Exquisite workmanship and ingenuity to build a fantasy city
-Demystifying how to reproduce classic movies in Universal Beijing Resort
Our reporter Sun Yunke
After multiple rounds of stress testing and trial operation, Beijing Universal Resort has a grand opening on September 20.
In this global theme park, the electromechanical installation team of the China Construction Second Engineering Bureau uses a number of cutting-edge technologies and ingenious ideas to create realistic scenes and turn the whimsical ideas in the movie into a touchable reality for tourists. Bring a wonderful experience step by step, opening a new door to fantasy.

A realistic reproduction of the original forest 60 million years ago
As soon as the Beijing Universal Resort opened its doors, it became popular all over the country, and it was inseparable from the globally popular movie elements.
The seven themed scenic spots, including the Minion Man, Jurassic World, Harry Potter, Transformers, and Kung Fu Panda, each of the themed scenic spots can achieve an immersive and in-depth experience. The world of movies like the “environment”.
Scene construction is a key part of the re-engraving of classic movies at Universal Studios Beijing.
"The core role of scene creation is to truly restore the scenes in the movie, making visitors feel as if they are truly in the movie world and travel to the time and space of the time." said Yang Meng, the mechanical and electrical installation project manager of Beijing Universal Studios, the installation company of China Construction Second Bureau .
Re-engraving classic movies is a complex system project, including decoration, props, audio, projection, interpretation lighting, theme lighting and other sub-contents.
Yang Meng introduced that the combination of sound, light, decoration, machinery, etc. can bring people a multi-faceted experience such as vision, hearing, and touch, so as to efficiently convey the atmosphere and intention of the designer or builder.
The construction of the scene is full of artistic aesthetics. In Beijing Universal Studios, everything from details to the overall structure is reflected.
On Nubra Island in the Jurassic World, the old banyan trees entwined with ancient vines and the volcanic rocks can be seen everywhere, making people feel like they are walking through the virgin forest of the Jurassic era.
These shocking scenes are all realized by the restoration technology of the theme architecture of the film and television scenes.
In order to "resurrect" Nubra Island and move the original environment 60 million years ago to the real world, the builders of the China Construction Second Engineering Bureau constructed the basic outline of the rockery model based on the concept map and model provided by the creative, and then hand-made it The rockery model uses 3D scanning and digital engraving technology to calculate the digitized rockery skin data and make the “skin” of the rockery.
Subsequently, the technicians divided the rockery skin into more than 3,000 square pieces, designed the secondary steel structure, and finally reversed the "skeleton" design of the main steel structure.
After the rockery’s "full-body skeleton" is shaped, BIM technology is introduced to perfectly "reproduce" the Nubra Island scene effect.
Intelligent unmanned vehicles lead the Jurassic adventure
Jurassic World Adventure is the most exciting riding game in the Jurassic World theme park.
Lined up on the tour bus, one after another prehistoric dinosaurs with teeth and claws, different shapes, and mighty and domineering appeared in front of people. Tourists seemed to be in a world of extinct creatures "awakened" by technology, walking side by side with the giant beasts, running and chasing.
The riding facility here is actually a highly creative "ATLAS" car, that is, an unmanned intelligent all-terrain vehicle, which will lead tourists on an adventure tour of Nubra Island.
The “ATLAS” car will drive along a pre-set track route. During this process, the sightseeing scenes light and dark, and the dinosaur props make a terrifying roar. With the cooperation of light and sound and other equipment, the dinosaur is like a real " "Resurrection" comes to people and brings visitors a full range of sensory stimulation.
"The main difficulty of the entire riding system is to determine the location of the smart car, that is, the location of the tourists, so that the actions made by dinosaurs and other props are meaningful." Ning Huan, head of electromechanical technology of Beijing Global Project, China Construction Second Engineering Bureau Chang said, "If we compare the entire Jurassic World Adventure to a living organism, our task is to build nerves for it and make it'live'."
In order to allow the central control system to "see" the position of the smart car, the Beijing Global Electromechanical Project team specially introduced a magnetic bar code positioning system, which is connected to the main control room through the guide rail, and transmits position information to the central control system in real time.
When debugging before the opening of the park, the position accuracy of the smart car feedback has been controlled within the centimeter error range.
Behind the tourist passage, there is also a row of fully automated computer rooms, which is the "brain" that guarantees the smooth operation of Jurassic World Adventure and other amusement equipment.
The staff of the installation company of the China Construction Second Engineering Bureau had to perform the overall system linkage after the completion of the commissioning of each system, so as to render a realistic picture of the Jurassic era.
The 7-meter-high "Milkshake Cup" ignites a joyous atmosphere
In addition to Jurassic World, Beijing Universal Resort also has the world's largest little yellow man park. The yellow little people and cute expressions make people go back to childhood in a second.
The Little Yellow Man Paradise truly reproduces the adventure story of the protagonist Gelu and the yellow people. Visitors can meet movie characters anytime and anywhere, take photos with the cute little yellow people, and watch wonderful performances.
In order to create an immersive entertainment experience, the builders of the China Construction Second Engineering Bureau carried out construction in accordance with the architectural features in the movie scenes of the Minor Yellow Man series.
Among them, the 7.4-meter-high, 170-square-meter, pink "milkshake cup" landscape building is the most distinctive roof landscape in the park, and it is also a key scene in the Minions movie.
Liu Chuanwei, an engineer of China Construction Second Engineering Bureau, introduced that the "milkshake cup" roof landscape is a special-shaped hyperboloid building. In order to achieve seamless construction, high-quality flatness and perfect gloss, the flatness deviation value of the wall within 6 meters It cannot be larger than 2 mm.
For this reason, the BIM team composed of dedicated personnel adjusted the version 10 construction plan within a month. After 75 days of fighting day and night, it finally successfully overcome the problem, reproduced the life scene of the protagonist in the movie, and "ignited" hundreds of minions. The joyous atmosphere of walking around the streets and alleys.
It is worth mentioning that the Minion Man Paradise uses a semi-indoor design, while the Minion Man Paradise in Universal Studios in other parts of the world is mostly outdoor.
The semi-interior design can effectively cope with changing weather and extreme temperatures. The skylight of the Little Yellow Man Paradise Moe Le Island can be opened or closed according to the temperature, ensuring that visitors come to the super large indoor space to experience the cute roller coaster, rotating equipment and other amusement projects. The best play experience.
