He was the only one who acted the Tathagata alive. When he traveled to Thailand, he found himself painted on the Buddha. What happened later?

The Journey to the West is one of the Four Great Classical Novels in China. This book has a great influence and was loved by many people at that time. Readers of all dynasties have different interpretations of this book. Later, this work was remake into a TV series, and the most classic version was the 86th version of The Journey to the West. Everyone should have seen this play, and it has become a favorite work of the national audience. At that time, the development of China TV series was still relatively slow, and the director spent a lot of energy to make this play well. It took several years for the creative staff to finally finish shooting dozens of short episodes of TV series.

After it was broadcast, it won wide acclaim, and then it was remake into many different versions of the works. Only the old version of The Journey to the West is the most memorable. There are many impressive immortals and monsters in the play. One actor played the role of Tathagata, and his acting skills were superb. The image of Tathagata was later regarded as a real Tathagata. When the actor went to Thailand to buy a Buddha statue, he found that his portrait was painted on the Buddha statue. The male star was Longguang Zhu.

He played the Tathagata in The Journey to the West's work, and the impression of Tathagata in everyone's mind should be very tall. He often wears a golden cassock and sits on the lotus throne, looking particularly solemn. This image is deeply impressed by everyone. Since then, the images of Tathagata in many The Journey to the West films are different. Only Longguang Zhu's Tathagata impressed everyone, and he is basically the same as the characters described in the book.

The male star looks rich, but he also wears a lot of makeup when he plays this role. The role played by Longguang Zhu is so influential that everyone thinks that the role he created is unparalleled. Later, when Zhu Guanglong traveled to Thailand, he bought local specialties by the way. Thailand is a Buddhist country, and they are very kind. There are many Buddha statues and temples here. Longguang Zhu studied the Buddha statue carefully, only to find that it was his own face, which surprised him.

Because of the great influence of The Journey to the West, the old version of The Journey to the West is deeply loved by the Thai people. Businessmen thought that the Buddha looked like this, so they copied the stills and made them into Buddha statues. Longguang Zhu was also in distress when he saw this behind the scenes.

He is just an actor, but he was regarded as a Tathagata by others in a foreign country. If it weren't for the great influence of The Journey to the West's work, I'm afraid he wouldn't have seen this dramatic picture. China's film and television dramas have spread overseas. Besides Thailand, people in Vietnamese, Indian, Philippine and other countries also like watching China's TV dramas.
