Preface
If you want to ask what the biggest scandal and rumor in the entertainment industry is, it must be the imaginary relationship between Zhu Lin and Xu Shaohuazi.
Since the two starred in "Journey to the West", the audience has been talking about the relationship between the two.
In addition, neither of them responded harshly to this matter, so many viewers mistakenly thought that the two were really in a relationship.
But is that really the case? How are the two of them doing today?
Interesting facts about the casting of the king of the daughter country
On a night full of anticipation in 1982, a legend of Chinese TV dramas began.
"Journey to the West", a classic work loved by hundreds of millions of viewers, began its journey under the careful planning of director Yang Jie.
Director Yang Jie not only completed the establishment of the crew, the finalization of the script, the selection of attractions and the design of costumes and props, but also began the careful selection of the role actors.
Among the many roles, the casting of the king of the daughter country became a particular problem.
The image of this character in the original book is greed and lust, and in the TV series, director Yang Jie decided to give her a new image - a perfect woman who is ice clear and jade, affectionate to Tang Seng.
This reinterpretation of the role makes it all the more important to find the right actor.
During this period, director Yang Jie's decision-making shows her respect for art and her attention to detail.
She decided to shoot the other chapters first, giving herself more time to find the ideal king of her daughter.
On the eve of the filming of "Three Dozen White Bone Spirits", the addition of Peking Opera performance artist Yang Chunxia brought a new change to the crew.
Yang Chunxia not only accepted the role of the white bone spirit, but also put forward a condition - if she could play the role of the king of the daughter country, she would accept the challenge.
With her professionalism and talent, Yang Chunxia successfully interpreted the role of the white bone spirit, but director Yang Jie hesitated in her heart.
She thinks that the roles of the white bone spirit and the king of the daughter country are too different, and she is worried that playing two different roles by the same actor may affect the quality of the work.
Therefore, she decided to continue her search for the ideal king of the daughter country.
Time flies, after three years of searching and waiting, in the second half of 1985, director Yang Jie finally found the king of her daughter country - Zhu Lin.
Zhu Lin was a classmate of director Yang Jie's assistant Li Chengru at the time, working at Emei Film Studio.
When she learned of Director Yang Jie's invitation, Zhu Lin did not hesitate at all and immediately decided to join this great play.
At the same time, "Journey to the West" has been broadcast on CCTV during the Spring Festival in 1984, and has received excellent responses.
The addition of Zhu Lin not only added new vitality to the series, but also opened a new chapter in her personal career.
With her unique charm and talent, she perfectly interpreted the role of the king of the daughter country and left a deep impression on the audience.
Behind this story is a respect for art, an understanding of the characters, and a relentless pursuit of perfection.
Director Yang Jie's persistence and choice, and Zhu Lin's talent and determination, together weave the glory of the classic work "Journey to the West".
Everyone who works behind the scenes is an integral part of this legendary play.
From 1982 to 1985, from the conception of the characters to the selection of actors, all this shows the meticulousness and deep thinking of Chinese TV drama production, and also shows the unique charm and far-reaching influence of Chinese culture.
The story of Zhu Lin and Xu Shaohua
On the glamorous TV screen, Zhu Lin is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people with her image of a literary woman.
However, in real life, far from being a gentle image on the screen, she is a straightforward and fast-acting woman.
This kind of personality made her quickly establish good communication with director Yang Jie after joining the crew, so as to better understand and interpret the role.
During the filming of "Journey to the West", Zhu Lin's performance was full of professionalism and vitality.
The interaction between her and Xu Shaohua is even more striking.
It is said that during the filming, Xu Shaohua once sent herbal tea, which was playfully called "Royal Brother Brother" by Zhu Lin, and this scene seems to indicate a special chemistry between them.
In fact, this title comes from their roles in the play, and director Yang Jie's introduction deepens this impression.
The role of the king of Zhu Lin's daughter country is said to have been chosen because of a photograph, and she successfully interprets this role vividly.
The interaction between her and Xu Shaohua in the play is natural and real, especially in the scenes that require eye contact, the two often laugh because of the irrepressible laughter, which adds to the realism between their characters.
After the broadcast of "Journey to the West", Zhu Lin and Xu Shaohua received widespread attention for their wonderful performances in the play.
Soon, rumors about the scandal between them began to circulate in the media and among the public.
It is rumored that Zhu Lin divorced her husband after filming "Journey to the West" because she fell in love with Xu Shaohua.
Although this claim is widely circulated among audiences, it actually stems more from the audience's deep emotional investment in the characters in the show.
In 2004, the "Art Life" program team produced a special episode of "Journey to the West Reunion", and Zhu Lin and other actors reunited.
In the show, Zhu Lin mentioned her relationship with Xu Shaohua in the play, which once again sparked speculation about their relationship with the outside world.
In the face of these speculations, Zhu Lin chose to remain silent, saying that her life is simple and low-key, and she does not want to get too involved in unnecessary speculation and discussion.
Zhu Lin's story is a story about the screen and reality, image and essence, legend and truth.
On the screen, she may be the tender young man in the hearts of the audience, but in real life, she is a strong and independent woman, and in the face of the ups and downs of life, she chooses to deal with and respond in her own way.
Her experience tells us that the lives of public figures are often much more complex than what we see, and that real life is always richer and more three-dimensional than the plot on the screen.
Through Zhu Lin's story, we get a glimpse of a real, flesh-and-blood character and the philosophy behind her life.
The innocence of the two
On the TV screen, Zhu Lin has left a deep impression with her superb acting skills and unique charm, but her private life has always been the focus of media and public attention.
Once, for a time, the media misled the public, claiming that Zhu Lin had a 20-year affection for Xu Shaohua and suggesting that she was trying to intervene in his family.
This illusion undoubtedly brought a lot of trouble to Zhu Lin.
Zhu Lin at first struggled to clear up these rumors, emphasizing that her emotions were limited to cherishing and being grateful for the character.
In her opinion, these roles have not only shaped her acting career, but also been an integral part of her artistic path.
However, with the public's frenzy of gossip news, her clarification seems inadequate.
As time passed, Zhu Lin chose not to react to these groundless speculations anymore, but turned her attention to her life and career.
In fact, as early as 1982, Zhu Lin married a soldier, and her husband has always loved her very much.
In the face of all kinds of speculation and gossip from the outside world, her husband has always stood firmly on her side.
Their married life is ordinary and happy, and they have survived decades of ups and downs together.
This kind of stability and support is undoubtedly the most valuable comfort in Zhu Lin's acting career.
As time passed, Zhu Lin gradually felt the impetuousness and change of the film and television industry, which made her feel disappointed.
In 2013, she decided to gradually withdraw from the entertainment industry and was no longer active in the public eye.
Although she faded out of the entertainment industry, she did not give up her love for art.
In January 2020, she recited poems in Jilin's "Poetic China Enters Jilin" event, showing her dignified elegance and artistic temperament.
Zhu Lin and her husband have chosen the lifestyle of a Dink family, they have no children, but this does not affect their quality of life and happiness.
And Zhu Lin's own nephew seems to have inherited the excellent appearance genes of the Zhu family, and he may shine in the film and television industry in the future, continuing the family's inheritance in the field of art.
In "Journey to the West", Zhu Lin played the king of the daughter country who failed to achieve a positive result with Tang Seng, and this role deeply affected the audience.
However, in real life, Zhu Lin found her true love and experienced a happy married life with her partner.
Their story, although it does not have the twists and turns and drama on the screen, is a beautiful love in the ordinary.
Zhu Lin's life story reminds us that real life is far richer and more colorful than the stories on screen.
She used her life to prove that no matter what the outside world says and speculates, a person's happiness and worth are ultimately defined by themselves.
Zhu Lin's story is a revelation to everyone who pursues their true self behind the glamour.
