the kingdom
As the director said, this beauty should fit this character. The role of the king of the daughter country has been repeatedly requested by the white bone spirit Yang Chunxia to play.
But director Yang Jie considered the effect of the entire work and repented.
The king of the daughter country is dignified and gentle, while the white bone essence is the opposite. She can't let the audience misunderstand. And she already had a candidate in her mind, and that person was Zhu Lin.
Zhu Lin is a dancer who studied and performed dance in the literary troupe. She has a standard classical beauty.
Director Yang Jie once watched Zhu Lin's films, and both in appearance and temperament are very in line with the role setting.
When Li Chengru, the executive director at the time, learned of this news, he volunteered to invite Zhu Lin. Through Li Chengru, Zhu Lin entered the group.
During the filming, Zhu Lin and Xu Shaohua were incredibly beautiful, and a handsome one was like Pan An,
When the two were working together, because Zhu Lin's costume was somewhat exposed, she would involuntarily tidy up her collar herself. Every time Xu Shaohua accidentally swept his eyes, he would quickly turn his head and close his eyes.
It is this performance that makes the two perform the atmosphere in the play.
Looking at this scene, let the director Yang Jie also see fascinated, a big stroke, write out "Daughter Love" to ask everyone, daughter is not beautiful?
2 apricot immortals
In addition to the king of the daughter country, there was also a person who danced for the Tang monks, and she was the apricot immortal, Wang Mohua
A shy and beautiful apricot fairy, holding an apricot blossom in her hand, with a soft body, dancing. Under the illumination of the lights and scenes, it is as if it came out of the painting.
It is this performance that allows Wang Tohua to successfully win the recognition of director Yang Jie. Even the people who were working at the time gave a thumbs up.
Wang Mohua is a dance graduate with strong professional ability, which is a small meaning for her. Unlike the bold confession of the king of the daughter country, Wang Mohua was shy, embarrassed, and a kind of girlish crush on Tang Monk.
Wang Mohua's vivid performance of Xingxian, especially her shy look, made many viewers fall in love.
3 Ten Thousand Saints Princess
After watching so many fairy spirits fluttering, let's look at a different All Saints Princess one by one.
The book only describes her with the words "multi-petite" and "charming", and when we see these two words, we think of a face with a variety of styles, and we wear less.
Zhang Qing's version is different. Zhang Qing's Princess of All Saints had two thin curved eyebrows and a pair of large watery eyes, which appeared on a goose egg face. Moreover, Zhang Qing's actions are soft and affectionate. Whoever looked at her face was not a first love face.
As for 'enchanting' and 'multi-petite', Zhang Qing has been practicing dancing for many years, with a slender figure and no trace of extra flesh around his waist. Such a figure is also a compliment.
Different from the Princess of All Saints in the original work, Zhang Qing's All Saints Princess is both charming and pure-faced, and the fight value is still very high. Personally, I think this contrast is more attractive than the enchanting her in the original book.
Perhaps director Yang Jie saw this and made Zhang Qing's role more, letting her poison Brother Monkey and return the Eight Precepts to her
Filmed a love triangle with a small white dragon.
4 jade rabbit essence
Compared to the Princess of All Saints, this goblin appeared very harmless. She is Jade Rabbit Jingyi Li Lingyu
Director Yang Jie was struggling to choose a role when she accidentally opened a magazine. A picture of Li Lingyu was found in the Popular Film magazine.
The photo is very small, only the size of a matchbox, but you can still see that the girl has some foreign flavor, and her appearance is very beautiful and sweet. This girl is Li Lingyu.
At this time, Yang Jie remembered the four words of the description of the jade rabbit essence in the original work, and looked at the person in this photo and the white rabbit essence in his mind coincided.
In addition, Li Lingyu came from a Yue opera background, is good at singing and dancing, and has a beautiful dance posture. And the white rabbit essence in the play is also able to sing and dance, which is simply perfect.
The fly in the ointment is that "Journey to the West" is the first TV series she starred in, and Li Lingyu has no experience. It was very challenging for both the crew and her.
However, under her efforts, she still interpreted the strong exotic style of Princess Tianzhu and the delicate girl's appearance perfectly.
It is this role that also allows Li Lingyu to open her own sweet song road.
For director Yang Jie, she has always been grateful, and has repeatedly expressed in public, 'It is director Yang Jie who has achieved the jade rabbit essence and achieved me'.
5 Jade-faced foxes
The next character, in the original book, she is more beautiful than the white rabbit essence. She is the jade-faced fox Zheng Yiping.
In the original work, the jade-faced fox is the pearl in the palm of the fox king, and before he died, he instructed the jade-faced fox to find a capable, loyal, and honest patron as soon as possible, so the jade-faced fox took the family wealth and became someone else's concubine.
As a concubine, Zheng Yiping's jade-faced fox is white-skinned, beautiful, and graceful. She will also change her face and be spoiled, and she should be happy and disgusted. How could she not be pampered like this?
Zheng Yiping made a perfect interpretation of the charm and the touching appearance of the jade-faced fox, no wonder he forgot the Princess of the Iron Fan, so did the audience have a soul?
6 white bone essence
The jade-faced fox makes everyone lose their souls, and this goblin makes us have nightmares. She is the white bone essence - Yang Chunxia.
As a childhood nightmare for children, the white bone essence was terrifying as soon as it appeared, lying in a pile of white bones, and sucking human blood.
At first, assistant director Wang Xiaoying went to Liu Xiaoqing to play the role of Bai Bonejing. At that time, Liu Xiaoqing was a big name, how could it be so easy to star.
Liu Xiaoqing said that she could star, but put forward a condition: she would play three roles at the same time - village girl, old woman, and white bone essence.
Other directors must have agreed to this request, but she met director Yang Jie. How could a director who put dedication first agree.
When the crew was in trouble, the assistant director remembered Yang Chunxia. At that time, Yang Chunxia was a famous Peking opera artist and became very popular in the 1970s.
At that time, Yang Chunxia was very angry when she heard that she was going to play the role of Bai Bonejing. Ask the director group: 'What do you say, you look at me like a white bone spirit.' "
After repeated consultations by director Yang Jie, Yang Chunxia agreed. But a request was made for the daughter king to also be played by her.
Director Yang Jie temporarily agreed for the sake of the overall situation, agreeing to let her play "White Bone Essence" and let her play "King of the Daughter Country". Unexpectedly, I reneged on my word. This incident has also become a regret of director Yang Jie.
Now Yang Chunxia is 73 years old, has long retreated behind the scenes, four generations of a family, and life is happy and happy.
7 Pity in the wedding of the collision - He Qing
On the 23rd occasion, Guanyin took three immortals disguised as mother and daughter and tested the four of them. Among them, the three daughters are true, loving, and pitiful.
At that time, the true and loving in the play were all chosen, and they were only pitiful. The director took them with him. On the train yard, director Yang Jie suddenly found that there was a girl standing at the door.
From a distance, this girl looks very beautiful. And this girl standing by the car door is the player of pity - He Qing.
At that time, He Qing was an actor in the Kunqu Opera Troupe. At that time, she had just finished making a movie and was going back to Hangzhou, just in the same train as the crew.
In this way, Pity also found a candidate.
After "Journey to the West", He Qing has been active in the show business circle, and has starred in many costume dramas such as "Dream of the Red Chamber", "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", "Water Margin" and so on.
8 Chang'e
In addition to the above, there is another one who is very fairy and does not eat human fireworks. She is the Chang'e fairy, Qiu Peining.
Qiu Peining's version of Chang'e, whether it is appearance or temperament, is very much in line with this image. This version is also very popular.
In addition to these, this crew also has small children. They are the seven spider spirits.
When they performed "Journey to the West", the seven of them were only fifteen or sixteen years old. Because the clothes were too revealing, the seven little sisters still cried.
When filming the section of the spray-on navel, all seven people were reluctant to shoot, and the director quickly calmed down when he saw it. When he was embarrassed, the director came up with a good way for the male actors to play for these little sisters.
Of these seven spiders, the big spider is named Yao Jia, the second spider woman Liu Qian, the third spider Du Xianghui, the fourth spider Yang Su, the fifth spider Azhi Shima, the sixth spider Lu Haiyu, and the seven spider Liu Lin.
9 Iron Fan Princess
To introduce you to one more, that is, the Iron Fan Princess- Wang Fengxia
Teacher Wang Fengxia was a famous Peking Opera actress at that time. The 86 version of "Journey to the West" in which she participated is an outstanding actor in the role of Princess Tiefan in operas, film and television dramas so far.
She carefully pondered the personality of the character and believed that this character was not a great evil, nor a good person. Therefore, in the character performance, she behaves more simply.
Unfortunately, three years after she starred in the 86 version of "Journey to the West", she died of illness.
Success is inseparable from director Yang Jie
The 86th edition of "Journey to the West" can be so successful, in addition to the portrayal of the actors, there is also the credit of director Yang Jie
In an interview, Yang Jie once said the reason why Journey to the West can succeed. That is, we engage in art, not for the sake of rice, not for the sake of fame and not for profit.
This masterpiece took a full 6 years, from 82 to 86 years. There was only one camera during the shooting, and director Yang Jie lifted it from the beginning to the end.
In this case, director Yang Jie ran through most of the film and television shooting venues in China with his actors, from Turfan in Xinjiang in the west, to Qinhuangdao in the east, to Changbai Mountain in the north, and to Hainan in the south. The whole process is shot in real-life.
Like the episode of The Red Child, the location of the fire-breathing monster shooting site is at the foot of Changbai Mountain.
