Journey to the West, one of the four great ancient Chinese classics that has been made into movies and TV series in different forms, was adapted by NBC TV in the United States and named The Monkey King. Since this drama is adapted from Journey to the West, classic characters from the original novel, such as the Monkey King, Sha Wujing, Zhu Bajie, Tang Sanzang and Guanyin, will appear in the new version. Since the drama is produced by an American TV station, and most of the screenwriters and staff in front of and behind the scenes are Americans, even Zhu Bajie, Sha Wujing and Tang Sanzang have all become blonde and blue-eyed. Tang Sanzang, who is almost stereotyped in Chinese film and television works, has a modern attitude to hook up with Guanyin. The Chinese movie star Bai Ling plays Guanyin, and the gladiator Russell Crowe becomes the Monkey King. The story background of The Monkey King travels through time and space, interspersing ancient and modern times, China and foreign countries, so there will be many special effects in the drama, including many action scenes. In order to increase the watchability of the action in the series, NBC invited Cinesite, which was responsible for the action effects of "Mission Impossible 2", to be the action designer in the series!
