In the past ten years, in order to concentrate on accompanying his two lovely sons to grow up, Ma Jingtao pushed off the invitations of countless film and television dramas, and picked up and dropped off school every day, rain or shine.

Immortal love should be equal and respectful
"After the eight immortals are refined, the bell is strange, and the four seas are sharpened into a cold", the legend of the eight immortals was first seen in the "Taiping Guangji", which has become the most widely circulated mythological story in ancient China through folk circulation and the rendering of the literati of previous generations, and has been adapted into film and television dramas several times in the 90s of the last century. This classic remake aims to dig deep into the traditional Chinese mythological culture and use the expression that the younger generation loves to let the classic story remain in the hearts of generations.
The movie "Journey to the East" has been upgraded in both the story and the overall style, on the basis of the traditional immortals, it has integrated fantasy, absurdity, comedy and romantic elements, opening Lu Dongbin and He Xiangu Tengyun driving the fog to save the world, igniting the legend of the Immortal Realm, the two respectively incarnated as beggars and female mountain thieves under the process of robbery, the painting style became a sense of absurdity of black humor, and the finale immortal and demon battle in the Eastern Mountain Sacred Pole, showing a magnificent magical blockbuster temperament.

This time the movie "Journey to the East" finally made up for this regret. Although it is fascinating for the gods to fall in love, the two have gone through three lives and three lifetimes, and finally whether they can keep each other as they wish becomes a mystery. Whether it is fairy love or mortal love, what the film ultimately wants to express is the simple truth that "love is equality and mutual respect".
