The short film played above is a 13-minute Previs short film originally created by YuYu Film and Television based on the story of the animated film "Seven Great Saints: Bull Demon King vs. Monkey King".
This project is based on "Journey to the West" and is an original project of the Seven Great Sages headed by the Bull Demon King. At the same time, it supplements the stories of the little-known Seven Great Saints in "Journey to the West". It discusses the fact that the big brother Bull Demon King will permanently dominate the demon world in the name of maintaining the unity of the seven saints. Because he continued to favor the powerful younger brother Sun Wukong, the green-haired lion king provoked dissension, causing the seven saints to fall apart, and all the brothers died. Sun Wukong turned against the Bull Demon King and became the Bi Mawen of the Heavenly Court. In the end, the Bull Demon King understood the true meaning of brotherhood, reconciled with Sun Wukong, and together got rid of the green-haired lion king who wanted to lead the three realms, successfully avenged the dead brother, and then they went their separate ways.
Heaven felt threatened by the sworn worship of the Seven Great Sages of Huaguo Mountain, so they instigated rebellion against Monkey King, the younger brother who had long wanted to become a fairy. The departure of Sun Wukong made the Bull Demon King very dissatisfied, and then the other brothers around him were killed one by one, which made the Bull Demon King think that all this was because of Sun Wukong's betrayal, so he decided to come to the heaven to get rid of the traitor brother Sun Wukong.
