Some fairy monsters in The Journey to the West have their own magical powers. I believe you still remember Hon Hai-er, who will spit out samadhi. Take this story alone, Hon Hai spoke out by "borrowing a seat". In other words, Hong Haier puts on a facial expression, opens his mouth and puts the flamethrower on Hong Haier's left hand on the other side, and it can be finished. Hong Haier burned the Monkey King to death, and it was the crew who put the Monkey King in a thick cotton-padded coat covered with solid combustible materials. Here's a little story. There happened to be a strong wind when shooting. As we all know, six-year-old children are also hurt by fire and wind.
The Monkey King's somersault was also made by the crew to help him with the trampoline, as we can see from the picture. Although with the help of the trampoline, the teacher of the six-year-old child was young and strong at that time, but he also fell down many times during the practice.
The scene of Dragon Palace was shot by the crew with a "ghost idea". There is a transparent fish tank in front of the camera, and the effect after shooting is very similar to the underwater world. Moreover, the effect of adding bubbles can make the water plants move around and increase the visual effect.
This true and false story of Tang Priest is also the flexible use of the matting technique by the crew. Although it seems not difficult now, it was a very high-end post-editing technology in the 1980 s.
For the crew who filmed the 86th edition of Journey to the West, this TV series can be said to be a fusion of all their physical strength, brain power and professional skills. It is precisely because of their numerous whimsical "indigenous methods" that we can see such a good work.
