How popular is the 86th edition of Journey to the West?
It has set a rating myth of 89.4%, and has been replayed more than 3,000 times in more than 30 years, and it is still the TV series that has been replayed the most in winter and summer vacations.
The most popular role in "Journey to the West" is played by a six-year-old child, and Sun Wukong at that time was the embodiment of a hero for many people.
Due to the successful portrayal of the role of Sun Wukong, the actor's six-year-old child also became famous and became a popular star.
However, in recent years, this former old artist has faced "late festival insecurity" and has fallen into the verbal criticism of netizens.
From the pursuit of thousands of people to the ridicule of the whole network, what did the six-year-old child experience?
01, the fourth generation of Zhang's monkey play
The six-year-old child, whose real name is Zhang Jinlai, was born in April 1959 in a "Monkey King family".
The Zhang family has been famous for performing monkey plays since his great-grandfather, and every lunar festival, his great-grandfather would wear a wooden carved monkey mask and dance with a hoe in his barefoot hand to play a monkey play, known as "Living Monkey Chapter".
And the one who really carried forward the Shao opera was Zhang Yisheng, the grandfather of the six-year-old child.
He opened a "Laozha Grand Theater" in Shanghai, expanded the Shao Opera Class Society into the "Tongchun Stage", created the shaoxing Grand Class base in Shanghai, and opened the Shanghai Gate of Shao Opera.
By the time his father was six years old, he was already the director of The Shao Theater in Zhejiang Province, and he created the southern style of monkey opera "living" and "spirit", and had the reputation of "Southern Monkey King".
The representative work "Sun Wukong Three Dozen White Bone Essence" is the most famous, and has been praised by the great man "Golden Monkey Rising Thousand Jun Stick".
Since growing up in the "Monkey Play Family", young children of six years have become very interested in this aspect.
However, due to physical reasons, coupled with the fact that he is the youngest child, the focus of the family's monkey learning skills is not him, but his second brother "Little Six-year-old Child" Zhang Jinxing.
Zhang Jinxing has been gifted since childhood, playing a monkey with a wonderful portrait, and has been praised and hugged by the prime minister, but unfortunately, He is jealous of talent, and Zhang Jinxing unfortunately has leukemia and dies.
Before dying, the second brother lay on the hospital bed, and the six-year-old child cried and asked his brother how to meet again after he died, and the second brother replied that the day you played the monkey king Sun Wukong, you would be able to see me.
Zhang Jinxing's death hit the family hard, and in order to commemorate his son Zhang Zongyi, he gave Zhang Jinlai the stage name "Six Little Children." ”
And Zhang Jinlai also began a difficult road of learning art in order to be able to see his brother again.
The six-year-old child followed his father's daily practice of one move and one style, and finally learned something and became the fourth generation of Zhang's monkey play, although not as good as his brother, but also a little famous.
02. With the role of "Sun Wukong", it is popular all over the country
In 1981, director Yang Jie took the 3 million yuan given by CCTV to start preparing for the filming of "Journey to the West", and the most important thing before the TV series began filming was casting.
When choosing the actor of Sun Wukong, Yang Jie was very worried, because it was really not easy to find an actor with a high degree of fit with this role.
She first visited the Teacher Li Wanchun of the Northern Monkey King, but the two sides did not agree on it, and later found Teacher Dong Zhihua, but at that time, Teacher Dong declined her because of the task of performing abroad.
Finally, Yang Jie arrived at Zhang Zongyi's house, and originally wanted the little six-year-old child to play but he had died at that time, so Zhang Zongyi recommended the six-year-old child.
At that time, Yang Jie first saw that the six-year-old child only used five words to describe: like a student, the temperament was completely inconsistent with Sun Wukong in Yang Jie's heart.
However, Zhang Zongyi repeatedly recommended and let the six-year-old children play a monkey play, and finally the 23-year-old six-year-old child got the opportunity to play Sun Wukong.
Before entering the group, Yang Jie said to the six-year-old children, you still have many deficiencies, you have to work hard to practice, no one can take care of you when you go to the crew, you must be able to bear hardships.
So the six-year-old children followed the crew of "Journey to the West" and began a 6-year hard filming.
Due to the limited budget of the filming crew at that time, most of the scenes in the play similar to Sun Wukong flying, burning, and fighting were on their own by the six-year-old children.
When filming, six-year-old children have 600-degree myopia and 200-degree astigmatism, and things that look 1 meter away without glasses are virtual, but "Sun Wukong" has a stunt that is the golden eye of fire, and the requirements for the eyes are extremely high.
In order to perform Sun Wukong's "Golden Eye of Fire", the six-year-old child went to watch others play table tennis during the day, and his eyes followed the table tennis, and at night he turned off the lights in the house and lit a lot of candles to follow the flames.
In this way, I finally cultivated a pair of "golden eyes of fire" that were shining brightly.
In order to play a monkey well, during the filming, the six-year-old child has been carrying a monkey by his side to learn the monkey's appearance and movements.
The efforts of the six-year-old children were not in vain, and in 1986, "Journey to the West" quickly caused a hot discussion when it premiered on CCTV.
Sun Wukong, played by the six-year-old child, is even more popular, and it is popular all over the country, and won the Best Actor Award at the 6th China Golden Eagle Awards with the role of Sun Wukong.
At the age of 27, he has reached the highest point in his life.
03. A grudge with director Yang Jie
Mention the six-year-old child, you can't get around his and Bole Yang Jie's grievances.
As the director of "Journey to the West", Yang Jie can be said to have single-handedly overcame many difficulties to make this classic TV series.
But in one interview, she made it clear:
"Journey to the West" is an eternal knot and a pain in my heart, I have not seen it for ten years, and ten years after it was broadcast, I saw it and changed the station. After the shooting, it was a tragedy in my heart.
Why does director Yang Jie have such an attitude in the face of works that cost so much of his energy?
The reason for this comes from a six-year-old child.
When filming "Journey to the West" that year, Yang Jie told the crowd:
This task is extremely arduous, if it fails, it is my ability is not enough, if it is successful, it is everyone's credit, especially Sun Wukong, if the country is famous, I hope you do not forget everyone, it is everyone's efforts to support you.
After the broadcast of "Journey to the West", six young children were on fire, but he did not remember the words that director Yang Jie said to them at the beginning of the shooting.
Once the Journey to the West crew planned to perform in Singapore, director Yang Jie summoned the actors for rehearsals, but the six-year-old child, Ma Andy-wah and Yan Huaili took a leave of absence.
Later, director Yang Jie learned that they went to Jinan to perform privately behind everyone's back, and after returning, director Yang Jie criticized them.
This criticism caused dissatisfaction among the six-year-old children and others, who went to the director to complain while warning other actors not to get close to Yang Jie, otherwise they could not perform in Singapore.
Moreover, he also said that in future performances, director Yang Jie would not go to the master and apprentice a few people.
As a result, Yang Jie was not only punished by the director and kicked out of the crew, but even lost the opportunity to go to Singapore.
Later, Jiang Dawei, the singer of "Dare to Ask where the road is", also confirmed the authenticity of this matter, accusing several leading actors of being people who cannot be so unrighteous, without Director Yang Jie, where are the four of you today?
Since then, the contradiction between the six-year-old child and the director Yang Jie has spread widely.
In 2013, the three masters and apprentices and the general director Yang Jie recorded "Lu Yu has a date".
The six-year-old child thanked Yang Jie in person: I often said that without director Yang Jie letting me act in this TV series at that time, when such a Sun Wukong, there would be no six-year-old child today.
Yang Jie also said: Some people have some knots in their hearts in the past, but when they meet today, they smile and take revenge.
At this point, the contradiction between the two people has come to an end.
What is surprising is that in 2017, director Yang Jie died, and the six-year-old released a memorial video, but after saying a few words of mourning, they actually promoted their new movie.
This mysterious operation of the six-year-old child caused heated discussion among everyone, and everyone could not accept his behavior of promoting the film through the teacher, jokingly calling him a spiritual hall to sell films, and once became a "six learning" terrier.
04. A six-year-old child who has been tying up to Sun Wukong all his life
If the grudge with director Yang Jie made everyone start to have a different view of the six-year-old child, then what really made the six-year-old child fall off the altar was his binding and possession of Sun Wukong.
In the face of film and television works related to "Journey to the West", the six-year-old children publicly expressed their dissatisfaction.
Diss Dragon Ball, it says that it is not our national thing, don't follow behind some countries to pursue their style.
Criticizing Zhou Xingchi's "Journey to the West", not only imitating the action of the Supreme Treasure carrying the golden hoop stick with both arms on many occasions, but also shouting that the director should "apologize" to the people of the whole country!
But the problem is that while criticizing others for spoofing the Journey to the West, he himself receives various endorsements under the image of the "Monkey King".
In addition to slamming other people's magic reforms, the six-year-old child also used a series of operations to dominate the image of Sun Wukong and "Journey to the West".
For example, in the former residence of Wu Cheng'en, the author of "Journey to the West", there are statues and photos of six-year-old children everywhere, and even CCTV can't help but angrily criticize: Whose former residence is this?
He directed and acted in a "Journey to the West > Wu Cheng'en and <", in which he not only played Sun Wukong, but also personally played Wu Cheng'en.
The original work of "Journey to the West" was modified according to his own understanding and experience, and the cover was set as his own photo for publication.
A game company created its own "Sun Wukong" portrait promotion game, but was sued by a six-year-old child in court for violating his portrait rights.
And in order to let everyone show more love and admiration for the Sun Wukong he plays, the six-year-old child does not hesitate to lie.
At that time, he claimed that he did not have a stand-in when he filmed "Journey to the West", but in fact, there were fishermen, gymnastics team members and other scenes for him.
The monkey in the photo of the six-year-old boy saluting him because he acted too realistically was not a wild monkey, he was domesticated and saluted by anyone who saw him.
It is precisely because of these behaviors of the six-year-old child that everyone once liked him and replaced it with all kinds of ridicule.
There are many actors who have been popular with one role for a lifetime, but there are not many people like six-year-old children who occupy the role like this.
You Benchang, who plays Jigong, once said: Bodhisattvas are phaseless, and a thousand people can perform a thousand Jigongs.
But when it comes to the six-year-old, it becomes: I hope that there is only one Monkey King in the minds of a thousand viewers.
And this is also the fundamental reason why the six-year-old children have gone from being praised by thousands of people to being ridiculed by thousands of people.
He tied up the characters and tied himself up.
