The 86 version of Journey to the West looks good, but do you know how those fairyland and special effects were filmed?

Throughout the 86th edition of Journey to the West, the characters in it are not only lifelike, but also the scenery is not sloppy and impressive.

Although computer stunts have developed for so many years, the film and television dramas made are very dreamy, but to be honest, they are really ugly. Therefore, the 86th edition of The Journey to the West is not only a classic film and television drama in China, but also can be sold worldwide.

If the production of special effects in those days was completely done by hand, there was no computer. In the whole 86 edition of Journey to the West, the most used special effects are mainly the first three episodes. At that time, almost all the pictures only found in comics, such as Paradise Wonderland, Dragon Palace under the Sea and the underworld, were shot in large studios. At first, some scenes were shot in the regular studio of the film factory. Later, due to financial problems, they could no longer be used, so they borrowed a gymnasium of Yu Ying College as a temporary shooting place.

The scene full of fairy clouds that we saw in the Heavenly Palace was formed by releasing carbon dioxide gas. When shooting, a large number of gas cylinders deflate at the same time, and then a scene of fairy gas is formed. However, many people are afraid of running out of gas, close doors and windows, and fall into a coma due to lack of oxygen. This group of staff really put in too much trouble to make this play well.

After watching the fire scene in the Monkey King, I may have remembered the purpose of Teachers' Day for six-year-old children. He said he was almost disfigured. At that time, the shooting location was also in Ying School. The staff made a hemispherical section, then set up a multi-layer fire rack and coated it with napalm. When shooting, the six-year-old child enters the hemispherical part, lights the fire, and then blows in wind smoke with a fan. Six-year-old children began to roll in these fires and smoke, which is what we saw later. It was the hottest summer when shooting at that time, and I was covered in fire clothes. The degree of hardship and danger can be imagined. Fortunately, I finally finished filming this scene, and then I saw that all the monkey hair on the face of the six-year-old child was burned and then burned to the skin.

We are familiar with the scene of stealing flat peaches. Do you know those peach trees are real peach trees? Specially bought dozens of peach trees, and then the staff made leaves and peaches. Thousands of peaches of different sizes are made and hung on trees. In this way, with carbon dioxide gas, it has become a fairyland-like flat peach garden. In the play, in order for the Monkey King to really eat peaches, only the real ones. But where can I find such a big peach? So I dug a hole with a fake peach and put it in a real peach, so that the Monkey King could only eat one side of the real peach, which was enough to confuse the fake with the real one.

Other special effects When some goblins appear, the spider silk ejected from the navel of Spider Essence is made of ethylene glycol gas and transparent nylon, and all kinds of black smoke and yellow smoke are made of pigments. After the filming, they were all painted. What else is flying, walking around, almost all done by keying technology, so we look a little rough now, but it was very good that the technology at that time could do this.

In order to shoot this film, the crew traveled all over the country, far away from Thailand, and finally a masterpiece appeared in front of the audience. These employees really went through 81 difficulties to complete. Let's thank the actors, directors and staff who have contributed to this excellent work.

The code word is difficult, that's all. With friends you like, you can tell more stories that were unknown when the film was filmed in the future.
