In addition, we have further optimized the layout of films to be screened in Beijing. Based on the experience of previous screenings, we have created a viewing belt along Chang'an Avenue, a viewing belt for universities in the west, and a viewing belt in the north to make it more convenient for movie fans to watch movies together, allowing everyone to run less errands and watch more movies. . At the same time, a variety of "movie+" activities will be organized and carried out to strengthen the joint experience of "film and television culture + entertainment and games", and hold filmmakers' happy runs, filmmakers' basketball games, e-sports animation carnivals, etc.
