Brother, just how powerful is our family?

While casting is progressing smoothly, scriptwriting and special effects technology development are also underway.

An entire office building was rented out and a sign was hung up that read "The Long Song of China" scriptwriting center.

A team of over three hundred people works here: historians, mythologists, writers, playwrights, storyboard artists... They are divided into several groups, each responsible for an era or a storyline.

A heated discussion is underway in the center's largest conference room.

"The scene of Pangu creating the world must be breathtaking," said head screenwriter Chen. "It can't just be a flash of lightning or a loud bang. It has to show the entire process of the beginning of chaos, the separation of the pure and the impure, and the formation of heaven and earth."

"I suggest using holographic projection technology," said the visual effects supervisor. "We can create a spherical projection screen with a diameter of fifty meters, so that the audience can be immersed in it as if they are witnessing the creation of the world."

"And how tall was Pangu?" someone asked.

"According to mythology, 'He changed nine times a day, becoming a god in the heavens and a sage on the earth. The heavens rose one zhang higher each day, the earth thickened one zhang each day, and Pangu grew one zhang taller each day.' Based on this calculation, Pangu's final height should have been 45,000 li." A young researcher deduced.

The entire room fell silent for a few seconds.

"Forty-five thousand li... how do you describe that?"

"Use a comparison." Qin Feng's voice came from the doorway. He walked into the conference room, followed by several bio-engineered engineers.

"President Qin."

Everyone stood up.

Qin Feng gestured for everyone to sit down: "Pangu's height cannot be directly expressed with numbers. We can use comparisons—when he stood, his head reached the heavens and his feet trod the netherworld; when he breathed, his breath transformed into wind and clouds; when he opened his eyes, his gaze was like the sun and moon; when he fell, his body transformed into mountains and rivers."

He pulled up concept art on his tablet: "This is a preview our visual effects team did. Look—"

On the screen, chaos reigned, and all was emptiness.

Then, the silhouette of a giant gradually appeared. He swung his giant axe, tearing through the chaos with each strike.

The pure air rises to become the sky, while the turbid air sinks to become the earth.

The world grew ever more distant, and the giant grew ever taller.

In the end, the sky was so high that it was unreachable, and the earth was so thick that it was unfathomable, while the giant stood between heaven and earth, upright and indestructible.

When he finally collapsed from exhaustion, his left eye became the sun, his right eye became the moon, his limbs and torso became the four cardinal directions and five sacred mountains, his blood became rivers, his veins became the land, his muscles became fields, his hair and beard became stars, his skin and fur became grass and trees, his teeth and bones became metals and stones, his essence became pearls and jade, and his sweat became rain...

The special effects throughout the process used a hybrid technology of virtual reality and holographic projection.

When viewers put on VR glasses, they will feel as if they are in a state of chaos, witnessing the creation of the world.

Watching the holographic projection version in a theater will make you feel as if Pangu is right in front of you, within reach.

"It's so shocking..." Teacher Chen murmured.

"But this is just the beginning," Qin Feng said. "The upcoming battles between Dao and Demon, the Dragon-Han Calamity, and the Lich-Demon War will all be cataclysmic events that will destroy the world. What we need to do is to realistically present these grand scenes from mythology."

He looked at the visual effects supervisor: "What difficulties is your team facing?"

"It's mainly about technology," the director said honestly. "Some special effects, such as the transformation of heaven and earth, the ability to move within a sleeve, and the ability to shift stars, are difficult to replicate convincingly with current film technology."

"Technology is not a problem." Qin Feng nodded to the cyborg engineer behind him.

The engineer stepped forward and opened the case he was carrying. Inside was a set of lightweight equipment: goggles, gloves, and a sensory suit.

"This is a newly developed virtual reality augmentation system," the engineer explained. "Actors can wear sensory suits, goggles, and gloves to perform in virtual scenes. The system captures the actors' movements and expressions in real time and renders them into special effects."

He demonstrated it: after putting on the glasses, he made a gesture for casting a spell. On the connected screen, the audience saw a giant phantom rising from his body, reaching to the sky and standing tall on the earth, which was the "Dharma of Heaven and Earth".

"This..." The visual effects supervisor was shocked. "This technology is at least ten years ahead of its time!"

"More than ten years," Qin Feng said calmly. "This is Unique Technology of the Universal Group. We will use it to film all the mythological scenes."

The meeting room erupted in commotion. The screenwriters began discussing excitedly:

"Then Rahu's Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation can now be realistically displayed!"

"The Zhou Tian Star Array! It can be recreated!"

"And there's also the Twelve Heavenly Gods and Demons Formation!"

The long-standing technical problem was easily solved.

The following meeting turned into a feast of creative ideas.

The scriptwriters from the mythology team proposed: "We need to design unique magical artifacts for each major deity. Pangu's axe that splits the heavens, Hongjun's jade disc of creation, Rahu's spear that kills gods, Nuwa's map of mountains and rivers... These magical artifacts cannot be simple props; they must become part of the characters, with origins, stories, and power."

The head of the costume team said, "The costumes of the gods also need to be carefully researched. Although there are no definitive records from the mythological era, we can find inspiration from oracle bone inscriptions, bronze decorations, and ancient rock paintings. They should be magnificent, but not ostentatious; sacred, but not stiff."

The martial arts choreography team proposed: "The battle between deities cannot be a simple matter of punches and kicks. It must embody the different levels of 'Tao,' 'Fa,' and 'Shu.' The battle between Hongjun and Luohou should be a clash of the Great Tao; the battle between the Ancestral Witch and the Demon Saint should be a contest of physical supernatural powers."

Qin Feng listened carefully to every suggestion.

He knew it was a massive undertaking. But it was precisely because it was massive that it was worth doing.

The meeting lasted from morning until evening. By the end, everyone was exhausted but excited.

"President Qin, I have confidence." Teacher Chen held Qin Feng's hand. "The Long Ballad of China will become a milestone in the history of Chinese film and television. No, it will be a milestone in the history of world film and television."

"Let's work together," Qin Feng said.

As I stepped out of the creative center, the city lights were already on.

Qin Feng stood on the street, looking at the city that was undergoing a transformation.

In the distance, the lights of the construction site twinkled, indicating that the three major film and television bases were working at night.

Further away, the factory buildings in the materials industrial park are already lit up, and the first production line is being tested.

Beneath his feet, in this city, this province, this country, tens of thousands of people are gathering and striving for a dream.

Among them were workers, farmers, scholars, artists, young people, and elders...

They come from different places and have different backgrounds, but at this moment, they have a common goal: to recreate the glorious epic of Chinese civilization.

This is more than just a TV series.

This is a cultural revival, a spiritual search for roots, and a grand feast for all.

Pangu awoke from the chaos and swung his axe to split the heavens and earth;

Nuwa created humans in the primordial chaos and mended the sky with stones;

The Yellow Emperor and Chi You fought a decisive battle at Zhuolu, with the compass chariot breaking through the fog.

Yu the Great was taming the floods, passing his home three times without entering...

The long scroll of five thousand years is slowly unfolding.

And he, along with everyone involved, is the writer of this long scroll.

The brush is already in hand, and the ink is already ground.

All that remains is the stroke of the pen, and a timeless masterpiece will be born.
