At 7 pm, after taking two wrong turns, Liu Dao finally arrived at his destination with Chen Ge.
"Get out, I'll bring you to meet the other people from our studio." Liu Dao parked the car and walked into the nearby forest.
"We're almost at the county already, right?" Chen Ge checked his backpack and got out of the car.
The road had not been maintained for many years, and it was riddled with potholes. There were even some rocks on the ground like someone had purposely blocked the road to prevent people from passing through.
The trees on the sides of the road seemed to have been planted a long time ago. They were tall and lush.
Walking into the forest, the canopy blocked out the moonlight, giving off a rather eerie feeling.
The sky was already dark. Chen Ge turned on his flashlight and followed behind Liu Dao. They walked for ten minutes, but they still did not leave the forest.
"Brother, you're not lost, are you?" Chen Ge looked around for a long time, but he did not see anyone.
"Don't worry, don't worry." Liu Dao made a phone call and walked to the other side of the forest. "This place is very complicated, and there's no point of reference. If you're not careful, you'll get lost. Since you're entering the hospital alone, you have to be careful along the way. It's best if you leave some markings on the tree trunks. "
After walking for several minutes, Liu Dao and Chen Ge finally exited the forest. They saw a large tent on a slope.
"This is the only open space around here, and it's also the place with the best signal." Seeing Liu Dao, the people inside the tent all walked out.
"Brother Liu, why are you so late? We don't have enough manpower. Are you trying to tire me and Sister Lee out? " A young man with a crew cut and a head like the lid of a teapot complained. He looked to be in his early twenties and was very carefree.
"You have no sense of direction, but you insist on picking someone up." It was Sister Lee who spoke. Her skin was rough, and her body was bigger than a normal man's.
To ease the awkwardness, Liu Dao quickly pulled Chen Ge over. "This is the livestreamer who's going to challenge the Third Sick Hospital — Chen Ge. There's still some time before the livestream starts. You should teach him how to use the equipment and filming techniques."
"He is Chen Ge?" Sister Li pushed Liu Dao away and looked at Chen Ge together with the young man with the crew cut. When they saw Chen Ge's current appearance, there was a trace of surprise in their eyes.
Wasn't it supposed to be a Spirit Detection Livestream? Why did you bring a chicken here?
They really wanted to ridicule Chen Ge's outfit, but it was their first time meeting each other, so they held it in.
"I'm Zhang Ping, and this is Sister Li. We'll be in charge of the live broadcast tonight." The youth with the crew cut brought Chen Ge into the tent, which was filled with a lot of equipment. He told Chen Ge how to use the various items and then asked Chen Ge to open the black suitcase. He then taught Chen Ge the filming techniques and precautions.
Outside the tent, Sister Li was a little uncertain when she saw this scene. "Old Liu, are you sure this kid can do it? We sacrificed the recommendation of two anchors with 100,000 followers to get a second page promotion for him. The platform is afraid of falling out with Qin Guang, so it's obvious that they don't have high hopes for us. "
Liu Dao lit a cigarette. The platform's recommendation resources were separated into five levels, with one being the best and five being the worst. The highest recommendation they could get for a newcomer was a second page promotion.
"He only has one second page promotion, but Qin Guang has three first page promotions at the same time, and there's even a cover advertisement. They are not on the same level at all." Sister Li had never had high hopes for Chen Ge, and this feeling only intensified after meeting Chen Ge in person. To become a popular anchor, one had to be extremely beautiful, have a unique way of speaking, have a strong personal style, or have a variety of specialties. However, Chen Ge did not seem to have any of these. He gave off the impression of a very normal person. He was not flamboyant or funny, and he looked calm and collected. Compared to an anchor, he was more like a surgeon.
"What you see is just the surface. If you talk to him more, you'll realize that this person has a unique charisma. He has a completely different understanding of horror from normal people." Liu Dao was reminded of the first time he had a conversation with Chen Ge. During the conversation, he was led by the nose by Chen Ge, and he did not have the initiative at all. In his heart, he had screamed that he had met a real 'madman'.
After some reflection, he realized that the two of them were not on the same level at all.
"I still don't have high hopes for him. Our investment this time might be for naught." Sister Li sighed. "One more thing, if we help him fight for a recommendation channel, Qin Guang will definitely hold a grudge against us. Now that the platform has pushed Qin Guang to become a first-line anchor, when he becomes the platform's face anchor, the other anchors in our guild will have a hard time. "
"Can you have some faith in Chen Ge? To put it bluntly, both of Qin Guang's livestreams are plagiarism, and the one we hired is the real deal. "Liu Dao signaled for Sister Li to lower her voice so that no one else could hear them.
"It's not that I don't have high hopes for him, but he has no script, props, or actors. What's the point of a boring livestream like this? Do you think the audience will buy it? "
"I'm not going to argue with you. In any case, don't make any mistakes tonight. Just focus on what you're doing." Liu Dao adjusted his expression and entered the tent. He walked forward to greet Chen Ge, took out his laptop, and opened the bookmarked webpage. "Chen Ge, come and take a look at this."
Initially, Chen Ge thought it was a script, but after reading it, he realized that it was a few news articles.
"It's easy to see through the script that we designed ourselves, and it looks quite stiff, so we'll just let you do whatever you want." Liu Dao pointed at the news on the laptop. "There are three most discussed things at the rehabilitation center. The first is the missing hospital director, and even now, no one knows whether he's still alive or not. The second is the weird noises that come from the hospital building at night like there's still someone living there. The third is the strange bloody letters that appear out of nowhere. Sometimes, you can see them at night, but when the day comes, everything returns to normal. If we do the livestream from these three directions, the effect should be better. "
Chen Ge nodded. After reading all the news, he had a general understanding of the strange things happening at the rehabilitation center.
"Let's eat first. We'll discuss the details later." Sister Li took out several lunchboxes from the cooler and distributed them to the people there.
At 9: 30 pm, Liu Dao went out to make a few calls. When he returned, he told Chen Ge that it was time to start.
Zhang Ping took out the livestream equipment from the black briefcase, and Chen Ge was also making the final preparations. He opened the briefcase, and under the confused gazes of the people around him, grabbed the jacket from the white cat's paw and put it on.
The jacket still had the cat's scent on it. After entering the sick hall, only with this jacket on would the white cat follow him.
