My movie scared the global audience to tears

Tumiao City is a city in western Hunan Province, and it is also the place where the culture of exorcism was born.

Since "Mr. Zombie" and "Zombie Taoist" started a zombie craze in China, this little-known small city has directly become an Internet celebrity city, with countless tourists flocking here to see the origin of this zombie.

The style of the place.

The local government also seized this opportunity to vigorously develop zombie cultural tourism locally and built an ancient town with the theme of zombie culture.

The reason why Tumiao City is so actively competing to host the first Horror Film Festival this time is to promote this newly completed ancient town.

In order to successfully host the event, Tumiao City specially approved a special fund of 50 million, and formulated a complete set of event procedures, and finally successfully seized this hosting opportunity from Shimen City.

The capital invested by Shimen City this time is not small, with 45 million prepared in special funds alone.

Like Tumiao City, Shimen City is also a city favored by horror movie culture.

Thanks to the filming of "Resident Evil" here, Shimen City has become a zombie city in the hearts of zombie movie fans.

Since then, Shimen City has been vigorously promoting the development of zombie culture, the most important of which is the escape room store.

The first escape room store in the country was opened in Shimen City, and it is the No. 1 store that has always maintained the number one sales volume in the country.

At the same time, Shimen City is also the city with the most escape room stores in the country and even the world, forming the largest offline escape room script network in the country.

Players can play large-scale scenarios with up to a thousand players here, attracting high-end players from all over the world to experience it.

The first quarter data released this year showed that escape room store-related businesses accounted for 5% of Shimen City’s GDP.

But it was also because of the good development of Shimen City that it lost the competition with Tumiao City.

The development of zombie culture in Tumiao City is far less successful than that in Shimen City, and it is obvious that this opportunity is more needed.

However, for Song Qi, there is no difference whether it is hosted by Shimen City or Tumiao City in the end, because both cities cooperate with Miracle Film and Television to develop the undead cultural industry.

On August 20, a large white RV drove into Tumiao City. The owner of the RV was none other than Song Qi, the owner of Miracle Films.

As the initiator and initiator of the Horror Film Festival, and the current box office champion of horror films and even the entire film market, Song Qi's arrival immediately attracted the attention of all media.

Countless media outlets surrounded the hotel where he was staying, wanting to interview him.

Song Qi and An Qin, who had not appeared in front of the media for a long time, also gave the media a rare opportunity. After repairing, they accepted an interview in the hotel.

However, Song Qi did not promote his new movie during the interview, but instead shifted the topic to the horror film festival itself and the many directors who came to participate in the horror film festival.

However, even so, the media's focus was still on him and An Qin.

The next day, Song Qi started to get busy.

He is one of the vice-chairmen of the Horror Film Festival Organizing Committee, but he has never been involved in the preparation of the film festival from beginning to end. He always arranges for a special team to handle it and arranges it remotely by himself.

This kind of behavior of turning away from the shopkeeper is somewhat unjustifiable.

So Qin Shiguan took him to have a meal with the leaders of the organizing committee of this film festival and get to know them.

Although it is only a sub-competition unit, the Horror Film Festival is, after all, a formal film festival directly managed by the cultural department, and the members of the leadership team are all important bosses.

Song Qi followed Qin Shiguan and chatted with the leaders for a few days. After drinking for a few days, he became familiar with the leaders.

The leaders were also very polite to him. After all, there are only a few directors in the world who can earn tens of billions from one shot.

If he hadn't already been married, several leaders would have wanted to marry their daughters to him.

Soon, in a few days, the Hungry Ghost Festival is coming.

Tumiao City also quickly became crowded with tourists and tourists.

The first Horror Film Festival attracted countless tourists to Tumiao City, and Liu Hang and his wife were one of them.

In April last year, Liu Hang was promoted and received a salary increase of more than 3,000 yuan.

After the Chinese New Year this year, his wife was promoted to supervisor and her salary was increased by half.

As a result, the originally tense life pressure of the two people suddenly eased a lot, and they finally had the courage to travel during the holidays like their colleagues.

When the two learned that the first horror film festival would be held this year, they were already preparing for it.

The two of them had saved up their vacations and took these few days off just to attend the Horror Film Festival together.

Fortunately, they prepared in advance and booked a cheap hotel. The price of the hotel room they booked later increased several times.

On August 23, they arrived in Tumiao City.

After putting their luggage in the hotel, they happily arrived at Qingmiao Ancient Town, which is an ancient cultural town built by Tumiao City for zombie culture. The opening ceremony of the Horror Film Festival will be held on the waterscape stage on the west side of the ancient town.

This was their first time attending a film festival and they were full of curiosity about everything.

This film festival was very unique. Thousands of extras were arranged throughout the ancient town, creating a vivid ancient town.

When tourists walk among them, they feel as if they have traveled back in time to ancient times, and they feel very magical.

The extras are all drawn from escape room stores in cities across Hunan Province. They are responsible for playing the role of NPCs in the ancient town. Visitors can interact with them and receive tasks, complete them in the ancient town, and receive souvenir rewards.

The entire ancient town is equivalent to a huge script, and the playing experience is quite good.

There are more than ten movie theaters in the ancient town, all hidden in antique buildings, and their names have been changed to movie theaters.

On weekdays, zombie-themed movies are played here, but these days are film festivals, and all the movies released during the mid-year holiday period are shown here.

The opening film of this horror film festival is Song Qi's "Horror Cruise". The so-called opening film is the first film to meet the audience at the film festival.

Ordinary tourists who come to the film festival need to buy tickets, and the number is limited. Even if they are seen by the audience in advance, it will not have a big impact on the overall box office of the film. It can also be made based on the feedback of the audience.

Wave propaganda.

Liu Hang and his wife came here just for Song Qi's movie, so when they arrived at the scene, they took a quick walk around and then went into the cinema.

Although it looks quaint from the outside, the environmental facilities inside the so-called movie theater are exactly the same as those of a normal movie theater.

The only difference is that you can watch the movies here for free because the ticket price is included in the ticket price.

However, snacks and drinks are charged, and the price is a bit expensive.

But it was a rare occasion that Liu Hang was generous and bought two sets of snacks and drinks, and then happily entered the cinema with his wife, ready to watch a movie.
