Fatal attraction

An Oscar-winning company that produced visual effects for Game of Thrones is set to cast its spell on an upcoming show at the Bird's Nest stadium. Deng Zhangyu reports.

This year's edition of Attraction, a sound and light show tailored for visitors to the Bird's Nest stadium in Beijing, will feature visual effects by Pixomondo, an Oscar-winning German company.

The show, scheduled to be staged in the evenings from Sept 13 to 30, is based on a fictional love story between a human male and a goddess of nature, whose union is attempted to be spoiled by an evil force. Chinese moviemaker Lu Chuan is back to direct the show as well this year.
