I respect everyone who likes this work because he thinks that everyone's understanding and feelings about the work are different.
Even with the passage of time, "Journey to the West" is still often repeated**, which is enough to prove its deep imprint in people's hearts.
Originally, no one expected that Yang Jie, the biggest hero of this drama, would have an unexpected dislike for "Journey to the West".
It can be said that for her, "Journey to the West" has become an insurmountable obstacle, and every time she mentions it, she feels extremely painful and uncomfortable.
It's a puzzling mystery, but how did it happen?
Why did Yang Jie let out such a deep sigh? What is hidden behind this post-drama incident?
"Journey to the West" attracted widespread attention after its broadcast, not only received a warm welcome in China, but also became famous overseas, attracting the love of global audiences, which is definitely not an exaggeration.
Behind the flowers and applause in front of the stage, there is a diametrically opposed behind-the-scenes story, which can even be said to be"Ungrateful"and extremely bloody.
So, how did all this happen?
Let's do it together.
Yang Jie originally planned to have the four masters and apprentices of "Journey to the West" tour abroad to increase its popularity.
However, when she tried to contact them to participate in the tour, it was unsuccessful.
After some investigation, Yang Jie found that the three masters and apprentices went to commercial performances with Xu Shaohua to make money.
This news made Yang Jie very angry, and she immediately called them back and criticized them harshly.
Unexpectedly, they took this opportunity to challenge Yang Jie and directly complained to her superiors in the station.
Due to Yang Jie's growing reputation in the industry, many people became jealous and hostile towards her.
In this case, Yang Jie was fired by the director, which brought her great pain and disappointment.
In the process of filming "Journey to the West", Yang Jie not only encountered many pains and difficulties, but also her inner struggles and persistence are difficult to express in words.
In the production process, in addition to facing the complexity of people's hearts, the main creator Yang Jie also encountered many physical challenges.
Despite the limited budget and the increase in labor costs caused by weather changes, the 86 version of "Journey to the West" has always insisted on on-site shooting, fearless of difficulties, and shows its persistent pursuit of art.
In the early 80s, the conditions for filming were extremely limited, and the technical equipment was not developed.
Special effects such as Hanging Weiya are completely dependent on manpower to complete, which is very difficult.
Under such circumstances, director Yang Jie was under huge time pressure and task pressure, and it was admirable that he could complete such a huge production with only one camera.
In the face of extreme weather, this one-of-a-kind baby bump has gone through a lot of hardships.
In addition, the actors also put in a lot of effort to present wonderful performances, and at that time we were not yet famous.
All the crew of "Journey to the West" worked together, whether it was the protagonist or the group performance, everyone did their best and showed a serious performance spirit.
The two famous actors, **Xia and Liu Xiaolingtong, both had accidents because of their performances.
* Xia fainted due to lack of oxygen due to inhaling too much dry ice, and the six-year-old child fell and fractured due to improper operation of Hanging Weiya.
These experiences remind us to be mindful of our own safety while pursuing art.
In today's entertainment industry, dedicated actors are rare, not to mention that they were paid a meager salary back then, and their lives were very difficult.
Despite the serious lack of funding, Yang Jie even had to cut 5 episodes to ensure the completion of the entire series.
Despite all the difficulties, Yang Jie still insisted on using live-action shooting, and she traveled through 26 provinces in China and even went to Thailand.
At that time, the transportation was far less convenient than it is now, and it is not difficult to imagine how many difficulties and obstacles Yang Jie overcame during the filming.
Although they couldn't foresee at the time that the deleted 5 episodes would have a chance to continue, unfortunately, the subsequent development did not reach the expected level.
Receiving the task of filming "Journey to the West", one of the four famous novels, Yang Jie felt a lot of pressure.
She knew that if the shooting was not as good as she could have done, she would have a huge responsibility.
Yang Jie adhered to this belief and began a strict and focused selection of actors, and the casting of the four masters and apprentices became the key to the key.
Yang Jie made great efforts in the process of finding Sun Wukong, but to her surprise, Tang Seng was the character who changed the most roles.
The role of Tang Seng is played by three actors, among which Chi Chongrui is the final version of Tang Seng, who took over the role left by Xu Shaohua and made some remedies for his previous performance.
Because of his handsome appearance, Xu Shaohua has become the most popular image of Tang Seng in the hearts of the audience, especially his role with the king of his daughter country in "Journey to the West", which has attracted the attention of countless girls.
Xu Shaohua had a difficult choice between studying and acting, and finally left resolutely because of the hopelessness of a salary increase.
In the end, Chi Chongrui took over the role of Tang Seng. In fact, Wang Yue was the first "initial Tang monk" who was selected, and he was also the Tang monk with the most bitter feeling.
At that time, not long after Wang Yue graduated, he was taken by Yang Jie at a glance.
Although the outside world is skeptical of Wang Yue's acting skills, Yang Jie still firmly believes in his potential and insists on letting him star.
However, it didn't take long for Wang Yue to hesitate because he received a more powerful movie offer.
This opportunity is undoubtedly a great joy for Wang Yue.
Because Yang Jie resolutely opposed Wang Yue's drama, the crew had to start the casting process again and again.
In the corner that everyone didn't notice much, the role of Tang Seng changed three times, and at the same time, many supporting roles quietly changed the original candidates.
In film and television works, the actors of some roles will change, such as Zhu Bajie, Tang Seng, Jade Rat Spirit, Elder Jinchi and other roles.
Some of these changes are due to the fact that the character setting is not suitable for the actors, and some are due to the actors' personal reasons leaving the team during filming.
Through superb makeup and makeup technology, the crew presented the ever-changing appearance of the monsters in "Journey to the West", which is breathtaking.
As a result, "Journey to the West" was not recognized with its ingenious "confusing the real with the fake", but was warmly welcomed at the time.
Because the first film was so great and attracted a large audience, they wanted to see more of it.
Thus, the sequel to "Journey to the West" was born.
In the process of making the sequel, something happened that made people feel helpless.
Many people have heard of the conflict between Yang Jie and the master and apprentice, but they don't know much about the subsequent development.
After the news of the sequel to Journey to the West was announced, the three masters and apprentices of the year gathered at Yang Jie's side again.
As if they had discussed it in advance, they suddenly expressed deep apologies to Yang Jie and apologized for their "betrayal" back then.
In the end, everyone saw the change in Yang Jie's face, and revealed their true purpose: hoping to reshoot the sequel.
However, the country is easy to change, and the nature is difficult to change.
After Yang Jie agreed to let a few people audition, the master and apprentice took Chi Chongrui to embark on the journey of a commercial performance in Vietnam again.
However, Yang Jie fell into a window period again, so she was angry and decisively replaced the actors of Bajie and Senior Brother Sha.
During the filming process, in order to maintain the order of the crew, director Yang Jie found two actors, Ding Jian and Xu Shaohua, to play a small number of scenes with Liu Xiaolingtong and Chi Chongrui.
This move effectively stopped the bad behavior of Liu Xiaolingtong and Chi Chongrui, making them more focused on the filming work, for fear that they would be replaced.
Director Yang Jie's method effectively played a warning role.
Despite our efforts, the end result was not as expected.
There is an obvious gap between the performance of several actors and the previous one, and Xu Shaohua is no longer the image of the handsome young man he was at the beginning.
Although the greasy uncle will make people feel that things are wrong, the degree of water injection in the series is disappointing, and the number of episodes that can be counted with only one hand has been shoehorned into 16 episodes.
The score of the sequel is much worse than before, and some people even bluntly said "dogtail continuation mink", what do you think about this?
