Preface
The filming of "Journey to the West" is like learning from the West.
I went through all kinds of difficulties.
to obtain the true scriptures.
But the biggest difficulty is still on Tang Seng.
Watching TV as a child, few people found out.
"Journey to the West" has a total of three Tang monks.
Now, 38 years later, their life circumstances are different.
Someone married a rich woman who was eleven years older.
Some people have no children and no daughters.
Some people are so depressed that they go to the cave to perform.
01 Wang Yue
At that time, "Journey to the West" was about to start filming.
The selection of Tang Seng has become a problem.
He is the soul of the entire Journey to the West.
If Tang Seng doesn't act well, the tone of this play will easily collapse.
Director Yang Jie decided to go to Beijing Film Academy to select actors.
At this time, Wang Yue entered the sight of director Yang Jie.
Wang Yue's temperament is very much in line with Tang Seng's temperament.
Wait for Wang Yue to change his clothes.
Director Yang Jie finalized that this is Tang Seng.
But the producers have a different opinion.
They believe that Wang Yue does not conform to the image of Tang Seng.
In the end, director Yang Jie insisted on designating Wang Yue as Tang Seng.
And Wang Yue also lived up to expectations.
The Tang Seng he played can be said to be very suitable for the image of the original work.
His acting skills portrayed Tang Seng's complex emotions in three points.
But the good times didn't last long.
Wang Yue filmed three episodes.
He told the director that he wasn't going to shoot it.
There are movies that invite him.
It's only been three episodes of filming, and Wang Yue is leaving.
How to shoot them later.
Even if Director Yang Jie keeps it again and again.
Wang Yue still decided to leave.
Director Yang Jie was also angry.
Let's go, can so many people in China still live without Tang Seng?
However, Director Yang Jie still advised him a few words for the sake of the friendship of the crew.
Wang Yue is rarely confused.
He didn't know whether to go or not.
After careful consideration, plus the situation of movies at that time was better than TV series.
Wang Yue made up his mind to leave.
Decades have passed.
Wang Yue later regretted it in the interview.
Because of the choice, I missed the role of Tang Seng.
Later, Wang Yue played the role of Tang Seng in addition to that.
None of the other characters made a splash.
He went back to school to work as an acting teacher.
Although it is not popular, the days are very leisurely.
02 Xu Shaohua
After Wang Yue left, the entire crew stopped.
The soul characters are gone, how can they be filmed.
It was proposed to re-elect Tang monks.
But it's not that easy.
First of all, you have to find someone who is similar to Wang Yue's image.
Otherwise, the audience can see at a glance that Tang Seng is not the same, isn't this fooling the audience?
But it is not easy to find such a Tang monk.
Those who are similar to Wang Yue's image can't act.
In the end, director Yang Jie decided to re-elect a Tang monk.
Not according to Wang Yue's image.
At that time, Xu Shaohua was auditioning for Little White Dragon.
But Xu Shaohua's little white dragon lacks masculinity.
And the actors who auditioned for Tang Seng lacked elegance.
At that time, it was proposed that the two of them be exchanged.
Unexpectedly, it was this sentence that completely changed Xu Shaohua's life.
Xu Shaohua, who dressed up as Tang Seng, is very in line with the image of Tang Seng.
Director Yang Jie immediately decided that Xu Shaohua would play Tang Seng.
At that time, Xu Shaohua was still very thin.
In order to make him more in line with the role of Tang Seng.
The crew added meat dishes to him alone.
In those days of food scarcity.
You can prepare meat dishes separately.
It is conceivable how much the crew values Xu Shaohua.
Xu Shaohua also secretly decided that he must act well.
Xu Shaohua's acting is very aura.
He starred in the role of the Monkey King Bao Tang Seng and counted Zhu Bajie.
The Great War Red Boy and so on.
The most memorable thing is the emotional drama between Tang Seng and the king of the daughter country.
In the plot, the two are in love.
Xu Shaohua's forbearance and complexity were all shown by him.
It's a pity to meet the right person at the wrong time.
At this time, Xu Shaohua was already married.
After more than 20 years, the two met on a variety show.
Zhu Lin's first words were Brother Yu, don't come unharmed.
It's even more embarrassing.
03 Chi Chongrui
thought that Xu Shaohua would be able to keep acting.
But suddenly one day.
Xu Shaohua said he was going to school.
The whole crew was shocked.
It turned out that Xu Shaohua's unit asked him to go to school for further study.
Xu Shaohua naturally had to listen to the opinions of the unit.
Director Yang Jie knew that he couldn't keep it.
just asked Xu Shaohua to finish filming the scenes of Journey to the West.
Xu Shaohua finished filming the scene of his daughter's country.
When he left the crew, he was reluctant to have tears in his eyes.
Yang Jie did not resent Xu Shaohua.
Just feel sorry for him.
After all, in life, who hasn't had no choice but to do so.
Later, Xu Shaohua did not break out of the Ming Hall.
Now that he is old, he wears Tang monk's clothes in order to make a living and performs in the cave.
It's really impressive!
Because of Xu Shaohua's departure.
The leaders of the station felt that this TV series was full of twists and turns.
I want to stop the project.
Director Yang Jie fought hard to keep Journey to the West.
Just when Director Yang Jie was anxious.
Good luck began to behave in this crew.
At that time, Chi Chongrui was recommended to go to the mirror Tang Seng.
I couldn't find each other.
He had to go back first.
I didn't expect fate to be so wonderful.
Chi Chongrui met director Yang Jie at the staircase.
Director Yang Jie found at a glance that Chi Chongrui was dignified, elegant and generous.
It is very suitable for the image of Tang Seng.
At that time, Chi Chongrui was decided.
Chi Chongrui also lived up to expectations.
His excellent acting skills once made the audience not realize that Journey to the West had changed Tang Seng again.
The audience's eyes are focused on the characters and the plot.
Even Tang Seng's appearance is different.
The audience only felt that it was makeup.
I didn't think about substitutions.
Chi Chongrui seriously completed the filming of Journey to the West.
No matter what difficulties I went through during the period, I didn't think about leaving.
The Tang Seng played by Chi Chongrui was also the last to get the true scriptures.
Director Yang Jie also said later that Chi Chongrui is the most loyal.
It's just that Chi Chongrui finished filming Journey to the West and rarely acted.
Instead, he married a second-married rich woman with a baby who was 11 years older than him.
In 1990, 38-year-old Chi Chongrui married 49-year-old Chen Lihua.
This marriage is not favored.
The two have been married for 31 years.
Although there are no children of their own.
But they have been together for half a lifetime.
Chi Chongrui also did not have any scandals.
epilogue
A Tang monk is played by three people.
The lives of three people are different, and their life circumstances are very different.
There are the same opportunities in front of us, some people take them, some people miss them.
Hard work is the foundation.
But many times the choice is greater than the effort.
