Pei Qian went straight to the service area of the Thriller Hostel and found Chen Kangtuo and Hao Qiong, who were busy.
It was Monday morning. There were much fewer tourists in the Thriller Hostel compared to the weekend. Thus, Chen Kangtuo and Hao Qiong were mainly busy with the roller coaster.
Before the roller coaster officially opened for operation, the Thriller Hostel park would definitely have to make a series of arrangements, including various guidelines and publicity. They would also have to emphasize the details of on-site management to ensure that nothing went wrong.
After all, the most important thing in such an amusement park was safety. Whether it was fun or not was the 0 at the back. Only safety was the 1 at the front. If safety could not be guaranteed, there was no need to talk about the experience.
Boss Pei's sudden appearance surprised Chen Kangtuo. "Eh, Boss Pei, why are you here?!"
Chen Kangtuo even felt a little excited for some reason. After all, he had not seen Boss Pei for more than a year.
Ever since Boss Pei gave the Thriller Hostel a simple direction for the roller coaster project, he had not been here again.
Although this showed that they had full trust in Chen Kangtuo and Hao Qiong and gave them ample space to perform, they still felt like they were being neglected …
If not for the huge investment in this roller coaster project, Chen Kangtuo would have thought that he had really become an isolated peripheral department.
Now that the roller coaster had been repaired and had entered the early stages of publicity, Boss Pei finally came to inspect.
Pei Qian sat down on the sofa and asked casually, "How's the roller coaster project? Did you encounter any difficulties? "
Chen Kangtuo immediately shook his head. "No, everything is going smoothly!"
"After all, the construction party we found is very reliable. The progress is very fast, and the quality and safety are guaranteed."
"As for the effect of the roller coaster, I've experienced it many times and made some fine-tuning."
"The current situation should be said to have basically met my initial expectations."
Chen Kangtuo did not dare to be too full of himself. He could not say that he was 100% satisfied with this roller coaster, right? He could not be so ostentatious in front of Boss Pei and make himself look like a half-empty bottle of water.
Thus, he had to be more humble and say that this roller coaster had basically met his initial expectations.
Pei Qian nodded, not surprised by Chen Kangtuo's answer.
He did not expect Chen Kangtuo to really mess up this project. That would be too optimistic.
Chen Kangtuo had been in charge of the previous series of projects in Thriller Hostel. He had accumulated a lot of experience. The roller coaster project this time might have more investment than the previous three projects combined, but it was still working with a professional construction party after all. There was no essential difference in terms of difficulty.
Chen Kangtuo had come from the gaming department, so he still had some ideas of his own. It would be strange if he was not satisfied with the roller coaster that he had built.
Pei Qian could only hope that the restrictions he had placed on the roller coaster could reduce the fun of the roller coaster to a certain extent and reduce the number of passengers, making it difficult for the entire project to recover its cost.
"By the way, Meng Chang did not arrange any publicity funds for this project," Pei asked.
Previously, he had asked Meng Chang to choose between the roller coaster project and "Successor" for publicity. After some consideration, Meng Chang chose "Successor". From the looks of it, the publicity work was done well and it did not have any good publicity effect.
What's more, Meng Chang seemed to be rubbing his palms and accumulating strength, preparing to start the second round of publicity to consolidate the results.
Since Meng Chang had spent all the publicity funds on 'Successor', there would definitely not be much publicity funds for the roller coaster.
Pei Qian completely agreed with Meng Chang's approach. After all, the roller coaster had an investment of more than 100 million yuan. The bottom line of the experience could definitely be guaranteed.
With more publicity resources, the danger of it becoming popular was much higher than 'Successor'.
Meng Chang must have seen this as well. That was why he decided not to give Thriller Hostel any publicity resources.
However, Pei Qian was a little worried. Would Chen Kangtuo feel unbalanced and suspicious because there were no publicity resources?
If there were any signs of this, he had to appease Chen Kangtuo in time and dispel his thoughts.
However, Chen Kangtuo smiled very open-mindedly. "It's alright. I think publicity resources should be given to projects that need it more. 'Successor' obviously needs these resources more than us."
"As for the publicity resources for Thriller Hostel … Meng Chang doesn't have to worry about it. We can solve it ourselves."
Pei Qian was quite happy after hearing the first sentence.
Chen Kangtuo was very aware!
It would be good if there were more employees like you in Tengda. That way, I would be able to save a lot of effort and not have to explain to my employees every time.
However, Pei Qian suddenly felt that something was amiss when he heard the second sentence. A question mark slowly floated above his head.
Solve it himself?
How?
This publicity fund was not a small sum. The money that had been allocated to Thriller Hostel had all been used for construction. There should not be much money that could be used now.
He could not possibly do some rustic publicity that did not cost much, right?
Looking at Chen Kangtuo's confident expression, it was obvious that he did not compromise on the publicity. He was even quite satisfied?
Chen Kangtuo said, "Boss Pei, why don't I bring you to take a look at the current publicity situation?"
Pei Qian nodded. "Yes."
Chen Kangtuo immediately stood up and led Pei Qian out of the service area of Thriller Hostel. He called a sightseeing car in the park and drove towards the roller coaster.
Thriller Hostel's park was getting bigger and bigger. It was already a little tiring to walk around the entire park with just his legs. Thus, Chen Kangtuo was also actively planning various transportation facilities in the park, such as sightseeing cars, balance cars for one person, and so on.
Apart from that, the sightseeing car around Thriller Hostel was also being planned, but it had not been put on the construction schedule for the time being.
Pei Qian sat in the sightseeing car and looked around.
First, he saw some billboards hanging inside Thriller Hostel, giving some guidance on the location of the roller coaster.
However, the content of these billboards was quite low-key. They did not show the exact shape of the roller coaster. They only gave directions. The advertising words were also relatively simple, such as' The Unique Indoor Roller Coaster ',' Original IP, Interactive Plot Brings Unique Experience ',' Trust Me, You'll Come More Than Once ', and so on.
There was also a black silhouette of the roller coaster's route map on it. It looked a little complicated, making it difficult to guess the exact route.
Chen Kangtuo introduced proudly, "Boss Pei, this is the billboard that Hao Qiong and I designed for the roller coaster project."
"Indoor roller coasters have a few advantages over traditional roller coasters."
"For example, they will not be affected by the weather. They can open normally regardless of whether it's windy or rainy or snowy. The temperature will not affect them much either."
"It's easy to tell stories and create themes. Indoor roller coasters are easier to create a relatively realistic scene, giving people a feeling of transmigration."
"Another important point is to prevent spoilers."
"You can see the entire trajectory of the outdoor roller coaster as soon as you enter the amusement park. However, the indoor roller coaster is completely hidden. Even if you have already sat on it, you will not be able to guess the route after that. It retains the greatest sense of mystery."
"That's why the billboards here do not reveal any spoilers. Visitors can experience it on their own after entering the project."
Pei Qian nodded slightly. He could barely accept this point.
After all, he had raised the budget very high previously and limited the height of the roller coaster to not be too high. It was not strange for Chen Kangtuo and the others to think of the idea of an indoor roller coaster.
But how exactly did they create this original IP?
He had to see it live to know.
The sightseeing bus continued moving forward and soon saw the exterior of the indoor roller coaster project.
It was a little far from the main park of the Thriller Hostel. There was a lot of space left in the middle, leaving good room for expansion in the future.
If the roller coaster and the park of the Thriller Hostel were next to each other, it would be very difficult to insert other small projects or shops in the middle. What's more, it would look very crowded and not as grand.
The Thriller Hostel was located in the old industrial zone. It was also considered a key project supported by Jingzhou. The location was not a problem.
Of course, that was only the reason on the surface.
In fact, the reason why Pei Qian had specially requested for the roller coaster to be as far away from the original project of the Thriller Hostel as possible was mainly because he was afraid that the flow of people in the Thriller Hostel would cause the roller coaster to become popular. Thus, he had to maintain a distance.
There might be sightseeing buses, ballistas, and other means of transportation in the Thriller Hostel, but some people might still need to walk over if there was a large flow of people.
If it was in other parks where the projects were more compact or there were other shops in between, tourists could walk while walking. The experience would be better.
There was a lonely roller coaster here. There was nothing between the roller coaster and the original project of the Thriller Hostel. It would definitely be a torture for tourists.
Pei Qian felt that this strategy should still be of some use.
However, Pei Qian suddenly felt that something was amiss after the sightseeing bus drove for a while.
Why were there more shops on this route?
There were all kinds of shops. There were restaurants, cafes, and even shops selling things. However, their styles were more uniform and matched the overall style of the Thriller Hostel. It did not look out of place at all, as if they should have been here.
There was a larger shop at the midpoint of the route from the Thriller Hostel to the roller coaster project. It had also been renovated and remodeled using the previous factory. One could vaguely see the VR somatosensory equipment inside.
These shops were still being renovated and remodeled. They might have used the original buildings in the old industrial zone, but they would inevitably have to be greatly modified.
However, looking at the current progress, it should not be a problem to open it at the end of the month together with the roller coaster project.
Pei Qian's face was filled with confusion.
Something was wrong?
It seemed a little different from what I had imagined?
Pei Qian had originally thought that these buildings would not be used in the short term. Chen Kangtuo would most likely build a simpler wall on both sides of the road to guide the audience along the main road to the roller coaster.
After all, Tengda did not have any extra funds to modify these buildings and build shops.
But now, on the way to the roller coaster, all the buildings, big and small, were basically under construction. It was a scene of bustling activity.
Pei Qian suddenly had a bad feeling.
"Could it be …"
Pei Qian's guess was quickly confirmed because he saw Li Shi at the entrance of the largest shop where he could see the VR somatosensory equipment inside.
