Speaking of the 86 version of " Journey to the West ", the first thing that comes to mind is " Sun Wukong " played by Liu Xiaolingtong , and "Zhu Bajie" who is lazy and lustful.
However, , who plays Zhu Bajie, Ma Dehua , is a person with a loyal and very diligent relationship in reality.
What everyone impressed most about "Zhu Bajie" is the sentence that often talks about "Reply to Gao Laozhuang Marry Gao Cuilan ."
Zhu Bajie gave people the impression of lustfulness because he was demoted to the earth in the early stage of teasing " Chang'e ".
However, Ma Dehua, who failed to marry Chang'e in the play, married a beautiful wife like "Chang'e".
How did the two meet? Why did Ma Dehua win the hearts of a beautiful woman?
1945, Ma Dehua was born in a Huimin family in Beijing. His father was engaged in business and his family was in good condition. Ma Dehua had no worries about food and clothing since he was a child.
As the only seedling in the family, Ma Dehua was highly expected by his parents. After all, he would inherit this huge family business in the future.
But Ma Dehua doesn't like business and armed.
When he was a child, his parents were very strict with him. Other children were playing outside and he had to study at home. When they finally had time to go out, the children all went home.
Bored Ma Dehua was wandering on the street and accidentally passed by a family. The family was a Peking Opera actor who often practiced opera in the yard.
Ma Dehua was fascinated by the fact that he would go to listen to the opera whenever he had time. He gradually became fond of Peking Opera .
Since he was a child, Ma Dehua is still quite talented in opera, but his father disagrees very much.
"I asked you to practice martial arts to strengthen your body. Who will take care of the business of opera? "
Therefore, in 1958, Ma Dehua wanted to apply for Beijing Opera Academy , but was found by his father and locked up at home, so he missed the exam.
1960, Ma Dehua became smart and secretly ran to sign up. When his father discovered that, Ma Dehua had already received the admission letter.
My father was very angry and picked up the rolling pin and beat it. After a while, Ma Dehua's back became bloody, but he never said a word.
If it weren't for the mother stopping her, Ma Dehua might have been beaten out.
Relatives also rushed to persuade him when they were relieved. After their father was relieved, they set a rule for Ma Dehua: "If you want to learn from me, I can let you go, but this is the path you choose yourself. Even if you regret it, you can't give up halfway."
The process of learning opera is very hard, especially the basic skills you have to practice every day. It is difficult to persevere without some perseverance.
Fortunately, Ma Dehua has been practicing martial arts since he was a child and can tolerate all these hardships. Three years later, he has become a real Peking Opera actor.
After coming out of Beixi , Ma Dehua was assigned to the Chinese Peking Opera Troupe. However, he was a newcomer and failed to get reused. Every time he went on stage, he played the role of supporting role.
This situation continued until the merger of Peking Opera Troupe and Kun Opera Theater. Once Ma Dehua was really bothered, so he found a Kun Opera teacher to explain his situation.
The teacher told him: "Even the protagonist needs supporting roles to set off. As long as you stand on the stage, there will be no truly insignificant roles."
After hearing this, Ma Dehua suddenly realized. From then on, he would prepare carefully no matter what role he plays, and gradually gained a lot of audiences who like him.
Ma Dehua mostly plays clowns on the stage, often making the audience below laugh.
And among these viewers, a beautiful girl was looking at Ma Dehua on the stage without blinking.
This girl is Hou Yumin, and she is still a fan of Ma Dehua at this time.
Hou Yumin's family runs a clinic. Ma Dehua occasionally gets injured while singing opera. The clinic where he saw the doctor belongs to Hou Yumin's family.
At first, Hou Yumin was just a fan of Ma Dehua and liked the actor very much, but after a long time of contact, the two of them also developed a good impression on each other.
Before this, Ma Dehua was introduced to blind dates by colleagues in the troupe, but none of them succeeded. Ma Dehua didn’t have many requirements for his future wife, only three points: filial piety, pleasing to the eyes, and being able to live.
and Hou Yumin just satisfies these three points. During a date, Ma Dehua was wearing a pair of patched pants. When he sat together, the patches on his pants were just exposed.
Hou Yumin asked curiously after seeing it: "Where did this patch come from?"
Ma Dehua said: "It was my mother who made it up."
I thought Hou Yumin would show a ridiculous expression, but I didn't expect that she was very natural and even praised: "Auntie's skill is really good, it's so beautiful."
One sentence made Ma Dehua believe that this is his future wife.
And when the two got married, Ma Dehua's career also ushered in new opportunities.
Once the group was preparing for the drama "Sun Wukong's striking a banana cave". The actor who played "Zhu Bajie" had something to do and the task fell on Ma Dehua.
Ma Dehua took the initiative and brought "Pig Nose" to the stage. After the performance, the audience made the audience laugh.
He also formed a relationship with "Zhu Bajie".
When Ma Dehua returned to the background to remove his makeup, he found a woman sitting in his seat and was smiling at him.
This woman is the director of the 1986 version of "Journey to the West", Yang Jie .
At this time, Yang Jie was preparing to film "Journey to the West". After watching Ma Dehua's performance, she had a profound impact on him. I hope he can play the role of "Zhu Bajie".
filming TV is different from acting in dramas. Although the roles are the same, Ma Dehua is still a little nervous and feels that he is not competent.
However, Yang Jie was very patient and came to persuade her again and again until Ma Dehua agreed helplessly.
In many documentaries, we can see that the crew of "Journey to the West" was very difficult, especially the character "Zhu Bajie". Although he was lazy in the play, he worked very hard when filming. In addition to applying thick fake meat and fake ears to the face for makeup, cotton should be stuffed into the fake belly.
It's quite warm in winter, but every time I change the props in summer, the skin on Ma Dehua's stomach is soaked in sweat.
Don’t look at “Zhu Bajie” being fat, Ma Dehua lost a lot of weight while filming. Because this makeup is not convenient to eat, in order not to delay filming, he can only eat liquid food.
When he first took on this movie, many people around him advised him, but his wife was very supportive. Although she felt distressed when she saw her husband working hard, she still respected the other party’s career very much.
When shooting Tongtianhe , for the sake of the actor's safety, the crew itself chose to shoot in shallow water. However, Ma Dehua's costume props were too heavy, and it was full of cotton inside. After absorbing water, it could not float at all, but drifted further and further along the river.
Ma Dehua himself can't swim and can only keep struggling in the river. Fortunately, a staff member rescued him.
The actors in the crew of "Journey to the West" worked very hard, and their efforts were rewarded.
This drama triggered a hot frenzy as soon as it was broadcast, and major satellite TV stations repeatedly broadcasted it, setting a rating record.
Every character in the play is still a classic one until now, and even though he was remade many times later, he still cannot surpass it.
Looking at Ma Dehua's experience, netizens discovered that "Zhu Bajie" is the biggest winner in the play.
In the play, "Zhu Bajie" loves beauty when he meets each other, thinking about "Gao Cuilan" and thinking about "Chang'e".
However, in reality, he married Hou Yumin, a beautiful woman like "Chang'e".
The drama was filmed for 6 years, and Hou Yumin also gave birth to a son for him during this period.
During the filming, the two were separated, but their wife always kept the house in order. However, Ma Dehua had never had any scandals when facing many beautiful actresses in the crew.
Sometimes Hou Yumin would be worried about her husband and asked her good friend to pretend to call him: "Teacher Ma, I am your fan. Can you have a meal with you?"
and Ma Dehua refused without thinking: "I don't know you."
After Hou Yumin took the initiative to talk to her husband about this matter. After hearing this, Ma Dehua laughed and said: "I already have such a good wife, enough."
Now Ma Dehua is 77 years old and has been a model couple in the circle for 50 years.
Since "Journey to the West", Ma Dehua has also tried to play other roles, but his "Zhu Bajie" is so deeply rooted in the hearts of the people that it is difficult to bring in no matter what audience they play.
And as his son grew up, Ma Dehua gradually stepped back and took over the family's business.
is now worth over 100 million under his management, and his son is also very handsome.
Some netizens think that he is like Liu Xiaolingtong, and is restricted by a character for the rest of his life.
However, it is a great honor to have a classic character that can be passed down in your life.
