Director Yang Jie left us, which is a great loss for the cultural circles in China. Before long, more and more people will deeply feel the great loss.
The Journey to the West is a masterpiece that has been circulated for hundreds of years. Since the Ming dynasty, there have been countless sequels and interpretations of it, and scholars' efforts have never stopped. As a member of the commentary of The Journey to the West China Edition, the author wants to talk about how Director Yang Jie compiled The Journey to the West.
The Journey to the West was born in the Ming Dynasty, but the story about Tang Priest's pilgrimage to heaven was circulated among the people for hundreds of years before the birth of Wu Cheng'en. Wu Cheng'en didn't create the whole story, but recreated it on the original storyteller and story book, making it a system.
Wu Cheng'en is an unsuccessful scholar. In his time, from a cultural point of view, Buddhism and Taoism were seriously contested. Politically, the bureaucracy is expanding, the political struggle is harsh, and the road to social rise is narrow. Wu Cheng'en wrote with dissatisfaction with the society at that time, so his works were full of satire and few good people.
If Wu Cheng'en's satire is performed, it is estimated that it is too difficult and not positive enough. In 1980s, director Yang Jie was under great pressure to adapt Journey to the West. Truthfully reflect the original, it is estimated that even the audit can not pass. If you don't respond to the original, how to adapt it becomes a difficult problem of the times.
In order to increase the fairy tale color in the play, director Yang Jie created more plots. Part of it is reasonable and enriches the story. Others are unreasonable, and there are many incongruities with the whole plot.
For example, after the Monkey King came out of the gossip furnace, he beat the Jade Emperor to the bridge under the table, which was rebuilt by director Yang Jie's team. This is not a composite original, nor is it logical.
In the immortal system of Journey to the West, the Jade Emperor is the first of the three realms, and will never be beaten under the table by the Monkey King. What is written in the original book is that the Monkey King was surrounded by 36 generals of Lei Department, and the Monkey King just passed the hall and didn't enter the hall at all. After the Monkey King was besieged, the Jade Emperor said to invite the Tathagata. Moreover, the jade emperor at that time did not have any panic.
For another example, after following the Tang Priest, the Monkey King killed the tiger and skinned it. The plot of Tang Priest sewing tiger skin for the Monkey King with Chen Laohan's needle and thread was also compiled by Yang Jie's team. This plot is to highlight the Tang Priest's care for the Monkey King, and suddenly it is a disciple's feeling. In the original work, Tang Priest has a bad temper and is easily angry. He never thought about life in the Monkey King, and once he was hungry, he would call names.
What's more, the scene where the queen of the daughter country molested the Tang priest in the room was later made up. Tang Priest never thought about the queen of the daughter country. Scorpion essence did not suddenly appear in the bedroom, but suddenly appeared on the way when the queen of the daughter country sent Tang priest and his disciples away.
Another example is the Monkey King's visit to Bodhi, Bodhi, Bodhi, Bodhi, Bodhi, Bodhi, Bodhi, Bodhi, Bodhi, Bodhi, Bodhi, Bodhi, Bodhi, Bodhi, Bodhi, Bodhi, Bodhi, Bodhi, Bodhi, Bodhi, Bodhi, Bodhi, Bodhi, Bodhi, Bodhi, Bodhi, Bodhi, Bodhi, Bodhi, In fact, he never came back.
It is not easy for Director Yang Jie and his team to create such great works in special times and under special conditions. Compared with Stephen Chow, Yang Jie's adaptation of the original works is greater, which makes the TV drama version of The Journey to the West actually become a new work that can be almost separated from Wu Cheng'en's original works. Pay tribute to director Yang Jie's courage and professionalism.
It can be seen that in order to make the Journey to the West well, Director Yang Jie has made a lot of efforts. She must have read the original many times, trying to figure out the characters slowly, so that this work can be perfectly presented to the audience and become a classic. I believe that anyone who watched Journey to the West as a child will remember it!
