Mentioning the 86 version of "Journey to the West", I believe that many people are familiar with the plot in the TV series, and the names of the actors can almost be memorized backwards.
The six-year-old boy who played Sun Wukong, Yan Huaili who played the sand monk, Ma Dehua who played the Eight Precepts of the Pig...
When mentioning the Tang monks in "Journey to the West", netizens may have some controversy, some think That Xu Shaohua is good, and some think that it is Chi Chongrui. However, it is certain that the less discussed by everyone is Wang Yue.
Comparatively speaking, Wang Yue is the most miserable Tang monk in the 86th edition of Journey to the West.
1.
If you look at it from that year, Wang Yue is lucky.
Director Yang Jie looked everywhere for the actor of Tang Monk, and the actor was selected based on the description of Tang Monk's appearance in the original "Journey to the West": Rin Wei Wei Was elegant, good looking, and handsome.
At that time, Wang Yue had not yet graduated from the Beijing Film Academy, and Yang Jie went to the school to select people, and at a glance, she took a fancy to Wang Yue. Before filming, Yang Jie also asked Wang Yue to shave his head, put on a monk's robe, and go to a monastery to experience life.
In the early 1980s, it was not easy to make a film and television drama, let alone a TV series remade from a classic masterpiece.
The "Journey to the West" crew first filmed the "Trial Collection of The Demon Black Chicken Country" for experts to see, and the experts put forward some views on some actors including Wang Yue, including the six-year-old children, and felt that it was somewhat inappropriate: the six-year-old children did not know how to act, and they did not know where to look on the stage...
Fortunately, Yang Jie insisted on her choice, saying: They are all young people, they can't be replaced at once, and I believe that they will be better and better.
Wang Yue also lived up to the trust and grew up very fast. When filming the scene of "Three Dozen White Bone Essences" driving away Sun Wukong, tears swirled in his eyes, successfully expressing the emotions of being reluctant to catch Up with Sun Wukong and having to catch up, and impressing Yang Jie with his acting skills.
Wang Yue also made a contribution to "Journey to the West", that is, the design modified the five Buddha crowns worn on the head of the Tang monks.
Wang Yue's father was a dancer, and he liked to draw since he was a child. After attending the Beijing Film Academy, he and his classmate Zhang Tielin drew in the dormitory. When playing the Tang monk, he found that the crown of the five Buddhas was uncomfortable to wear, and coupled with his previous experience of life in the monastery, he redesigned it.
Unfortunately, as the first Tang monk, Wang Yue did not persist.
Why leave the "Journey to the West" crew?
Because at this time, Wang Yue encountered another movie to come to him to play a small technician, Wang Yue wanted to take care of both sides. But the character in that movie has hair, so Wang Yue put on a hat and shaved the hair on the outside of the hat to make the hair in the hat grow out.
To this end, he was also jokingly called "pot helmet monk" by the crew.
Director Yang Jie is unwilling: if you want to get me this thing, just concentrate on it, and I must not have two hearts here. (Compared with now, actors rolling can be said to be a very common thing)
At this time, Wang Yue was a little hesitant and did not know how to deal with it.
One of his teachers suggested that he go to the movie, because after playing the Tang monk, it is easy to stereotype, and the future drama path will become narrower.
For the sake of future considerations, Wang Yue followed the advice of his teacher and left the crew of "Journey to the West".
2.
After coming out of the "Journey to the West" crew, in order to try various possibilities for himself, Wang Yue participated in the thriller "Lonely Ridge Wild Shop", the police film "The Great Roundup", the biographical film "Peng Dehuai in the Third Line", etc., but unfortunately none of them starred, and none of them could be remembered.
You know, the role of Tang Monk in "Journey to the West" is second only to Sun Wukong.
Zhou turned around for many years, and Wang Yue, who was worried that playing Tang Monk was easy to stereotype and affect his future drama path, still returned to the role of Tang Monk.
At the end of 2016, the movie "Money Fans" held a launch conference.
Although the movie "Money Fan" has nothing to do with Journey to the West, the starring and promotional gimmicks all carry a strong "Journey to the West" brand.
In addition to the six-year-old child and Wang Yue, Ma Dehua, who played the Eight Precepts of the Pig in "Journey to the West", and Liu Dagang, the actor of the second sha monk, will also appear in this movie.
Unfortunately, 4 years later, the audience still can't see the movie.
Since 2018, the official Weibo has maintained the frequency of updating an irrelevant content every year to prove that it is not a zombie number.
In 2017, the six-year-old announced that the film "Xuanzang Journey to the West" directed by the director was about to start, and Wang Yue starred in Xuanzang.
This film, which tells the historical events of Xuanzang's westward journey, is said to strictly restore the historical Route of Xuanzang's passage, and there will also be some classic plots in "Journey to the West".
The film not only has the same starring cast as "Money Fans", but even the current situation is the same: this film that makes six-year-old children "very confident, let everyone sit still, see it, and think about it after watching it", and later it is also gone.
There are very few introductions to this movie on the Internet, and most of the people who can be searched are hundreds of pulpit programs of the same name.
In the costume myth movie "Wukong", which was announced at the end of last year, Wang Yue still played Tang Monk. I don't know if this time, the 65-year-old can get rid of the mystery of the above two movies.
3.
Wang Yue went to act in the movie, and Yang Jie let Xu Shaohua, who was supposed to play the white dragon horse, save the scene.
After shooting 8 episodes, Xu Shaohua's unit and the "Journey to the West" crew contract expired, and he was admitted to college and busy with further study, Yang Jie found Chi Chongrui to save the scene.
In the fourth year of the broadcast of "Journey to the West", Chi Chongrui married Chen Lihua, who was once China's richest man and eleven years older.
Although when Wang Yue participated in the program, Yang Jie's husband and photographer Wang Chongqiu of "Journey to the West" came forward to explain that Wang Yue and the director did not have a disagreement, but there is an indisputable fact that after the broadcast of "Journey to the West" for 8 years, Yang Jie took the original team to shoot the "Journey to the West Sequel", Xu Shaohua and Chi Chongrui had a role, but there was no Wang Yue.
As an aside, when Zhu Jun hosted "Art Life" in 2004, he invited three Tang monks to share the stage.
Chi Chongrui said that this was the first time he had seen Wang Yue.
Although Wang Yue was the first Tang monk to play, whenever everyone discussed Tang Monk, he would either not be mentioned or the last to be mentioned. Instead of playing a role from beginning to end like a six-year-old child, Wang Yue also said: I am very sorry.
In fact, from a longitudinal point of view, Wang Yue's experience is very common in the entertainment industry, and there are many people who are worried that the role is stereotyped and always want to try different types.
Of course, this is not to encourage everyone to eat the old book. However, it is actually a very difficult thing to play a role thoroughly and clearly.
As Xiao Bailong in "Journey to the West" said: Thank you very much director Yang Jie, he has acted in more than fifty plays, many of which are still male number one, but only Xiao Bailong has always been remembered by everyone. I sincerely agree with the saying that there are no small roles, only small actors.
There are no small roles, only small actors.
How many people have been poked in this sentence?
