It is reported that "King of the Tomb" will be produced by Lin Guohua, a famous film and television person who has created popular dramas such as "The Four Young Masters", "The Gods", "Beauty's Rival in Palace", "Ancient Swords", "Palace 1", "Palace 2", and "The Lost Tomb". It will be produced by the original production team of "The Lost Tomb", the TV series that won the highest ratings in July 2016. Yin Chao, CEO of Taomeng, said: "We hope to create a phenomenal IP. It is difficult to make a lot of money by simply making online movies or online dramas. Only after multiple parties work together can we make a profit. The original work of "King of the Tomb" opened the precedent of tomb-style martial arts themes in the animation industry, and its story and content have great potential."
