Directed by Pan Anzi and written and supervised by Nanpai Sanshu himself, it stars Zhu Yilong as Wu Xie and follows the reunion of the \"iron triangle\" of Wu Xie, Wang Pangzi, and Zhang Qiling after the end of their ten-year pact.<sup>[1](https://www.1905.com/mdb/film/2253498/performer/)</sup><sup> • </sup><sup>[2](https://www.iqiyi.com/a_19rrhwhc51.html)</sup>\n\n| Key fact | Detail |\n|---|---|\n| Original title | 重启之极海听雷; English title *Reunion: The Sound of the Providence*<sup>[3](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5hLskJcYGSM)</sup> |\n| Director / writer | Pan Anzi (director); Nanpai Sanshu (Xu Lei) as screenwriter and supervisor<sup>[1](https://www.1905.com/mdb/film/2253498/performer/)</sup> |\n| Lead cast | Zhu Yilong (Wu Xie), Huang Junjie (Zhang Qiling), Chen Minghao (Wang Pangzi), Mao Xiaotong (Bai Haotian), Hu Jun (Wu Erbai), Baron Chen (Black Glasses)<sup>[1](https://www.1905.com/mdb/film/2253498/performer/)</sup> |\n| Season 1 | 32 episodes, premiered 15 July 2020 on iQiyi and Youku<sup>[4](https://pdf.dfcfw.com/pdf/H2_AN202104281488433377_1.pdf?1619639507000.pdf=)</sup> |\n| Season 2 | 30 episodes, premiered 13 September 2020 on iQiyi<sup>[4](https://pdf.dfcfw.com/pdf/H2_AN202104281488433377_1.pdf?1619639507000.pdf=)</sup> |\n| Reception | Douban opening score of 8.6, later falling to 7.4 after criticism of the second half's pacing and editing<sup>[5](https://www.gamersky.com/news/202007/1305138.shtml)</sup><sup> • </sup><sup>[6](https://ycpai.ycwb.com/ycppad/content/2020-09/21/content_1174964.html)</sup> |\n| Franchise context | First work produced after Nanpai Sanshu regained the *Daomu Biji* television adaptation rights in May 2019<sup>[7](https://www.jiemian.com/article/4699076.html)</sup> |\n\n## Spoilers\n\n### Plot\n\nThe story begins after the ten-year pact between the three protagonists has ended and they have retired to Yucun village. Wu Xie, now suffering from a terminal illness, receives a mysterious text message apparently from his Third Uncle, Wu Sansheng, who disappeared years earlier. To find him, Wu Xie rejoins Zhang Qiling and Wang Pangzi, and together with Wu Erbai and Black Glasses they enter the legendary tomb of the Nanhai King, gradually uncovering the secret of \"listening to thunder\" (听雷).<sup>[12](https://m.thepaper.cn/newsDetail_forward_8294644)</sup><sup> • </sup><sup>[13](https://tongye.cn/tv/daomubijichongqi/)</sup>\n\nIn the novel on which the series is based, the Third Uncle arranges for the ailing Wu Xie to be taken to Jihai Ting Lei to be cured; the series keeps to the novel's main storyline.<sup>[12](https://m.thepaper.cn/newsDetail_forward_8294644)</sup> Season 1 follows Wu Xie through the Nanhai King's underground palace, the mute village, and the Eleventh Warehouse, ending on a cliffhanger at the warehouse's dead-pawn zone; season 2 continues the pursuit of the Third Uncle's trail toward Thunder City.<sup>[6](https://ycpai.ycwb.com/ycppad/content/2020-09/21/content_1174964.html)</sup><sup> • </sup><sup>[3](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5hLskJcYGSM)</sup>\n\nNanpai Sanshu described the series as deliberately self-contained: apart from the continuing question of where the Third Uncle is, it does not depend on unresolved threads from earlier books and does not open new ones, so first-time viewers can follow it.<sup>[11](https://k.sina.cn/article_1374816812_51f20a2c00100pmt7.html)</sup> He said the inspiration for the \"listening to thunder\" element came from merging his reading experience with a childhood memory of lying on a summer mat reading wuxia novels while thunder and rain fell outside.<sup>[14](https://ycpai.ycwb.com/ycppad/content/2020-08/02/content_1029378.html)</sup>\n\n## Background\n\nNanpai Sanshu, the pen name of Xu Lei, began serializing *Daomu Biji* online in 2006; the main series ran to nine volumes and sold more than 12 million copies, and film and television adaptations began in 2015.<sup>[8](https://news.jstv.com/a/20200717/1595056679974.shtml)</sup> In 2013 he had sold six years of television adaptation rights to the company Huanrui. After those rights expired in May 2019, the rights returned to him, and *The Lost Tomb: Reboot* was the first work he controlled after regaining them.<sup>[7](https://www.jiemian.com/article/4699076.html)</sup> He served as both chief screenwriter and supervisor, personally overseeing production quality, which media coverage noted was a first for the *Daomu Biji* screen adaptations.<sup>[9](https://scdnews.com/images/paper/200807/200807C.pdf)</sup>\n\nFilming was completed in April 2019, and post-production took more than a year before release.<sup>[10](https://www.cnr.cn/shanghai/tt/20200728/t20200728_525183913.shtml)</sup> The production used 1:1 scale sets combined with three-dimensional modeling to recreate the tomb environments.<sup>[11](https://k.sina.cn/article_1374816812_51f20a2c00100pmt7.html)</sup>\n\n## Cast\n\n| Actor | Role |\n|---|---|\n| Zhu Yilong | Wu Xie |\n| Huang Junjie | Zhang Qiling |\n| Chen Minghao | Wang Pangzi |\n| Mao Xiaotong | Bai Haotian |\n| Hu Jun | Wu Erbai |\n| Baron Chen | Black Glasses (Hei Yanjing) |\n| Huang Mengying | the mute woman |\n| Xie Junhao | Jiao Laoban |\n\nSource: 1905.com credits and the series' episode listings.<sup>[1](https://www.1905.com/mdb/film/2253498/performer/)</sup><sup> • </sup><sup>[13](https://tongye.cn/tv/daomubijichongqi/)</sup> For Zhu Yilong, the role was his first major leading drama after his 2018 breakout in *[Guardian](https://www.edgepedia.org/guardian)*.<sup>[12](https://m.thepaper.cn/newsDetail_forward_8294644)</sup>\n\n## Release and reception\n\nThe premiere was moved up to 15 July 2020, announced the day before with a first trailer and a \"tomb ship\" poster.<sup>[15](https://ent.people.com.cn/n1/2020/0715/c1012-31784167.html)</sup> Season 1 ran on iQiyi and Youku, with two episodes each on Wednesday and Thursday nights.<sup>[13](https://tongye.cn/tv/daomubijichongqi/)</sup> It closed its membership run on 13 August 2020.<sup>[16](https://ent.cri.cn/20200814/c86fcf47-369c-9c7e-5f88-693bb5814aaa.html)</sup> Season 2, made by the same team, premiered on iQiyi on 13 September 2020, one month after the first season ended.<sup>[4](https://pdf.dfcfw.com/pdf/H2_AN202104281488433377_1.pdf?1619639507000.pdf=)</sup><sup> • </sup><sup>[6](https://ycpai.ycwb.com/ycppad/content/2020-09/21/content_1174964.html)</sup>\n\n**Ratings and audience response.** The series opened to a Douban score of 8.6 with more than 50,000 raters within days, and over 90 percent of early raters gave three stars or more.<sup>[5](https://www.gamersky.com/news/202007/1305138.shtml)</sup><sup> • </sup><sup>[17](https://k.sina.com.cn/article_1374816812_51f20a2c00100p9e9.html)</sup> iQiyi's heat index passed 8,800, and the series ranked first on several mainstream drama heat and index charts.<sup>[16](https://ent.cri.cn/20200814/c86fcf47-369c-9c7e-5f88-693bb5814aaa.html)</sup> By mid-run more than 140,000 users had rated it on Douban, where the score settled above 8.0.<sup>[10](https://www.cnr.cn/shanghai/tt/20200728/t20200728_525183913.shtml)</sup> The score later declined to 7.4, which commentary attributed to muddled editing and padded pacing in the second half of season 1; reviewers praised season 2's tighter pacing.<sup>[6](https://ycpai.ycwb.com/ycppad/content/2020-09/21/content_1174964.html)</sup>\n\nCommentators placed the series against the earlier screen history of the franchise: previous *Daomu Biji* adaptations had generally fared poorly with critics, and *Reboot* was widely described as the strongest-reviewed entry in the IP's screen adaptations.<sup>[7](https://www.jiemian.com/article/4699076.html)</sup><sup> • </sup><sup>[8](https://news.jstv.com/a/20200717/1595056679974.shtml)</sup> Praise centered on the production design, visual effects, and the chemistry of the reunited trio; the Nanhai King's underground palace sequences in particular were noted for their scale and detail.<sup>[16](https://ent.cri.cn/20200814/c86fcf47-369c-9c7e-5f88-693bb5814aaa.html)</sup> Ciwen Media was a co-producer of the series.<sup>[18](https://k.sina.cn/article_1374816812_51f20a2c00100pmt7.html?from=ent&subch=tv)</sup>\n\n## Audio drama adaptation\n\nA separate audio drama adaptation of *重启之极海听雷* was released in 2023, jointly produced by Tencent Music Entertainment Group and Quantum Entertainment (量子泛娱), with season 1 made by the 729 voice studio and Qianmian Studio and voice direction by [Liu Cong](https://www.edgepedia.org/liu-cong). Season 1, 15 episodes of roughly 30 minutes each, began updating on Saturdays at 20:00 on 25 March 2023, with three episodes in the first week; season 2 began updating from 24 June 2023. Yang Tianxiang voiced Wu Xie, Liu Cong voiced Wang Pangzi, and Jin Xian voiced Zhang Qiling.<sup>[19](https://wapbaike.baidu.com/item/%E9%87%8D%E5%90%AF%E4%B9%8B%E6%9E%81%E6%B5%B7%E5%90%AC%E9%9B%B7/62775313)</sup>\n\n## References\n\n1.
