How is the masterpiece made? Do you know the amazing story behind Journey to the West?

How did such a famous work as The Journey to the West come into being? Journey to the west can be said to be very classic, especially the 86 th edition, which can be said to be popular throughout the country. So did the filming of Journey to the West go smoothly? Of course not:

1982, The Journey to the West filmed several episodes, which were piloted on CCTV and gradually became famous. So some people even accused the director of making TV series in order to travel around the world and go abroad. But in fact, the conditions of the crew are very difficult, and each meal is only 50 cents. In Guangzhou, which is already very expensive, a bowl of jiaozi needs 2.5 yuan, and there are only six. Boys simply don't have enough to eat, and the director has to pay for the staff to eat.

There are three actors in the Tang Priest. At the beginning, it was Wang Yue, who shot about three or four episodes because of a movie invitation and decided to leave the crew. Xu was originally chosen to play the little white dragon. When Wang Yue left, the director decided to play the Tang Priest instead of him. He filmed 9 episodes, was admitted to the university, and left the crew. The anxious director happened to meet Chi in the corridor, and now he has taken a fancy to him as the Tang Priest.

Because of the lack of funds, the relevant security measures have to be saved. When hanging Weiya, actors often fall down. I still remember that once Huaili Yan weighed 170 kilograms and fell directly on the head of cameraman Wang Chongqiu, and fainted on the spot. 1982, when we first filmed Journey to the West, the crew lacked guidance, and everyone didn't know how to do stunts. Photographer Wang Chongqiu tried his best, but he still lacked realism. He happened to meet a Hong Kong man and asked him to hang someone. But he is also an outsider who doesn't know the inside story, so the crew went to Hong Kong to learn to hang Weiya, and finally succeeded.

In short, the masterpiece has experienced a lot of storms, and the shooting achievements of Journey to the West seem to be the same. There are often very sad stories hidden behind the success.
