In 1976, the filming plan of "Journey to the West" began to take shape, but when director Yang Jie selected the actors, it caused a sensation among the crew.
At that time, Li Chengru, who was a field manager, put forward some suggestions, but these suggestions angered the always mild-mannered director Yang Jie and triggered a shocking rebuke. This sudden storm made Li Chengru feel terrified, and he didn't expect his proposal to cause such a fierce **.
In fact, director Yang Jie usually has a gentle personality and has always been willing to accept the suggestions of actors. However, when she saw Zuo Daxue, Li Chengru's suggestion seemed to touch a certain sensitive point in the director's heart.
Li Chengru suggested finding a young and generous actress to play Guanyin Bodhisattva, thinking that Zuo Dajun looked ordinary. However, these words set off a storm in Yang Jie's heart, and she gave Li Chengru a public reprimand on the spot, without giving face at all.
It turned out that Yang Jie had a deep belief in Zuo Dajue's choice. In 1976, Zuo Daxue was also a young actor in the Hunan Provincial Xiang Theater, and she played the role of Guanyin Bodhisattva in the Hunan opera "Chasing the Fish".
This Hunan Provincial Xiang Theater recording party** is the first time Yang Jie met Zuo Dajue. Zuo Dajun devoted himself to the role of Guanyin Bodhisattva, in-depth study of performance techniques, and consulted a large number of ancient books in order to better understand and interpret this role.
Zuo Dajue's performance deeply moved director Yang Jie. After the recording, Yang Jie was excited, walked to Zuo Dajun, who was removing makeup, and expressed her inner shock. She promised Zuo Dajun that if there is a scene of filming Guanyin Bodhisattva in the future, she will definitely invite Zuo Dajun to perform.
This promise also became the reason why the crew of "Journey to the West" only had the role of Guanyin Bodhisattva. After many years, director Yang Jie fulfilled his promise and contacted Zuo Daxue, who has become the head of the first troupe of Hunan Xiang Theater.
This call surprised the 39-year-old Zuo Dajue, who couldn't believe that he could get such a warm invitation. Although she was a little unconfident about whether she could do the role, out of respect for the director, she decided to go for it.
When Zuo Daxue appeared in the crew in the shape of Guanyin Bodhisattva, everyone was amazed. In the face of Li Chengru's doubts, Zuo Dajue's performance made it impossible for everyone to deny that she was the Guanyin Bodhisattva in their hearts.
During the filming process, some incredible "strange things" even happened to the crew: whenever Zuo Daxue appeared, the sky would clear and the rain would stop and the clouds would disperse, as if her existence could dissolve all the haze.
This incredible experience became a good story on the shooting scene, and Zuo Dajun also left a legend in his acting career. In the interpretation of the role of Guanyin Bodhisattva, she showed outstanding acting skills and innate mysterious powers.
Every time I appear, it is like reaching some kind of tacit understanding with the natural world, which brings endless inspiration and energy to the entire shooting team.
This seemingly magical experience makes Zuo Dajue's acting career full of legends. In her performance in the role of Guanyin Bodhisattva, she not only won the trust of the director, but also won more praise for her talent in the field of Hunan opera. This ordinary and extraordinary actor, with her persistence and unique charm, has written an acting legend that cannot be ignored.
