先是一陣狂舞“如意金箍棒”，緊接著一個(gè)漂亮的后空翻，腳尖落地，棍棒一收，手舉額頭上觀望一番，隨后一陣抓耳撓腮……

“呵呵，俺老孫給鄉(xiāng)親父老拜個(gè)早年！”圍觀的村民剛從驚險(xiǎn)的動(dòng)作中回過神來(lái)，就“轟”的一下被逗樂了。2016年1月26日，在山東莘縣王奉鎮(zhèn)北王奉村一片小樹林里，鄉(xiāng)村“美猴王”王懷見正在拍攝賀歲短片。

今年29歲的王懷見，因表演猴戲?yàn)槿藗兪熘蛔u(yù)為鄉(xiāng)村“美猴王”。2006年9月10日，是王懷見一生難忘的日子，在聊城市百貨大樓，他見到了偶像六小齡童，并親眼觀看了猴戲表演。“永遠(yuǎn)忘不了六小齡童抱著我的肩膀，我們?cè)谝黄鹫障嗟那榫埃翘焱砩衔叶技?dòng)得難以入睡”。這一面之緣，改變了從小喜歡《西游記》癡迷孫悟空的王懷見的一生。此后他瞞著父母辭掉了工作，全身心鉆研猴戲，下定決心要當(dāng)“美猴王”。

“學(xué)猴戲不能只是簡(jiǎn)單模仿幾個(gè)動(dòng)作?！蓖鯌岩娬f(shuō)，“為了練好真功夫，我通過視頻截圖反復(fù)觀看六小齡童的經(jīng)典動(dòng)作和眼神，為了一個(gè)動(dòng)作我要反復(fù)練習(xí)，直到做到神似?！庇幸淮巫龊罂辗?，他的頭部栽倒在地上，一下子昏迷了過去，多虧救助及時(shí)才僥幸脫險(xiǎn)。為了讓自己的形象更逼真，他還特地找人比著自己的臉型制作了猴王面具。

看到兒子整天不務(wù)正業(yè)，拿著一個(gè)鐵棒揮來(lái)舞去，這讓王懷見的父母憂心忡忡，起初一個(gè)勁地勸說(shuō)阻止。直到后來(lái)，王懷見在年集上的一次表演登上了家鄉(xiāng)電視臺(tái)，這才讓父母很自豪地覺得兒子“是那塊材料”。

為了追逐夢(mèng)想，2006年底王懷見去了北京，做了一名群眾演員。那時(shí)情況不太好，一個(gè)月沒有幾場(chǎng)戲，沒有戲演就沒有收入，他只能靠兼職勤雜工維持生計(jì)。2008年，四川汶川發(fā)生地震，王懷見只身趕到綿竹市漢旺重災(zāi)區(qū)，在那里，他給武警官兵和受災(zāi)群眾表演猴戲，兩個(gè)月里演出了50多次，當(dāng)?shù)氐暮⒆觽兌加H切地喊他“猴哥”。

2011年開始，王懷見從癡迷猴戲表演慢慢轉(zhuǎn)向自編、自導(dǎo)、自演有關(guān)孫悟空的影視作品。當(dāng)時(shí)他從親戚家借了一個(gè)小DV，靠著當(dāng)群眾演員時(shí)學(xué)來(lái)的攝像、編劇知識(shí)，竟然拍出了自己的第一部作品《游夢(mèng)》。其中孫悟空開三輪車的鏡頭在網(wǎng)絡(luò)上非?；穑€被譽(yù)為“鄉(xiāng)村美猴王”。截至今天，王懷見已擁有七部影視作品，其中新作《紫霞戀悟空》頗受各界好評(píng)。在猴年春節(jié)期間，王懷見忙得不亦樂乎，他成了各家電視臺(tái)晚會(huì)爭(zhēng)相邀請(qǐng)的美猴王。同時(shí)，由他自導(dǎo)的一部猴王賀歲的微電影也在緊張拍攝之中。

○ 十年苦練讓王懷見身懷絕技。Ten years of hard training provides Wang Huaijian with unique skills.

○ 美猴王的化妝很繁瑣，妻子為他化妝。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.
