Chapter 80 "Journey to the West" crew
Sitting on the sleeper bench, sitting on the small table, Zhang Shaoping stopped writing for less than half an hour. It was too cold and his arms were stiff. He couldn't move for a while and could not continue writing.
In the 1980s, the climate was not as warm as it was, and it was still cold enough in winter.
Zhang Shaoping wrapped in a thick down jacket, which is a new down jacket developed and put into production in the Han and Tang Fengxing clothing.
In the current world, the most popular coats in the cold winter are leather coats, cotton jackets, etc., and down jackets are rarely worn by people. In mainland China, leather coats are relatively rare, and the most popular ones are military coats. Almost everyone who has the conditions wears one, while those who are the second one wears a large cotton jacket, and then the down jacket is the next one. However, the style of down jackets in mainland China at this time is monotonous, with low down content, large filling volume, and bloated appearance, so there are jokingly called bread jackets. The sales volume in a year is only hundreds of thousands.
But the new down jackets that were popular in the Han and Tang Dynasties are different. They use high-quality down and advanced craftsmanship, which can be said to be novel and varied. Not only is the appearance beautiful, but it also has strong warmth when worn on the body. Therefore, once it was launched, Han and Tang Down quickly occupied the down market at a tornado-like speed, leaving other brands of down far behind with an invincible attitude.
The down jacket is very warm and his martial arts practice is also very strong, but Zhang Shaoping couldn't help but tighten his collar, put on cotton gloves, stomp his feet, and then walked around the aisle in front of the car window, looking at the beautiful scenery outside the window. The beautiful mountains and rivers of the motherland are already snow-white, and it really feels like a vast and vast feeling.
"Mr. Zhang, do you want to come and get some warmth?" asked a staff member.
Zhang Shaoping waved his hand and said, "No need!"
Old-style trains do not have air conditioning, and those who are cold in the cold can only burn coal stoves to keep warm. Because they have to burn coal stoves to keep the air flowing, the windows are not closed tightly.
"There is a station in front, let me take a look... Hubin Station." The train drove past the platform in front without slowing down, which surprised Zhang Shaoping, "Hey, didn't you say the station stop? Why are the trains at Hubin Station keeping stopping?"
As soon as Zhang Shaoping finished speaking, he heard someone crying out: "This comrade, trains are divided into four types: express, direct, regular and commuter, and only those who stop at the station are the only ones."
"Why is only the station stopping?"
It is common for someone to chat on the train, and everyone is familiar with each other. When Zhang Shaoping saw someone slipping, he couldn't help but get interested.
The man patiently explained: "The general train is an ordinary fast train. In the past, there was a name called fast passengers. It mainly carries short passengers between round and buses. It is parked at every small station. Direct fast trains are direct fast trains, which usually only stop at large stations. For example, our soft sleeper car is only equipped with direct fast trains. Other trains are rarely installed. Commuter trains are mainly used by relevant departments and internal employees of state-owned enterprises. There are even fewer express trains. It is said that the speed is very fast, two or three times the speed of direct fast, but I have only heard of it and have never taken it."
The carriage where Zhang Shaoping and others are located has 8 compartments, each compartment with 4 beds. The beds are on the standard of two floors on each side. When you sleep, everyone doesn’t feel crowded.
After hearing this person's words, Zhang Shaoping had a better understanding. Previously, Zhang Shaoping thought this was a hard sleeper, because the bedding facilities and other things were worse than the hard sleeper he had when he was riding the train in his previous life.
The man was very excited. After talking about the train, he also talked about his rich experience of traveling around the world. When the Nankun Railway was first opened, Jinji Village, Jiangxi Village and other small stations were all stopped. It was 234 kilometers and took more than 7 hours. It took Cenxi to Yulin, which took 21 kilometers, which took 45 minutes. Zhang Shao was shocked. He knew that the train was a bit slower at this time, but he never thought it was so unstoppable. There was no slowest, only slower.
"I didn't expect you to know a lot and gain knowledge..." Zhang Shaoping praised, "No wonder I looked familiar with you. I must have seen you somewhere."
"Haha, you must have watched "The Demon-Eliminating the Black Chicken Country" played by CCTV." Hearing Zhang Shaoping's words, the man smiled brightly, "I am Liu Xiaolingtong, the actor who plays Sun Wukong. You have watched TV, so you feel kind-hearted when you see me."
"What? Are you Liu Xiaolingtong?!"
Originally, it was just a casual and polite word, but it made the other party say that he was Liu Xiaolingtong, which made Zhang Shaoping dizzy. At this time, he looked at the man's face. He was very young, about in his early twenties, and his outline seemed to overlap with the vague impression in his memory. Don't say it, it was really Liu Xiaolingtong.
But Zhang Shaoping still asked unbelievably: "The one who performed Journey to the West?"
"Is there a second child in China who is six young, please?" the other party asked back.
Zhang Shaoping was speechless. He could meet Liu Xiaolingtong by taking a train. The crew of "Journey to the West" in the same carriage were the crew members. It was nothing like this when the blind cat met a dead mouse.
Now, no one knows who Liu Xiaolingtong is, but in later generations, you will ask anyone, from the 80-year-old man to the age of a child, everyone will tell you that Liu Xiaolingtong is the most vivid "Sun Wukong", no doubt.
There was once a TV series called "Journey to the West". Once it was broadcast, it caused a sensation across the country, suitable for both young and old. The series has always received praise from the audience. It is the TV series with the most replays, with more than 2,000 replays, and it is still unhappy to watch it all the time, becoming a recognized insurmountable classic.
When it was premiered, when the TV sounded "You carry a load, I lead a horse, welcome the sunrise, see off the sunset, and flatten the bumps and become a road..." The opening song was played, big cities and towns were all "empty alleys" - no matter men, women, young and old, they were all concentrated in the house to watch TV, and the streets and alleys suddenly became empty.
Some people may also say that "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" and "On the Beach" were once empty, triggering a ratings frenzy. In fact, these three dramas were introduced when the mainland's TV industry was at its poorest, and they had an advantage in time. The complete playback of "Journey to the West" was in 1988. At that time, the audience was no longer "rustic buns" and their vision was already being raised. But even in this case, the emergence of "Journey to the West" was still invincible in the world. Even after 20 years, it was still replayed repeatedly in countries around the world.
Knowing that he was Liu Xiaolingtong, Zhang Shaoping was so happy that he quickly called him to sit down and chat. He ordered the bodyguard to make hot water and make tea, and then put some fruits, snacks, candy and so on for the table. Liu Xiaolingtong was also a very relaxed person. Faced with Zhang Shaoping's enthusiasm, he didn't feel restrained at all, but instead bragged to Zhang Shaoping with a smile. The two bragged and fucked, and after talking for a while, they soon became familiar.
When he learned that Zhang Shaoping was not only a compatriot in Hong Kong, but also the main promoter of introducing the TV series "Huo Yuanjia", Liu Xiaolingtong immediately opened his eyes wide and asked curiously: "Mr. Zhang, how do you Hong Kong people do the flying scenes of you flying around in TV series?"
Zhang Shaoping wanted to say that he was not very clear, but suddenly he saw a desire for knowledge in Liu Xiaolingtong's eyes. He immediately turned around and said, "We usually use 'hanging wire', and then use computer stunts to edit it into a portrait of flying and hiding the earth."
Zhang Shaoping followed the idea and explained in detail what "hanging wire" is. As for computer stunts, he couldn't tell the reason. But even so, Liu Xiaolingtong was also interested in listening and said that he was very eye-opening.
However, Zhang Shaoping was also full of doubts. Didn’t "Journey to the West" be filmed in 1986 and played in 1988? Why did it take several years in advance? Is the butterfly effect so sharp that his appearance caused the historical trajectory of the whole world to change? Zhang Shaoping asked indirectly: "When did your crew set up? Has the TV series been filmed?"
Liu Xiaolingtong was unexpectedly there, and said: "Director Yang started to form a crew at the beginning of last year, but the cast and crew have been unable to find each other, and it is delayed. So far, I have tried to shoot an episode "The Demon-Eliminating the Monkey King" and the episode you saw on CCTV last October. We are looking for actors while filming. It may take several months to shoot an episode. I don't know the year of the Monkey and Horse Month. It's difficult!"
Hearing this, Zhang Shaoping remembered some things. Later generations described this version of "Journey to the West" as "Ten Years of Sharpening a Sword". It seems that the difficult birth of this version of "Journey to the West" is not "Ten Years of Sharpening a Sword", but "Six or Seven Years of Sharpening a Sword" is enough. It took several years to make a TV series. Such "silly" behavior is not only difficult for future generations to understand, but even the current Hong Kong film and television industry colleagues are unimaginable and unimaginable. It is not for money, not for fame and fortune, but for a kind of persistence in showing the original flavor of China's four great classics to the world, so that they will have a style of hard struggle and a spirit of selfless dedication.
The two had a great conversation, and in the blink of an eye, half an hour passed, and suddenly an employee exclaimed: "There is a big stop in front... Look, there are so many people!"
"This is Yueyang Station." Liu Xiaolingtong looked up and said.
"Bang!"
The train slowed down and stopped with a bang.
There were crowds of people on the platform, and I don’t know how many people were standing. The train stopped. As soon as the people in the car got off, everyone on the platform immediately rushed towards the train like a rush, rushing up. The crowd was like water, and they could drill wherever there was a gap.
A big man was carrying a big bag and running straight towards Zhang Shaoping's carriage. He pushed the window outside the window and pulled the window. Suddenly his eyes lit up and stopped leaving. He tried his best to lift the window. Then the man took off the linen bag on his body and stuffed it into the window one by one.
Seeing this, Liu Xiaolingtong explained: "He is trying to climb in through the car window." After that, he got up, walked towards the car window, and helped the man outside the car catch the linen bags.
"Thank you, comrade!" When the big man was also pulled in by Liu Xiaolingtong, he kept thanking him.
At this time, Zhang Shaoping walked to the car window, stretched his head to look at the sides, and saw a series of shocking scenes.
Countless crowds rushed to the train. In addition to the elderly, weak, sick, disabled and young, many strong men opened the train windows and climbed in. Someone in the car took the handle and someone helped to lift it outside the car. Zhang Shaoping saw a man, who was raised by a few good friends and stuffed it in the window... For some reason, he was lifted by the people inside and stuffed it out of the window... This man was unwilling to accept it and continued to fight tenaciously, and several brothers stuffed him into the window again.

This time, he was not thrown out.
In Zhang Shaoping's impression, this kind of situation where being able to climb the train is a victory. It seems that it only happens in India, but never expected that in this era, a scene would be staged in front of him.
Zhang Shaoping was stunned, but Chen Feihu, Liu Xiaolingtong and others were no longer surprised and did not change their expressions.
"When you take a train, there are too many people and are seriously overloaded. It will crush the springs in the car and will not be able to drive. Everyone is afraid that getting on the train will be slow and the train will be full, so they have to wait for the next trip."
Hearing Liu Xiaolingtong's explanation, Zhang Shaoping was sweating wildly, and his fragile heart was immediately ravaged by countless grass and mud horses. Damn! He was a human being in two lives, and he had only heard of cars being overloaded, and he had never heard of trains being overloaded. What a powerful traffic of people is overloaded!
