A Magician with Super Powers

When Li Lekang went back and discussed the idea of ​​Resurrecting Terracotta Warriors and Horses with the team in detail, everyone realized that this must be a huge and arduous task.

The first is the size of the personnel. According to Li Lekang's conception of the mighty Qin army, there must be at least tens of thousands of people to create such a shocking feeling on the scene.

Secondly, there must be very realistic and restored artistic workmanship, which means that it is absolutely impossible to meet the requirements with simple post-production special effects, and it must be handmade in reality.

Finally, there are requirements for the venue. The studio cannot meet the requirements. It must be in a spacious outdoor space, and it must be open enough to be used.

No matter which one of these items, it is a huge cost input.

And it can't be performed on the stage, it can only be used as an art film, but it can't be released in theaters like Hollywood blockbusters... But its production cost is not lower than blockbuster films!

Obviously this task can be done, but no one would do such a loss-making business... It's just that this kind of money-burning thing meets the master who has money and has no place to burn it!

Li Lekang is rich!

He doesn't care much about cost.

The pursuit of effects and high evaluation is his goal.

The increase of fans is more important than boring money numbers, I don't know where it goes.

You can find ways to raise things like a budget.

For example, it has completely recovered from the civil strife, and the ever-growing consortium of saints after being unified and planned by Steer is his best financial backing.

Therefore, the problem of funds is not a problem. At present, it is more about personnel and props.

According to the data that Li Lekang obtained from unknown sources, it is even richer and vaster than the human scale of the Qin Dynasty restored by current archaeology.

For example, the terracotta warriors and horses are oxidized due to exposure to the outside, which makes them lose their original color, but in Li Lekang's materials, these terracotta warriors, chariots and various props are all in bright colors.

Those swords and weapons are also dazzling, and some objects are even ideas that have not yet been named! If it is really going to be produced, Li Lekang will change the name to documentary art!

In order to restore the grand occasion of the Great Qin Dynasty, the site that Li Lekang wants to build can even be used as a cultural ancient town or a photography base!

Even if he is very rich, it is impossible for him to say that the bulldozer will drive over once the shooting is over. Many of these are things that have not been verified by archaeology, which will be of great help in restoring history.

Although experts may not necessarily adopt his idea at present, for tourists, his restoration must be the basis for them to enter the situation!

When it is truly discovered one day, people will be amazed that the great magician has really crossed over!

Li Lekang found it interesting when he thought of this!

So no nonsense, let's do it!

This is a big project, covering all aspects, from site investment to construction, to negotiating with the local area to attract investment, and then to the customization of clothing and props. It can promote a new industrial chain... There are too many!

Li Lekang even felt that it would not take three to five months - this was based on Judy's suggestion. She felt that the cost of building all the real proportions was too high, and the time period was too long.

She said: In some scenes needed for shooting, props and post-production techniques can be combined. After the effect is presented, if it is very suitable, then continue to invest in post-production.

After listening to her thoughts, Li Lekang also cooled his mind, knowing that it is indeed too much to ask for a full restoration of the truth.

So according to her idea, the film was shot first.

If it becomes popular, the project must have life.

There are some big bosses in China who are rich and have nothing to do. They like to invest in some weird theme parks. They spend billions or even tens of billions. There are actually not many tourists, but they are happy.

So as long as the content is rich, the traffic will naturally attract many investors who have money and have nowhere to spend, and want to cultivate artistic sentiment.

There are precedents for building thousands of giant Buddhas in the deep mountains, building a super big castle in the wilderness, and so on!

Okay, just do as you say!

Li Lekang is not a person who insists on going his own way, and sometimes he has to listen to the opinions of people around him.

Judy is relieved, otherwise, if he does what he wants, the cost of time and money will be too high.

Later, the team will formulate a detailed plan, and then discuss with the local officials... All kinds of details and work have to be discussed little by little.

Li Lekang didn't stop there, he left behind the business team, and the rest of his journey around China continued.

The filming team went with him to shoot more cultural scenery and visited more places with different styles.

I also made a trip back to the United States on the way to deal with some trivial matters.

Finally, when the time was right, Li Lekang returned to Xi'an with a larger film crew, and he was going to start filming the performance part of the magic journey!

The theme is the resurrection of the terracotta warriors and horses - magic, art and history can be reflected in these few words!

In order to create the big scene of the resurrection, tens of thousands of people will be used on the scene. They are responsible for playing various soldiers of the Qin Dynasty, and they will be presented under the wide-angle lens with different shapes of terracotta warriors and horses.

Although special effects can be used to save time and effort, Li Lekang still wants real people to participate, because the effects produced in this way are incomparable with green screen technology.

Secondly, there are also audiences who come to watch the scene-it is still Li Lekang's practice, he does not engage in video magic, but whatever is presented on the screen can be realized in reality!

This is the most distinctive feature he brought to fans, so when the news of the outdoor performance came out, his tens of thousands of fans were excited again!

Tickets were not originally planned to be collected, but later it was considered that there would be too many tourists and it would be unfavorable for management if there was no threshold, so the threshold was set more to control the flow of people.

This aspect makes sense. A guardrail was built on site to isolate the audience. The entire shooting location is located in the outskirts. With the approval of the government, bulldozers were used to push out an area about the size of two Forbidden City.

Then build buildings and dig pits on it, restore the scene of the terracotta warriors and horses, and finally build a stage. It was used for performances in the early stage, and may be developed into an ancient city of Qin culture by developers in the later stage.

Anyway, the follow-up effect depends on the traffic and popularity brought by Li Lekang's performance.

With the current strength of Li Lekang's appeal, he may not even need to spend too much money to build this ancient palace restored by Qin culture.

Focusing on the present, Li Lekang is about to start his performance.

It is also the most anticipated part of today's tens of thousands of viewers.

The entire project cannot be presented on stage. It can only be shown on the screen as a documentary. Magic is part of it. Li Lekang plans to go through it today.

The high platform made of marble restored the style of the altar of the underground palace, and then amidst loud shouts, master craftsmen dressed in Qin Dynasty stepped up to the altar in an orderly manner and began to make terracotta warriors and horses on the spot.

From the making of clay, the whole story has been endowed with a breath of mythology. In Chinese legends, Nuwa is also a human being made of clay!

Under the drum performance of the Huaxia Gufeng Orchestra, the vocal music is surging, and the magnificent chapter of history is being reopened in front of the audience!
