Preface
Yang Jie, the director of the 86th version of "Journey to the West", can be called the best among strange women. She has created the classics among the classics with her superb directing skills, which makes people never get tired of watching them.
However, when many people first heard that she was a female director, they inevitably wondered, how could Sun Wukong and Zhu Bajie listen to her? But after learning about Yang Jie, people sighed at how passionate her bear-like figure was, and at the same time, she was also a strange woman because of her famous temper.
How did the director make his mark in the male-dominated film and television industry, and how did her unique charm conquer so many actors and create immortal classics?
What is unusual about Yang Jie makes people puzzled, and they want to get a glimpse of her uniqueness in creation. All this seems to be a fascinating gossip story, which people can't help but discuss hotly.
Yang Jie: Film life, the journey of love and perseverance
Yang Jie, what an amazing woman, her life experience is even more exciting than the movie. The whole story is like a blockbuster, and since she was born in 1929 in a revolutionary family in Henan, she is destined to undergo a different test in the three fields of family, literature and film.
When she was a child, she was full of literary dreams, but her father was strict, so she had to secretly read novels behind her back and started a journey of stealing incense.
When she grew up, Yang Jie joined Qingdao Radio Station and became an announcer. Although her voice is clear and moving, her life has not been smooth at all. In 1953, she became seriously ill and underwent an operation between life and death, and actually cut off 5 ribs, which was simply a big reversal in her life!
Then at the Central People's Radio, she was like the hero of a movie, swaying and rising in the waves of literature, movies and life. But these setbacks made her soul more tenacious, and she eventually became a high-profile female director.
Yang Jie's love life is also a big drama. The first marriage was with Zhang Yimou's teacher, but in the face of trivial family problems and busy careers, he finally chose to divorce in 1961.
Then she married Wang Chongqiu, a Xi photographer who was 14 years younger than her. This couple, who have a huge age difference, not only have to face the doubts of the outside world, but also compose a love tune that overcomes all obstacles together.
In 1982, Yang Jie, who was 53 years old, began to direct "Journey to the West", not only as a director, but also personally filmed. This TV series took 4 years, and she poured all her heart and soul into it. Although the credit was erased in the end because of the conflict between master and apprentice, "Journey to the West" still became a masterpiece, and Yang Jie's efforts were not in vain.
The twists and turns of her film career did not hinder the happiness of her love life. She and her husband Wang Chongqiu chose to live in seclusion and lived a plain and happy life. Wang Chongqiu has always been by her side, and the two have shared the burden of the family and spent their old age.
In 2017, Yang Jie died of illness at the age of 88. She has spent her life interpreting her love for literature and the film industry, and has become a miracle in the film and television industry. This seemingly quiet woman has lived a colorful life, loves literature, and movies are her second life. She is not afraid of hardships, and still chooses to move forward bravely in the face of failures and blows.
This is the story of Yang Jie, a woman who struggles in the three fields of family, literature and film. Her life is like a wonderful movie, and it takes courage and perseverance to create her own heirloom work.
Looking at her life, it is simply a big drama for the people who eat melons, allowing us to see her bumpy experience, touching love, and dedication to the film industry. I have to say that this aunt is really inspirational, life is not easy, but as long as we have dreams and are not afraid of difficulties, we can also live our own "heirlooms"!
A camera filmed "Journey to the West"
In 1982, the TV series "Journey to the West" was born, and a camera created a masterpiece! Photographer Wang Chongqiu recalled the difficult shooting conditions back then, but with enthusiasm for film and television, they polished it with their hearts and made a classic. Director Yang Jie and the whole team worked together to spare no effort to achieve the "great cause of learning from experience".
In recent years, people's admiration and admiration for this classic has been rising. Wang Chongqiu is not only the photographer of "Journey to the West", but also the life partner of director Yang Jie. After Yang Jie's death, he shared the unfinished story of this precious history through the WeChat public account "Journey to the West Cameraman Wang Chongqiu" to commemorate the love of his heart.
"Dare to Ask Where the Road Is - Our 'Journey to the West'" presents this precious history in a unique narrative way. The first part is narrated by Yang Jie herself in the first person, giving an unobstructed view of the filming process of "Journey to the West", while the second part is described in detail by Wang Chongqiu, and the various shooting details in "The Shooting Archives of the 1982 version of "Journey to the West" are breathtaking.
Back in the early 80s, TV series had limited stunts and was short of funds. Wang Chongqiu recalled the scene at that time, except for simple television means, the only thing they had was an imported ADO stunt machine.
How to show the gods and monsters on the screen soaring through the clouds and flying on the ground has become a tricky problem. In the recollection, Wang Chongqiu mentioned that the team gave full play to their respective advantages, borrowed from the film stunt methods, adopted the method of combining local and foreign, and the staff in various fields worked together to solve the stunt problem.
The filming conditions of the TV series were difficult and the funds were scarce. The painstakingly created stunt shots and character images were an almost impossible task at the time. However, director Yang Jie, cinematographer Wang Chongqiu and the entire team worked together to complete this difficult task.
However, creating a classic is not an easy task. Yang Jie was questioned and maliciously slandered during the filming process, and it may even make the TV series die. The most serious problem was the lack of funds, but she was not discouraged and decided to abandon the first five episodes and struggle to raise funds to continue filming. This difficult decision finally allowed "Journey to the West" to exceed her expectations and win a warm welcome from the audience.
After Yang Jie's death, Wang Chongqiu poured his thoughts about his beloved into writing and data collation. This couple, who have been together for half a century of ups and downs, misses every moment with Yang Jie, especially those warm details.
Yang Jieqiao hand-knitted sweater and gave it to Wang Chongqiu, and the warm feeling made him unforgettable for life. The relationship between the two has gone through ups and downs, but it has become more and more firm.
Wang Chongqiu expressed his admiration and distress for Yang Jie in his writing. Recalling the first time the two met, Yang Jie generously gave him a camera, showing her cheerful and open-minded personality. This is a deeply moving story.
The TV series "Journey to the West" has created a film and television legend, and Wang Chongqiu misses his lover through words and shares this precious history. His story is infused with a human touch, showing the tenacity and deep affection of the two filmmakers. After Yang Jie's death, Wang Chongqiu made a vow of "In the next life, I will still be a cameraman for you", expressing his reluctance and deep longing for his departed beloved.
Director Yang Jie: I'm looking for beautiful women all over the world, but you only stare at monkeys
In the eyes of a director who put a lot of effort into the filming of "Journey to the West", the most beautiful girl in the country has become her heart's desire. And this director is not a rash choice, she knows the standards, whether it is a fairy, a monster, or an ordinary person, every actress must show intoxicating beauty.
Let's talk about the role of Chang'e first. The director discovered Qiu Peining, a fairy who was successfully selected, and her fairy dance captivated the whole city. Chang'e's beauty is not child's play, even Marshal Tianpeng has a heart for her.
There is also a role, Xingxian, which is quite charming played by Wang Linghua. This outstanding graduate of the Shanghai Song and Dance Academy, with his dancing and singing, is definitely the most recognizable existence. As for the "Peacock Princess" Jin Qiaoqiao, her appearance can be called the pinnacle, although she was tempted by Tang Seng, but in the end she still presented a shocking dance that did not cause harm to Tang Seng.
For a change of taste, let's talk about the goblins. The concubine of the Bull Demon King, the jade-faced fox, is not a fuel-efficient lamp. Actor Zheng Yiping is a Kunqu opera performer, who became the focus as soon as she appeared, and her beauty is unforgettable. Yu Meng's interpretation of the "fox spirit" is even more breathtaking. She is not only dazzling in "Journey to the West", but also shows profound acting skills in other films, and is really a versatile actor.
When it comes to women in the world, Zhu Lin, the king of the daughter country, is a bright color. Her acting skills have to be admired, especially the scene of "watching the national treasure" with Tang Seng at night, which is simply heartwarming. However, she seems to have invested too much in drama, so that her "royal brother" has not been found.
Let's talk about Zhu Bajie's wife, Gao Cuilan. She is really a female man, who combines the gentleness and femininity of a man's wife. Wei Huili's acting skills are excellent, and she successfully played Zhu Bajie's wife, showing excellent plasticity.
In general, the success of "Journey to the West" is not only due to the outstanding performance of the four masters and apprentices, but also because of the excellent performance of each supporting role. Director Yang Jie's careful selection made every actress the center of attention.
This is not only a classic, but also a beautiful performing arts feast. She's gone to great lengths to find the most beautiful girl in the country, and you're just looking at the monkeys, she said. This sentence became the most interesting episode in the whole filming process. The director's intentions and the superb performances of the actresses together composed a wonderful song "Journey to the West".
