"I don't know why the comedy we shot broke the record of horror films, but we did aim to make a comedy in the beginning." Chen Ge smiled bitterly. This was an unexpected success. The most important thing was that the original author became a ghost. He was also very satisfied with Chang Gu's work and thought that Chang Gu had captured the core of comedy.
The original author is satisfied, the director is satisfied, the audience is satisfied, the film and television company is satisfied, everyone is satisfied. Although Chen Ge feels weird, he slowly chooses to accept it: "Mr. Luo, this is just a high-quality concept film. If your friend wants to cooperate with us in depth, we can have a good talk."
"That's exactly what he meant. I'll give you the contact information later and you can chat on your own."
"OK."
"We seized this opportunity. The success of the film is a great publicity for us. If the subsequent web series can maintain this popularity, it will be better than any advertising."
Mr. Luo hung up the phone, and at this time, the legend about this comedy-horror film continued on the Internet.
Chen Ge initially wanted to use the popularity of the horror house to boost the online drama and try to trick one or two companies into negotiating cooperation. However, he did not expect that after only a few hours, the popularity attracted by the film would start to benefit the horror house.
Many people who have never played haunted houses or horror games have also become interested in horror houses. After all, a haunted house that can produce comedies is rare in the world.
The comedy produced by the horror house has even gradually become a meme on the Internet, and the "goofs" in it have been regarded as classics and included in horror film teaching materials.
The unintentional thriller and the feeling of getting more scared the more you think about it make viewers unable to sleep all night, and more and more people begin to discuss this comedy.
The writer's work is very hardcore, with all the clues and psychological changes described very well. Chang Gu's filming is also exceptionally perfect. The nightmare world and reality run simultaneously, and all kinds of images and metaphors can lead to countless ways of interpretation.
Overall, this online comedy produced by the horror house became a huge hit, and countless people began to look forward to the subsequent plot.
After staying up all night, Chen Ge was still very energetic. He and Chang Gu watched videos on various video websites in turn. The data on all platforms continued to soar.
The haunted house employees are also very excited. Although they don’t fully understand how popular this short film is, they will be happy just to see themselves appear in the video.
The employees chattered non-stop, and Chen Ge was terrified as he listened to them. Many employees joined in the fun during the filming. They appeared in various ways, and there was nothing they couldn't do, such as a face hidden in the tea, a small shadow under the desk, a severed hand floating behind the door, etc.
These details are invisible unless you look carefully. As the popularity on the Internet grew, Chen Ge, in order to avoid a fallout, openly admitted it on his social media platform. He said that he had hidden a hundred Easter eggs in the short film, to see if any audience could find them all.
The popularity is too high, so he simply stops pretending and tells the audience directly - all the terrifying shots you see are Easter eggs deliberately created by the haunted house.
What he said attracted a large number of audiences.
"This fire happened so suddenly, I'm not prepared at all."
Chen Ge looked at the skyrocketing number of messages in the background. Some people were planning to form a group to go to the web drama filming location to clock in, and some were planning to enter a haunted house for the first time tomorrow, just to meet the male lead. There was even a management company with an extremely keen sense of smell that left a message for Chen Ge, saying that they wanted to sign Bi.Xian as an artist.
There were too many messages for Chen Ge to reply to. He looked at the already dim sky and put away his phone: "Another all-nighter."
After sleeping for a while, Chen Ge got up quickly and prepared to open the business.
Xu Wan and Xiao Gu came early today. As soon as they saw Chen Ge, they rushed over. Xiao Gu, in particular, stuttered as he spoke on the phone: "Boss! Is this movie really made by us? When I saw it last night, I was stunned."
“We did take the photo.”
"When did you take this photo? It's amazing!"
"What do you think I do every night when I'm not sleeping? I put a lot of energy and spent a lot of time shooting this film. Fortunately, judging from the results, all the efforts are worth it." Chen Ge stopped answering Xiao Gu's questions and waved his hand for them to put on makeup quickly and prepare to welcome today's tourists.
At nine o'clock in the morning, the New Century Park opened and tourists flocked in. While they were waiting in line, the comedy in the horror house became the focus of discussion. Even two groups of people who didn't know each other at all could chat enthusiastically.
"There are more tourists today than in the past few days. What's going on?" Uncle Xu was worried that something might go wrong, so he quickly found Chen Ge.
"Uncle, don't you usually go online? We have put up another ad, and the effect is quite good." Chen Ge was helping to sell tickets outside, and he felt happy from the bottom of his heart as he watched the tourists coming and going.
However, he was not carried away by joy. While selling tickets outside, he was also keeping an eye on those who wanted to disrupt the event.
The number of people visiting the four-star scene, the Psychic Ghost School, has increased several times today. This scene can accommodate up to 20 people at the same time, and it is almost always full, which caught Chen Ge's attention.
Many of the tourists attracted by the online drama are visiting a haunted house for the first time and need to start the challenge from a one-star scene, while those who challenge the psychic ghost school scene are mostly veterans.
Originally, this was nothing, but Chen Ge discovered that there was a group of people who bought tickets repeatedly. They kept challenging the Psychic Ghost School, as if they were going against this scene.
After paying a heavy price in terms of spirit, money and body, this large group of people have explored the Psychic Ghost School thoroughly. Of course, they are still far from completing it.
In order to protect the tourists, Chen Ge took out the most difficult tasks from the lottery box, such as finding all thirteen oil paintings, looking for the president of the Red Society, and finding out the secret of the disappearance of the old principal. These tasks were specially prepared for those who wanted to mess up the place, and ordinary tourists would hardly draw these "fatal" tasks.
This group of people drew simple and medium-difficulty tasks, but just this alone pushed their spirits to the limit. After the last person fainted, a special person among the tourists took them away.
It was obvious that a team was trying to conquer Chen Ge's haunted house, but they greatly underestimated the difficulty of Chen Ge's haunted house.
After the group of people who kept challenging the psychic ghost school left, another group came in the afternoon. They seemed to share information with each other. The maps and locations of scare points that the predecessors had exchanged for their "lives" provided great help to the latter.
These unusual tourists also attracted the attention of the haunted house staff, and Lao Zhou even came to ask Chen Ge whether he wanted to increase the difficulty.
Chen Ge directly rejected Lao Zhou's proposal. He taught Lao Zhou that a game would only be attractive if there was a possibility of completing it.
In fact, what he wanted in his mind was to make that group of people as careless as possible, so that the ghost fetus scene would be useful.
The horror house opens at nine in the morning and closes at six in the evening. The Psychic Ghost School is always packed. Although the group of people failed to complete the exploration after their desperate efforts, they seemed to have completely drawn a map of the east and west campuses of the Psychic Ghost School.
As long as they have the map in hand and know the location of the scare points, and as long as they are not too unlucky to get a mission involving hidden scenes, it will only be a matter of time before they pass the next level.
It was dark, and after the tourists left, Chen Ge sat on the steps at the entrance of the horror house.
"The popularity of the comedy filmed in the horror house is still rising, and this is just a pilot concept film. If online dramas are continuously launched in the future, not only the comedy filmed in the horror house, but also the New Century Park where the horror house is located will become famous. Ma Feng may have a sense of crisis, so he is eager to complete my haunted house and suppress my momentum." Chen Ge looked at the income on the account, and the corners of his mouth began to rise unconsciously.
Twenty visitors can enter the Psychic Ghost School at a time, and each session lasts about forty minutes. However, most of the time, few visitors can last the full forty minutes, which means that the average session lasts about thirty minutes.
The ticket price is 40 yuan, and Chen Ge can earn 800 yuan per show. Today, there are 12 shows at the Psychic Ghost School alone.
Normally, few people would challenge a four-star scene like this. It takes a long time just to get enough people together. The low-star scenes are the ones that make the most money. These high-star scenes are prepared for high-level players. Compared to making money, they are more of a symbol.
“I hope these guys can come again tomorrow.”
After a quick cleanup, Chen Ge put on his backpack and came to the puppet workshop. After paying the boss a portion of the money in advance, he directly drove the boss out.
After locking the door, Chen Ge called out the evil ghost employees and asked them to help make the plastic black fog monster.
After working until the early morning, Chen Ge asked Tang Jun to drive the No. 104 hearse to transport all the prepared black fog monsters back to the horror house.
Chang Gu had a new idea and was preparing to shoot a new short drama, while Chen Ge and some employees who had nothing to do started to set up the ghost fetus scene.
After checking several times, Chen Ge came out at four o'clock in the morning after confirming that there were no hidden dangers.
"The ghost fetus scene is now open to the public at any time. I wonder which tourists will be the lucky ones."
睡了三个多小时，陈歌被闹钟吵醒，他看着慢慢升起的太阳，舒服的伸了个懒腰。
“如果能一直过这样的生活就好了。”
冲了个凉水澡，陈歌换好衣服打开鬼屋防护栏。
九点钟乐园准时开业，游客入园，熟悉的喧闹声在耳边响起。
恐怖屋门口排起了长队，还有一些老玩家跑进休息厅占位置，激烈讨论着自己研究出来的最新攻略。
从陈歌获得黑色手机到现在，恐怖屋不知不觉已经陪伴了游客们很久，越来越多的人喜欢这里，这里也给他们留下了各种各样值得回味的记忆。
生活大体上是平淡的，但在陈歌的恐怖屋里，他们体验到了另外一种人生。
一批批游客进入鬼屋场景，但让陈歌有些意外的是今天竟然没有人再去组团挑战通灵鬼校，他正疑惑那帮人是不是放弃的时候，休息厅里突然传出了一声声惊叫。
“发生什么事了？”陈歌主动走了过去，很多老玩家都认识他，看见他进来直接让出了一条路。
“陈老板！你快看咱们鬼屋的APP，有人发帖要通关咱们鬼屋最难场景，就是热度最高的那个帖子！”一个含江法医学院的学生跑了过来，他拿着手机，向陈歌展示。
鬼屋APP里确实多了一个热门贴，无数水军在下面留言，让这个帖子一直保持在第一。
帖子本身的内容也很劲爆，首先他们承认陈歌的鬼屋很吓人，但并没有那么夸张，他们说绝大多数游客都是被误导的。
这帖子一开篇就是标准的杠精语录，恐怖屋很吓人，可并没有吓到他们，虽然他们没有去过，但他们就是这么感觉的。
帖子里有一大堆鬼屋同行顶贴，他们从各个角度分析陈歌的鬼屋，总之最后得出了一个结论——陈歌的鬼屋名不副实，两分的实力，八分的炒作。
陈歌鬼屋爆火，那就是对他们这些认认真真经营鬼屋的人不公平，今天他们就要合力向公众揭穿陈歌和恐怖屋的虚伪。
整个帖子写的跟檄文一样，看得人热血沸腾，不过仔细想想，他们这里面大部分人根本没有参观过恐怖屋，是怎么得出的结论？凭借高超的想象力吗？
这帖子除了在鬼屋APP上，还在各大平台同一时间出现，一大堆水军在顶贴，维持热度。
有意思的是这些平台和论坛都是恐怖屋游客比较活跃的地方，他们的帖子一发布出来就遭到了各种冷嘲热讽，毕竟上一个这么说的人现在还在医院里。
不过对方显然是计划好的，他们根本不在乎那些粉丝的嘲讽，似乎是憋着一股气就准备等着反杀打脸。
他们做好了万全的准备，所以才敢在恐怖屋游客最活跃的地方发这样的帖子，他们就是想让所有喜欢恐怖屋的人看到，然后当着所有人的面通关恐怖屋最困难的场景。
这样一来，既赢了面子，又赢了里子，扬眉吐气，还破了陈歌鬼屋无人通关的传说。
看到这些布局，陈歌脑海里立刻浮现出了“马峰”两个字，这人行事风格和江九不同，果断狠辣，筹码上了牌桌，抓住机会就一次决胜负。
“为了这一天，他应该准备了很久。”陈歌刚看完帖子，恐怖屋外面就又出了状况。
九个游客堵在门口，他们也不排队，嚷嚷着想要见陈歌。
这九个游客，有男有女，打扮、口音各不相同，好像来自全国不同的地方，不过其中有两个人陈歌倒是见过。
一个叫上官轻鸿，是新海最恐怖那家鬼屋的老板；另一个是秦广，最开始在直播平台跟陈歌竞争的主播。
看到他俩人，陈歌还感觉挺亲切的，他走出休息厅直接迎了过去。
“两位好久不见啊，我这边比较忙，一直没时间去医院看你们。”
光是听到陈歌的声音，秦广就恨的牙痒，他正要回话却被旁边的上官轻鸿拦住。
“陈老板客气了，我们今天过来是想要参观一下你的鬼屋。”上官轻鸿知道陈歌那张嘴有多损，所以他尽量不给陈歌开口说话的机会：“我身边的这几位都是国内最顶尖鬼屋的设计者和创办者，我们都对你的鬼屋很好奇，想要看看到底是什么鬼屋能够被称为全国最恐怖的鬼屋。”
“全国最恐怖鬼屋我可不敢当，不过同行相互交流这是好事。”陈歌用的词是相互交流，他已经记住了这几位游客的长相：“你们想要挑战没关系，但我这鬼屋有个规矩，所有游客都要先从一星场景开始挑战，通关之后才能去挑战二星场景，你们想要挑战最高难度的四星场景，就要先通关前面几个场景才行。”
“挑战？真给你脸了，把参观说成挑战，我都不知道你哪来的自信。”一个打扮时尚的年轻男人瞥了陈歌一眼：“我们几个可没时间陪你玩。”
“我定的这个规则是为了游客好，一点点加深恐惧，可以最大限度防止意外发生。”陈歌苦口婆心的在“劝阻”，但这劝阻在上官轻鸿他们看来就是拖延时间，说明陈歌没有底气。
“不用，我们今天过来就是为了参观一下你这里最困难的场景，看看在网上那么火的鬼屋到底有什么出彩的地方。”这次说话的是一个戴着墨镜的男人。
鬼屋门口聚集的游客越来越多，很多看热闹的人都拿出了手机拍摄。
听到墨镜男的话，陈歌面露难色：“这不合规矩……”
“规矩是人定的，我们大老远过来可不是为了参观一星场景，大家都是资深从业者，你也别想拿你忽悠游客的那一套来忽悠我们。”墨镜男有些不耐烦了，他似乎很怕热，太阳晒得的他很不舒服。
“陈老板，你一直找借口拖延是不是因为自己心里没底啊？”打扮很时尚的男人笑了笑：“放心，我们会给你留点面子的。”
话都说到这份上了，陈歌再拒绝就有些不合适了，他朝四周看了看，发现很多游客都在拍摄。
其中一部分是真的看热闹的游客，还有一部分可能是虚拟未来乐园的人，因为陈歌发现手机APP和各大平台上都有现场视频的更新，而且留言对恐怖屋不利，似乎有人在故意引导话题。
“既然你们非要挑战我这里最困难的场景，那我也没办法。”陈歌面对那些手机镜头：“大家可要给我作证，我已经劝过他们了，是他们非要直接挑战最难场景的。”
“你废话真多，到底让不让我们进去？玩你的鬼屋，还要听你卖惨？真是可笑！”开口说话的是一个暴脾气女人，她手臂上纹着一个黑色骷髅纹身，看着感觉很不好惹。
“我是真的为你们好。”陈歌站在那九人面前：“最后我再跟你们确定一下，你们真的要挑战我鬼屋里最困难的场景？”
“确定！别墨迹了！”九个游客都在催促，他们看起来比陈歌还要着急。
“好的！”陈歌点头同意下来，他语气猛地发生了变化，冲着所有手机摄像头喊道：“大家都是鬼屋从业者，光这么玩鬼屋没意思，不如来个赌注？如果你们成功通关了我这里最困难的场景，我会在我的所有社交账号，还有实体鬼屋门面上挂横幅，说自己的鬼屋不如你们几家的鬼屋恐怖吓人，承认自己是炒作。”
陈歌的鬼屋热度极高，那几名鬼屋从业者都有些动心，反倒是上官轻鸿感觉有些不妙，可他还没说话，那几个人就抢先答应了下来。
“别急着答应，如果你们输了，也要在自己的实体门面上挂上恐怖屋的名字，老老实实承认恐怖屋的厉害。”陈歌笑眯眯的看着面前的几个人。
那几人相互交流了一下，他们掌握有通灵鬼校的地图和所有惊吓点的位置，还足足观看了一整天的通灵鬼校偷拍视频，已经习惯了那种恐怖感，在他们看来，自己通关一点问题都没有。
“我们同意，这非常公平。”
“几位都是一线城市的业内资深大咖，我相信你们不会赖账。”陈歌嘴角上扬，当着所有手机镜头的面，直接开口喊道：“跟我进来吧，接下来你们要挑战的是四星场景——冥胎！在黑雾的最深处，有九个孩子在等着你们。”
“冥胎？”
上官轻鸿和队伍里的某个人对视了一眼，他们确定自己的耳朵没有听错。
