Loxin Amusement Park
"Your data hasn't improved for three consecutive periods. If this amusement park idea doesn't make a splash, the entire team will be fired!"
Xia Jialian held the phone farther away with an expressionless face. The noisy voice from the other end still penetrated his ears like sharp thorns. He could almost imagine the other person's expression with saliva flying.
He put his phone on speakerphone and placed it in front of everyone.
"We pay you a salary every month, but you produce such useless things. Do you think the company can support you for nothing?"
"I'm talking to you, do you hear me?"
There was no response from the other end of the phone, and he seemed even angrier, like a noise maker.
"I understand." Xia Jialian tried her best to keep her tone calm, and then hung up the phone before any more curse words came out.
Gao Wenwen twitched his lips. "What's going on? Why do you come here and start scolding me?"
This was the first time I was yelled at before doing anything after entering the dungeon.
"Hello, please move aside, thank you." There were people next to me who wanted to take a photo, and they were blocking the view a little.
Ding Can moved a few steps away and noticed a cute animal sculpture behind him. He should check in and take a photo here.
The weather was just right, and the sunlight was already warm just after nine in the morning.
The place where several people were located was a small square inside the amusement park. After checking their tickets and entering the park, this was the first place they arrived at.
I don’t know if it’s because it’s too early or the amusement park just has so few people, but everyone who comes in is strolling around leisurely, with no one jogging to queue up for the rides.
Everyone has a general understanding of the current situation. They are employees of a media company responsible for the local tourism sector.
We are currently experiencing a tourism boom, and many cities across the country have become popular. Many people have visited these cities due to their fame, which has boosted the development of local tourism.
The leader wanted to take advantage of this favorable situation and develop a special section for local travel guides.
If a product becomes a hit with sales of hundreds of thousands or millions, the official account will gain popularity and will also be helpful to the company's other businesses.
Four new employees were specially recruited for this project.
Unfortunately, things did not go as planned. The previous store exploration articles written by these interns, which imitated other cities and tried to promote local special snacks, did not have any effect.
The amount of funding applied for was considerable, but the number of clicks was extremely low. Even though it was just a meager salary for the internship period, the leader still felt it was a waste of money.
This time, when I saw the topic they submitted, I also issued an ultimatum.
If the data remains the same as before, there is no way they can pass the trial period and they can just pack up and leave.
"Is there anything special about this amusement park? If you want to stand out, you should go to a more unique place that will make you stand out."
Shi Yan looked into the distance and saw that the amusement park didn't cover a very large area. Compared with the ones she had visited before, it didn't seem to be anything special.
"Look guys and beautiful girls, today is the 23rd anniversary celebration of our Loxin Amusement Park. There are different special events at different times. Participate and you will have a chance to win prizes."
An amusement park staff member wearing an orange baseball cap and a T-shirt came over and stuffed a few flyers into their hands. They were colorful and looked quite festive.
"It's the 23rd anniversary..."
The sun was a bit too bright now, and Gao Wenwen felt it was a bit dazzling when he looked at the flyer, so he walked to the shade of a nearby tree to read it.
The flyer also has an introduction to the amusement park, which was built 23 years ago.
Generally speaking, major celebrations take place at time points such as five or ten years.
But we attach more importance to the 23rd anniversary. This special year was chosen because the amusement park was founded by the first director when he was 23 years old.
So apart from celebrating the fact that the amusement park is still open today, it is more for the director.
To this end, in addition to the normal operation of facilities, the park has set up many small activities today, and the schedule is packed with a long list.
"After so many years, the facilities inside must have become old."
Shi Yan has very good eyesight and saw that some equipment that was close by did have obvious signs of wear on the surface.
Once the amusement park facilities are installed, they must be maintained regularly, but this cannot prevent the normal aging of the equipment.
And if you want to replace the equipment, it is actually very difficult.
I guess at most there are only some people who used to come here often when they were young and reminiscing about the past. So it seems that the fact that there are so many people in the amusement park today is probably related to the anniversary celebration.
After all, the current trend is that large-scale immersive theme parks based on popular IPs are actually more likely to be loved by people of all ages.
On the contrary, this relatively traditional amusement park has no visitors and is even at risk of being forced to close early on.
The fact that Nuoxin Amusement Park has been able to survive until now probably means that it has a certain degree of competitiveness.
In short, it seems that this time they will continue to film and record the contents inside the amusement park.
Each of them brought simple handheld filming equipment and a script prepared in advance for reference during the process.
Ding Can rearranged the A4 papers in his hand into order and understood the original plan.
"Its starting point is to evoke the childhood memories of young people in this city."
The group of children twenty years ago are the young people who have just entered society today. Most of them should have had the experience of visiting Noxin Amusement Park.
When people grow up, they have to work hard to make a living. Whenever they are under great pressure and encounter setbacks, they will inevitably think of the carefree days of their childhood.
The original idea was to use this gimmick to attract people in the city first, and then once it became popular, it would have a better readership through social networks.
I have also downloaded a lot of old photos from more than ten years ago onto the tablet, which I collected from netizens on the Internet. When I prepare to publish an article, I will add more comparison photos to better prove the changes of the times.
Xia Jialian read the script thoroughly and said, "No wonder the data always ranks last."
There is no originality at all. Even if we shoot from morning to night, we probably won’t be able to edit anything outstanding. It’s time to pack up and leave.
Ding Can looked towards the entrance of the amusement park. Because he hadn't been looking there before, he didn't notice the special decorations.
The ticket gate is surrounded by balloons and bouquets, and children entering the park will be given a very beautiful bracelet.
In just a short while, people started queuing up.
"Let's go inside first. There should be more people here soon."
Gao Wenwen turned on the camera, adjusted the parameters, and felt that the picture looked much better than before: "So should we follow the script, or do it ourselves?"
"Let me see..." Ding Can glanced at the anniversary celebration schedule, which also included a map of the amusement park and the tour route. "The first puppet interaction is at 9:30. I guess we should go to the bungee jumping first, so it should be around the same time."
The puppet interaction was held on the lawn near the bungee jumping machine, with just a time difference.
After making this decision, they set off and chose the nearest path.
The park does not prohibit outside vendors. After passing the security check, as long as they are not carrying any dangerous items, they can bring in goods.
However, they cannot affect pedestrians on the main road, so there are many stalls on both sides of these narrow paths, which makes it look more lively than outside.
There was one face painting stall in particular, with a row of children sitting on small benches in front.
The stall owner had a palette of brightly colored paints in his hand, and with just a few strokes he could create cute and beautiful patterns on the children's faces.
On the photo wall behind her, there are many Polaroid photos of previous customers, all in different styles.
"Hello, you can come and try it. I can also do adult painting at home."
The stall owner is a very young girl with rainbow hairbands tied on her twin ponytails, which makes her look very attractive to children.
Shi Yan wasn't very interested in these things and waved her hand to refuse: "No, we have other things to do."
Even after being rejected, the girl remained calm and said, "Okay, if you're interested, you can come back. The paints I use for my paintings are all harmless, and you'll definitely get a lot of attention when you walk down the street."
Ding Can walked out a few steps, turned her head and took another look, and found that the stall owner was still looking at her, with the corners of his mouth raised and smiling kindly.
She blinked, then turned around and followed Xia Jialian and the others.
Next to the bungee jumping machine, the iron railings that have been set up for queuing for many years have a thin layer of rust on them, and in some places even the iron sheets are rolled up and exposed.
Gao Wenwen glanced at the number of people in front of him and thought that once this group of people came down, they would be able to catch up.
He held the camera steadily in his hand, diligently recording the scene in front of him. After a brief pause, the bungee jumping machine suddenly rose up at high speed, and a violent scream immediately broke out in the air.
It sounds like an adrenaline rush.
Xia Jialian rubbed his ears, feeling unaccustomed to such sharp sounds. He had rarely been to the amusement park since he was a child.
There are too many people here, and you can hear tourists shouting everywhere.
When I don't wear hearing aids, it sounds like a continuous buzzing sound, but when I wear hearing aids, the amplified sound sounds like high-frequency noise, which is completely unacceptable.
In short, I feel uncomfortable no matter where I am.
"Can you go up later?" Ding Can saw his actions.
Xia Jialian shook her head: "It's okay, I'll just take off my hearing aid before starting it later."
The sound is not what he is most worried about now. He is afraid that when they go up later, the equipment may encounter other problems.
The time it takes for a bungee jumping machine to run is very short, and if something really happens, you won’t have time to react.
The guide opened the small door and said, "Please put your belongings in the small cabinet next to you."
Put down the backpack and put the equipment on your wrist with the arm strap, and shooting can still be carried out normally.
The bungee jumping machine is divided into four sides, each with four seats, just enough for several people to sit on.
"Sister Can, can you help me check if this is all that's needed?" After tightening the buckle, Gao Wenwen asked for help from the people around him.
I still feel it's loose and not safe at all. What's going on?
Ding Can helped him check the seat belt: "Yeah, it's okay."
After a few beeps, the device starts up with a reminder tone.
It was Gao Wenwen's first time riding a bungee jumping machine, and he was a little excited. His heart beat faster when he heard the sound.
He thought about taking a few deep breaths to adjust himself, but before he could finish breathing, his body suddenly stopped and he was lifted off the ground.
