"Zhengtu" is the world's first free business model, creating innovative gameplay such as automatic path finding, automatic monster killing, and national wars with thousands of people on the same screen, which has driven the market size of the game industry from several billion to hundreds of billions. Since its launch in 2006, the entire series of products has accumulated more than 500 million players, and once set a record of 2.1 million players online at the same time.

The main creative team is full of expectations, showing off their muscles on the spot?

As a movie adapted from a classic game IP, at the event, the creative team were full of expectations for the filming and release of the movie.

Director Chen Desen, winner of both the Golden Horse and Golden Image Awards for Best Director, his representative works include "October Besieged City" and "A Man's Martial Arts"

"I am a veteran player who spends a lot of time playing the game every day, so I tried my best to restore the classic scenes in the game in terms of equipment, weapons, landscapes, etc. I hope that this time I can make a "Zhengtu" movie that will satisfy the players and the audience."

Starring Peter Ho

"Everyone has their own journey. When the director first contacted me to shoot "Journey", he asked each of us to do fitness. When we stood together, people would only think of three words: 'hormones'! At that time, I knew that my journey had officially begun..."

Starring Henry Lau

"This is my first time on a set, and Peter Ho is my big brother. He is my coach in both filming and fitness. I am especially grateful to him. I have a Peppa Pig in me, and I hope that Journey will be as popular as Peppa Pig!"
