According to the records of "Historical Records", when the first emperor came to the throne at the beginning, he once "passed through the Lishan Mountains and unified the world. The rabbits in the world sent more than [-] people, passed through three springs, lowered copper to form the outer coffin, and watched hundreds of officials in the palace. Zang Manzhi is a rare and strange man. Let craftsmen make mechanical crossbow arrows, and shoot them if they have something close to them. Use mercury as the rivers, rivers and seas, and instill them with the machine, with astronomy on the top and geography on the bottom. With mermaid ointment as a candle, those who are immortal For a long time."

According to modern archaeological exploration data, the actual length of the underground palace of the Qinling Mausoleum in Lishan Mountain is 269 meters from east to west, and 160 meters from north to south, with a total area of ​​41 square meters. The actual depth from the mouth of the underground palace to the bottom is about 6 meters.

In order to create a fake Mausoleum of Qin Shihuang, Starlight Film and Television must take into account these detailed archaeological exploration data and historical records.At the same time, regarding the internal furnishings of Qin Shihuang's Mausoleum, in order to ensure the visual effect after the film is completed, bold imagination must be carried out beyond the records of historical materials.

As for all the written and visual records of Qin Shihuang's Mausoleum, the most profound and amazing thing in Chen Mo's memory is the scene in a movie "Myth" that he had seen in his previous life.

The Mausoleum of the First Emperor of Qin is hidden behind the Lishan Waterfall. The entire interior of the mausoleum is suspended by meteorites from the sky. All the funerary objects and even the palace are suspended in the air. The terracotta warriors and horses are displayed together. After many years, Chen Mo even remembers the content of the film. I can't help it, but I still remember the astonishment when I saw Qin Shihuang's Mausoleum for the first time, and the scene where the hero and heroine flew in the air in the tomb. At that time, Chen Mo felt that the real Qin Shihuang's Mausoleum should be like this--if It would be better if the various funerary objects and scales inside were more exquisite and grand.

So when he was able to build Qin Shihuang's Mausoleum by himself, Chen Mo committed the problem of spending money like water and killing obsessive-compulsive disorder again!

"You said that you want to create a starry sky above the mausoleum according to the orientation of the 28 stars, and pile up mountains, rivers and rivers on the ground according to the ancient maps of the Qin Dynasty. We all understand this. After all, this is recorded in the history books. But you still need to use spaceflight Aviation technology creates a zero-gravity suspension effect in the mausoleum...why?"

"For the visual effect!" Chen Moli replied bluntly: "According to the logic of the ancients, the underground palace is the heavenly palace. Didn't the history books also record that Qin Shihuang ordered craftsmen to build a nine-story tower in the mausoleum for the soul to travel to the underground palace, and continue to rule after death?" Royal mountains and rivers. The soul travel must be drifting. Just imagine, in a dark and vast underground palace, with stars above your head and mountains and rivers under your feet, the stars and mountains and rivers are full of faint light, Qin Shihuang wearing a dragon robe Sitting on the main hall of the Qin Palace where he was alive, serving the mountains and rivers, those 70 Qin veterans floating in the air—"

"Wait a minute!" An old editor of the Imperial Academy scratched his head with a headache, and threw a copy of "Historical Records" in front of Chen Mo, "Look for yourself, the coffin is made of copper! Qin Shihuang has already entered the coffin, and the coffin Floating on the river made of mercury, he can't wear a dragon robe and sit on the dragon chair in the Qin Palace! This does not conform to historical records."

"I know, but art requires imagination. Movie pictures need visual shock even more!" Chen Mo shot "Historical Records" into the air, and explained confidently: "It was Qin Shihuang's body that died, and his body was lying in the coffin. But he His soul is immortal, and he still rules the mountains and rivers of Kyushu!"

"Similarly, the 70 terracotta warriors and horses are actually only dead bodies but immortal souls. Isn't there a record later that Xiang Yu, the overlord of Chu, once set fire to the Qin Mausoleum. In the end, Xiang Yu was defeated and beheaded five of Xiang Yu's men by the Wujiang River The cavalry are the soldiers of the Qin army, exactly the same as the terracotta warriors!"

"But--"

"There is nothing wrong! Regarding the film and television effects of the mausoleum on the ground, we have already done almost the same when we filmed "The Seventh Treasure". Even if we piled up some jewels and treasures according to historical records, in the eyes of the audience, they are nothing more than nothing. If you can't add some new ideas to the Mausoleum of Qin Shihuang, how can you surprise the audience! We can't just consider the historical records, you have to consider the visual effects, mine is 5D special effects!"

When Chen Mo said this, he turned his head and asked, "Your Majesty, do you think what I said is right?"

In the imperial study room, His Majesty the Emperor, who was reading the script with relish, ignored everyone's discussion at all.It wasn't until Chen Mo called a few times cautiously that he came back to his senses.

"What Aiqing said is very reasonable." His Majesty the Emperor casually said something perfunctory, pointing to a place in the script and suddenly asked: "Who will play the soul of Qin Shihuang?"

Before Chen Mo could speak, His Royal Highness King Yan, who had been standing by the side doing nothing, suddenly raised his hand and said, "Me!"

"Hey?" Now even the elders who were immersed in historical records stopped talking, and everyone in the imperial study looked at His Highness King Yan with surprised expressions.

His Royal Highness Yan Wang said calmly: "I think my temperament is quite in line with Qin Shihuang. Although those actors have good acting skills, they don't have the royal temperament. I can act in my true colors!"

Although His Royal Highness King Yan is bragging about himself, even His Majesty the Ninth Five-Year Emperor has to admit that as long as His Royal Highness does not reveal his nature too much, his calm and majestic temperament is really bluffing!

As the director and producer, Chen Mo was particularly speechless looking at His Highness Yan Wang who had finalized the role without even communicating with him. Just as he was about to speak, the sharp-eyed His Royal Highness Yan immediately said: "If you agree with me If you play Qin Shihuang, I will support you in building your Mausoleum of Qin Shihuang. Isn’t it just to use some aerospace technology materials to create a zero-gravity suspension space? In fact, think about it from another angle. Although it costs a little money to do so, after the Qin Mausoleum’s underground palace is completed, The ticket price can also be greatly increased! 3000 yuan per ticket...isn't that expensive! Besides, Qin Shihuang's Mausoleum can be regarded as the facade of our ancient Chinese tomb. In my opinion, it can't be too much. Anyway, this is also It is the first domestic movie supported by the Ming Empire, of course we have to do whatever we want, at least it has to beat that "The Seventh Treasure" by hundreds of blocks, right?"

His Royal Highness King Yan has always had a temperament of rejoicing.At this point, the hearts of all civil and military officials in the Manchu Dynasty are like a mirror.Therefore, when His Royal Highness Yan Wang said the first sentence, several elders wanted to complain that it was a waste of money, but after hearing the last sentence, all the elders fell silent.

It is about the face of the imperial court, and the bosses who have always regarded themselves as "Yangyang Huaxia" don't want to make a movie that they have devoted their efforts to, which is not as shocking as a certain upstart town to shock movie fans all over the world.

Anyway, you don't need to spend any money to build the Qinling Film and Television City, of course it depends on how good the effect is.As for the part of historical logic... as long as it can be justified.Anyway, no one has seen what it looks like inside Qin Shihuang's Mausoleum!

Several senior members of the Hanlin Academy who were still insisting began to flip through the books silently, and said in silence: "Actually, there is nothing wrong with it. Take a look at this article. According to this article, Li Si once said that when Qin Shihuang built the Qin Mausoleum... "

Seeing that the elders no longer insisted on their own opinions, Chen Mo secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

The preparations for the new movie are not as vigorous and in full swing as the outside world imagined.Because it was the first Chinese movie hand-picked by the imperial court, let alone a tomb robbery movie based on the Mausoleum of Qin Shihuang, everyone was very concerned and nervous.The consequence is that the entire preparation work is extremely cumbersome and meticulous.

Chen Mo was the first to take out the script of the new movie "Liuhe" and handed it over to the imperial court for review. His Majesty the Emperor hand-picked several elders in charge of ancient books from the Hanlin Academy to conduct research on the underground palace of the Qin Mausoleum in the film according to historical records and archaeological exploration data. The most basic sketch simulation, and then handed over to the people of the Ministry of Industry, according to the design plan given by the Imperial Academy, to give an architectural model based on the ancient buildings of the Qin and Han Dynasties.

Then it will be handed over to people from relevant departments to discuss where and what materials should be used for construction. For example, the zero-gravity levitation technology that Chen Mo deliberately emphasized before, people from the aerospace department of the Ming Empire must personally participate in the process, according to the specific scale and size of the mausoleum. , and the display part inside, design the best plan, at least ensure that the props can be suspended when they are put in, and will not fall down with a piaji.

Then the people from the Observatory of the Ming Dynasty were responsible for combining the theory of the ancient 28 constellations to decorate the top of the mausoleum to create the effect of the galaxy running.Among them, how should the celestial bodies operate on the top floor of the mausoleum, and what materials should be used to look high-end and high-grade and in line with the characteristics of cultural relics in the Qin and Han Dynasties; on the ground of the mausoleum, people from the geological department of the Ming Empire also used ancient documents to create mountains and rivers. Of course, they would not use mercury. To create landforms, you can only use other materials to blend one by one to produce a liquid similar to mercury in appearance, and you must also ensure that the mountains, rivers and rivers can emit silvery white light when they are in the Qin Mausoleum Underground Palace!

It is said that these effects can be reflected by special effects, but Chen Mo, a rich and self-willed producer, has to simulate the real effects when building the tomb, and then install 5D imaging technology in the tomb... The cumbersome and complicated The level can simply kill all the technicians involved.

Compared with these troubles, it is not a big deal to ask the cultural relics restoration department of the Ming Empire to create a sufficient number of terracotta warriors and horses and other funerary objects according to the appearance and historical records of the Qin Dynasty cultural relics.

In addition, Starlight Film and Television and the Film and Television Department will also rebuild cinemas around the world that can play 5D movies according to the quality requirements of 5D impact technology.

In view of the fact that most of the working capital of Starlight Film and Television was used to build the Qinling Underground Palace Film and Television City, this part of the capital investment had to be borrowed from the bank.Because of the guarantee from the imperial court, this part of the loan process is relatively fast. In addition, Starlight Film and Television has been committed to purchasing overseas theaters for so many years, so the progress of the transformation of the 5D cinema is actually a little faster than the construction of the film and television city.

On the other hand, after Chen Mo finalized the architectural drawings and 5D model of the Qinling Underground Palace with the Hanlin Academy and other relevant departments, he handed over the drawings and models to the real estate company under the Mu Group, and the Qinling Underground Palace Film and Television City project officially started .During this period, professionals from various departments also followed up in an all-round way and provided various technical supports.

Seeing that the preparation of the film's hardware facilities was on the right track, Chen Mo had the mind to finalize the actors, and at the same time, he had at least one year of pre-job training.
