"Journey to the West" crew filming work from 82 to 88 years, the previous film and television drama production did not rely on any green screen, are live-action shooting, in order to shoot, in order to shoot, the domestic except for the Tibet Autonomous Region outside the scenic spots have been to the crew. As a result, Teacher Zuo Da Yue got a different opportunity from ordinary pilgrims to get close to the statues of Guanyin Bodhisattvas all over the country.
The role of Guanyin Bodhisattva actually does not play much in the play, but it is recognized by the whole crew as the most difficult role to play well. Because the Buddha statues have been seen by ordinary people, if the performance is not "true", the audience will see it at a glance. Therefore, during the 6 years of filming "Journey to the West", every time he went to a place, Teacher Zuo Dayu would find time to visit Guanyin Bodhisattva at the local temple.
At that time, Teacher Zuo Dayue did not believe in Buddhism, and in order to imitate the demeanor and movements of Guanyin Bodhisattva, Teacher Zuo Dayu looked at nearly 10,000 Guanyin statues. From imitation to creation, from comparison to improvement, Teacher Zuo Dayue gained inspiration from his observation of the statue. Because of the immersion in the conception, it is often unconsciously spent half a day in front of the statue, and it seems to be settled without saying a word.
Since then, a lot of things have happened to the "Journey to the West" crew that are difficult to explain with common sense. Some people say that Teacher Zuo Da Yue and Guanyin Bodhisattva have telepathy; others say that Teacher Zuo Dayu is a person who is cared for by Guanyin Bodhisattva; some people say that Teacher Zuo Dayu was possessed by Guanyin Bodhisattva when performing. It is said to be superstition, and it seems that it is not superstition at all.
At that time, the most divine actor in the crew was her, as long as she changed into the costume of Guanyin Bodhisattva, strange things followed, and the filming location was often sunny and rainy, and the director cried bitterly. But as long as you shoot the scene of Guanyin Bodhisattva, as if there is a force in the underworld, it will be clear immediately! Do you say this is strange? Many people think that it is a bodhisattva who is manifesting.
Once I went to Chengdu Qingyang Palace to shoot, and when I arrived in Chengdu, it was still a cloudy day, and the weather was also very cold. But the script requires that it must be filmed on a sunny day, and everyone is waiting for the sun. Director Yang Jie joked with Teacher Zuo: "Guanyin Bodhisattva is about to appear, don't be cloudy, come out of the sun!" Teacher Zuo folded his hands and recited ,"Nam no Guanyin Bodhisattva..." It didn't take long for the day to really clear.
In the scene where Guanyin saves ginseng fruit trees in Wuzhuangguan, the director first filmed Sun Wukong's scene, and the weather was wet and cold, and it was freezing. After filming Goku, the director shouted Guanyin to play, and the sun immediately came out. After filming Teacher Zuo's scene, the sky was overcast again. Teacher Zuo once summed up the rules on the show: "As long as you shoot the scene of Guanyin Bodhisattva, it is basically a sunny day." ”
One year, the crew went to Wuyi Mountain to shoot, only to settle down, the day began to rain, it rained for many days, and it was dark when going out. Director Yang Jie was worried, and he really couldn't drag it down: tomorrow you must shoot, and when the rain is less wet, you must shoot! The next day, everyone put on makeup and waited to play, and Teacher Zuo's makeup that day was more complicated, ranking last.
The makeup artist joked with Teacher Zuo: "Bodhisattva, how are you not working today!" As a result, Teacher Zuo was together, and before he could get out of the pavilion, the rain stopped. The director hurriedly filmed the scene of Tang Monk, and only a little while later, the rain fell again. When it came to filming the scene of Guanyin, Teacher Zuo secretly thought: I wear so little, won't this shower be thorough? As I thought about it, I walked outside, and the rain stopped again.
After experiencing these things, everyone felt that Teacher Zuo Dayue might really have something to do with Guanyin Bodhisattva, and how to do it specifically, Teacher Zuo himself did not figure it out, but it was such a god! Another time in Mount Emei, the light rain poured down non-stop. Teacher Zuo put on his costume, and as soon as he got on the field, the rain stopped and the sun came out. Everyone thinks she's a god!
The Guanyin Bodhisattva played by Teacher Zuo Da Yue is solemn and solemn, and in the hearts of many ordinary people, she is Guanyin Bodhisattva. At that time, when they were out on location, many viewers rushed to the filming site from afar, shouting that they wanted to see Guanyin Bodhisattva, and some of them knelt down to worship teacher Zuo when they saw him, but they couldn't help it, and they couldn't explain it, because these audiences were not convinced.
For example, in the Filming Site of Kunming, an uncle took his children to drive dozens of miles to see the film, saw Teacher Zuo, suddenly fell to his knees, and shouted: "Great Joy and Great Pessimism Bodhisattva, bless my son." Teacher Zuo explained with a smile: "I am just an actor. The uncle just couldn't turn the corner: "You play guanyin, you are the reincarnation of Guanyin." ”
The various adventures in the process of filming "Journey to the West" made Teacher Zuo Dayue, who did not believe in Buddhism before, slowly begin to believe that he had a Buddha's fate. Teacher Zuo went to Changsha Kaifu Temple in civilian clothes to offer incense, and was seen by the pilgrims, who excitedly shouted: "Guanyin apparition!" Then he bowed down to him. The scene was crowded for a while, and for everyone's safety, Teacher Zuo could only leave in a hurry.
"Journey to the West" has been broadcast for many years, but the audience is still rave reviews. The Avalokiteshvara played by Teacher Zuo Da Yue is even more deeply rooted in people's hearts and is considered insurmountable. Some people say that Teacher Zuo Dayu's painstaking efforts to play Guanyin Bodhisattva are promoting the Dharma for Buddhism, and so many accidents are actually bodhisattvas who are enlightening people with Buddhahood to the inevitable.
