On August 13, the TV series "Skylark Calling to the Sky", in which Liu Xiaolingtong, who played the role of Sun Wukong in "Journey to the West", participated, was successfully completed after 128 days of pre-production. It is reported that the play is directed by Zheng Dasheng, written by Wang Yao, directed by Yang Wei, and starred by Zhang Yishan, Tan Zhuo, Cao Lei, Yang Lixin, Tan Zhengyan, etc. Liu Xiaolingtong plays Jin Kui, the enlightenment teacher of the protagonist Meng Jinfu and a senior who is good at playing Wukong.
The Skylark Calls to the Sky is based on the life of Tan Xinpei, with the protagonist Meng Jinfu's ups and downs as the main line. The story tells the legendary story of Meng Jinfu (played by Zhang Yishan), who graduated at the age of 18, from a martial arts clown to a martial arts actor and then to an old actor, from a newcomer with a bleak future to a famous opera actor in Beijing.
On the day the play was finished, Liu Xiao Ling Tong posted a clip of Meng Jinfu and his mentor Jin Kui learning the Monkey King play on Weibo. Zhang Yishan and Liu Xiao Ling Tong were dressed similarly, each holding a wooden stick to represent the golden hoop. Liu Xiao Ling Tong, who played the role of the master, demonstrated everything from his eyes to his body shape and feelings, which was quite interesting.
Netizens commented: "It's amazing. After so many years, I can still see the Monkey King's appearance at a glance." "Zhang Yishan finally found a life-like role"...
According to media reports, "The Skylark Calls to the Sky" started filming on April 8 at Hengdian World Studios. The 63-year-old Liu Xiao Ling Tong joined the crew in mid-May and experienced the scorching heat in Hengdian with all the actors. It was already very hard to film in temperatures over 40 degrees, but he had to wear winter clothes to film night scenes. It is conceivable that the actors need excellent physical fitness and a high level of professionalism to complete the film.
