Chapter 104 "Journey to the West Continuation" cameo experience

On September 9th, Cao Xuan, who had finished rehearsal, rushed to the crew of "Journey to the West" to play a guest role as Dapeng Bird.

"Journey to the West" has many filming scenes, all over the country. Among them, the plots related to Shituoling were taken from Luofu Mountain, Baishui Lake, Zitong Jiuqu Mountain, Yongding Riverside in Mianshi City, Sichuan Province and other places.

The well-known "Journey to the West Continued" tidbit in later generations, Bai Xiangjing called Zhang Fengyi, was filmed on the banks of the Yongding River in the capital.

It is worth mentioning that the actor who plays Bai Xiangjing is called Wang Weiguo, who is also the actor of the Jade Emperor in the play, and also played Lu Junyi in the 98 version of "Water Margin".

Jia Shitou, the actor of the Blue Lion, has played the double whip Hu Yanzhuo in "Water Margin", and Guo Jun, the actor of the original Dapeng Bird, has played Shi Jin/Shi Wengong.

In a sense, the Three Demons of Shituoling can also be regarded as Liangshan heroes who have been laid off and re-employed.

However, now that Dapeng Bird has replaced Cao Xuan as Ximen Qing, Liangshan's hero status has directly dropped by one-third...

When Cao Xuan came to play a cameo, the exterior scenes of Shituoling were all filmed, and now they are filming part of the scenes in Shituocheng.

After meeting director Yang Jie, Cao Xuan approached Jia Shitou and Wang Weiguo to talk about the past.

In the crew of "Water Margin", he and Jia Shitou were quite good, but Wang Weiguo had less contact with each other, but they were still acquaintances.

Speaking of Wang Weiguo, he is also half a professional emperor, and the one who plays the most is the Jade Emperor.

Because the acting was so realistic, some people later printed him on Ming coins, and I don't know if they can be spent after burning them.

At the same time, Wang Weiguo is also one of the rare actors who starred in three of the four famous novels, playing the roles of Zhang Liao, Lu Junyi, and the Jade Emperor/Bai Xiangjing.

Cao Xuan also saw a stand-in in the form of a Dapeng bird goblin, and asked about it. He learned dancing, and the crew specially found Cao Xuan based on his size and figure.

Almost [-]% of the scenes of Dapeng Bird were filmed by this stand-in. Cao Xuan showed his face, and a special person dubbed it later.

For this reason, Cao Xuan also specifically sought out director Yang Jie, and asked them to add the name of the stand-in to the subtitles of the actors in the later stage.

Otherwise, he has worked so hard to film so many scenes, and he has gained fame and fortune. Cao Xuan really doesn't have that face.

Well, Cao Xuan really doesn't have any connotation, it's purely from the bottom of his heart...

.........

After exchanging pleasantries for a while, Cao Xuan put on make-up and filmed. He only had two days to make a guest appearance, and left after filming. Time was tight.

Compared with the 86 edition of "Journey to the West", "Journey to the West Continued", although most of them are from the same class, there is still a gap in quality.

Among them, the most criticized ones are the flamboyant service and the crazy female fairies.

Director Yang Jie's daughter is in charge of the make-up for Journey to the West.

Perhaps due to the influence of the West, Hong Kong and Taiwan, a lot of smoky makeup is used on many female characters, which is more coquettish and lacks the classic natural beauty of the 86 version.

As for female goblins, "Journey to the West Continued" has 16 episodes, and the content of these 16 episodes is the expansion of the 86 episodes that were cut from the original 5 version of "Journey to the West", although some other plots were added later, But it is also inevitable to inject water.

Therefore, in every plot, there will be a heroine, such as the peacock princess, the princess of Heishuihe, the civilian girl who is snatched by the leopard, the daughter of Kou Shanren, the dragon girl of the West Sea who is molested by the rhinoceros, and so on.

These characters have almost no effect on the plot. If you delete them all, you will find that the development of the plot will not be delayed at all.

In addition, "Journey to the West Continued" also likes to tell stories, and there are a lot of flashback narratives, which leads to a protracted plot rhythm.

The soundtrack was also produced by a newcomer. Although the effect is good, it is not as classic and charming as the 86 version of Xu Jingqing.

There are actually problems with the action scenes. Cao Rong's martial arts design is not bad, but he just likes to let the gods and monsters in the play fight hand-to-hand, and rarely uses magic.

After all, "Journey to the West" is a drama of gods and demons, with too many action scenes, it seems a bit monotonous.

Of course, the above is not to say that "Journey to the West Continued" is not good. In terms of quality alone, this drama can be regarded as first-class.

However, the 86 version of "Journey to the West" is too classic, and everyone will inevitably compare it.

And after so many years, the technical funds of the crew have increased, and everyone naturally wants to see a better "Journey to the West".

The result was not as good as the old version filmed under difficult conditions, and the audience was naturally dissatisfied.

Looking at the Mipeng bird costume brought by the staff, it is red and yellow in color, glittering in gold, and extremely bright.

Cao Xuan didn't talk nonsense, he just put it on, he just played a cameo, there are three scenes in total, so there is no need to talk too much.

But in terms of makeup, Cao Xuan made a small suggestion, that is, to make his nose a little hooked, like a hooked nose.

The final effect is not bad, it's bewitching and evil, a bit like the number one boss in the lion and camel country.

After putting on makeup, Cao Xuan also saw the actor he was playing with today——

The peacock princess, Jin Qiaoqiao, was later Bona's proprietress.

There are only a few concubine Fuzheng in the entertainment industry who married into a wealthy family, and this one can be regarded as a model.

It's said, it's just said.

At the time, Yu Dong, the boss of Bona, was always surrounded by peach blossoms, and there were even some popular actresses. The more famous one was Yuan Li, who married Yu Dong many times.

Later, Yu Dong and his original spouse divorced, and Yuan Li almost regarded herself as the proprietress of Bona. She never expected that she would be swayed by the transparent Jin Qiaoqiao.

Jin Qiaoqiao gave birth to a daughter to Yu Dong, and the mother is precious according to the daughter, and the dark horse counterattacked. Hearing that Yuan Li's face turned green, she later tweeted that Jin Qiaoqiao was bald.

I don't know if the latter is true or not, but according to the timeline and various news evidence, Jin Qiaoqiao's position in the concubine is almost certain.

The reputation is not good, but the benefits are real.

Backed by the big tree of Bona, wading through the entertainment industry, she is still a wealthy wife if she doesn’t take on the show, and the occasional show that she comes out to participate in is also held by "good sisters" everywhere.

However, the present Jin Qiaoqiao has not yet reached the rank of later generations. He has just graduated from university and is still a little transparent in the circle.

Later, she became famous with the Peacock Princess of this drama and the second princess of the Dragon Girl in "Bright Spring Pig Bajie", known as a professional princess.

Princess Jin is very eager to Cao Xuan, Mr. Cao is long, Mr. Cao is short, and the small mouth is so sweet.

Cao Xuan's attitude was also very polite, but after chatting for a long time, he didn't even bring his mobile phone number, which made Princess Jin secretly depressed.

"Journey to the West Continuation" has a total of three shots of Dapeng showing his face, basically flirting with girls.

The first scene, confession, was rejected.

In the second round, bragging, confession, and rejection.

In the third scene, I thought hey, but I was stunned by someone else's fan.

It looked miserable, but Cao Xuan couldn't help being handsome, and he became a warm man even when he licked the dog.

After these performances, some staff members said that it would be nice to have Dapeng Bird and Princess Peacock together, handsome men and beautiful women, they look good to match.

After hearing this, Jin Qiaoqiao looked shy, Cao Xuan just wanted to hehe, and strongly doubted whether the staff was trusting her.

Cao Xuan stayed in "Journey to the West Continued" for a day and a half. Apart from filming, the rest was to observe whether the master and apprentice were at odds with Yang Jie.

After all, the matter of Teacher Six of the Later Generation was such a sensation, it was rare for Cao Xuan to be on the set, and he really wanted to see the gossip.

It is worth mentioning that the four masters and apprentices in "Journey to the West Continued" have been changed by half compared to the 86 version.

Zhu Bajie Ma Dehua was replaced by Cui Jingfu, Drifting changed from Yan Huaili to Liu Dagang.

The official statement is to take care of the old age of the two actors, but some people say that it is due to human factors behind it, and the purpose is to kill pigs to warn monkeys.

Tang Seng is played by two people. There are 16 episodes in the whole play, and one person plays 8 episodes. Some say that Director Yang does not forget the old man and completes a good story, and some say that he deliberately arranges two Tang Sengs to check and balance each other so as not to be incapable of directing.

Cao Xuan felt that there must be something between them, but on the set, the relationship between the parties was quite harmonious.

But behind the harmony, whether it is true or false, only they know in their hearts...
