In 1985, Zhu Longguang played "Rulai" during the filming of "Journey to the West" and encountered a major incident.
Zhu Longguang was sitting on the lotus throne filming, and suddenly a large group of people rushed in from outside the crew.
originally thought that they were here to watch the drama, but no one expected that they would actually bring their whole family to Zhu Longguang's front and line up one after another, asking him to perform a ceremony for their children.
Gently touch your child's arms, cheeks, etc.
Zhu Longguang was very embarrassed by this incident, but he did not want to destroy the light in their hearts.
Fortunately, Director Yang Jie arrived in time.
Zhu Longguang initially thought that Director Yang Jie was here to help him solve the dilemma, but he didn't expect her to sit directly next to him and ask for a group photo, and kept praising "like, too similar".
These things happened to Zhu Longguang more than once.
He had traveled to Thailand and had planned to buy some commemorative coins, but was surprised to find that many of the commemorative coins in the store were engraved with his own portrait.
Not only that, but some people even bow deeply when they see him, or pay homage.
While these situations may seem incredible, they also reflect another scenario from an indirect perspective.
Zhu Longguang's acting skills deeply moved the audience and left a deep impression on the role of Rulai.
However, when Yang Jie first found Zhu Longguang to star in "Journey to the West", no one could have imagined that in fact he was unwilling in his heart.
Fortunately, with the support of his wife and daughter, he finally strengthened his mind.
What is the situation of Zhu Longguang, an old man who is nearly ninety years old?
Zhu Longguang was born in 1939 in Xi'an, Shaanxi Province.
Little Zhu Longguang showed perseverance from an early age, he was fascinated by the great heroes on TV and longed to be one of them.
However, in that era, his dreams were greatly limited, and he was unable to achieve his own development due to the lack of adequate financial support.
Zhu Longguang made up his mind, calmed down and focused, and devoted himself to his studies and Xi with all his might.
He is well aware of the fact that only by studying hard and Xi can he achieve his future achievements.
If so, it has been proven.
One day, Zhu Longguang was reading in front of a bookstall in front of the school gate when he was stopped by a teacher.
The professor is from Lanzhou University of the Arts.
He thought that the child was full of heaven, with beautiful facial features, and read books very attentively. As long as you develop self-confidence, you may be able to become a great actor.
The teacher asked Zhu Longguang: "Child, are you willing to try the road of art and go to Lanzhou Art Institute to take the exam?" ”
Zhu Longguang was still a little vague about the concept of art at that time.
The other party said that he could try to play some heroic roles, which made him feel a strong passion in his heart.
He decided not to give up the opportunity and immediately went home to discuss the matter with his family.
At the beginning, Zhu Longguang's parents were not satisfied with his choice of this industry, and they did not want him to become an actor.
However, in the face of his son's entanglement, he couldn't resist it in the end, so he could only reluctantly agree.
After entering the Lanzhou Academy of Arts, Zhu Longguang showed a very neat performance, he ranked among the best in both cultural and art classes, and can be said to be a "role model".
Many people claim that people who are good at Xi are under pressure, but this is not the case with Zhu Longguang, who is full of enthusiasm and motivation in his heart.
Even if he can't be a real hero, he wants to play the role of a hero and become a big hero.
Soon, he ushered in the first energetic role in his life, that is, the actor Zhao Dakang in the movie "Descending the Dragon and Conquering the Tiger".
He played the leading role for the first time, and he gained a lot, which can be described as a full return.
He won the honor of the first prize of the National Young Actor, which was realized only shortly after the release of the film.
Then, the movie "Tunnel War" came out later.
Bayi Studios cooperated with the Engineer Art Troupe to jointly prepare for the filming of the movie "Tunnel War" in 1963.
After learning the news, Zhu Longguang immediately signed up to participate.
He aspires to play the role of Gao Chuanbao, because in his heart, this role represents a heroic image of heroism, might and patriotism.
However, there was another actor named Daniel Zhang at that time, who was also one of the candidates, not the only choice.
The two have similar temperaments, and both have accumulated acting experience.
The director is now bothered by this.
However, the director's mind was struck by an incident.
Zhu Longguang had a somewhat impulsive temper at that time, and he was most disgusted by others pointing fingers at him.
At that time, Zhu Longguang and a few people were trying out the play, and suddenly some people came over and lectured them.
Zhu Longguang immediately felt dissatisfied, and when he saw this scene, he directly whispered: "This is just like a teacher educating students." If we act well, we won't feel preached. ”
This sentence happened to subtly reach the ears of the director.
The director originally planned to criticize him, but suddenly found that he had some similarities with the character Gao Chuanbao, so he decided to choose him on the spot!
Tunnel Warfare set off a national sensation upon its release, and the 2,800 copies produced by Bayi Studios were in short supply. The film was released in 1966.
The movie was a great success, and the starring Zhu Longguang was also popular all over the country.
At the same time, Zhu Longguang was also given a new name - "Gao Chuanbao".
Since then, whenever Zhu Longguang is recognized on the street, he will hear shouts like "Lao Gao, Lao Gao".
At first, Zhu Longguang didn't realize that they were calling him, and he didn't react until later, which made him feel a little crying and laughing.
He never expected that the role of Gao Chuanbao would go deep into the hearts of the audience.
However, what surprised him the most was that there were quite a few women who regarded Gao Chuanbao as his own and courted him one after another.
Zhu Longguang once went to a restaurant to eat, and just after eating a few bites of food with chopsticks, he saw a girl with a shy expression walking towards him.
Zhu Longguang didn't care about it until the girl sat in front of him.
Zhu Longguang looked at the woman in front of him suspiciously and asked, "Is there something wrong with you?" ”
When Zhu Longguang asked her, the girl's face blushed even more, she pursed her lips and handed him the letter in her hand, then turned around and ran away.
Zhu Longguang was still confused at the time, and when he opened the letter, he found that it turned out to be a love letter.
After he played the role of Gao Chuanbao, he received countless love letters, but he returned them all.
The reason why he did this was because he already had a heart, and this person was Wu Huifang.
When filming and selecting actors, Zhu Longguang and Wu Huifang met, but at that time they simply met and did not communicate.
Wu Huifang is outstanding, her eyes are clear and bright, and she has two playful braids, which are very charming.
Zhu Longguang had a good impression of her at a glance, and he very much wanted to communicate with Wu Huifang.
Zhu Long was discouraged, because Wu Huifang was 8 years younger than him at that time and was still a minor.
However, fate is often unbelievably wonderful.
When choosing the role of the "Tunnel War" movie, Zhu Longguang met Wu Huifang again.
Zhu Longguang's heart was ignited again, and he was ignorant at first.
He tried to communicate with Wu Huifang, initially under the pretext of discussing the script.
Wu Huifang said that she had no lines in the movie, just a small supporting role, and she felt that it was not appropriate to discuss the script.
Wu Huifang was worried that she would waste Zhu Longguang's time, after all, their status was very different, one was the protagonist and the other was a supporting role, Wu Huifang did not consider the emotional problem.
However, this is not Zhu Longguang's view.
It wasn't until Wu Huifang said this sentence that Zhu Longguang realized her true nature, and from that moment on, he firmly believed that she was a kind and good girl.
The uneasy emotion in my heart quietly rekindled a bright little flame.
Since then, Zhu Longguang has found Wu Huifang every day, using the excuse of discussing the script and improving her acting skills, and sometimes even cares about her in every way.
The relationship between the two gradually became a little ambiguous as time went on.
At first, Zhu Longguang was more active, but later the initiative was transferred to Wu Huifang.
Whenever Zhu Longguang was in the crew, Wu Huifang would always come to him with the script to ask him questions.
They get along very well.
However, as time went on, Zhu Longguang began to feel that the situation was becoming more and more strange.
The two of them can't stay friends forever, can they?
She took the initiative to ask him every time, does this mean that she also has some interest in herself?
Zhu Longguang was thoughtful, and he began to prepare to confess to Wu Huifang.
As soon as he finished filming "Tunnel War", he immediately found Wu Huifang and expressed his heart to her.
Wu Huifang was shocked by the other party's sincere overtures at that time, and hesitated for a while, not daring to agree immediately.
She felt that Zhu Longguang was 8 years older than her after all, and his status in the entertainment industry was much higher than her, so she felt that they were not suitable.
However, for things like love, in the end, you still have to follow the guidance of your heart.
After some hesitation, Wu Huifang thought carefully for a moment, and finally nodded in agreement.
When two people fall in love, it can be described that the whole world is surrounded by pink bubbles, whether it is small talk, dinner together, or going out, they hold each other's hands tightly.
They stared at each other, their eyes filled with deep love.
Perhaps because of their full love, the two decided to register their marriage in less than a year.
At that time, many people advised Wu Huifang to pay attention to Zhu Longguang, after all, talented and handsome men would receive the attention of many girls.
At that time, it was fashionable to say, "Men are two different people before and after marriage." "And.
For Wu Huifang, these two sentences are nothing.
Zhu Longguang has always maintained his true colors before and after marriage, and it can even be said that he loves Wu Huifang even more after marriage.
The two of them have been in love with each other for more than half a century, and Zhu Longguang has never let his wife cook, and he takes care of all the housework and cooking at home.
He believes that a daughter-in-law should be pampered.
Wu Huifang likes southern rice because she is a southerner.
Zhu Longguang, from Shaanxi, loves delicious noodles.
Everyone speculated that due to the disagreement between the two tastes, there would definitely be a conflict.
However, the opposite is true.
Although Zhu Longguang loves noodles, whenever he cooks, he always cooks a portion of rice and serves it to his wife.
can satisfy any appetite of his wife, and would rather be wronged than wronged by his wife.
At home, Wu Huifang is regarded by many as a little princess, perhaps because of Zhu Longguang's meticulous care of her.
Their three daughters were a little jealous when they saw their father treating their mother like this.
Of course, Wu Huifang was not idle. - Of course, Wu Huifang also did not have lazy time.
After her retirement, she assembled a team of fashion models consisting of six or seven gorgeously dressed old ladies, who often rehearsed and performed together to impress.
Occasionally, when I feel that the performance of a certain part is not satisfactory, I will discuss it with Zhu Longguang.
Occasionally, the couple would take time out to go downstairs for a walk together, holding hands, as if they had relived the sweetness of the time they were in love.
Every time they witnessed this scene, their daughter always sighed: "Mom is really blessed, both of them are already sixty or seventy years old, but they are still like a little couple." ”
Zhu Longguang is not only kind to his wife, but also enviable for his three daughters.
Many children are mischievous and naughty when they are young.
When many parents see their children being naughty, they often choose a harsh way to educate them, usually with a harsh stick education.
However, Zhu Longguang never touched a finger of his child.
He will even check his mistakes as soon as the child is naughty.
On a cold winter day, Zhu Longguang took his children out to play.
The father pushes the bicycle hard, while the daughter sits in the back seat.
The first time the little guy rode the bike, his little feet shook and fluttered.
Don't make a fuss, soon the car will get to your feet.
Zhu Longguang showed his father's majesty and said a word to his daughter to remind her.
The daughter was too young to obey at the time, and was still writhing her little feet and making trouble.
The next moment, the daughter suddenly stopped making noise, and then the crying continued.
Zhu Longguang hurriedly stopped the car, and as soon as he turned around, he saw his daughter's feet being caught in the wheels.
He hurriedly took off his daughter's shoes and checked the situation. Fortunately, my daughter was wearing suede shoes and was not injured.
However, Zhu Longguang felt deep remorse in his heart, thinking that he was very incompetent as a father, so he slapped himself three times on the street.
Zhu Longguang has always led by example, whether it is for his wife or daughter.
He always treats his family with gentleness and kindness, while he is always strict with himself.
Perhaps because of this, his three daughters are becoming more and more sensible, and they are looking for better than the other.
Zhu Longguang once said that his later life was very happy, and his three daughters never let him worry about it, and they were all very sensible. He was neatly dressed, but not a single garment or shoe had been bought by himself, all of them had been bought by his daughters.
The father's little padded jacket, the daughter said yes. Today's Zhu Longguang has three small padded jackets, which really makes him very happy.
Although Zhu Longguang's family life is very happy, his career has not been smooth sailing, and he has faced difficulties.
In order to prepare for the filming of the 1985 TV series "Journey to the West", director Yang Jie tried his best to find a suitable actor to play the role of "Rulai".
After some screening, I still couldn't find a suitable candidate.
Film makeup artist Wang Xizhong later contacted his old friend Zhu Longguang, hoping to invite him to star in "Journey to the West".
Zhu Longguang originally thought that he would be so happy that he was going to appear in one of the "Four Great Masterpieces", but unexpectedly, he had already refused before Wang Xizhong finished speaking.
The four masters and apprentices had already been determined at that time, and there were only some "bad" roles left, so he was reluctant to participate in the role.
He has always dreamed of being a big hero, after all, he has played positive roles in his works. So how could he change his mind so easily?
Zhu Longguang put forward this idea, Wang Xizhong subconsciously smiled, and explained: "I won't let you play a bad role if I look for you." ”
When Zhu Longguang heard this, his spirit immediately lifted up.
Originally, I planned to play the role of "Rulai".
Zhu Longguang was taken aback by this sentence again.
He was afraid that he would not be able to accurately grasp this great image, so he did not dare to play it.
It was the first time for Zhu Longguang to feel so unconfident in his career, but fortunately, his daughter and wife gave him encouragement.
His wife often encouraged him: "If you can play Gao Chuanbao in "Tunnel War" to the fullest, then you can also portray Rulai vividly." ”
Even the youngest daughter encouraged him, saying, "I love seeing my dad show his strong side." ”
With the encouragement of his daughter and wife, Zhu Longguang finally made up his mind to play Rulai.
Zhu Longguang has always been obsessed with roles, and he believes that in order to truly interpret a role, it must be performed to the fullest.
In order to get closer to the image of Nyolai, he often went to the temple to observe the statues, carefully observing their expressions and movements.
Wang Xizhong worked the other hand, trying to make Zhu Longguang's makeup closer to the original image.
In 1986, after the broadcast of "Journey to the West", people all over the country had the opportunity to see a lifelike image of "Rulai" with their own eyes.
Everyone understood the meaning of "Zhu Longguang's acting skills can only be controlled by him" at that moment.
Rulai played by Zhu Longguang, whether it is appearance, conversation or action, is very realistic.
Because Zhu Longguang's role of "Rulai" was vividly performed, many people even mistakenly thought that he was the real Rulai, and some people even came to worship.
Since then, the title of "Rulai" has become synonymous with Zhu Longguang.
Zhu Longguang's fame is even more international, especially when "Journey to the West" was replayed more than 3,000 times, setting a Guinness World Record.
Perhaps because this image is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, the image of Rulai appeared again in the later "Wu Chengen and Journey to the West" and "The Legend of the New White Lady".
In 2018, Zhu Longguang participated in Lantai TV's variety show "Ace vs. Ace".
At that time, it was questioned by many people, who believed that old artists should concentrate on creating instead of participating in variety shows.
Zhu Longguang's answer to this question was succinct: "As long as there is an invitation, I usually do not decline. As an actor, it's pretty good to be remembered and look back, so I don't set high expectations for myself. ”
Zhu Longguang is so indifferent to fame and fortune, low-key and humble, which is admirable.
As of 2022, Zhu Longguang has entered the age of 82.
He has achieved one brilliant achievement after another in his career, but he has never been proud of it.
He lived a low-key life, had a nonchalant attitude, and never brought an assistant with him when he traveled.
He was not interested in the sight of his assistants getting together, nor did he want to be surrounded by crowds, he only longed to enjoy life quietly.
He and his wife Wu Huifang have been in love for more than 50 years now, and the relationship between the two has always been sweet, like a young couple in love.
On the day of his 80th birthday, he also deliberately took a set of wedding photos with his wife, and the two looked harmonious and happy.
In today's society, many people may not be able to be consistent, or many people may not be able to be passionate about their significant other forever.
However, Zhu Longguang has done all this.
He cherished and cared for his wife.
He treated his three daughters with no violence.
Zhu Longguang once expressed this opinion: "Family is worthy of our love and cherishment, as long as you improve your attitude towards your family, there will be no worries to disturb you in the future." ”
Career is the foundation, and family is where it takes root.
Zhu Longguang has always adhered to the standard of working hard and caring for his family.
In this kind of life, there are no regrets in the end.
