In 1986, a "Journey to the West" created a ratings miracle,
Although the special effects seem to be cheap now, there are still some wear gang shots,
But this drama is an indelible childhood memory for too many people.
The many leading actors of this drama have also changed their fate,
In the play, the image of the second master brother Pig Eight Precepts greedy and lustful brought a lot of laughter,
But because of the special effects makeup throughout the process, he did not show his face many times,
Ma Dehua, the actor of the Eight Precepts of the Pig, has not been able to become as popular as the six-year-old child and Chi Chongrui.
But Journey to the West also changed his life.
In 1945, Ma Dehua was born in Beijing to a Muslim family.
When I was a child, my parents ran a Muslim restaurant, and the family's life was still passable.
Ma Dehua is the third son in the family, his original name is Ma Rui,
But many people don't know this word, and he is called horse meat,
His father was angry and changed him to Madhua.
When he was a child, his father's temper was not good, and Ma Dehua was a child who did not open the house for three days.
He had been beaten so many times that he was immediately honest when he heard his father coughing.
At that time, Ma Dehua was active, always liked to dance knives and guns, so he begged his father to send him to learn martial arts.
It took several days for my father to agree,
But he was given a rule that as long as he went, he could not regret it,
No matter how much suffering you have to endure, you have to persevere.
Ma Dehua agreed with a full mouth and began his career as a teenager learning art.
He had to get up early in the morning to practice, and his father asked him to practice for two hours before he could eat
When you get to school, you have to turn your head, take a horse step, break your legs,
The years of learning martial arts consumed a lot of his extra energy.
But he still sometimes made his father angry.
Once, on the way to the martial arts school, Ma Dehua saw that the roadside was repairing the archway.
The workers below sing trumpets while throwing things to the workers above,
He was so impressed that he forgot to go to school.
Father knew from his teacher that he had not gone to school, and at home he was ready to draw his rope,
Tugging at his ears and carrying him home from the street.
The mother, distressed by the child, put away the rope,
His father beat him with a broomstick, and the whole family interceded to no avail.
In the end, the neighbor uncle couldn't look at it and ran over to plead,
Fortunately, Ma Dehua has been peeing since he was a child and is very resistant to fighting.
This also laid the foundation for him to shoot martial arts scenes in the future.
But under the discipline of his father, Ma Dehua did not grow into a well-behaved child.
He later fell in love with Peking Opera and wanted to apply for the Xiqu Academy.
My father still disagreed and wanted him to study well.
In 1958, 13-year-old Ma Dehua was admitted to the Beijing Academy of Performing Arts for the first time.
But on the day of the exam, his father locked him up at home and wouldn't let him go.
I could only miss this opportunity with my eyes open.
Two years later, Ma Dehua did not die, and wanted to apply for the China Peking Opera House.
Moreover, when applying for the examination this time, you also need to provide the family's household registration book as proof.
Ma Dehua first went to ask for a soft mother,
Soft and hard bubbles finally stole the family's household registration book behind his father's back,
Then without his father's knowledge, he was admitted to the Peking Opera.
Finally, under the persuasion of relatives, friends, and neighbors,
His father reluctantly agreed to let him study Peking Opera.
But I didn't expect that later the Peking Opera House and the Kun Theater merged,
Ma Dehua did not study Peking Opera for a few years before he was transferred to sing Kun opera.
And he also had a martial arts background and failed to become a martial arts actor.
Instead, he starred in many clowns and played the Eight Commandments of pigs many times.
At that time, the domestic cultural environment was not good, and in special periods, it could only obey the arrangement.
But all this seemed to be destined to lay the foundation for him to become the Eight Precepts of the Pig.
Although playing a clown, The young AndyHua is not only not ugly,
Still a handsome guy with two deep dimples on his face.
In 1972, the 27-year-old Ma Dehua met Hou Yumin through a blind date.
The two soon entered the marriage hall and gave birth to a son after marriage.
After marriage, Ma Dehua and Hou Yumin were very harmonious, and occasionally quarreled over small things.
Once when he was in a hurry, his wife felt that she had been scolded and cried bitterly.
Ma Dehua's mother also sided with her daughter-in-law and taught her son a hard lesson.
Later, Ma Dehua apologized to his wife and agreed that the two would not talk seriously when they quarreled.
If it weren't for a Journey to the West a few years later,
The life of Ma Dehua and his wife will always be plain and simple,
But the role of Pig Eight In this drama completely changed Ma Dehua's career.
In 1982, CCTV prepared to shoot "Journey to the West", one of the four famous works.
The director's task fell on Yang Jie's head, and she began to look for actors all over the country.
Yang Jie is very picky about the role, and several leading actors are personally selected by her,
At first, she still thought that the six-year-old child with glasses was too bookish and did not want to use him;
Chi Chongrui is Yang Jie's glance at a passing shoulder;
Even the white dragon horse that often appeared in the camera was specially selected from the military horses.
At that time, it just happened that the "Eight Commandments of the Pig" choreographed by the Kun Theater was being staged.
It is Ma Dehua who plays the Eight Precepts of the Pig, and Yang Jie is very satisfied after watching it.
It was immediately decided that he would play the role of the drama version of The Eight Commandments of Pigs.
But Yang Jie still felt that Ma Dehua was too thin and did not conform to the image of the Eight Precepts of the Pig.
Before entering the group, Ma Dehua deliberately gained fifteen pounds and grew a big belly to be closer to the role.
Filming film and television dramas in the early eighties did not have such a good treatment today,
Ma Dehua, six children such as the starring episode is only forty or fifty dollars,
And Journey to the West took three years to shoot forty-five episodes,
Their annual wages are only two or three thousand yuan, which is not as good as the income of many workers.
It is said that Xu Shaohua, the actor of the first Tang monk, abandoned the role because his salary was five yuan less than Ma Dehua.
After that, Yang Jie found Chi Zhongrui to save the scene.
And Ma Dehua's salary is more because he is a special actor,
Regardless of the cold and heat, you must wear the special effects of pig nose and pig ears,
You also have to carry a big belly on your back.
And at that time, all four leading actors shaved their heads,
Once they were sitting in a car and were stopped by the police.
Thought they were fugitives from the detention center.
In order to shoot this drama well that year, Yang Jie took the whole crew to go to many places.
Even going abroad to shoot, very hard,
Coupled with the simple facilities of the crew, many times the protection measures are not perfect,
Ma Dehua almost died several times while filming.
"Journey to the West" has a lot of scenes of tengyun chasing fog, all need to use Weiya,
But at that time, the conditions of the crew were tense, plus many scenes were filmed in the mountains.
The transportation is inconvenient, and some support facilities are not perfect.
The WEA they used had broken several times.
And there are not enough mats underneath for protection.
At that time, the mats in the crew were limited, and they often laid a mat and piled up a few cardboard boxes.
Sometimes even the cardboard box is not enough.
Fortunately, Ma Dehua learned martial arts from an early age, reacted quickly, and his skills were good.
You can still protect yourself when you fall.
Every time he and the six-year-old child and Yan Huaili finish filming the scene of hanging Weiya, they have to hug it,
Gratitude was not thrown to death, and several people also formed a deep friendship during the shooting.
Sun Wukong's scene against the red child, his whole body was burned by fire and he also personally fought,
The asbestos coat he wore on his body did not work well, making him almost suffocate,
Ma Dehua, Yan Huaili and others were on the sidelines with water ready to save him.
At that time, Ma Dehua and the six-year-old child lived in a room, and the two had a very good relationship.
Six-year-old children and his wife Yu Hong are also in love with the "Journey to the West" crew.
At that time, Yu Hong was still the scene of the crew, and often came to them after finishing work.
Ma Dehua saw at a glance that the two were wrong, and each time he deliberately made excuses to go out,
Let the two be alone, a scene filmed except Ma Dehua no one knows their love affair.
Fortunately, all the hard work is worth it, and this "Journey to the West" can be described as an empty alley after broadcasting.
It is still an insurmountable classic,
It is also a divine drama that must be replayed every winter and summer vacation on David TV.
It even set the Guinness World Record with the most replays.
The lives of Ma Dehua and the six-year-old children starring in this change,
They went from unknown actors to popular stars,
Various evenings and commercial performances are inviting four masters and apprentices.
The four of them, Chi Chongrui and the richest woman Chen Lihua, married,
The six-year-old child became the spokesperson of Sun Wukong, and the advertisement was soft.
Ma Dehua most of the drama wears special effects makeup,
The number of real appearances is not much, but it still does not affect him to become the most classic pig eight precepts,
In particular, the episode where the pig's eight precepts back to the daughter-in-law has become a fragment of imitation.
However, because they became popular overnight, many conflicts of interest were exposed.
Especially the contradiction between the four masters and apprentices and director Yang Jie.
Once an event in Singapore invited director Yang Jie and four teachers and apprentices,
But at that time, the four masters and apprentices had already taken over another commercial performance.
The two dates clashed, and Director Yang Jie wanted them to push off the commercial performance but they refused.
Originally, when she was in the crew, director Yang Jie was very strong,
Now that they have become popular, they are touted everywhere, and of course they do not want to be angry anymore.
And director Yang Jie was originally going to Singapore by herself,
However, after the other party heard that the four masters and apprentices did not come, they no longer invited Director Yang Jie.
This embarrassment deepens the contradiction between the two sides.
However, because the effect of "Journey to the West" is too good,
At the time of the first shooting, due to financial and technical problems,
Many classic pictures were not restored, and CCTV decided to shoot a sequel.
But at this time, the contradiction between director Yang Jie and the four masters and apprentices was still very serious.
For the audience, Sun Wukong, played by six young children, is the soul of the whole drama.
It is said that the six-year-old child does not want Yang Jie to direct a sequel.
After this news came out, many people stood on the side of director Yang Jie.
Think that the six-year-old child is ungrateful, and this "Journey to the West" can be called a divine work,
General sequels are inevitable to the fate of the dog-tailed sable,
It's hard to win the audience's approval, so no director dares to take on a sequel.
In the end, the director of "Journey to the West Sequel" is still Yang Jie,
At that time, she was seventy years old, and her temper was still very stubborn,
He was also reluctant to cooperate with the four masters and apprentices.
But the six-year-old child and Chi Zhongrui are already too deeply rooted in the hearts of the people to replace,
In the end, Ma Dehua, who played the Eight Precepts of the Pig, and Yan Huaili, who played the sand monk, were replaced.
The failure of the four masters and apprentices to reunite in the sequel also became a major regret.
However, the "Journey to the West Sequel" did not achieve the desired effect,
Although there have been upgrades in terms of special effects, costumes and other aspects,
But the audience still likes the old version of "Journey to the West", and Ma Dehua is still the eight precepts of the pig in memory.
This drama has made the four masters and apprentices also destroyed the four masters and apprentices,
Whether it is a six-year-old child, Chi Chongrui, or Ma Dehua, Yan Huaili,
They are all frozen in the Journey to the West, and there are no other masterpieces,
And no matter what film and television works they appear in, they always make the audience jump.
Most of Ma Dehua's later works are related to the Eight Precepts of the Pig,
He has starred in a series of works such as "Wu Cheng'en and Journey to the West" and "Journey to the West True and False Monkey King".
At the end of each year, there will be various business performance invitations,
He was still asked to play the Eight Commandments of pigs and sing "Dare to Ask Where the Road Is".
Although six-year-old children have taken advantage of the heat to shoot many TV series,
But the image of Sun Wukong is too deeply rooted in people's hearts, and the audience still calls him Brother Monkey.
And every few years there will be nostalgic programs to ask the creator of "Journey to the West" to share the stage,
Reminisce about the funny things in the shooting together, set off a wave of memory killing,
Later in the same stage, Yang Jie and the four masters and apprentices also reconciled.
It was also a happy ending.
Later, Sha's disciple Yan Huaili became seriously ill and insisted on waiting until the other three brothers closed their eyes.
At that time, the first of the six children arrived and saw the last side of Master Sha's disciple.
Because of the traffic jam in Beijing, Ma Dehua was blocked on the road,
By the time he arrived, Master Sha had just died and had not yet closed his eyes.
Although this "Journey to the West" failed to bring Great Wealth and Nobility to Ma Dehua,
But it has become a label that he can't erase for a lifetime,
Later, he published an autobiography, the title of which was "Enlightenment", which was also the name of the Eight Precepts of the Pig.
In life, Ma Dehua and his wife are as loving as ever,
He often said that there was a monkey brother in the play, and there was a sister-in-waiting in the family.
But the couple still stumbles and stumbles, and sometimes they often fight.
Like all couples, the two just have to drive out together,
There will always be a quarrel all the way, one says so open, one says so open,
But these small things are also the adjustment of life, and the big things are always discussed.
Ma Dehua is not a romantic person, do not know how to send flowers and gifts to his wife,
But he has always been very considerate of his wife's silent support behind the scenes for many years.
And Ma Dehua and his wife have been married for 49 years, and there has never been a scandal,
Their son is also very low-key, and there is no son who has inherited his father's business and entered the show business.
Now Ma Dehua is 76 years old and still active on the screen,
In 19 years, he also sang the popular song "Calories" on the evening of Taichun in Shandong Province.
His spirited appearance is not old at all, and this year he has new movies coming out.
Compared with many actors, Ma Dehua has been very lucky,
With a masterpiece that can never be surpassed,
It has become a childhood memory for many viewers.
Maybe he didn't have a name remembered, but he was always the Eight Commandments of pigs.
