"Moderate difficulty? No problem." Chen Ge agreed immediately and prepared to arrange for the staff of Tian Teng Hospital to visit Muyang Middle School. If they can pass it smoothly, he will invite them to enter the third ward.
"Thank you very much." After hanging up the phone, the person in charge of Tian Teng Hospital was still thinking about Chen Ge's goodness. He thought that this person was really nice and a good friend.
Chen Ge was actually quite happy that the staff from Tian Teng Hospital were coming to visit. After the third ward was completed, no tourists had been able to enter, which made Chen Ge feel frustrated that he couldn't share good things with others.
Now, the people from Tian Teng Hospital are coming. They stay in the haunted house all year round to play ghosts, so they must be braver than ordinary tourists. Maybe they can really pass through Muyang Middle School and enter the third ward.
"The puppet stuffing should have solidified by now. I'll bring them back tonight and set them up in Ward 3. I'll also design a few more scares while I'm at it."
Chen Ge decided to apply what he learned from Tian Teng Hospital to the third ward, and then let the staff of Tian Teng Hospital go in to try out the effect.
During lunch time, Chen Ge came to the office building with his design plan.
"Director Luo, I have a plan I want to show you."
In the office, Director Luo was sitting in front of his laptop with a worried look on his face. When he saw Chen Ge coming in, his expression eased a little: "If you need anything, just find Lao Xu. I have asked him to fully cooperate with you."
"He can't make up his mind about this matter." Chen Ge put the document he had written overnight on Director Luo's desk: "I want to build a multi-functional lounge next to the haunted house. From a long-term perspective, this lounge will occupy a large area."
Director Luo looked through the proposal written by Chen Ge. He read it carefully twice and then put the papers down. "The park is short of funds now. It is already a bit difficult to keep all the facilities running normally. If we invest more, I am afraid that the capital chain will be in trouble."
"Mr. Luo, I am confident that this multifunctional building will definitely bring us great profits in the future. The catering can provide tourists with a better resting environment, and the limited special haunted house souvenirs can be regarded as a testimony of their conquest of various scenes in the haunted house, which can further stimulate their desire to explore new scenes."
"I know you are confident that you can do it well, and I believe in your ability, but some things need to be considered from a larger perspective." Director Luo pointed the laptop screen at Chen Ge: "This is the internal video of Dongjiao Virtual Future Park. Please give your opinion after watching it."
Mr. Luo clicked the mouse, and on the screen a giant whale leaped out of the sea, splashing water everywhere.
As the giant whale dives, it begins to enter a bizarre underwater world. Various kinds of fish and water monsters appear around it, and there is even a ghost ship sailing on the seabed.
The video is transformed into a first-person perspective, and the photographer seems to be standing on a ghost ship in the deep sea, close to a thousand-foot trench, passing between erupting submarine volcanoes, and enjoying everything.
"This is an entertainment project in the virtual future park, called Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea. What you are seeing is their upcoming promotional video." Mr. Luo should have his own channels to get the video in advance: "Tell me what you think."
Chen Ge now finally understood why Mr. Luo had been so sad before. He felt shocked just by watching the video, not to mention experiencing it from the perspective of the person who filmed it.
"Our competitors are very strong, but we are not without a chance." Chen Ge grabbed the armrest of the sofa. He would never give up until the last moment.
"Just keep reading." After hearing Chen Ge's answer, Mr. Luo was not angry at all. Instead, his expression became much more relaxed.
The second half of the video shows a futuristic city with tall buildings, flying cars, and various robots keeping the entire city running. Tourists sit in a capsule-like experience car and travel across the city.
"This is another flagship project of the virtual park - the virtual city. Visitors will wear 3D glasses throughout the whole process and experience various projects in the completely virtual city." Mr. Luo turned off the video and looked at Chen Ge: "Isn't it amazing? In fact, a few years ago, I thought that there would be such a day. The third-generation park with various real-life entertainment equipment as the core will one day be replaced by the larger and futuristic fourth-generation park."
"Mr. Luo, what we saw was just a promotional video. The current technology is not enough to reproduce the scenes in the video." Chen Ge objected: "Many games also use very cool promotional videos when they are launched, but after playing them, we find that the game content is very different from the advertisement."
"It doesn't need to be a 100% restoration. As long as they can achieve 30%, countless people will go to experience it." Director Luo stood up and walked to the window. "The New Century Park was built at the beginning of the century. More than ten years have passed since then. It was once glorious, but now it is time for it to end. It is estimated that starting from next week, advertisements for the virtual future park will be seen everywhere in Jiujiang, and even in the province. At that time, our situation will become even more difficult."
"Mr. Luo, how long will it take for the park in the eastern suburbs to open?"
"Less than two months, seven weeks to be exact."
"Time is a bit tight, but we still have a chance. If we hold on to the end, there might be unexpected results." Chen Ge stood up and prepared to leave. The future virtual park was about to start promoting, which made him feel a lot of pressure.
"Don't leave in a hurry. I just have something to inform you. I hope you can be mentally prepared in advance." Director Luo returned to the table and clicked on a report on the computer.
"What's the matter?" Chen Ge was a little surprised and stopped.
"I asked Lao Xu to do an analysis. Thirty-five percent of the visitors who entered the park in the past week went there for your haunted house, and this number is still increasing." Director Luo did not hide anything from Chen Ge: "Now your haunted house has become the signature of the park. This reminds me of when your parents first came to New Century Park."
"It's mainly because everyone takes care of me."
"You don't have to be modest. This is your ability." Director Luo looked at the data analysis on the computer and said, "Your haunted house is now the key to attracting tourists to the park. Many people buy tickets to the park just to visit your haunted house. I believe there are still many tourists who want to visit your haunted house, but the 260 yuan park ticket price will stop their impulse. After all, they just come to play in the haunted house and are not interested in other entertainment facilities."
Chen Ge listened quietly. He realized that Mr. Luo might say something very important.
"Compared with the virtual Future Park, we have no competitiveness and can only attract people by lowering ticket prices. We originally planned to implement it in two months, but considering the current situation of your haunted house, we decided to start early." Mr. Luo was very decisive: "The park ticket price will be lowered, and your haunted house ticket price can be increased accordingly. The specific ticket price changes are still under discussion. Today I just want to give you a heads-up."
