In my lifetime, I am happy to meet you, please click "Follow", thank you for your support.
Time flies like a white horse, and 38 years have passed in the blink of an eye. The six-year-old boy who became famous all over the world for playing the Monkey King in the TV series has now entered his prime. On the childish and striking face of the past, the marks of time have been deeply imprinted.
Today, his speech and demeanor are very different from those of the past, which makes people lament the impermanence of the world. Recalling those glorious years, the six-year-old boy successfully created the image of Sun Wukong's naughty and naughty and energetic with his unique acting skills, which is still fresh in people's memories.
He is able to change freely, sometimes as a lemur and is athletic, and sometimes as an old monkey, cunning and alert.
His big blazing eyes, straight nose bridge, and casual naughty words all make people feel the naughty personality charm of Sun Wukong's nature.
In contrast, today's six-year-old boy shows a completely different appearance, he is too conceited about the role of the Monkey King he has created, and even calls himself the "Monkey King", thinking that he is the best interpreter of the Monkey King.
At the memorial service of director Yang Jie, Liu Xiaolingtong vigorously promoted his new work "New Journey to the West" regardless of the occasion, which is undoubtedly a great disrespect to the deceased and has attracted widespread attention and condemnation from all walks of life.
What's even more shocking is that Liu Xiaolingtong not only over-touted his Monkey King role, but also publicly belittled the Monkey King image of other actors.
He arrogantly and rudely declared that no one but himself could interpret Sun Wukong so vividly. He scoffed at the image of the Monkey King created by other actors, believing that they were nothing more than the courage of a puppet and could not be compared with himself.
This attitude of being aloof and empty-eyed has undoubtedly aroused strong dissatisfaction and anger among the audience.
However, 38 years ago, in 1986, when the 86th version of the classic costume mythological drama "Journey to the West" debuted on the TV screen, the impression left by the six-year-old child on the audience was a different scene.
At that time, he was talented and fearless, and won unanimous praise from audiences across the country for his outstanding performances.
In 1986, as soon as the 86 version of "Journey to the West" was broadcast, it immediately caused a sensational response. This award-winning classic not only perfectly presents the essence of Wu Chengen's original book, but also skillfully integrates many modern elements to make the whole storyline vivid and engaging.
In this popular drama, we must admit that the role of Monkey King carefully created by the outstanding artist Liu Xiaolingtong is undoubtedly the most eye-catching key to the whole work!
His perfect acting skills and unmistakable interpretation of the role are enough to arouse the audience's fascinated love. Whether it is every delicate action, or every glance of deep and moving eyes, it makes people feel as if they are in it and feel the unique world of Monkey King.
The Monkey King he shows has both an unruly side and a loyal protector side; he sometimes exudes a naughty and lovely childishness, and sometimes reveals sophisticated and steady wisdom.
Such a three-dimensional and rich character creation makes people both admire and feel intimate.
Liu Xiaolingtong's impeccable acting skills won unanimous praise from the audience, making him famous overnight and becoming a household name. The image of the Monkey King created by him has become a classic in the history of Chinese TV dramas, and has been imitated and borrowed by countless latecomers, which can be called unique in the world.
What's even more rare is that the image of the Monkey King of the six-year-old child has become a shining business card to promote Chinese culture, and has won wide reputation and praise overseas.
In the face of such a brilliant achievement, it is no wonder that the six-year-old child has the idea of self-promotion. However, in fact, he was able to obtain the role of Monkey King, not by chance, let alone by luck, but the inevitable result of his deserved name and strength.
Let's go back to the casting process of the 1986 version of "Journey to the West".
If we delve into the process of Liu Xiaolingtong's final victory in the role of Monkey King, we will find that there is a gripping coincidence.
At that time, Yang Jie, the director of the 86 version of "Journey to the West", was once extremely troubled by the inability to find a suitable Monkey King actor. Her initial candidate was Li Wanchun, an actor with excellent martial arts skills and outstanding performance.
Unfortunately, Li Wanchun's style was questioned by Wang Fuxiang, the director of CCTV at the time, who thought that it was too "close to the Japanese monkey", which was different from the image of the monkey in traditional Chinese culture, so he asked Yang Jie to change the actor.
Yang Jie was in a dilemma, on the one hand, she admired Li Wanchun's excellent acting skills, and on the other hand, she had to respect the opinions of her superiors.
After repeated considerations, she finally decided to give up Li Wanchun and look for a suitable candidate again.
When Yang Jie was in a predicament, miraculously, the Peking Opera master Liulingtong appeared in front of her at the right time. The illustrious artist highly recommended her son, the 21-year-old Liuxiaolingtong, who was hailed as the best candidate for the Monkey King.
Like a prototype, the six-year-old boy proudly told Yang Jie that his son not only inherited his own physical characteristics, but also was a talented Peking Opera performance artist, especially in creating the role of Monkey King.
As expected, at the audition scene, the young six-year-old boy deeply moved the directors and judges present with his confident and calm temperament, unpretentious but rich connotations, and the smart beauty revealed in his acting skills.
They unanimously agreed that Liu Xiaolingtong not only has outstanding talent, but also has the endless potential to become a generation of grandmasters, and is definitely worthy of playing the role of Monkey King.
After rounds of fierce competition, Liu Xiaolingtong finally won the role of Monkey King with his outstanding talent and unremitting efforts. This is not only a symbol of his personal honor, but also the highest recognition of the art of Chinese opera.
Since then, the six-year-old has embarked on his long journey to the pinnacle of art.
In-depth analysis of the reasons why Liu Xiaolingtong successfully won the role of Monkey King, it is not difficult to find that in addition to the strong recommendation of his father Liu Lingtong, more importantly, his own extraordinary talent and hard work made him finally stand out.
During the audition process, the young six-year-old child showed a high level of artistic accomplishment and solid basic skills. Although he is still young, his accurate grasp of the role and deep understanding of emotions have surpassed his peers.
Every flow of eyes, every subtle movement, can perfectly present the familiar and innovative image of Sun Wukong.
From his interpretation of the role, we can clearly see Liu Xiaolingtong's firm pursuit of art. He can ponder repeatedly and strive for perfection until he perfectly shows Sun Wukong's personality traits, inner world, martial arts and kung fu and other aspects.
This extreme attention to detail and relentless pursuit of perfection were the key factors in his continued popularity in his acting career.
Perhaps, such a rigorous, realistic, and diligent spirit of the artist is inextricably linked with the inheritance of the family style of the six-year-old child. As a disciple of Peking Opera master Liulingtong, he has been deeply influenced by his family's extreme emphasis on art and strict requirements since he was a child.
This outstanding artist's demeanor made him have an unwavering pursuit and almost pious admiration for his acting career.
It is with this focus and perseverance that Liu Xiaolingtong emerged in the fierce competition and successfully won the role of Monkey King. He has shown the professionalism of an outstanding actor with his practical actions - tireless study, humility and studiousness, and careful polishing of his works.
Only in this way can we create a classic image that is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people and fascinating.
The reason why Liu Xiaolingtong was able to rise to fame with the role of Monkey King is largely due to his highly responsible attitude towards the cause of art. This professionalism is destined to lead him to the pinnacle of his acting career.
Looking back on the process of Liu Xiaolingtong finally winning the role of Monkey King, it is not difficult to find that there is a gripping coincidence. Everything goes back to the casting process of the crew of the 1986 version of "Journey to the West".
At first, director Yang Jie fell in love with an excellent actor named Li Wanchun to play the Monkey King. Li Wanchun is not only excellent in martial arts, but also talented in acting, and is fully capable of this role.
However, just as Li Wanchun was preparing to try it out, Wang Fuxiang, then director of CCTV, questioned his appearance.
Wang Fuxiang believes that Li Wanchun's style is too "close to the Japanese monkey", which deviates from the image of the monkey in traditional Chinese culture, so he asked Director Yang Jie to change the candidate.
This undoubtedly put Yang Jie in a dilemma. On the one hand, she deeply admires Li Wanchun's excellent acting skills, and on the other hand, she must respect the opinions and requirements of her superiors.
After many careful considerations and careful trade-offs, Yang Jie had to respect and adopt Wang Fuxiang's valuable advice, and reluctantly put the originally optimistic Li Wanchun aside, and turned to find a more suitable candidate for Sun Wukong.
Just when she was in a predicament and didn't know what to do, a high-profile Peking Opera master, Mr. Liulingtong, appeared in her field of vision at the right time, generously introduced her wonderful son, Liuxiaolingtong, and firmly believed that this young man was undoubtedly the best candidate to play the role of Monkey King.
Mr. Liu Lingtong proudly said that his son is not only very similar to himself in appearance, but also a talented Peking Opera performance artist, who has a unique and in-depth understanding and perception of the classic image of the Monkey King.
What's even more rare is that the six-year-old boy has profound attainments in the profound traditional Chinese culture, and the Monkey King he portrayed will definitely be able to meet Wang Fuxiang's expectations for the image of the "Monkey King".
As expected, on the day of the audition, the young six-year-old boy deeply touched everyone present with his confident and calm temperament, unpretentious but rich connotation, and the smart charm shown in his acting skills.
The judges were full of praise and unanimously agreed that the six-year-old child not only has outstanding talent, but is also fully capable of taking on this vital role.
As a result, the actor who was once questioned as "too close to the Japanese monkey" failed to appear as he wished, but because of the unique vision of the leader, a better actor was finally able to shine on the stage.
This is undoubtedly an interesting coincidence, and it also vividly demonstrates the charm of cultural and artistic inheritance.
