Speaking of Journey to the West, the most memorable must be the 1986 version of "Journey to the West", with vivid modeling and superb acting skills.
Among them, the most popular is not only the four masters and apprentices in the protagonist group, but also the Guanyin Bodhisattva played by Zuo Dabin.
Zuo Dajun's Guanyin Bodhisattva has not been surpassed by anyone so far and has become a classic in everyone's hearts.
After Zuo Dajun played Guanyin Bodhisattva, some things often happened around him that he couldn't explain.
How did Zuo Dajun get in touch with Guanyin Bodhisattva?What strange things have she been through?
Love opera. Zuo Dabin has studied Hunan opera since he was a child, and his child labor skills are excellent. Whether standing or sitting, he is very stylish.
It is precisely because of my skills since I was a child that when I played the role of Guanyin Bodhisattva, I was able to show the majesty, compassion, and universal temperament of the Bodhisattva.
The reason why Zuo Dabin was able to learn Hunan opera was influenced by his mother, because Zuo Dabin's mother Zheng Fuqiu was a very famous Hunan opera actor at that time.
Many parents want their children to carry on their legacy, especially when they are successful in their fields.
Zheng Fuqiu is so famous in local Hunan opera, but when it comes to whether children should learn Hunan opera, he has a negative attitude.
Zheng Fuqiu was born at an early age. Although he made some achievements in Hunan opera at that time, the actors who sang in the opera at that time were all called low-level actors and were not very respected.
After the founding of the People's Republic of China, although everyone was equal, the unfair treatment he had received in the past could not be shaken off in Zheng Fuqiu's heart for a long time.
Therefore, Zheng Fuqiu really didn't want her daughter to go her own way. In the future, being a teacher or a worker will be more honorable than your own work.
What Zheng Fuqiu didn't expect was that Zuo Dajun had a clear voice since he was a child and liked to sing. Every time the neighbors heard Zuo Dabin singing, they praised him for inheriting Zheng Fuqiu's good genes.
Zheng Fuqiu just smiled and dealt with it, and didn't discuss this kind of thing with his friends and neighbors, but Zuo Dajun's talent and interest were there, and Zheng Fuqiu couldn't stop it.
Zuo Dabin loves Hunan opera very much. He has a still at home from his mother singing operas. She is beautiful and elegant, and her clothes are gorgeous and exquisite.
There is no place here that does not attract Zuo Dabin, and a seed was suddenly planted in her little heart, that is, she wants to become an excellent Hunan opera actor like her mother.
So when my mother was not at home, I learned singing from my mother, and I learned this technique very well.
Zheng Fuqiu once accidentally saw his daughter's imitation and was surprised. She knew her kids really enjoyed it.
So Zuo Dabin's mother told Zuo Dabin that it doesn't matter if he likes Hunan opera, but it should be regarded as a hobby, and he still has to find a respectable job in the future.
Zuo Dajun was still very young at the time and couldn't understand his mother's words, but he only knew that he could finally do what he liked.
Zuo Dabin was very happy in the process of learning Hunan opera. As Zuo Dabin grew up, he understood that his love for Hunan opera was irresistible, and he must learn Hunan opera in the future.
Although Zheng Fuqiu was unwilling, he didn't want the child to be discouraged, so he said that if Zuo Dabin could be admitted to the Provincial Hunan Opera Troupe, he would fully support Zuo Dabin in the future.
When Zuo Dabin heard this, he was overjoyed, so he practiced hard every day, and there was no room for failure when he was admitted to the Provincial Hunan Opera Troupe.
With the idea that there was no way out, Zuo Dabin practiced harder and went well. Zuo Dabin successfully passed the exam.
Zuo Dabin's dream has been half realized. The life of the troupe is full of various experiences every day, and he has also grown in practice.
Zuo Dabin's Hunan opera level is getting higher and higher, not inferior to Zheng Fuqiu. Zuo Dabin also met with the great leader during the troupe's performance
The two have become friends year after year, which is also Zuo Dabin's biggest gain in his Hunan opera career and even in his life.
The second biggest achievement in life is getting acquainted with director Yang Jie and starring in the role of Guanyin Bodhisattva in "Journey to the West".
1 in 10,000. When preparing for "Journey to the West", director Yang Jie carefully selected the main characters and tried his best to find the most suitable person for the role.
Yang Jie didn't have too many worries when choosing the actor to play Guanyin Bodhisattva, because in Yang Jie's eyes, there was already a perfect candidate.
Some time ago, director Yang Jie met a Guanyin Bodhisattva of Hunan opera at work. This Guanyin Bodhisattva directly left a deep impression on director Yang Jie.
It turned out that Zuo Dabin's Hunan Opera Troupe was selected by ** TV Station to record opera programs, and Zuo Dabin was one of the Hunan Opera actors.
At that time, Zuo Dabin was already an excellent Hunan opera actor and won various awards. In this play, he was assigned an important task, which was to play the role of Avalokiteshvara.
Zuo Dabin, who has many years of experience, performed very well in this performance and received applause from the audience. What she didn't know was that there were still people behind her who remembered her.
Director Yang Jie was also present. After watching Zuo Dajun's performance, I feel that Zuo Dajun is not acting Guanyin Bodhisattva, but she is!
Director Yang Jie secretly made up his mind that if one day he wanted to shoot a play about Guanyin Bodhisattva, he would definitely ask Zuo Dabin to play this role.
It didn't take long for this idea to come true, because director Yang Jie took over the "Journey to the West" project not long ago.
So when I chose the role of Guanyin Bodhisattva, I directly thought of the previous Zuo Dajun, and asked the staff to contact Zuo Dajun immediately and ask her to try this role.
Zuo Dabin was very surprised when he received the notice, so he hurriedly prepared and went to the audition location of director Yang Jie.
When it was time to audition, when Zuo Dabin dressed up and appeared in front of Director Yang Jie, she knew that she had made the right decision.
He immediately decided that Zuo Dajun was the most suitable candidate for Guanyin Bodhisattva. There is no one more suitable than the Left Army.
When director Yang Jie was still looking for a suitable actor, there were objections. Some people object to Zuo Dabin playing Guanyin Bodhisattva.
At that time, Li Chengru was not satisfied after seeing Zuo Dajun's Guanyin Bodhisattva. It's not that Zuo Dabin is not performing well, but that he is worried about Zuo Dabin's age.
Zuo Dajun was indeed quite old at that time. In Li Chengru's eyes, Guanyin Bodhisattva should be a young and beautiful woman.
So after seeing such a Guanyin Bodhisattva, I discussed the age of Guanyin Bodhisattva with Director Yang Jie.
Director Yang Jie believes that a person can become Guanyin Bodhisattva, and the indispensable thing is temperament. If you don't have a temperament, no matter how beautiful you are, it's useless.
Zuo Dajun not only has compassion for all sentient beings, but also has the majesty of a bodhisattva. This kind of detached temperament is not something that ordinary people can have.
can't lose such an important thing because of his own **, so at the insistence of director Yang Jie, Zuo Dabin successfully played the role of Guanyin Bodhisattva.
Zuo Dabin is very grateful to Director Yang Jie for his trust. In order to live up to this trust, Zuo Dabin worked hard to play this role well.
First of all, before the action, Zuo Dajun collected information about Guanyin Bodhisattva everywhere and had a complete understanding of Guanyin Bodhisattva.
Prior to this, Zuo Dajun did not believe in Buddhism and did not have any religious beliefs, but in order to better find inspiration to play the role of Guanyin Bodhisattva, she began to learn about Buddhism.
Through the study of Buddhist knowledge and practice, I have discovered through my own experience that the most important thing in Guanyin is compassion and majesty.
These two simple words are difficult to express because compassion and compassion are generally opposites. The performance of both tests the actor's comprehension and acting ability.
This was a big challenge for Zuo Dajun, so she cheekily consulted professionals and gained a deeper understanding of Guanyin Bodhisattva.
After such a long period of study, Zuo Dajun has his own understanding of the image of Guanyin Bodhisattva. Coupled with years of performance experience, this bodhisattva image came out like this.
Zuo Dajun's Avalokiteshvara Bodhisattva was undoubtedly a success. This is not only due to the insight of director Yang Jie, but also to Zuo Dajun's sincerity, dedication and hard work.
After the broadcast of "Journey to the West", it immediately received a huge response, and every family waited for the broadcast of this TV series at a fixed time.
The crew of "Journey to the West" is also famous all over the streets. Whether it is Guanyin Bodhisattva, the four masters and apprentices, the Jade Emperor Buddha, or even the little people Benpo Erba and Babo Erben, they are all firmly remembered by everyone.
Therefore, many programs like to invite the crew of "Journey to the West" to be interviewed by the program and share some interesting things that happened during the filming.
In an interview, Zuo Dajun told about some strange things he encountered during and after filming. The reasons for this have not yet been fully explained.
Strange things happen all the time.
When filming "Journey to the West", many actors recalled the bad weather and environment the most, which added a lot of difficulty to the filming.
Especially the cold and heavy rain is not only a torture for the actors, but also makes the filming very inconvenient, and the lens and the filming process will be affected.
In the memories of the actors at that time, everyone shivered in the cold wind, and the cold air was pervasive, and they couldn't wait to get into everyone's bones.
When Zuo Dajun arrived at the scene, he was dressed in white, and his ornate accessories shone slightly in the sun. These rays eventually became the foil for the Left Army.
With the appearance of the Left Army, the originally harsh and gloomy weather slowly turned into sunny weather. The dark clouds slowly dispersed to both sides, and the bright sun shone over the set.
As the sun shone on, the whole set was not as cold as before, and the temperature gradually warmed up, making everyone present feel much more comfortable.
When Zuo Dabin was filming, he often said that as long as Zuo Dabin was filming, the weather would be fine.
When it was raining on the set and everyone was worried about the follow-up shooting, Zuo Dabin came to the scene in that costume again and prepared to shoot.
Suddenly, the sky cleared, in stark contrast to the drizzle and dark clouds that had been before. The bright sunshine hit Zuo Dabin's body, as if Guanyin Bodhisattva really appeared and came to the set**Everyone.
This kind of thing happens often, which makes everyone involuntarily think that there is a mysterious force blessing the crew. Whether it is a coincidence or due to the weather, good weather is undoubtedly beneficial for the filming of the TV series.
There are many more such things here, and Zuo Dabin has an additional title, that is, "Lady Luck". As long as Zuo Dabin arrives on the set, more or less good things will happen.
After the broadcast of "Journey to the West", Zuo Dabin encountered endless things, and the occurrence of these things also made Zuo Dabin feel very scared.
After Zuo Dabin finished filming "Journey to the West", she had a heartfelt respect for Guanyin, so she planned to invite a statue of Guanyin to be enshrined at home.
So after choosing a time, I went to a nearby temple to prepare for the ceremony. But as soon as I entered the temple gate, something unexpected happened.
As soon as Zuo Dajun entered everyone's sight, he was recognized. At this time, someone shouted, "Avalokiteshvara is here!"”
This sentence made everyone's eyes turn to Zuo Dabin. For a while, everyone who walked looked at Zuo Dabin, and the person who burned incense directly turned to worship Zuo Dabin.
Zuo Dabin was overwhelmed by this battle. In order not to disturb the order of the temple, Zuo Dabin hurriedly left the temple.
Although Zuo Dajun said that he was frightened by such a thing, it also showed everyone's respect for Guanyin Bodhisattva and recognition of his acting skills.
Such emotions also affected Zuo Dabin. She believes that as an actor, you must be respectful, dedicated, and worthy of the role you play.
One of my personalities is not just a cold word, it is the belief of many people, and it is the future that many people are optimistic about.
So you have to take it seriously when performing, especially the important positive roles. This is both a sign of respect for the role and an explanation of oneself.
After Zuo Dabin participated in "Journey to the West" and its sequel, he did not stop at the role of Guanyin.
She also has her own lifelong Hunan opera career. She returned to Hunan opera and continued to pursue her dreams. This is also one of the charms of Zuo Dabin, who has not forgotten his original intention.
Do everything well, do your best, do your best, don't be arrogant or impatient after success, learn to reflect on yourself, and become a better person.
Such a person with good conduct and hard work is completely worthy of everyone's love for Zuo Dabin, and also worthy of the various awards he has won over the years.
Conclusion. Zuo Dajun's story also tells us that as long as we are worthy of ourselves and our careers, success will naturally await us ahead.
Don't be too greedy. Although Zuo Dajun's most classic role in the film and television industry is only Guanyin Bodhisattva, this has made many people remember her.
I hope that Zuo Dajun can be healthy and safe.
