Character: The Infatuated Junior Sister of Shanxi Xiaoshuangxia
Actor: Tang Yixin
Do you still remember the infatuated junior sister who had a deep love for the ugly senior brother in "Journey to the West" ? Many people thought she looked familiar when they saw her appear, but they couldn't remember who she was. In fact, she is Qi Guiren in "The Legend of Zhen Huan", Shen Bi in "The Female Prime Minister", Shan Yingying in "The Romance of the Sui and Tang Dynasties"...
Sichuan girl Tang Yixin graduated from Chongqing University Meishi Film in 2010 After graduating from the college, I went to Beijing to develop. There were rumors in the circle that Xingye's "The King of Comedy 2" was casting, and Tang Yixin went there and recorded a video, but no news was received for more than a year. Until 2011, the staff around Xingye called and asked her to go to Hengdian. This time Master Xing asked her to make a bunch of expressions, which was regarded as a second audition. Just like that, she joined the crew of "Journey to the West".
In Mr. Xing’s movie, the actors’ images were all very weird, and Tang Yixin’s face was also painted dirty. She was a little unable to accept it at first, but she was relieved when she got to the scene: "When I saw other actors, they were all... hahaha! It turns out that I am already very beautiful." What's interesting is that the makeup artist made her too dark. It was so dark that even Xingye couldn't stand it. He took a few shots and intervened: "Wipe her clean..."
Character: "Hanyu", the boss of the Five Evils
< p>Actor: Lu ZhengyuShu Qi plays Miss Duan, and the five members of her "Exorcist Corps" are quite scene-stealing. The boss speaks a strange language in the film, and the Internet calls him "Korean Brother." Who plays the role?

At the end of 2007, Stephen Chow was invited to appear on "A Date with Lu Yu". At that time, the program team asked at the Stephen Chow Fans Club: Who can make a short film to pay tribute to the star? Lu Zhengyu, who had shot some DVs, was recommended by everyone. He took over this task and made "Our Story" at zero cost. Star Master liked it very much after watching it. A few days later, Lu Zhengyu received a strange call. On the other end of the phone was Stephen Chow's assistant at the time: "Mr. Zhou thinks your short film is good, and I hope we have the opportunity to cooperate in the future." Unexpectedly, Stephen Chow really did not forget him. Three years later, Lu Zhengyu received a call from the assistant director of "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons". At that time, there were only ten days before the film started filming. When he saw Master Xing in person, he only asked: "Can you help me to write the script with me?"
Lu Zhengyu said that the creative method of this crew is to chat. Even actors, actors' assistants, and workers passing by, the star will chat with anyone he catches. For example, Sun Wukong's line in the film: "Back then, I carried two kitchen knives and chopped from Nantianmen to Penglai East Road." This was actually Lu Zhengyu's whim during the chat. Speaking of Mr. Xing, Lu Zhengyu’s biggest feeling turned out to be “enthusiasm”: “Can you imagine that when giving a demonstration to the extras, Mr. Xing could roll on the ground selflessly? This kind of enthusiasm has been there since he entered the industry. It still hasn’t diminished. I used to think that the secret to his success was strategizing, but it turned out to be meticulous."

Yang Di recalled: "Master Xing said that he saw my performances in "China's Got Talent" and "Happy Camp" in early 2010, and told the staff that he wanted to contact me. I was still recording the show in Shanghai at the time, and the program list I finally found out that I had more than 20 missed calls and unread text messages. When I read the text message, I thought Master Xing wanted to see me. At that time, I thought it was a liar... I didn't expect that after I called back, the other party asked me to go to Beijing for an audition the next day. But unfortunately I was unavailable the next day! Later, I met his spokesman Wei Dashen in Beijing. Mr. Wei took a video of me, and then there was no news from him three months later. He called me and asked me to go to Hong Kong. I came to his office for the first time. He said, pretend that you are participating in an American bodybuilding competition and take off all your clothes - God, I am so thin that you actually want me to act. Muscular Man! Later, there was no news again, but I was very satisfied because I saw Mr. Xing. After a while, I suddenly got a call again, saying that "Journey to the West" had been started and asked me to go to Hengdian..." /p>
Although there were not many scenes, Yang Di's performance left a deep impression on the audience. In the scene, the little device that sprays blood is broken; outside the scene, this device is not very powerful. Yang Di said that many shots were taken during the blood spurting section because the machine had been adjusted for a long time. “First it sprayed too high, and then it sprayed too low.” Master Xing only has one request for Yang Di's performance: "Be calm when you spurt blood." Yang Di said that in his eyes Master Xing is just a big kid: "He likes to tease me, he always says: 'Expression Emperor, come on, show me something!' Then I would perform various expressions, such as 'happy', from level one to level ten. Even when I went back to dub last year, he still asked me to 'perform a bit'. I couldn't help but ask him: 'Mr. Zhou, it's 2012 and you're still doing this?'"
