What is the story of Journey to the West's Daughter Country? Is it different from the original?

The Daughter Country of Journey to the West is a popular opening film this year, which is adapted from the famous The Journey to the West and tells the story of four Tang Priests passing through the Daughter Country on their way to learn from the scriptures. However, after the film was released, many viewers found that there were some changes between the film and the original. At the same time, there are still many problems in the film, such as dog blood love as the main line and strange appearance.

The film mainly tells the story of Tang Priest and his disciples going through the country of Xiliang's daughter in the process of learning Buddhist scriptures in the Western Heaven. However, four people were flooded on the road and washed into their daughter's house by huge waves, and a series of stories happened. On the edge of the cliff, Tang Priest met the king of his daughter country for the first time, and was immediately fascinated by the pure and beautiful girl king. Later, because some of them mistakenly broke into a country with only women, they angered Buddhists. Buddhists hate men very much and they will be executed. But the king of love seeds fell in love with Tang Priest. The Tang Priest and his disciples were pregnant because they drank the river from the mother and son by mistake. So a series of sad and happy plots happened.

So what changes have taken place in the plot of the film and the original work?

First, the plot has been expanded.

In the original novel, there is only the single-line feeling between the king and the Tang priest, and the emotional struggle between the master and the apprentice. Other people's stories are blank and dispensable in their works. But in the movie, not only a large number of characters are added, but also enough event space and emotional space are given to make this love story more reasonable and fuller. Truth is regarded as the ultimate thinking and display.

However, the film did not completely deviate from the spiritual essence of the novel, that is, under the call of a sense of mission, Tang Yan returned to the right path of learning from the scriptures. It is not that he is not indifferent to the king, which also exists in the novel. But after fierce struggle, Tang Priest gave up his personal worldly happiness and chose the truth of seeking happiness for more people.

Second, reduce the age of the queen to the teenage stage.

To some extent, this adaptation is more adequate. An adult woman will pay more attention to balance when dealing with feelings, and will not be so restless. But girls are very different. They are in adulthood and have an infinite desire for love. Tang priest, male, was curious at first, and the interest caused by curiosity turned into love. After experiencing emotional setbacks, she understood the concepts of maturity and overall situation and became a more qualified queen.

It is undoubtedly more touching to deduce and excavate such a queen during the formation of the world outlook. The queen in the original work is only a test of Tang Priest's determination, but she has not tapped the queen's heart and made in-depth exploration. Undoubtedly, this is the biggest success of this film, and it is also the biggest difference from novels and old TV dramas.

In fact, everyone has different opinions, so there is no need to copy the novel completely. It is no problem to adapt and create according to your own thinking about the original work, but it seems that many viewers are generally conservative in thinking and everything is original. Holding the classic model of the past, unwilling to accept new things. In this film, Zhao He has reached the standard in acting, but as for the plot, they have their own views.
