It is reported that, Liu Xiao Ling Tong has been preparing for the film "Journey to the West" for about 5-6 years. The reason for putting off the filming until now is because the previous film scripts are not perfect enough for Liu Xiao Ling Tong. He wants the story line of the film script to be international while the core of the story focuses on Chinese culture.

According to Liu Xiao Ling Tong himself, he would come to the US to negotiate with well-known film makers, looking forward to inviting international film making team to make the film "Journey to the West". He said that he would not exclude the idea of making a 3D film. "I want to find American writers to recreate the film script. I will also meet directors such as James Cameron and Steven Spielberg to discussion cooperation. I will try my best to let them accept my invitations," said Liu Xiao Ling Tong.

In terms of the role of Monkey King, Liu Xiao Ling Tong expressed his idea of playing the role himself, "I'm only 53 years old. Different from the stage play, a film only lasts for about 2 hours. I'm physically strong enough to endure that."
