What is the relationship between the 86 version of Journey to the West and opera?

The 86 version of "Journey to the West" borrows from opera because of the times, but "Journey to the West" has its particularity. Because, "Journey to the West" is naturally suitable for opera! It's not that I have a soft spot for opera, opera is not suitable for all "costume films".

If you shoot "Romance of the Gods", the background is the Shang Dynasty, then the Peking Opera "Anti-Five Levels" is probably not easy to use. Because "Romance of the Gods" and "Journey to the West" are different. "Journey to the West" is completely a fairy world, and there is very little involved in the real society.

So, a book of the Ming Dynasty, a heart of the Ming Dynasty, and a group of immortals of the Ming Dynasty. "Journey to the West" is simply born for the opera that matured in the Ming Dynasty.

As we all know, the 86 version of "Journey to the West" is the work of the late director Yang Jie, who is the director of CCTV's opera program, and in the eighties of the last century, it is in the early stage of the development of the TV industry, so Yang Jie draws on a large number of traditional opera characteristics, such as the modeling of the characters in the play, such as an episode must have a collective appearance, etc., such as the martial arts part is extremely freehand, such as an episode of a story, etc., with the help of these opera characteristics, the large-scale mythological stories can be presented in a clearer context.

It is built on the basis of opera performances. It is a great gathering of decades, even hundreds of years of opera performance experience and performing arts talents. In a sense, the 86 version of "Journey to the West" is not so much a pioneer of a new era, but a master of the previous era!

Because at that time, filming serials was a novelty. There is no advanced experience, and everyone is moving things from traditional opera.

Many characters in the 86 version of the TV series "Journey to the West" can bring the essence of the famous book to life, which is inseparable from the actors' opera skills, such as the two characters of Monkey King and Zhu Bajie, because their faces are glued to masks, their faces are basically invisible, so in terms of character building, eyes and body are particularly important.

Director Yang Jie focused on opera actors when choosing actors, and the opera actors who participated in the filming accounted for 1 3 of all actors. The actor of Sun Wukong, Liu Xiaolingtong, is from the monkey king family of Zhejiang Shao Opera! Chi Chongrui, the actor of Tang Seng, is also from a Peking Opera family, and he is also a rare seventh-generation Liyuan family!

Ma Dehua, the actor of Zhu Bajie, was an ugly actor in Peking Opera earlier, and later changed to Kunqu Opera! Yan Huaili, the actor of Sha Seng, is not only a drama actor, but also participated in the 70th version of the Peking Opera movie "Outwitting Tiger Mountain".

Almost all the actors are opera actors, and the unique aura of opera actors is something that other actors do not have.

If the actor does not have the foundation and skills of opera, he can't play the demeanor and feeling of Sun Wukong or Zhu Bajie, and he also lacks an inspiration to shape the character, Zhu Bajie's actor Ma Dehua is a Kunqu opera actor (Beikun), in the performance of the play, he combines the characteristics of Li Youchun and Qilingtong in the opera, and then forms his own style through the means of life screen.

Judging from the opera performances that the three actors of "Journey to the West" borrowed when creating characters and the skills that rely on opera, without opera, many characters in "Journey to the West" would not be so vivid and classic.

Born in the "Monkey King Family", Liu Xiaolingtong once said that he could not play Sun Wukong if he had not studied opera, because some of the signature moves brought by monkey opera skills could not be learned by others.

For those who use all singing, Zhang Zongyi also suggested that all faces be painted.
