Chapter 1370 We'll Solve the Publicity Resources Ourselves!

Pei Qian went directly to the service area of ​​Horror Hotel and found Chen Kangtuo and Hao Qiong, who were busy.

It was Monday morning, and there were far fewer tourists at Horror Hotel than on weekends, so Chen Kangtuo and Hao Qiong were mainly busy with the roller coaster.

Before the official opening of the roller coaster, the Horror Hotel park would definitely have to make a series of arrangements, including various guides, publicity, and emphasize many details of on-site management to the employees after the opening, to ensure nothing goes wrong.

After all, the most important thing in this kind of amusement park is safety. Whether it's fun or not is secondary; only safety is paramount. If safety cannot be guaranteed, there is no point in talking about the amusement experience.

Chen Kangtuo was a little surprised by President Pei's sudden appearance: "Oh, President Pei, why are you here!"

Chen Kangtuo was even a little excited for some reason, after all, it had been more than a year since he had seen President Pei.

Since President Pei simply pointed out a direction for Horror Hotel's roller coaster project last time, he had never come again.

Although this showed full trust in Chen Kangtuo and Hao Qiong and gave them full freedom to develop, there was still a feeling of being ignored...

If this roller coaster project hadn't been a huge investment, Chen Kangtuo would have almost thought that his department had really become an isolated peripheral department.

Now that the roller coaster was finished and had entered the early stages of publicity, President Pei had finally come to inspect it.

Pei Qian sat down on the sofa and asked casually, "How is the roller coaster project going? Have you encountered any difficulties?"

Chen Kangtuo immediately shook his head: "No, everything is going smoothly!"

"After all, the construction team we found is very reliable, the progress is fast, and the quality and safety are guaranteed."

"As for the effect of the roller coaster, I have experienced it many times and made some fine-tuning."

"In its current state, it should be said that it has basically reached my initial expectations."

Chen Kangtuo didn't dare to be too assertive, and couldn't say that he was 100% satisfied with this roller coaster, right? He couldn't be so flamboyant in front of President Pei, appearing like a half-empty bottle that keeps sloshing around.

So it was better to be humble and say that the roller coaster had basically met his initial expectations.

Pei Qian nodded, not surprised by Chen Kangtuo's answer.

He didn't expect Chen Kangtuo to really screw up this project anyway; that would have been too optimistic.

Chen Kangtuo was in charge of a series of projects at Horror Hotel before and had accumulated a wealth of experience. Although the investment in this roller coaster project was more than the sum of the previous three projects, it was still working with a professional construction team, so there was no essential difference in difficulty.

Chen Kangtuo came from the game department and still had some of his own ideas. It would be strange if he himself wasn't satisfied with the roller coaster that was built.

Pei Qian could only hope that the restrictions he had previously placed on the roller coaster could reduce its fun to a certain extent, reduce the number of visitors, and thus make the entire project difficult to recover costs.

"By the way, Meng Chang doesn't seem to have arranged any publicity funds for this project, right?" Pei Qian asked.

Before, he had asked Meng Chang to choose between the roller coaster project and *The Successor* for publicity. After investigation, Meng Chang chose *The Successor*. Judging from the current situation, the publicity work was done well, and it didn't achieve any good publicity effect at all.

Moreover, Meng Chang seemed to be raring to go, accumulating strength, preparing to start the second round of publicity offensive to consolidate the results.

Since Meng Chang had put all the publicity funds into *The Successor*, there certainly wouldn't be much publicity funds for the roller coaster.

Pei Qian fully agreed with Meng Chang's approach. After all, with an investment of over 100 million, the bottom line of the experience can certainly be guaranteed.

Giving more publicity resources would make the risk of becoming popular much higher than with the *Successor* series.

Meng Chang must have seen this too, so he decided not to give Horror Hotel any publicity resources.

However, Pei Qian was a little worried that Chen Kangtuo would feel unbalanced and suspicious because of the lack of publicity resources, right?

If there was such a sign, he must be appeased in time to dispel Chen Kangtuo's idea.

However, Chen Kangtuo smiled very openly: "It doesn't matter, I think publicity resources should be given to projects that need them more. *The Successor* obviously needs these resources more than we do."

"As for the publicity resources for Horror Hotel... Meng Chang doesn't need to worry about it, we can solve it ourselves."

After hearing the first sentence, Pei Qian was quite happy.

Chen Kangtuo was very aware!

It would be great if there were more employees with such awareness in Tengda, so that he could save a lot of time and effort and wouldn't have to painstakingly explain things to employees every time.

But after hearing the second sentence, Pei Qian suddenly felt something was wrong and a question mark slowly floated over his head.

Solve it ourselves?

How to solve it?

This publicity funding is not a small amount. All the money previously allocated to Horror Hotel was used for construction, and there shouldn't be much money available now.

Could it be that they are going to do some low-cost, unsophisticated publicity?

Looking at Chen Kangtuo's confident look, the publicity matter was obviously not a compromise, and he was even quite satisfied with it?

Chen Kangtuo said, "Why don't I take you to see the current publicity situation, President Pei?"

Pei Qian nodded: "Okay."

Chen Kangtuo immediately got up and led Pei Qian out of the Horror Hotel service area, and called a sightseeing car in the park to drive towards the roller coaster.

The Horror Hotel park was getting bigger and bigger. It was already a bit tiring to walk around the entire park, so Chen Kangtuo was actively planning various transportation facilities in the park, such as sightseeing cars, balance bikes for single use, and so on.

In addition, a tram for sightseeing around Horror Hotel was also in the planning stage, but it had not been put on the construction agenda yet.

Pei Qian sat in the sightseeing car and looked around.

First, he saw some billboards hung inside the Horror Hotel, giving some guidance on the location of the roller coaster.

However, the content of these billboards was quite low-key and did not give the specific appearance of the roller coaster, but only gave route guidance. The advertising slogans were also relatively concise, such as "Unique indoor roller coaster", "Original IP, interactive plot brings a unique experience", "Trust me, you won't only come once" and the like.

There was also a black roller coaster route silhouette drawn on it, which looked a bit intricate and made it difficult to guess the specific route.

Chen Kangtuo introduced with some pride: "President Pei, these are the billboards that Hao Qiong and I designed for the roller coaster project."

"Indoor roller coasters have several advantages over traditional roller coasters."

"For example, they are not affected by the weather, and can be opened normally regardless of strong winds or rain and snow, and the temperature will not have much impact;"

"It is easy to tell stories and make themes. Indoor roller coasters are easier to create a relatively realistic scene, giving people a sense of crossing over;"

"And a very important point is to prevent spoilers."

"Outdoor roller coasters can see the entire trajectory as soon as you enter the amusement park, while indoor roller coasters are completely hidden. Even if you have already sat on it, you can't guess the route afterwards, and the sense of mystery is preserved to the greatest extent."

"So the billboards here don't have any spoilers, so that tourists can experience it themselves in the project."

Pei Qian nodded slightly, and he could barely accept this point.

After all, he had pulled the budget very high before, and restricted the height of the roller coaster from being too high. It was not surprising that Chen Kangtuo and the others thought of the idea of ​​an indoor roller coaster by diverging their thinking.

However, how exactly is their original IP original?

You still have to see it on the spot to know.

The sightseeing car continued to move forward, and soon saw the external scene of the indoor roller coaster project.

It was a little far away from the main park of Horror Hotel, and a lot of space was reserved in the middle, leaving a good expandability for the future.

If the roller coaster and the Horror Hotel park were close together, it would be very difficult to insert some other small projects or shops in the middle, and it would also appear very crowded and not so grand.

Horror Hotel is located in the old industrial area, which is also a key project supported by Jingzhou, so the location is not a problem.

Of course, this is just the apparent reason.

In fact, the reason why Pei Qian specially required the roller coaster to be as far away as possible from the original project of Horror Hotel when planning at the time was mainly because he was afraid that the traffic of Horror Hotel would also make the roller coaster popular, so he had to keep a distance.

Although there are various transportation tools in Horror Hotel, such as sightseeing cars and balance bikes, some people may still need to walk over if the traffic is relatively large.

If the projects in other parks are more compact, or there are other shops interspersed, then tourists can stroll and walk while experiencing it.

And here is just a lonely roller coaster, and there is nothing between the roller coaster and the original project of Horror Hotel, which is definitely a torment for tourists.

Pei Qian felt that this strategy should still play some role.

But after the sightseeing car drove for a while, Pei Qian suddenly felt something was wrong.

Why are there some more shops on this route?

These shops are diverse, including restaurants, cafes, and shops selling things, but their styles are relatively unified, and they match the overall style of Horror Hotel, and they don't appear abrupt at all, as if they should have been here in the first place.

In the middle of the route from Horror Hotel to the roller coaster project, there is also a relatively large store, which is also renovated and transformed from the previous factory building, and you can vaguely see the VR somatosensory equipment inside.

These shops are still under tense renovation and transformation. Although they are all using the original buildings of the old industrial area, they inevitably need to be greatly changed.

Just looking at the current progress, it should not be a big problem to open with the roller coaster project at the end of the month.

Pei Qian's face was full of doubts.

Something's wrong?

The situation seems to be a little different from what I imagined?

Pei Qian originally thought that these buildings would probably not be used in the short term. Chen Kangtuo would probably build a relatively simple wall on both sides of the road to guide the audience along the road to the roller coaster.

After all, Tengda doesn't have extra funds to renovate these buildings and build shops.

But now, on the road to the roller coaster, the large and small buildings are basically under construction in full swing, a scene of hustle and bustle.

Pei Qian suddenly had a bad feeling.

"Could it be again..."

Pei Qian's guess was soon confirmed, because he saw Li Shi's figure at the door of the largest store where he could see VR somatosensory equipment inside.
