As soon as the 86 version of "Journey to the West" was broadcast, it quickly became a national-level topic.
In this drama, the role of Rulai Buddha has been loved by many audiences.
Playing this role is none other than Zhu Longguang from Xi'an, Shaanxi.
Since he starred in the Buddha, he has been regarded as a real Buddha by the audience.
Even since then, Zhu Longguang has formed an indissoluble bond with the Buddha.
Zhu Longguang once had an interesting incident when he was traveling in Thailand.
At that time, Zhu Longguang wanted to buy Thailand's famous amulet plaque.
But at this time, he was surprised to find that these Buddha cards were printed with the image of the Buddha he played.
This not only stunned Zhu Longguang, but also made us deeply feel the far-reaching influence of "Journey to the West" in Thailand.
As a Buddhist country, Thailand has a deep belief and respect for the image of the Buddha.
And the Buddha played by Zhu Longguang seems to have crossed the boundaries of the screen and become a holy icon in the hearts of the Thai people.
When "Journey to the West" was broadcast in Thailand, there were rumors that because of the influence of this drama, the crime rate in Thailand had dropped significantly.
This cultural phenomenon is truly breathtaking.
In fact, this has happened more than once.
Zhu Longguang had also received a letter from Nepal before.
When he opened the envelope, he was both surprised and amused by what he saw.
The envelope reads Sakyamuni Zhu Longguang (received).
And the content of the letter is even more laughable, the sender actually invited Zhu Longguang to return to his real hometown.
Only then did Zhu Longguang suddenly realize that the people of Nepal may associate him with the role of the Buddha played in "Journey to the West", and even mistakenly think that he is Shakyamuni.
Buddhism is not only a religion in Nepal, but also a way of life that permeates the local people.
What's more, as the founder of Buddhism, Shakyamuni is the pride of Nepalese.
Therefore, this is enough to see that the popularity of the classic series "Journey to the West" in Nepal is beyond imagination.
This is not only because of the Buddhist culture contained in it, but also because the image of the Buddha played by Zhu Longguang is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
In fact, in the streets and temples of Nepal, stills of Zhu Longguang can often be seen enshrined, as if it has become a spiritual symbol.
Because of this, Zhu Longguang was both happy and surprised by this letter.
After all, for an actor, this kind of cross-cultural recognition and respect is obviously a great honor.
Through this incident, it not only highlights the strong influence of "Journey to the West" as a cultural work, but also reflects the wonder and far-reaching cultural exchange.
Through his acting skills and interpretation of the role, Zhu Longguang unknowingly became a messenger of international culture.
His image transcends national borders and cultural limitations, becoming a bridge between different cultures.
As a Chinese actor, Zhu Longguang has won the respect and love of the people of Nepal, the birthplace of Buddhism, through his interpretation of a Buddhist mythological figure.
Although he is not the real Shakyamuni, in the hearts of the Nepalese people, he is the image of the Buddha they admire.
This respect and recognition is unmatched by any amount of money and honor.
For Zhu Longguang, this is not only an unexpected surprise, but also a valuable asset in his artistic career.
Fate with "Journey to the West".
When director Yang Jie was preparing for the filming of "Journey to the West", he was anxious because Rulai Buddha had been unable to find a suitable person.
She was very picky when it came to finding the right Buddha.
Because in Yang Jie's eyes, this role is not only a key figure in "Journey to the West", but also a cultural symbol.
She auditioned 16 actors, but she couldn't find the one who could perfectly interpret the Buddha.
At this critical moment, makeup artist Wang Xizhong gave Yang Jie a suggestion for Zhu Longguang to give it a try.
In this way, Zhu Longguang received an invitation to participate in "Journey to the West".
However, Zhu Longguang was a little hesitant to participate in "Journey to the West" at first, he was worried that he would be arranged to play demons and monsters.
But when he learned that it was the Buddha who auditioned, his mindset changed.
On the day of the audition, Zhu Longguang's performance stunned everyone present.
His solemn and compassionate countenance, the full appearance of the heavenly court, seemed to be the reincarnation of the Buddha.
Seeing this, Director Yang Jie chose him without hesitation.
In order to better play this role, Zhu Longguang also received strict training for half a year, learning Xi the manners and expressions of the Buddha.
He even went into the temple to observe the Buddha statues, learn the Xi Dharma and Buddhist scriptures, and strive to achieve both form and spirit.
Sure enough, the hard work paid off.
When "Journey to the West" officially started filming, Zhu Longguang's image of the Buddha made every member of the crew deeply shocked.
After the broadcast of "Journey to the West", the Buddha played by Zhu Longguang was also loved by the audience.
Although he only appeared four times in the play, these four appearances were enough to make his image deeply rooted in the hearts of hundreds of millions of viewers.
For Zhu Longguang, career is only a part of his life, and the relationship between him and his wife is also very enviable.
Happy family
Zhu Longguang met Wu Huifang in the year he joined the Engineer Corps Art Troupe, when Zhu Longguang was 22 years old and Wu Huifang was only 14 years old.
Since he met Wu Huifang, a seed of love has been planted in his heart.
But Wu Huifang was still an ignorant girl at that time, so Zhu Longguang chose to remain silent and hide that love in the bottom of his heart.
As time passed, Zhu Longguang and Wu Huifang met again during the filming of "Tunnel War".
At this time, Wu Huifang was already a slim girl, and the deep emotions in Zhu Longguang's heart gradually swelled.
In the daily relationship of the crew, Zhu Longguang often takes care of Wu Huifang carefully, and quietly shortens the distance between the two with frequent communication and meticulous care.
When "Tunnel War" was broadcast, it was deeply loved by the audience, and it also made Zhu Longguang a popular movie star.
In this context, Zhu Longguang finally mustered up the courage to express his love to Wu Huifang for many years.
When Wu Huifang first knew Zhu Longguang's intentions, she was very shy and hesitant.
But in the end, with Zhu Longguang's sincerity and persistence, Wu Huifang agreed to be with him.
Later, Zhu Longguang and Wu Huifang also entered the palace of marriage with the blessing of their parents.
After marriage, Zhu Longguang not only has an outstanding performance in the film and television industry, but also a responsible, careful and thoughtful husband when he returns home.
Zhu Longguang took care of almost all the housework, from cooking to washing dishes.
In order to accommodate Wu Huifang's dietary preferences, he even gave up his pasta Xi habit as a Xi'an native and chose to eat rice instead.
Zhu Longguang and Wu Huifang also had three daughters together after marriage, and their family life is also very harmonious and happy.
