In the 82nd edition of Journey to the West, to say who is the most expensive actor, it is estimated that many people will say that it is a six-year-old child, and some people may say that it is Ma Lan, that is, the actor who plays the mother of Tang Monk, the story of sending Ma Lan in the year, and it is also said from time to time, the most expensive actor in journey to the West is actually the actor Wang Bozhao who plays the little white dragon, a total of 3 episodes, the film remuneration is as high as 1500, the crew is tight in funding, all kinds of thrifty use, according to the character of Director Yang Jie, it is certain that it will not spend so much money to invite Wang Bozhao, So who asked for that?
When filming the episode of "Monkey King Bao Tang Monk", the director was looking for an actor for Xiao Bailong, by chance, director Yang Jie saw Wang Bozhao and felt that his handsome appearance was very suitable for playing Xiao Bailong, so he asked the crew to contact him, Wang Bozhao was in college at the time and starred in the movie "Pen in Love", which was a big fire, but how could the starring actor of Zheng Hong be willing to play a supporting role?
So Wang Bozhao told the crew that unless he played Tang Monk, he would not play Xiao Bailong, but director Yang Jie felt that he was full of heroism, there was no sense of weakness of Tang Monk, Xiao Bailong just needed this kind of heroic actor, plus Tang Monk had already fixed Xu Shaohua, it was impossible to change people, so there was no promise, Yang Director felt that Wang Bozhao was the best candidate for Xiao Bailong, so he told the production director that Xiao Bailong's candidate was none other than him, no matter what method was used, he must be invited.
Later, the production director looked for Wang Bozhao again, this time Wang Bozhao made an unreasonable request, to play Xiao Bailong can also, the film remuneration to 500 yuan an episode, Wang Bozhao originally wanted to use high-priced film remuneration to scare off the producer, did not expect that after a few days, the producer actually agreed, but there is a requirement that the film remuneration can not be told to anyone, to rot in the stomach.
So Wang Bozhao agreed and starred in 3 episodes of Journey to the West, the film remuneration was as high as 1500 yuan, which was a sky-high price in that year, to know the price of the year, pork was only a few cents a pound, the film remuneration of several starring children of six children was only 50-70 yuan an episode, several leading actors filmed the entire play, and the film remuneration was not as much as Wang Bozhao's three episodes.
It is said that the production director at that time was mainly responsible for talking about the remuneration to find actors, but this production director had a bad place that he liked to make up his own mind, spend money and did not like to consult with the director, some actors' remuneration did not tell the director, and he was confused to report the account, and he felt that he could be the master of the money and did not need to tell the director. Therefore, when he later heard Yang Dao say that he insisted on inviting Wang Bozhao, he himself agreed to Wang Bozhao's unreasonable request.
This matter, Yang Dao has not been aware, many years later, on a program, Wang Bozhao felt that he was uneasy, very ashamed and guilty, only to tell the truth, several masters and apprentices listened, they all exclaimed: "It turned out that your boy earned all the money." Yang Dao also loudly reprimanded Wang Bozhao at that time: "How dare you." If I had known that the crew had given you this number, I certainly wouldn't have used you. If I knew you were such a person, I would have cursed you to death. It was also through Yang Dao that Wang Bozhao learned that the 1500 yuan given to him by the production director was cut out from everyone's food, accommodation, and transportation costs.
Wang Bozhao starred in the little white dragon, one of which was a fight scene with Sun Wukong, when the martial arts instructor asked him if he needed a stand-in, Wang Bozhao, because he took the sky-high price of the film, was too willing to go, insisted on going into battle himself, did not use a stand-in, and deliberately learned martial arts a few days in advance, when fighting, the whole person rolled over from the stone, did not use a stand-in, did not wear thick protective clothing, after filming, there were a lot of bruises from the stone diaphragm, which was also very dedicated.
Later, Wang Bozhao also said that although he has played many roles, but many have been forgotten, including the film protagonist of that year, but now many people see him, will still remember that he is "little white dragon", this small role is impressive, but it is remembered by the audience, an actor can be recognized and remembered by the audience, he feels that this sense of glory and sense of achievement is brought to him by director Yang Jie, and he is very grateful to Director Yang for his insight and pearls, and later Yang Director died, he also went to the scene to send Yang Director on his last journey, It can also be regarded as a heavy love and righteousness, grateful for the grace of the year.
In fact, the role is not the size, as long as the heart to ponder the acting, the same can also be recognized and remembered, there are too many impressive roles in the Journey to the West, although they are not starring, but the same is very brilliant, I think, this is also one of the reasons why Journey to the West can become a classic.
