editor: the little tree takes root

speaking of the 1986 version of "journey to the west", everyone must be familiar with it.

it can even be said to be the childhood memory of every generation~

but i remember that the tv stations would start playing it repeatedly during the winter and summer vacations!

this classic tv series has created many famous scenes and lines.

silver horn king's: "if i call you, will you answer me?"⬇️

the scene where sun wukong transforms into tang monk and bravely enters the kingdom of daughters⬇️

and the question which is still very popular now is: are you the rescuer invited by the monkey?

this sentence was actually said by red boy in the chapter "battle with red boy".

red boy is the child of bull demon king and princess iron fan, nicknamed the holy infant king.

can spit out three kinds of true fire, and has great martial arts skills⬇️

it is said that eating tang monk's flesh can make one immortal.

just pretend to be a child who made a mistake and was hung on a tree by his parents, and design a trap⬇️

even sun wukong and zhu bajie couldn't do anything to him.

finally, it was guanyin bodhisattva who subdued him and took him as the good fortune boy.

i was very impressed by this naked kid back then.

the little boy who played red boy is now a phd in computer science from the chinese academy of sciences!

#this should be the highest degree among child stars...

the boy who plays red boy is zhao xinpei, born in beijing in 1977.

when he was a child, zhao xinpei was lively and playful like many other children.

when i was in the kindergarten class,

an opportunity came to him by chance.

the movie "growing up" being filmed in beijing urgently needed a child actor, so they went to a nearby kindergarten to select one.

unexpectedly, zhao xinpei was chosen to join the group.

starred in the first movie of his life.

the gears of fate start turning...

in 1982, the filming plan for the tv series "journey to the west" was officially launched.

journey to the west is one of china's four great classics and the first of the four great classics to be adapted for film.

it's not an easy task to remake it into a tv series.

at that time, there were only several million yuan in funding.

there was even only one camera for the entire crew, without multiple camera positions and angles.

director yang jie took on this important task.

she is the first generation of television director in china and the first female producer in china.

after experiencing many difficulties such as changing tang seng three times and stopping filming due to lack of funds,

the role of red boy has not yet been finalized.

at this time, yu hong, the script supervisor of the "journey to the west" crew (also the wife of liu xiao ling tong), recommended a child to the director - zhao xinpei.

he and yu hong met on the set of "growing strong".

yu hong thought that the child was very talented, so she recommended him to director yang jie.

the strict director yang jie really likes this lively, naughty and cute little boy.

after letting zhao xinpei try out several scenes, they decided to let him play the role of red boy.

the lively and cute appearance and performance make the character of red boy vivid and lifelike.

#this acting is really amazing...

as everyone knows, red boy appeared on camera with his butt naked at that time.

many people also teased zhao xinpei about his naked buttocks.

i also feel a little embarrassed.

but i am still willing to make sacrifices for the role.

at that time, he was only eight years old and was very hardworking.

the filming conditions at that time were very difficult.

it was summer, and not only was it hot, but there were also many mosquitoes in the woods.

at that time, zhao xinpei was only wearing a red bellyband and was hung on a tree with a hemp rope for a whole morning.

even though his hands and feet were sore, he didn't complain or cry.

director yang jie is also "ruthless and merciless".

when zhao xinpei was tearing the strips of cloth on his body with tears in his eyes,

director yang jie immediately asked him to film the scene with swollen eyes.

so the final effect is natural and smart.

after six years, the "journey to the west" finally achieved success, and the tv series "journey to the west" received great attention as soon as it was broadcast.

in 1987, the "qitianle" spring festival gala directed by yang jie was broadcast on cctv.

this evening show invited the creators of "journey to the west" to perform.

everyone celebrated the spring festival on stage in costumes.

among them is "red boy" zhao xinpei.

#zhao xinpei also achieved success again: appearing naked on cctv

the role of red boy played by zhao xinpei made him quickly famous, and he received many film contracts and advertising collaborations.

just when people thought he was going to enter the entertainment industry,

however, he rejected these invitations and went back to elementary school.

at that time, the school was undergoing classroom reform, and computer courses were added to primary school classrooms.

zhao xinpei developed a strong interest in computers.

after that, he did not appear in the entertainment industry again.

being smart and hardworking, he achieved very good results in the college entrance examination and was admitted to peking university.

zhao xinpei never thought that he could gain fame and fortune by acting.

he just took it as an interesting little experience in his life.

because he found what he really loved when he was in elementary school - computers.

after entering university, zhao xinpei chose computer science as his major.

in 1999, he graduated from peking university with excellent academic performance.

he was admitted to the university of chinese academy of sciences to pursue a master's and doctoral degree, continuing to study computer-related majors.

he is always full of motivation and enthusiasm when it comes to things he loves.

i have always insisted on the path i have chosen.

in 2014, zhao xinpei and his entrepreneurial team partners founded beijing nongguanjia technology co., ltd.

he serves as cto (chief technology officer) in the company.

he wants to use his skills and expertise, taking advantage of the new trend of internet+,

help farmers solve planting problems and agricultural product sales problems,

contribute your own strength.

two years later, the app they developed was officially launched on the market.

this is the first app in china to serve modern agricultural production.

now zhao xinpei is a shareholder and executive of many technology companies in beijing, and continues to move further and further on the entrepreneurial road.

from the national child star "red boy" to today's startup company partner.

zhao xinpei is not after fame and fortune.

just to be able to do what i love to the extreme.

having goals and ideas, finding what you want to do and your own value are more precious than gaining short-term fame and fortune.

final word

come to think of it, i am one of the people who have seen the naked buttocks of a phd from the chinese academy of sciences.
