With the popularization of 3D and other film technologies, contemporary films pay more and more their attention on special and visual effects, but less on the “literariness” of films. However, comparing A Chinese Odyssey series produced by Director Zhou Xingchi with other works of the same theme, it is obvious that the success of“A Chinese Odyssey”series cannot stand alone without its pursuit of “literariness”. “Literariness” of a film definitely continues to enjoy its indispensability in contemporary film environment. The “literariness” of A Chinese Odyssey series is mainly reflected in the excellent language art and elaborate plot construction. It is these two factors that make“A Chinese Odyssey”series a high-quality story and comedy, which is the foundation of its box office myth.
