Gu Bei doesn't like to stand in front of the stage, otherwise, he would have changed careers to be an actor a long time ago, and the experience of making a few cameos before, but all the actors who worked with him have said that he is not an actor, which is really a pity.

The image itself is excellent, and when performing, the state is very relaxed.

This is Director Yang Jie's evaluation of Gu Bei when he was filming "Demon Removal Black Chicken Country" in Yangzhou.

In that episode, Gu Bei played the prince of the black chicken country, and there were several scenes.

Among them, the shots of galloping horses and flying off the horse are still imitated by many action actors.

It's just that Gu Bei has played too few roles, and few people know that the big boss of Mingqian Pictures also worked as an actor back then.

At this moment, Gu Bei came to the stage, facing the lens of the camera, he still felt a little unnatural.

"Hello, Mr. Gu!"

The host hurriedly got up and took two steps forward to shake hands with Gu Bei.

After a few words of greeting, I invited Gu Bei to sit down.

Sitting next to Director Yang Jie, Gu Bei was still a little helpless.

"I called you Mr. Gu just now, in fact, you still have many identities, and Director Yang Jie also said before that you have worked in CCTV for many years."

Gu Bei took the microphone handed over by the staff, nodded and said, "Indeed, I graduated from Beijing Film Academy in 81, and then I went to CCTV." ”

The host then asked: "At that time, as soon as I graduated, I could be assigned to CCTV, did it make many people envious, after all, this starting point ......"

"Not really!"

Gu Bei didn't wait for the supporter to finish speaking, and then spoke.

"At that time, the graduates of Beijing Film and Chinese Opera, when they were assigned, the targets were all major film studios, or repertory troupes, in comparison, CCTV was really not a popular option."

What Gu Bei said was already very polite.

In fact, when he was assigned to CCTV, many people felt sorry for Gu Bei, because in people's hearts at that time, only movies could be called art, TV series, or simply TV shows were just entertainment.

The host didn't expect Gu Bei to say this, and after being slightly stunned, he quickly terminated the topic.

"Director Yang just said that you were assigned to the Journey to the West crew on the first day after you joined the company, were you very excited to participate in this kind of big production."

Hehe!

This host must not have done his homework in advance, if he has done his homework, he will know that the crew of "Journey to the West" is really not a good errand.

"If you want to say excited, I don't feel too excited, the leader assigned the task, and just arranged for me to go to the crew of "Journey to the West", I can only obey the assignment, and ......"

Gu Bei looked at Yang Jie and saw that Director Yang Jie was also laughing.

"Journey to the West is really not a big production."

What?

The host is still too young to know the history of CCTV at all.

"Adapting "Journey to the West", one of the four famous novels, isn't this a big production?"

"However, you have to know that in the whole drama, we only got 3 million yuan at the beginning, of course, at that time, 3 million was already a lot, if I remember correctly, when I first came to CCTV, the monthly salary during the internship was less than 30 yuan, and I went on occasional business trips, and there was a subsidy of five yuan a day, and after I became a regular, the monthly salary was only more than 30 yuan, and 3 million was indeed a lot, but it was not enough to shoot "Journey to the West".

Gu Bei said, and pointed to the producer Guan Xiaoying who was sitting in the audience.

"Mr. Guan knows best, we had just filmed more than a dozen episodes at that time, and the crew had no money, if it weren't for a production teacher in the crew at that time, who brought in 3 million investment from the Ministry of Railways, maybe the crew would have been disbanded!"

I can't talk any further!

The host was a little discouraged, and just now he felt that if he could dig deeper into Gu Bei, this episode of the show would definitely explode.

Now I realized that I was thinking too much, and Gu Bei didn't cooperate at all.

Gotcha!

The topic had to be put to an end.

"Director Yang also mentioned just now that in her heart, you are the most critical member of the Journey to the West crew, what do you think about this?"

I covered my head with the quilt over my head.

"I can't say that, every member of the Journey to the West crew, whether it is in front of the stage or behind the scenes, is equally important, this drama is completed by the unity and cooperation of the big guys, if it were just me, I wouldn't be able to do anything!"

This time, without waiting for the host to speak, Director Yang Jie rushed to say.

"Xiao Gu, you're welcome."

Don't shame me, old lady, okay?

Never mind!

Since Director Yang Jie has to give him a correct name, let's talk about what happened back then!

"I'm not polite, I'm not modest, what I'm saying is from my heart, I joined the group at the end of 81, until the beginning of 88, I stayed in the Journey to the West crew for 7 years, now looking back, although the days were very hard during that time, because the funds were not abundant, the limited money had to be used for production, and other places must be saved, and the food every day was not good, and the housing was not good, just now Zhang Jinlai and Ma Dehua also said that they have been in the crew for several years, and everyone has not made any money at all, But at that time, no one complained, everyone was focused on getting the job done, so I said that everyone is of the same importance to the crew, because everyone's contribution is the same. ”

"I am different from most of the crew, the only difference is that I joined the group a little earlier, and I was in a meeting every day at that time, because to adapt the entire book of "Journey to the West", it is not like the opera stage in the past, excerpt a paragraph, such as "Three Tunes of Banana Fan", "Three Dozen White Bone Spirits", or "Three Explorations of the Bottomless Pit", the whole book has to be adapted, there is no reference at all, how to set the tone? In which direction is the script adapted? It's all a problem. ”

The host interjected a sentence in a timely manner: "Director Yang just mentioned a sentence, loyal to the original work, cautious about renovation, and said that he wants to give humanity to the gods and demons in the story, are these all proposed by you?" ”

Gu Bei smiled: "It can't be regarded as what I put forward, the correct statement should be the result of everyone's brainstorming and discussion." ”

Gu Bei doesn't take this credit, he just read Director Yang Jie's autobiography in his previous life and said it in advance, even if there is no him, can't "Journey to the West" be filmed?

"I have already said that the success of "Journey to the West" is not the credit of any one person, but the result of everyone's joint efforts."

It's really tough!

The host felt like giving up, Gu Bei was slippery, and he didn't play his cards according to common sense at all, and there was no way to go down the interview.

But at this time, the director's prompt came from the headset, and the host immediately cheered up again.

"Many people don't know much about Mr. Gu, but what I want to say is that Mr. Gu's other identity, he not only worked as an artist in the crew of "Journey to the West", but also a very good director, everyone is familiar with "Know", "Wulin Gaiden", "Bright Sword", "Step by Step", and "Water Margin", which is also produced by CCTV, are all Mr. Gu's works."

What are you talking about?

Today is the reunion of the Journey to the West crew, and it is not the reunion of the Water Margin crew.

"Teacher Gu, do you think there is any difference between filming "Journey to the West" and "Water Margin"?"

Is this going to be forcibly dragged back again?

Gu Bei also understood now that Director Yang Jie may have been unintentional, but just wanted to let TV viewers across the country know that he had made contributions to the filming of "Journey to the West".

I didn't expect that the program team would seize the opportunity to dig up news points on Gu Bei's body.

But it has already come up, and Gu Bei can't mess with the situation, but fortunately, the host finally reluctantly re-pasted the problem and "Journey to the West".

"Say something different...... When filming "Water Margin", I didn't need to worry about funding, and I was much luckier than Director Yang! ”

Gu Bei used a mocking tone to brush over this question.

probably sensed Gu Bei's dissatisfaction, and the host did not continue to entangle.

Hearing the director's prompt, he quickly changed the topic again.

"Mr. Gu, you just said that you have been in the crew for 7 years, and you ...... Do you regret it? ”

Gu Bei shook his head: "No, on the contrary, I enjoyed that time very much, if I can be given another chance now, if I go back to the past, I want to experience it again." ”

"You said you enjoyed that time, and I believe there must be a lot of interesting memories, right?"

Is this my interview?

"There are too many interesting things, the conditions were difficult at that time, we could only have fun in the bitterness, we had to force ourselves to be happy every day, if we want to talk about memories, it is too much, if we can't talk about it for three days and three nights, I will say one thing! At that time, the crew was filming "Demon Removal Black Chicken Country" in Yangzhou, and one night filming Zhu Bajie went to Jinglong Palace, because Mr. Ma Dehua was wearing a big belly, and it floated up as soon as he got out of the water, and he couldn't go down, Director Yang shouted above, you go down, go down, but go down! Then I saw Mr. Ma Dehua's two legs fluttering on it, and he couldn't get down......"

Listening to Gu Bei's narration, he probably also thought of the scene at that time, and all the people who had witnessed that scene laughed.

The host laughed too.

After laughing, he received another instruction from the director to end the interview with Gu Bei.

"Mr. Gu, what do you think you have gained the most from working in the crew of "Journey to the West"? ?"

Huh!

That's a problem!

Words of harvest......

Gu Bei thought for a while and said: "The biggest gain should be to teach me, no matter how difficult it is, don't give up easily, I think this is also the central idea of "Journey to the West" to everyone, Tang Seng learned from the scriptures, experienced nine hundred and eighty-one difficulties, and died without regrets, when the crew was filming, speaking from the heart, it was not much worse than the nine hundred and eighty-one difficulties encountered by Tang Seng, many times, for various reasons, I almost had to give up, but in the end, the crew still survived, and this is the current "Journey to the West". ”

After answering this question, Gu Bei was invited, and then one process after another, all the main creators were invited in turn.

"Director Yang gave you the opportunity to make a name for yourself, why didn't you grasp it?"

Li Chengru sat beside Gu Bei and said gloatingly.

is such a classic masterpiece, normal people have to take a little more credit from themselves, and just such a drama is enough to eat a lifetime of dividends.

But Gu Bei pushed it out vigorously, as if he was afraid that others would take any credit to him.

"If your eyes are hot, let Director Yang invite you later."

"Me? Forget it! ”

Li Chengru said, looking at the three Tang monks talking eloquently on the stage.

"Not uncommon!"

When Gu Bei heard this, he followed his line of sight and looked at the stage, and immediately couldn't help laughing.

I'm afraid this guy is still thinking about the role of Tang Seng, right?

At the beginning, Li Chengru was hoping to move Director Yang Jie and let him play the role of Tang Seng.

The result??

Sensei said that Tang Seng was gone, and he waited until he was kicked out of the crew for the third time, and he couldn't even play a little monster.

The show was recorded until just over two o'clock in the morning.

If the home is in the capital, Gu Bei arranged a car to send them home, and those who came from other places were all sent to the hotel.

"Director Yang, Teacher Wang, I'll send you two home!"

Gu Bei directly parked the car in front of Director Yang Jie and lowered the window.

Seeing that it was Gu Bei, Yang Jie didn't refuse, opened the co-pilot's door and sat down, and Wang Chongqiu hurriedly followed and got into the car.

As soon as the car was on the road, Gu Bei heard Director Yang Jie say.

"I didn't expect them to get stalked with you!!"

Gu Bei smiled: "It's okay, I still have to thank you, that is, you always think about me, but ...... Director Yang, I really don't like to stand in front of the stage. ”

Yang Jie nodded, she had already seen it in the recording studio just now.

"I didn't think about it that much, I just think that your contribution to the crew should not be buried, but should be known to everyone!"

Gu Bei hurriedly said: "Director Yang, it's not necessary, it's really unnecessary, we worked hard to shoot this drama, and no one expected to get anything from this drama, we just wanted to do one thing." ”

Teacher Wang Chongqiu, who was sitting in the back, heard the words and hurriedly said: "Xiao Gu is right. ”

Director Yang Jie sighed: "I haven't understood it yet, okay, no matter what you say, today is a success, but it's a pity, I'm afraid it's not easy to get together so many people in the future!" ”

Everyone has their own life and work, plus some of the crew members are old, no one is a monkey, and if they can jump out of the Three Realms, they are not in the Five Elements, no one can say for sure, when they will be ticked off by Lord Yama from the book of life and death.

I'm afraid it's going to be difficult to hold such a big party again.

Hearing Director Yang Jie say this, Gu Bei also felt a burst of sadness: "Director Yang, there is no banquet in the world that will not be dispersed, besides, this banquet has been dispersed twenty years ago." ”

At the beginning of 88, the whole drama of "Journey to the West" was completed, and everyone went their separate ways at that time, who would have thought that there would be a chance to meet again?

After a while, Gu Bei was about to speak, but when he turned his head, he saw that Director Yang Jie was already asleep.
