Fright Hostel.
Chen Kangtuo was looking anxiously at the entrance of the old industrial area.
Suddenly, he saw a taxi parked outside and a young man got out of the car.
For a while, Chen Kangtuo was a little afraid to come forward, because he knew that the architect surnamed Liang was going to meet with him today, and he was relatively young, but the one who came here seemed too young.
But on second thought, the two of them made an appointment yesterday, and it seems that no one else will come over
Chen Kangtuo hesitated for a while before stepping forward: "Mr. Liang?"
Liang Qingfan nodded: "Yes, is that President Chen?"
"It's really Mr. Liang? Hello, hello!"
Chen Kangtuo happily shook hands with Liang Qingfan, and then the two returned to Chen Kangtuo's office.
As soon as he entered, two people in the office stood up from the sofa to greet him.
Chen Kangtuo said to Liang Qingfan: "Mr. Liang, let me introduce you. This is Hao Qiong, my colleague in charge of the Fright Hostel project with me, and this is Shi Zherui, the designer who is currently in charge of the renovation and decoration of the Fright Hostel."
Liang Qingfan greeted the two of them, especially Shi Zherui, who were both architects and had a lot of common topics.
Shi Zherui is a powerful young architect in Jingzhou. He is one year older than Liang Qingfan, but his education and resume are not as bright as Liang Qingfan.
As for why Pei Qian chose him to be in charge of the Fright Hostel project... Obviously, it was also out of the same consideration as Liang Qingfan, that is, he didn't want to find too famous architects to build the Fright Hostel project, so as not to bring too much unnecessary to the Fright Hostel project. popularity and popularity.
Chen Kangtuo poured a cup of tea: "Mr. Liang, you really helped me in the snow, and solved my urgent need."
Liang Qingfan was taken aback: "Oh? How do you say this?"
Chen Kangtuo put the hot tea gently in front of Liang Qingfan: "It's a long story. The Horror Hostel is an amusement project built by President Pei in response to the call to transform the old industrial area. You should know this? A group of investors were also inspired by President Pei to invest in this neighborhood."
"These investors proposed that they should take the initiative to build a large shopping mall for President Pei and Jingji Hostel to sell related peripherals and other props. We made the plan, and they paid."
"So I asked Mr. Shi to make a relatively common shopping mall design, and I planned to do it according to this."
"But Pei is always a man who likes to keep improving! He sent an email yesterday saying that we must design this mall into a maze!"
Shi Zherui took over the conversation: "I was also stunned when I heard Mr. Chen say this. I thought, can something like a shopping mall be able to make money? I made a more conventional plan first. I never expected that, President Pei is not satisfied!"
"But now, I'm also responsible for the construction of the Horror Hostel. I have to keep an eye on it. If there is a problem, I have to change the plan at any time. The time is very tight; President Pei even asked to make a maze, which is even more difficult."
"I don't have much in-depth research on mazes, and I don't know how to do it now! So... this matter froze, and President Chen is worried."
Chen Kangtuo nodded: "Yes, fortunately, Mr. Liang is here! Mr. Liang, do you have any good ideas for this plan?"
Liang Qingfan raised his brows.
Turn the mall into a maze
What a bold idea!
In this world, I am afraid that only President Pei can come up with such a wild idea, right
Liang Qingfan took a sip of tea and asked, "What exactly did President Pei say? I have some ideas about the maze, but the premise is that we must understand President Pei's needs. Don't get me wrong."
Chen Kangtuo laughed and said proudly: "Don't worry, I'm an old employee from Tenda Games, and I still have a lot of experience in understanding President Pei's needs!"
"Mr. Pei mentioned two points in the email. The first is that it is expensive, elegant and splendid, and it is built according to the style of many luxury stores; After most of the customers got in, they walked out of the exit without noticing, and they couldn't even find the store."
"I'll first interpret President Pei's meaning from my point of view. If you think there are other aspects, you can add more."
"I think the idea of Mr. Pei's 'maze' must be related to the game! Just like the collection elements in many games, to hide various collection items, players have to search repeatedly, which can prolong their life. play time.”
"At the same time, when players find a hidden store, it is equivalent to finding a hidden merchant in the game. This will actually cause a kind of psychological suggestion. If you finally find it, you have to buy something casually, right? Otherwise, isn't it a loss? It can also promote consumption very well.”
"It would be even better if stores regularly changed their punch-in merchandise and small gifts."
"As for why the decoration is expensive, I haven't figured it out yet."
Liang Qingfan nodded slightly, and gently stroked the teacup with his right hand: "Well, the design of the 'maze' can prolong the player's playing time. There is no problem, but from the perspective of an architect, there should be some other considerations."
"Mr. Pei said that he came out of the exit inadvertently, indicating that there are many exits in this maze, which means that crowded people can be diverted to improve the shopping experience of tourists, and at the same time to ensure that in case of emergency, tourists can Evacuate quickly."
"Moreover, making a labyrinth means zoning. In architectural design, zoning can greatly improve space utilization. On the surface, it seems that the cost will increase, but it is actually a long-term performance."
"I think the walls of some key nodes in the maze can be made movable, and it will be impossible to get through if they are closed, and there will be an extra channel when they are opened. After making automatic control, the maze terrain will be automatically generated by computer algorithms, and the maze terrain will be automatically generated at regular intervals. Just change it once, and it can always keep tourists fresh.”
"Of course, for the sake of safety, manual control is also allowed, and there are people on duty to watch at all times. Even in emergencies such as power outages, it is necessary to ensure that tourists can quickly find the exit and will not be trapped."
"As for why it's expensive... I think, does President Pei like the style of the golden maze? It gives people the feeling that there are treasures everywhere, which invisibly highlights the value of the goods inside."
"Just like many luxury stores, why do you make the decoration so exaggerated? It is to create an atmosphere that makes you feel like you are in a palace, and the exquisite jewelry in front of you is only worn by the royal family. Things, then you can't help but want to pay for them."
"It turns out that if you want to achieve this effect, it's still the best use of this golden local tyrant."
"In this way, when the Horror Hotel is advertised, it can be said: In the far-off, terrifying Horror Hotel, as long as you pass the thrilling and terrifying test and walk out of the magnificent golden labyrinth, you can find the buried treasure!"
Chen Kangtuo's eyes brightened: "So it is!"
"Before, I just answered Mr. Pei's ideas from the perspective of game design. I already think this design is very good. Now it makes more sense to listen to Mr. Liang's interpretation of architectural design and psychology!"
"President Pei has also considered this issue from the perspective of architecture? The knowledge is really profound."
"If that's the case, let's just call this mall the Golden Maze. At that time, it can be used as both a mall and a free tour in the Horror Hostel, killing two birds with one stone!"
"Mr. Liang, the matter is urgent, the design of the golden maze will be handed over to you! We will pay you the design fee according to Tenda standards!"
Chen Kangtuo looked at Liang Qingfan with eager eyes.
Liang Qingfan thought for a while: "Of course there is no problem with the design, but... Boss Pei will ask me to design a new sloth apartment after a while. I'm afraid I won't be able to follow the whole process."
Shi Zherui patted his chest: "It's okay, Mr. Liang, you only need to come up with a design plan. For the construction, you can ask Mr. Li and the others to find the construction team, and I can also help to watch."
"But... if you encounter problems that cannot be solved, you have to come over in person."
Liang Qingfan nodded: "It's easy to say, even if I'm in charge of the sloth apartment, I'm definitely in Jingzhou, and I can come over at any time."
Chen Kangtuo was very happy: "Then leave everything to Mr. Liang!"

Wednesday, May 25.
Pei Qian browsed the webpage silently, with a blank expression on his face.
The development of the situation was somewhat unexpected to him.
The whole network has been swiped by "Better Tomorrow" once again!
The last time such a grand event occurred was when "Better Tomorrow" was released in China, when it just became popular.
A month after the movie was released, it went on to air on Ellie Island for more than a month, and the time has been stretched long enough.
I have seen everything I want to see, and the plot and various details in the movie have been discussed countless times. It stands to reason that the popularity should pass.
As a result, I never expected that once I won the award this time, the attention came back!
This time, the focus of domestic netizens is no longer on the film itself. After all, the content of the film has been researched.
Netizens are more concerned about the film's overseas box office performance and foreigners' evaluation of it!
Not only that, but there has also been a vigorous "grave digging" movement on the Internet.
From the beginning of the release of "Better Tomorrow", the people who criticized the film have not stopped.
Some of these sunspots are sailors, but many are real sunspots.
After all, no matter how good something is, it is impossible for everyone to like it, not to mention that many people who like to watch popcorn movies have no interest in studying the various connotations in "Better Tomorrow".
Coupled with the praise from many people on the Internet, it is easy to inspire some people's rebellious psychology, feeling that this film has obviously been overrated and must be hacked.
Over time, the black spots of these people are constantly changing.
When it was first released, it was said that the movie forced the use of a Western story background, which was nondescript and neither attracted the liking of Chinese people nor foreigners;
After the release, the box office data is good, and it is said that this film is actually pseudo-profound, and its popularity depends entirely on marketing.
After a period of time, the box office was still strong, but it finally caught up with the release of "Flying Star Journey", and said that the real blockbuster is coming, and "Better Tomorrow" is about to be hanged;
After "Flying Star Journey" hit the street, he said that "Flying Star Journey" was too rubbish and could not represent the true level of Western movies, and "Better Tomorrow" just happened to occupy a good time, otherwise there would be no such box office;
After "Better Tomorrow" was released overseas, the box office was not good, and there was almost no response, and the sunspots appeared again: Look, if you say this film is nondescript, you will fool domestic audiences, and foreigners don't. Eat this set!
The fans of "Better Tomorrow" have been holding back for a long time. The key is that these sunspots are going against the wind and the yin and yang are too fierce, and they jump out with a little movement. There is no way to kill them all.
In particular, the poor overseas box office of "Better Tomorrow" has caused fans to be ridiculed by the sunspots for a long time, and they are full of fire.
But now, "Better Tomorrow" won the Jury Prize again after 11 years, and the situation has reversed in an instant!
How could fans miss this opportunity
After being ridden by the sunspots for so long, this time I finally caught the opportunity to fight back. Haven't we cleaned up the ancestral graves of the sunspots
The hatred inspired by the sunspots rebounded strongly in a very short period of time, which directly caused the popularity of "Better Tomorrow" to soar and refresh the screen again!
A movie released in February still has such a hot popularity...
Pei Qian said, it's really a dog!
