The renowned director Qi Xiu happened to hear that Anping City planned to make a promotional film for cultural tourism. He thought, Isn't this the opportunity I've been waiting for?
As a native of Anping, if he did not do his part for his hometown now, when would he?
So he immediately contacted his old friend in the Publicity Department, Publicity Minister Lin Shuo, and offered to assemble a team himself and make the film without charging a penny.

Qi Xiu began to question everything. It was just a promotional film. Did they really need to go this far?

What could he say? Secretary Zhou was thoroughly satisfied!
As a marketing tool, a promotional film was meant to attract attention.
