Preface
As the saying goes, when the fake is true, the truth is also false, for an actor, being able to play a role in a play to the point where the audience is difficult to distinguish between the real and the fake, I am afraid it is the highest level.
In the 86 version of "Journey to the West", although Zhu Guanglong played the Buddha in only 4 scenes, it became popular all over the world and was regarded as a true Buddha by many audiences at home and abroad.
Zhu Guanglong played the Buddha "alive".
Among so many versions of "Journey to the West", the most popular and classic is 86 years, when the fire was purple, and every family, men, women and children watched in front of the TV every day.
And the actors in it also conquered everyone with their most superb acting skills.
In addition to the 4 masters and apprentices who are the protagonists, some other actors who do not have many roles also left a deep impression on everyone, including Zhu Guanglong, who played the role of the Buddha.
Many people commented on the Buddha he played: I have seen so many film and television works and seen so many artists, but only Zhu Guanglong has brought the Buddha in his heart to life!
Because the Buddha he plays is too realistic, and the glorious image makes it difficult to distinguish the real from the fake, so that after the filming of "Journey to the West", people often can't help but kneel down to Zhu Guanglong as they meet him.
Zhu Guanglong once told such an experience, when he went to the Great Buddha Treasure Hall, when an old man came to see him, he was instantly stunned, knelt down directly in front of Zhu Guanglong, and kept chanting Amitabha Buddha in his mouth, and all the dried fruit tributes he brought were all placed at Zhu Guanglong's feet.
From "Tunnel War" to "Journey to the West"
Zhu Guanglong was born in Xi'an, Shaanxi Province in 1939, and he has a soft spot for acting since he was a child.
Later, he followed his original intention and applied for the art performance department of Lanzhou University, where he systematically learned the knowledge and skills of performance, which laid a solid foundation for his future development.
As he continues to grow older, his appearance becomes more and more handsome and tough, and the teachers and classmates at the school feel that he will definitely be able to make a big difference in the entertainment industry in the future.
However, at this time, he suffered from a strange illness and took a leave of absence, and when he returned home, he was bored and did not know what his future holds.
It was at this time that he learned from a friend that a new play was in the works and was being filmed locally.
At that time, a friend encouraged Zhu Guanglong to give it a try, and there was nothing to lose if he didn't succeed, so Zhu Guanglong half-pushed and half-pushed, and didn't have much hope for the interview.
What he didn't expect was that he succeeded in the interview at once, and he won an important position as the leading actor, which made him a little popular and more confident in filming.
After that, Zhu Guanglong has been working diligently in his acting career, and finally he ushered in the first highlight moment of his acting career.
In 1964, he was selected as the leading actor in "Tunnel War", when this movie can be said to be famous all over the world, Zhu Guanglong became popular all over the country with this, and everyone can shout his name in the play when they see him.
Zhu Guanglong is low-key and likes to speak with strength, and then he has filmed many excellent works one after another, and in 1980, he was awarded the national first-class actor.
He thought that his acting career would be dull, after all, he was gradually getting older, but he didn't expect that there was a new challenge waiting for him, that is, the role of the Buddha in "Journey to the West".
At that time, the director team of "Journey to the West" was anxious for this role, and most of the other roles had already been decided, but the Buddha could not find a suitable person to play it.
This character needs to make people feel at a glance, full of Buddha nature and divinity, and this character image does not have many lines and no special actions, as soon as he opens his mouth, he has to show the demeanor of the ancestor of ten thousand Buddhas, which ordinary people can't do at all.
At this time, a staff member in the crew recommended Zhu Guanglong.
At the strong invitation of the crew, Zhu Guanglong decided to challenge the role of a fairy who had never tried it.
Unexpectedly, as soon as the makeup was painted and the clothes were put on, all the staff were speechless in an instant, and even the director Yang Jie was stunned, and for a while he couldn't tell whether this was a real or fake Buddha.
Zhu Guanglong has always played a revolutionary hero before, the first time he came into contact with this kind of role, he had little experience, at that time, as soon as he had time, he went to the major temples to observe the expressions and movements of the Buddha and each Buddha statue, just to create a perfect role.
Received a letter from Nepal
The explosion of "Journey to the West" made Zhu Guanglong, the actor of the Buddha, once again usher in the peak moment of his acting career, and major media have come to the door, and there are not a few fans who want to see the true face of the Buddha.
However, what surprised Zhu Guanglong the most was that he actually received a letter from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
As an actor, how could Zhu Guanglong be connected with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, when he opened it, he suddenly realized.
This letter turned out to be from distant Nepal, and they wanted to invite Zhu Guanglong to return to their "real hometown", that is, Nepal.
It turned out that "Journey to the West" at that time had already become popular abroad, and in Nepal and some other neighboring countries, this TV series was supported by a large number of Buddhist believers.
After they noticed that Zhu Guanglong, the actor of the Buddha in "Journey to the West", they were all convinced and firmly believed that the true Buddha had come.
The Buddhist believers in Nepal could no longer contain their excitement, after all, the Buddha was born in Nepal.
The voice in Nepal is becoming more and more boiling, and everyone hopes that Zhu Guanglong, the Buddha, can return to Nepal, or return to his hometown to have a look.
In addition to Nepal, there are many other countries that believe in Buddhism, and Zhu Guanglong is regarded as the true Buddha.
Once when he traveled to Thailand, he wanted to buy some special products in the local area and go home, so he picked up a Buddhist plaque at a roadside stall and looked at it, but he didn't expect to see that it was his own Buddha appearance.
In fact, he had the same experience, as well as Teacher Zuo Dajue, who played Guanyin Bodhisattva at that time, and she often encountered similar things, all because they played these unreachable fairy characters too seriously.
After playing the Buddha, I often encountered the Buddha's apparition
Zhu Guanglong and Teacher Zuo Dajue, after playing the Buddha and Guanyin Bodhisattva, many strange things have happened to them, and even they feel a little incredible.
There are many things that happen with a small chance, but for both of them, it was like a god of luck descending on them.
I still remember that once when Zhu Guanglong was filming the Buddha, he needed to go to Huanggang, and for a long time, the local drought occurred, and everyone was worried to death.
Unexpectedly, as soon as Zhu Guanglong came over, it rained heavily in an instant.
The filming of the scene of the Buddha was completed, and as soon as the crew left, the rain ended, and everyone felt that it was amazing.
And Mr. Zuo Dajun also said that he had a strange thing when filming "Journey to the West", when others were filming, it kept raining lightly, which especially delayed the progress of filming.
But as soon as Guanyin Bodhisattva appeared, the dark clouds immediately dispersed, and a big sun appeared in an instant. Actually, these things sound quite mysterious, but they have happened.
epilogue
