According to the needs of the plot, there is a scene of singing and dancing in the episode of "Mistakenly Entering the Little Thunder", and this scene can be said to be the most elegant scene in this episode. First of all, director Yang Jie, as a woman, she is very good at using delicate emotions to portray the character of the character, so she adds a lot of "beautiful" plots to the play, even if one shot is not beautiful, director Yang Jie will ask for a remake.

After the TV series was broadcast, the role of Xingxian played by Wang Linghua was also very successful, although there were not many appearances in the play, but the performance was quite spirited, and the smile between the eyebrows was indeed eye-catching, and the audience was deeply impressed by the beautiful dance posture.
There are three scenic spots in a temple, and the filming of "Little Lei Yin Temple" was finally completed
"Mistakenly Entering the Little Thunder"
In the nineteenth episode of "Mistakenly Entering the Little Thunder Yin", the Tang monk and disciple Xi Tian took the scriptures, but unexpectedly mistakenly entered the fake Little Lei Yin Temple that the Huang Mei Monster had illusioned, and the four masters and apprentices were captured successively and finally escaped through various efforts, and recovered the Huang Mei Monster.
The small Lei Yin Temple we saw in the play is actually not filmed in the same place, when the crew used real-life shooting, before and after crossing 21 provinces, the place is surrounded by enthusiastic audiences, in order to facilitate the crew to shoot in the local area, the local special dispatch of the former Jiuhuashan Radio Station Director Li Qiusheng specially assisted the "Journey to the West" crew in all the shooting matters in Jiuhuashan, in fact, before this the crew has gone up the mountain three times to find suitable shooting spots, In the end, with the assistance of Li Qiusheng, he almost found a place to go up and down the mountain, and finally identified three temples as the filming location of the TV series.
<h1 class="pgc-h-decimal" data-index="01" > the flesh treasure hall to complete the scene of the Tang monks and disciples climbing the steps</h1>
The cameraman (Wang Chongqiu) is filming the scene of the master and apprentice climbing the 81 steps in the Flesh Treasure Hall
On July 21, 1986, the crew officially began filming at Jiuhua Mountain, and before the Tang monks and apprentices entered the Xiaoleiyin Temple, the four masters and apprentices first had to climb 81 steps, and the 81 steps were filmed below the Flesh Treasure Hall.
The steps above the flesh treasure
Now, 35 years after the shooting, the steps are still the same, but because the location of the temple's renovation steps has also been moved from the bottom of the original flesh treasure hall to the lower left.
Why did director Yang Jie choose 81 steps to shoot this scene in the first place?
On the one hand, this was because the 81 steps were very consistent with the eighty-one difficulties experienced by tang monks and disciples in the process of seeking the True Scriptures, and the other step was very steep, which was very consistent with the solemn momentum of XiaoLei Yin Temple.
These 81 steps are extremely steep, you know that when filming "Journey to the West", it will be extremely simple in terms of shooting conditions and shooting equipment, in these six years of shooting time, the crew only used one camera and one camera to complete the shooting of all the scenes in the play. In order to shoot the footage of the Tang monks and disciples climbing the steps from multiple angles, only the four masters and apprentices could go back and forth many times, constantly going up and down, and when the Tang monks and disciples were filmed, they went up half down, then half up and down, and then two-thirds of the way up and down.
The director (Yang Jie) is sitting intently in front of the monitor watching the actors filming
July happens to be the hottest time in Jiuhua Mountain, even director Yang Jie sits in front of the monitor and feels dizzy, nauseous and wants to vomit, the director can suffer from heat stroke while sitting still, and Tang monks and apprentices also have to climb up and down the steps.
<h1 class="pgc-h-decimal" data-index="02" > "Huacheng Temple" completes the shot in front of the mountain gate of "Xiaoleiyin Temple"</h1>
Huacheng Temple filmed "Mistakenly Entering the Little Thunder" director (Yang Jie) and Tang monks and apprentices took a group photo with the monks in the temple
In the TV series, after the Tang monks and apprentices climbed the 81 steps, they saw the four big characters of "Little Lei Yin Temple" hanging majestically above the high mountain gate, in fact, these were all the effects of the screen editing, in fact, the filming place of "Little Lei Yin Temple" was not the flesh treasure hall above the steps, but was changed to another temple, Huacheng Temple.
Huacheng Temple, as the main temple of Jiuhua Mountain, hangs three big characters of "Huacheng Temple" high on the door, but in the TV series Why is the Zhongshan Gate hanging "Little Lei Yin Temple"?
Jiuhua Mountain Kaishan main temple Huacheng Temple
Huacheng Temple is the main temple of Jiuhua Mountain, was built in the Tang Dynasty, and now it looks like the high mountain gate is hung with three big characters of "Huacheng Temple", but in the TV series, this position is hung with the four characters of "Xiaoleiyin Temple", what is going on?
Zhang Jie, a local resident of Jiuhua Mountain
It turned out that in order to shoot the needs of the year, the crew temporarily wrote "Little Lei Yin Temple" four words hung up, the photo of the protagonist named Zhang Jie, is a local resident of Jiuhua Mountain, in 1986 Zhang Jie was 28 years old, "Journey to the West" crew came to Jiuhua Mountain after inviting Zhang Jie to help do drama business, engaged in procurement matters, the "Little Lei Yin Temple" plaque in the play is Zhang Jie helped to make.
After the TV series was filmed, the plaque of "Little Lei Yin Temple" was removed, in fact, the crew only filmed the exterior scene of the mountain gate here in Huacheng Temple, and the scenes after the Tang monks and apprentices entered the "Little Lei Yin Temple" were all filmed in another temple "Shang Zen Hall".
Jiuhua Mountain scenery process is really a twist and turn, fortunately, the Emperor Tian did not live up to the painstaking people, through some efforts to finally find the "Little Lei Yin Temple"
The director (Yang Jie) and the crew Jiuhuashan took a group photo
As early as the early days of the establishment of the "Journey to the West" crew in 1982, director Yang Jie led the crew to visit the famous mountains and rivers to find suitable shooting spots, when the crew came to Jiuhua Mountain in Anhui Province, because Jiuhua Mountain was known as one of the "Four Famous Mountains of Chinese Buddhism", looking at the beautiful mountains and green mountains in the distance. At this time, Yang Jie's mind came up with a picture of the twilight drum and morning bell, the green lantern ancient Buddha, and the pure Buddha gate, and a mood of both mystery and piety suddenly emerged, and it was decided that "Journey to the West" would be filmed here.
Pre-production work
But the process of scenery collection is also a twist and turn, because the monk has a prejudice against the crew In the process of the temple scene, the crew has also eaten the closed door soup, fortunately, not all monasteries are prejudiced against the crew, and the monasteries in Jiuhua Mountain, whether it is shabby, ancient, or even small nunnery, have gone in to see it with expectations, but they have not gained.
Shangzendo is filming the scene inside the "Little Lei Yin Temple"
But the emperor did not live up to the painstaking people, the play finally in a not so grand temple, found that there is a vacant hall, director Yang Jie is very happy, this hall from the seat of Rulai to the luohan hall below, Maitreya seat is all empty, the temple that the crew has seen before, no matter the size of the new or old, the seats are enshrined with bodhisattva arhats, even if it is a damaged and destroyed temple, there are also remnants of crooked gods, if you set up the scene, you have to move the Buddha statue out first, so that it is not only time-consuming and laborious, but also accidentally destroyed the Buddha statue.
The director (Yang Jie) took a group photo with the Tang monks and disciples and Maitreya Buddha (Iron Bull) in the Upper Zen Hall
But the hall in front of you is empty, just enough to cooperate with the actors to play the arhat and buddha here, and this hall is quite old, not at all like the newly built hall, if you shoot here, it will look particularly real, it is really "stepping on the iron shoes is nowhere to be found, it takes no effort at all"! This is the Upper Zen Hall, in order to avoid the vacant hall into the statue, director Yang Jie repeatedly told the comrades in the office, we need this vacant hall, do not put the statue inside, "Journey to the West" was used to shoot while broadcasting, once broadcast, it was loved by the audience, completely sensationalized the country, so it also got the support of the temple, and repeatedly promised that it would definitely retain this hall for "Journey to the West".
<h1 class="pgc-h-decimal" data-index="03" > merit consummation", "Shang Zen Hall" main hall completed the interior shooting of "Xiaoleiyin Temple", and received strong support from the Buddhist family</h1>
In July 1986, the crew came to the Jiuhua Mountain Zen Hall to shoot the "Mistakenly Entering the Little Thunder" Huangmei Demon King's fake Lingxiao Treasure Hall. At this time, the crew has returned to Jiuhua Mountain for a full four years since director Yang Jie last came here to shoot, and yang Jie is wondering in his heart along the way, will there be any changes in the original Zen Hall? In particular, is the main hall still empty? With doubts, director Yang Jie and the crew arrived at the Shangchan Hall, but they did not expect that this place not only maintained the original state of four years ago, but also cleaned up, and the abbot of the temple said to director Yang Jie: "He has been paying attention to the filming of "Journey to the West" and waiting for the crew to arrive. ”
Shangchan Hall is as the Huangmei King's fake Lei Yin Temple filming location, in a few days of filming, the monks of the temple often come to watch, at first director Yang Jie was worried that this sacred temple was used as the demon cave of the Huangmei King, will it cause dissatisfaction among the temple monks? Unexpectedly, the monk not only did not resent it, but instead looked at it with relish. At this time it was the sweltering heat, director Yang Jie sat in front of the monitor and suddenly felt dizzy and wanted to vomit, next to a monk said that this is heat stroke, immediately gave Director Yang Jie a small medicine bottle, let Yang Jie rub it in the forehead and nostrils, Director Yang Jie instantly sobered up, the monk said that it was given to him by a Hong Kong benefactor, today specially given to Director Yang Jie, Director Yang Jie gratefully accepted such a small medicine bottle, this gift also fully shows that the crew came to Jiuhua Mountain to shoot the drama and got the support of the Buddhist family.
Lingqi Cave in Hangzhou City, Zhejiang Province completed the scene of the Huangmei King Demon Cave
Huang mei Wang (Cao Duo) and the deputy cameraman (Tang Jiquan) took a group photo
Playing the Yellow Brow Demon King and Maitreya Buddha in the play are the old shanghai factory actors Iron Bull and Cao Duo, and this time the crew invited them to play Maitreya Buddha and the Yellow Brow Demon King respectively. Since the film for decades, both of them have played roles in many movies, and in most of the scenes they have acted, although they have played roles, most of them are supporting roles, and sometimes the roles are not much. Just like this time in the play, both of them play supporting roles, but the two old artists never pick and choose, and they are meticulous about each role and seriously complete it.
The Demon Cave of the Yellow Brow King was filmed in the "Lingqi Cave" in Jiande County, Hangzhou City, Zhejiang Province, and the crew was ready to shoot several scenes of the "Yellow Brow Demon King" cave house in the cave. Because the temperature difference in the cave is very large, the temperature inside the cave is much lower than the temperature outside the cave, and all the tourists who enter the cave for the first time, the staff of the cave must warn them that they must wear more clothes.
As one of the magic weapons of the Yellow Brow King, the golden hammer made Sun Wukong suffer a lot in the play, but during the shooting, the props master made a total of four golden hammers according to the front and back of different scenes
There is such a plot in the play, Sun Wukong is trapped in the golden hammer of Maitreya Buddha, the props are also a major attraction of "Journey to the West", some complex scenes so the props to do one is definitely not OK, you need to do a few shots to complete the change, in order to complete this scene, the props division before and after a total of four gold cymbals.
1: The king of gold and yellow eyebrows made of copper has a feel in his hand
First of all, the gold hammer held in the hand of the Yellow Brow King was copper and had a lot of weight. But precisely because the path has a component, it is impossible to control the angle of the throw.
2: The lighter Jin Rao so that the yellow eyebrow king can easily throw it out
So the props master made a second relatively light golden scratch compared to the original, so that it is easy to control the control angle, and then made a very thin line on the gold scratch, strung on the top of the gold rao, so that the golden scratch is gently thrown above the oblique, which realizes the effect of the slug on the lens from small to large, from top to bottom.
3: Hold sun wukong's golden rao
Holding Sun Wukong's third golden hammer, the artist used a lot of plaster at that time to make a huge gold cymbal that could stand on top of people, and brushed it with gold paint, so that the Eighteen Stars, the Eight Precepts of the Pig Monk and other people could stand on it.
4: Only half of Jin Rao can shoot the inside scene of Sun Wukong trapped in Jin Rao
The most interesting thing is the fourth gold hoop, this golden hammer needs to shoot a close-up shot of Sun Wukong, Sun Wukong in the golden hoop with a gold hoop stick poke, and then turn the golden hoop stick into a "electric drill" drill, all to no avail, so how to show this gold hoop so powerful? The artist came up with a way to blow condoms in the thinnest position immediately above the gold hammer. As soon as the staff blew inside, the outside drums, the inside blew, the outside drums. I tried this several times, and the effect was actually quite good.
Many viewers were curious about what the Yellow Brow King was eating in the cave.
Qingfeng Cave is the last hall of the site of the Yellow Brow Demon King, and it is also the largest hall in the cave, and there is about 100 square meters of space in the middle of the hall, which is six or seven meters high from the top of the cave. The crew artists used a naturally formed slope to make a demon king's throne at the top of the slope.
Props master Zhen Zhicai (Beijing Military Region Comrades-in-Arms Cultural and Labor Corps) was not prepared for a while, and put out small tomatoes and small raw eggplants. Huangmei King (Cao Duo) is very serious when filming, no matter what is on the table, grab it and eat it, seeing that the "melon fruit" on the table is getting less and less, don't look at the Huangmei King in the play, it is called a relish, in the last shot of the filming Director Yang Jie asked Cao Duo to eat faster, the director has been applauding next to the monitor! Good! Good! Quickly, Cao Duo also seriously ate the half-cooked eggplant, and finally threw up on the ground because he ate it too quickly.
The big belly can tolerate the intolerable things in the world, and when he opens his mouth, he laughs at the ridiculous people in the world, and the iron bull makes him associate with the "Maitreya Buddha" in "Journey to the West" with a thick smile
In the original "Journey to the West", there is such a passage describing Maitreya Buddha, which is called "the belly can tolerate, tolerate the things that are intolerable in the world; laugh when you open your mouth, laugh at the ridiculous people in the world." "The editor here has to admire the director Yang Jiehui's insight, and every character in the play is like coming out of the original work."
Iron Bull, real name Yang Xiye, Shandong Ye County people, since childhood born poor family of Iron Bull, in that era of material scarcity, the father had no choice but to go to the Kanto in order to live, nine-year-old mother died of illness and left him, which made the family that was not rich again worse. The two sisters were married one after another, and the young iron cow could only be fostered in a relative's house. In 1946, Iron Bull joined the Communist Party of China and became a member of the Shandong Military Region's Cultural and Labor Corps, and his life slowly took a turn for the better.
After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Iron Bull became an actor in the Shanghai Film Studio, and Iron Bull finally had the opportunity to put his own role on the screen, and more fortunately, Iron Bull also served as the secretary of the branch of the Shanghai Film Actors Troupe of the Communist Party of China and the deputy head of the troupe.
Subsequently, Iron Bull also participated in his first movie "Unite Tomorrow" in the play as a car driver, the young Iron Bull with a handsome appearance, so that Iron Bull is slowly known to the public.
Later, Iron Bull played the chubby warrior "Little Fat Man" Li Jin in the movie "Southern Expedition and Northern War", leaving the audience with the most impressive impression that no matter when the Iron Bull had a thick smile on his face, it was precisely because of this amiable smile that Iron Bull and the "Maitreya Buddha" in "Journey to the West" were related.
The makeup artist (Yang Xue) is making up for Maitreya Buddha (Iron Bull).
From the day "Journey to the West" began filming in 1982, director Yang Jie has been looking for the right person to play Maitreya Buddha, but after three years of painstaking searching, he did not find a suitable actor, until 1986, when the crew filmed the episode of "Mistakenly Entering the Little Thunder" in JiuhuaShan, although there were constantly people auditioning during this period, none of the actors who came to audition could make Director Yang Jie appreciate it.
The director (Yang Jie) is playing a play for Maitreya Buddha (Iron Bull) Sun Wukong (six young children).
But with the filming progress of "Journey to the West" a little bit forward, but the role of Maitreya Buddha has not yet found a suitable actor, and now finally know why this TV series has been on the screen for nearly 40 years, still enduring, in the filming of the director Yang Jie insisted on slow work out of the fine work, the choice of actors is also not at all, because did not find the right actor, which makes Yang Jie very anxious.
Tang monk (Chi Chongrui), smoke master (Liu Li) Maitreya Buddha (iron bull) took a group photo
But the heavens always care for Yang Jie, everything has its own arrangements, once director Yang Jie was invited to participate in a celebration, there were many actors at this celebration, in the chat between friends Zhong Xinghuo and director Yang Jie talked about the filming progress of "Journey to the West", after learning about this matter, Zhong Xinghuo pointed to an actor sitting at the door, and looked in the direction of the finger at the man in front of him always had a thick and simple smile on his face.
The smoke master (Liu Li) is making the smoke needed for filming
Yes, this person is the iron bull, Director Yang Jie showed a satisfied smile at the corner of his mouth, this person is the Maitreya Buddha I was looking for, it is really nowhere to find the iron shoes, it takes no effort, after the makeup artist carefully shaped the iron bull first attached a plastic head cover, a false nose, plus the iron bull itself Rolling melon round belly, the natural smile, is simply the same as the Maitreya Buddha statue enshrined in the hall! Although the Maitreya Buddha portrayed by the Iron Bull is only a supporting role in the play, and the role is very small, but with its wonderful performance, it has left a deep impression on the audience, and now many friends will draw the Iron Bull and Maitreya Buddha equally.
The Yellow Brow King (Cao Duo) is conscientious about art, and although he is nearly old, he still insists on all the actions himself
When the crew filmed the scene of the Yellow Brow King chasing Sun Wukong on the river beach, director Yang Jie considered cao Duo's age problem, once removed six ribs due to surgery, the weather was originally hot, such a strenuous exercise was afraid that the actor's body could not be consumed, so he wanted to find a stand-in to replace Cao Duo to complete the run. However, Cao Duo, in the spirit of dedication, insisted on personally completing the shooting, and the result was unexpected when shooting, and successfully completed this shot, which was unanimously praised by everyone, and Teacher Cao ran to start without any pressure on young people.
Simple props complete the "Guadi Demon Hunt" scene
In the scene "Guadi Catching Demon", Maitreya Buddha, played by Iron Bull, and Huangmei Demon King, played by Cao Duo, have a rival scene, and the crew artist finds a large melon field at the bottom of the mountain. In order to finish filming the scene before noon, the crew set off at four o'clock in the morning to go down the mountain. After a simple breakfast in Guadi, by the time the sun had just appeared, the crew had completed all the preparations before shooting.
In order to make the stunt shot, the crew can be described as racking their brains, first of all, the belly of the Yellow Brow King is getting bigger and bigger, and two hemispherical rubber bags are made in advance, one after the other is tied to the Yellow Brow Demon King (Cao Duo), and then two thin leather tubes are connected to the air outlet of the oxygen cylinder, and when the filming begins, the air valve is opened to inflate the rubber bag, so that the Yellow Brow King's stomach is rolling more and more round.
The veteran actor Cao Duo was over sixty years old when he played the role of the Yellow Brow Demon King, and although he was too old to be rare, he worked very hard when shooting. Before shooting, after Cao Duo put on the costume and tied up the wire, the stunt team ate the watermelon changed by Sun Wukong in order to shoot the yellow eyebrow king, and rolled up and down in pain, in order to shoot this shot, the stunt team also specially made a soil "elevator" on the spot.
During filming, the two crew members used a long bamboo pole to support two wooden stakes, the Yellow Brow Demon King (Cao Duo) hung on the other end of the bamboo pole with a thin steel wire, and several young crew members on the other side pressed the lever to control Cao Duo's rise and fall, so that in the play, the Yellow Brow Demon King was seen in pain.
summary
The reason why "Journey to the West" has endured for more than thirty years is precisely because the crew was meticulous about their work in the spirit of dedication, and those selfless old arts added luster to the crew. Well, the story behind the shooting of this issue of "Mistakenly Entering the Little Thunder" will be shared with you here.
I am a small editor ghost pepper fish, we will not see the next issue!
