Later, after reading some books, I discovered that the original TV series "Journey to the West" was also heavily adapted. Only then did I realize that all kinds of adaptations are all for telling my own truth and rounding my own story. The old TV series version of "Journey to the West" is to sell the truth that everyone needs to believe in authority. Zhou Xingchi's "Journey to the West" is to sell a love story that fate cannot escape and is helpless.
Donnie Yen's "Journey to the West" is also heavily adapted, but it doesn't tell a story at all and sells truth. He just wanted to sell 3D, like filming "Painted Skin 2" again with a different story.
