At night, at Fish-Catching Internet Cafe's Ming Yun Villas branch …
Qiao Liang sipped his coffee while checking the comments on the internet about Thriller Hostel.
His brows relaxed and furrowed from time to time.
There were not many comments about Thriller Hostel on the internet at the moment. It could not be compared to the situation when Tengda's new games were released.
There were basically no awkward negative comments among the comments that he could find, but there were not many positive comments either.
Qiao Liang could feel that something was wrong with the situation.
It was not necessarily a good thing that no one was negative. It could also be that everyone was not interested enough to form a heated discussion!
That meant that Boss Pei's painstaking efforts for Thriller Hostel had not been understood by everyone.
If this situation continued, the result would be obvious: Thriller Hostel would gradually be abandoned and unable to recover because of the subsequent traffic and lack of exposure!
Qiao Liang knew that he could not allow that to happen.
It was his mission to explain Boss Pei's deep meaning to everyone!
He quickly scanned through the comments and locked on to some representative points.
"I think there's nothing wrong with this haunted house. They invested a lot of resources, and the details inside are not bad … However, it's a haunted house and not a comprehensive amusement park. That's the biggest problem!"
"Apart from a few horror lovers, who would deliberately come all the way there just to be scared?"
"I think there's a big problem with Thriller Hostel's pricing strategy. 'Desperate Escape' is the most fun and suitable for many people to experience repeatedly. Yet, the tickets are only ten yuan? Everyone is queuing at the entrance … "
"The location doesn't seem very good either. It would be better if it was near Jingzhou's amusement park. At the very least, it should be somewhere with convenient transportation, right?"
"'Ultimate Horror' is a little too expensive. Who would want to spend a hundred yuan to suffer …"
"I'm not optimistic about the future development of this place either. Choosing to be a haunted house is already very niche. The location is remote, and the pricing is very strange. If not for Tengda's strong publicity, I'm afraid it would not be known at all. Even if Tengda did the publicity now, it would only be a waste of publicity resources. They would probably lose their pants soon …"
There were many similar comments. Most people did not have any opinions about the Thriller Hostel itself. As a haunted house, it was indeed one of the best in the country. However, it was obvious that it was not attractive enough.
Most people's conclusion was that it would be worth it if Jingzhou locals went with their friends. However, if they were outsiders and not horror enthusiasts, it would not be worth it to travel so far just to be scared.
The most discussed issue was mainly the positioning and pricing of the Thriller Hostel. They felt that this would be the key factor that would lead to the project's subsequent weakness.
As for who should be blamed for this, everyone had different opinions.
Some people said that Boss Pei would never make such a low-level mistake and that the person-in-charge of the project had to take the blame.
Others said that Boss Pei must have reported such a huge matter like the fee collection strategy to Boss Pei. There was no way Boss Pei did not know about it. However, there was no need to deify Boss Pei. Boss Pei was also an ordinary person, and he would make mistakes.
All in all, the Thriller Hostel was in a bad situation.
Although some UP Masters on Aili Island had introduced the experience of playing in the Thriller Hostel, and the content was very comprehensive, the response was average. They were not popular videos, and they did not have a good effect on the dissemination.
Qiao Liang could not help but feel unfair for Boss Pei, especially when there was a comment that went overboard. "I think the person-in-charge's brain is probably damaged. He thinks that he has too much money and wants to burn some.
"Misunderstanding, this is definitely a misunderstanding!
"Indeed, it is the fate of the speaker to be misinterpreted. How dare they say that Boss Pei's brain is damaged? He thinks that he has too much money? What a load of nonsense!
"Boss Pei is a business genius!
"Most people actually do not understand Boss Pei's positioning and special pricing strategy for the Thriller Hostel?
"It looks like I, Teacher Qiao, have to be the one to uncover the truth for everyone!"
Qiao Liang switched to the backend of Aili Island's website. When he saw the words' upload complete 'on the screen, he could not help but clench his fists. "Yes!"
After four days of hard work and the close cooperation of the staff of the Thriller Hostel and Shang Yang Games, the new video was finally uploaded successfully!
Qiao Liang did not contact Boss Pei over the past few days. Instead, he devoted himself to the production of the video.
Collecting materials on the internet …
Discussing the details of the construction of the Thriller Hostel with Chen Kangtuo and the others …
Thinking about Boss Pei's deep meaning over and over again …
His hard work paid off. Qiao Liang finally completed the video and refuted all the misunderstandings about Boss Pei on the internet. He also made a bold prediction about the future development of the Thriller Hostel!
He was full of confidence for this video.
He believed that Boss Pei would definitely be moved when he saw this video!
Qiao Liang finally confirmed the title of the video.
'The Silent Expresser Episode One: Explaining the True Position of the Thriller Hostel in the Interactive Theme Park'!
The title of the video series was changed from 'The Lonely Expresser' to 'The Silent Expresser'.
There were two main reasons for this change:
First, Qiao Liang felt that Boss Pei was actually not lonely. He might not be understood by ordinary people, but he, Big Boss Ruan, Wu Bin, and Tengda's employees all understood Boss Pei very well!
So many people understood Boss Pei and were always with him. How could he say that Boss Pei was lonely? It was a little pretentious.
Second, Qiao Liang felt that 'silence' could better express Boss Pei's attitude than 'loneliness'.
Boss Pei was actually doing things silently and deliberately not explaining to everyone. However, his true intentions would eventually be understood by everyone.
Thus, 'silence' was more appropriate. What's more, the combination of 'silence' and 'expresser' seemed more philosophical.
Finally, Qiao Liang sent the video's address to the person-in-charge of Shang Yang Games, Ye Zhizhou.
"The video is done!"
…
At night, Pei Qian curled up comfortably on the sofa and played with his cell phone.
Suddenly, he lost his grip and dropped his cell phone on his face.
"F * ck!"
Pei Qian was stunned. He rubbed his red forehead and could not help but sigh.
This f * cking cell phone is too heavy! I can't hold it properly, and it hurts to hit someone!
Who would make a cell phone so heavy?
Oh, it seems to be me.
That's alright.
Pei Qian changed into a comfortable position and prepared to use his cell phone to project it onto the big TV so that he could sleep comfortably.
However, he saw a push notification the moment he opened Aili Island's application.
The UP Master he followed had updated!
Pei Qian could not help but shiver. A bad feeling surged in his heart.
He took a closer look. It was indeed Teacher Qiao!
"It's fine if it's just games, but you're not letting me off the hook even though I'm making a haunted house?"
Pei Qian was shocked. He thought that Qiao Liang would have to return to Beijing before making the video. That would take at least a week, right?
In the end, he had finished everything in four days!
Are you in a rush to reincarnate?!
Pei Qian did not want to play the video, but he had no other choice.
"Let's watch. Teacher Qiao is a UP Master in the gaming area. He would definitely not be professional in making a haunted house. Perhaps not many people would watch it?"
…
This was different from the previous videos. Teacher Qiao appeared in person this time.
The background seemed to be in the coffee area of a certain Fish-Catching Internet Cafe. The video was recorded in the morning. The lighting was good, and there were not many customers.
Pei Qian immediately realized that Qiao Liang had not left. He had stayed in Jingzhou and edited the video in Fish-Catching Internet Cafe!
Qiao Liang sipped his coffee and began to tell his fans about the origin of this video series.
"Dear fathers of the audience, long time no see! I'm still your 'father of games', Teacher Qiao!
"I know that this is the first time many of my fans have seen my face in the video. Don't feel strange. Sometimes, you can be handsome and talented at the same time. Students who have been conquered by my looks can type the word 'handsome' on the public screen.
"Let's get back to the main topic. Many students might ask, 'Ah, Teacher Qiao, what does the title of this video series mean? Why is it so poetic? Are you going to make a literary program? '
"Of course not! The 'expresser' here is actually a broad concept. Expression does not have to be through speaking or forming words. It can also be through doing things.
"Everything we do is actually expressing something. It might be a certain philosophy of ours, or it might be a certain appeal of ours.
"The protagonist of this video series is the same person as the protagonist of Products of the Gods.
"He is a silent expresser and a lonely expresser. His thoughts can always be misread, and his intentions can always be misinterpreted. However, even so, he has always insisted on being himself and never compromised with the world!
"I've been paying attention to the discussions online recently. I realized that everyone's understanding of Thriller Hostel has obviously been seriously biased.
"Next, let me unveil the mystery of this maverick theme park, explore those seemingly unreasonable places, and make a bold prediction about its future.
"I say, Thriller Hostel, not! Come! Must! Fire! "
…
Pei Qian felt that his little heart could not take it anymore at this point.
Especially the last four words, enunciated word by word. For some reason, it reminded Pei Qian of the tolling of a death knell …
Pei Qian had to admit that Teacher Qiao was right about one thing.
Indeed, my thoughts have always been misread, my intentions have always been misinterpreted, and I have always insisted on being myself and never compromised with the world.
However, you guys are the ones who have been misinterpreting me!
If it weren't for all of you explaining my "true intentions" in such a hurry, I wouldn't have ended up in such a state!
What's more, this Teacher Qiao, it's fine that you interpreted my game and made it profitable. Now, I'm secretly making a haunted house, and you're not letting me off?
Are you even human?
Must you be so ruthless?
Pei Qian trembled with anger. The entire world would not be good!
However, he quickly adjusted his mentality. After all, he had experienced such things many times.
Pei Qian continued watching.
…
The following video content was mainly shot in Thriller Hostel and Fish-Catching Internet Cafe. However, the connection between the image and the content was not strong. There were also no scenes in the three projects, probably to avoid spoilers.
The focus of the video was still on the 'interpretation' part.
Qiao Liang's unique voice was very recognizable. He spoke at a steady pace.
"At present, there are three points that people have doubts about Thriller Hostel.
"First, it is just a haunted house. Although it is playable, it is not worth a special trip.
"Second, it is very scary and only suitable for veteran horror enthusiasts.
"Third, there is a big problem with its pricing. It will directly restrict its future development, and its prospects are worrying.
"Therefore, many people think that it will be a failed project.
"But my opinion is exactly the opposite!"
"Next, I will stand from the perspective of a business genius and refute these three points one by one. I will reveal the truth behind Thriller Hostel's strategy and explain to everyone why its future is limitless!
…
He recommended a public account, "Lost Finds", which would regularly recommend some interesting web novels. At the same time, I will also promote my public account "Green Shirt Get Drunk", there will be good content every day!
