Who would have thought that the 86 version of Journey to the West directly stereotyped Chinese immortals, and since its launch, Journey to the West has unified the image of immortals and monsters in the minds of Chinese people around the world.
Journey to the West makes people feel that all the characters are very consistent, fairies are like this, and monsters are like this. This drama has fixed many images rigidly, and there are endless remakes in the future, but the classics are difficult to surpass. Who would have thought that Director Yang Jie during filming was forced to be in a hurry, and directly invited a group of immortals to the sky to act.
Many actors are looking for them while filming, and the crew casts a wide net every time they go to a filming location, looking for actors who match the image of the characters in the plot. After the actors are in place, they are immediately trained in the pace and posture of the opera.
But most of the actors have opera skills, and they seem to be comfortable and familiar with playing immortals.
Look at the few steps of Zhenyuan Daxian, he is calm and steady, calm and relaxed!
A classic is a classic, and there is no transcendent after that. Because the characters in the play are too deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, the characters in the play also suffer all kinds of funny and embarrassing things in real life.
Teacher Liu Jiang, who plays the role of Lord Yan, did not dare to appear on the CCTV Spring Festival Gala because of his daunting image, on the grounds that Lord Yan was not suitable for the New Year.
The Guanyin Bodhisattva played by Teacher Zuo Daxue is so good, as if the Guanyin Bodhisattva is like that. She was enshrined in her portrait at home by countless people.
Zhu Longguang, who played the role of the Buddha, went to the temple to travel and wanted to buy a Buddha card to commemorate, but found that the Buddha card was himself.
The funniest thing is that the actor Wang Weiguo, who played the Jade Emperor, returned to his hometown to worship his ancestors, and the paper money he burned was printed with his own portrait, and he was angry when he thought about the picture. In this way, the Jade Emperor loses the most, because now even foreigners burn Chinese dark coins.
I have to admire those makeup artists, their imagination is too rich! This drama should be most grateful to the famous makeup master Wang Xizhong.
The shapes of these fairies and monsters are all presented to everyone by Old Man Wang. Every character in it is vivid, the characters are smart and full, and after reading Journey to the West, we are convinced that the gods and monsters originally looked like this.
