In Journey to the West, the plot of the python spirit is definitely the most horrible. Although she looks coquettish, she is maintained by drinking human blood.

's most critical battle in the battle with the python spirit is Wukong and the snake-shaped fairy. At the beginning, director Yang Jie wanted to use computer special effects to complete it, but the effect was really bad, and I couldn't watch it at all. When everyone was in distress, Yang Jie directly thought of a bold idea. She borrowed a real python directly from the local zoo, so all the pythons we saw later were real, but the head was turned into the face of a monster.

However, the old artists at the time were able to calmly complete the shooting in this environment. This kind of determination is really admirable. It is precisely this kind of conscientious actors that we can see such wonderful works!
