Huang Zi Tao’s impressive transformation in A Chinese Odyssey

I can’t believe I’m saying this, but please don’t turn this post into a war zone again! Whether you like or dislike Huang Zi Tao (or any actor in general), it is a preference of your own. No one can judge you so please do not attack other commentators for having a different taste.

Now that’s out of the way, we saw Huang Zi Tao without his monkey hair last time and now the production has revealed his transformation into the Monkey King and it’s some scary and impressive stuff. Four hours of make-up! Drama A Chinese Odyssey: Love of Eternity is the upcoming remake of many’s beloved story in the past starring Stephen Chow as the Monkey King. [Read Story from Wiki]

      Props to the make-up department. Yeah, you can’t tell that it’s Huang Zi Tao – it could have been anyone under all that make-up.

    Yin Zheng! He looks very adorable here. I need something to wipe away the image he had in Sparrow.

    I haven´t seen many monkey kings so far….but for me, I love this version the most..great make up!! I also really love the green-white clothes he is wearing.

  1. This actually looks awesome. I look forward to this.

    Great make-up as mentioned. I enjoyed the movies, hopefully this is just as fun.

    Also it would be nice if they keep the theme song. Even as a sub theme. Love that song.

    Adding this to my list.

    I can tell it’s him though, based on his gaze and lips. I hope this turns out good. 🙂

    Props to Tao for donning all those monkey furs and the make-up team. It seems like a hassle when putting on the fur for most of the dramas that has the monkey king in it 😛
