Chapter 172: There is no Monkey King in the world!
Welcome to the audience in front of the TV............ Today, we are also fortunate to have Mr. Zhang, the actor of the Monkey King in CCTV's Journey to the West, come to the show ............." Bei Simiao read the opening remarks.
The audience at the scene was still very face-saving, or the Monkey King played by Mr. Zhang was indeed deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and the applause was thunderous for a while.
Mr. Zhang was still very personable in front of the camera, got up and interacted with the audience, but when he sat down, he was able to glance at Li Mu.
Bei Simiao continued: "In addition, the one on my right is the actor who played the Monkey King in the movie [Journey to the West] - Li Mu. ”
The applause at the scene was also very warm, and it was obvious that Li Mu's popularity was not low, which made Teacher Zhang a little embarrassed, and a smug smile froze on his face.
Bei Simiao said again: "I heard that Li Mu is not only the actor of Sun Wukong, but also the screenwriter of this Journey to the West?"
"Ahh ”
"Really, I've seen the subtitles at the end. ”
Li Mu explained: "Actually, the screenwriter is not me alone, I just sorted out the overall context of the story, and then there is a whole screenwriting team to improve the script, and their signatures are on the subtitles in the later stage, I just rank first." ”
Mr. Zhang couldn't help but be a little impatient, what's the matter with this host? With such a big name as him, don't ask more in-depth questions and talk to a young man about the script?
Of course, as the host of CCTV, Bei Simiao is still very measured, so it is enough to stop here, and turned his head and began to chat with Mr. Zhang again: "Mr. Zhang, as the actor of the CCTV version of Sun Wukong, do you think that these Journey to the West will be transcendent and innovative in the future?"
This question made Mr. Zhang very comfortable, and quickly sat up straight and said: "It's hard for me to say whether there is one that surpasses the CCTV version of Monkey King, naturally there are viewers to evaluate, but I don't think any version of Journey to the West can be compared with the CCTV version, as for innovation, I don't think it's innovation, it's just nonsense!"
Li Mudu couldn't help but secretly pick a thumbs up, I have to say that Mr. Zhang is still very smart, and he didn't directly say that Lao Tzu's Monkey King could not be surpassed, but turned his head to praise the CCTV version of Journey to the West, raising Journey to the West is actually raising himself, and those who have watched Journey to the West know that the most brilliant and majestic in the whole play is not Sun Wukong?
His answer did evoke everyone's memories of Journey to the West, and there was warm applause at the scene for a while.
Bei Simiao turned her head and asked Li Mu: "Then what do you think of the CCTV version of Journey to the West and some sequels in your heart?"
One sentence attracted all the attention of the scene to Li Mu, and Bei Simiao's control of the rhythm was really extraordinary.
Li Mu didn't hesitate to throw out a shocking material: "Actually, I also said before that everyone has a Journey to the West in their hearts, and any adaptation based only on the original work is worthy of affirmation, as for whether the market recognizes it or not, then leave it to the audience to evaluate." ”
Li Mu's words made the audience think, yes, everyone looks at the problem from a different angle, why do you have to use the CCTV version of Journey to the West as a standard to measure the sequel?
Teacher Zhang hurriedly retorted: "What you say, I don't dare to agree, before that, Mi Guo also filmed a Journey to the West, and there was a scene of Tang Seng kissing and hugging, can that also be affirmed?"
Li Mu smiled lightly: "Mr. Zhang, you are secretly changing the concept, what I said before is an adaptation based on the original work, is there such a plot in the original book?"
Teacher Zhang was immediately speechless, and froze there for a while.
"Haha~~~~" There were a few chuckles from the audience, I watched Mr. Zhang's show before, and I criticized some sequels without a complete body, and no one could refute him speechless, people, I always like to watch lively.
Teacher Zhang was secretly frightened, thinking that he had been in the limelight for decades, and he had never met such an opponent, some actors who had played Sun Wukong before, when they saw him, they all consciously lowered their heads and were three points shorter, and they didn't dare to return the mouth when they were sprayed, even if they returned the mouth, he couldn't say it, and today he suddenly encountered such a Li Mu full of aura, not to mention, but also quick thinking and articulate, it is really difficult to deal with!
The first confrontation ended with Li Mu's small victory, and Bei Simiao also took the opportunity to pick up the topic.
"Teacher Zhang, have you seen the recent Journey to the West, what do you think of the Monkey King played by Li Mu?"
This is a bit provocative, and I asked Mr. Zhang why there was no one in his mouth? But everyone who has played the Monkey King has not been sprayed by him?
Sure enough, Mr. Zhang's eyes lit up, and a pair of presbyopia with high myopia were almost glowing with golden light.
"This play, I've seen a little bit, first of all, I want to state one thing, Sun Wukong has never been exclusive to one person, anyone can play it, in terms of art form, I hope it will be a hundred flowers, but I think that since you want to play this role, you have to take on the responsibility of this role, Sun Wukong is a hero, please don't maliciously adapt him casually, for example, with a golden hoop stick on your shoulders, your hands on it, and the appearance of walking with a hanger, especially bad for our teenagers!"
Okay, Li Mu is happy, this speech is really strategic, first said, Sun Wukong is not my alone, everyone is welcome to act, and then said, you can act, but you must act according to mine, people even stipulate the walking posture for you, if you don't act according to it, it is a malicious adaptation, put the golden hoop stick on your shoulder and walk to hang your child, it is to teach bad teenagers, then when we were young, we also learned that you did not take the usual path, and often fell into the flesh, should you be responsible?
Li Mudao: "I don't agree with Mr. Zhang's point of view, actors are just actors, and film and television dramas are just film and television dramas, fearless has too many so-called responsibilities mixed with it, our country has laws, radio and television have censorship standards, and the rest is left to the market to decide, and the audience naturally has their standards in their hearts." ”
The scene gradually sounded sparse applause, Li Mu's words were actually very euphemistic, the country has laws, and the review standards of radio and television have always been very strict, everyone is engaged in creation, and they are already dancing in handcuffs and shackles, it is not easy, why bother to buckle everyone's hats?
But Mr. Zhang didn't buy it, and refuted: "Your point of view is very problematic, as literary and artistic workers, the first consideration is its artistic value, and then its market value.
As soon as these words came out, Bei Simiao's face changed, and the audience instantly quieted down, Teacher Zhang obviously tore his face, and almost pointed at Li Mu's nose and scolded: You kid's big talk about Journey to the West is flattering the audience, it has no artistic value at all, and it is just a garbage movie.
This can't be endured, Li Mu sneered: "Teacher Zhang keeps saying that you can't make up and change it, I don't know if you have read the original Journey to the West?"
Teacher Zhang was stunned for a moment, and then almost didn't jump up as if he had been stepped on by his tail, and said angrily: "Not only have I read it, I have also published a book about Journey to the West!"
Hehe, this book about Journey to the West, Li Mu really knows, but the strange thing is that this person doesn't seem to be a university scholar, he graduated from high school in that era, even if he is equivalent to the current college graduate, what qualifications does he have to write Journey to the West?
And the most disgraceful thing is that he has deleted and modified the original Journey to the West to a certain extent, and he also called it beautifully: remove the dross and take its essence?
Okay, co-authored with what your old man thinks is dross is dross?
"Oh, then how about we discuss the original book of Journey to the West?" Li Mu always sat firmly in Diaoyutai.
Mr. Zhang also seemed to realize that the re-compilation of "Journey to the West" was a black spot for himself, and he quickly calmed down.
"Okay, then let's discuss it!"
Bei Simiao didn't stop when she saw that there was no fight: "Then where do we start?"
Li Mu said: "I don't know what Mr. Zhang thinks, the Monkey King in the original Journey to the West?"
Teacher Zhang didn't want to blurt out without thinking: "Wearing chain gold armor, stepping on lotus silk and walking clouds, phoenix wings and purple gold crown on his head, and a wishful golden hoop stick in his hand, the Monkey King is also!"
When the audience heard it, they couldn't help but think of the classic image of Monkey King in the TV series, and applauded like thunder for a while.
When the applause stopped, Li Mu shook his head and said, "There has never been a Monkey King in this world!"
"You, you're talking nonsense!" Teacher Zhang almost didn't jump, and his voice was a full octave sharp.
Don't say that he can't accept it, even the audience at the scene is a little confused, the image of the Monkey King is already a household name in China, why does Li Mu say that there is no Monkey King in the world?
Bei Simiao answered, "Oh?
Li Mu said lightly: "There are several places in Journey to the West that describe the appearance of Sun Wukong, such as the fourth chapter of the original book, which is described in a poem: wearing gold armor and shining in a golden crown.
Holding a golden hoop stick in his hand, his feet are commensurate with his cloud shoes.
A pair of strange eyes look like stars, and the ears are hard over the shoulder.
Standing up is a lot of change, and the voice is as loud as a bell chime.
The sharp mouth consults the teeth and the horse is warm, and the heart is high to be the Monkey King. ”
Another example is the fourteenth episode of the original work, Tang Seng met Wukong for the first time: sharp mouth and shrunken cheeks, golden eyes and fiery eyes. Moss on the head and dill in the ears. There is less hair and more grass on the sideburns, and there is no need for green sand under the chin..........."
"Another example is the thirty-sixth chapter of the original book, the country of black chickens: seven high and eight low, with a lonely face, two yellow eyes, and a kowtow forehead, and the fangs grow outward, just like a crab, the flesh is inside, and the bones are outside..........."
"Judging from the original book, Sun Wukong has never been a Monkey King, but just an ugly-looking demon monkey!"
Teacher Zhang almost collapsed on the ground: "You, you are talking nonsense!"
