0 1, the original lion camel ridge was difficult and the scene was quite scary. If nothing else, the Monkey King was scared to the ground the first time he saw Lion Camel Ridge, and then he couldn't get up. You know, the Monkey King is fearless. He made trouble in heaven, rushed into hell and killed demons all the way. He hasn't seen anything big.
However, this fearless Sun Shengda was frightened by the lion in Camel Ridge. If it were someone else, he would be scared out of his wits and run away, never daring to take a step forward again.
If you think I'm bragging and haven't seen Journey to the West, I'll show you the original description:
Skeletons are like mountains, and bones are like forests. Human hair is smashed into felt and human skin is rotten into mud and dust. People's tendons are wrapped around trees, and they are as yellow as silver. A sea of blood, it really stinks. The small demon in the east cuts the flesh with the living; Splash demons in the west and cook fresh human flesh. If the Monkey King had not been so brave, the second ordinary man would not have entered his door.
This thing needs no translation. You should know how horrible it is. If you can't understand, you can imagine yourself as an animal in a slaughterhouse, or a pig or a cow or a sheep, and then you can watch the butcher peel his companion and cramp him, stew the meat into soup, and then serve it to the human table.
Back to the perspective of ordinary people, it can be said that this place at the foot of Lingshan is a real purgatory on earth and a paradise for monsters. It's not "no greed, no killing, long life for everyone" as the Tathagata said, but a forbidden place that can make people fall into a tourist trap.
02. The three disciples of Tang Priest are very scary. When we watch TV series, we think that the Monkey King, Pig and Friar Sand are not terrible. At most, Pig Bajie's face is a little ugly, and he will feel childish after watching it for a long time. Why are those passers-by on TV so scared?
That's because the TV version has changed their image, but the reaction of passers-by is still expressed with reference to the original. In the original book, the Monkey King is not beautiful at all. He was born very ugly, with a lump on his forehead, his fangs turned out, his face was like Lei Gong, and he was even less cheeky than others. In the film The Journey to the West directed by Stephen Chow, the ugly the Monkey King is more suitable for the original work, presumably to repay the famous saying of the teacher of six-year-old children that "adaptation is not random".
As for Pig Bajie, he is a big wild boar with a mouth length of 1 m, with fangs and mane on his face, which belongs to the personification of the big wild boar. Friar Sand is more than 3 meters tall, with red hair and indigo face, and nine skulls on his neck.
So ordinary passers-by will be scared out of their wits when they see it, and close the door quickly. Many times, the good-looking Tang priest will go to the door to say hello first, and then let his disciples in.
03, CCTV version 86 Journey to the West is very good, but it belongs to castration version. I grew up watching the 86 th edition of Journey to the West, and I like this drama very much. It was a masterpiece at that time, and it is also a masterpiece in modern times. At that time, the shooting was extremely difficult, the funds were seriously short, and the special effects were quite rough. However, the crew presented us with a masterpiece full of sincerity with their own feelings, perseverance and dedication, and the old people and children watched it with relish.
But from an objective point of view, it cannot be refined, is not coherent enough, and lacks sufficient connotation. Moreover, after adaptation and castration, many plots can't echo before and after, forming bugs. For example, in a TV series, Friar Sand shouldered the burden, but when the Tathagata was rewarded in the end, it was said that Pig Eight Rings shouldered the meritorious service and Friar Sand led the horse. For example, in the TV series, the Monkey King scared the Jade Emperor to hide under the table, while in the original book, he was surrounded by Wang Lingguan and his people without even entering the Lingxiao Hall, and then appeased by the Tathagata.
More importantly, The Journey to the West, as one of the four classical novels, is definitely not a pure ghost story novel, but contains satire on the times, criticism of darkness and exposure of officialdom. In addition, it also describes the dispute between Buddhism and Taoism, Taoist cultivation methods and profound life truths.
The conclusion can be said that people of different ages and identities can read different tastes from this masterpiece. With the maturity of the market, people are more eager to see derivative works that are more in line with the original. If it is as good as Resident Evil, The Lord of the Rings and The Lord of the Rings, then such excellent traditional cultural works can be made into games, movies, animations and so on. Even if they don't make TV series. As long as the producers are sincere, the audience will definitely buy it and support it.
