I feel very happy and I am grateful for this era. When you have nothing, hold on to what you have. All the time, calm down.

In fact, a person's "wealth" has two levels, one is the spiritual level, and the other is the wealth level. Therefore, the (wealth) I have gained is not something that can only be felt by hundreds of millions, but also the support and affirmation of generations of audiences.

When we look at Master Chaplin’s works, it is impossible to demand him according to current requirements. I think that the United States is so advanced in high technology that there will be no second Chaplin in the past 100 years, and there will be no second Mei Lanfang in China. This is the reason.

Knowledge is important, but imagination is even more important. Because of knowledge, we can now get all Tang poetry and Song lyrics with just one click from the Internet. Imagination is not available online. What we people lack nowadays is imagination.

In fact, don’t pursue perfection too much in life. In your career, even if you pursue perfection, you will definitely not achieve perfection.

You can’t burn bridges by crossing rivers in life, but you must burn bridges by crossing rivers in art so that you can achieve something. I always feel like my brother is pushing me with a pair of invisible hands, without any way out. That's why I have such persistence and perseverance.

Without Wu Chengen, there would be no Journey to the West. Without Journey to the West, there would be no performances by four generations of our Monkey King family. More importantly, without Master Xuanzang, there would definitely be no novel "Journey to the West". Therefore, the spirit of Journey to the West and the spirit of Master Xuanzang are not only the backbone of the nation, but also the spirit of hard work that every member of the Chinese nation should feel. .

I can play the role of Sun Wukong and have no regrets in my life. I am glad that I have reached such a height, and I dare not talk about transcending it.

Monkey King is definitely the Everest of my acting career. "Journey to the West" is a masterpiece of world mythology. First of all, it is far ahead in terms of script. The Sun Wukong I played in it is a mythical hero with great wisdom and courage. Which other character can compare with Sun Wukong? It is suitable for all ages, elegant and popular. ***Shanghai——is a character image that can be accepted by people from different countries, different races, and different political opinions.

Ten years ago, I felt that I had special abilities and had a lot to do. After 10 years, I will understand that it is very remarkable for a person to do one thing well in his whole life. You see, Master Xuanzang spent his whole life studying and translating scriptures.

I often joke with people, saying that my actual age is 50 years old, but I feel like I am 20 years old, my physical condition is 30 years old, and others look like I am 40 years old. Some viewers wrote to me and said, "You are not allowed to grow old!" I also try to age slowly, but if I delay for a few more years, I will definitely not be so comfortable in acting.

A classmate asked me, "Can various versions be saved?" When you want to appreciate art, watch the CCTV version, and when you want to laugh, watch the funny version? I said there are many ways for you to laugh. Why do you have to make fun of the masterpieces of your ancestors? When you have children, when your children start talking and ask you, "How many girlfriends does Sun Wukong have?" you won't say that.

Adaptation is not random editing, drama is not nonsense, adaptation of famous works has a bottom line, and the basic character of the character cannot be changed.

If the four masters and disciples were more loyal to love than their determination to learn the scriptures, it would completely violate the original intention of this work. If Wu Chengen were still alive, he would definitely have to fight a lawsuit with them and win every one of them!

Sun Wukong is asexual. As soon as a woman appears on the stage, Sun Wukong's eyes will only look at two words, "human" or "demon"? Nothing else! If a woman appears on the stage, my eyes will dazzle, "Oh, this woman is so beautiful!" This play is still going on. Do you have to go on?

Following life and the times, we can also make a new "Journey to the West", but it is not about Sun Wukong falling in love with the White Bone Demon. We call Sun Wukong "Kong Kong" and the White Bone Demon "Jingjing" , but also have to create some emotional entanglements for them. This is not nonsense.

For those who make up "Journey to the West" nonsense, I use Mr. Lu Xun's words, "I won't forgive anyone!" Go into battle naked and fight with them! Some people said, "Sun Wukong is not named Zhang, you can control it." "Are you here?" What are you talking about? I'll take care of it!

I don't reject commercialization. Some technical means and management methods can indeed improve efficiency, but you can't abandon the basic laws of art.

When we were filming at that time, we had to figure out the lines, walk, and feel beforehand. Now if you tell people this, everyone will be happy, "Oh, you are an old artist, what words do you want? Let's talk about it live!"

There are many people who play Sun Wukong, and I personally don't agree with becoming a disciple. What I agree more with is the inheritance of a spiritual concept. Just like what the great painter Qi Baishi said: Those who learn from me will live, and those who imitate me will die. I hope that the other person will eat it and digest it and become your own. This is the greatest ability.

The Chinese nation does not have many world-class masterpieces. Don’t let them be ruined in the hands of our generation. Every Chinese has such a sense of responsibility and obligation. How can we truly tell us the essence of Journey to the West? The next generation.

The biggest feeling I have from Sun Wukong is that he is optimistic, enterprising, unyielding, and never gives up. In the journey from a stone monkey to a fighting Buddha, any one of us can change from an ordinary person. A person becomes a successful person respected by thousands of people. Sun Wukong's hard work, optimism, perseverance, and never give up are a kind of human spirit, not just the spirit of the Chinese nation.

Famous quote: It is better to die in one step to the west than to live half a step back in the east. The greatest inspiration from Master Xuanzang’s life is that if one does one thing well in his life, it is extraordinary. If you are too greedy, you will not be good at it. You have no reason to ask Yao Ming to do somersaults, right? You have no reason to ask Liu Xiang to be a calligrapher? Everyone just needs to do one thing well.

Everyone should not pursue perfection excessively. Everyone is a practitioner, learning lessons from life, and will encounter difficulties, big and small. Persistence. Live!

I have been promoting the art of monkey opera in the first half of my life, and I will inherit Chinese monkey culture in the second half of my life.

The art form can be discussed, but there is no room for discussion in promoting the culture of Journey to the West. . You should be loyal to the original work and be cautious in renovating it.

It is okay to create sequels and new biographies of "Journey to the West", but there should be the most basic creative bottom line. The adaptation cannot be made up randomly, and the jokes cannot be nonsense. The main plot and the characters' personalities cannot be changed, and we cannot make parody of the classics of our ancestors.

My personality is very introverted and not suitable for playing Sun Wukong. Later, I tried my best to change it for this role. . You see, the way I speak very fast and dance with joy only changed after I played the role. I was not like this before.

I used all my efforts to complete the role. He spent his whole life and everything for the birth of the Monkey King on the screen.

The successful interpretation of the Monkey King Sun Wukong must rely on the performance of traditional Chinese opera monkey drama. This is a treasure in the world and unique. , irreplaceable.

Practice seventy-two changes and face eighty-one difficulties with laughter.

The four elements played by the Monkey King are monkey, god, human, and Buddha. The animal nature, its body and its state; the legendary nature of gods, such as the power of gods in the Palace of Heaven and the Dragon Palace; the social nature of human beings, after being rescued by Tang Monk from the Invisible Mountain and having extensive contact with the human world. The emotions of its characters, the seven emotions and six desires, are expressed more completely and richly.

It would be terrible if a nation does not have its own culture. It would be very sad if it does not promote its own culture. It would be very sad if our people still make fun of it if they have their own culture. Shameful.

For famous works, we Chinese only have the responsibility to respect, inherit, carry forward, and innovate, but we have no right to spoof, tamper with, or tarnish~~ Adaptation is not random fabrication, joking is not nonsense, and myths are not for you to tell. Nonsense.
