The next morning, in the office of the program team, Director He Su frowned.
For a large-scale escape-type variety show like this, the investment on the platform of Mengguo TV was not small, and the props for the scenes had consumed a lot of manpower, resources, and time.
They had thought that by inviting popular celebrities like Yang Mi and Deng Lun, they would have at least 100 million views, but after a few episodes, they only had 60 to 70 million views.
What was even more depressing was that the Douban rating was only 6.2 points. If it slipped any lower, it would fail. It was estimated that there would be no chance for the second season.
Besides the fans of a few celebrities, many people in the audience expressed their disappointment with the quality of the show.
On the contrary, the amateur version of each episode, which was used to test the scenes for celebrities, won a lot of praise due to the tight editing.
"Why don't we do two episodes with a supernatural theme?”Producer Zou Shan suggested.
Chief Planner Zhang Yong sighed." The later scenes have already been planned, but we don't have enough funds. Forget it. It's impossible for every variety show to be popular. If not, we'll change the theme for the next season.”
"Next season?"
He Su smiled bitterly." I think the sponsors are all black-faced. It's probably going to be difficult!"”
"Director, Director, I have good news!”
As soon as He Su finished speaking, Zhou Yunjing, who was in charge of content operations, pushed the door open and entered. She looked very excited.
"Little Zhou, we're in a meeting. Don't you have any manners?”He Su frowned.
Zhou Yunjing was a graduate who had just started her internship at Mengguo TV. When she heard that, she quickly apologized and immediately smiled."I just received a call. A gentleman is willing to provide us with an abandoned hospital for free. He wants us to film an episode of Resident Evil.”
Resident Evil theme?
The three of them looked at each other. Zhang Yong waved his hand and said,"Tell him that we don't have any extra budget for this season. We'll talk about it next season.”
"He said that we don't need to spend a single cent. He'll be responsible for all the renovations and props.”Zhou Yunjing quickly added.
"Is there such a good thing? What conditions did he propose?" Zou Shan asked curiously.
"It must be the boss of a new escape room that wants to use our program to advertise!”Zhang Yong snorted.
There was no such thing as a free lunch in this world. Everyone knew this, and those in the entertainment industry were even more sensitive.
"He asked the production team to go over and take a look before we talk. He also said that as long as the production team is satisfied, he can provide the scenes for every episode for free.”Zhou Yunjing immediately said.
Every episode was free?
F * ck!
With the program team's capabilities, it would be exhausting for many people to make one episode. This guy could actually provide scenes for every episode, and it was f * cking free?!
That would be different!
This was equivalent to a long-term sponsor!
Could it be that Yang Mi's diehard fan had nowhere to spend her money?
"Anyway, there's nothing much to do in the afternoon. Why don't the three of us go over and take a look?”As He Su listened, he was already tempted.
If the escape room program could turn the tide, it was worth a try.
"The key is the Resident Evil theme. I don't know if it will pass the review.”
As a producer, Zou Shan was still a little conflicted.
"Let's put the story in another way. Let's say that aliens are causing trouble. It's fine as long as it's not too bloody and violent.”
Zhang Yong was also interested and immediately said to Zhou Yunjing,"Call him back and tell him that we'll go over at three in the afternoon to take a look.”
……
With the safety consultant and the planning team, a group of 12 people arrived at Eastern Jiujiang in the hot sun.
The moment they saw Ke Dong, He Su, Zhang Yong, and Zou Shan's faces darkened.
What was a young man in his twenties doing?
Ke Dong really wanted to dress up a little more mature, but unfortunately, his age was there, and he could not pretend to be a big shot even with a beard.
Therefore, Ke Dong did not waste any time. After shaking hands with the three of them and introducing them, he led them to the entrance of the abandoned hospital.
"You want to fool us with a random broken house? Are you kidding me?!”Zhang Yong said angrily.
"Is that so?"
Ke Dong curled his lips and smiled.”
"I've played many escape rooms. What's so good about an abandoned building like this?”Tang Xiao coldly snorted.
To be honest, this abandoned hospital looked like a dilapidated two-story building from the outside. Moreover, it was broad daylight now, so it was naturally not as scary as it was at night.
"I've installed 500 cameras inside. If you have the ability, go in and try it before you brag.”
Ke Dong knew that he was not convincing at his age. Only by letting them experience it for themselves could they talk about the future cooperation.
Especially this arrogant Tang Xiao. If he didn't press this consultant to the ground and rub him back and forth, no one would believe him.
"F * ck! 500 cameras?"
As a director, He Su naturally knew what 500 cameras meant.
It wasn't that 500 cameras were expensive, but that in this two-story building that was less than 1000 square meters, the entire game process could be perfectly displayed from almost any angle.
What kind of secret chamber design would require such great effort?
"Didn't you all bring your laptops? Try it and you'll know if I'm bragging.”
Ke Dong chuckled." And I can also tell you that this is only the first secret room that I've provided. There are still 'scary supernatural' and 'terrifying creatures' behind it.”
"Alright, since we're already here, let's test it.”
He Su was really interested in Ke Dong's 500 cameras.
Seeing that the director had said so, the others no longer had any objections.
Of course, it was the consultant's job to test the safety and playability of the escape room.
As the chief consultant, Tang Xiao waved his hand in disdain, and five burly men stepped forward. They were all professional players.
"Come, give me a smile."
Ke Dong picked up his phone and started taking pictures of the six people.
"What are you doing?" Tang Xiao frowned.
"Nothing much. I was just afraid that you would be so scared that your faces would twist and I wouldn't be able to tell who's who.”Ke Dong chuckled.
