Speaking of Journey to the West, I believe many friends have seen it, and in recent years, the IP of Journey to the West has also frequently appeared in everyone's field of vision, such as the very popular domestic movie "The Return of the Great Sage".
Although there was not much publicity in the early stage, it also received a high box office by relying on the audience who liked Journey to the West very much, and this movie also represented the rise of domestic animation films. At the same time, the fandom animation "Journey to the West" has also been played very high on a website.
Many viewers talked about "Journey to the West" and praised it, thinking that it was a very good work.
However, among the many "Journey to the West" interpretations, people's favorite is the 82nd edition of the "Journey to the West" TV series, which is the classic work directed by Yang Jie. This version of "Journey to the West" can be said to have earned enough word of mouth, and after that, people always mention director Yang Jie is full of praise and admiration.
It is indeed admirable that a female director can overcome many difficulties and finally come up with such a good work. But it is hard to believe that yang Chunxia, the actor who plays bai bonejing in this work, has a hatred between herself and director Yang Jie.
Next, I will take you to see what happened in this.
Who is Yang Chunxia? I believe that many friends have only seen the role of Bai Bonejing and do not know the person who played her.
Yang Chunxia was originally a Peking Opera actress. At that time, many actors slowly changed from singing Peking Opera to acting, and Yang Chunxia was the same.
In 1973, Yang Chunxia entered the Beijing Peking Opera Troupe to star in the work "Rhododendron Mountain", which is very famous in the history of Chinese dramas, and Yang Chunxia became popular precisely because of this work.
After that, Yang Chunxia has a large number of fans, and many fans also learn Yang Chunxia's style to perm their own curls, resulting in Yang Chunxia's same head swept the country.
Later, when Yang Chunxia starred in the Peking Opera "Picking Jade Bracelet", she met director Yang Jie, who was the screenwriter at the time, which was also the first encounter between the two.
At that time, the two did not expect to continue to cooperate in "Journey to the West", nor did they expect that the two would form a lifelong hatred because of "Journey to the West".
When performing the Peking Opera "Picking Jade Bracelet", Yang Jie found that Yang Chunxia's performance style was very unique, and she secretly thought in her heart: If you have the opportunity in the future, you must cooperate with this actor again.
Later, Yang Jie wanted to start filming "Journey to the West", because the conditions at that time were very hard, "Journey to the West" was a play that needed special effects, but the budget of the crew was not much, and it had experienced many difficulties since filming. Among them, the casting of white bone essence has experienced many twists and turns.
In fact, at the beginning, Yang Jie did not plan to let Yang Chunxia play, and the initial role of Bai Bonejing was Liu Xiaoqing.
I believe that many friends are very familiar with Liu Xiaoqing, but also a powerful actor, looks very beautiful.
However, at the beginning, China's thinking was not so open, and many actors were reluctant to play negative characters, for example, before an actor played a negative character Zhou Pickpocket. As a result, people will be beaten when they walk on the street, because the acting is too good and the acting is too bad, causing the masses to be very angry and lose their minds. So for a long time, actors will think twice when they pick up negative characters.
In addition to the fear of being beaten, on the other hand, because playing a negative character will be remembered very clearly, so once many actors play a negative character, they will continue to play the opposite character, and it is difficult to change the label on their bodies. So when Yang Jie contacted Liu Xiaoqing to let her play the white bone essence, Liu Xiaoqing also refused at first.
In fact, Yang Jie also considered this reason, so she treated almost all the villains in "Journey to the West" with facial treatment, as far as possible to cover the appearance of the actors themselves. For example, the King of the Golden Horn and the King of the Silver Horn directly made a fake face on their heads, which is also a kind of protection for the actors, but it is difficult for actresses to deal with them.
The three dozen white bone essence bridge sections in the original "Journey to the West" are described in detail.
Bai BoneJing had to change his form several times and use a very weak and beautiful role to attract the four Tang monks and disciples, so it was inevitably impossible to make a fake face and put on his head.
After hesitating for a long time, Liu Xiaoqing finally agreed, but Liu Xiaoqing's condition was that all the white bone essences should be played by herself. That is to say, the young or old man played by Bai Bonejing wants her to play, which makes Yang Jie very opposed.
Yang Jie felt that it was obviously a completely different character, how could the same person play to deceive Tang Monk.
Such works are deceiving the audience. So in the end, Yang Jie did not choose Liu Xiaoqing, but she urgently needed an actor, so she thought of Yang Chunxia. Yang Chunxia was very happy to hear that she had been invited to participate in Journey to the West, but immediately poured down a basin of cold water.
White bone essence? Yang Chunxia obviously did not want to play this negative role, after all, she had played a very positive outstanding woman before.
But after thinking about it, Yang Chunxia finally decided to give it a try. However, in order not to solidify her image, Yang Chunxia proposed that if she wanted to act, she must also be allowed to play the king of the daughter country.
Yang Jie was very entangled in her heart, but forced by the tight shooting schedule, Yang Jie still agreed to Yang Chunxia and made a promise to the other party:
"As long as you shoot the white bone essence, when the time comes to shoot the daughter country, I will definitely come to take the initiative to find you."
Yang Chunxia lived up to expectations, and with her strong basic skills and professional qualities, she interpreted the role of Bai BoneJing very well.
When the chapter of the daughter country began, Yang Jie did not fulfill her promise, which is why the two formed a lifelong hatred.
As the old saying goes, integrity is the foundation of one's life. The author believes that this matter is indeed Yang Jie's mistake, if you can't do something, don't easily agree to others. However, Yang Jie herself also knows that she has done something wrong, so whenever she mentions Journey to the West, Yang Jie will feel sorry for Yang Chunxia.
Compared with a promise, Yang Jie always felt that the art work was the most important. If she is allowed to play the king of the daughter country again, how the audience views this drama, a good work must have problems. So she broke her word.
But for Yang Chunxia, who plays the white bone essence, because of this unfulfilled promise, she is suspected of being for no reason, and what she leaves for others in a good career is a bad woman image. Therefore, she complained about director Yang Jie for so many years, and the two have never met.
Such a Liangzi only came to an end after the death of director Yang Chunxia. Later, Yang Chunxia also took the initiative to mention this issue, saying that she had put it down.
Today, she is 78 years old. In life, I enjoy the happiness of four generations in the same house, and although I have long retired at work, I still do my best to teach new people and contribute to the art.
