After 24 years, the spin-off drama "Wutian Returns: Black Lotus" of "Journey to the West" has been launched recently.

may also be regarded as a sequel. The soul character Wutian is back, and Heizi is still playing the role.

I didn’t expect that my childhood memories would have a follow-up.

The recent release of the game "Black Myth: Wukong" has set off a wave of people's craze for Journey to the West, and Journey to the West Again has become a hot search topic.

The Destiny Man (player) who has inherited the Six Roots of the Monkey King faces the choice of whether to wear the golden hoop at the end, but no matter what choice you make, you will still feel unsatisfied.

Put on the golden hoop and continue to be a dog for Heaven and Lingshan. Otherwise, it is just the beginning of the battle.

It was agreed that the Great Sage would conquer the Lingxiao Palace first, and then attack Lingshan Mountain with his stick?

is different from the conservative nature of the game. As early as 2000, in "Journey to the West", there was a ruthless man who accomplished a feat that Monkey King, the Monkey King, had never accomplished.

He unified the three realms and imprisoned all the gods and Buddhas in the world. Especially his line of provoking Buddha Tathagata was even more domineering, "Should you go on your own, or should I send you away?"

Tathagata was frightened by the ruthless man's sharp edge, passed away on the spot, and chose to be reborn.

After that, he unified the three realms for 33 years!

He is Wutian Buddha, dressed in black and with long, smooth black hair.

has a handsome, compassionate, and angular face.

The key is that he is an emotionally stable boss who treats his subordinates very well. He is a charming villain who is hard to hate.

Now someone finally thought of using the character IP of Wutian to develop a sequel, which can be said to be a wise and discerning person.

How does the villain Wu Tian created by Mr. Kuroko remain timeless?

4 years later, is it still something that audiences are talking about?

1, The originator of ghosts and beasts, rising from 3.9 to 8.1 points

Every boy has experienced the honeymoon period with Sun Wukong. Who has not imagined that picking up the Ruyi Golden Cudgel will make you the king of heaven and I will not be afraid.

The sky will not cover my eyes, the earth will not bury my heart, and I will live as freely as I can.

When I met Cao Rong’s version of Sun Wukong for the first time, I felt that he was both wise and brave, as well as affectionate and righteous, which satisfied the boy’s fantasy of the great sage becoming a victorious Buddha.

At that time, he was not the ancestor of the ghost animal area. At that time, he only thought that this monkey brother was performing a very new stick technique, but the movements were a bit repetitive.

It took many years to learn the truth. It turned out that the episode was not long enough to pass the review.

Cao Rong came up with this weird idea when editing. The time was not enough, so he had to repeat it to make up for it.

However, this editing method has had a negative impact on the series for a considerable period of time.

Later, this kind of repetition was hailed as the origin of ghosts and became the editing material for many up owners.

The ratings of the series have also risen from 3.9 at the time to 8.1 now, completing a fateful change.

Such a rating is inseparable from the people born in the 80s and 90s who grew up. For them, it is not just a childhood memory.

First of all, its world view and plot are relatively grand, with constant climaxes and many mythical stories mixed in.

Then the monkey is smart, resourceful, and has high force value. It is a real battle to defeat the Buddha: You fell down before I even made any effort.

and it truly continues the rebellious spirit of " Journey to the West ".

As a child, who could not hum two lines of lyrics: I want to become a fairy and be happy in the sky.

Whose playlist is missing Mao Amin 's "Lovesickness".

2, Good Boss Five Days Buddha

If you rewatch "Journey to the West", everyone will definitely become a fan of Wutian.

He is the good boss that countless 996 social animals dream of, he is also a villain who cannot escape his destiny, and he is a frustrated person who cannot get what he wants.

Although Wutian is a villain, he treats his subordinates very well and is emotionally stable. He is definitely not the kind of big devil who crazily criticizes.

When his subordinates messed up something, he would say "It's because I'm impatient" , and he would also take the initiative to help his subordinates find reasons "It's because Sun Wukong is too cunning."

The magic that Wutian uses most is healing. Every time his subordinates are defeated by Sun Wukong and return, he always does not forget to heal his brothers first.

Who can not love such a good boss?

His gang of dishonest subordinates, despite cheating the boss countless times, fought until the three realms were completely lost, and no one surrendered.

The reason why Wutian became a demon is because he had a miserable past.

He was originally a white-robed Kinnara Bodhisattva in Hezhou, Xiniu. He preached the Buddha's Dharma and saved three fallen people, one of whom was a prostitute named Asham.

Ah Sha was influenced by him and vowed never to sell his body again. If he broke the oath, he would commit suicide.

Kinnara was framed by someone. In order to save his life, Ah Sha was "forced" to submit. Afterwards, she abided by her oath and committed suicide.

The painful Kinnara hoped that Buddhism could help him, but he was accused of having six impure roots and was expelled from the mountain.

It is said that the Buddha has no form, how can there be such double standards?

He turned black and became Mara Wutian after 30,000 years of hard training, just to drive the hypocritical Buddha out of Lingshan.

"I am not a monster to begin with, I just can't stand the hypocrisy of Tathagata's false compassion."

is different from the facial makeup villains, Wutian’s character is more three-dimensional.

The boundary between good and evil is no longer clear in him, it just stems from different choices.

It is the archeology of things like Wutian that has made the series gradually move towards classics in recent years.

3. Why did Wutian fail?

Analyze Wutian's failure from external reasons. In short, his subordinates are too arrogant, and he is nepotistic and conniving with his subordinates.

Unlike those bosses who change villas and drive sports cars to become more successful the harder their employees work, Wutian is constantly dealing with messes for his subordinates.

It seems that there are five demon kings such as black robe, giant scorpion, lei demon, black lotus envoy and nine-headed insect for him to drive, but none of them can really share his worries.

As the most powerful general under his command, Heipao only caused trouble for his boss, slaughtering villages at every turn and destroying Wutian's foundation for governing the three realms.

Other monsters are not much better. It is commonplace to take human life lightly and do whatever they want.

No wonder Wutian would particularly appreciate Tang Sanzang and Sun Wukong. He even told the Great Sage that if they wanted, they could rule the world as equals.

He really cherishes his talents, but he has no choice but to balance good and evil since ancient times.

From an internal perspective, no one can seize the Three Realms, but does not know how to govern them.

His method of governing the three realms is "as usual", but he uses magic to turn monsters into gods, and what he does is still the errands of the gods in the past.

His revolution was not thorough. He only saw the corrupt side of the managers of the three realms and overthrew them, but failed to really find a solution.

However, the real cause of Wutian’s failure was the kindness in his heart.

When he shared the tragic past with Tang Sanzang, Tang Monk did not preach. Instead, he said with empathy, "Maybe I will be like the great monk."

It is this sincerity that inspired the kindness in Wutian's heart.

On the eve of the decisive battle, Wutian's kind-hearted incarnation opened the prison where the gods and Buddhas were imprisoned, and he calmly faced his destined failure.

Wutian’s failure was not a crime of war. Since he could force the Tathagata to pass away, he could crush all sentient beings in terms of combat power.

It is not so much that he was exchanged for his life by Sun Wukong, but in fact he lost to his innate kindness. Even if he transformed into Mara, his kindness has never been eradicated.

Zhanwang Wutian’s new drama

In 2015, there was a TV series "Shi Gandang: Heroes of the East", trying to continue the glory of "Journey to the West".

Liu Xiaolingtong plays the Jade Emperor, and the monkey finally lives up to what he hates most.

Director and screenwriter Qian Yanqiu is the screenwriter of "Journey to the West". His most popular work is the "Detective Di Renjie" series.

However, this drama is not as good as the original, and spares no effort to pursue the special effects performance of the battle between gods and demons.

is undoubtedly asking for disgrace, giving up telling a deep post-Journey to the West story.

Now with Muten, the former villain, as the protagonist, we hope not to make the same mistake again.

The spirit of Journey to the West is resistance, and the war between gods and demons is just a cover. How to resurrect the spirit of Wutian 24 years ago is the key, not just superficial.

I hope Wutian can truly return. What Sun Wukong cannot do, he may be able to do it again.(Written by Mu Weizhou)
