In the 86 edition of The Journey to the West, there is an episode in which not only the most frequent goofs appeared in 25 episodes, but also the important goofs were caused by the crew.
Yang Jie's remake of The Journey to the West's "Demon-Eliminating Black Chicken Country" began with 1982, but the filming was not so successful, and there were many outstanding problems in the middle, among which the actor's performance was a big problem encountered by the film crew at the beginning of the filming. Yang Jie had a headache for the actor's modeling design and performance when shooting the pilot collection "Black Phoenix Country". Especially the roles of Tang Priest and the Promise Queen, let Yang Jie re-shoot these two roles two years later.
Wang Yue played the role of Tang Priest in the filming of the pilot collection "The Black Phoenix Country". Because he just stepped out of school and didn't control the performance in time, the translated Tang Priest looked miserable. When the leading cadres of CCTV saw the sample photos of the trial set, someone clearly proposed to replace Tang Priest. Although Yang Jie is not satisfied with Wang Yue's performance, it is not his obligation to fulfill it in time. So I told the leading cadres of CCTV that I expected to give this actor who just left school a chance, and finally Wang stayed.
This time, an actor named Zheng Chuqi was changed. This man is an actor in a drama troupe. Yang Jie's film director can't say that he is satisfied with the actor, but he can't delay filming, and Zheng Chuqi is coming soon. This drama also has other actors' performance problems and makeup problems, which are not satisfactory. Two months after shooting, this film was broadcast on 1982 National Day. At that time, a very large authoritative expert group read it and put forward many suggestions, but it also gave a lot, which was undoubtedly the first fairy tale in China.
After the play was broadcast, its popularity was not great. Because no ordinary family had a TV at that time, few people watched it, and it was broadcast once. After that, Yang Jie made up her mind to shoot this episode again. Later, the queen was replaced by the studio actor Xiang Mei, and she was very satisfied. The founder of Shu Bodhi was also replaced by Zheng Rong, an old Beijing artist. The trial collection was an attempt, and we found all kinds of shortcomings in the play, which made the subsequent shooting more beautiful.
In 1986, Yang Jie felt that due to various standards, the actor's performance was poor or he didn't find an idealized candidate, so he wanted to re-shoot the two most prominent roles in this episode: Tang Priest and the Promise Queen.
At that time, the Tang Priest was already the third pool, and Yang Jie, the heroine of The Queen, invited Xiang Mei from Shanghai Film Studio. As a result, this episode was very successful, and the actors cooperated well, especially after putting makeup on Mei, which was very suitable for playing the queen of depression.
Yang Jie is not allowed to have flaws in it; She doesn't expect the Journey to the West to be wasted in her hands, but she expects to selflessly dedicate a veritable TV series to the people of China. Director Yang Jie's attitude towards plastic arts makes us feel awe, which is one of the reasons why The Journey to the West has been enduring for more than 30 years.
