When Chen Ge left yesterday, the paint on the simulated human head had not yet dried, so it could only be considered a semi-finished product, so he didn't find it that scary at the time.

Opening the glass door, Chen Ge and the fat boss came to the workbench.

"With this appearance and texture, it would be a waste of your talent for you to open a haunted house." The fat boss followed Chen Ge and picked up the head of a female student on the table. He was a little scared at first, but after getting used to it, he was gradually attracted to the head in his hand.

Lifelike, there seems to be some emotion in the girl's eyes, without any of the dullness and rigidity of a doll.

"The best puppeteer I've ever seen is just like this." The fat boss held the simulated head and looked at the girl's face for more than a minute before looking away.

He seemed to have something to say. After hesitating for a long time, he finally put the girl's head back to its original position and gently touched Chen Ge who was busy: "Brother, I came here so early today. In fact, I have another thing to discuss with you."

brother?

The fat boss suddenly changed his address and his attitude also changed drastically, which made Chen Ge a little uncomfortable.

"If you have any questions, just tell me. I'll try my best to help you." Chen Ge was busy designing the body for the doll, so he spoke directly.

"It's good for both you and me." The fat boss took out a business card from his pocket and handed it to Chen Ge: "Let's keep in touch in the future."

"Qian Guigen?" Chen Ge had no idea what he was up to and why he suddenly became so enthusiastic.

After Chen Ge accepted the business card, Boss Qian said mysteriously, "I used to make puppets for amusement parks and shops, but now technology is so advanced and all kinds of visual projections are so realistic that the demand for puppets has greatly decreased. In order to keep the store going, I have been considering transformation recently, but the model of this industry is already fixed, and it is too difficult to transform."

"It's difficult for any industry to transform. I suggest you do your job and don't lose everything you have." Chen Ge made a student's body out of clay and was wiping the surface of the clay with a wet sponge. He controlled the strength of his fingers just right, and the places rubbed by the sponge looked like real skin, smooth and tight. He didn't care too much about Boss Qian's idea, he just wanted to finish it quickly and transport these dolls back to the haunted house.

"Before I met you, I thought so too. But after I met you, it was like a boat sailing in the fog saw a lighthouse. You pointed me in a direction." Boss Qian surrounded Chen Ge and looked at the twenty-four simulated human heads with different expressions on the workbench. He suddenly said, "I have a bold idea!"

"Move aside, give me the No. 16 carving knife."

"Don't take it lightly! If we can successfully transform, our monthly net profit may be more than your haunted house's annual ticket revenue!" Boss Qian slapped his fat hands on the table and looked at Chen Ge very seriously.

Speaking of money, Chen Ge stopped what he was doing and said, "I'm not the kind of person who loves money. I'm just curious about your transformation ideas."

"Small creative dolls can't be sold at a high price, and the market for large, low-quality dolls is sluggish, so I decided to go the high-end custom route!" Boss Qian carefully held up the head made by Chen Ge: "This is the first time I've seen such a realistic doll. The materials you used are relatively poor. If we replace them with the best materials, can we make a doll that looks almost the same as a real person?"

"Theoretically, there's no problem." Chen Ge didn't tell Boss Qian that as long as he was given enough things, he might even be able to make a real living puppet.

"This is your talent, and it's also the way for us to make money!" Boss Qian took out his phone and randomly searched for some pictures of semi-realistic dolls. "These crudely made adult dolls on the Internet dare to ask for eight or nine thousand. Our specially customized dolls that are one-to-one with real people and have flawless appearances cost at least five figures. I have done relevant research, and this market is huge, and it will not be saturated in the next few years."

"Your idea is indeed very bold." Chen Ge shook his head and continued to work on making the clay model.

"It's a huge profit! At the speed you were making yesterday, you could easily make 20 in three days, which means 200 in a month. There have never been such dolls on the market. The starting price is at least 15,000. Even if we use the most expensive materials, we can still make a profit of 10,000! Two million a month! Why are you still running a haunted house?" Boss Qian didn't expect Chen Ge's reaction to be so cold.

“I will not do anything illegal. Besides, customizing dolls according to the photos and information provided by customers is an infringement on the person in the photo.” Chen Ge knew that the dolls he made were made using the same method as living dolls, which was somewhat dangerous. He did not want to see headlines about dolls killing people in the news in the future.

"Why are you so old-fashioned!" Boss Qian felt heartbroken. "Each of us is an island. Even the most loving couples will quarrel. But dolls are different. In fact, many people choose dolls to accompany them just to find a place to rely on. There are so many pressures in life. No matter who you tell them to, they will get annoyed. Only dolls won't. You customized dolls for them, which didn't hurt anyone. You just helped countless lonely people build a harbor in the middle of the ocean."

"I think if you were selling insurance, you might have your own company by now." Chen Ge lowered his head to make clay models. This world is not as peaceful as it seems. If the puppets he made were sent to various places, things would probably get out of control and he would probably be implicated in the end.

"If you have a bold idea, you should try it! Why don't you make two more dolls today, and I will promote them first. If it doesn't work, then just ignore what I said." Boss Qian already had photos prepared on his phone, and it was obvious that he came prepared.

"Boss Qian, have you ever imagined a scenario like this: when you are sleeping in the same bed with a doll, after you fall asleep, the doll slowly opens its eyes."

"How can a puppet open its eyes?"

"If you don't believe me, you can come to my haunted house and experience it for yourself. The puppets I make are different from ordinary puppets, not just in appearance." Chen Ge didn't elaborate. This fat boss seemed to be a good person, but his ideas were a little avant-garde.

After listening to Chen Ge's words, Boss Qian looked at the simulated human head on the workbench again. He felt a little scared, but he still didn't give up: "When you figure it out, feel free to contact me."

While chatting, Chen Ge had already made the clay model and started to repeat yesterday's steps.

At nine o'clock in the morning, Chen Ge packed all the simulated human heads into three large cardboard boxes, called a taxi, and transported them to New Century Park.

"The puppet's body will be finished tonight, and the Muyang Middle School scene should be ready for use tomorrow."
