Behind the scenes production

"Westward Journey" did not have a detailed script until the filming started, but only a rough idea. The idea was taken from " Ji An" is also the director and screenwriter Liu Zhenwei. In Liu Zhenwei's opinion, the choice of "The Supreme Treasure" in the play is none other than Stephen Chow.

The filming of the first and second episodes of the movie was completed in more than 100 days. The filming work was divided into three groups. Group A was directed by Liu Zhenwei to shoot the literary scenes, Group B was directed by Cheng Xiaodong for the martial arts scenes, and Group C was in charge of the martial arts scenes. After finishing the exterior shooting, they returned to Xi'an to shoot the interior scenes. The actors and staff rushed to shoot. The time was tight and the work was extremely hard. Trivial frictions also occurred between the crew members in Hong Kong and Xi'an.

However, the staff of Xiying Studio expressed their admiration for the professionalism of Hong Kong actors. After the filming of the entire film was completed, Xiying had objections to the completed film. Zhang Zien, who was the deputy art director at the time, believed that the film could not represent the artistic pursuit of Xiying Studio, and could even be regarded as cultural garbage.
