　　At the end of 1981, CCTV decided to put the classic classic "Journey to the West" on the TV screen. At that time, there were many difficulties in shooting such a TV series.

　　However, the crew headed by Director Yang Jie overcame all kinds of difficulties and spent six years to finally complete this seemingly impossible task.

　　Due to lack of funds, the entire crew had only one cameraman and one camera. Instead of moving the track, I replaced it with a bicycle driven by two people ... I just managed to do it all and finished the 82 edition of "Journey to the West".

　　In order to save money and also for the convenience of shooting, "one person decorated with many angles" is a common thing. Many actors have played other roles: monsters, passersby ...

　　"Journey to the West" cast actor Xiang Han plays multiple roles such as Black Bear Monster and Shunfeng Ear; supporting actor Li Jiancheng also plays many small roles in the play, including Benboer Ba, Kaye and so on.

　　Funding is not enough, acting skills come together. At the time, it was difficult to see that so many roles were played by one person.

　　Although the conditions are more difficult, from the front to the back of the scene, everyone in the crew is very attentive.

　　In the 82 edition of "Journey to the West", except for the necessary special effects, the others are real shots. Both Pig Bajie and Sun Wukong wear makeup on their bodies and wear a "die" on their faces for a long time. It is uncomfortably hot in summer and cold in winter. But none of them complained.

　　In "Battle of the Red Boy", the red boy set fire to Sun Wukong, and the six-year-old boy wrapped in a thick asbestos coat was also really burning. He said that after shooting this scene, the biggest feeling was knowing how it felt to be burnt to death ...

　　Fairy appearances, most of them will use dry ice to create the effect of auspicious clouds. The dry ice was very cold, and the legs felt numb while standing inside. However, Zheng Rong, who plays Taishang Laojun, is basically standing still in the "cloud", afraid of delaying filming time.

　　In order to capture the effect of Tengyun driving fog, the cameraman also had to climb up and down to find the shooting angle. Wang Chongqiu was originally afraid of heights, but after such a toss, the filming of "Journey to the West" was inexplicably good, "I feel like I am not afraid of anything when I carry the camera."

　　There are no leading roles in the crew, including the long-established old artists at the time, all treated equally. Sometimes after the evening filming, everyone helped the crew clean up and move the tools together, including director Yang Jie.

　　As the years passed, the 82 edition of "Journey to the West" was able to impress generation after generation, also because of "love".

　　Yang Jie mentioned in "Dare to Ask Where the Way Is", "Some people think that the three words" Human Feeling "are not related to the mythical story of" Journey to the West ". Wrong! No matter what drama, if you lose" Love ", then There is no soul. " 

　　The gods and demons are all human, and the charm is universal. The affection of mentoring, the love of husband and wife, and the affection of children are all reflected in this old play.

　　Sun Wukong was rescued by Tang Seng from the foot of Wuxing Mountain. At the farmer ’s house where he was staying, Tang Seng sat next to the oil lamp and sewed a tiger leather skirt. Sun Wukong on the side covered the wind blowing with his hand and moved the oil lamp so that Master could see more clearly.

　　The biggest change is the Tang monk. In the episode of "Quan Jing's Daughter Country", there is a "Night Appreciation of National Treasure" drama.
