A few years ago, someone on the Internet was rumored that the six-year-old boy married the "Iron Fan Princess", which was "sorry" Sun Wukong's good friend, the Bull Demon King, where is this.
Then The sixth teacher sent an article to clarify that his wife is Yu Hong, monkey sister-in-law is the field record of "Journey to the West", has made two cameo roles in the play, the daughter of the envoy of the country and the king of Tianzhu, may look a bit like the princess of the iron fan at first glance, so it was misrepresented.
After that, the six-year-old also introduced Wang Fengxia, who played the iron fan princess of "Journey to the West", unfortunately, she was the first actor to die in "Journey to the West", the reason why netizens will be mistaken, it is estimated that it may be related to the identity of Wang Fengxia's husband, because her lover is also playing Sun Wukong.
However, the sixth teacher is probably also affected by the untrue information on the Internet, and there are some small errors in the article, such as Wang Fengxia's birth date.
This article will talk about Wang Fengxia, the "Iron Fan Princess" of the "Journey to the West" who died young.
First, the date of birth is a mystery?
In the article of the sixth teacher, it is mentioned that Wang Fengxia was born on December 5, 1955, and began her artistic career in Peking Opera in 1959. She started singing at the age of three?
The author checked it, and almost all of Wang Fengxia's birthdays on the Internet are this date, but it feels unreliable. After many inquiries, the author believes that Wang Fengxia teacher should have been born in July 1948, and was not a graduate of Mudanjiang Normal College, but a native of Kangping, Liaoning, who was admitted to the Tongliao Beijing Critics Troupe at the age of 11 in 1959, and successively studied with Wu Suqiu and other well-known Peking opera actors, and began her artistic career.
That is to say, on November 5, 1993, when Teacher Wang Fengxia died, she was not 38 years old, but 45 years old.
Second, the husband and wife both starred in "Flame Mountain"
The reason why some netizens mistakenly think that "Sun Wukong married the Iron Fan Princess" is because this thing is indeed true, but the "Iron Fan Princess" is indeed the "Iron Fan Princess" Wang Fengxia we are talking about, but this "Sun Wukong" is not a six-year-old child but Wang Fengxia's husband Liu Xiliang in life.
In various dramas in China, there are many people who can play monkey plays, such as Dong Zhihua, the "Wulang Bagua Stick" in the movie "Kung Fu", who is the earliest candidate for Sun Wukong that director Yang Jie looked up to (later he played Sun Wukong in "The Legend of the Westbound Ping Demon"),in addition to the "Northern Monkey King" Li Shaochun and Li Xiaochun and others, and in the Northeast Jilin Peking Opera Troupe, the most capable of monkey play is Liu Xiliang.
Liu Xiliang was born in a Peking Opera family, his father was the head of a Peking Opera troupe in Inner Mongolia, Liu Xiliang played Sun Wukong in "Haunted Heavenly Palace" at the age of 12, and later also acted in "Haunted Dragon Palace" and other plays.
And Liu Xiliang's most wonderful performance is the opera movie "Flame Mountain" starring with his wife Wang Fengxia, Liu Xiliang plays Sun Wukong, and Wang Fengxia plays Princess Tiefan.
"Flame Mountain" is a 1983 opera film filmed by Changchun Film Studio, the plot of the story is roughly the same as the "Three Tones Banana Fan" in the TV series "Journey to the West", the difference is that in the movie, it is the Eight Precepts of the Pig that kills the jade-faced fox essence, and it is the Guanyin Bodhisattva who takes away the Bull Demon King, which means that the film and the TV series have their own originals.
It is worth mentioning that in addition to the classic singing segments left behind by the movie "Flame Mountain", there is also a very powerful place in that year, that is, it won the Best Stunt Award of the Golden Rooster Award of Chinese Films.
Looking at the fire of this mountain of flames, it feels more realistic and burning than the fire made with a flamethrower in the TV series.
Just because of Wang Fengxia's wonderful performance in "Flame Mountain", director Yang Jie, who is familiar with the opera industry herself, invited her to star in the "Iron Fan Princess" of the TV series "Journey to the West", as for Teacher Liu Xiliang, there is no way, Teacher Liu has played more than ten episodes of Sun Wukong.
Third, the classic iron fan princess
There is a saying on the Internet that the Princess of the Iron Fan is from the Luocha Woman, and the Luocha Woman is a very vicious man-eating demon, so the Princess of the Iron Fan must not see where to go, and the author believed this statement at the beginning.
In fact, we should consider Wu Cheng'en's era, the "Luocha" in the "Journey to the West" novel should refer to a certain country in Russia or Central Asia today, since the Luocha woman is called the Iron Fan Princess, it may be that she is the princess of a small country.
Moreover, the Iron Fan Princess is not a demon, she is cultivated by people, so she can give birth to a red child, as for the Bull Demon King, forehead, green?
Perhaps it was because Princess Tiefan was cultivated by people, so she couldn't stand that the Bull Demon King had an external heart, and at the same time, Princess Tiefan had given birth to children, so her personality should be a young woman who was not very young.
From this point of view, Wang Fengxia's teacher's iron fan princess is indeed very in line with the role of the persona, "Three Tones Banana Fan" was filmed in 1986, when Wang Fengxia should be 38 years old, it is the age of the charm that still exists, plus her opera actor origin, skills and figure are naturally nothing to say, so her iron fan princess is more classic in all aspects.
Then again, when I was a child watching "Journey to the West", I didn't like Princess Tiefan, in addition to her sinister cunning deception of monkeys, there is also her appearance is older than that of the jade-faced fox spirit and other small goblins, everyone generally thinks that there seems to be no problem with the vision and choice of the Bull Demon King, he made a mistake that all men (cows) in the world will make.
But after the author's age reaches and exceeds the age of Wang Fengxia's teacher when filming, the author's latest view is that it is better to find a wife or an iron fan princess.
Fourth, he died young for his career
Some articles on the Internet say that Teacher Wang Fengxia was already suffering from cancer when filming "Journey to the West", and she was filming with illness. In fact, Wang Fengxia was diagnosed with breast cancer in 1989, and it is said that it has reached the middle stage. It is reasonable to say that if you completely leave work to recuperate, it is not without opportunities.
But at that time, Wang Fengxia was already the secretary of the regiment and the backbone of the business, so she was doing chemotherapy and drinking soup medicine, while also rehearsing and managing work, in 1991 to commemorate the 200th anniversary of the Hui class into Beijing, Liu Xiliang and Wang Fengxia performed three consecutive "Flame Mountain", and Wang Fengxia on the stage could not see that she was a person who was seriously ill.
It is precisely because of this dedication that teacher Wang Fengxia unfortunately died young in 1993.
Teacher Wang Fengxia's artistic career, in addition to the Peking Opera stage, she only acted in one movie "Flame Mountain", only acted in a TV series "Journey to the West", in these two works she played the Iron Fan Princess, so the Iron Fan Princess has become synonymous with Wang Fengxia's teacher, and this role is also full of her sweat and hard work.
