Monkey King: Hero is Back, Journey to the West, Great Sage Equal to Heaven (Hua Chenyu) Reactions

In the seventh episode of "The Next" (天籁之战), Hua Chenyu was asked to recompose the overture of a Chinese famous TV series, Journey to the West (86 Edition). The original song, "Yun Gong Xuan Yin," has a strong sense of rhythm, but there are no lyrics. Hua recomposed it within 24 hours and interspersed with rap passages, making the image of Sun Wukong, titled "Great Sage Equal to Heaven", deeply rooted in people's hearts.

In this video, you are going to watch three videos. The first one is a Chinese animated movie named "Monkey King: Hero is Back." This movie depicts a story before Monkey King's "Journey to the West." It becomes a different version compared with the original story but successfully restores the image of the Monkey King, who is our generation's favorite hero. The movie became a blockbuster in 2015, and I want to introduce it to my friends so that they know the feeling Monkey King brings to the Chinese.

The second video is the overture of Journey to the West (86 Edition). It is the original song Hua used to recompose. Almost every Chinese has watched this TV drama for more than one time. It was produced in 1986. The story is based on a novel in ancient China written by Wu Chengen of the Ming Dynasty. Sun Wukong in the book is powerful and has a rebellious spirit. He does not fear power and bravely goes straight to the Heavenly Palace to challenge the Jade Emperor. The Buddha crushed him under the Wuzhi Mountain for nearly 500 years. His weapon "golden cudgel" can be resized at will, so the Monkey King keeps it in his ear and takes it out of his ear when needed. There is a headband on his head to control his power from being used to hurt people…
