The original story of Journey to the West was written by the Ming Dynasty novelist Wu Chengen. It told the story of the four main characters, Sun Wukong, Zhu Bajie, Monk Sand, and Tang Sanzang, who went to the West to seek scriptures. The main director of Journey to the West was Zhang Yimou. In 1985, the movie of the same name directed by Zhang Yimou was released and became the first movie in Chinese film history to have a box office of more than 1 billion yuan. The film also became one of the classics in the Chinese film industry.
The director of Animal World, Han Yan, will remake the chapter "The Real Monkey King" from "Journey to the West"(formerly known as "Dare to Ask Where is the Way"). Liu Xiaoling Tong and Ma Dehua would play Sun Wukong and Zhu Bajie again as motion capture actors. This news aroused the expectations of many netizens. The producer of the film was Han Yan's old partner, Chen Zhixi. At present, a group announcement had been released to recruit actors. From the current information, this might be a visual effect blockbuster. Director Han Yan had always been unconstrained and imaginative. His previous works,"Get Out, Mr. Tumour" and "Animal World" had a good reputation. His directing also made the audience look forward to this "Journey to the West: The Real Monkey King." <a href="/?from=ask_words" style="color:red" target="_blank">Read more exciting novels for free</a>

Director Yang Jie faced many difficulties when she took on the filming task of Journey to the West. * * 1. Shooting conditions ** 1. * * Shortage of funds ** - The budget was not enough at the beginning of the filming, and the equipment was simple. The entire crew only had one old camera, and the pictures taken were often fake. Halfway through the filming, all the funds had been spent. They had been rejected by the leaders because all the budget had been given to 'Dream of the Red Chamber', so the production team had to find their own sponsors. The actors and production director found the old leader to pull in three million yuan of investment, but because of the soaring prices, the crew members were tight on food and clothing. In the end, the series was shot four episodes less than originally planned, only 25 episodes were shot. 2. * * Difficulty in shooting due to poor equipment ** - Many scenes were difficult to shoot. For example, simple scenes might take five or six hours. For example, the scene of riding a horse and chasing a rabbit required more than a dozen people to cooperate, and the photographer ran back and forth with the camera, even vomiting; the scene of Sun Wukong being chanted, the photographer needed to be carried by someone to spin counterclockwise, and the world would spin after a few shots. - There were also many problems related to special effects. For example, the scene of riding on the clouds required hanging wire, and the actors were easily injured. Sun Wukong was the most seriously injured, and Tang Sanzang also had the experience of being thrown. When using dry ice to create the effect of riding on the clouds, the workers fainted due to inhaling too much carbon dioxide. Sun Wukong had a fire scene with Red Boy, and Sun Wukong was almost burned to death. - The ADC special effects machine imported from the United States required an additional 50,000 US dollars to purchase the software. Due to the limited funding of the crew, the equipment investment was not increased. 3. * * The filming environment is bad ** - In order to choose the route, Director Yang Jie took the crew to run around the country for three months to determine the route, but it was regarded as using national resources to tour the mountains and rivers. The weather and other environmental factors during filming also brought many challenges. * * 2. Casting ** 1. * * Tang Sanzang's casting is full of twists and turns ** - Wang Yue, who was initially selected, left the crew for personal reasons, Xu Shaohua gave up due to academic problems, and finally Chi Zhongrui joined. Chi Zhongrui was gentle and had deep acting skills. He played the role of Tang Sanzang, who was compassionate, firm and persistent. He was deeply loved by the audience. He shared joys and sorrows with the crew during the filming and forged a deep friendship with the crew. 2. * * It's not easy to choose the role of Buddha ** - Director Yang Jie demanded that the actors who played the role of the Buddha be in place, and 20 actors were not suitable. The makeup artist thought of Zhu Longguang from the Beijing Film Studio. Zhu Longguang began to refuse. After persuasion, he tried the scene. After changing into clothes and sticking Zhusha Zhi on it, it was very suitable. Although he only had four scenes from the 86 edition of Journey to the West to the sequels, his acting skills were superb. He created the image of the solemn, compassionate and wise Buddha to be lifelike. * * 3. The contradiction between Director Yang Jie and the cast and crew ** - After Journey to the West became popular, Singapore invited the crew to perform. Director Yang Jie took Tang Sanzang and his disciples to rehearse, but on the day of departure, Tang Sanzang and his disciples collectively took a leave of absence to earn money. Director Yang Jie was kept in the dark and only found out the truth after reading the report. In addition, Director Yang Jie encountered many difficulties during the filming process. However, the series was only completed after six years of filming. The leader suspected that she was wasting national resources to tour the mountains and play with water by taking advantage of her position. She still had to write an inspection after filming. <a href="/?from=ask_words" style="color:red" target="_blank">Read more exciting novels for free</a>

Director Yang Jie believed that the failure of Journey to the West to meet the public's expectations was a matter of time and opportunity, not her fault. In her autobiography, she also thought that the 86 edition of Journey to the West was more vivid and exciting than the 2000 sequel. She attributed the reason why the reputation of the sequels was not as good as the original to the era and the audience's expectations. After all, only those who had experienced that era could feel the preciousness of the 86 edition of Journey to the West. <a href="/?from=ask_words" style="color:red" target="_blank">Read more exciting novels for free</a>
Journey to the West was a classic with rich content. There were many ways to interpret it. ** 1. The perspective of society and officialdom ** 1. ** Reflects the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty ** - The Heavenly Court was seen as a reflection of the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty. The Jade Emperor was similar to the Jiajing Emperor of the Ming Dynasty. He was superstitious about Taoism and devoted himself to cultivation, just like the Jiajing Emperor, who devoted himself to longevity and did not care about government affairs. - The Taoist ancestor, the Grand Supreme Elder, and the others were hinting at the civil officials of the imperial court. They had great power and appeared to be worried about the country and the people, but in reality, they harmed the public and benefited their own interests. The Jade Emperor could do nothing about it, so he used the Buddhist forces to contain it. - The Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King and his faction were too close to Buddhism. Buddhism was humble in front of the Jade Emperor, but in fact, they secretly cultivated their power. On the surface, they obeyed, but on the inside, they opposed. On the way to the scriptures, the two factions sent people to do official business. They supported the project in name, but in reality, they competed for benefits. Along the way, there were two factions of demons and ghosts. They were transferred away after finishing their work, and the local tyrants without backgrounds were eliminated. - The book revealed the ugliness and internal struggles of the Heavenly Court, as well as Buddhism's apparent compliance with the Heavenly Court and its self-interest. It also hinted at the hardships on the way to the scriptures, reflecting the author Wu Chengen's dissatisfaction with the feudal system and his understanding of the darkness of society. ** 2. Symbol angle ** 1. ** From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine and traditional Chinese culture ** - Sun Wukong represented the mind that grew with enlightenment. The "Crescent Moon and Three Stars Cave" that he was apprenticed to symbolized the place where the mind grew. The combination of the "Crescent Moon and Three Stars" was the word "heart". His master was Bodhi, and "Bodhi" had the meaning of enlightenment. He also symbolized a kind of teacher who transcended the limitations of religion. Sun Wukong's Dharma name, Wukong, corresponded to his mind, which represented the growth of enlightenment. - Zhu Bajie was in charge of the kidneys. Because the kidneys could not be "Wukong" like the heart, his Dharma name was "Wuneng". - Sha Wujing was related to the spleen. The heart was fire, and the kidney was water. Water and fire were transported and transformed by the spleen (earth). The heart, kidney, and spleen corresponded to Sun Wukong, Zhu Bajie, and Sha Wujing respectively, symbolizing the unity of the primordial spirit, essence, and vitality to form Sanzang. - From this point of view, Journey to the West could be understood as a person's mental journey of enlightenment."A trip is a thought." This thought was the distance from ignorance to enlightenment. The 81 difficulties were all mental demons. The Holy Mountain was in the heart. Everyone had a Holy Mountain Pagoda and had to cultivate their hearts under the Holy Mountain Pagoda. 2. ** From the perspective of a character prototype ** - Sun Wukong abhorred evil and dared to offend both the Heavenly Court and Buddhist forces. He had a stubborn temper and there were many possible explanations for his original form. ** 3. Perspective of literary creation ** 1. ** Relationship with other works ** - Among the Four Great Masterpieces, Journey to the West was the most adapted work. It originated from stories such as "The Great Tang Sanzang's Poetry on the Pilgrimage to the West","The Commentary on Journey to the West", and "The Zaju of Journey to the West". The first protagonist of the Journey to the West was changed from Tang Sanzang to Sun Wukong. - At the beginning, the author constructed a magnificent "Journey to the West Universe", setting the time of the universe (such as the number of heaven and earth, the division of one yuan into twelve meetings, etc.) and space (the structure of the four continents, the four seas, the underworld, the celestial heavens, etc.). 2. ** Literature Evaluation ** - Lu Xun believed that "Journey to the West" was a book written by a Confucian scholar, but it was actually a game, not a language. Therefore, the book only occasionally talked about the five elements of life and death, especially did not learn Buddhism. Therefore, there were absurd and nonsensical scriptures in the last chapter. It was because of the mixed teachings that it had been popular for a long time. Therefore, his works were also the same as Sakyamuni and Laojun. The true nature and the primordial spirit were mixed, so that the disciples of the three religions could be attached to it." - Hu Shi mentioned,"Therefore, although he narrates things that change suddenly, but also every word that is used to explain the situation, so that the gods and devils have human feelings, the essence of charm is also familiar with the world, and the meaning of cynicism is contained." The two masters both thought that Journey to the West had the characteristics of "game" and "cynicism." However, Journey to the West could also be said to be a profound book. It was not just a simple game. ** 4. Thematic perspective ** 1. ** Positive energy and harmony ** - Journey to the West could also be regarded as a masterpiece full of positive energy. It was a description of the image of China's "fighting gentleman", a secret manual to free himself from worries, and a classic work of harmony between Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism. 2. ** Dark side revealed ** - The world of Journey to the West was filled with dark phenomena. For example, demons ate people (General Yin, Techushi, etc.), people ate people (the monk king failed), and immortals ate people (Kui Wood Wolf). Buddhism was greedy for money and killed people (Guanyin Zen Monastery coveted the kasaya, and the Great Thunderclap Monastery demanded personnel), Daoism caused chaos in the country (Wuji Kingdom's national master murdered the king, and Bhikhu Kingdom's national master harmed the children), the underworld was bent on favoritism (Judge Cui privately changed the Life and Death Book), and the Heavenly Court was plunged into misery (Fengxian County had no rain for three years, and two people starved to death). <a href="/?from=ask_words" style="color:red" target="_blank">Read more exciting novels for free</a>
