《Beijing No. 81 II》As a thriller movie based on the true legend of one of the four most haunted houses in the East, its unique charm and profound story background are deeply loved by the audience.Compared with the first film, this film pays more attention to details and perfectly integrates real historical elements and folklore, bringing a shocking visual and spiritual impact to the audience.

In the preparatory stage, the art team invested a lot of time and energy, reading more than 1,000 volumes of historical architectural materials, and collecting more than 400 old photos of haunted houses including No. 81 Chaonei in Beijing, Xikai Church in Tianjin, and Liwan Square in Guangzhou.These precious historical materials provide a powerful reference for the filming of the movie, making the scenes and props in the movie closer to historical reality.

In terms of plot, the two screenwriters Cai Jun and Tan Guangyuan extracted stories from more than 300 folk legends such as the case of missing infants in the Republic of China, the Thirteen Needles at the Ghost Gate, and Guanyin's Delivery of a Child, etc., including the story of Zhu Youqiu, the ghost in the underground palace, and witchcraft.This makes the plot of the movie richer and more diverse, full of strong oriental thriller elements.

During the filming process, in order to restore the most authentic case scenes and recreate the more realistic fate of the century-old house, the crew spent 1,095 days going through the four stages of finding the site, building masonry, making tools, and gathering evil spirits.This extreme pursuit of details makes every scene in the movie full of reality and shock.

It is worth mentioning that when filming the exorcism ritual scene in the movie, the crew invited real shamans from Yunnan mountain villages to come all the way to the set.This move not only increases the realism of the film, but also allows the audience to feel the charm of the mysterious Eastern culture more deeply.

In addition, the tens of thousands of props that appear in the movie are also the result of careful consideration by a senior art team.Among them, more than 3,000 props were hand-carved by many craftsmen invited by the production team, such as baby spirits, purple river carts, etc. These exquisite props not only increase the artistic sense of the film, but also make the audience more immersed in the film.in the atmosphere.
