After the opening ceremony, Song Qi left Miracle Island.

He is very confident in Director Xiao Ma's ability. Although "The Walking Dead" is a web series, all the requirements during filming are based on movie standards. It can be said that every episode is a movie.

To be able to make this IP so successful now, Xiao Ma's abilities are already better than most directors.

It's just that he hasn't proven himself in movies yet, so he's a little unsure.

Song Qi believes that after "Jurassic World", Xiao Ma will become the most capable director of Miracle Pictures besides himself.

Song Qi arranged the filming location of "The Mist" in Shimen City, not because Shimen City is very suitable, but because the filming location, equipment, and crew of "The Walking Dead" are all there and can be used immediately.

Miracle Film and Television has now become a pillar enterprise of Shimen City’s tourism economy, and the zombie culture and escape room industries have also become a business card of Shimen City, becoming famous all over the world.

Today, the number of escape room stores in Shimen City and surrounding cities has exceeded 3,000, with tens of thousands of people engaged in store operations and other related businesses.

And after several years of operation and improvement, the escape room stores throughout Shimen City have been connected in series and turned into a giant game world.

Players can choose different modes, different levels, and different scale scenarios to play the game here.

Every year, tens of millions of players come to Shimen City to experience the escape room culture. These players bring tens of billions of consumption to Shimen City every year, driving the development of a series of surrounding industries.

Not to mention the most basic catering, accommodation, and transportation, the escape room culture has also driven the development of other related industries.

For example, more than 90% of the props, clothing, and equipment in escape room stores around the world are produced in Shimen City.

Local food production companies have also developed a series of zombie-themed snacks, which are widely sold and are being sold to surrounding areas and even abroad.

You can buy a drink called "artificial myoglobin" in any supermarket in Shimen City.

Its main ingredient is tomato juice, which looks like plasma, which is quite scary.

Some dessert shops also sell cakes that look like human brains and severed limbs.

However, most of these cakes are just gimmicks to attract customers. Only tourists or short video UP owners will buy them to eat them freshly and attract attention.

The strongest flavors acceptable to the public are snacks like finger biscuits, eyeball jelly, and heart ice cream.

Therefore, on the streets of Shimen City in the summer, you can often see young ladies wearing blood-stained nurse uniforms and ripped black stockings, chewing on "hearts" and waiting for taxis.

They are all players and tourists who come here from all over the world, and they can be seen everywhere throughout the year.

Local residents have become accustomed to this kind of scene and are no longer surprised. This has become the unique urban culture of Shimen City.

It is precisely for this reason that after learning that Song Qi was coming, the new mayor of Shimen City personally took the leaders of the Commerce Bureau, Investment Promotion Bureau, Tourism Bureau and other units to receive Song Qi.

This was a serious business banquet, and Song Qi couldn't stand it alone, so he invited Xu Chao and Wang Jianxin to attend the banquet together.

The new mayor of Shimen City, surnamed Cao, just took office in September last year. This was his first meeting with Song Qi.

His predecessor, Mayor Lu, had already been promoted due to his outstanding political achievements, and his reputation was endless.

The main reason for Mayor Lu's outstanding political achievements is that he made zombie culture a cultural business card of Shimen City and vigorously developed the escape room industry.

Both of these political achievements have a great relationship with Miracle Film and Television.

Therefore, after Mayor Cao took office, he naturally wanted to learn from the experience of his predecessors and establish a good relationship with Song Qi.

So, at the wine table that night, before Song Qi's buttocks were even warm, he was being offered glasses of wine.

Before going to the banquet, Song Qi knew about this incident.

He couldn't escape the initial drink, so he accepted all comers and drank first.

After the round of drinking, everyone's emotions were basically in place, and it was time to get down to business.

"Mr. Song, Mayor Lu is my old leader. When he was in office, he mentioned you to us a lot! He always told us that if Shimen City can develop today, we must not forget your contribution!"

Mayor Cao obviously has a good drinking capacity. Although he started to blush after a glass of wine, he didn't appear drunk at all after blushing.

He is 44 years old. At this age, he can be considered young and promising to sit in the position of mayor.

Upon hearing his words, Song Qi immediately understood what he meant.

He obviously said that you, Song Qi, helped Mayor Lu get promoted, so you have to help me too!

"Mayor Lu received the award, so how can I get any credit?"

Song Qi explained with a smile: "Miracle Film and Television is what it is today, thanks to the help of the leaders of Shimen City, who gave a lot of policy support. I borrowed the strength of these leaders!"

He complimented the leaders present, and everyone laughed immediately, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.

"Don't worry, Mr. Song, I'm Mayor Lu's old subordinate. As long as I'm here, this east wind can't be broken!"

Mayor Cao gave the assurance with a smile. What he meant was that the benefit policy for all businesses of Miracle Film and Television in Shimen City remained the same and there would be no changes.

“Thank you, leader, and I’d like to toast you to the leader!”

After drinking wine, Mayor Cao also drank the wine in one gulp, then put down the glass and sighed.

Seeing this, Song Qi immediately understood that this was about to get down to business, so he deliberately asked: "Is there anything bothering you, the leader?"

"Hey! If you're not a family member, you don't know how expensive firewood and rice are!"

Mayor Cao lamented: "Only when you become a leader do you realize how heavy this burden is. Now when I open my eyes every day, I am eating, drinking and eating for millions of people. It is a huge responsibility!"

Song Qi's expression also became serious: "You are a parent and an official, and you are working so hard for the country and the people. That's why we ordinary people are most fortunate to have such a good leader like you."

Mayor Cao found it helpful to listen to the words that he wears a thousand times but never flatters, but these are not the words he wants to hear.

After a pause, he sighed again: "Mayor Lu is a very capable and good leader, he works conscientiously, he cares a lot for us old subordinates, and he is also considerate of the people of Shimen City.

Under his governance, the economic ratio of Shimen City has doubled compared to when he took office. This is his achievement, but it is also an insurmountable mountain for us latecomers!"

He had already spoken to this extent. Of course, Song Qi could not pretend not to understand. He could only express his position: "Don't worry, leader. Everyone adds fuel to the flames. Although I, Song Qi, am not a capable person, as long as I lead the

Wherever I can be used, I will definitely do my best.”

Mayor Cao was waiting for his words. Hearing this, he immediately beamed with joy: "You are indeed the young entrepreneur that Mayor Lu personally praised. Mr. Song really has a big heart! I'd like to toast you!"
