As one of the traditional festivals of the Great Xia Kingdom, the Ghost Festival is a one-day legal holiday, which is why the Ghost Festival was created.

On the day of the Ghost Festival, ancestor worship ceremonies will be held in various places, and in southern cities there will also be activities of releasing river lanterns and Kongming lanterns.

Regardless of any holiday, watching a movie is the people of Great Xia’s favorite way to relax.

However, the number of moviegoers during the Ghost Festival is the smallest among all holiday periods.

As a product of national entertainment, movies are naturally more popular with higher national attributes.

The audience base of ordinary and protected-rated movies is naturally higher than that of restricted-rated movies, and this cannot be changed.

The films released in the mid-year period are all horror movies, most of which are restricted or above, so the audience base is naturally the smallest.

However, during this year's Zhongyuan Festival, movie theaters across the country are full of customers and overcrowded, because Song Qi is back!

As the youngest horror film director with the highest box office and the most famous reputation in China, Song Qi has become a representative figure of the younger generation of directors in China.

His first horror film with traditional themes will be released in the mid-year holiday period this year, which naturally attracts many movie lovers to watch it.

In a theater in Fengtian City, Liaoning Province, Masao Nome was quietly waiting in the rest area for the movie to start.

Masao Nome is a native of the Neon Province of Daxia and a professional director.

He has been in the industry for thirty years and is well-known in the industry.

He is famous for shooting horror movies with traditional themes. He incorporated the monster culture of Neon Province into his works and created a series of classic horror movies with traditional themes, forming his own unique style.

In the circle, he is known as the monster director and has many fans who like to watch traditional horror movies.

He is also a member of the Filmmakers Guild and is a member of the Board of Directors.

Originally, there were two directors of the horror film category, one was him and the other was You Bin.

But after You Bin was expelled from the board of directors, he is now the only director of the horror film category.

Sitting on his seat, he held a thermos cup and looked around, chatting and laughing at the audience waiting to watch the movie, with a smile on his lips.

Suddenly, he frowned, stooped slightly, his face became a little pale, and a thin layer of sweat broke out on his forehead.

Taking a deep breath, he took out a medicine bottle from his pocket, poured a few pills out of it, put it into his mouth, then opened the water glass with a trembling trembling, and swallowed the pills with warm water.

Then, he clenched his fist, placed it on the upper right side of his abdomen, pressed it in hard, and held his breath until he could no longer hold it in, then slowly exhaled.

After doing this several times, his expression recovered a little and he slowly let go of his hand.

After taking another sip of warm water, he took out a handkerchief, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and breathed a sigh of relief.

Folding the handkerchief little by little, his expression returned to normal, but his eyes were a little sad.

Slowly putting away the handkerchief, he looked back at the waiting audience.

No one noticed anything unusual about him, and everyone was chatting happily.

Nome Masao likes to observe life, especially the people in life.

Seeing the smiles on people's faces makes his mood brighter.

"Hall 1, "Mr. Zombie" starts at zero o'clock, ticket checking has started!"

The staff notified me that the ticket was checked.

Masao Nome stood up, followed the crowd, checked in, and arrived at Cinema 1.

He found a seat and sat down. Next to him were several college students in a group, all chatting excitedly.

"Song Qi was too perfunctory. He didn't even send a trailer, just a few posters."

"There's nothing I can do. I'm just a bull. I guessed that we would come and see you. I've been tricked, brothers."

"Do you think this Mr. Zombie is any different from the zombies in Resident Evil?"

"One is called a zombie and the other is a zombie!"

"Then why not call him Mr. Zombie?"

"If you ask me and I ask who is going, won't you know after a while?"

"It doesn't matter what zombies it is, as long as it looks good!"

Listening to the discussion of the college students, Masao Nome couldn't help but smile.

Hope so!

He sighed secretly.

But it’s not easy to create new styles in traditional horror movies. I don’t know how far Song Qi can go.

Masao Nome is also a senior member of the horror movie forum. His user name is "Tenmu", and the post that was pinned to the top of the forum was made by him.

He didn't mean to target Song Qi when he posted that post. He just thought that traditional horror movies have come to an end and it is difficult to innovate anymore.

This is his view as a senior traditional horror film director.

But he really hoped that Song Qi could give him a surprise, even if it meant hitting him in the face.

Because that shows that traditional horror movies still have a future, and there are still successors to traditional horror movie directors.

Most of the audience has already entered the venue, the lights are turned off, the dragon logo appears on the screen, and the movie is about to start.

The theater quickly became quiet, and Masao Nome calmed down and looked at the screen.

Song Qi, let me see what your traditional horror movie looks like!

Ding dong!

Accompanied by the familiar music, the animated logo of Miracle Films appeared on the screen.

The raindrops fell and seemed to fly towards the audience.

Although many viewers have watched Song Qi's movies many times, they still can't help but have illusions when they see this CG.

The scene switched and the screen darkened.

Wow~!

With the sound of swaying branches and leaves, a forest appeared on the screen.

Behind the woods, an antique courtyard is located. The courtyard is pitch black, with only a faint firelight moving inside.

The camera zoomed in, and through the moonlight, the audience could clearly see that it was a young man holding an oil lamp, and he was walking towards the foyer in front of the yard.

Bang!

The man raised his hand and pushed open the hall. In front of him was darkness.

He raised the oil lamp, and the weak flame was mostly swallowed up by the darkness, making it impossible to see what was going on inside.

The camera moved in front of the man, giving a close-up of the interior of the foyer.

It was a pitch-black lens, with only a faint circle of light from an oil lamp faintly visible below.

Looking at the screen, the audience in the theater could not help but slow down their breathing.

They couldn't see anything, but they could feel that there was something in the darkness in front of them!

Looking at the screen as well, Nome Masao secretly admired it.

He couldn't understand how Song Qi created such an atmosphere in the movie, but this bone-crushing feeling was undoubtedly one of the greatest weapons in Song Qi's movies, and no one could imitate it.

The flame of the oil lamp was raised and finally illuminated a candlestick on the wall.

The hand holding the oil lamp reached the top of the candlestick and lit the candle. A brighter candlelight illuminated the surroundings a lot, and the audience could vaguely see the environment on both sides.

However, as the hand moved, the firelight illuminated the position on the right side.

The audience was surprised to find that there was a coffin parked there!

Snap! Snap!

The sound of the man's footsteps echoed, and the surrounding space seemed empty.

He took two steps, stopped again, raised his hand and lit another candle.

And the candle's flame illuminated a pitch-black coffin in the darkness.

As the man lit candles one after another, the coffins were illuminated one by one.
Chapter completed!
