The Monkey King in the evil version of Journey to the West referred to the Monkey King played by Cao Rong in the later part of Journey to the West. "Journey to the West" tells the story of Wukong and his disciples who resolved the chaos of the three worlds after they returned from the scriptures. The drama was ridiculed at the time because of its bizarre forms of expression (such as magical shooting techniques, ghost-like screen transformations, and a fight scene was shot with thousands of scenes). However, overall, the story was full, and the plot setting, character creation, and emotions were unique. As time went by, Douban's rating soared to 7.7. Sun Wukong, played by Cao Rong, was described as either fighting or on the way to fighting. As a Hong Kong actor and martial arts director, he was very skilled and won the Golden Horse Award for Best Action Director. In 2020, Cao Rong played the role of the Great Sage Equal to Heaven in the movie "The Godly Needle of the Sea to Subdue Demons" and directed it himself. The story of the film revolved around Sun Wukong's Golden Cudgel. <a href="/?from=ask_words" style="color:red" target="_blank">Read more exciting novels for free</a>
Sun Wukong was also known as the Monkey King, Monkey King, and the Great Sage Equal to Heaven. He was one of the main characters in the Ming Dynasty novel Journey to the West. He looked like a monkey with a sharp mouth and shrunken cheeks. He was a stone ape born from an immortal stone. Because he led the monkeys into the Water Curtain Cave, he was honored as the "Monkey King". In order to learn the art of immortality, he worshipped the founder Bodhi as his teacher and was given the Dharma name "Sun Wukong". After he returned, the demons worshipped him. He forced his way into the East Sea Dragon Palace and obtained the Ruyi Golden Cudgel, the Phoenix-winged Purple Gold Crown, the Golden Suozi Armor, and the Lotus Root Silk Cloud Walking Shoes from the Dragon Kings of the Four Seas. He made a big fuss in the underworld and got the Venus to summon him to the Heavenly Court. He was granted the official title of Ma Wen. Because he hated the small official position, he self-proclaimed himself as the "Great Sage Equal to Heaven" and forced the Heavenly Court to acknowledge him. He also disturbed the Feast of Peaches due to drunkenness, stole immortal pills, and caused a ruckus in the Heavenly Palace. By accident, he cultivated the body of King Kong and the Fiery Golden Eyes. Finally, he was imprisoned in the Five Elements Mountain by Tathagata. After being suppressed in the Five Elements Mountain, he was enlightened by Guanyin. Five hundred years later, he was rescued by Tang Sanzang and gained the mixed name of "Monkey". From then on, he protected Tang Sanzang and went through 81 difficulties to obtain the true scriptures and cultivate the "Fighting Buddha". Sun Wukong was smart, lively, loyal, and abhorred evil. In folk culture, he represented wit and courage. After the novel Journey to the West was written in the Ming Dynasty, its image was constantly transplanted, adapted, and processed in various artistic manifestations, such as monkey shows, paper-cuts, shadow plays, puppets, etc. Even in Fujian and other regions of China, it formed the belief of the "Great Sage, Heaven's Equal" and spread at home and abroad.
The fake Sun Wukong in Journey to the West had many situations. One was the fake Wukong in the story of the real and fake Monkey King. In a sense, it could be seen as the embodiment of Sun Wukong's inner demon. After Sun Wukong was suspected and scolded by Tang Sanzang, his inner demons grew. This fake Wukong had the same magical power as the real Wukong. Even the East Sea Dragon King's Sea Steadying Godly Needle, the Pagoda Heavenly King's Demon Revealing Mirror, and the Guanyin Bodhisattva's Golden Hoop Incantation could not distinguish the authenticity. In the end, Gautama Buddha called the fake Wukong the Six-Eared Macaque. Sun Wukong killed him, which could also be understood as defeating his own inner demons. There were also some imitators in real life who were regarded as " knock-off versions of Sun Wukong." For example, a young man from Hunan was obsessed with imitating Sun Wukong and threatened to hold a concert with Zhu Bajie and Monk Sand at the Southern Heavenly Gate. There was also a high imitation of Sun Wukong who became popular in the TikTok circle. His behavior of eating noodles in a noodle shop attracted the attention of netizens. Although these imitators imitated Sun Wukong in terms of appearance or behavior, they were fundamentally different from the characters in the original novel. <a href="/?from=ask_words" style="color:red" target="_blank">Read more exciting novels for free</a>

The northeast version of Journey to the West's Sun Wukong dubbing video had its own uniqueness. In this kind of video, Sun Wukong's dubbing used the northeastern dialect, giving the character a strong northeastern flavor. For example, in Journey to the West funny dubbing ADC (Journey to the West funny dubbing northeast version), the dubbing of Sun Wukong was completed by Li Shihong and Li Yang from the Beijing opera troupe of the province of Anhui. This dubbing method gave new vitality to the classic characters and made the interactions between the characters full of humor. For example, the dialogue between Sun Wukong and Zhu Bajie in the northeast dialect showed a different kind of interest. However, there were also some voiceover videos that spoofed the northeast version of Journey to the West. Some of the videos used uncivilized language, which caused controversy. Some people thought that it was blasphemy and destruction of traditional cultural works, while others thought that it was just a form of entertainment and should not be taken too seriously. <a href="/?from=ask_words" style="color:red" target="_blank">Read more exciting novels for free</a>
