At the age of 30, Chu Lam joined the crew of Journey to the West directed by Yang Jie, playing the role of the king of the Kingdom of Women - who is infatuated with Tang Monk (played by Xu Shaohua). The Paper wrote that Chu Lam's acting and appearance were as soft as water, becoming a classic image in the hearts of the audience.

The episode of Tang Monk and his disciples in the Kingdom of Women is considered by many viewers to be the best in the series. In the book The Road Beneath Our Feet, which assistant cameraman Tang Ji Quan wrote before joining the film crew, Zhou Lin was thin and dark. At the director's request, she gained weight and stopped sunbathing to become fuller. He commented that Zhou Lin was simple and approachable, and extremely serious on set. The actress quickly got into the role of the infatuated king. Many times when she was acting with Xu Shaohua (as Tang Monk), Zhou Lin's passionate, yearning, and passionate eyes made Xu Shaohua laugh and unable to concentrate on her performance.

In this film, the director and screenwriter changed the content quite a bit compared to the original, especially Tang Monk's psychology. In the novel, the character is completely indifferent to love between men and women, but in the film, Tang Monk is sometimes moved by the beautiful queen. The director once said that he wanted to show that Tang Monk is also a mortal, the key point is that he puts everything aside for the responsibility of going to the Buddhist scriptures. The actors believe that this adaptation makes the character closer to real life.
