October, Guangzhou, circle of friends, these three words combined together, equal to Chimelong Paradise Halloween punch card. Many friends have boarded this train of hundred ghosts at night, and I looked at the photos they sent, and the line completed the garden without dead ends.
In the past, the park was all foreign horror themes, but this year a new horror theme, "Spirit World", has been replaced, restoring the streets of Shanghai in the 1960s and 1970s. Needless to say, the Chinese horror of the wedding theme, the atmosphere is too enough, I suddenly got goosebumps.
These costumes have also been complained that they are underground horror: it feels like there will be real ghosts mixed in, and the thrilling afterglow of visiting the garden after returning home may last for two or three days.
It is indeed a problem. I don't know if it is because of local production and no cultural barriers, China's ghosts and monsters seem to be quite crazy. In contrast, in Japan, in addition to scary monsters, there are also very cute ghosts such as faceless men and ghosts. Some friends came into the park to cos ghosts, so they chose these cute Japanese ghost images.
I also love these Japanese yokai, but! Don't I have cute ghosts in my big China! (Some inexplicable desire to win or lose)
So the fan of this strange talk happily flipped through several ancient anecdotes, issued an invitation to 101 interesting and cute ghost trainees, and after layers of assessment and screening, finally 7 ghosts were able to debut and form the "cute ghost 404" group.
And tonight, it's their c-spot competition night!
If you have a favorite ghost character, remember to click on the vote at the bottom of the article to give them an encouragement! Without further ado, national producers, watch it with me.

[Kouo - Lantern Doji]
Lantern Boy is a Ming Dynasty trainee from the "Ear New" company. As a combination busy, it has always been a veritable cute responsibility, with a lot of grandparents powder.
Why he got into the ghost line, according to the lantern boy, was completely accidental. We interviewed Uncle Zhang, the family member of the Lantern Boy, who described the scene with us:
That day he came home from the field, and in the darkness of the night he was afraid that he would fall, and suddenly a cute child with a lantern came up and said, "Old lady, I will pick you up and take you home." He grabbed the child's hand and walked home, but wondered in his heart: This child has never seen it. Walking to the lighted place in front of the house, the child tried to run away, he grabbed it and did not let go, and the child suddenly disappeared. Looking at the hand again, it turned out to be a very shabby broom in the house. It turned out to be a little monster.
The artifact has a spiritual consciousness and becomes a monster, and it is caught in the current situation, and the lantern child is too stupid, stupid and cute, stupid enough to make people want to purr its head.

【Ancestor of social animals - Good Dragon】
The dragon of "Maoting Keshu" touched the hearts of the founders because of its unique image of social animals.
As a ghost, its daily state is like the majority of 996 migrant workers: obviously nothing, but it is very tired.
Bu Yu is very hard, The Dragon said, and what happened to the ghosts, the ghosts have no labor law?
The dragon protested. The protests were ineffective because ghosts really didn't have labor laws. Therefore, the working dragon body is wandering in the working soul, and if one is unhappy, he will find an opportunity to escape and be lazy, hiding in the human body or in ancient trees and beams.
Although there is no labor law, there is a supervisor, and the overseer is the thunder god with the fierce god evil bgm, and after catching it, it is a thunderclap, without mercy.
Bai Juyi also wrote a poem for this purpose: "The dragon hides in the collar of the cow, and the lightning strikes the dragon to kill the cow." ”
Although many people have been struck by lightning, can you blame the dragon? No! It's just an innocent, occasionally sneaky lazy big boy who works. What is wrong is Thor, and what is wrong is capitalism of all evils.
Touching the fish is reasonable, resting without guilt! The dragon stands up! Proletarian migrant workers unite and vote for the dragon!

【Technology Flow - Scary】
Scary is the traditional skill of ghosts, but most ghosts, the way to scare people is to use stumps to break the arm disgusting people, cookie-cutter, nothing new.
The scary ghost in "Recorded Biography" is a smart ghost with solid basic skills and can come up with new tricks.
"I was really scared to death by him!" Victim Yang Du said.
"That night I was going to take a boat to Yuyao, but a teenager holding a pipa said he wanted to take a ride, so I let him get on the boat, and after he played a few songs, his eyes suddenly fell out and his tongue pulled out. I yelled and he disappeared. After a while, an old man wanted to get on the boat, and I let him get on. I complained to him about the teenager just now, the pipa played well, it was scary. As a result, the old man said that his lute also played well, and then his eyes fell out and his tongue was pulled out, which was just the ghost! I almost fainted! ”
Although I sympathize with Yang Du's plight, it does not prevent me from praising this scary innovation.
Scary ghosts add their own thinking to the scary, creating a fun and excellent fear effect through the structural call back.
A good ghost is not satisfied with tradition, but beyond tradition. Scary ghosts, clever ghosts, talented ghosts.

【Healing Ghost God Og - Bedside Mother-in-law】
The bed god, aka bedhead mother-in-law, is the og representative of the ghost god realm.
The bedside mother-in-law is the folk god of our southern Fujian side, and before the children in the Chaoshan area are fifteen years old, they must put on the food, vegetables and fruits to worship the "mother" every Tanabata, so as to bless them to grow up safely.
It is rumored that she especially cared for children before she died. At that time, there was a prince who always cried incessantly, did not eat or drink, and she was conscripted into the palace, and as a result, she really took care of the prince and stopped crying. The emperor listened to a whim and wanted to see her, but when she heard that the emperor was afraid of collision, she hid under the bed, only to stumble and faint. The emperor deplored her and made her the god of nurturing.
The ending is a bit tragic, but the image of the bedside mother-in-law is a symbol of warmth in folk. If a child suddenly laughs while crying, it may be the bedside mother-in-law teasing him.
Some people also claim to have seen this kind grandmother. At that time, he opened the closet to find clothes, but he ran into the bed god, who gently asked him: "Are you going to school?" He nodded. I walked up the stairs to realize that I had seen the bed god. He was one meter and five tall, with an orange face, but there was no sense of fear in his heart, just like seeing his grandmother.
Such a warm ghost god, who doesn't like it? Chaoshan people support the Chaoshan gods, proper.

【Shuangwen protagonist - saponaria essence】
Question: What is it like to be demolished for no reason?
Soap Pod Tree Monster Answer: Thank you. Man sits in his home, and evil comes from heaven. Has been gassed.

Is it tolerable? The tree is unbearable! So it pushed down the servant and ran out and scolded, "You bastard thing in the evening!" Why let people cut my house! After thinking about it, he was still angry, and frantically threw stones and rubble at Yu Wan's home, causing them to rest badly. It took two years to lose my temper.
Shuangwen protagonist behavior.
When you are disturbed, you will vent, and you don't have to pretend to be generous and tolerant. Complaining with resentment, or harmless revenge, but feel that this little elf is really temperamental.
The emotions of ghosts are more innocent and undisguised, but they are much more amiable than those who are hypocritical.
