Script killing is indeed the last two or three years. Maybe they will often mention it. They may start talking about script killing from the secret room, and then add, maybe in these two or three years, some entertainment stations have also launched related similar things. The program then brought out such a trend, so I think this thing in the future is a combination, that is, our culture, and then combined with the preferences of young people nowadays, and then an entertainment service can be derived.
[Explanation] "Script Kill" originated from social games in European and American countries. Players need to choose the role they want to play. After reading the script, they play their respective roles through language, facial expressions, and body movements. In recent years, they have become popular among young Chinese.
[Explanation] In 2018, Huang Yi and Zhou Shengqi, who are engaged in the IT industry, opened the city’s first offline "script-killing" reasoning hall in Wuhan Zhongshan Avenue People’s Park, named "Mad Hatter", and invited to Beijing Internet "Dachang" "Working friend Chen Shuyi came to partner.
[Commentary] After receiving the invitation, Chen Shuyi hesitated again and again. Although she often listened to her friends discussing the topic of "Script Killing", this was an area that she had never involved in her career.
To this end, she read a lot of relevant materials and conducted market research.
In the second half of 2019, Chen Shuyi quit his high-paying job at an Internet company and joined the "Mad Hat".
[Explanation] Now, when stepping into the "Mad Hatter", the original 100-square-meter shop has expanded to 1,000 square meters, and 13 new game rooms with themes such as large mansions, Japanese tatami mats, and Shanghai song and dance halls have been added to make players Immersive; in the cloakroom, players can wear cheongsam, Ming and Qing costumes, Japanese kimonos and other costumes and props according to their roles, and enter the world of scripts from visual and auditory aspects.

That is, the script kill that we want to deliver is either a game that children play. We would hope to say that it is actually a game worth promoting, and it can have a lot of background.
It can combine some cultural heritage, but it is not just our Chinese cultural heritage, it may be (and) some of this cultural heritage from other countries, Western countries.
[Explanation] According to public data, as of the end of 2020, China's "script-killing" offline stores exceeded 30,000.
In Chen Shuyi's view, "script killing" has become a new social model for many young people. When young people who are playing mobile phones at home are willing to put down their phones, walk out of the house, communicate face to face with others, and make friends, this is called "script killing". The value of ".

So through the script to kill such a game, and then let everyone talk face to face, communicate and then feel the real person, not the account behind your computer, I think this is a very good thing.
[Explanation] Chen Shuyi said that in her hometown of Taiwan, there are many outstanding talents in literary creation.
Next, she hopes to introduce this "hot spot" of creation in Wuhan to friends in her hometown, and to reach cooperation with them, to introduce more works by authors and screenwriters to the mainland "Script Killing" market, and to help cross-strait youth cultural exchanges.

One trend is that slowly I believe that Taiwan may start to become popular in the youth circle in the past two years.
Because to be honest, the culture on both sides of the strait, especially in the entertainment area, I think young people must have the same things, which I think is beyond doubt.
The cultural creatives on both sides of the strait, because we already know that many authors and publishers have a lot of good works, then Taiwan itself has a lot of talents for cultural creativity, so the two sides of the strait have a lot of talents in this area. Talents can also communicate with each other, so we do not rule out that in the future, the authors of these creative cultures on both sides of the strait can also conduct online and remote cooperation.
