Synopsis
175 million years ago, three gravel flew from outer space and fell into three different places to transform into different characters. Every 200 million years, sunspots will erupt to produce cosmic storms, the power of the gods of the celestial realm will weaken, and the demons representing the power of darkness will also appear. The only way to defeat the Heavenly Demon is to require a person who was born at a certain time, at a certain moment, at a certain time, and a certain second in a certain month, and the avatar of one of the fallen stones to escort him to the Western Heavens to take the Three Tibetan True Scriptures; the stone must find the incarnation of the other two dead stones in the process of taking the scriptures, and then when the Heavenly Demons appear, borrow the power of the True Scriptures, and the three stones are one, in order to defeat the Heavenly Demons, otherwise the heavens and the earth will turn back into a piece of Hongmeng and return to the chaotic world. The crowd of demons danced wildly. One of them was petrified into a stone monkey, which is Sun Wukong. Due to Goku's absorption of the essence of the Sun and Moon, coupled with his talent and intelligence, he soon became a fairy monkey with high mana. On the other hand, Li Jing's wife, Yin Shi, was more than three years pregnant and finally gave birth to Nezha.

Behind the scenes
1. Liang Hanwen starred as Tang Sanzang, and Zhang Weijian would help him shave his head.
2. Dunhuang desert sand and dust, after makeup skin sensitive, he said to not stop using skin care cream to rub the face, every time the face is like an ice rink so white.
3. The protagonists in the play rush day and night, Zhang Weijian and his friends will continue to guest perform, the play includes Nicholas Tse, Zheng Xiuwen, Xu Zhi'an, Su Yongkang, etc. are all friendship cameos, and everyone not only receives friendship benefits as a reward, but also at the mercy of the role modeling.
4. Ai Iijima said that this time she played the spider spirit, which is very similar to her personality. She said it might be easier to seduce the Eight Commandments of Pigs.

Behind the scenes
Creative background
The background of the plot of the play is actually based on the original work, and some sci-fi adaptations have been made. [22] The story can basically be connected with the first 30 episodes of the 1996 TVB version of Journey to the West starring Zhang Weijian. It began with the success of tang monks and apprentices, due to the control of the heart demon, Sun Wukong actually became the first person to eat the meat of Tang monks, and later Guanyin Bodhisattva was kind enough to let Sun Wukong start over, so the story of taking the sutra began again.
sculpt
In order to achieve perfect results, Zhang Weijian although the skin is damaged, still spare no effort to re-conceive a number of shapes, producer Li Shixiong said that each stage of the play of Sun Wukong will have different shapes, including fighting monsters, on the road, on the way to find magic weapons, the Heavenly Court and the Monkey King, etc., of which the Monkey King modeling is the most interesting, because at that time Sun Wukong has not yet become a Qi Tian Dasheng, just naked in the water curtain cave, then Zhang Weijian will wear underwear, little by little sticking to the hair, this makeup is extremely time-consuming and easy to skin sensitivity, Liang Hanwen, who plays the Tang monk, has only three shapes.
Recently revisited one of the people's version of "Qi Tian Dasheng Sun Wukong" found that the lineup is so strong, it is not too much to call it an all-star lineup.
When the slogan: I am the Buddha, the Jade Emperor Guanyin Bodhisattva, designated to take the Western Scripture special envoy Huaguo Shan Shui Curtain Cave Monkey King Qi Tian DaSheng Sun Wukong Ah! When I shouted it out, it was really handsome to the point of slag!
Let's reminisce about this drama together, and take stock of the stars together.
Asa's final ending is quite touching
At that time, it was also the hottest and purest time for Twins, when the purple orchid fairy played by Asa was really cute, and I waited for the loser to drool in front of the screen.
Big S is still very good-looking at this time, Big S said in "Kangxi" that Zhang Weijian invited her to make a cameo
Zheng Xiuwen, the queen of heaven who was equally famous with Faye Wong, played Guanyin with soy sauce, but was rated as the most unlikely Guanyin.
Yuan Yongyi played the Nine Heavenly Nieces, and it was rare to see Yuan Yongyi dressed up so gently
Zhang Weijian's wife, husband and wife are in the same frame again
Nezha, there is a technique for staying in the face, I feel that Lin Zhiying's appearance has not changed in the past ten years.
Three masters and apprentices
At this time, Ah Jiao roared and looked, bright and moving
Old Tvb acquaintance
Taiwan's first beauty Xiao Qiang played the iron fan princess
It is Yuan Jieying, with aura, so beautiful
Hu Jing, this exaggerated headdress
Xu Huaiyu, the smile is very bright
Sharp, not much time to play, but very handsome.
This version of the Queen Mother is particularly good
Zeng Zhiwei
Yang Gong is like a white bone essence
Lu Songxian Erlang God
Spider essence is Iijima love, did not expect it!
I feel that I have acted a lot of content, and the result is only 40 episodes, which is really a small number for some dramas that are now 80 episodes.
The opening song is divided into Chinese version of "High above" and the Cantonese version of "High Above", which is sung by Andy Lau and Zhang Weijian.
Some netizens commented that although this one has almost nothing to do with the original work, it is very good to watch. How many girls' dream lover when they were young is this version of Sun Wukong!
This cast can be said to be unprecedentedly strong, and the well-known actors and singers in Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan at that time basically came to show their faces, and they were all at the peak of their careers. It can be seen that Zhang Weijian's popularity is still very good, and the stars who cameo are catching up day and night, and they are also at the mercy of the role modeling.
It is said that Zhang Weijian used a lot of love cards to invite a lot of people, he really hopes to make his own Sun Wukong, the lineup is very strong, everyone is good, but for various reasons, the ratings have not exceeded his first film in TVB that year...
What is more sad is that Zhang Weijian was kicked out of the TVB version of "Journey to the West" II, and the second part seems to be a bit bad at the expense of the problem, if only then the original team could have money to shoot a whole TVB version of Journey to the West. I personally feel that this Qi Tian Da Saint Sun Wukong is my personal favorite in addition to the Zhou Xingchi version, I don't know what everyone thinks. Jin Dian will never be outdated. You can go and chase it.
