"Journey to the East" is a costume mythological drama co-produced by Singapore and China, which is the classic memory of many people when they were young. The drama was filmed in Jiuzhaigou, the scene is beautiful, not only the cast is also very strong, Singapore's two beautiful Guo Feili, Zheng Xiuzhen respectively played peony fairy and He Xiangu in the play, the popular actor Ma Jingtao played the male protagonist Lu Dongbin, and Xie Shaoguang, who is known as the most capable of acting in Singapore, played the big villain pangolin. When this drama came out, the domestic film and television industry was not yet developed, and once it was broadcast, it was sought after by many young people.
"Journey to the East" is based on traditional Chinese mythology, mainly telling the story of the Eight Immortals of Shangdong, Lü Dongbin, He Xiangu, Han Zhongli and others who cultivated immortals and fought against the pangolin of the Great Demon Head. Lü Dongbin, played by Ma Jingtao, is the classic image in the play, Lü Dongbin was a Donghua Shangxian in his previous life, in order to help the human world survive the disaster, reincarnated and re-cultivated, gathering eight immortals to slay demons and exorcise demons. Although Ma Jingtao is known as the Roaring Emperor, the Lu Dongbin he plays is still full of immortality, especially when playing with fans.
The male protagonist in the current immortal drama no longer has the masculine and handsome, debauched temperament of Lu Dongbin, and the homogenization is too serious. After more than 20 years, Ma Jingtao will play Lu Dongbin in "Eight Immortals Voldemort of the Eastern Journey", hoping not to destroy the classic. When Ma Jingtao performed "Journey to the East", he was only in his 30s and in his prime, and now that Ma Jingtao is 60 years old, he really can't imagine what would happen to Lu Dongbin, who he played.
In fact, "Journey to the East of the Eight Immortals Voldemort" is a big network movie, and everyone knows that the quality of online movies is uneven, and most of them are bad films. And in addition to Ma Jingtao, there are also He Qiwei, Li Ziwen, He Chengxi co-starring, Gong Hanlin special starring, in addition to Ma Jingtao and Gong Hanlin, everyone may not know, it seems to be another big banner of old actors circle money movie. There are many examples of classics that have been destroyed by online movies, such as Chen Haomin's "Fighting Buddha", "Need for Sesame Officer" and so on. Has the current film and television circle reached this point, and will only eat the old and have no innovation.
