A vibrant, nighttime urban scene featuring a retro cinema with a neon sign reading 'PANTAGES'. The theater's marquee lists the names Zhang Yimou and Steven Spielberg. Bright streetlights illuminate the area, and groups of people walk along the bustling street, creating a lively atmosphere. Palm trees and Art Deco architecture enhance the scene's classic Hollywood vibe.
