I still remember that time, every afternoon we sat on the floor of the living room, ate popsicles and blew fans, and watched Journey to the West over and over again. Although the plot can be memorized, it still makes people never tire of watching it!
Among many plots, Monkey King Thrice Defeats the Skeleton Demon is the most impressive. Bai Gujing, also known as Mrs. White Bone, was originally a female corpse that turned into a white bone on Baihuling. She accidentally adopted the aura of heaven and earth, was transformed into a human form by the essence of the sun and the moon, and learned the autopsy.
Bai changed into a human form three times, confusing Tang Priest and his disciples. The first time was/kloc-a little girl about 0/8 years old. The second time was an old lady who was nearly a hundred years old; The third is the old woman's husband-an old man. Pig Bajie saw that the little girl's bones were crisp, and she didn't know any monsters.
Tang Priest couldn't see that it was a monster, and he was almost eaten for nothing. Fortunately, the Monkey King arrived in time, killed the monster three times and was driven away by the Tang Priest. When I saw this passage as a child, I was so angry that I couldn't see any monsters, and I was wrong about the Monkey King.
Yang Chunxia's Bai Gujing has also become the shadow of many people's childhood. Yang Chunxia is actually a famous Peking Opera performer. She was born in a literary family and loved opera since she was a child. I hope she can sing on the stage one day.
After graduating from Shanghai Opera Academy, he was invited by a generation of famous artists Zhu Chuanming and Fang to appear in The Legend of the White Snake and The Woman in Yangmen.
As a Peking Opera artist, his noble and self-defeating temperament is very consistent with Bai. Although Bai is a demon, she has a "fan queen".
We know that Director Yang Jie has devoted a lot of efforts to Journey to the West.
In casting, she always chooses actors who fit the character temperament. At that time, actors paid great attention to the influence of roles on themselves, and no one would play the negative role. Director Yang Jiexian found Liu Xiaoqing, and Liu Xiaoqing thought for a moment and readily agreed, but he made another request, that is, the girl, the old woman and the old man wanted her to play.
Director Yang Jie was unhappy when he heard it. How to do this? After the filming, the audience will say, why are all the other roles played by this person? Isn't this a mess? Later, Director Yang Jie called Yang Chunxia, and she thought that Yang Chunxia was very suitable for this role. Hearing this, Yang Chunxia was surprised: "Do you think I look like white?" As a Peking Opera actor, Yang Chunxia cherishes her feathers. After all, it is something to be put on the stage. Yang Jie, the director, also said something bad and said that he finally persuaded Yang Chunxia. But Yang Chunxia made a request, that is, the king of the daughter country invited her to play later!
Yang Jie was reluctant, but because time was tight, she had to agree first. After that, Yang Chunxia played the role of "Bai Gujing" in The Journey to the West, which brought the sinister and cunning into full play and became a classic in the audience's mind.
Later, however, Director Yang Jie broke his word. The king of the girl country did not let Yang Chunxia play, but found Zhu Lin.
Yang Chunxia was very angry about this and felt that Yang Jie had broken his promise and reneged. As a result, they had an argument and had no contact for 30 years.
Until Yang Jie died, he didn't get Yang Chunxia's forgiveness. Director Yang Jie didn't see Yang Chunxia at the funeral. It seems that she is very concerned about this.
Although Yang Chunxia is 77 years old, she still chooses not to talk about The Journey to the West all her life, which has become a hurdle in her heart. What do you think of this matter?
