1979 The Life of Idle Fish

Chapter 382: It’s hard to invite the king of the daughter country
Life without worries is so comfortable and contented.

When I have nothing to do, I go for a run, read books and newspapers, practice calligraphy, and amuse my children.

Under the wise leadership of Luo Tao, both Fuxing and Xichang companies have achieved outstanding results.

On this great day of celebrating July [-]st, the two companies have delivered a perfect answer.

The scorching sun disappeared, revealing a half-smiling face.

It has always been peaceful to my Hundred Flowers Courtyard, but an acquaintance who has not reunited for a long time is ushered in.

"Ouch! Lao Li, look at you, you're here right now, why are you still getting so many gifts? You're so out of touch. Come on, sit inside."

Luo Tao was quite aware of Lao Li's visit. Needless to say, he was definitely here for the king of his daughter's country.

This is related to the most well-known role of his daughter-in-law. Luo Tao showed extreme enthusiasm for Lao Li's arrival.

So much so that Lao Li had hallucinations, thinking that it was because the two hadn't met for a long time.

"Don't worry, this is just a few things, I can just take it. It's been a long time since I've been here, and this yard looks even more attractive... Mr. Luo, to be honest with you, I just like to see this classical beauty. I can’t get tired of watching it.”

He was even more enthusiastic when meeting Luo Tao than when Luo Tao saw him. Both hands were occupied by gifts, which could not stop him from shaking hands with Luo Tao.

The gift box in his right hand was not placed directly on the ground. It was tucked under his arm. He looked a little semi-paralysed and stretched out his short hand to shake hands with Luo Tao.

Luo Tao wanted to help him, but it was a pity that he had the ability and could not use it.

Lao Li also has a way of speaking.

As soon as he entered the door, he began to praise the yard. His thinking was often one step ahead of others.

"Cough! That's as good as you said. In my opinion, your courtyard next to the Forbidden City is better. This courtyard can't compare with yours. This alley is said to be a place where birds don't shit. Son, it’s not an exaggeration.”

Luo Tao greeted him humbly and led him into the house to drink tea.

"Master Luo, you are too modest. Isn't the old saying said: The mountains are not high, if there are immortals, they will be famous. If the water is not deep, if there are dragons, there will be spirits. This is a humble house, but I am virtuous.

Mr. Luo, what I said is not wrong, right? "

Seeing that people are all pulling ancient prose, citing scriptures and allusions, it seems very knowledgeable to speak out.

Luo Tao was humble again and praised him a few words.

The two of them entered the house and put their things in a corner of the main hall. Luo Tao greeted: "Come on, we haven't seen each other for a long time. I wonder how your filming went?"

Of course, when we first met, we had to reminisce about the past, and it would be too boring to go straight to the topic.

"I'm dissatisfied with you, why is the group in chaos now?"

He looks pretty good now. Once a person has hair, he looks particularly elegant. Now he is a very energetic young man.

He didn't seem very reserved in front of Luo Tao, but he wasn't very relaxed either.

With a cigarette in his ear and a porcelain teacup in his hand, he whispered to Luo Tao with his neck crooked.

What this "chaos" should mean is that Xu Tangseng is leaving the group and taking exams to go to university.

Why does he want to leave the group and go to college at this time?

Not many people are optimistic about this version of "Journey to the West" now, and most of them are negative critics. The situation is even worse than that of "A Dream of Red Mansions" next door.

The 86 version of "Journey to the West" is the first CCTV version of the Four Great Classics to be shot together.

It was filmed in early 1982, and the first episode of "The Demon-Removing Black Chicken Country" was piloted in October of the same year.

Testing the waters with an episode like this is like writing a web article without the "three golden chapters". Let's play it on a standalone computer first.

Director Yang is also the first generation of female TV drama directors in my country. Wouldn’t you like to make some war dramas and patriotic films?
In the early 80s, filming monsters and monsters was just something new and different.

The leaders of CCTV should have had other ideas, and they did not try to kill him, but adopted a semi-supportive approach.

Judging from the staffing of the crew, it is not difficult to see that CCTV executives are not optimistic about the crew of "Journey to the West".

Because the gap with the crew of "Dream of Red Mansions" is too big. It was not easy for the 86 edition of "Journey to the West" to be successful. On the way to learn the scriptures, the Tang monk changed three times.

It's taboo to change actors midway, which shows that it's not easy.

When Luo Tao heard what he said, he paused for a moment. Thinking of Elder Xu's appearance, jealousy arose in his heart.

"what happened?"

If you know, pretend you don't know, and just ask curiously.

He sighed and said that Elder Xu was leaving the group.

He also sighed, "Tell me, if you had chosen me to play Tang Monk, why would such a bad thing happen? When Lao Wang leaves, I will give it a try. Well, I can't talk about this."

Luo Tao glanced at him twice. He took a closer look today. Not to mention, Lao Li's appearance is good for playing the role of Tang Monk. At least he will not have a scandal with Zhu Lin after the episode of "Qu Jing Daughter's Kingdom".

Ugh!
Luo Tao sighed in his heart: Director Yang doesn't know how to choose actors.

"That's, that's,..."

The two of them just drank tea and chatted.

"Master Luo, is Teacher Zhu Lin at home?"

Luo Tao took a sip of tea, thinking that he had finally gotten to the topic after holding it in for so long.

"She, doesn't she stop acting now? She is a restless person, so I will let her go into the company to do some things. She should be busy now. What, do you have anything to do with her?"

Asking her to go out to act can't be that easy, it must be a little more difficult.

Not to mention the three visits to the thatched cottage, it is up to the head of the crew to say how this happened!
"Oh."

He looked a little lonely. From Luo Tao's tone, he probably didn't want Zhu Lin to go out to act again.

But the role of the King of the Daughter Kingdom was appointed by Director Yang.

Many people were chosen for the role of the king at first, but Director Yang was not particularly satisfied. Later, in order to appease Teacher Yang, who played the role of the White Bone Demon, he agreed to compensate her with the role of the King of the Daughter Kingdom after she played the role of the White Bone Demon.

After she finished playing the role of the White Bone Demon, Director Yang broke the contract. The reason given was that her performance of the White Bone Demon was too good and he was afraid that if she played the king again, the TV audience would skip the show.

No matter how many stories and what-ifs there are, as an audience member who watched the 86 version of "Journey to the West", Zhu Lin's role as the king of the daughter country is still unforgettable.

After this incident became unpleasant, they could only shoot and break up.

Director Yang can only press hard to audition for the role of the king of the daughter country.

Hundreds of photos of beauties were sent to the crew of "Journey to the West" from all over the world, but none of these beauties caught the attention of Director Yang.

For several days in a row, she had been worrying about this role, and sometimes she fantasized about letting the "White Bone Demon" play the role. Would it be okay?

After finishing work for the day.

When I went out to relax, I came across a billboard from the 80s with a huge poster of "Life" on it.

She looked at Zhu Lin who played the heroine of "Life" on the poster, and her eyes lit up.

"Isn't this the King of the Daughter Kingdom that I have been longing for?"

She quickly returned to the set and asked someone to contact Zhu Lin.

Lao Li and Zhu Lin were old classmates. When they heard that she was asked to play the role of the king of the daughter country, they volunteered to come.
