Text: Looking at the affairs of the world.
The statements in this article are all reliable**, which are repeated at the end of the article.
Preface. Let's talk about a good news first, this domestic TV series "Journey to the West", which was called the "originator of ghost animals" by the audience, can now be watched in a condensed version, and if it is rebroadcast on the TV station, it should be able to kill a lot of "contemporary suspense and fantasy masterpieces" in seconds.
The plot of this TV series, from the current point of view, is even bolder than "Journey to the West".
It tells the story of 300 years after the return of the master and apprentice, the world was turned upside down in an instant, and all the orthodox Buddhism was imprisoned in the Shura Hell.
At the beginning, many viewers complained about these bold and thunderous settings, but at the same time, they were attracted by the plot and couldn't stop watching.
It has been 24 years since "Journey to the West" was broadcast, and I have watched it rise from the passing line to 78 finally reached the current gratifying 81 point, looking at the posture, there may be a possibility of continuing to rise.
If you have to say who is continuing to score points for this drama, the most likely one should be the "fake Buddha" lawless.
Villains can also "have great love".
Now in some TV series, the character creation is a bit stereotyped, good people must be good to the end, they can't do a bad thing, the bad people are directly bad ** people complain, and the bad ones have no logic, such a character may be good to fill in, but it is difficult to become a good drama when filmed.
In the theme lyrics of "Journey to the West", there is such a sentence: "I want to become an immortal, and my magic is boundless"! This lyric takes up a few seconds for each episode to start, and it is still called a god sentence by many people until now.
But few people know that this sentence does not actually represent the pursuit of those demons and monsters who vainly try to become immortals and dominate the world, but rather expresses the irony of "black-robed lawlessness" to some high-ranking gods and Buddhas.
Wutian was originally also a compassionate "Jinnara" Bodhisattva, as a Buddhist leader, he not only has a lofty status, but his strength is also leveraged, but he is such a Bodhisattva figure, but he was expelled by the Buddha because of his compassion and breaking the vows when he turned a prostitute.
He felt that the Buddha at that time was already a hypocritical Buddha and could no longer resolve his sins, so he spent 300 years planning a change of "stealing the sky and changing the day".
But it is such a big villain, after imprisoning those immortals and Buddhas, he actually let all kinds of demons and monsters pretend, and then continue to maintain peace in the world.
Just saying that this operation is put now, it should be difficult for a screenwriter to write such a pattern.
In addition, Wutian is tolerant of the jealous and hateful Sun Wukong everywhere, and wants to "recruit An" whenever he has the opportunity.
Such a villain with full marks of charisma, action, and strength, it is no wonder that until now, people like it.
The personality of all employees has changed greatly.
In addition to the lawless characters and acting skills, the other protagonists in "Journey to the West" are also unexpected.
Tang Seng, who has become a Buddha, is no longer the "pedantic" appearance of only daring to hide behind the land and reciting the mantra from time to time, on the contrary, the Tang Seng of this TV series can be called a combat effectiveness, dare to fight and dare to rush, and was once known as the Tang Seng with the highest force value.
With Huang Haibing's heroic acting skills, even now it seems that it is a kind of enjoyment.
And the Monkey King of this drama was actually originally scheduled to be played by a six-year-old child.
Although this was a drama with serious water injection at that time, the funder still generously took out an investment of 15 million, so when he hit the sixth child, he agreed to it.
But because "Journey to the West" was so popular, there were many people who wanted to make a sequel at that time, and Liu Xiaolingtong not only accepted the film appointment of "Journey to the West", but also accepted the invitation of "Journey to the West Sequel", which was filmed a year earlier.
The TV series "Journey to the West Sequel" is actually a remake of the entire "Journey to the West".
The plot and characters have not changed much, and the old-fashioned story of "the master was captured by the monster again" is still played, and the response was not good once it was released, which made Liu Xiaolingtong and his family begin to retreat from the spin-off of "Journey to the West".
So when the filming of "Journey to the West" started, Liu Xiaolingtong refused to shoot on the pretext that "my family didn't want me to play a monkey again, and I was prone to aesthetic fatigue".
It's just that his refusal has given birth to the coldest and most serious image of Monkey King at present, which perfectly matches the overall plot of "Later Sequel".
Cao Rong had made a cameo appearance in the episode of "Journey to the West" Nine-Headed Worm before, and as a martial arts instructor, his martial arts movements were crisp and neat, not inferior to that of a six-year-old child.
The only drawback is that he is not like a six-year-old child, who has been exposed to "monkey play" since he was a child, like a "monkey".
The Monkey King he played is upright, and at the same time, he also has various advantages such as calmness, sensitivity, and intelligence, which is exactly in line with the image of Sun Wukong in the sequel in order to break the lawlessness of "stealing the sky and changing the day", reasoning all the way to solve the case and investigate.
Even if a six-year-old child goes into battle, he may not be able to perform this effect.
In addition to Sun Wukong, the gentle and affectionate Biyou Fairy has also experienced a change of role.
Originally, Juan Zi was invited by the director to play the role of "White Lotus" who dared to love and hate, but when he arrived, he found out that this was simply the "Biyou Fairy" who came out of the script.
Especially those gentle eyes like water, not to mention the reincarnation of the Buddha Ling'er can't help but fall in love with her, across the screen, I am about to fall in love with the Biyou Fairy.
The actors' acting skills are in place, the plot development is novel and not old-fashioned, and people from all walks of life not only have a sense of the overall situation, but also decent villains are not face-painted.
Such an excellent domestic TV series was actually a hit after it was broadcast that year, as for why it finally won 3The score of 9 is entirely because there are too many repetitive shots.
It was finally recognized after 24 years.
At the beginning, if this TV series was honestly edited according to the script, it could only shoot 20 episodes, but unfortunately the boss who invested at that time was too greedy and had to be edited into 30 episodes before it was released.
The crew and the later stage thought about it and began to "hard water", which eventually led to missing the best period of "Fengshen".
Because there are too many repetitive scenes, there are many fighting actions, and the audience can clearly remember that it was used in the first few episodes, not only that, but the opening and ending songs of each episode of the TV series are complete**.
What's even more excessive is that for the sake of water time, the director also added a review of the previous situation and character introduction at the beginning of each episode.
Even if it's just a little monster who appears in one episode, it can introduce the audience to the origin and camp.
Of the full 40 minutes of drama, only 20 minutes may be dry goods, and the others are filled with water.
At that time, everyone mainly relied on watching TV series to pass the time, and there was no way to fast forward.
Therefore, this "originator of domestic water injection dramas" really tickles the teeth of popularity, and it is understandable that the score is low.
Suo Xing's overall storyline and actors' acting skills are indeed **, even if you look at it now, it is not outdated at all.
Especially when it was finally discovered that the Monkey King, who had been verified all the way, was actually part of the 16 relics, and he had to sacrifice himself to make the Buddha return, many viewers cried.
And after the return of the Buddha, the disappearance of lawlessness made many people feel stunned.
Every change may also be a kind of progress, all things are born and restrained, although the operation of Wutian is turned upside down, but the side is also reminding the gods and Buddhas:
Becoming a god does not mean being ruthless, and you must not rely on your profundity to be superior.
Otherwise, soon the second and third "black-robed lawless" will reappear!
Epilogue. I want to become an immortal, and my mana is boundless."
Viewers who were not lightly injured by the ghost animal version of the TV set back then can now take the opportunity to re-brush it.
The condensed version of the series can be searched on many platforms, which can not only bring us back to childhood, but also bring us new insights from the plot to the actors.
Approaching the Spring Festival, if the TV station rebroadcasts "Journey to the West", do you think this "ghost and animal drama" can compete with other hit dramas?
