The old stars in the entertainment industry, some of the classic works they starred in, are simply supergods, such as the role player Chen Xiaoxu of Lin Daiyu in the old version of Dream of Red Mansions, and later the state of the whole person changed because of the role.
Some actors are too deep in the play, which will let the role affect the actor in turn, Daiyu's actor Chen Xiaoxu may be considered a tragedy, but the actor Zhu Longguang, who played the Buddha in the 86 version of Journey to the West, was lucky.
The more famous in the 86 version of Journey to the West, of course, are the Tang monks and apprentices, in addition to these actors, Zhu Longguang, who plays the Buddha, is not too popular, unlike the master and apprentice who chose to pick up activities everywhere after they became popular, and now in front of the audience.
Zhu Longguang is not like these people, he still lives his life quietly, but his peaceful days can always be broken by some strange things.
For example, after playing this role, Zhu Longguang, who played the Buddha, once received an invitation, the source of this invitation was Nepal, and the actor himself was still very puzzled at that time, he himself did not have any direct connection with Nepal, why would a country send an invitation to himself?
He also forwarded the invitation through someone from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, which could startle Zhu Longguang at that time, and the recipient of the letter was Sakyamuni Zhu Longguang, although Zhu Longguang played the role of the Buddha, but he never dared to link his name with the Buddha.
On the Nepalese side, because the actor's acting skills are so good, that many viewers have his photos in their homes, and when the photos of the Buddha are used, Nepal, which thinks that Zhu Longguang is the Buddha himself, wants to invite Zhu Longguang to their country.
Because in the legend, the Buddha is also the birthplace of Shakyamuni, in Nepal, the Nepalese side wants Zhu Longguang to live in their country, although it is known that there is no malice in such behavior on the Nepalese side, but Zhu Longguang is a native Chinese after all, only. However, after acting in a play, he did not regard his arrogance as a Buddha.
And Zhu Longguang didn't want to leave his motherland, so he refused the invitation, although Zhu Longguang himself was very humble and didn't hang his name with the Buddha, but when he played the Buddha, he also encountered a lot of strange things.
Not only did he receive an invitation from Nepal, but Zhu Longguang went to other countries, for example, when he traveled to Thailand, he saw it on the streets and alleys, and some people sold Buddhist supplies with their own images, which made Zhu Longguang cry and laugh, and went around several countries, but he didn't expect that his connection with the Buddha was so deep.
Zhu Longguang is reluctant to publicize that he has played the Buddha, and the actor who plays Guanyin in the same crew as him has similar ideas to him, and during the filming, Zhu Longguang, who played the Buddha, and the actor who played Guanyin both encountered strange weather.
When the crew was filming, they had encountered a long drought or frequent rain in the filming location, in addition to filming some special scenes, with the photography technology at the time, if they encountered this kind of weather, they could only extend the shooting time all the time.
After filming Journey to the West, Zhu Longguang continued to act in other crews, and once ran to Hubei, where he happened to encounter a local drought situation, but he didn't expect that as soon as he arrived here for filming, the drought situation eased and the weather changed and began to rain, and after the crew left, the rain stopped.
Guanyin actor is the opposite of Zhu Longguang, when he encountered rainy weather, he was jokingly bowed by the crew, but the weather outside suddenly turned clear.
Both of them don't believe in strange powers, but after playing some special roles, some more peculiar points did happen to the two of them, and this situation actually happened to Mr. You Benchang, who played Jigong.
At that time, the crew also encountered a rainy day, in order to shoot a special scene, the crew wanted to shoot a sunny scene after the rainy day, but I didn't expect Jigong to appear in the plot at one time, at that time, many people said that the sudden change in weather was influenced by You Benchang, after all, You Benchang has indeed been related to Buddhism since childhood.
The same role, Zhu Longguang of the Buddha seems to have changed his temperament after playing the role, Zhu Longguang himself looks thick eyebrows and big eyes are very kind, his face is relatively round, his forehead is broad, and his ears are also very big.
Even if he doesn't wear makeup, this old man looks relatively close, plus the crew specially designed makeup for him at that time, put on fake ears for him, polished the details, and then put a cinnabar mole on the actor's makeup, and the actor looked solemn.
According to the actors' own explanations, when filming Journey to the West, they would go to the real Buddhist temple with the crew to film.
After entering the Buddhist temple, he had already put on his makeup, and Zhu Longguang, who was about to be filmed, received many people to bow down, which shows that the actor's makeup and his own temperament at that time were really very similar to the Buddha, so that the audience had already mistaken the actor for a true god during the filming.
According to the actor's own confession in the documentary, at that time, the actor was worshiped by many viewers who did not know the truth, and was also offered dried fruits, and the actor was flattered.
The number of times such a situation occurs in the Journey to the West crew is not low, and in follow-up interviews, Zhu Longguang, the actor of the Buddha, often tells these things to others.
However, the actor himself shared these stories, just as an interesting story, to tell others, and did not excessively promote or market his own personality, compared to the six-year-old children who went to all parts of the country to promote their acting skills, Zhu Longguang, who played the Buddha, was obviously more stable, he didn't show it everywhere, he just told these things as stories.
Although these stories sound like chatter, for many viewers who like Journey to the West, these stories are like particularly interesting tidbits, and many people like to listen to them.
There are also some more naughty netizens who got stuck in the comment area and began to discuss that if the actor who plays Guanyin and the actor who plays the Buddha get together with the weather, wouldn't it be half yin and half yang.
Although it is a joke, ordinary people have no ability to change the weather, but these two actors, including technicians, some interesting stories they caused can indeed make people talk about it, after all, actors have to act like anything.
