This film contains the "top ten scenes" created by more than 1,000 design drawings. The editors used sketches + real images + movie screens to present several main scenes to the audience first, not only can you see that The magnificent imagination in the prosperous Tang Dynasty can also feel the precision and painstaking effort of the creators to restore the creativity to reality. In these scenes, the most difficult to achieve is the Queen’s power symbol "Tongtian Buddha" and the "underground ghost market", a place of paradox. Among them, to create a "360-degree" Tongtian Buddha from nothing, the crew used it entirely. It took 10 months; and in order to find a suitable place as a "ghost city", the crew went all out to find a karst cave, which was carefully constructed and poured with 2000 tons of water. In addition, in order to achieve the authenticity of the grand scene, more than 6000 extras were used before and after the film
