Journey to the West is broadcast once a year in summer, leading many new and old audiences to re-enter the fantastic mythological world and appreciate the charm of China traditional culture.
The Journey to the West in the last century only existed in operas and novels, but it didn't really make it to the screen. 1986, The Journey to the West directed by Yang Jie was born, which caused great repercussions. At that time, television was not so popular.
In order to watch this wonderful TV series, many netizens go to the homes of people who have televisions. This drama can get such a high evaluation, except that all the characters in the drama are classic, whether it is the Monkey King Pig Bajie or Tathagata Guanyin, they all interpret the drama perfectly with professional acting and serious attitude, which is also attributed to director Yang Jie.
Looking back on this drama today, the characters in the TV series The Journey to the West are all classic, both the leading role and the supporting role are very successful, but in fact, the filming was very difficult from the beginning, during which many short stories happened. Fortunately, Yang Jie didn't give up and worked hard to promote the filming of this drama, otherwise we might not see this Journey to the West.
When filming this drama, after all, it was directed by four classical novels and Yang Jie, with a serious and responsible attitude, very strict casting and strict requirements for actors. After the actors such as the Monkey King, Tang Priest and Friar Sand were identified, the filming was just around the corner, but Pig Bajie didn't determine the candidate.
Director Yang Jie was anxious to find someone everywhere. Although the role of Pig Bajie is not the absolute protagonist in Journey to the West, the Monkey King is the biggest part, but in the play, the role of Pig Bajie has a comedy effect, which is very pleasing. Most audiences like funny and humorous characters, so if there is no Pig Bajie, this Journey to the West will be less fun, so the candidate for the role of Pig Bajie is very important.
Yang Jie, the hard-working director, finally found an actor after visiting more than half of the famous theaters, but missed it for some reason. What happened?
Director Yang Jie found an actor who played Pig Bajie. Sun Guiyuan is a Beijing Opera actor with a solid foundation. After seeing him, Director Yang Jie decided that the role of Pig Bajie was his at a glance because his image was more in line with the requirements of Director Yang Jie.
I believe that older people are familiar with this name. At that time, Sun Guiyuan was very famous in Beijing Opera and was the pillar of China Peking Opera Theatre. Therefore, China Peking Opera Theatre rejected Yang Jie after seeing his important director.
At that time, Sun Guiyuan was very skillful and asked him to play Pig Eight Rings, and he was not the biggest protagonist. I was afraid that Sun Guiyuan would be reluctant to part, so Sun Guiyuan missed the role of Pig Bajie. Director Yang Jie felt very sorry, but there was nothing he could do. Tv dramas always have to start shooting, and director Yang Jie can only find someone else.
It is said that when Ma Dehua came for an interview, Director Yang Jie looked down on him. At that time, Ma Dehua was thin, and the role of Pig Bajie needed a slightly fatter person to play.
However, Ma Dehua kept showing his acting skills and talents to Director Yang Jie, as well as his understanding of Journey to the West. His persistence and sincerity moved Director Yang Jie, and finally the role of Pig Bajie was settled, played by Ma Dehua!
Later, in Journey to the West, it was proved that Ma Dehua really lived to play Pig Bajie, and it was also proved that Teacher Ma Dehua really had a fate with the role of Pig Bajie. Ma Dehua actually suffered a lot when filming Journey to the West.
When the crew started shooting, his wife was ill and hospitalized. In order to make a good film in Ma Dehua, she knew that the role of Ma Dehua was precious, so she told Ma Dehua not to worry about herself. It's much more difficult to shoot in The Journey to the West than to go to the Western Heaven to learn eighty-one.
The shooting conditions are limited, there are not many seats, and the actors need to keep running. Other roles are much easier than the role of Pig Bajie. Ma Dehua, the role of Pig Bajie, wears the costume of Pig Bajie, which weighs more than 50 kilograms, and the nine-tooth iron rake in his hand also weighs dozens of kilograms. No matter whether the weather is hot or cold, he must take the fake props of Pig Bajie.
It was six years in one shot, and I spent six spring and autumn periods with the Monkey King, Friar Sand and Tang Priest. No matter how difficult it was, Mr. Ma Dehua persisted, because before joining the group, he told Director Yang Jie that he would definitely play the role of Pig.
Although director Yang Jie missed Sun Guiyuan in The Journey to the West TV series, Ma Dehua was chosen by fate, and Ma Dehua successfully fulfilled his promise. Superman unexpectedly played the role of a pig.
I believe everyone knows what the main characters in The Journey to the West suffered during the filming. In today's society, many people are far from feeling this way. If you put it in that era, how long can you last?
Ma Dehua, who weighs nearly 100 Jin, runs back and forth on the set and can't even unload his equipment at rest. In order to make up again, he can only do this to save time. Fame and fortune are unknown to Ma Dehua. All he wants is to live up to every role.
The Journey to the West, a classic TV series, also successfully broke the viewing record and created the viewing myth. This TV series has become an unsurpassed classic, which has influenced several generations. No matter how innovative the current TV series is, it can also make a TV series stand for decades.
It can be seen that the efforts behind them are enormous, and actors like Mr. Ma Dehua deserve the title of artist. Thanks to their efforts, they brought us the best childhood memories!
I don't know what you think of the role of Ma Dehua's teacher Zhu Bajie. Does he play vividly? Welcome to leave a comment below!
