This can be seen through the large enlarged photo hanging on the wall behind the original.

According to the table, the main actors in the play are not even paid as much as ordinary people, and some even bring their own wages for filming. This is really sad.

For this reason, the exhibition contents in this hall are more powerful and more credible.

Not to mention that the audience who saw the exhibition were moved by the content, even the station leaders truly felt the efforts of the crew and couldn't help but say "Thank you for your hard work" to the director and crew on the spot.

In this way, the awkward atmosphere just ended and turned into a harmonious atmosphere of mutual sympathy.

And looking further back, we came to the props and special effects area. The content was quite interesting, which made everyone feel happy and relaxed at the same time.

The props here range from big to small.

There is the alchemy furnace of the Supreme Lord, the guillotine and oil pan of the tiger-power immortal, the lotus throne of the Buddha,

There are elixir pots, Nezha's wind and fire wheel, the circle of heaven and earth, and the pagoda of King Li Tian.

There are small paper-mâché peaches, carved ginseng fruits, etc.

The exhibition hall also provides detailed explanations in the form of large picture illustrations on the methods of completing several special effects that the audience is most concerned about.

For example, how does Sun Wukong walk on water?

How did Sun Wukong soar into the clouds and mist?

How were the hot wheels on Nezha's feet photographed?

How does the golden cudgel in Sun Wukong's hand change from big to small...etc.

In addition, there is a large-scale on-site photo of "The Burning of Guanyin Yuan" hanging on a side wall.

The Guanyin Temple above is a miniature landscape carved from wood, and the crew is arranging the fire source.

Although it is a pity that there are no actual items on display here, you can definitely feel through the photos that the props are quite exquisitely made, and the crew did not make do because of lack of funds, and they were very careful.

As for the most amazing parts of this hall, there are two points.

First, in front of many prototype sculptures of Buddha and Bodhisattva characters, and in front of many architectural prototypes, the exhibition organizers imitated the style of real temples and also placed a merit box made of wood and glass.

Through the glass, you can see the colorful banknotes and coins inside.

Second, there is a large fish pond with an area of ​​more than ten square meters in the middle of the house.

Not only are there thousands of small goldfish, rockeries and water plants in the pool, but there are also miniature dragon palaces, shrimp soldiers and crab generals carved out of stone.

Looking towards the middle of the fish pond, it’s even more amazing.

There is a tall stone pillar standing there, with a stone-carved Sun Wukong squatting on it.

There are also the Dragon King and the Turtle Prime Minister under the stone pillars.

Obviously, it is modeled after the scene in "Journey to the West" where Sun Wukong "obtains a treasure from the Dragon Palace" and obtains the Dinghai Needle.

Such ingenuity not only fits the theme of the exhibition, but is also lively and interesting.

Especially for the visitors to the exhibition, in this exhibition hall, you can throw a piece of 50 cents to the crew of "Journey to the West" and collect some money.

You can also look at the goldfish and relax, or spend a few cents to buy two small goldfish to take away.

Some people even threw coins into the pool, trying to hit the Monkey King on the stone pillar.

It undoubtedly greatly enhanced the interactivity of the exhibition.

Even the leader of Taiwan led his people here and saw many people beside the fish pond saying, "One dime is not too expensive. These are fish swimming in the Dragon Palace. Buying a few and taking them back will definitely bring good luck."

Or some people who had just stuffed money into the merit box couldn't help but raise their thumbs and say to the group, "You guys took great photos! It's amazing!"

He suddenly became interested, took out ten yuan from his pocket, and went to collect a donation box to donate to the crew.

Unexpectedly, the Temple of Heaven Garden had already thought of it for him.

At this time, naturally, an accompanying person quietly handed over the 100 yuan prepared in advance.

At the same time, there were also people holding cameras and getting ready to take pictures.

In this way, the Taiwan leader not only took a generous and elegant photo amidst the huge applause, but his mood really improved.

He obviously became more talkative and began to take the initiative to ask questions again.

If you continue walking further, you will come to the costume and makeup hall, and the content here will be even more interesting.

Because the costumes of each character, the headgear of various monsters, and weapons and armors are displayed here.

In addition, there are many rich three-dimensional display methods.

For example, the Academy of Fine Arts has made statues based on the physical proportions of actors. There are both wax statues and wood carvings in the exhibition hall.

The wax figure is closer to the character in the play, and the costume is particularly lifelike, which surprised the audience.

Even the cast and crew felt it was too realistic and had the urge to stand under the characters they played and take photos with them.

The wood carvings are movable, something that emerged based on the cooperation between teachers and students of the Academy of Fine Arts and the National Puppetry Art Troupe.

The advantage of wood carvings over wax figures is that the joints are made in the manner of puppets and can be manipulated manually.

Therefore, this exhibition hall rarely has two life-size dynamic scenes.

One is three dozen white-bone demons, and the other is Zhu Bajie cheating on his wife.

One is thrilling and the other is humorous.

This greatly enriches the interest of the exhibition.

Although it is only shown every half hour, it not only requires special personnel to operate it, but also uses a tape recorder to play the tape.

This method is very crude, and it is indeed not as realistic as American theme parks, which are fully automated.

But there are other folk customs, and looking at the country, it can be regarded as the only one where scorpions poop.

The key point is that the level of sculpture at the Academy of Fine Arts is also there.

To use an analogy, these wood carvings are the Hermes of the puppet category.

Not only is it large, but it is also exquisite and has collectible value.

In addition, there is another feature in this hall that is not found elsewhere.

That is, the dedicated staff put on makeup according to the characters in the play, and the four people who acted as masters and apprentices took photos with the customers.

This is of course chargeable.

Sun Wukong and Zhu Bajie each received one yuan, while Tang Sanzang and Sha Monk received five cents each.

If you need four masters and apprentices to accompany you for a group photo, the package price is two yuan.

This project made the hall very busy, and there was a long queue of customers who wanted to take photos with the four people.

It must be managed by dedicated personnel, otherwise it will be blocked.

Liu Xiaolingtong and Ma Dehua looked at each other. Not only did neither of them expect that their costumes would be so popular and they could make so much money, but they both thought it was very interesting.

The two quickly developed a tacit understanding, and then negotiated with the Temple of Heaven Garden authorities, claiming that they had always taken photos with others while wearing makeup, and had never taken photos with the characters they played.

So I hope to take this opportunity to take a photo with the staff who play the role of "the four masters and apprentices".

Naturally, the Temple of Heaven Garden officials had no reason not to agree, so in front of everyone, a wonderful scene appeared.

The four masters and apprentices without makeup took a photo with their own character styles, and finally there was a group photo of eight people.

This is simply like the two brothers Li Kui and Li Gui.

Although the four actors didn't queue up, and they were forced to go through the back door, the people in line behind them didn't complain at all. On the contrary, everyone was happy to see this.

Some people even took the lead in applauding this scene.

For this reason, the number of spectators in this hall was increasing, which soon caused huge congestion.

The stage manager, who was smiling and watching the excitement, did not dare to stay longer. After the actors took photos, he quickly took the lead and entered the next room.

At this point, the exhibition content has come to an end.

Looking here again, there is more of a commercial atmosphere than elsewhere.

Because in addition to the dough makers, there are also craftsmen who draw sugar paintings.

There is also a special counter selling snacks and cold drinks, masks of Journey to the West characters, inflatable golden hoops, rakes and crescent shovels, as well as books and comics related to Journey to the West.

At the same time, free large bowls of tea are provided to tourists to quench their thirst as a consistent welfare measure.

What's more worth mentioning is that the house also functions as a movie theater.

Ganqing hung color TVs and video recorders in the four corners of the room, playing the accidents of the "Journey to the West" crew while filming different episodes.

These filming behind-the-scenes can provide visitors to the exhibition with first-hand information in a very timely manner and understand the latest progress of the "Journey to the West" crew.

So don't look too much at the copper smell and worldly atmosphere, but this room is the most lingering one.

For those with children, as long as they come here, they cannot help but buy some things to entertain them.

Then, while drinking tea or soda, you will be amused by the scene of the four masters and apprentices taking a break and smoking on the TV screen, as well as the shot of the wire hanging in the air.

When Taiwan leaders came here, they couldn't help but lament the exhibition organizers' knack for making money.

Through the theme of the exhibition, the business aspect is very good. The more money you make, the happier the audience will be.
