It has been ranked among the "most popular" along with 10 scenic spots such as the Forbidden City in Beijing, Shanghai Disneyland, and Luoyang Longmen Grottoes. Popular among the top ten scenic spots in China."
With such a great place at your doorstep, how can you not quickly start a happy journey about movies?
The National Day has just passed, and autumn is in full swing. All "travels" are full of meaning, and you may be full of surprises if you are not careful. Jianye Huayi Brothers Movie Town is located in Zhongmou County, Zhengzhou, Henan Province. It is the first immersive place in the Central Plains that integrates movie scene tours, movie interactive entertainment, movie-themed performances, movie cultural experiences, movie-themed inns, folk customs and intangible cultural heritage experiences. A popular place for fashionable movies.
In fact:
Everyone has a movie dream
Or wearing a cheongsam, Pingting is elegant
Or wearing a military uniform, guarding Country
Or dress in white and hold a sword to the end of the world
In order to live up to this generous gift from the Jianye Huayi brothers to the Central Plains, I checked the guide before coming and booked the inn and Tickets and get ready to fulfill your own movie dream with ease and joy.
Next to the tourist service center is the entrance to the movie town, "Zhongshan Gate". The gate looks very majestic and has a sense of age. Carrying an old-fashioned suitcase from the 1930s and checking in at Zhongshan Gate: our movie trip has officially begun.
It only takes a second to get on the movie road.
This place is based on the creative blueprint of old Zhengzhou at the beginning of the last century. It restores the old buildings from the early days of Zhengzhou’s commercial port one by one. It also transforms the film history, culture and behind-the-scenes of the film industry into content that can be interactively experienced, cleverly integrated into it. Among the streets.
From the moment you step into the Film Avenue, you feel like you have traveled back to the turbulent old Zhengzhou of the last century. When Zhengzhou's commercial port first opened, the streets were crowded with time-honored brands, bustling with people, and the sound of hawking was endless, which was very cordial. Compared with watching the characteristics of the Republic of China on TV, it is more real and has a stronger sense of experience. Being in it feels like being there, and there is a little excitement in my heart.
The essence of movies is to create dreams, and movies are a bridge of communication between small towns and tourists. The scenes in the play are so realistically restored before our eyes. The sound of gunfire and shouts that ring from time to time make people fall into the play for a second. "Assassination" suddenly integrates us into the play. The shoe shine vendor moves skillfully. I polished my white leather shoes.
The guy selling cigarettes and pocket watches grabbed my husband and asked: "Buy a pack of cigarettes?"
How much?
Ten dollars.
Ocean or RMB?
While we were bargaining, seven or eight people from the Ax Gang came aggressively to destroy the place. As soon as I asked a question, I was taken hostage. While he was still in shock, he took the ax from the gang leader's hand and lifted it, and suddenly he was speechless: It's so light, it turns out to be a prop.
The drama queen had just found some sense, and was arranged by the studio staff to pull a banner on the side of the road: General Feng Yuxiang is coming, you are responsible for shouting slogans. Everyone followed the instructions very obediently.
I saw a very majestic convertible. General Feng gave a majestic and passionate speech. Suddenly, someone from the opposite building shot him. The assassination operation began. He heard "Protect the general." "The order was issued, and a group of troops tracked and shot the assassin. The assassin shot the general from different directions without showing any signs of weakness. Pistols, grenades, and explosive packs crackled. Smoke was everywhere for a while, and thick smoke billowed from an explosive pack. At my feet, I was so frightened that I turned pale and quickly covered my pounding little heart. Fortunately, the guard quickly threw the explosive bag back to the assassin on the second floor. In the end, the assassin was captured alive, and the drama ended temporarily.
This is the heart-pounding gunfight blockbuster - "Assassination". The main story is that when General Feng Yuxiang was in power in Zhengzhou, he purged gangs such as Qunfang Dance Hall and opium dens that endangered people's health and social order. A story about a bully who encounters an assassin on the way and still works hard to maintain social stability.
From "watching a play" in the past to "acting" on your own, from "touring" to "experience", the actors in the garden will stand in front of everyone and face you together. Play, play. In the hail of bullets, he unconsciously participated in the action of protecting the general.
From watching the drama to starring in the show, the handsome patrolman, the ruffian Ax Gang, and the innocent college student all went abroad with various characters at the same time, experiencing the excitement of passing by "bullets" and feeling the pain of becoming a "hostage". The long-buried "movie dream" is seamlessly linked here.
According to reports, "Operation Assassination" subverts the traditional drama viewing model and recruits extras half an hour in advance. Actresses who have a desire to perform can sign up in advance.
Carrying the patrol gun, you will be the most handsome patrolman, carrying the big axe, this street is yours, become an actor, promote the development of the plot, and realize your movie dream in 360-degree immersion. I heard that my introverted husband was eager to try out and wanted to play a part-time job.
Jianye·Huayi Brothers Movie Town has 69 attractions, including Zhongshan Gate "Starting Show", Movie Avenue "Assassination", "Encounter with the Clown", and the World Theater "Film and TV Character Show" ”, "Battle of Tai Chi" and "Yang Luchan Learns Boxing" at Shui Pier, "Central Plains Swordsman" at Guanyintang Railway Station, "Tai Chi Show" on the stage, "Intangible Cultural Heritage Storytelling" on the stage, "Spraying in the Sky" at Qianyuan Tea House, "Shadow Puppet Jubilee" "Origin from the West Lake", "Searching for the Monkey King", "Kung Fu Elephant" and so on. The night tour performance "A Play Along the Way" *** has more than 200 actors participating in the 70-minute play covering three time and space, four acts and eight scenes.
When I came here, I truly experienced that I was making a movie, I was living in the movie, I was the hero and heroine in the movie, and I was the brightest star. Here, movies become reality and dreams become reality. Therefore, we must calm down, slow down, integrate ourselves wholeheartedly, and savor it carefully.
Continuing forward, pop songs from the 1930s are playing on the street, and you can instantly travel to the old Zhengzhou of the last century. Old-fashioned signboards are lined up on both sides, and the dust and smoke of the past are blowing in your face. The grand occasion seems to be right in front of you. Looking along the tram track, you can see men and women dressed in Republican costumes who are in high spirits, and rickshaws that jingle and clank through the streets. Encounter with the fashionable cheongsam of department stores and old stores with a sense of age. Most of the performances are free. And it is carried out in a cycle, without interruption throughout the day, progressively, step by step, amazingly.
There is a clown selling special-shaped balloons on the roadside. He uses a pump to inflate various balloons while enthusiastically soliciting customers. His red nose and exaggerated and strange shape make people laugh. Seeing that I was very curious, he showed me the process of making a cartoon bunny from a special-shaped balloon, and he warmly invited me to take a photo with him.
After walking a few steps, I saw a fortune teller with a sign saying "Magic Fortune Teller". The gentleman said that tourists don’t need to speak, they just choose the card with their last name on it and put it back and mix it with other cards. With a gesture from the fortune teller, a parrot flew over and took out the card, accurately reporting the tourist’s birth date. The horoscope and surname, as well as a divination sign corresponding to your surname, write about marriage, career, wealth, future, character, life span, etc. "If the calculation is not accurate, no money will be charged." After hearing this, a young lady in a cloak next to her experienced it with her boyfriend. What was unexpected was that the parrot hit the target with perfect accuracy. The fortune teller accurately named the girl's surname, which seemed to be quite accurate. of.
In fact, it doesn’t matter whether the fortune tellers are accurate or not. The two cute little parrots are a magic weapon to attract tourists. The happiness they bring to everyone with their clever and cute looks is priceless. ?
Standing in front of Movie Avenue, I was attracted by the dazzling variety of signboards hanging at the entrance of the store. These signs are all designed by Mr. Huang Baorong, the royal artist of Huayi Brothers, and then handmade by craftsmen. Signs like this cost 915 yuan a day in the town. Every scene we enjoyed, There are many people working hard behind it.
Traveling is a kind of exile and thinking. When looking back, the past becomes a still image, frozen, still, and played back. People coming and going, things like pain or love, enrich the film of life.
There is a "Intelligence Station No. 12" on the corner of the street. Its theme is set as follows: Listen, gunfire came from the mysterious room, and there were screams in the torture room. Visitors will take on the challenge of pretending to be a spy and create a spy war. At Intelligence Station No. 12, you can become a spy, experience the spy scene, or disguise yourself as a lurker.

The second floor displays models of various monitoring equipment. You can sit among them and have a special monitoring experience.
A particularly realistic torture room scene. A couple rented a set of costumes. After putting them on, they instantly transformed into a female agent, and the boyfriend transformed into an underground party being tortured. Photos were taken at will in the real scene. , all very cool.
I met a female spy at the intelligence station taking pictures on a motorcycle, so I went over to take a photo and play a role. The little girl was very happy. When I asked, she was also from Xinxiang, and we added each other on WeChat. Where are we in life? If we don't meet each other, it turns out that heroes don't ask where they come from, haha.

Certificates of awards for advanced workers are posted on the walls, and kerosene lamps, horse lanterns, black and white TVs, and tape recorders are placed on the desk. , old desk clocks, sewing machines, SA, old newspapers... Every item can evoke distant memories. Picking up any item at random seems to be listening to the whisper of time.
The theme of the Eighty-Old Memory Restaurant is: people of the past, old playthings, memories lost in time: home, old street, canteen, barber shop, post office, people's theater, school, literature Society... In those days, the sky was always blue; in those years, people's lives passed very slowly. ?

In the Guangyin classroom, the teacher's words "Cha classmate boy" written on the blackboard were clearly visible. The iron pencil box on the desk and the sound of music coming from time to time were The sound of the bell after class and the announcement of eye exercises are still in our ears, taking us back to the lush years of the 1970s and 1980s.
The beauty of "80 Memory Restaurant" is to restart the years and let us know that there are always so many regrets in life and we cannot go back to the original starting point. We can only cherish the people in front of us and live happily every day. one day.

There are so many scenes in Movie Avenue, the Silent Film Era, etc. that are so real that we can’t tell which ones are real and which are fake. Let us see it no matter where we are on the door steps, seats, or anywhere. Just pose in the corridor around the corner and take a photo, and it will be a blockbuster in one second!
Passing through the narrow path paved with bluestone slabs, what comes into view is the ancient city wall full of mottled traces of time. Stopping here, the scene of ancient battlefield warriors fighting hard seems to come into view. This is "the past in the capital". This area is composed of multiple movie plots, using traditional ancient buildings as the carrier. The overall building is antique. The first floor includes the Babel Tower, the stage, the oil-paper umbrella block, the bird dragon lantern block, the lantern block, the Shaolin Temple block, the archway street, and 45 traditional folk snacks. The second floor consists of 18 themed private rooms with movie plots, a banquet hall for banquets for hundreds of people, and a private seating room for literati and gentlemen to toast and invite.
Here, you can experience the thrill of being in a movie plot, and at the same time, you can visit traditional folk cultural performances and experience the flavor of traditional folk snacks. With a shout, the waiter has drawn your thoughts into the bustling streets of Beijing; with a flash, the most beautiful elegance of the Republic of China has been frozen at this moment. Whether it is the prosperous ancient times of modest gentlemen or the graceful elegance of the Republic of China, in all of this, you are the protagonist here.
Smell the aroma and enter, "Once Upon a Time in Beijing" is set like a movie set, with great shows on stage and delicious food off the stage. There is a dazzling array of snacks at the stalls, as well as movie-themed private rooms.
When you walk into the lobby on the first floor, you will find that it is famous for movies such as "Tai Chi from Scratch", "Tai Chi Heroes Rise", "Detective Dee: The Empire of Heaven", "New Shaolin Temple", "Kung Fu", "Journey to the West: Conquer the Demons" The private rooms on the second floor are divided into several areas with different themes, such as Empire of Heaven and Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. The area is surprisingly large. Even so, it is still crowded at meal time. beg.
In addition, in order to create a sense of a Beijing neighborhood, everything from compact alleys to spacious dining halls is designed to resemble a movie set and consider the comfort of circulation. There are 45 snack stalls. The mouth brings together the most authentic snacks from eighteen regions in the Central Plains, with more than 200 delicacies. It can be said that you have stepped into the past of the capital. The alleys are full of snacks, the streets are full of aroma, and the sounds of various hawkings are endless.
In such a prosperous and lively capital city, it is natural that ditty songs are indispensable to add to the entertainment. A large central stage has been built in Beijing's Past, where tourists can watch the show and dine at the same time.
Although it is a place to eat, it is very unique and has a sense of time travel. There are many brightly colored umbrella lights on the top of the hall, which are beautiful, dreamy and beautiful.
Enjoy the delicious food while enjoying performances by folk artists.
Wudalang sesame cakes, mutton steamed buns, old duck soup, Jiaxian glutinous rice noodles... make people feel like they are in a bustling market place, where the aroma of delicious food and the heroic spirit come together.
It is worth mentioning that the food here not only tastes great, but is also very affordable. There are a variety of snacks such as braised noodles, large-sword oden noodles, iron plate grilled squid in crock pot soup, eggs rolled in fried dough sticks, etc. It's delicious and not expensive, and will revive you with full health in minutes.
The grilled skewers here are also very special. The grilled squid is a complete and huge one. It costs 20 yuan a skewer. I feel full just by this one.
The first floor is a specialty snack street, and the second floor is a high-end banquet room. The sculptures and murals here are very distinctive. The old man popping corn and a group of children covering their ears remind many people of their childhood. The memory is as if the smell of popcorn followed the loud "bang" sound, and the white rice pops out.
Since I had previously booked the Xijian Inn in Tai Chi Village, I went back to the room to take a nap after dinner. The gentle butler brought fruits and milk, and told me to pay attention to mosquitoes when watching the performance in the evening, and also thoughtfully brought them to me. Here comes the mosquito spray.
After the lunch break, I happened to catch up with one of the most popular shows next to the "Guanyintang Railway Station", the gunfight action drama "The Swordsman of the Central Plains". The storyline is very simple. It tells the story of the Zhengzhou Railway Station in 1920. , the story of Liu Yidao, a knight-errant during the warlord period, who secretly attacks a special train selling arms and rescues his good brothers.
The crew also invited several audience members to participate in the performance. A large number of explosions were used in the performance, including hand grenades, rifles, and cannons. The fire shot into the sky and shook the earth. Not only that, the performance was also full of high-altitude power. Elements such as Yahe motorcycles, martyrs and warlords confront each other, live gun battles, hand-to-hand combat, explosions, actors hanging wires to fight in the air, explosions, fire, heavy rain and thick smoke in a flash, you can see the hard work of fists and fists, Hearing gunfire that was clearer than the sound of firecrackers, swords and swords in front of his eyes, smoke billowing in his ears, the scene of the water tank suddenly exploding was really shocking, and he could also feel the temperature after the explosion.
Although I know that all kinds of explosions and Diao Wei Ya are movie special effects, but I feel nervous and exciting all the time. This immersive feeling is very shocking. The plot design The heroism of the swordsman and the feelings of caring for the big country and the small family, especially the last explosion on the scene and the whole house on fire and collapse, are deeply memorable and immersive.
Guanyintang Railway Station is a restored building. Its historical prototype is the Guanyintang Railway Station built in Sanmenxia City, Henan Province in 1915. It was also an important station for the westward transportation of materials on the Longhai Line in the early days.
The train carries all the meaning of wandering and distance. Standing next to the train, it seems as if the whistle has sounded. The journey full of unknowns and the slowly moving scenery outside the window interpret the meaning of reunion and separation.
Now, this is a cafe and bar with an era theme. In front of the Tsingtao Beer bar, drinking from extra-large beer glasses, there is a sense of heroism that makes everyone drunk even if the wine is not intoxicating.
On the opposite wall, there are large characters composed of neon lights: I have a story, do you have wine?
Some people are looking for a piece of starlight in a strange city, and some are reminiscing about the past in a familiar street. You have a story, have you found your own bottle of wine?
?
A must-see in the evening is of course the live performance "Tai Chi Fighting" on the water. There are about fifty or sixty actors on the scene, telling a story about Yang Luchan in the tone of a storyteller. The story of how he and Yu Niang were surrounded and killed by officers and soldiers on their wedding day. The theme of the story is that the head of Chenjiagou, a Tai Chi village, was about to marry his daughter. Unexpectedly, the Qing soldiers raided and captured the groom. Visitors will witness a duel between traditional Tai Chi Kung Fu and Western-style cannons.
In the whole story, you can find that everyone knows a few hands of Tai Chi, and they are all full of Tai Chi culture. After all, Tai Chi in Chenjiagou is a culture with a long history. Jianye·Huayi Brothers Movie Town Being in Zhengzhou, we also absorbed and displayed the rich cultural traditions here.
After watching the movie "Town at Night", you will feel that the town during the day is a bit deserted. It was really lively at night, and it felt like the number of people doubled, mainly because there was a performance throughout the entire Jianye·Huayi Brothers Movie Town, from the entrance of the silent film era along the Movie Avenue to the film and television character show performance venue, and then Yuniang Pharmacy, the Tai Chi performance site, a mobile performance kicked off at eight o'clock. In addition to the four main performance locations, the vendors passing by also have different performances. You are really watching a show along the way.
Among the many check-in attractions, the most recommended one is the night tour performance "A Play Along the Road". The performance has more than 200 actors participating in the 70-minute play covering three dimensions of time and space, With four good acts and eight major scenes, the audience follows the director's steps, traveling through the prosperity of old Zhengzhou, and immersing themselves in the mystery of Tai Chi...
The first act of "A Drama Along the Way": This is an immersive play-within-a-play. .
As night fell, all the cast and crew of "There's a Drama Along the Road" arrived on time at eight o'clock in the evening. The rickshaw puller, the governor, students, vendors, dancers and other people all stopped in their tracks, and the tourists also stopped to watch. Projection, there are actors, scenes, and stories.
It mainly tells the story of a foreign director and a Chinese director. The foreign director fell in love with Chinese Tai Chi, and followed the Chinese director to record and watch Chinese Tai Chi culture, from Shili Yangchang to Yang Luchan Tai Chi Village to learn Tai Chi. The story line is very clear, and the entire performance design is also Very coherent.
Ace Night Tour "A Drama Along the Road" is like a magical switch. Once triggered, time will quickly turn back. Starting from the Movie Avenue, you will be surrounded by Paramount's leading actresses and street laborers. A rickshaw driver, or a young and energetic student, just follow along...
The second act of "There's a Drama Along the Way": follow the plot, follow the flow of people, constantly change the venue, smoothly Following their guidance, the square in front of the World Theater was bustling with activity. Modern girls sang with all their heart, and staged a 100-year-old song and dance show. There was a large central stage, a small stage, and a huge square where singing and dancing were performed at the same time. The three stages unfolded in sequence and were well-proportioned. A woman on the main stage The actors' huge skirts covered the entire stage. They sang and danced under the night breeze, which was so beautiful. The three actors on the small stage swayed in the light and shadow of the laser lights. They sang and danced to express their youth, dressed in the costumes of the Republic of China. The men and women in costumes moved gracefully, and tourists couldn't help but join in and dance a ballroom dance of the Republic of China with them.
After the song ended, a beautiful light show began on the wall of the World Grand Theater. As the wonderful and magnificent music sounded, the colorful and changing lights hit the wall of the World Grand Theater. On the wall, the colors are dazzling, and the changing light and shadow show the ever-flowing mother river - the Yellow River, the graceful and magnificent peonies blooming, the world's Tai Chi emerging from Heluo, etc.
In a trance, Xin Qiji's poems came to mind:
The east wind blows thousands of flowers into bloom at night,
Even more, the stars fall like rain.
BMW’s carved cars fill the road with fragrance.
The phoenix flute sounded, the jade pot flickered,
Fish and dragon danced all night long.
? The moth is covered with golden strands of snow and willow,
The laughter is full of hidden fragrance.
The crowd looked for him thousands of times,
Suddenly looking back,
The man was there,
In the dimly lit place.
?
Immediately afterwards, the projected light turned from the World Theater to the terrace of another building, where artists wearing long gowns performed traditional folk arts programs. It is truly worthy of being called "There's a Show Along the Road". Various performances unfold one after another along the way, making it dazzling and dizzying.
We were guided by the flow of people to the next stop. On the way, we saw a rickshaw driver waiting for work, a girl weaving, and a vendor selling candied haws. We stopped in front of the people in the paintings on both sides of the road. , this is a complete piece of silk cloth, inlaid in the frame, a beautiful classical beauty like a flower is in it, with a piece of cloth all over her body, without any seams, dignified, elegant, beautiful and noble, just like walking into The beauty in the painting has a face that looks like a peach blossom, which makes people fascinated. There is also a uniformed guard standing next to her, which is a bit inconsistent, probably to prevent harassment from some boring people.
The beautiful people in the paintings are a little graceful, some are as gentle as the wind, some are as tender as water, some are noble and elegant, or some are charming and smart. Their style and charm are all hidden in the cheongsam they wear. This beautiful and ingenious design is full of praise and astonishment.
Arrived at Yu Niang’s Medicine Shop, the venue of "A Drama Along the Road" (the third act), where Yang Luchan's story of learning skills is staged. If he wants to learn skills, he must first pass the test of the girls. The girl only heard that They sang: What kind of medicine do you call when you point your finger upward? What's the name of the medicine below? What does it mean to point to the west? How do you call a finger pointing east? What do you call a finger pointing north? What's the name of the medicine?
Yang Luchan answered while singing: Point upward to call Trichosanthes trichosanthes, point downward to call it Diding, point to the west to call Achyranthes achyranthes, point to the east to call Ophiopogon japonicus, and point to the north to call Fritillaria , pointing to the south is Nanxing.
After answering the first round correctly, the girls started the second round of questions: What kind of medicine does clapping your hands mean? Pat my belly. What's the name of the medicine? What's the point of stamping your feet? Pat your chest. What's the name of the medicine?
? Answer: Pat Polygonum multiflorum with both hands, pat your belly and it’s called Eucommia ulmoides, stamp your feet and it’s raw land, pat your chest and it’s called Chuanxiong.
