This was obviously the room where the secret room would go later. Lu Ban took a casual look and found several mechanisms. One of them was a doll in a red wedding dress that fell from the top of the bed, and the other was a mirror that was actually formed by glass and light. When the lighting changed, the mirror would become transparent, revealing the face behind it.
These two mechanisms are scary enough.
Lu Ban took a look and saw the woman standing in the corner, seemingly muttering something.
"Ma'am, if you have anything to say, you can talk to me."
Lu Ban spoke in a patient and persuasive manner, like a psychologist.
The woman looked at Lu Ban with eyes full of resentment.
At this time, the door of the room was opened, and the NPC dressed in women's wedding dress walked into the room.
He saw Lu Ban in the room at a glance.
“What the hell!!!”
He was startled and took a few looks before he recognized that it was the guest. He was still wondering how this guest got here when he realized what Lu Ban was saying.
"It's okay, I won't hurt you, you can trust me, just tell me if you have anything to say, if I can help you, I will definitely help you..."
He seemed to be talking to the air next to him, as if, as if there was a person standing there!!!
The NPC originally thought that there was someone standing in the dark, but when he wiped his eyes and looked carefully, he realized that there was no one there!
"???"
As we all know, the NPC in the secret room must know how many companions are in the room.
So when there's suddenly one more person here... the problem becomes serious.
"Oh, I see."
Lu Ban nodded and looked at the NPC boy.
"This girl has been here for a long time. She saw that you were very tired dressing up as a bride every day, so she wanted to cheer you up. Then she also said..."
Lu Ban listened for a moment before continuing.
"…She said that she died of illness, not hanging. You are mistaken."
Upon hearing Lu Ban's words, the NPC's expression froze.
"My dear guest, please stop joking."
He also tried to think that Lu Ban was joking.
At this moment, a colleague's voice suddenly came from the intercom used to communicate with the control room.
"Hey, Xiao Xu, is that a guest next to you? Why is there a woman in red standing there?"
Upon hearing this, the NPC guy looked around.
There's nothing there.
“No, no…”
His voice began to tremble.
"Don't worry, she means no harm to you."
Lu Ban also followed suit to persuade.
The NPC guy glanced around again and saw the place where Lu Ban was looking at.
There's really nothing there.
But a chill ran up his spine.
The NPC guy's legs went weak and he collapsed.
…
"What? These NPCs are just lame. They can't even run around like that."
Outside the secret room, Qin Tiantian patted his chest and said proudly.
"So, you are brave?"
Lu Ban asked.
"Nonsense, I'm super brave, okay."
Qin Tiantian answered without hesitation.
"Then if you are so brave, why don't you just walk by yourself?"
Lu Ban glanced at Qin Tiantian, who was barely able to move with the help of her support. Her legs were still shaking and she couldn't stop at all.
"It's been too long. My legs are numb."
Qin Tiantian forced a smile.
After finding a seat to sit down, Lu Ban bought two cups of ice cream. It is said that eating something sweet to replenish sugar after being frightened can help relieve symptoms.
After handing the ice cream to Qin Tiantian, Lu Ban took a bite himself. It was icy and tasted delicious.
It's September now and Jiangcheng is still very hot. Qin Tiantian is wearing a T-shirt, shorts and sneakers, which is very casual, but he still attracted some attention.
She took the ice cream and pointed to the other side of the mall.
"I just saw a teddy bear walk by. It must be hard work in such a hot day."
Lu Ban looked in the direction her finger pointed, but saw nothing. He only saw some children holding balloons. Probably, it was a staff member in doll costumes selling balloons.
"Why did you suddenly think of playing in the escape room? I feel that the places you went to before are much scarier than the escape room."
Qin Tiantian ate his ice cream contentedly and asked casually.
“I’m going to make something similar.”
Lu Ban spoke the truth.
"Looking for material, are you going to make a movie about a locked room?"
Qin Tiantian saw the grilled squid skewers being sold in the distance, sizzling with oil and emitting a fragrant aroma, and he was so greedy that his mouth was watering.
"No, I want to make one. It's called a large-scale immersive real-life game."
Lu Ban corrected.
"ah?"
Qin Tiantian realized it later and she looked at Lu Ban.
"You are such an awesome director, and you come here to build a secret room? Are you crazy?"
She speaks her mind.
Lu Ban is now among the top five in the world in terms of box office, and has won a grand slam at the three major film festivals. In the entertainment industry, this is already a complete success. With such a great experience, why would he choose to create such a petty escape room?
This is just like when the hexagonal warrior in table tennis won two Grand Slams and suddenly announced that he wanted to play e-sports and restore the glory of the all-Chinese team. It's outrageous.
“There is no distinction between high and low forms, as long as they are suitable for expression.”
Lu Ban replied.
Movies and novels are actually the art of expression. The same story can be presented completely differently using words, pictures, or dynamic effects.
Some stories are suitable for novels, and words can lead people's imagination without limit.
Some stories are suitable for movies, and only strong visual impact can shock people.
There must be some stories that are suitable for this kind of puzzle game.
The main reason is that Lu Ban feels that if presented in a simple movie, the storyline of Stone and Liz is difficult to integrate with the normal mystery storyline. If the two are carried out in parallel, the audience will quickly lose the sense of suspense, and when it is piled up at the end, it seems that the foreshadowing is not enough and it seems hasty.
But if it is presented in the form of a role-playing game with a strong sense of immersion, then the audience, or the players, will be able to experience the feelings of these characters and feel the atmosphere of the abandoned city, and the effect will definitely be very good.
"Where are you going to do it? The rent here is pretty expensive, right? This place has three floors, and it's probably going to cost hundreds of thousands a month... Well, if you're not short of money, then it's fine."
Qin Tiantian suddenly remembered that the guy sitting next to him was a damn rich man.
"Not only that, I plan to find an abandoned town and transform the entire town into a scene."
Lu Ban said simply.
Although it is not necessary to replicate the entire abandoned city, at least most of the scenes must be restored so that there is a sense of immersion.
Moreover, Lu Ban thought that this might be an opportunity.
Look at the development trajectories of the strongest legal departments in the Western Hemisphere. When you have enough IPs, it is not impossible to build a large amusement park.
"ah???"
When Qin Tiantian heard Lu Ban’s words, he felt like his pig brain was about to overload.
