Six-year-old children, once the "Monkey King", hyped up their new drama at this memorial service, showing no sorrow or mourning.
As soon as this incident came out, six-year-old children were instantly pushed to the forefront of public opinion. Netizens criticized him and asked him why he sold films in the mourning hall.
Yang Jie, who directed this classic work, once said that Journey to the West has become an eternal pain in her heart.
In fact, this is not the first time a six-year-old boy has done this. Over the years, he took the opportunity to rub a wave of enthusiasm for all the people and things related to the journey to the west, and all kinds of behaviors made him fall off the altar.
From a respected old artist to an "immoral artist who only knows business speculation", he was finally assimilated by business under the temptation of interests. What happened to a six-year-old child?
1959, a six-year-old boy, was born in a family of monkeys in Zhang, Shanghai.
His father, Zhang, enjoyed the reputation of "Southern Monkey King" at that time. Influenced by his family, the six-year-old child began to learn monkey science at an early age.
However, due to physical reasons, the burden of inheriting the family monkey learning skills did not fall on his shoulders.
What's more, there is a second brother above him who is more brilliant than him-a young six-year-old boy. Zhang has always been very concerned about this six-year-old boy and cultivated him into his number one successor.
However, there were unexpected storms. 1966, a six-year-old child died of leukemia, and Zhang Jinlai naturally took over the burden of "a new generation of the Monkey King".
Zhang took "six-year-old boy" as his stage name and began to cultivate him carefully. He never misses a chance to exercise a six-year-old boy. Whenever he has free time, he will teach him to dance with his hands.
In order to be able to stand on a bigger stage, six-year-olds never dare to slack off. He often regards the wooden stick as a golden hoop and earnestly learns a trick and a style from his father, but the hard training day after day has not made the six-year-old boy famous.
From the age of 1 2, he began to study art. Until 1982, he was just an unknown Kunqu opera actor. Even with the names of his father and brother, no one thinks highly of him.
Moreover, he used too many eyes when studying art, so he had to wear thick lenses. You know, a pair of bright eyes is very important for the Monkey King.
But maybe he didn't even know that he would one day become the famous "Monkey King" with 600-degree myopia and 260-degree astigmatism.
1982, when director Yang Jie was preparing to shoot Journey to the West, he couldn't find a suitable candidate from the Monkey King. After recommendation, she found the "Monkey King of the South" Zhang, but Zhang was too old to play such a difficult role. So Zhang recommended his six-year-old son to director Yang Jie. Since then, six-year-old children have entered the The Journey to the West crew and started filming with the group for six years.
The 86th edition of Journey to the West lived up to expectations. Once released, it won the national audience's love and even swept overseas. The actors who play mentoring in the play also left a deep impression on the audience with their unique interpretations.
However, during the filming of this drama, some unpleasant episodes occurred.
At that time, the four apprentices in the play took advantage of the drama fever and even went out without telling Director Yang Jie, which delayed the filming process, which made Director Yang Jie very angry and severely criticized the four.
However, four people, represented by six-year-old children, sued Yang Jie to the leading department. Later, director Yang Jie was expelled from the crew. Before long, everyone who has no backbone realized her importance. Finally, the four leading actors knelt down to Yang Jie in public before she asked to continue filming.
After the fire in The Journey to the West, Singaporeans invited several actors to perform in their country. Director Yang Jie thought it was a good opportunity to inherit China culture and agreed. However, except for Zhong Ruichi, all four protagonists use illness as an excuse to avoid responsibility. It turned out that six-year-old children and several other actors secretly picked up Shang Yan.
Chi thought it was wrong to do so, so he didn't go with the six-year-old children, and then he went with the actors, but only Yang Jie went abroad.
Several actors are enjoying the "bonus" brought by Journey to the West, especially the six-year-old children. With the title of "Monkey King", they fly higher and higher, and under the temptation of fame and fortune, they frequently receive advertising endorsements. Once actors suddenly became business celebrities, but several people gradually lost contact with director Yang Jie who made them at that time.
Their behavior made David Jiang, a singer who dared to ask where the road was, very unhappy. He publicly accused several actors of being unfaithful and ungrateful to their Bole achievements.
In addition, what is even more surprising is that this six-year-old boy turned the former residence of Wu Cheng'en, the author of Journey to the West, into his own photo exhibition, put up his own portrait and banner in every corner, and stood his own statue in the center of the square, creating a sign that the two have merged, as if he were the embodiment of the Monkey King.
The successful shaping of the role of "Monkey King" has made six-year-old children have a large number of fans. But the audience's love and praise also made the six-year-old boy begin to swell proudly. He always commented on the role of "the Monkey King" in some public places.
Relying on this title to get Shang Yan, endorsement and private work will deepen the monopoly of this label.
In his eyes, he represents the journey to the west; Even from the perspective of "genuine", other works on the theme of Westward Journey have been "copied".
Because he didn't like Stephen Chow's role as the Monkey King in A Chinese Odyssey, he criticized the film in public.
Not only ridicule on the program, but also imitate the actions in the film. It is also said that Stephen Chow's performance of the Monkey King is blasphemy to art, and falling in love with a demon is an insult to the quintessence of Chinese culture. The Monkey King, played by Stephen Chow, has also become a demon monkey whose right and wrong are reversed in his mouth.
However, in a variety show, national first-class actor Chen put forward his own different views on the role of the Monkey King. In his view, the Monkey King's original image should be a Po Hou, a colorful monkey, and even Guanyin Bodhisattva should avoid him.
These words also make the six-year-old child speechless.
Six-year-olds also tried to "deify" their the Monkey King role, saying in the program that a monkey would salute when he saw him, and that "there is only one the Monkey King in the hearts of a thousand viewers", which is undoubtedly his attempt to prove his "orthodox" status in the Monkey King.
But this kind of propaganda, which leaves no room, gradually disintegrated his childhood idol image in the eyes of the audience.
As we all know, once a man's device collapses, it is difficult to repair it. Since then, there have been more and more black materials about him, and the criticism on the Internet has even overshadowed the previous praise.
Before the scandal of demonizing Stephen Chow subsided, it was revealed that a six-year-old child used body double when filming Journey to the West. For a time, his professional attitude was also questioned by everyone.
Six-year-olds once said on the show that they would never use stuntmen. Under the difficult conditions at that time, he always insisted on shooting every piece independently.
But in fact, in the segment of the true and false Monkey King in the play, many movements of Liu Er's macaque were completed by body double because of the high difficulty coefficient of some movements, but the six-year-old children concealed this matter by legal means in order to keep their professional design.
In fact, in the face of some difficult movements that actors can't complete, it is natural to choose the right pair. After all, once the safety of actors is threatened, it will affect the shooting process of the whole crew. However, it is indeed biased to choose to deceive the audience to reflect their professionalism.
This incident also made this six-year-old boy with a damaged reputation once again questioned by netizens, and his reputation plummeted.
In the eyes of the public, The Journey to the West became a classic, not only because of the wonderful performances of the actors in the play, but also because of their efforts behind the scenes. However, the six-year-old tried to take all the credit for the play on himself, which was inevitably offensive.
Perhaps what he did stems from his cherish of the role, but his behavior of receiving advertisements and hanging up with netizens has once again refreshed people's understanding of him. In the face of netizens' doubts, six-year-old children not only failed to reflect the demeanor of an old artist, but directly linked each other with the Internet.
So, after the game became a hit, the six-year-old boy took the other party to court for violating his portrait right. However, due to the fact that the image of the Monkey King created by the other party did not violate his portrait right, the lawsuit ended in the failure of the six-year-old boy.
From then on, he aimed at more business opportunities, not only received a bunch of game endorsements, but also made the Monkey King's handiwork and sold it at a high price, earning a lot of money. Today, he is obviously getting farther and farther away from that virtuous and artistic old artist.
But is the behavior of a six-year-old really unforgivable? Of course not. Although he is an artist, artists have to pay for daily necessities.
After all, he is just an ordinary person who is tired of life.
The reason why the six-year-old boy fell into hell from the altar is because he was too persistent. He activated the image of "the Monkey King" and the God of War Buddha who only wanted to pay without expecting anything in return.
Unfortunately, it's just a fictional character, and the living can't live by fantasy alone.
Besides, he is not the only celebrity who is famous for business, performance and advertising. Why should we be so upset?
After all, so far, few people can compare with a six-year-old child in the portrayal of the role of the Monkey King. He lived only for the role that the audience loved all his life. Such persistent spirit and artistic feelings are also worthy of our tribute to him.
