"Chinese actors have that whoever wears this dress is a Tang monk!"
Director Yang Jie never expected that filming "Journey to the West" was not a calamity for Tang monks and apprentices, but his own "nine nine eighty-one difficulties." ”
After filming the first three episodes, the first Tang monk Wang Yue picked the pick.
I finally found the second Tang monk Xu Shaohua, who thought he could last until the end, but refused to perform halfway.
The two sides have their own opinions on the reason, one party has more than one university as a shield, and the other party reveals that it is a five-dollar matter.
After that, "Journey to the West" became a household name, and the role of the Tang monk had long been changed.
Has Xu Shaohua, who passed by success, ever regretted it? What is his current situation?
1. Accidental connection with "Journey to the West"
After receiving the shooting task arranged by the superior, director Yang Jie immediately entered the intensive preparation, from obedience to casting, everything is of high standards and strict requirements, and there is no room for sloppiness.
She recruited beautiful girls from all over the country, some introduced to the group, and some pulled from the train.
He Qing was discovered by Yang Jie on the way home by train after filming "Shaolin Lay Disciple".
At that time, she and the six-year-old child were sitting opposite each other, watching this handsome girl couldn't bear to let go, and directly invited her to participate in "Journey to the West".
This is why the classic character of "Mercy" was created by mistake.
In addition, there are Zhu Lin, Li Lingyu, Qiu Pening, Zuo Daxuan and other beauties, when they were young, they were all beautiful in the world.
The supporting role group is still so powerful, not to mention the protagonist group, each of the four masters and apprentices is carefully selected and approved by the leader.
But I didn't expect that the most worry-free "Tang Monk" in the play was the least worry-free outside the play.
The first Tang monk Wang Yue couldn't stand it after filming three episodes and complained that the conditions were too harsh.
Shaving his head was acceptable, but he didn't expect to stay in the temple for a few months, the point is that no killing is allowed in the temple! You can only be tortured by mosquitoes with a bald head, not to mention more torment.
Just at this time, a director handed over a movie invitation, and Wang Yue left in less than ten days.
Seeing that the entire crew came to a standstill, Yang Jie was so anxious that he couldn't sleep all night, and when he was helpless, Xu Shaohua, who came to interview for the role of Xiaobailong, stood in front of him.
Creamy looking, slender and tall, playing "Little White Dragon" lacks masculinity, and playing "Tang Monk" may be just right.
The director asked him to try to change into a Tang monk costume, but the result was unexpected!
Compared with the previous one, it is more than all, and the temperament is elegant and dignified, which is a special taste.
However, Xu Shaohua is thin and lacks the beauty of abundance, and it seems that the desire of "monsters" to eat "Tang monk meat" cannot be hooked.
After he was confirmed to star, the director assigned him the first task - fattening.
Can't think of it!
In the play, Xuanzang Tang Monk, who was remembered and drooled by various monsters, actually ate and drank outside the play without taboo.
The crew opened a small stove for Xu Shaohua alone, added a lot of meat dishes, and lay on the bed when he was full, and raised until he was fat and thin.
The ending lived up to expectations, this "Tang Monk" is full of flesh, rounded and full appearance not only coveted by the "monsters", but also coveted by the audience in front of the screen.
Between filming, I also studied Buddhism and read the original book under the director's arrangement, so as to be more suitable for the role.
And Xu Shaohua's performance did not drop the chain, and after the TV series was broadcast, the audience did not even find that "Tang Monk" was transferred.
With the tacit understanding of several apprentices, several clips were filmed in a row where there was almost no NG, and after the CCTV test broadcast, the handsome appearance won the love of many audiences.
But just when everyone was happy, the crisis reappeared.
2.5 Yuan Dispute
The shooting originally went smoothly, but Xu Shaohua suddenly told the director that he was going to the exam.
After learning the news, Yang Jie was startled and thought that he was also going to leave halfway.
But the other party told her that it was just an exam, and when the time came, she would get the diploma directly, which gave her a reassuring pill.
What Yang Jie didn't expect was that Xu Shaohua played Lai Pi.
The crew hurried out to hurry out and wait for it to be in place, and after filming the scene in his daughter's country, Xu Shaohua put forward another "unreasonable request".
Xu Shaohua and Zhu Lin are highly compatible from appearance to performance, and the cooperation between the two can be called perfect.
Although the Tang monk is a monk, he has seven emotions and six desires like ordinary people, and it is inevitable that he will be moved in the face of the love of the king of his daughter's country.
When filming the ambiguous scene between the two, the director deliberately added a "human touch" to Tang Monk, which was more in line with reality and made the role more vivid and three-dimensional.
During the intimate contact, the Tang monk's face showed nervousness, sweat fell one by one, and his eyes kept evading.
It can be seen that there has been a vacillation in the heart, but this is short-lived, and after some thought, I still choose to follow the heart and devote myself to the Buddha.
Xu Shaohua's performance is fully revealed in this paragraph in China, interpreting the inner world of the characters extremely full, making people clap their hands, so that the scene with the king of his daughter's country has become a classic of "Journey to the West".
It was also after filming this scene that Xu Shaohua put forward the need to increase the salary.
He didn't understand why the other "senior brothers" were paid sixty yuan, but they only had fifty?
Yang Jie explained that the "Eight Jies" and "Monkey King" were difficult and harder, so she increased him to fifty-five.
But in the end, Xu Shaohua resolutely left the crew, announced that he was going to college, and many years later appeared on the show with the crew "Bajie", telling about the past.
In fact, after Xu Shaohua resigned, he still could not get rid of the "Tang Monk" filter, and the audience sent a large number of envelopes to the Shandong Art Institute in order to save it.
These letters came from all directions, representing the voice of the masses, and enthusiastic audiences of different ages were bitterly praising in their hearts, and Chengchi persuaded him to meet the crew.
Some people also reprimanded them for not taking care of the overall situation and chose to pick the picks halfway.
The Digest newspaper published an article by a journalist who had never met before, commenting and denouncing this move as a social phenomenon.
No matter what the outside world evaluates, Xu Shaohua cannot go back, because the "Tang Monk" has someone else.
By chance, director Yang Jie met a man named Chi Chongrui.
After a glance, no matter how unforgettable it was, she immediately stopped the other party, and her tone was a little disrespectful due to her excitement.
But Chi Chongrui didn't mind, slowly turned his head back and forth, his tone was slow, his expression was calm, and he was quite Buddha-like.
"That's him!"
After asking for consent, Yang Jie gave the green light all the way and invited Chi Chongrui to the crew in less than a week.
In fact, in life, he is the same as the "Tang monk", elegant and dignified, slow in nature, and slow to speak when angry, and Chi Chongrui is also the only "Tang monk" who has obtained the true scripture.
After the end of the TV series, it received a lot of praise from the audience, although there are regrets, but the ending is generally satisfactory, Chi Chongrui not only increased his popularity a lot, but also captured the heart of a rich woman!
The ten-year age difference did not stop the two from falling in love, and they entered the marriage hall without hesitation, accompanied each other, and spent the second half of their lives together.
Feelings have been the same for decades, envying others.
So, can Xu Shaohua, who is only one step away from success, regret it?
3. The heat is no longer there, and it is not what it used to be
After leaving the crew, Xu Shaohua returned to school to continue his studies and make up for the regret of failing the college entrance examination that year.
For him, the opportunity to become famous in the future is that there is only this one chance to go to school.
Unexpectedly, the ending is exactly the opposite.
After returning from school, the acting career did not develop smoothly because of his academic qualifications, and most of the participating roles received mediocre responses.
In "Liaozhai", "Xi Shi", "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and so on, but when Xu Shaohua is mentioned, people's first reaction is "Journey to the West".
After the age of 60, he gradually faded out of the screen and returned to the drama stage, and has participated in many drama productions, and has been working diligently for many years.
He became the vice president of Shandong Provincial Drama, engaged in more behind-the-scenes work, and contributed a lot to local dramas.
In 2003, his drama works "In the Name of Love" and "Sex and the City" won the Performance Award.
I don't know if it was a financial setback, Xu Shaohua, who is over sixty years old, often appears in major scenic spots to sing, and every time he appears, he wears a robe to try to evoke the memories of fans and friends.
It's just that the figure of the "Tang monk in his later years" is obviously out of shape, and his demeanor is not as good as that of that year.
Despite this, the popularity has only increased, some netizens posted photos of the scene, taking photos, videos, and shaking hands, so lively, the atmosphere is extremely hot, and even security guards are needed to maintain order.
Some people cheered warmly, and some people said that he was down, and he made money by playing the emotional card, and was complained that he was ugly, ridiculing "life is not easy, Tang monks sell art".
Some netizens revealed that Xu Shaohua's single appearance fee was as high as hundreds of thousands!
If this is the case, then it is not unusual, after all, people die for the death of wealth, who will not live with money?
Epilogue:
Decades have passed since the filming of "Journey to the West", and now several actors have long gone their separate ways, and their reputations are very different.
As for Xu Shaohua, he may have some regrets about giving up the opportunity to become famous in order to go to college, but he will not regret his original choice, and even if he does, he has already reconciled with himself.
