Time flies, time flies, and in a blink of an eye, it has been nearly 40 years since the successful conclusion of the 86th version of the TV series "Journey to the West", which amazed the world. This cross-generational masterpiece of art is well-known and famous, and is still warmly admired and deeply remembered by countless film and television lovers to this day.
When we once again cast our perspective on this masterpiece, we can't help but recall its magnificent filming process, especially the unique charm and far-reaching influence of the "Tang Seng" character, and the interesting allusions and twists and turns behind it are even more breathtaking.
Initially, Wang Yue, who was personable and elegant, was recognized by the director and was honored to serve as the first batch of performance tasks in the series. However, what is unexpected is that he chose to leave in the middle of the chase for a higher salary, which undoubtedly brought huge trouble to the crew.
Subsequently, the talented Xu Shaohua took over this important responsibility, and he successfully performed the classic clip "Daughter Country" in the play with his chic and handsome image, which won warm applause from the audience and the director.
Due to the shackles of various life chores, he has also left and returned to the crew many times, which undoubtedly added a lot of difficulties to the entire filming process.
In the end, a little-known rookie actor Chi Chongrui stepped forward when the crew was facing difficulties, and with his wholehearted performance, he successfully created a glorious image of Tang Seng and drew a perfect end to this masterpiece.
The fates of these three actors are different, what ups and downs have they all experienced, and what are the lesser-known stories behind them? Let's look back at those legendary years and uncover those long-hidden secrets.
Wang Yue was the first actor to play the role of Tang Seng. He was young and handsome, and he should have been the best candidate in the director's mind, but he left the crew in embarrassment in order to pursue a higher salary.
Since then, Wang Yue's acting career has fallen into a trough, and he can only choose to become a teacher at the Academy of Chinese Opera, dedicated to imparting skills and cultivating talents.
Replacing Wang Yue as Tang Seng is Xu Shaohua. This dashing and handsome young actor has superb acting skills, and he successfully performed the classic "Daughter Country" scene in the play, which won high praise from the director.
Unfortunately, Xu Shaohua has left and returned to the crew many times due to academic and other reasons, which has undoubtedly brought a lot of inconvenience to the filming work According to rumors, he tried to obtain a higher salary by "sitting on the ground", although this matter has not been confirmed, but it has undoubtedly had a certain degree of negative impact on his reputation Since then, Xu Shaohua's career development path has not been smooth, and the response to most of his works is relatively flat.
Under Mr. Chi Chongrui's superb performance, the problem of Tang Seng's character selection that had plagued us for months was finally satisfactorily solved! He devoted himself to the shaping of the role, and successfully made the image of Tang Seng in the original work vivid, worthy of the most outstanding and respectable "Tang Seng" in the hearts of the audience!
After leaving the entertainment industry, all kinds of speculations and rumors about Mr. Chi Chongrui's married life spread, and some people accused him of marrying out of financial considerations, but whether there was true love between the two of them?
Looking back at that era, due to the limitations of the country's economic strength, film and television production funds were seriously insufficient, and the filming environment of the 86 version of "Journey to the West" can be described as extremely difficult. In the face of such a predicament, director Yang Jie resolutely chose to persevere, she hoped to create an image of "Tang Seng" that is completely different from the original work, showing the complex humanity and perseverance of this monk in his heart.
Mr. Wang Yue, a young actor with an extraordinary temperament, was once the best candidate for "Tang Seng" in our minds. According to the director's instructions, Mr. Wang Yue even went to the temple to experience the life of a monk in person, in order to better understand and interpret this role.
Just after completing the filming of several important scenes in the play, Mr. Wang Yue suddenly announced his withdrawal from the crew, and the reason given was that he accepted another job offer with a better salary.
This kind of resolute departure from the team and the pursuit of personal interests undoubtedly made the director deeply sad.
Having lost the original "Tang Seng" candidate, Director Yang Jie was very depressed, but she did not give up because of this. By chance, she found a handsome and dashing young actor - Xu Shaohua, so she decided to include him in the crew.
As expected, Mr. Xu Shaohua's excellent acting skills are amazing, and he successfully performed the classic "daughter country" scene in the play, which won high praise from the director.
However, things are not always smooth sailing, and Mr. Xu Shaohua also began to face various "life difficulties". Due to academic and other reasons, he had to leave the crew temporarily many times, and even suffered criticism and warnings at school for a time.
The most regrettable thing is that there were rumors that Mr. Xu Shaohua "sat on the ground" to get a higher salary, and although these rumors were not confirmed in the end, they undoubtedly caused great damage to his reputation.
Just when the crew was in a dilemma, a little-known new actor broke out of the cocoon and came elegantly. When Director Yang Jie met Chi Chongrui for the first time, he was deeply touched by this man's otherworldly and decent temperament.
More importantly, Chi Chongrui is keen to pursue excellence in his artistic journey, accept various challenges, and move forward fearlessly.
The filming environment is extremely simple, the food conditions are relatively primitive, and sometimes one actor has to take on multiple roles to save costs. However, Chi Chongrui never had any complaints about this, and devoted himself to the shaping of each role.
Even for an insignificant role like "Well Dragon King", he did his best and won unanimous praise from all the crew members.
What is even more touching is that Chi Chongrui successfully interpreted the image of "Tang Seng" in the original work, fully demonstrating his firm pursuit of ideals and his broad-mindedness.
He sometimes showed a humble and gentle side, and sometimes he was resolute and resolute, and he was very intelligent, which shocked the audience.
When the last shot was successfully completed, Director Yang Jie couldn't help but burst into tears, and after a lot of hardships, she finally found the "Tang Seng" in her heart. Since then, Chi Chongrui has been active on the screen as a "Tang monk" and has become a classic representative of this role, adding a unique charm to this masterpiece.
Time flies, and decades have passed since the filming of the crew of "Journey to the West". Now, Chi Chongrui has tied the knot with the million-dollar female entrepreneur, is it a sincere love between them, or an entanglement of interests and a transaction of power and money? For these questions involving money, power and desire, perhaps a definite answer can never be found.
Although the filming process of the 86 version of "Journey to the West" is full of twists and turns and legends, it finally presents a classic film and television masterpiece to the world. This work contains many precious spirits such as the persistent pursuit of ideals, the firm adherence to faith, and the courage to face hardships and hardships.
It is these incomparably precious humanistic spirits that make "Journey to the West" an eternal cultural treasure, which travels through time and space and lasts for a long time.
