The Westward Journey IP has been continuously adapted and put on the screen. It has to be said that thanks to the deep-rooted "Westward Journey complex" in everyone’s heart, many classic works such as the 86 version of "Journey to the West" and the 95 version of "Westward Journey" still make fans forget. Recently, another Westward Journey film and television work, "The Return of the True and False Monkey King’s God of War", has attracted people’s attention. In addition to the story and style of the film itself, it is even more surprising that the film also gathers Wu Mengda and Jiang Yuecheng.
When it comes to Wu Mengda and Jiang Yuecheng, I believe that those who have seen "Journey to the West" will not be unfamiliar. Wu Mengda once played "Pigsy" in the film, and Jiang Yuecheng, who was the executive director at the time, played "Sha Wujing". The two left a deep impression on fans with their humorous and funny performances. The crew of the same frame sage killing "True and False Monkey King: The Return of the God of War" can be said to have reunited after a lapse of 24 years, and instantly set off a wave of memory killing, which made many netizens sigh "Our childhood is back".
When old friends gathered, Wu Mengda and Jiang Yuecheng were also very excited. On the set, they started to catch up with each other every minute, laughing and recalling the past, and the scene was non-stop. Uncle Da bluntly said "with you around, I am not the ugliest", which caused a lot of laughter in the audience. For Jiang Yuecheng, who has been a director for many years, Uncle Da directly ridiculed, "Fortunately you are behind the scenes, if you were an actor at that time, I would not have eaten", which is very funny. As for the remarks of the outside world that the two became more and more similar, Jiang Yuecheng also called out "I am Wu Mengda" in person. The two came and went, and they clashed with each other, which was really hilarious. Although we haven’t seen each other for many years, the friendship between the two has not diminished. Talking about the past filming time, Uncle Da expressed his gratitude to Jiang Yuecheng for helping him a lot in the crew. This time, he served as the producer of this film, and he is very confident about the final quality of the film.

After many years, Wu Mengda and Jiang Yuecheng, who worked together again, still have a full understanding, and with full marks, Uncle Da’s skills have not been reduced, and his superb performance has won the unanimous affirmation of the main creative team. With the loving interpretation of his old partner, Jiang Yuecheng, who is the producer, is also full of confidence in the film’s finished effect. As for how wonderful the film is, Jiang Yuecheng said that he will not give spoilers for the time being, "Wait until everyone goes to the theater to see how ingenious the movie is, and what interesting interactions the two of us have in it."
In addition to Wu Mengda and Jiang Yuecheng’s two golden partners, the film also specially invited Jin Qiaoqiao, Huang Yifei and other familiar "drama bones" to join the audience, and at the same time gathered Du Yiheng, He Gang, Cheng Ye, Gu Shangwei, Hu Linxi, Sun Cong, Bai Narisu and other outstanding young actors, the film lineup can be called luxurious. Jin Qiaoqiao once played the kind-hearted and noble "Peacock Princess" in the 86 version of Westward Journey, with beautiful dancing and stunning everyone, while Huang Yifei, as Xingye’s "Royal Gold Medal Green Leaf", has been in the movie for decades and has countless masterpieces. What wonderful performances the two will offer this time, is also very exciting.
At present, the film has been shot for more than half, according to the production team, the atmosphere of the whole crew during the shooting process is very harmonious, and everyone is like old friends and more like relatives. All the behind-the-scenes staff perform their duties, are serious and responsible, unslack, professional and dedicated, and even Uncle Da can’t stop praising them. This is the most attentive crew he has seen in the decades of filming, whether it is from the investment of the characters’ money in the film or the dedication of every behind-the-scenes staff, "I completely feel the careful preparation of the producer and the main creative team, and I believe this film will open a new chapter in the journey to the west."
The cooperation between all the actors is also very pleasant. The young actors are not late and do not leave early, and the filming is hard and does not complain. Not only do they take care of the staff, but they also show great respect to Uncle Da, Huang Yifei and other seniors. For example, after the filming is over, Du Yiheng immediately helps Uncle Da to take a stool and help him sit down, which can be said to be literate and virtuous. The old seniors who are both virtuous and virtuous have no airs at all, do not play big cards, and are very supportive and caring to the younger generation. In interviews, many staff members said that "the whole crew is very warm".
Such a loving crew, working together to create a high-quality screen, I believe it will not disappoint the fans who have been looking forward to it!

Three generations of old, middle-aged and young people will play on the same stage. What unexpected surprises will it bring to everyone?
