The taxi stopped at the park entrance. Chen Ge called Xu Wan, and they worked together to move the box into the Haunted House.
"Boss, what's in it? It's so heavy. "
"A simulated human head." Chen Ge did not explain. "Don't open it to take a peek, it might scare you."
"Okay, got it."
After putting the box away, Chen Ge had Xu Wan go to the dressing room to touch up her make-up while he left the Haunted House to sell the tickets.
"Mu Yang High School will open tomorrow, so I need to solve the manpower problem. If I really can't find anyone, I can ask Director Luo to borrow a park worker to sell tickets at the entrance."
After pulling open the gate, before Chen Ge could walk out, a man in his thirties walked up to him. "Mr. Chen? I've finally found you. "
Chen Ge was rarely called that. He glanced at the man. The man was wearing a casual suit and carrying a black suitcase. He had short hair, a bright smile, and very white teeth.
"You're looking for me?"
"I've never missed a single livestream of yours. It's so interesting." The man started to compliment him. Chen Ge knew how good his livestream was. Even though the content was novel, due to the limitations of the equipment, the livestream experience was not that good.
"You're flattering me." Chen Ge did not understand the man's intention. "You're my fan?"
"I'm your hardcore fan. I've been following you since your first video hit the trending list at midnight. After that, Qin Guang plagiarized your livestream content. When he started his livestream, I was the one who uploaded your video on Tieba, telling everyone that Qin Guang was actually plagiarizing. " The man said that he was Chen Ge's hardcore fan, but he appeared very calm. The smile on his face was a professional one, and it did not look like he was excited.
"Thank you." Chen Ge did not fully believe him, but he felt like the man was not a bad person. At least, he could tell right from wrong. "We're all fans. Since you're here to visit, I'll give you a fifty percent discount."
"I won't disturb your business any longer. Let the friends behind me go in first." He let the visitors behind him enter the Haunted House experience first, and during the free time in the middle, he found Chen Ge. "I heard that last time the people from Qin Guang's studio came to cause you trouble, you taught them a good lesson?"
"These are all rumors. The people from Qin Guang's studio have no bottom line. They purposely sent two mental patients to my Haunted House to pretend to be unconscious. After they framed me, they even pretended to be the victim. How shameless!" Chen Ge said through gritted teeth.
The man next to him had a strange expression on his face when he heard that, and he forced a smile. "I also think they're trying to frame you. It's just a Haunted House visit. How could you be so scared that you would end up in the hospital? You even lost your mind for several days. These people don't even know how to find an excuse."
"You were so scared that you were hospitalized?"
"Yes, they even threatened to take revenge on you and planned to block all your recommendation channels, but they were stopped by another studio." The man looked at Chen Ge with a smile like a fox wagging its tail. "After all, the platform belongs to everyone, not just Qin Guang alone."
At this point, Chen Ge understood everything. This man before him should be the representative from the other studio. It looked like they had a grudge against Qin Guang's studio, or else they would not have gone to Tieba to report him for plagiarism when the platform's resources were tilted toward Qin Guang.
A platform's traffic and channels were limited. If Qin Guang made it big, it would steal away the popularity that belonged to them. For livestreams and short videos, the loss of users was a slow suicide.
"You're here to discuss cooperation, right? How should I address you? "Chen Ge looked at the black suitcase in the man's hand and imagined it was stuffed with money.
"Actually, I'm also a livestream host. You can call me Liu Dao."
"Liu Dao?" Chen Ge nodded. "Then how do you plan to cooperate?"
"Recently, livestreams related to ghost hunting have been very popular. Of course, we want a share, but unfortunately, our studio can't find a suitable candidate. Even if we force someone to do it, the popularity won't be as high as Qin Guang's. To be honest, even though Qin Guang's character isn't that great, his livestream style is very interesting, and he's a very charismatic person. "
"So, you guys found me? I don't think a commoner like me has more charisma than Qin Guang. "
"You're wrong. I've seen your livestream. Perhaps you haven't realized it, but your livestream is different from others." Liu Dao stopped smiling and thought about it seriously. "Others' livestreams are fake, including Qin Guang's. Although it's a ghost hunting livestream, it's essentially listening to the host's story in a different place. But your livestream is different. The feeling of nervousness is like you're really in a life-and-death situation. It makes people feel worried and scared together with you. Just based on that, I have to say that I'm impressed. "
Because it's all real! Chen Ge felt like even if he told the truth, Liu Dao wouldn't believe him. "Perhaps my acting is better."
"You're too humble. I haven't seen that kind of feeling of dancing between life and death in many professional actors." Liu Dao seemed to admire Chen Ge. "I feel like only your livestream can compete with Qin Guang's popularity and traffic. As long as you agree to cooperate with us, we'll do everything we can to fight for resources for you."
"Then, what do I need to do?" Effort and reward were proportional — that was something Chen Ge knew very well.
"We'll find a place that looks scary and desolate, and we'll build the setting there. We'll design something scary beforehand. You only need to go to the location to livestream, and then we'll provide the advertisement in the livestream room." Afraid that Chen Ge would reject him, Liu Dao took out a document from the black box. "The setting needs to be set up beforehand, and the script needs to be written. We'll do a ghost hunting livestream every ten days. This is the same time as Qin Guang's team. You can take a look at the location and the script."
Chen Ge flipped through the documents. The locations were too conservative. Some were right next to the residential area. If the camera moved too much, it would be exposed.
"Do you think it's inappropriate? Don't worry, we'll guarantee the safety. All the areas have been inspected beforehand, and we'll arrange for drones to follow you during your livestream. "
"How can you win against Qin Guang with this kind of livestream?" Chen Ge looked exasperated. He returned the document to Liu Dao. "These locations are not interesting at all, and the script is too familiar. How about I recommend a place for you?"
"What place?"
"Have you heard of the Third Sick Hall?" Chen Ge opened his phone and typed in the name. Soon, a series of strange, cruel, and twisted messages appeared on screen. "I plan to go to this place for my next livestream."
