If you want to talk about classic TV series, the 86 version of "Journey to the West" must be among them. In fact, looking at it now, there are many goofs in this drama, and the special effects are also very fake, but it has always been a special existence in the hearts of the audience.
It's just because this drama has shown the greatest sincerity under the conditions at that time. In the case of poor equipment, a group of people trekked through mountains and rivers, and the actors were selected by Director Yang Jie one by one.
Sincerity is nirvana, so in the face of such a sincere TV series, the audience will buy it.
Of course, when watching Journey to the West again, in addition to watching monkeys fight monsters, we will find that there are actually a lot of beauties with their own characteristics in the play, which really responds to the sentence "Fairies have the appearance of fairies, and fairies have the appearance of fairies".
No matter how big or small the actor is, in fact, he has a certain background, even if the actor who only appears for a few minutes, Director Yang Jie is not ambiguous at all.
Among them is an actress who is known as the most expensive actress in "Journey to the West". In that era when the starring Liu Xiaolingtong only got a salary of more than 2,000 yuan after filming the whole drama, Tang Seng's actor Xu Shaohua left the crew because he was paid 5 yuan less than his apprentice.
This actress has 20,000 yuan for transportation alone, which is a huge amount of money.
However, she only played three minutes. What kind of role is it that is worthy of such a toss by Director Yang Jie?
It turned out that she was Yin Wenjiao, the actor of Tang Seng's mother in the play.
Yin Wenjiao doesn't have many shots, but she is a very key character, after all, as Tang Seng's mother, she is the promoter of the story, so she has attracted much attention.
When choosing this role, Director Yang Jie made a difficulty.
Because in the original book, the description of Yin Wenjiao is like this:
The face is like a silver moon, the eyes are like autumn waves, the cherry is small, and the green willow waist is ......It has to be beautiful, slim, and stunning.
found a number of actresses to audition, and Director Yang Jie felt that this was not the Yin Wenjiao in his mind, until Director Yang Jie saw the Huangmei Opera actor - Ma Lan.
At that time, Ma Lan already had a certain fame, and she created an image of a handsome and dashing young man with the bridge of "The Female Concubine", and she was graceful and elegant in exchange for **, which coincided with the image of Yin Wenjiao in her heart.
So Director Yang Jie invited Ma Lan to play this role.
Who knows, Ma Lan didn't agree at first, she was obsessed with Huangmei Opera performances at that time, and the actors in that era belonged to the troupe and couldn't take on their own private work.
For this reason, Director Yang Jie was very anxious, and she even said: If Ma Lan doesn't come, she won't shoot.
There was no way, the high-level of the Anhui Provincial Bureau of Culture came forward, which made Ma Lan's troupe relax, and Ma Lan was also moved by the sincerity of the other party, which contributed to this beautiful event.
Immediately after that, the problem came again.
When Ma Lan was filming this episode, she was going to shoot in Erhai Lake, Yunnan, but she had to perform in Anhui the day before, and she couldn't afford to delay on either side, what should I do?
Director Yang Jie was ruthless, waved his hand, and directly allocated 20,000 yuan for transportation expenses, chartered a private jet, and sent her to Anhui after Ma Lan finished acting from Yunnan.
In this way, this play was successfully completed in just 3 minutes.
I have to say that Director Yang Jie's vision of seeing people is really unique, and the role created by Ma Lan makes people feel like everyone who came out of the book, and the part where she throws hydrangeas on the boat, although it is a performance without any lines, it makes people feel very immersed.
It's just that Ma Lan didn't get in touch with film and television dramas later, and returned to his Huangmei Opera stage.
Later, she was also criticized for her marriage to the great writer Yu Qiuyu.
At that time, Yu Qiuyu had a wife named Li Hong. Li Hong also wanted to break into the entertainment industry at the beginning, but when Nai was unlucky, he never developed well.
In addition, her daughter was born at that time, and Yu Qiuyu was not famous when she first started writing, so Li Hong gave up her dream of being an actor, took care of her family, and went out to make money, which gave Yu Qiuyu enough space to create.
It can be said that Yu Qiuyu's success is inseparable from Li Hong.
But who knows, after becoming famous, by chance, Yu Qiuyu fell in love with Ma Lan.
Li Hong found the love letter he wrote to Ma Lan on Yu Qiuyu's desk, and then she knew that this man had changed his mind.
Not long after, Yu Qiuyu had a showdown with Li Hong and wanted to divorce her. This was simply too big a blow to Li Hong, but helplessly, the other party was already determined, and Li Hong had no choice but to withdraw.
In this way, Ma Lan married Yu Qiuyu, who was 16 years older than herself, and the days after marriage were naturally Qin Se and Ming, but Ma Lan's involvement in the marriage of the two was always a stain on her.
Putting aside this ugly relationship, the two of them are also cultural celebrities, but they are always not so perfect, but it's a pity that Li Hong, more than ten years of dedication, in the end, was betrayed.
Fortunately, after Li Hong and Yu Qiuyu divorced, although they had a hard time, they also owned a fitness equipment company through their own struggles, and finally gave their daughter and parents a stable home.
Such an ending can be regarded as a blessing in misfortune.
