The moment the ferry docked, Horston came back from his trance. Who would have thought that just over a year ago, Durin was just an ordinary businessman ...... under his rule.

Well, a businessman who is a bit of a threat to him, he heard that Doolin is going to run, so he kicks Dührin out and wants to earn some political donations from Doolin by the way. What he didn't expect was that Durin was much better than he had imagined, not only did he survive in Corsenas without relying on him, but he also lived very well.

During this time, there were always people who talked about Durin in his ear, about the city of Otis, and sometimes about him, but most of them were not words that he was happy about, such as the people who mocked him for his stupidity. A guy like Doolin with enough talent and "strength" did not stay under his own hands but sent him away for fear, but let the goddess of fate kiss Durin's forehead lightly.

How stupid!

His mentor also thought that this was a failed plan, but no one had done anything wrong, and no one could have imagined that Durin would be able to quickly develop a ruined city in such an environment, and withstand the pressure at the beginning, and turn the city of Otis into a jewel in the middle of the empire with his wild ideas.

This gave Durin a great reputation, but it also showed people what he was capable of, and he was definitely a brilliant young man.

Now, he had to stand here again to greet Doolin, for they were almost the same, and it could even be said that the Lord Hoston, the mayor of Ilian, was a head short in front of Doolin. Because he wants to run for governor of Cosenas, he has a good relationship with Harry, and in three years Harry will nominate him to be governor of Cosenas if he is elected prime minister. Whether a nomination is a nomination, a run, or a vote that needs to be run, the King James successor is in most cases unexpected, because the successor represents an extension of the political platform of the previous governor.

But there was one more Doolin in there, and Hothton wasn't sure if Doolin knew what he was doing, and if he stuck a stick in the gubernatorial race, it would be a terrible blow to his gubernatorial dreams!

A ferry pushed through the thick fog of the winter morning and slowly approached, and the stiff muscles on Horston's face shook in the winter wind before he squeezed out a smile, and he took the initiative to stand by the gangway, watching Durin descend from the gangway.

Looking at the deserted streets, Durin shook hands with Hoston, "This year's winter break seems to be a little more deserted than usual!"

Hoston nodded, "The number of tourists who came to Ilian for tourism in the two months leading up to this year's winter break has dropped dramatically, some small workshops have gone bankrupt and run in debt, and some people have chosen to leave Ilian to look for opportunities in the south, so it will be relatively deserted. He extended his hand and invited Durin to get into the car.

What he meant by this was that the city of Otis had put a lot of effort into publicity, snatching away the tourists that belonged to Ilian, causing a severe economic recession in Ilian two months before the winter break, causing a wave of closures of small handicraft workshops that were not serious.

As a tourist city with sightseeing as the economic pillar of Yilian, there is a huge demand for tourist flow, once the flow of people decreases, all aspects of the city will be seriously affected, and what is worse is that those handicraft workshops that do not have the ability to resist risks began to have a backlog of a large number of goods but no one cared about the situation, resulting in some of the shops and workshops that borrowed goods and distributed goods because they could not repay the loans, and had to choose to go bankrupt and close down to end their operations.

The economic recession in a region does not create only one kind of problem, this kind of problem is absolutely diverse and can be very complex.

Horston's hidden complaint was indeed what he thought in his heart, after all, there were only so many tourists in the empire, although it increased a little every year. The popularity of Otis will inevitably affect other places to a certain extent, not only Horston, but also the mayors of several other cities. The only one that hasn't been affected is the South, where nearly a third of the main consumer population comes from the Union.

After passing through the newly built ring road, the cars entered the eighth arrondissement, which was noticeably much more populous, not only local celebrities, but also some film workers from the imperial capital, and a large number of journalists.

The 8th arrondissement is billed as the "cradle of imperial cinema", and the tone was set when it was first built – everything was for cinema.

There are a total of eight scenic spots, whether it is the sea or the desert, the plains or the forest, there is also a wide range of living quarters, as well as a variety of facilities and buildings. It can be said that as long as you shoot a movie here, you don't need to leave the city, and you can completely assemble the scenes needed for a movie. This is very important for many film practitioners, to know that the cost of framing in a film occupies a considerable part.

Just chartering a boat or a chartered car is a big expense!

Now, these costs are saved because it can meet the needs of the vast majority of films.

Standing in the crowd, smiling like a flower blooming in the cold winter under the spotlight, Horston publicly announced that he had negotiated contracts with at least eleven film crews, and that at least seven films would be filmed at the same time, and the crowd around him suddenly erupted in exclamation.

As long as one of them sells well, it is enough to prove that the 8th district is sound in terms of soft and hard facilities, which can attract more filmmakers to choose to make movies here, and the 8th district will also become a shining signboard. In the original design, visitors were also given the opportunity to experience the filming process, and the contract stipulated that if the crew needed to use extras, they should first be selected from among the visitors.

If the crew rejects this contract, it is not impossible, but in the use of some projects, there is no discount.

With such a rule, those crazy cinephiles are sure to turn District 8 into a gold-sucking monster that contributes to the economic development of Illian traditions.

This time was different from the last time, after saying a few words, Horston actually took the initiative to greet Dulin, "Mr. Doolin, come here!", he greeted Dulin while holding his stomach, and said to the reporters and guests around him, "Mr. Doolin must be familiar to everyone, the builder of the miracle of Otis City, and one of the largest investors in the eighth arrondissement. Most people will have moments of success, and Mr. Doohrin is clearly the best of them, he has been successful, so let this successful man talk about his vision for the future of District 8!"
