Hu Bayi returned to Beijing after leaving the army, reunited with Wang Kaixuan (Li Feng) when he was young, and embarked on a journey of exploring unknown civilization between the mysterious man (Jerry Lee) and the expedition team (Feng Xiaoyue, Li Feng). On the way, he meets Yang Ping (Sebrina), and his familiar face evokes memories of his days on the expedition.
This trip is very dangerous. Before we could find out Shirley's true identity, Hu Bayi, Shirley and Wang Pangzi led a group of people to be bombed by unknown creatures in the prince's tomb, oil city and other places. What happened here once again points to the nine-story demon tower, and what awaits them this time will be an unsolved mystery that has been dusty for thousands of years.
Extended data behind-the-scenes tidbits
1. The photographer of this film is Sebrina's real-life husband-Cao Yu.
2. The special effects lens of this film is in the charge of John, the special effects director of the film The Lord of the Rings.
Special effects are one of the most difficult parts of this film. Almost every actor has to rely on imagination to complete the performance. When Sebrina was filming, she could only see a carved monster's head, and she had to imagine the rest. Then Tang Yan can only watch director Lu Chuan play this monster on the spot.
Entanglement with the original work
Muye Zhang, the author of the series of novels "Ghost Blowing Lights", sued the Nine-story Demon Tower for infringement on the grounds of "infringing the author's right of signature and protecting the integrity of the work".
