The boa constrictor in The Journey to the West was originally thought to be a special effect. It's too difficult to sigh the actor after seeing the real thing. Why?

The snake essence in Journey to the West is not a special effect, but a real snake.

Journey to the West, a classic TV series, must have been watched by many friends more than five or six times when they were children. At that time, when they heard someone playing Journey to the West, they might stare at the screen. But at that time, there were so few TV programs and no entertainment, so we could only watch Journey to the West to pass the time.

This TV play is still very interesting. In the Journey to the West, we mainly talked about four masters and apprentices, who finally got the true scriptures after 81 difficulties, and in the process, many thrilling things happened. What left a deep shadow on people's childhood was the episode of Snake Essence. This painting is really bad. When we learned that this TV series was shot not with special effects but with the python itself, we were really surprised to think about it now, because some people were born afraid of snakes, so now we have to relive that picture with goose bumps all over.

The filming process of Journey to the West is extremely difficult. Journey to the West has become an unsurpassed part of many remakes of TV series, but it was very hard in the process of filming that year. You know, the crew is poor and the equipment is quite rudimentary. A cameraman and a video camera are almost all the possessions of the entire The Journey to the West crew, not to mention computer special effects technology, and such a number of technical talents are simply not available.

In order to make the program more effective, it often takes a day or a week to create an atmosphere. No matter you are a director, an actor, or even the protagonist in the crew, as long as there is a role suitable for you in the script, you can do it, so this drama can be said to have condensed the sweat of many staff. This TV series also made mentoring successful and opened the door for them to make money in the entertainment circle.

Many security measures during filming in The Journey to the West were not perfect. Because of the difficult conditions in those days, there were not many security measures when shooting. For example, the Monkey King walked in the air, but was pulled up by manpower. Due to the increase of shooting times, the rope was badly worn. Sometimes a six-year-old boy in the Monkey King fell directly from the sky to the ground, but fortunately he was not injured.

On another occasion, when filming "Hong Haier-Monkey King", the Monkey King was almost burned to death because he didn't put out the fire in time, which was only known in our follow-up interview. Making this TV series is really dangerous, and sometimes it will endanger the lives of actors. This TV series has now become a classic, and the hard work of many actors is worth it.

In the filming of Journey to the West, an actor can play multiple roles. Because the crew is extremely short of people, an actor can appear in multiple scenes at the same time. For example, among the four disciples, Friar Sand not only plays the role of Friar Sand, but also makes guest appearances in many scenes in The Journey to the West. For example, play some goblins or the guards of heaven. So are others. In order to reduce the expenses of the crew, as long as necessary, they are basically obliged to let them play in their own places. The professionalism of many old artists in this TV series makes the younger generation cry.

Overcome many difficulties and finally become a classic! The content of Journey to the West is the final success of overcoming the 81 difficulties, and the filming process of Journey to the West has gone through many ups and downs before it is finally presented to everyone. Because the first half was very successful, we watched the full version of The Journey to the West. This TV series embodies the efforts of many people, so it can be perfectly presented to us.

First of all, I would like to thank Director Yang Jie, as well as the actors and staff who participated in the filming in The Journey to the West. Thanks to their hard work, the TV series Journey to the West was produced and used as a medium to spread the traditional culture of China.

We later learned that the snake essence in Journey to the West was a boa constrictor with a tooth pulled out. At the same time, we can see that the crew is very careful about every shot, so that the real person and the boa constrictor can shoot together in order to be realistic.

It can also be seen that actors are not easy, but also highlight their professionalism. In order to be able to shoot all kinds of good pictures, the crew really took great pains to present such a perfect effect for us. Many people are amazed that their efforts have finally made this TV series The Journey to the West. This TV series is the childhood of many people, but it will still be memorable now.
