"I want to live forever, to be happy, and to stay in the sky forever, but in the end, those thoughts remain the same ..." Every time I hear this lyric, the first thing I think of is not the high-pitched voice of Teacher Liu Huan, but the sentence "You fell down before I could exert myself!" This line is from the TV series The Journey to the West. I think many viewers have seen it. At that time, everyone had a bad reputation for him, and everyone kept complaining, but do you know why The Journey to the West, who was once a smash hit, had repeated it? The reason is bitter.
The Journey to the West broadcast in 2000. Although the play has been released for many years, people still have a deep impression on it. After all, it is a journey to the west. As can be seen from the 86th edition of The Journey to the West, everyone has a special liking for the dramas with the theme of Journey to the West. However, this drama did not get a good reputation after its release in The Journey to the West, which led to people's voicing. The most important reason is the repetition of actions.
The Journey to the West and Journey to the West are two completely different themes. The latter tells the story of four Tang Priests and disciples who went through hardships to learn from the West, while the former tells the story of Tang Priests and disciples returning from learning from the West. It is said that after the Buddhist scriptures of Taoist priests and mentors in the Tang Dynasty were completed, the big demon killed Lingshan every day and forced the Buddha to reincarnate, making the Three Realms jump for it. Later, in order to save the Three Realms, Tang Taoists and their mentors embarked on the road of looking for Tathagata.
There are also many famous actors in this drama, such as Huang Haibing as the Tang Priest, Heizi as the villain Wu Tian, Ma Yashu as Bai Lianhua and Cao Rong as the Monkey King. His "facial paralysis" also fascinated the audience, especially when fighting. Although the fighting scene was gorgeous, the lines in the play shocked the whole family, because the Monkey King was good at saying "You fell before I had the strength" and repeated the action many times.
But the plot is really good and the sense of logic is good. The only bad thing is that there are too many repetitive actions and the word of mouth is not very good. Later, we learned why The Journey to the West repeated this action many times. It turned out that the film could not be shot normally because of the lack of early time and the withdrawal of investment, so the director decided to extend the time by repeating the action. Many netizens feel bitter after knowing the reason. I didn't expect that there was such a thing behind the original action repetition.
If those repetitive actions are removed, I think the reputation of this drama will be very good, and now the reputation of this drama has also improved a lot. I have to say that the director's approach is also very witty, and it is also a conscience drama, even better than some big special effects film and television works. Now the play has been rehabilitated. It was called a bad film 20 years ago, but it was sealed as a classic 20 years later. There is also a drama "Hero of Stone Dare to Be a Teacher" broadcast on 20 15, which is adapted from the sequel to Journey to the West, but the characters' names have been changed, but the lines and plots are exactly the same as the sequel to Journey to the West, with only 3.7 points.
So, as a spectator, what do you think of this?
