For only 5 yuan, he actually boycotted "Journey to the West", and directly rejected "China's No. 1 Beauty" in front of the people of the whole country. Such a man who is both "stingy" and "ignorant of good and bad" should not be liked by others according to common sense. However, he has won everyone's favor, and why is this? The reason for this is really curious, and it is worth exploring in depth.
As everyone knows, the "Tang Seng" in the old version of "Journey to the West" is actually co-starred by three people. They are Wang Yue, Xu Shaohua and Chi Chongrui. These three actors are dressed exactly the same in the play, and they are all white-looking. Because of this, when watching it as a child, many viewers found it difficult to distinguish the difference between these "Tang monks".
However, in the most classic plot of "Daughter Country", the one who was pursued by the great beauty "King of the Daughter Country" was the most beautiful of the three Tang monks - Xu Shaohua. His image and temperament fit perfectly with this role, and his interpretation is even more deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Xu Shaohua portrayed the role of "Tang Seng" vividly with his superb acting skills. He not only showed Tang Seng's compassion, kindness and integrity, but also showed his entanglement and helplessness in the face of the king of his daughter country to the fullest. made the audience extremely impressed by this plot.
To this day, when we look back on this classic, we are still impressed by Xu Shaohua's outstanding performance. The image of Tang Seng created by him has become a beautiful memory of a generation and is forever engraved in the hearts of the audience.
Back then, the sentence "I only want this life, I don't want the next life" played by Zhu Lin touched the heartstrings of many people. Such a stunning beauty, with that affectionate look at you and call "brother", I am afraid that even if the king of heaven comes, it will be a little difficult to resist.
It's a pity that the beauty is facing a Tang monk who is only interested in seeking the true scriptures, and in the end she can only regret missing it. Relying on his excellent acting skills and handsome appearance, Xu Shaohua became famous, after all, he was the only one who could refuse Zhu Lin. So what is the origin of this "Tang monk" Xu Shaohua, who has both talent and appearance?
One day in 1958, a literary family surnamed Xu in Qingdao, Shandong ushered in the white and chubby Xu Shaohua. When he was a child, he looked pleasant, and he giggled at the slightest tease. Under the full cultivation of his parents, he embarked on the road of literature and art. He studied dance and drama performance since he was a child, and starred in "The White-Haired Girl" at the age of 8. On the road of art, Xu Shaohua shined, talented and quite talented, and entered the Shandong Provincial Repertory Theatre at the age of 18 and became an official actor. In 1980, he participated in the movie "Jing Change", although he was the male lead, but because the film was not popular, it did not get the attention of the audience.
As a result, Xu Shaohua had to continue to move forward in the entertainment industry until he was 25 years old, and finally ushered in an opportunity.
At that time, Xu Shaohua heard that actors were being recruited on the set of "Journey to the West". He mustered up the courage to interview for the role of "White Dragon Horse", but director Yang Jie fell in love with him at a glance and wanted to invite him to play "Tang Seng".
It turned out that Wang Yue, who played the role of "Tang Seng" in the last time, was temporarily unable to participate in the performance due to various reasons, and the crew was in urgent need of actors. Director Yang Jie's eyes are like torches, and he thinks that Xu Shaohua has a handsome face and is very suitable for the role of Tang Seng. So Xu Shaohua temporarily rescued the scene and filmed 8 episodes of "Journey to the West", which is the plot of "The King of the Daughter Country".
Unexpectedly, after the TV series was broadcast, all the characters in it were extremely popular, and Xu Shaohua was also included. As for why Xu Shaohua only filmed 8 episodes of the TV series, this is also a point of controversy.
According to someone who broke the news, Xu Shaohua thought that his salary was only 60 yuan at that time, while the other leading actors had 70 yuan, which was really unfair. After that, he mentioned this matter to Director Yang Jie, and Yang Jie promised to give him a 5 yuan increase, but Xu Shaohua was still not satisfied, and finally left the crew.
Don't look at it, 5 bucks may not seem like much, but it was definitely not a small amount in the 80s. Although Xu Shaohua is a newcomer, he also has his own pursuits, and he doesn't want to be treated like mud.
After leaving the crew, Xu Shaohua held a luxurious wedding for his girlfriend Yang Kun, costing 1,000 yuan. It can be seen that he is not a stingy person, he just wants to give his wife a superior living environment. His decision may have sparked controversy at the time, but everyone has their own values and goals in life.
It can be seen from his dedication to the wedding that he has a certain pursuit of quality of life and is willing to pay for the important people. Perhaps it is this persistence and love of life that has allowed him to walk out of his own unique trajectory on the road of acting.
He resolutely rejected the affectionate "King of the Daughter Country" in the play, but he was lucky to have the "princess" he wanted to take care of all his life. In this way, he can also be regarded as a person of the most affectionate and sexual.
To this day, Xu Shaohua and his wife still care for and respect each other, and the two have walked hand in hand for more than 30 springs, summers, autumns and winters. With practical actions, they perfectly interpreted the most beautiful appearance of love for everyone, which made people envious, and also set a good example of marriage for everyone.
