On June 19, action star Cao Rong posted a video on his personal social account and left a message saying that in 2021, he defeated the Buddha in the first fight and struck hard, and he did not forget to write the label of "Journey to the West Sequel".
In the exposed picture, Cao Rong and a group of staff appeared in the dressing room, the staff was busy in the back, wearing a yellow costume, he sat on a stool with a serious face, and asked the stylist to help him adjust his style.
He is 59 years old, and the years have left a lot of traces on his body, but because of his perennial martial arts training, his figure is still straight, and his mental state is also very good, very old and strong.
Netizens recognized at a glance that Cao Rong was restoring the shape of Sun Wukong in "Journey to the West", which immediately triggered a wave of memory killing.
Therefore, someone left a message asking him, is he preparing to remake "Journey to the West Sequel"? Unfortunately, Cao Rong did not reply to everyone.
Coincidentally, a celebrity agent also posted a video of Cao Rong trying to model. Like Cao Rong, he also wrote the label of "Journey to the West Sequel".
Excited netizens have left messages asking, is this a remake or a sequel? Although the agent has replied to netizens, he refuses to respond positively to whether to remake or shoot a sequel, and it seems that everyone can only officially announce it.
The TV series "Journey to the West" was launched in 2000, although many people complained that the martial arts action has been repeated, Sun Wukong is too wooden, the camera is dangling, but the imaginative and cleverly conceived plot makes the audience watch it with relish, and it has become a childhood drama in the minds of many people, and it is often taken out by everyone to relive.
The year before, Cao Rong re-edited the play at the request of everyone. Without those repetitive actions, the episode looks very smooth, the watchability is greatly improved, and it is sought after by netizens.
Later, Cao Rong revealed that the reason why "Journey to the West" has so many repetitive scenes is because screenwriter Qian Yanqiu and producer and director Li Yuan are irresponsible, and everything on the scene is scheduled by him.
This work should have belonged to him, but due to conditions, he could not name the director, only the actor. After the series was completed, the investor also asked him to sign an agreement and let him give up his right of authorship.
In the face of Cao Rong's accusations, Qian Yanqiu could not sit still and immediately ran out to fight back against Cao Rong, saying that he could not read the script at all. In order to accommodate him, he had to delete a large number of literary dramas, so that the script was insufficient, and he had no choice but to use repeated action scenes to fill the numbers.
Anyway, the two men said that the public was justified and said that the wife was reasonable. Since this drama has been filmed for more than 20 years, it is impossible to verify who is right and who is wrong.
As an audience, I can only hope that Cao Rong can bring different surprises to everyone this time, rather than simply fried cold rice.
