This is the real first episode of The Journey to the West, and I still don't know it after watching it for so many years.

The Journey to the West's shooting plan began on August1,when CCTV decided to shoot The Journey to the West, and the director was unexpectedly selected as Yang Jie of the Arts Department. /kloc-0 in the first half of 1982, the crew traveled all over the country and selected various shooting locations. 1started shooting in the second half of 1982, and 1984 produced and broadcast Monkey King Thrice Defeats the Skeleton Demon and Pig.

The first ten episodes broadcast in 1986 immediately caused an unprecedented response. It wasn't until 1988 that all 25 episodes were officially shown to the audience, but The Monkey King First Appears was not the first episode, and the earliest episode was actually Shoot's "Beyond the Promise".

The Tang Priest in this episode is the earliest Wang Yue, and the shape of the Monkey King Pig Bajie is obviously different from later. The shooting focused on the Monkey King in a tiger skin skirt. Pig's neck and mouth are hairy, and his stomach is made of cloth. At this time, the shapes of Wukong and Bajie are wild and slightly fierce. It is said that Director Yang Jie didn't think it was good-looking, so in the later shooting, the shape was obviously beautified, and Pig Bajie also painted eye shadow.

Later, the Monkey King posed.

The shooting location was in Geyuan, Yangzhou. It's very hot, and the actors can wring out their clothes after a scene. At that time, the acting was not as rich as it is now. Even if you are the main actor, each episode will cost tens of dollars. It is very lucky.

Because Shoot's dramas are not satisfactory in actor modeling and supporting roles, they have all been remake except demon and Wuji country. The thirteenth episode we are watching now is actually a mixture of two versions, mainly the new one, and some shots of Shoot's series are reserved.

For example, the scene where master and apprentice took the real king to see the fake king was originally from Shoot, and later it was changed to a remake. It can be clearly seen that the actor of Tang Priest has also changed from Wang Yue to Late.

Remake version

For example, in this scene, the look-up lens is a Shoot version, while the look-down lens is a remake, and the Monkey King's modeling is obviously different.

In the remake, the Dragon King in the well is actually played by Chi.

The Dragon King played by Zhong Rui Chi.

Because there is a long time between filming and remake, the monster in this episode has also changed.

1982 when shooting, there was no synchronous recording technology, so we had to dub it later. In order to simulate the real environmental sound effects, Director Yang decided to dub in the cave and dub in the mountains, which was really not easy.

There was no Weiya at that time. Director Yang rented a trampoline in Suzhou Sports School to make fun of it, and invited two athletes to perform martial arts in body double. In fact, it is under such simple conditions that such a beautiful drama was created.

Trampoline special effects

From the current point of view, this special effect of the true and false Tang Priest is fifty cents, but in those days, it was very rare to reach this level without good equipment and enough funds, and it did not affect the classic status of this work at all.

After the broadcast of Shoot's "Black Phoenix Country", experts were not very satisfied with Tang Priest and six-year-old children. Yang Lijie pushed his way through the crowd, leaving two people behind. Six-year-old children later specially raised macaques to observe their posture and movements, and finally had a legendary performance.
