I believe that many people are very affectionate about "Journey to the West" now, but if you want to say an impressive bad guy in "Journey to the West", how many more can you say? Do you remember Liu Hong, the boatman who killed Tang Monk's father Chen Guangrui in "Journey to the West", and the vicious smile after Liu Hong killed Chen Guangrui in the TV series has always been a childhood nightmare.
When I was a child, I felt that Liu Hong was the source of all evil, and without him, Tang Monk could not be a widow, and he might not have become a monk, and there would be no excitement of "Journey to the West". However, the novel is a novel after all, some arrangements are predestined, and the actor who plays Liu Hong in the play is not bad, quite bad people.
Looking back now, it seems that this actor actually played a very important position in "Journey to the West", not only starring in several roles, such as the boatman Liu Hong and the father-in-law who sent fruit to Sun Wukong in his childhood, but also a voice actor, black bear monster, golden horn king, tiger power immortal are all voiced by him. In the Spring Festival Gala of the "Journey to the West" crew, this actor also appeared as the main actor.
It turned out that this actor was named Han Shanxu, a national first-class actor, enjoying special allowances, and Yang Jieli, the director of "Journey to the West", encountered a lot of trouble when filming Journey to the West. As the backbone staff of the Beijing People's Art Theater, Han Shanxu took the lead in supporting director Yang Jie, and when there was a shortage of personnel, he personally played the role, solving many thorny problems for Yang Jie for "Journey to the West".
Later, although "Journey to the West" was popular, people only hated the boatman who killed Chen Guangrui, but almost no one knew about Han Shanxu as an actor, and because Han Shanxu was not handsome in appearance and his image was more in line with the bad guys, few people knew that he was also a hero behind the scenes. Therefore, Han Shanxu can only play a supporting role or a bad person in many later dramas, and although his acting skills are good, he has always played red people and is not popular!
In addition to acting, Han Shanxu is also a very low-key person in life, when he was young, Han Shanxu studied art from his teacher, learned many types of martial arts, and participated in martial arts performances in the Beijing Tianqiao Market, but these are almost unknown. In June 2016, Mr. Han Shanxu also could not help but pass away at the age of 79 due to the torture of illness. Now the veteran actors of the "Journey to the West" crew have gradually passed away, but the classics they have created will never be forgotten!
