The project is based on the story of Journey to the West and begins with a plea for help from Taibai Jinxing (the Star of the White Tiger). Learners are tasked with assisting Taibai Jinxing in designing the journey to the West for Tang Seng. The first challenge of the project is to select the most reliable eldest disciple to escort Tang Seng through the 81 tribulations and successfully obtain the true scriptures. Learners need to conduct research and compare the suitability of Sun Wukong (the Monkey King), Nezha (the Deity with the Third Eye), and Yang Jian (the Deity with the Third Eye) for this role. Additionally, they must create AI avatars that allow these three characters to interact with people from their own perspectives, thereby helping others better understand their characteristics.
After selecting the disciple, learners are required to rewrite the classic episode of Journey to the West titled “The Three Strikes Against the White Bone Spirit” based on the chosen character’s traits. They will then adapt this episode into a screenplay and complete a live-action filming or a prop-based performance.
