When filming "Journey to the West" that year, Zhao Xinpei, who played the "red child", refused to take off her pants, director Yang Jie coaxed her to wear pants like "red children", how to deceive Tang Monk, so that Zhao Xinpei reluctantly agreed, but made a request, Director Yang Jie cried and laughed after listening to it, in order to shoot a good Journey to the West, Director Yang Jie can be described as painstaking in casting, and actors were selected from all over the country.
Strive to each role close to the original, but there is a monster but difficult to the director, this is the "red child" at that time Yang Director's request is that the small actor must be under nine years old, look cute and perform full of spirit, interviewed dozens of children, either the courage is too small to be photogenic, or like to pretend to be a small adult, not innocent enough, not a satisfied At the time when Director Yang Jie was at a loss, Yu Hong recommended Zhao Xinpei to him, Zhao Xinpei starred in children's dramas at the age of five, and "Thrive" is smart and clever and not afraid of the stage, Left a deep impression on Yu Hong at that time,
Yang Dao also felt good after listening, immediately found Zhao Xinpei to audition, the little guy looks very cute, the big eyes are permeated with aura and there is a wave of pride, this is not the "red child" in Yang Dao's mind, the spot is him,
Director Yang Jie signed a contract with Zhao Xinpei's parents, everything was ready to start shooting, who knew that Zhao Xinpei suddenly made a fuss when the staff changed his clothes, he refused to take off his pants, at that time Zhao Xinpei was eight years old, he understood that men and women have different shame, do not wear pants for fear of others laughing at him, Yang Dao came to persuade him "red child" is not wearing pants If you wear it, it is not a red child, no one will laugh at you,
Zhao Xinpei understood that but he still couldn't let go, let me act, Zhao Xinpei said: You have to promise me a condition, when you will shoot, no girls are allowed, Yang Dao smiled and promised Zhao Xinpei, which was changed into a red child costume to officially shoot the play,
And then Zhao Xinpei's performance greatly surprised Director Yang, although Zhao Xinpei is a small actor but he is very dedicated, in order to play this role, he suffered a lot in the crew, but with the "Journey to the West" broadcast, the majestic red child made the audience love and anger, that sentence are you a rescuer invited by the monkey? It has become a classic line, and Zhao Xinpei has also become a well-known child star.
Countless film and television companies threw an olive branch to him, how to expect him to make a surprising choice, when he was well known, he chose to quit the acting industry, the red child turned into a super bully, and now the identity is surprising, many child stars will hit the iron while it is hot, and will shoot more hot dramas, which can consolidate their fame and improve their income, but Zhao Xinpei is not interested in acting after filming Journey to the West,
His parents also supported him to go back to school to study well, Zhao Xinpei slowly grew up to have a strong interest in computers, his parents spent 3,000 yuan to buy him a computer to toss him, he also became more determined about the road he wanted to take in the future.
In 1995, Zhao Xinpei was admitted to peking university computer science with a high score of 61 hours, and then he was sent to the Institute of Software of the Chinese Academy of Sciences for master's and doctoral studies, he was not only the most educated child star in China, but also married a like-minded high-educated wife when he was in graduate school, and completed a lifelong event.
In 2014, Zhao Xinpei founded his own agricultural technology company, combining agriculture with science and technology, helping the efficient development of new agriculture, making tens of millions of profits in just a few years, and now as CEO, he has 52 companies, and his value has long been hundreds of millions, when Director Yang Jie died, Zhao Xinpei also personally went to mourn, but the figure was blessed, and he no longer saw the shadow of the red child.
Zhao Xinpei is also very open to this, but smiled and recalled: is not to think that I am disabled, anyway, I do not rely on my face to eat, nothing to mind, talking about the experience of that year, Zhao Xinpei only said one sentence: I do not like the entertainment industry, I want to rely on my own ability to do something meaningful, many popular child stars have long been gone after growing up to return to the glory of the entertainment industry, Zhao Xinpei so insists on doing his own development career, becoming a national pillar, he is the real winner in life.
