先是一阵狂舞“如意金箍棒”,紧接着一个漂亮的后空翻,脚尖落地,棍棒一收,手举额头上观望一番,随后一阵抓耳挠腮……

“呵呵,俺老孙给乡亲父老拜个早年!”围观的村民刚从惊险的动作中回过神来,就“轰”的一下被逗乐了。2016年1月26日,在山东莘县王奉镇北王奉村一片小树林里,乡村“美猴王”王怀见正在拍摄贺岁短片。

今年29岁的王怀见,因表演猴戏为人们熟知,被誉为乡村“美猴王”。2006年9月10日,是王怀见一生难忘的日子,在聊城市百货大楼,他见到了偶像六小龄童,并亲眼观看了猴戏表演。“永远忘不了六小龄童抱着我的肩膀,我们在一起照相的情景,那天晚上我都激动得难以入睡”。这一面之缘,改变了从小喜欢《西游记》痴迷孙悟空的王怀见的一生。此后他瞒着父母辞掉了工作,全身心钻研猴戏,下定决心要当“美猴王”。

“学猴戏不能只是简单模仿几个动作。”王怀见说,“为了练好真功夫,我通过视频截图反复观看六小龄童的经典动作和眼神,为了一个动作我要反复练习,直到做到神似。”有一次做后空翻,他的头部栽倒在地上,一下子昏迷了过去,多亏救助及时才侥幸脱险。为了让自己的形象更逼真,他还特地找人比着自己的脸型制作了猴王面具。

看到儿子整天不务正业,拿着一个铁棒挥来舞去,这让王怀见的父母忧心忡忡,起初一个劲地劝说阻止。直到后来,王怀见在年集上的一次表演登上了家乡电视台,这才让父母很自豪地觉得儿子“是那块材料”。

为了追逐梦想,2006年底王怀见去了北京,做了一名群众演员。那时情况不太好,一个月没有几场戏,没有戏演就没有收入,他只能靠兼职勤杂工维持生计。2008年,四川汶川发生地震,王怀见只身赶到绵竹市汉旺重灾区,在那里,他给武警官兵和受灾群众表演猴戏,两个月里演出了50多次,当地的孩子们都亲切地喊他“猴哥”。

2011年开始,王怀见从痴迷猴戏表演慢慢转向自编、自导、自演有关孙悟空的影视作品。当时他从亲戚家借了一个小DV,靠着当群众演员时学来的摄像、编剧知识,竟然拍出了自己的第一部作品《游梦》。其中孙悟空开三轮车的镜头在网络上非常火,他还被誉为“乡村美猴王”。截至今天,王怀见已拥有七部影视作品,其中新作《紫霞恋悟空》颇受各界好评。在猴年春节期间,王怀见忙得不亦乐乎,他成了各家电视台晚会争相邀请的美猴王。同时,由他自导的一部猴王贺岁的微电影也在紧张拍摄之中。

○ 十年苦练让王怀见身怀绝技。Ten years of hard training provides Wang Huaijian with unique skills.

○ 美猴王的化妆很繁琐,妻子为他化妆。The makeup of Monkey King is complicated. His wife applies makeup for him.

Wang Huaijian, who is 29 now, is famous for performing monkey shows and is praised as the “Rural Monkey King”.

“Learning monkey show doesn’t mean just simply imitating some movements,”said Wang Huaijian. “To master the real skills, I repeatedly watched Zhang Jinlai’s (Liu Xiao Ling Tong) classic actions and eye expressions on video screenshots. I even practiced a single action over and over again until I achieved an excellent likeness.” To make his monkey image more lifelike, he even asked someone to make a Monkey King mask for him.

To chase his dream, at the end of 2006, Wang Huaijian worked as an actor in Beijing. However, the situation was bad for him. He only performed a few shows each month, so he had not much income. He had to work as a part-time handyman to make a living.

In 2011, Wang Huaijian gradually turned from being obsessed with monkey show to self-arranging, self-directing and self-performing Sun Wukong-related films and TV programs. So far, Wang Huaijian has seven films and TV programs, in which, his latest work Zixia Loves Wukong has received high praise from all walks of life. During the Spring Festival of the year of monkey, Wang Huaijian was busy. He became the Monkey King invited by lots of TV stations for evening galas.
