Journey to the West and mysterious coincidences: 33 years, 3 strange stories, 3 lives

Not only a film with a small budget, rudimentary effects, but a carefully selected cast, even with the smallest role, 1986 Journey to the West is also the film with the most mysterious things that still exists. No one can explain it, especially the mystical stories related to the number 3.

3 deaths related to 1 role

Anything related to deat.h is scary and inexplicable. Especially the unexpected coincidence of the deaths of three actors in Journey to the West 1986.

It is the story of two actors who played the same role and died at the same ag.e, even related to the co-star: Yan Huai Le and Vuong Phu Duong.

In 1986's Journey to the West, Niu Ma Vuong was a supporting role, but many people were interested. Although only appearing in 3 episodes, Nguu Ma Vuong also left a good impression in the hearts of the audience.

But few people know that this role is played by two people. Initially, director Duong Khiet thought that Dali Ba playing the role of Niu Ma Vuong would be very suitable, but after the makeup was over, Dali Ba was unwell, feeling chest tightness and shortness of breath, staggered gait, if tried. more dangerous for the actor. For that reason, the director decided to find a replacement actor.

At that time, Diem Hoai Le - who played Sa Tang had a muscular body, 1m8 high, very suitable for the role of Nguu Ma Vuong. After the makeup, Duong Khiet breathed a sigh of relief because Diem Hoai Le's body and figure were perfect. Because of this replacement, the scene that day was completed well.

But in episodes 14 and 17, at that time, Diem Hoai Le was playing the irreplaceable Sa Sang, so director Duong Khiet invited Vuong Phu Duong to play the role of Niu Ma Vuong. Although this make-up and costumes were a challenge for the actor, Wang Fu Tang still did well.

In 2005, Wang Futang died of lung disease. What surprised many people was that four years later, Sa Tang Diem Hoai Le also passed away with the same reason of lung disease.

Not only that, the actor who played the role of Princess Tie Phan (the wife of Niu Ma Vuong) also passed away early. So public opinion can't help but wonder why the role of Niu Ma Vuong has an unsatisfactory ending.

The Mystery of Buddha's Reincarnation

Referring to the role of Buddha in the 1986 Journey to the West, fans will immediately think of actor Chu Quang Long. Possessing a kind face, bright eyes, Chu Quang Long is considered to be a suitable person for the role of Buddha.

At that time, Chu Quang Long was a famous actor, so it was not easy to invite him to participate in the film. Talking about his predestined relationship with director Duong Khiet and his role in Journey to the West, Chu Quang Long said that although he was invited to act in a movie, he did not know what role he would give. At that time, he also said that if he played the role of an elf, he would definitely refuse.

But when he played the role of Buddha Tathagata, he was like a different person. At that time, Chu Quang Long told many stories surrounding the role of Buddha. After finishing the makeup, everyone was extremely surprised by the feeling of looking at Chu Quang Long as if the Buddha was reincarnated. There was a break in the middle of the scene, Chu Quang Long kept his makeup and sat at the foot of a tree, someone passing by thought that the Buddha had appeared and bowed down.

There are even people who bring fruit to burn incense and pray to Buddha. Although Chu Quang Long explained that he was an actor, they said that although they knew the crew was filming here, seeing him was like meeting the Tathagata Buddha. After they returned, he brought fruits and flowers and placed them on the Tathagata's table in the temple because he was not allowed to "take bribes".

Not only has the appearance like Buddha, Chu Quang Long is also a virtuous person, he does not care about fame but only wishes to have a peaceful life. Until now, he still lives his life as a farmer with his family and descendants without paying attention to fame and fortune. And the older he gets, the more Chu Quang Long's appearance resembles his own life role.

At that time, when she and Tang Tang sat reading the script, many people said: "Quan Yin has run out of spirit, it's been raining for a long time and still doesn't stop". However, when the director informed the scene of Guanyin Bodhisattva, the rain gradually fell and stopped completely, the sun came out and the sun was shining brightly.

In another visit to Chengdu to shoo.t a scene in the episode "Ginseng Fruit", at that time it rained continuously so people were worried that they would cancel their work. However, when Ta Dai Phan appeared at the scene with the costume of Guan Yin Bodhisattva, the rain and wind were gone.
