Speaking of the most classic TV series in our country, "Journey to the West" must be among them. It carries the youth of too many people. Since I was young, I have been chasing "Journey to the West" every day until I grow up. Wen "Journey to the West", it has always been a TV series that accompanies our growth.
Since the book "Journey to the West" was published, it has been loved by the public, and many people have spoken of it very well. Lu Xun once said: "The humorous novel "Journey to the West" written by Wu Chengen contains Confucianism, The three religions of Buddhism and Taoism contain profound content. It is a mythological work that contains the meaning of resisting feudal rule. Wu Chengen is good at comics. He said that the emotions of monsters are close to human feelings, so everyone likes to watch it. "Z1z
was later reproduced into a TV series by director Yang Jie, which was even more widely circulated. In addition to the four protagonists,
also has a protagonist-the white dragon horse, who is white and very spiritual, but the final ending of the white horse playing the white dragon horse is not as good as the white dragon horse ending in the play.
Director Yang Jie looks for the white horse
When we watch "Journey to the West", we habitually call it the four masters and apprentices to learn the scriptures from the west. In fact, we should be more rigorous. White dragon horse.
Bailongma was the second apprentice to come to Tang Seng. Bailongma was actually the third prince of the Dragon King of Xihai. He did a rebellious act and set the pearl on the palace on fire. He was informed by the Dragon King of the West that the Jade Emperor convicted him of death. It was because the Bodhisattva Avalokitesvara of the South China Sea interceded for mercy, he was saved from death and was demoted to the Eagle Sorrow Stream of the Snake Panshan Mountain. Later, he was enlightened by the Bodhisattva and transformed into a white dragon horse, and followed Tang monk to learn from the West.
Because the white dragon horse is all white, it can be said that a lot of effort has been spent on finding a suitable white dragon horse.
At that time, the funding of the crew was not as sufficient as it is now, and there were not so many investors following behind to invest money. The funding of the crew had to be carefully calculated, and to find a suitable white horse, not only had to consider The issue of funding has to be close to eye. In the early stage of
, director Yang Jie sent someone to find a suitable horse to return to every place. There were a lot of inconveniences. There was no guarantee that a suitable horse would be found every time, just like the "three fights against the bones" scene. The staff only found a pony that was more than one year old. Tang Seng's actor did not dare to ride on it. The whole scene could only be led by Zhu Bajie.
If you buy a horse, the cost will increase a lot. There must be a dedicated person to take care of the horse’s rearing, and there must also be a dedicated means of transportation. Once the horse gets sick, the cost of treatment will be a sum of money. An additional cost of more than 100,000 yuan has been added.
At first, out of this consideration, Director Yang Jie did not buy a horse. Later, the drawbacks of not having a fixed horse to film the show were revealed. Director Yang Jie finally decided to buy a horse.
Director Yang Jie looked for a lot of horses and was not satisfied. Later, he photographed a white horse in Inner Mongolia. This horse is a military horse. The aura is naturally different from ordinary ones. Director Yang Jie is very satisfied, but this horse The horse has a special status. As a military horse, it can only be rented but not sold. Once sold, it will be expelled from the military.
Director Yang Jie repeatedly pleaded with the owner of the white horse, that is, the leader who raised it. In the end, the leader reluctantly gave up his love. In order to help the film and television works, he decided to sell the white horse to the director Yang Jie. Not willing to accompany his comrade-in-arms. Because
is a military horse, he has been trained since he entered the army. The white horse is very docile. After entering the crew, the white horse is deeply loved by the crew and is also a good actor in this "Journey to the West".
's six-year life with the crew
has started its acting life since the white horse entered the crew. In the play, the white dragon horse came to Tang Seng second and spent a long time with Tang Seng. Tang Seng's master and apprentice experienced ninety-eight. The Eleventh Difficulties, for Baima, who plays the white dragon horse, has also encountered difficulties in the past few years following the film crew. The crew of
rushed all the way, because they had to go to different places to learn from, the crew went through twenty-six provinces. In the middle, they stepped into the mountains and into the forest. The white horses followed all the time. They did not fall behind. They encountered several dangers in the middle, and finally all the dangers were turned away. The most thrilling time was when filming in Jiuzhaigou.
There is a scene where the white dragon horse is going to step over the top of the waterfall. In the actual shooting, because the stone at the top of the waterfall was too slippery, the white horse just stepped on it.When I went up, I fell down. I struggled on the ground several times and couldn't stand up. The people in the crew were panicked for a while, but they didn't know what to do.
Fortunately, a herder passed by and knew how to rescue the white horse in this situation. With the help of the herders, the white horse was successfully rescued. With the comfort of everyone, the white horse slowly recovered.
There are many injuries, large and small. I have been to deserts and some rugged places during the filming. One time I was filming in Suzhou. The white horse got off the truck because the ground is very difficult to walk. I was injured and it took a long time to recover.
was filmed in winter on a piece of ice. The surrounding temperature was very low. During the filming, there was a scene in which Monkey King was pulling a white dragon horse across the ice. The white horse’s hoof slipped on the ice and then fell directly. , This fall was also very serious, and the cold weather left the root cause of the disease.
keeps walking along the way and keeps getting injured, but Baima still insists on following the filming of the crew, and suffers all kinds of injuries silently. This is its strong character as a military horse.
White Horse’s bleak life in his later years
took six years to complete the filming of "Journey to the West". After completion, everyone followed their own life trajectory. The exception was White Horse, because it was sold to the crew, and White Horse is no longer there. With military status, he couldn't return to the head of the group. After finishing the filming of the TV series, White Horse's mission was completed. It was processed like the other props of the crew. White Horse was sent to the Wuxi Film and Television Shooting Base.
Director Yang Jie, who completed the filming of the TV series, is still busy with the promotion and release of the TV series. This is a long time. When everything comes to an end, Director Yang Jie thinks of Baima, and I don’t know what happened to the old friend who accompanied her on the filming. So, Director Yang Jie immediately went to Wuxi to visit White Horse.
It’s just that Director Yang Jie didn’t expect that she would see such a white horse, locked in a small space, her body was dirty, there was a trace of a military horse, she was thin, she said she didn’t have any energy. Not too much, Director Yang Jie left sad tears for a while.
Originally, in these days at the Wuxi film and television shooting base, the white horse was not taken good care of, but used as a tool to make money. Because it was the white dragon horse, many people went to watch it. The white horse was regarded as a commodity in the exhibition. , If you give some money, you can still touch it, and you can ride it twice with more money. The military horse that once galloped on the battlefield has now ended up as a money-making tool.
As people’s interest slowly declined, Baima no longer had the qualifications to make money, and was sent to another place. The experience over the years has made Baima very tired. Director Yang Jie couldn’t bear it. Keep asking the staff to feed the white horses.
, however, passed away shortly afterwards. At the time of his death, he was in a gloomy cave and was not well buried, but was buried in an unknown place. Z1z
Summary: Z1z
Zhuangzi once said: “If there is a gap between the world of life and the white horse, it will suddenly be over.” The life of the
white horse is like this. From a majestic war horse to an old horse with a bleak ending, his life should not have been. It looks like this. It was born a war horse, and it should have the pride of a war horse when it grows up, but its trajectory has been changed. When it was sold to the crew, all its glory was gone, and it was no longer a horse. The military horse is just a tool horse for shooting. After completing its mission, it is arranged to a place to play its remaining value. Even if
is sold to the crew, the white horse is still so docile, and it gets along well with everyone in the crew, and it still has its own aura. If you have been living with the crew, maybe the white horse will be in his last old age. It won't be so bleak.
