Six-year-old children:

Hello, audience and friends, welcome to the lecture hall of Journey to the West in the Monkey King. The story I want to tell you today can be said to be very familiar to everyone. Monkey King Thrice Defeats the Skeleton Demon, which is known throughout the ages, is the twenty-seventh novel "The corpse plays Tang Sanzang, and the holy monk hates the Monkey King."

Monkey King Thrice Defeats the Skeleton Demon

The Journey to the West is a very classic story, which was made into a Shao drama film in 1960s, making a sensation. The father of a six-year-old boy, a six-year-old boy, is the protagonist of this film. His Monkey King has both form and spirit, and is known as the "Monkey King of the South". Mao Zedong, Liu Shaoqi, Zhou Enlai, Deng Xiaoping and other central leaders all spoke highly of Monkey King Thrice Defeats the Skeleton Demon starring him. So what artistic nutrients can a six-year-old child learn from his father?

Six-year-old children:

Speaking of Monkey King Thrice Defeats the Skeleton Demon, I think the audience must be familiar with Monkey King Thrice Defeats the Skeleton Demon, a colorful opera film in the early 1960s. The play is based on the script of Shao drama written and directed by my uncle Qi in his early years. Finally, organized by Monkey King Thrice Defeats the Skeleton Demon, Zhejiang Province, many writers co-wrote the screenplay. On the second floor of our museum (Editor's Note of the Six-year-old Children's Art Museum), there is a split-shot book shot by Shanghai Tianma Film Studio at that time, which contains Monkey King Thrice Defeats the Skeleton Demon's films, which we have always kept. At that time, the play was distributed in 72 countries, and won the Best Drama Award in the second film Hundred Flowers Award in China. The director is very famous, Mr Xiaozhong Yang. There is also a young director named Mr. Yu Zhongying. I only saw Mr. Tai. I also signed my name in Monkey King Thrice Defeats the Skeleton Demon, and Mr. Lu Junfeng, the photographer. This drama can be said to be the biggest film released overseas by a true drama that year. Later, Mr. Guo Moruo watched the play six times and wrote a poem. Chairman Mao watched my father's stage play Monkey King Thrice Defeats the Skeleton Demon at Huairentang1961KLOC-0/0 in Zhongnanhai, and they recorded seven applause. The chairman smiled and liked the theme very much. Everyone is familiar with the poems written by Chairman Mao, and two of them are "The Golden Monkey Will Make Great Achievements, Yuyu will clarify Wan Li's feelings", which has become a swan song throughout the ages. Mr. Guo Moruo wrote another poem, and many paintings and calligraphy works are displayed in our six-year-old children's art museum. I want to include the cartoons you saw later, the demonization of the golden monkey, and many cartoons of Monkey King Thrice Defeats the Skeleton Demon drawn by Mr. Zhao Hongben and Mr. Qian Xiaodai, which I often read when I was a child. Playing the artistic image of the Monkey King TV series is a great inspiration to me.

When we play the image of the Monkey King, we must use many monkey stunts. My father told me that in art, we should achieve "no one has me, no one has me, no one is kind to me, no one is kind to me, no one is kind to me, no one is kind to me." This "transformation" is the highest state. Dad took a picture of me, and the Monkey King looked at it. Our traditional opera action is such a cloud hand, but we don't want the first part to appear on TV. As soon as the Monkey King saw it, the aesthetic feeling of this action came from the traditional opera of China-Monkey Opera. Therefore, I often say that if you want to play the Monkey King well, you must accept the performing arts of the traditional monkey show in China. We actors should not only "know why", but also "know why", such as the Monkey King's actions. We often see the Monkey King hanging his hand. This is the shape of a natural monkey You can't give a thumbs up. Everyone knows this. If you have observed monkeys, you must know. So my dad said that any monkey performer is like this, and he certainly didn't pay close attention to the state of the real monkey. Of course, the general audience doesn't know when you said this finger came out, but art pays attention to three words and produces fine products. The first is a drama for acting, the second is exquisite, and the third is a drama for acting. Only when "playing" is delicate can it really become a performance art drama, so you can also see tickling. I tickle so much that you can't see me. Our shot is like this. I want this monkey to look like a silly monkey, so we have to lean a little sideways. Like some habits and actions of the Monkey King, I think it is very important for us to reveal our feelings about the Monkey King. Besides what I said just now, I am happy, and my hands are rotating, which is one aspect. For example, I slowly stood up and patted my legs. This state is also a very prominent figure in the panorama. The audience saw the prisoner's Five Elements Mountain, and the Monkey King stood in the Tathagata's palm. If you speak some lines as usual, such as Tathagata, it will take a lot of action, what happened, why you lied to me and so on. Therefore, every actor who is interested in playing the Monkey King and the Monkey King well must learn from the older generation of artists with an open mind, and only on the basis of inheriting the tradition can he innovate and develop.

The four generations of the Monkey King in our family, from my great-grandfather, grandfather to my father, from my brother to me, are completely different in facial makeup, costumes and performance styles. There are four golden hoops in our museum, including masks. My great-grandfather used a wooden stick, which was inflexible. Farmers' hobbies are monkey boxing and monkey sticks. When I got to grandpa's place, I used a bamboo pole, which was a little more flexible and played faster. My grandfather is also an educator in a strict sense, and sometimes he likes to play monkey tricks. It was not until my father's and my uncle's generation that the monkey opera art of China Shao Opera was really established, and it was called Zhang Shi's monkey opera and continued. My father's cane is made of rattan, on the stage. But what I use on TV is sometimes iron and sometimes aluminum alloy. The texture must be true, otherwise what everyone sees is false, because this form, as well as our lens, must be such a stick. Including Facebook, my great-grandfather had a wooden face and his mouth was biting like a monkey; My grandfather used cloth, just like the Sichuan opera you see now; When I arrived at my father, it became a hook face, painted with oil paint, with red in the middle, which showed loyalty, courage and righteousness on the face of the opera; When I came here, my face was covered with oil painting latex, and my mask was different. Including shoes, my great-grandfather played barefoot in the Monkey King, a folk hobby; I went to my grandfather's house to wear sandals and walk on stilts. I am busy with farming, including holiday harvest. In this scene, they show the procedure and image of the Monkey King; By the time my father wore monk shoes, the shoes that everyone saw on the way to learn from the scriptures were all monk shoes; For me, I wear boots more, and I am very familiar with the scene of the Monkey King in Monkey King. Art keeps pace with the times. At the same time, I hope that there will be generations of audiences and actors to pass on the Westward Journey culture and the Monkey King art from generation to generation.

Six-year-olds and six-year-olds

1986 The TV series starring six-year-old children was officially broadcast in The Journey to the West. Once released, it created 89% of the viewing myth, and it lasted for a long time. Up to now, it has been replayed thousands of times on major TV stations, making it the highest-rated TV series in China. Some critics believe that the Monkey King, played by a six-year-old child, has been imitated and never surpassed. In Monkey King Thrice Defeats the Skeleton Demon's performance, six-year-old children put in a lot of efforts, so what's the special story behind this classic plot?

Six-year-old children:

About 1983, the TV series "Monkey King Thrice Defeats the Skeleton Demon" was filmed. According to Yang Jie, your father, a six-year-old boy and a seven-year-old boy, created Monkey King Thrice Defeats the Skeleton Demon's classic works. How do TV plays portray the image of the Monkey King? It can be said that whether the Monkey King's screen image can be accepted by our audience is very important, including modeling, performance style and many artistic treatments. First of all, let's shoot the TV series "Monkey King Thrice Defeats the Skeleton Demon". From the beginning of the script, both the screenwriter and the director agreed that we should go back according to the structure of the novel. One is Monkey King Thrice Defeats the Skeleton Demon, followed by Lotus Cave, which is a play by a king with a golden horn and a silver horn.

Before filming the TV series Monkey King Thrice Defeats the Skeleton Demon, my father and I had many long talks. Director Yang asked me to go back to Shaoxing to find your father and explore some performing arts in his drama Monkey King Thrice Defeats the Skeleton Demon. For example, beating three monsters, the incarnation of Bai, from a small village girl, an old lady and an old man, is different every time. The first time I hit a village girl was just for fun, that is, Doby, so the performance was completely different from the latter two styles. The second one happened to see the old lady playing, and the Monkey King gave her a hand. The old lady grabbed it and thought it was Tang Priest. She looked back and got a fright. That's a monkey, the Monkey King. The third fight was anger. During the Monkey King's stay in Monkey King Thrice Defeats the Skeleton Demon, the Monkey King's own wisdom was constantly improving. Besides courage, there were many small arrangements. Only in this way can he launch a surprise attack and subdue the cunning and ferocious Bai. Third, when hitting the old man, the monkey was in a hurry and had a lot of scratching movements. Father said, you must portray the special artistic image of the Monkey King, the Monkey King, in different levels. However, TV plays cannot be completely staged and dramatic. In addition to true feelings, there should be many delicate and realistic performances. We say "reasonable and unexpected".

In the movie "Monkey King Thrice Defeats the Skeleton Demon", my father may have a deep impression that he once bowed down before leaving the Tang Priest. According to the terminology, we call it "five hearts bent to the sky", with two palms, soles of feet and head. We jumped up and knelt down, and the actual stage performance was thunderous applause, but my father said that you can't ask for more applause at this time, but you should mobilize everyone's emotions. You can't act like this in the TV series Journey to the West. Director Yang passed. I jumped up and looked at the mud, but there were many pebbles. My whole knee was worn out when I knelt down, but I still insisted on taking this shot. Especially in the scene when the Tang Priest drove the Monkey King away, my father told me that the Monkey King's emotion reached its acme, which was very important. There are feelings between master and apprentice, but there are also grievances and dissatisfaction, but he wants to express it, but the master does not understand. Read these words forcefully on the stage. In TV series, we adopted some other methods. I went back to pay attention to master several times, pleading and helpless. When I couldn't save this situation, I repeatedly told Friar Sand, my younger brother Sha and my second brother Pig to protect Master. Especially in the end, I looked at Xiao Bai, because he hadn't shown his true colors at that time. I once hugged him. At that time, I really felt that my brain and scalp were numb, and my emotions were completely integrated into this role, with tears in my eyes. I hugged the little white dragon's horse head. In fact, although he didn't speak, their hearts were interlinked. It was not easy to shoot this shot at that time because the horse didn't understand your feelings. After I hugged it, I cultivated it for a long time. When it tossed its head, it had to be shot again. Finally, everyone saw this picture, which should be said to be quite good. Later, the Monkey King reluctantly left Master, and we set off backwards. I watched Master fly slowly, but I still couldn't bear to look at her. What should you do? If you leave me, Pig Bajie and Friar Sand Xiaobai will certainly encounter many unexpected problems, but in the end, the Monkey King slowly turned around and returned to his hometown in Huaguoshan. When we deal with these scenes, we always grasp a "feeling" to move people with emotion. We have seen this story now, and I have seen many viewers say that when we were watching TV, the Monkey King, a the Monkey King, was wronged and we all cried. This shows that when our actors create this artistic image, what they want to express is accepted, recognized and deeply moved by the audience.

There are some interesting plots that we also show in the play. For example, the TV series is three dozen, and killing the old man is equivalent to killing the white.

But the next episode is called Treasure Hunt Lotus Cave. What impressed me the most was becoming a Taoist child, then a middle-aged Taoist, and finally becoming the mother of Jin Chan, the king of golden horns and silver horns. In the play, the father wore a mask and performed this scene, which was also very brilliant. Many viewers left a very deep memory after watching it. When I was in a TV series, I asked the director to play the old lady. At that time, Director Yang hoped that other old actors would play such a role, but I think the embodiment of many details and the portrayal of characters may be more convincing to me. Later, Director Yang said, try on your makeup first. I think you are suitable for this role, so you'd better play the role yourself. Later, when I didn't play, I wore an old lady's makeup and walked next to Director Yang. She looked at it for a long time and didn't see it. At first, she looked at the monitor. Why is it so familiar? At first, it was me. I said, what about the director? No problem, just you. In this case, everyone later saw the golden toad Daxian. Although she is completely an old mother's image, many details of his monkey-like movements still need to be revealed, and everyone should still have an impression. I picked up my cigarette and hit the pig in the ear. He was in pain, you old witch. He scolded me. Finally, when I saw that Pig was really anxious, I lifted my skirt to reveal Pig's monkey hair. Haha, my big brother is here, so he knows. So this kind of tacit communication can't be seen in other plays. Through such stories, we promote the truth, goodness and beauty and attack the false, evil and ugly. No matter how cunning Bai is, he can't escape the Monkey King's eyes.

Monkey King Thrice Defeats the Skeleton Demon in China is a well-known story, and almost everyone in China knows it. From comic books in the last century to Chinese textbooks in primary schools, this story has been deeply branded in the memory of China people since childhood, and everyone has different interpretations of it. Chairman Mao read out from the inside, "Golden Monkey makes a thousand moves, Yuyu clarifies Wan Li's feelings", and Guo Moruo read out from the inside, "Why lose a big sacred hair when you chop the Tang monk's flesh with a thousand knives?" Premier Zhou watched Shao's play Monkey King Thrice Defeats the Skeleton Demon four times. So, what are the original opinions of the six-year-old children who have played the Monkey King for more than 30 years?

Six-year-old children:

Sometimes when I give lectures in universities, many college students will ask me, Teacher Zhang, do you like the Monkey King who made havoc in heaven or the Monkey King in Journey to the West? I said that the combination of these two roles is actually an artistic image. If making trouble in heaven is his entrepreneurial history, then learning from the west is his heroic spectrum. Journey to the West experienced eighty-one difficulties. Among many stories, especially at the beginning, when the Monkey King and Tang Priest were together, they saw a monster and killed him with a stick. As a result, the Tang Priest recited a spell, and the Monkey King had a headache. He returned to Huaguoshan and finally returned to Master, tossing and turning. In fact, the Monkey King knew that after such various aspects, one difficult story after another, he became more mature, not smooth. So in Monkey King Thrice Defeats the Skeleton Demon, you can see many concentrated stories about Journey to the West, and the Monkey King is so wise and mature. After he found the village girl, he didn't kill her with a stick immediately. Through several collisions and contacts, Tang Priest also knew that the Monkey King might have his reasons. But there's nothing I can do. Tang Priest thinks it is a man, not a demon. Not that monsters can't fight. As a monk and exorcist, his thoughts are understandable, right? Therefore, in the whole story of Monkey King Thrice Defeats the Skeleton Demon, it gives us a lot of life wisdom and inspiration of life philosophy. After the Monkey King was driven back to Huaguoshan, some plots were still fresh in everyone's memory. According to the general acting skills, it may be that the Monkey King has returned to his own Huaguoshan. Like the king of the cottage, it should be a very relaxed and pleasant scene to eat and drink freely with many little monkeys, but it is not the case when we are dealing with it. The Monkey King is wearing a red cloak and pheasant feathers. All states are the Monkey King's personality, and there are many little monkeys everywhere. Giving him fruit and drinks is actually equivalent to drinking water, and so on. Is the Monkey King happy? When the little monkey delivered the fruit, the Monkey King shook his sleeve, and the little monkey was nervous. Why is our king unhappy today? In fact, the Monkey King, everyone knows that he is the missing owner. I looked up slowly. You may remember this line. I said that I was in water curtain cave, and my heart followed the scriptures. Master, where are you? It is these plots that make the audience feel the Monkey King's bravery and loyalty. Tang Priest is the Monkey King's savior. Anyway, I should go back to protect Master as soon as possible. Everyone knows the story behind. Bajie went up the mountain and told the elder brother that something had happened to Master and he was taken away by the devil. At this moment, the Monkey King took Pig Bajie's hand and left without hesitation, and the two of them left despondently. Does everyone know the following story?

In Monkey King Thrice Defeats the Skeleton Demon's story, we can see that in the end, before leaving Master, the Monkey King was actually very, very emotional, because their relationship between master and apprentice was abnormal, like our artistic inheritance, especially the Monkey King, as a mythical figure, was very affectionate and grateful, so he was helpless. His friendship with Master is also a beautiful talk in our present society. So when I went to primary school to talk, I asked my children, how many teachers did the Monkey King respect most in his life? Think about it, son. Two. That's what everyone says. One is the Bodhi founder who taught the Monkey King seventy-two martial arts, and the other is the Tang Priest who saved the Monkey King's life. We say that after the Monkey King became the Great Sage of the Monkey, he was obsessed with his master's feelings. Therefore, each of us should help in our life, and those who have been grateful should have a feeling of gratitude and gratitude. Including the Monkey King, an emotion of other disciples.

In recent years, The Journey to the West has been remake as a classic, especially the story of the Monkey King and Bai has been adapted into a movie. How do six-year-olds view The Journey to the West's remake and re-creation in the face of various versions?

Six-year-old children:

For decades, there have been some different styles of Journey to the West filmed by other Journey to the West crews on our screens. I think they are all good things, and a hundred flowers blossom. If the Monkey King doesn't all have the same artistic style as six-year-old children, it's meaningless. This is what I have always advocated and insisted on. I hope there will be more artistic images with different styles. Just like the art of monkey play in China's plays, there are different styles in North and South. For example, in the 1960s, my father was called the Monkey King of the South because he starred in the movie Monkey King Thrice Defeats the Skeleton Demon, and my predecessor, Mr. Li Wanchun, whom I admired and respected very much in the northern school. On the first floor of our art museum, there is a group photo of them, and the North and South Monkey King Party. They learn from each other. I was a young actor at that time and left a very deep memory. Now I also hope that our friends in the entertainment circle can unite and make better works. However, no matter how it changes, there are always some things that remain the same. No matter how The Journey to the West shoots, the soul and core of Journey to the West can't be changed, and the essence can't be changed randomly. Joking is not nonsense, and adaptation is not random. A few years ago, we also saw some stories like Monkey King Thrice Defeats the Skeleton Demon. I mean some TV plays. Among them, the Monkey King and Bai talked about love, the Monkey King called Bai Jingjing, and Bai called the Monkey King Empty. The problem is that many adults may know that this is a joke, and some expressions are out of line. But children and teenagers don't understand. When I go to primary and secondary schools to spread the culture of traveling to the West, many children will ask me, Uncle the Monkey King, how many female monster friends did the Monkey King have on the way to learn from the West? So I think this is a very serious problem. Everyone in China has the obligation to inherit and carry forward the original spirit, and has no right to joke, spoof or blaspheme the original. I said that it is terrible for a nation not to have its own culture, and it is sad not to have its own culture to carry forward. When a nation has its own culture, it is shameful for China people to trample on it. This is my personal opinion. Therefore, I also hope that every audience friend has such responsibility and obligation to pass on the culture and essence of Westward Journey from generation to generation.
