The Monkey King stole a flat peach, ate it and threw it away, which was not needed by the plot. Why?

Sometimes, people will miss their childhood more and more as they get older. Although our childhood was not full of games like pulling iron rings and playing top, we had all kinds of TV dramas and cartoons. The black cat sheriff and gourd baby broadcast on TV on time every day are accompanied by our growth from generation to generation. However, if you want to talk about classic TV series, it must belong to The Journey to the West, and the best one in The Journey to the West is 1986 version of The Journey to the West.

There is a scene in The Journey to the West in which the Monkey King guards the flat peach garden for the queen mother. Who would have thought that the bold the Monkey King ate all the flat peaches and threw them away. This is actually not needed by the plot, but there is really no way. Today, Bian Xiao will talk to you about why the Monkey King threw away the flat peach after only one bite. We all know that the Monkey King jumped out of a stone. He was fearless, but loyal, and took the trouble to escort Tang Priest to the West for Buddhist scriptures.

The birth of the Monkey King shocked all the immortals in the sky. The jade emperor couldn't bear the monkey to come out of this stone and live in Huaguoshan, so he recruited the Monkey King to the sky with the title of Bi Marvin to help the jade emperor guard the stables. Who would have thought that the Monkey King didn't want to guard the stables for the Jade Emperor, and he made a mess of the stables within three days. Seeing this, the Queen Mother sent the Monkey King to the Flat Peach Garden to guard the Flat Peach in order to appease the Jade Emperor. This flat peach blooms once every 500 years and bears fruit once every 1000 years. In heaven, it is a delicious food that only the queen mother can enjoy.

And bold the Monkey King couldn't resist seeing this delicious flat peach, so he tasted all the flat peaches and threw them away every bite. I believe that many friends, like Bian Xiao, feel sorry for the Monkey King's extravagance and waste. The Monkey King's extravagance and waste is actually not the need of the plot, but a necessity. We know that the Journey to the West broadcast in version 86 is a classic among the classics.

Then the filming of this The Journey to the West must have been before 1986. At that time, China was in the early stage of reform and opening up, its economic base was backward, and the crew lacked funds, so it was impossible to buy flat peaches. After careful study, the crew bought a large bag of ordinary peaches, reported white foam paper on the outside of the peaches, and asked the artist to draw them, thus forming a delicious and huge flat peach. Because the outside of the flat peach is made of foam paper, there is no way for the actor to eat a whole flat peach.

So I had to let the Monkey King eat one and throw a flat peach, which became a highlight of the Monkey King's extravagance and inexperience. I wonder if my friends noticed those flat peaches thrown by the Monkey King when they saw them? At that time, under the condition of shortage of materials and funds, we were able to shoot such excellent classic works. Why not reflect, in the case of sufficient funds and abundant material conditions, why can't you shoot a work that can surpass the classics? Let's call it a day. Thank you! Farewell.
