"I have never joked with Mr. Chi, we have always called each other 'you' since we got married."
This is what said to the host who interviewed Chen Lihua on the show.
and the "Mr. Chi" in his mouth is " Chi Chongrui ", one of the actors of Tang Monk in the 86 edition of " Journey to the West ".
Chi Chongrui became popular with the role of "Tang Seng".
But at the peak of his career he suddenly chose to "retire".
And it's all because of one woman - Chen Lihua.
Chen Lihua, as the earliest richest woman in China, has a status and wealth beyond the reach of others.
When Chi Chongrui and Chen Lihua came together, this relationship naturally suffered a lot of doubts.
Some people say that Chi Chongrui willingly got together with Chen Lihua, who is 10 years older than him and has three children, because of money.
But in fact, the two have been respecting each other for more than 30 years of marriage.
learned that Chi Chongrui likes red sandalwood, so Chen Lihua invested a lot of money in Red Sandalwood Museum , and let him serve as the curator.
Rather than saying that Chi Chongrui is humble in this marriage, he respects his wife.
Chi Chongrui "climbed" rather than saying that the two appreciate each other.
Although the relationship between the two was not favored by the outside world at the beginning.
But now 30 years of ups and downs, the two are still in love with each other.
may be just like in the 86 edition of Journey to the West, but in the end it was the Tang monk played by "Chi Chongrui" who obtained the scriptures.
Now that 36 years have passed since "Journey to the West", what kind of life did the three Tang monks lead each other?
When the filming of Journey to the West and others started, director Yang Jie could be said to have been heartbroken for the role of "Tang Seng".
, as the "soul character" in the play, is not as famous as Sun Wukong .
But the role of Tang Seng leads all the plot development of the whole drama.
first stepped into the door of Beijing Film Academy in order to choose the "Tang Seng" director Yang Jie in his heart.
But at that time Wang Yue had graduated, and he was working as an actor in Emei Film Studio at this time. Although
has graduated, Director Yang Jie has taken a fancy to Wang Yue from the graduation photos of many students.
is like this, he was developing his film career and accidentally got a "corner" in the TV series "Journey to the West". In order to make Wang Yue's image and temperament more in line with the "Tang Monk" corner.
Director Yang Jie also specially sent Wang Yue to Fayuan Temple to practice Buddhism.
During this period, Wang Yue shaved his hair and put on a cassock, and he ate and lived with other monks in the temple every day. At the beginning of
, Wang Yue thought it was very novel.
But after eating fast and chanting Buddha for a few days, Wang Yue felt unbearable.
Mosquitoes can't reach out and hit them when they fall on them, they say they can't kill.
This made Wang Yue want to quit, but not long after "Journey to the West" officially started filming, he was finally able to "get out of the bitter sea".
But beyond everyone's expectations, Director Yang Jie painstakingly selected Tang Seng.
was initially not recognized by the majority of the audience.
Because of Wang Yue's "bitter and hatred" appearance, after the broadcast of Wuji Kingdom, some audiences asked to change the actor.
But Yang Jie, the chief director, defied all opposition.
said that both the cast and the filming are still in the groping stage.
She saw that Wang Yue was capable of playing the role of Tang Monk.
so insisted on keeping him.
sure enough, with the later broadcast of Guanyin Academy, Ginseng Fruit and Three Dozens of White Bone Spirits, Wang Yue's acting skills were finally recognized by the audience.
especially in the scene where he drives away Wukong himself with tears in the three dozen white bone spirits.
made his fame soarboat high.
But with the increase of fame, Wang Yue, originally a film and television actor, has received invitations from many film directors.
may be because the movie is too charming, so in the end Wang Yue bid farewell to the "Journey to the West" crew to make a movie. The
crew finally started to improve, but the starring was gone.
This made Director Yang Jie anxious for a while.
But the movie is going to be filmed, and Tang Seng has to continue to look for it. At this time, the appearance of a Xu Shaohua undoubtedly made his eyes shine.
Xu Shaohua was originally the actor of "Little White Dragon" in the play.
Although he looks as handsome as a "little white dragon", his temperament is a bit less eloquent.
was when Xu Shaohua was about to go home. The staff of
suggested to director Yang Jie that it is better to let him try Tang Seng's appearance.
It stands to reason that the Tang monk played by Xu Shaohua is too "gentle and elegant".
caused some masculinity to be missing from him.
, but it coincides with the filming of "The Kingdom of the Daughter". The Tang monk played by
Xu Shaohua and the daughter king played by Zhu Lin in the play were immediately recognized by the audience.
And after that, Xu Shaohua was once sought after as "the freshest Tang monk". It's just a pity that
is the same as Wang Yue.
Xu Shaohua also withdrew from the crew of "Journey to the West" after this highlight.
and the reason is that at that time he was busy with his studies. Although
has different opinions on this, the final result is that Xu Shaohua's "Tang Monk" is short-lived.
And after that, the more classic " Tang Xuanzang " created by Chi Chongrui.
Xu Shaohua's departure made Director Yang Jie very angry.
If the two actors, Wang Yue and Xu Shaohua, were chosen by her.
So Chi Chongrui's appearance is a bit of a coincidence.
One meal, Director Yang Jie got up to leave, but at a glance he took a fancy to Chi Chongrui who was approaching.
Chi Chongrui is tall, handsome and gentle.
and the family of Peking Opera, , immediately captured the heart of director Yang Jie.
Then Chi Chongrui was dragged by Yang Dao directly to the barber shop to have his head shaved. After
acted as a photoshoot, he also became the third Tang monk in the "Journey to the West" crew.
had the last two experiences, and Director Yang Jie was also very careful about it.
then arranged a tiring and bitter role for Chi Zhongrui when he first joined the crew - "Jing Longwang". The character
has special effects makeup all over his face, plus the hot shooting environment.
This is undoubtedly a test for Chi Chongrui.
However, Chi Chongrui completed the filming with great dedication, and did not shout bitterness or fatigue throughout the whole process.
This made Director Yang overjoyed, and Chi Chongrui naturally became the final candidate for Tang Seng.
can say that, every Tang monk has a shining point in the play.
Wang Yue is "Three Beats of White Bone Spirit", Xu Shaohua is " Qujing Daughter Country ", and Chi Chongrui is "Rescue Children's City".
In this section, Chi Chongrui imitates the Monkey King's transformation of the Tang monk vividly.
so that many viewers really thought it was Sun Wukong who became a Tang monk when they were young.
And in the subsequent shooting, Chi Chongrui has been recognized by the audience for many times when he played several roles by himself.
And in the end, the Tang monk obtained the scriptures, and Chi Chongrui also became the happiest of the three Tang monks.
After that, Wang Yue did not make a name for himself in the film industry, while Xu Shaohua went around acting and eating role bonuses.
Only Chi Chongrui married Chen Lihua and became the curator of the Red Sandalwood Museum.
Now that "Journey to the West" has been on the air for 36 years, the three Tang monks have obviously lived very different lives.
In the face of rumors and rumors from the outside world, Chi Chongrui has always been humble and gentle.
Time will prove everything, maybe it seems that getting "true" in real lifeChi Chongrui is really the one who has passed.
