Friends of the melon eating family, today the editor will give you an absolute exclusive gossip, so that you can enjoy watching it! We want to talk about the well-known "Journey to the West" back then. Do you know that there is a Liu Dagang in the 82 version of "Journey to the West"? That's right, it is the big brother who rejected the sand monk of the year, but turned over in the sequel. Today, we will reveal the legendary experience of Liu Dagang's refusal.
Back to the time of the 82nd version of "Journey to the West", Liu Dagang originally had the opportunity to join this big drama. But heck, things have taken a big turn, listen to me slowly. At the beginning, Liu Da had just entered the Peking Opera Company of China, and his career was steadily rising, and his future was immeasurable. However, the eldest brother politely declined the invitation of the crew of "Journey to the West" because of his career prospects and time problems, and missed an opportunity to become famous.
Time came to 1998, and the filming of the sequel began. Director Yang Jie urgently needed to find an actor who could play Sha Seng well, so he called Liu Dagang in person. This phone call may have changed Liu Dagang's life. Ma Dehua also played a role in connecting the past and the next, he strongly recommended Liu Dagang to the director, and the fate and tacit understanding between the two old friends have also become a non-negligible part of this story.
When Liu Dagang received the invitation, he was very happy and felt that it might be a fairy character. But when he learned that he was going to shoot in Wuyi Mountain for three months, his heart suddenly beat a drum. Liu Dagang, who had just stepped into the Peking Opera Company, was a little hesitant to leave for so long and worry that it would be detrimental to his career. In the end, he gave up this opportunity to enter the crew of "Journey to the West", which can be regarded as a tortuous fate.
During the filming of the sequel, director Yang Jie found Liu Dagang again. This time, he happily agreed to the invitation to audition. Liu Dagang has always thought that he might try some immortal role, but when he arrived at the crew, he found that he was going to try Sha Seng. Don't panic, in the end, his fairy dream came true.
Director Yang Jie fell in love at first sight and said directly: "Okay, okay, it's you." Liu Dagang gladly accepted the role of Sha Seng and embarked on the road of filming.
However, the show isn't over yet. In the evening, Liu Dagang received a call from director Yang Jie, and there was a "bad news": It's okay to play a sand monk, but don't mention the salary. Yes, Director Yang Jie threw out this condition with limited funds. And Liu Dagang generously accepted this unpaid performance task. This can be regarded as an artist's selfless dedication to art.
The story finally ushered in the climax, and Liu Dagang became the sand monk in the sequel to "Journey to the West", presenting us with a classic performance. This tortuous experience has taught us that life is full of uncertainties, and each choice may lead us to a different destiny. Although Liu Dagang missed the first version, he seized the second chance and successfully played the sand monk in the sequel.
In the art world of director Yang Jie, the actors' efforts far exceed the salary, and they are willing to give up everything for the truth of the characters and the perfection of the plot, which is one of the reasons why "Journey to the West" has become a classic. In the entertainment industry, only with such directors and actors can we create good dramas that are deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
Finally, friends who eat melons, what do you think of Liu Dagang's role as the sand monk? Do you think this story is full of drama and legend? No matter what, I hope this story can bring you some thinking and inspiration, on the road of life, no matter what you encounter, you must move forward bravely, seize every opportunity, and create your own wonderful.
