What is the most silent rumor about the 86th edition of Journey to the West?

The so-called classic TV dramas are all tempered, and one of them needs to be tested is rumors. For example, the old CCTV TV series A Dream of Red Mansions and Romance of the Three Kingdoms have all kinds of rumors, but in terms of the number and spread of rumors, the 86 version of The Journey to the West is definitely the best. 、

For example, the most common harmless misunderstanding is that Zhao, the actor who plays the king of the car-eating country, is regarded as a crosstalk performer, and Zhou Tao, the CCTV host, is regarded as the avatar of the white maid. This is actually not a rumor, but a temporary mistake.

However, some rumors spread widely, which not only troubled the parties, but also had a bad influence on the The Journey to the West crew. For example, Xu, the so-called "closest relative" who plays the king of the daughter country, is unmarried, and the crew of Journey to the West chartered a plane to take on Yin Wenjiao's Huangmei opera actor Malan.

But let me say, the most speechless rumor about the 86th edition of Journey to the West is that "CCTV's 86th edition of Journey to the West actually filmed 40 episodes and deleted 15 episodes".

Why is this rumor the most speechless? First of all, many people believe this rumor. Secondly, someone set up a special discussion platform, and there were many onlookers. Thirdly, some netizens have been addicted to it, and even authoritative people don't believe it. Finally, those netizens who believe this rumor are still tirelessly looking for evidence to support this rumor.

Although I think this rumor is speechless, I really admire these netizens. After all, there is no income, no interest and no reputation in obtaining evidence, which depends on my personal love for Journey to the West. Here, I also want to say to them, thank you for your hard work, and you are also hardcore fans of Journey to the West.

However, rumors are rumors, and we still have to refute them.

Someone will definitely ask, what makes you sure this is a rumor?

1, out of interest

Cctv's filming of the 86 th edition of Journey to the West has a huge investment and a particularly long shooting cycle. If you shoot 40 episodes, but delete 15 episodes, it will obviously cause huge economic losses. After all, it means millions of dollars will be wasted. This was no small matter in the 1980s. Think about the per capita wage income at that time and you will know what a million means.

The key point is whether some content in The Journey to the West can be filmed or broadcast, and it will be demonstrated and reviewed before filming. For example, the famous "Tang Wang has Defoe" has been written, but it has been censored and will not be filmed. There won't be a situation where you spend millions of beats 15 episodes and then take them to review but fail, and finally you can only hide in the snow.

2, unreasonable

As we know, the 86th version of The Journey to the West has been filmed for six years, involving thousands of actors and staff, including CCTV's own, such as Yang Jie, Wang Chongqiu and Chi, all paid by CCTV internally. Some people are seconded, such as six-year-old children, Ma Dehua, and Huaili Yan. Some people are external temporary workers, such as Li Chengru in the audience, Ma in the venue, and actors from groups all over the world, such as Zuo Dafen and Xiang Han of Hunan Hunan Hunan Opera Troupe.

So many people still belong to different groups and have different lives and destinies. One thing cannot be kept secret for more than 30 years. If episode 15 was deleted, why didn't all the actors and staff involved in episode 15 spread around the world?

3. Authority denial

The rumors made by these netizens are entertaining themselves on the Internet because they do not involve issues of principle. Therefore, under normal circumstances, authoritative departments such as CCTV will not pay attention to it, nor will they specifically blame it.

However, some Journey to the West staff who retired before the 1980s can come forward. For example, Wang Chongqiu, director Yang Jie's lover and chief photographer of Journey to the West, once published an article denying the rumor that "40 episodes were shot and 15 episodes were deleted".

Director Yang Jie has passed away. I believe that for The Journey to the West in 1986, the most authoritative person is Wang Zhongqiu. It's incredible that such an authoritative person stands up to refute rumors. Some netizens even think that Wang Chongqiu is lying.

To sum up, I believe many readers will think that the so-called "shooting 40 episodes and deleting 15 episodes" is a rumor, so why is it this rumor?

The fundamental reason is that many netizens think that they have seen scenes that are not in the 86 version of The Journey to the West, and there are many, not one or two.

To tell you the truth, I feel the same way sometimes. Some of the plots I have seen in my memory are invisible in the 86th edition of The Journey to the West, and I almost suspect that my brain is hallucinating.

So, why is this happening? Some people say that it is the "Mandela effect", which I think is not appropriate. There are about six reasons:

1, modify the Journey to the West broadcast

After The Journey to the West broadcast, especially between the 1 1 version broadcast in 1986 and the 25-episode version broadcast in 1988, some plots were modified, some because of the effect problem, and some because of errors.

Effect problems, such as changing the version of 1 1 from Life without a Name to A Great Ode, changing How He Wants to Be a Grass to Five Hundred Years of Vicissitudes, changing the version of1to David Jiang's singing, and deleting the dialogue in Daughter Love.

Mistakes, such as changing the "bell" in "A broken pipe loses a bell" in "Beating the Three Monsters" from a metal bell to a broken frock. Also, when the Monkey King read Teach the Palace, he first read "Shuai" and later changed it to "Qing".

2. Delete the refined version

In the past, the length of each episode of The Journey to the West was uncertain. For example, the first episode is only 44 minutes, Dasheng 6 1 minute, and Pig Bajie 55 minutes. Later, in order to unify the time, CCTV carefully edited each episode, that is, deleted it, making some plots disappear.

For example, in the episode "Counting Pig Eight Rings", the author clearly remembers that Pig Eight Rings had a fight with the local security guard, and Gao Cai was still mending his knife and closing his head. Among them, Lin Zhiqian's guest slave was knocked down in the swimming pool and his leg was cut by rockery rocks. However, this part was deleted in The Journey to the West's fine edition, which once made the author doubt his memory.

What's more, in the refined edition of Sweeping the Pagoda to Distinguish between Strange and Uneven, the late Clear Sky and Bright Moon was also deleted, and some local TV stations even deleted all the stories about Xing Xian and Gu Zhigong in Mistaken into Little Lei Yin. Do you think this deletion can make people feel wrong?

3. The influence of comic books on Journey to the West.

Maybe the audience is still unclear. In the TV series and movies of the 1980s, in addition to the normal shooting tasks, they will also have another team dedicated to the production and distribution of cartoons. This thing was very popular in that year, and it was also a big income for the crew.

Journey to the west can't be exempted from customs. During the same period, they also took a batch of photos. These photos are specially used for cartoons, most of which are related to the plot, and some of them are not related to the plot because of the editing problems in the later stage of TV series. Some contents in the album are forged, such as the widely questioned photo of Xu He. This is why the crew specially invited Wu Guiling to make up when shooting the first 15 episode in the suburbs of Beijing. Now these irrelevant contents are seen by netizens in various channels, which will naturally lead to associations.

4. Edited photos or stills

After the 86 edition of Journey to the West was broadcast, it had a great influence, so various commemorative activities and interviews lasted for decades. In these programs, some original shots, stills and photos of the shooting scene also flowed out, and some contents naturally did not appear in the play.

For example, in the episode of Sanyin Banana Fan, Director Yang Jie originally planned to play Niu Wangmo with a real cow, and the crew also found a cow, but the cow couldn't cooperate with the filming at all and was forced to give up after several attempts. Finally, the scene of the Monkey King and the pig beating Niu Wangmo was shot in the studio. However, the photos of the real cows involved in the shooting have been spread.

What's more, the The Journey to the West crew once filmed the scene of Chenjiazhuang, and later gave up this part of the plot, but the stills at that time also stayed. This will definitely make some netizens misunderstand.

5. The script spread.

The earliest 86th edition of The Journey to the West's plays is 30 episodes, such as the above-mentioned "Tang Wang has Defoe", which has been written, but it has not been shot. Later, due to lack of funds, several episodes were lost.

However, 30 episodes of The Journey to the West's plays have already been circulated, and even books about The Journey to the West's plays can be found in Panjiayuan. In this case, it is not a "real hammer" to shoot 30 episodes of Journey to the West. Look, there's even a script!

6. The influence of other TV dramas, cartoons and operas.

Journey to the West is a big IP. There are countless movies, TV series, cartoons, operas and other works with the theme of Journey to the West. I have made several versions in the past few days. Moreover, the 86th edition of The Journey to the West has been adapted from overseas.

The point is, apart from the 86th edition of The Journey to the West, other film and television dramas have also exerted great influence, such as The Journey to the West, The Journey to the West in Zhejiang, The Journey to the West in Zhang Jizhong, The Journey to the West in the CCTV cartoon "White Hooves Facing West", Ginseng Fruit by Shanghai Film Studio, and even the True and False Monkey King by opera film directed by Yang Jie.

Some plots in these film and television works will also disturb the memory of some netizens. One of the most obvious examples is whether there is a plot of "bathing in a boiling oil pan" in "Beating the Three Monsters". Many netizens recalled that there was, and that Yang Li Daxian had a cold dragon in the oil pan and so on. In fact, this is the plot in the comic book The Journey to the West, so netizens should remember the difference.

Conclusion: Actually, the rumor about the 86th edition of Journey to the West "shooting 40 episodes and deleting 15 episodes" is not a matter of principle, but why do many people believe it, tirelessly seek evidence, and even question the authoritative person Wang Zhongqiu? After all, it is not because of the unforgettable memories brought by this version of Journey to the West. Therefore, the author believes that since it is not a matter of principle, there is no need to go online, so it is a pleasure.
