Tang Seng is not a good master, at least in "Journey to the West", the three apprentices of Wukong, Bajie, and Sha Seng insisted on getting the true scriptures and coming back, but this master was changed three times in the middle! (Not counting the sequel to '98.) [Reading.com])

Wang Xiaohu doesn't remember who was the first actor to play Tang Seng, in short, I didn't see him at the dinner today, I am more familiar with Xu Shaohua and Chi Chongrui, I heard that the former went to college after filming a part, and the latter took the former's robe and white dragon horse and finally retrieved the true scriptures, which can be regarded as a Tang monk whose merits are deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

Because when I was a child, I watched "Journey to the West" for the Monkey King, who let Brother Monkey follow one hundred and eight thousand miles, and he can do everything to subdue demons and eliminate demons, on the other hand, Tang Seng's mother-in-law and mother all the way are very annoying, Wang Xiaohu watched it seven or eight times and didn't tell that Tang Seng was filmed by three actors, and I can't help but admire Director Yang Jie for being very good at selecting actors.

After communicating with Yang Jie and others today, Wang Xiaohu probably guessed why "Journey to the West" had been filmed and tossed for more than ten years in his previous life, and it can be summed up as nothing more than three points: lack of money, but technology, lack of equipment, if you add the lack of Tang Seng, it is four shortages, and Yang Jie can still shoot "Journey to the West" so deeply rooted in the hearts of the people under the premise of the four shortcomings of many difficulties, Yang Jie is absolutely indispensable.

Fortunately, the first three deficiencies are no longer a problem, Wang Xiaohu has decided to spend money, technology, and equipment to make up for the regrets left by his previous life, and strive to make "Journey to the West" be filmed in one go within a few years, creating the most beautiful and sophisticated version in history.

It just so didn't see the actor who played Tang Seng coming over tonight, so he asked, "Why didn't you see Tang Sanzang." ”

Yang Jie smiled bitterly when she heard this, and said, "Mr. Wang is asking Wang Yue?" ”

"Huh?" Wang Xiaohu nodded, and his heart turned out that the name of the first generation of Tang Seng was Wang Yue.

"He was driven by me to experience life at Fahua Temple." Yang Jie explained: "After all, he just graduated from film school, although he has some acting skills, he doesn't understand Buddhism, and he can't play Tang Seng." ”

"Oh, he's still a student in the acting department of the film school, huh?" Wang Xiaohu said with a smile, I just don't know if he was there when he gave a speech at the film academy.

"Hey. Mr. Wang, you may not know that the current college students are very arrogant, I asked him to shoot Tang Seng, and he was worried that he would be stereotyped as a monk by the audience from now on, so it took a lot of speech to invite him over. Yang Jie then poured bitter water on the topic: "And now that the domestic film market is heating up, Wang Yue said that he wants to make movies, and I'm worried about it these days." ”

Wang Xiaohu frowned slightly, thought about it and said, "Since he wants to make a movie, you can let him do it." ”

"But if he leaves, where can I find a suitable Tang monk?" Yang Jie said embarrassedly: "Our side is not like Mr. Wang's Concord and Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, it is difficult to find good actors." ”

Wang Xiaohu touched his chin and shook his head with a smile: "It's easy to find, I remember that there is an actor named Chi Chongrui who is good, handsome in appearance and has a good cultivation, Director Yang might as well contact him." ”

"I know him."

A very inconspicuous person at the table raised his hand and said, "My lover is from the same unit as Chi Chongrui." ”

"Who is this?" Wang Xiaohu asked, in fact, he felt that this person was very strange at the beginning, and he wanted to ask later.

"Oh, his name is Li Chengru, the crew of the crew, he does all kinds of rough work, and he has also been trained in the amateur acting class of the Film Academy." Yang Jie explained.

"Huh." Wang Xiaohu said with a smile: "Since your lover knows Chi Chongrui, it is better to invite him over and let Director Yang take a look, the province will delay the filming progress without a master in the middle of the filming." ”

"That's what Mr. Wang said." Yang Jie nodded hurriedly.

Don't look at Yang Jie is 52 years old, it's the first time to be a director, she is definitely a newcomer in front of Wang Xiaohu, and the opinions put forward by Wang Xiaohu today are very pertinent, people send equipment, technology and money, and never interfere with the normal shooting matters of the crew, which makes Yang Jie feel extra warm and very useful.

"Hey, Hong Kong's film and television development atmosphere is good, and it's no wonder that people can make blockbusters like "Mulan". Yang Jie sighed in her heart.

After talking about business, the atmosphere was more harmonious, and everyone was drinking and eating with laughter.

Before leaving, Wang Xiaohu said to Yang Jie: "Director Yang, this is my personal contact information, if you encounter any problems during the filming, you can find me." ”

"Mr. Wang, you are really my great nobleman, I don't even know what to say." Yang Jie was moved.

"Then don't say anything, Director Yang, your task now is to finish filming "Journey to the West" as soon as possible, and then bring a few boxes of film to our Concordia International to do post-editing and special effects improvement." Wang Xiaohu said with relief: "I am looking forward to China's first mythological drama, and I want to broadcast it in Hong Kong!" ”

Early the next morning, Wang Xiaohu and Li Ka-shing and dozens of other wealthy people met in Zhongnanhaimen, and they didn't wait too long to meet Chief Deng directly. This made people including Wang Xiaohu very surprised, and they didn't expect that it was Chief Deng who wanted to talk to him.

The way of talking is more special, Chief Deng and every rich man are in contact alone, Wang Xiaohu drank tea in the reception room for a long time, and a circle of rich people were also finished talking to Chief Deng, and when they came out, everyone's face was full of excitement and even excitement, it seems that the hearts of these old guys are completely let go.

"Lao Wang, the chief is waiting for you inside." Zhao Gang walked into the reception room and said.

Wang Xiaohu nodded, put down the teacup and walked away, the whole process was quite relaxed and comfortable, which was very different from the initial fear of Li Ka-shing and others.

If you want to be nervous, Wang Xiaohu is a little bit, but he has met and talked to [***] six years ago, and after that experience, he is now very calm and calm, because he believes that Chief Deng must see everything he has done in his eyes.

"Come, sit." When Chief Deng saw Wang Xiaohu come in, he smiled and pointed to the sofa next to him, took out a red panda cigarette with an extended filter and said, "Do you smoke it?" ”

"Thank you, chief, I don't smoke." Wang Xiaohu hurriedly waved his hand.

After the chief lit a cigarette, he thought for a while and said, "Xiaohu, do you know why I talked to you at the end?" ”

Wang Xiaohu shook his head and smiled bitterly and said, "I don't know." ”

"Huh." The chief said: "I recognize what you have done over the years, using movies to make Chinese culture go abroad has largely adapted foreigners' perceptions of China, Xiaohu, you have done a good job." ”

Wang Xiaohu listened quietly, to be honest, it was not easy to be recognized by China's reform and opening up engineers, and he smiled and said: "Xiaohu just did what he could, in fact, I didn't do very well in many aspects." ”

"It's already precious." Chief Deng flicked the cigarette ash and continued: "I heard that when "Shaolin Temple" was released, you once proposed to rescue the project of Chinese martial arts, is there such a thing? ”

"Yes." Wang Xiaohu nodded and replied without being humble or arrogant: "Actually, it shouldn't be a Chinese martial art, but a national martial art." ”

The chief smiled when he heard this: "Is there a difference?" ”

Seeing the chief's meaningful smile, Wang Xiaohu was suddenly puzzled, there must be a difference, who doesn't know that the current Chinese martial arts are all performance dances, and the real national arts are to protect the family and defend the country.

But soon, Wang Xiaohu thought of something in his heart, and said boldly at the moment: "Chief, Xiaohu just wants the people to maintain that spirit of self-improvement, and has no other meaning. ”

"Well, if that's the case, then my side has passed."

Coming out of Zhongnanhai, Wang Xiaohu sighed involuntarily, he finally understood why the national art evolved into a dance technique, some things were not reborn, if he didn't talk to the chief today, he couldn't figure it out even if he wanted to break his brain.

There is only one truth, that is, after the founding of the country, the country deliberately weakened the national art, and then guided it to the way of performance, as for the reason, it is simply simple, this may be the biggest difference between politicians and ordinary people.

But fortunately, the chief still passed his own plan, and the next step is to set off a plan to save Chinese martial arts across the country according to the model of saving Shaolin Temple boxing.

Wang Xiaohu, as the general initiator of the entire plan, will be responsible for all the rescue funds, for which he has no complaints, on the contrary, if after this large-scale rescue plan, the Chinese martial arts after the baptism of the Cultural Revolution will enter a new stage, Wang Xiaohu can choose the successor of the future kung fu film.

After this conversation, Li Ka-shing led other tycoons back to Hong Kong, while Wang Xiaohu bought some gifts and went to visit Liao Gong accompanied by Zhao Gang and Minister Huang.

In the intensive care ward, Liao Gong held Wang Xiaohu's hand and said, "Xiao Wang, you have won glory for China this time." ”

"I would also like to thank Liao Gong for helping Xiaohu solve the problem of Taiwan's blockade in July this year." Wang Xiaohu said.

"Didn't you just write a letter to Jingguo, you don't need to be so polite, not to mention that I just mentioned your matter by the way."

What the two of them are talking about is that in July this year, Liao Gong publicly wrote a letter to Taiwan President Chiang Ching-kuo, in which he hoped that the two sides of the strait would put aside their past suspicions, start a phone call, and try to cooperate again, so as to "meet each other with a smile and a grudge."

Liao Gong added another sentence at the end of the letter, which roughly means that I heard that you banned Wang Xiaohu because he cooperated with China to make films, and now Wang Xiaohu is committed to promoting Chinese culture, and he should not be treated unfairly.

After six years of blockade, Taiwan's door can be regarded as reopening for Wang Xiaohu. This is also the main reason why Wang Xiaohu must come to visit Liao Gong when he enters Beijing this time.

"Xiaohu, you have to work harder in the future." Liao Gong patted Wang Xiaohu's hand.
