With the rapid development of domestic film and television drama shooting technology, the cost of shooting a TV series is much lower than before. Even if the crew is willing to stay on the set and only rely on the green back, they can shoot large films, but often the popularity of such works will not be too great, because classic works never rely on special effects, but rely on real scenes and plots, which is vividly reflected in The Journey to the West directed by Yang Jie.

Director Yang Jie and all the filming teams created one of the most amazing classics in the history of China film and television dramas with great artistic enthusiasm under difficult conditions and environment. Even if we overcome many difficulties, there are still some problems that we can't overcome at once. For example, Bai, who took four disciples to the Western Heaven to learn Buddhist scriptures, has been unable to find a suitable animal actor. Because of the shooting technology, when people need the white horse dragon lens, they will look for it randomly in the local area. If they don't do this, they will paint horses of other colors with white paint, and take White Horse Dragon as the subject.

For many people, the four Tang Priests' Daoism are the protagonists in TV dramas, because many stories are finished by these four people, but an equally important role "Bai" has been ignored. Although he is usually only responsible for carrying Tang Priest or luggage, he also has stories and tasks, and he also won his own title after arriving in the Western Heaven.

Bai did not appear as a horse, but as a prince of the Dragon Palace. To be precise, it was a dragon who was punished for his crime because of his unfortunate marriage. I happened to meet the Tang Priest and others who ate the horses given by the King of the Tang Dynasty. As a result, I was turned into a white horse dragon who was responsible for protecting the master and apprentice. Although it is only a horse, it is actually a disciple of Tang Priest. Its main job is to carry people, and at the same time, it is also responsible for protecting the safety of Tang Priest and his disciples. It's just that every time Tang Priest is caught, Bai is also taken away by the monster, which rarely turns into a scene where individuals fight with the monster. Bai will only start to protect Master if the Monkey King and others have major changes.

White is not small. He is a "good soldier" in the cavalry regiment and the favorite horse of Sanjay Zabu, the head of the cavalry regiment. With the persistent efforts of Yang Jie, Sanjay Zabu reluctantly gave up his love and gave the white horse to the crew. It is also an infinite honor for Sanjay Zab that the soldiers of the Cavalry Corps regard their favorite horses as children, and let their "children" be on TV and let the people of the whole country see him.

Sanjay Zab personally retired his beloved horse. On this day, White Horse, who was only 4 years old, retired and officially joined the The Journey to the West crew, and embarked on its "road of learning from the classics". Because it is a horse from the army, it is very disciplined and human. It seems that it understands the director's command and completes all the movements with great cooperation.

Although Bai's hardships left the army for nothing, it was obviously more difficult for Bai to enter the crew. Because of the need of shooting, Bai Dai traveled all over the country for five years and suffered countless hardships. Because shooting outside all the year round, the shooting environment is quite poor, and Bai can only stay in the stuffy tank car with some props for more than ten days. If it is a short trip, Bai will transfer to a big truck. Many times, Bai couldn't stand up because his hooves were empty.

Bai even almost died once. When the crew filmed Pansi Cave in Jiuzhaigou, Sichuan, there was a scene in which four men and women walked through a waterfall. At that time, when Bai was filming this scene, he accidentally slipped and fell into the stone pit, lying in the stone pit, and everyone could not pull up. Fortunately, at that time, a horse-raising tourist helped, and Bai was slowly rescued. On another occasion, Bai followed the crew to Suzhou. When getting on the bus, Bailong stepped on the air and fell into a ditch on the side of the road. He was also tied to a heavy saddle, so he was seriously injured. However, during the injury, Bai had to complete all the scenes.

Director Yang Jie recalled in the program: "I squatted in front of it to comfort and said," Do you hurt? How could you be careless? " Don't worry, they will come to help you up. I really saw tears in its eyes, really, a big tear. It seemed to understand what I said and I was so sad that I almost cried. Finally, the filming was completed, and Journey to the West ended perfectly. The play was very popular as soon as it was released. Many people have gained fame and fortune because of this play, but Bai's situation is quite tragic.

Bai was mercilessly abandoned, after all, all the scenes of Journey to the West were filmed. Bai was left in a shooting base in Wuxi and became a cash cow for people. After the broadcast of The Journey to the West, the response was enthusiastic, and an endless stream of people came here every day. As long as you give money, you can take a photo with it and ride it to feel the taste of riding a white horse. As the days passed, Bai grew old, and he was put in a dark "cell" with no one to take care of him.

Director Yang Jie reorganized his team to shoot The Journey to the West's sequel and rushed to Wuxi to find the original white work. When they saw Bai again, they couldn't help crying. White, once tall and mighty, has now become bony, filthy and lifeless. Before leaving, Director Yang Jie specially instructed the staff to treat it well.

The white horse finally lost its skeleton. I was very tired during the filming of Journey to the West, and I have reached the age of a teenager. "White" is gradually aging and has lost its former heroic spirit. His body is getting thinner and thinner, and because he is locked in a stable with other horses, he is often bullied by other strong horses because of his weakness.

Later, it was said that Bai was too old and had no value at all. The staff thought it was ugly in the stable and took a place, so they threw it into the cave in the back hill. Since then, Director Yang Jie has never seen Bai again. When she asked the staff of Wuxi Film and Television Base about Bai again, she was told that she was dead and buried.

"How much hate, last night's dream, as if swimming into the old garden, the car is like Ma Rulong flowing water." It is the cool thin of this world, and it is the ugliness of human nature that stifles the original white horse of freedom. Once inseparable from the white horse, the crew will completely forget the white horse after fame and fortune, while the heartless people will squeeze the last trace of value from this innocent creature and throw it away without hesitation. They will do this to a horse, so they will impose the same means on innocent people in the future. I hope that each of us can keep the last trace of humanity before the interests and money, and always remember this brave white horse.
