Synopsis

Five hundred years ago, when the havoc in the heavenly palace, the wick Zixia in front of the Buddha's seat was about to burn out. With the help of the Moonlight Treasure Box, Zixia sees that her lamplighter is the Great Sage Monkey King who will haunt the Heavenly Palace in five hundred years! But in this life, he is just an ordinary person named Zhizunbao, and is ready to inherit the noodle shop of his father. The first generation lights up the lamp, and the third generation becomes attached. What is the fate of Zixia? Is the Supreme Treasure the one he loves?

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 4

These are the principals we have on file — the full crew ran to the hundreds. Every film this size was made by far more hands than any credits list ever names.

Why a floor?

This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.
