Chapter 527 - Golden Maze (2/2)

“As for why the maze has to be expensive… I think it might be because Boss Pei is going for a ‘golden maze’ style. It makes one feel as if they’re surrounded by all sorts of treasures. Without even meaning to, the maze would display to everyone else the value of the products inside the mall.

“It’ll be just like luxury shops. Why did they have to renovate their shops so extensively? It was to create a subtle atmosphere to make customers feel as if they were walking around in a palace. Only then would they think that the valuables in front of them were worth buying and being worn. Customers would then be unable to resist the urge to purchase them. “The facts have shown that, to achieve such an effect, one has to stick to the dazzling and grandiose styles.

“That way, the Thriller Hostel can say this for publicity: in the faraway Thriller Hostel, if you make it through the thrilling, frightening, and horrifying experience and make it out of the splendorous and majestic golden maze; you would find the hidden treasure!”

Chen Kangtuo’s eyes lit up. “I see! “Before this, I kept interpreting Boss Pei’s plan in terms of games, and I already thought that the design was not bad. Now, after hearing Teacher Liang talk about it from an architectural and psychological point of view, everything makes more sense! “Boss Pei actually considered this from an architect’s perspective? He’s really knowledgeable.

“Since that’s the case, let’s just call the shopping mall the Golden Maze. Then, not only would it be a shopping mall, but it would also be a free amusement project within Thriller Hostel. We’ll be killing two birds with one stone!

“Mr. Liang, this is urgent. I’ll leave the Golden Maze’s design to you! I’ll pay your designer fees according to Tengda’s standards!”

Chen Kangtuo gazed at Liang Qingfan warmly.

Liang Qingfan pondered for a moment and then said, “Of course, I can design it, but… after some time, Boss Pei will get me to design the new Sloth Apartments. I’m afraid I won’t be able to keep an eye on this project all the way through.”

Shi Zherui patted his chest. “No worries. Mr. Liang, you just have to come up with the design. Let Boss Li and the others look for a construction team to watch over the construction. I can help to keep an eye on it,

too.

“However… if we run into problems that I cannot solve in the future, we would still need you to come down personally.” Liang Qingfan nodded. “That’s alright. Even if I’m in charge of the Sloth Apartments, I will be in Jingzhou. I can come over at any time.”

Chen Kangtuo was elated. “We’ll leave this to you, then, Mr. Liang!”

May 25th, Wednesday…

Pei Qian browsed the webpage quietly, looking very confused. Things had developed beyond his expectations.

Tomorrow is Beautiful was covering the entire internet once again!

The last time this happened was when Tomorrow is Beautiful first premiered in the country and became popular. One month after the movie premiered, it featured on Aili Island for over a month. That was already an extension of its life.

Everyone who wanted to watch it had already watched it. The entire plot and various details in the movie had already been discussed countless times. Logically, it should not have been this popular anymore.

Yet, Pei Qian never thought that one award would bring the movie back into focus!

This time, local netizens were no longer focusing on the film itself. After all, they had already studied the film’s contents to the point of exhaustion. Instead, netizens focused on the film’s performance in overseas box offices and foreigners’ reviews! On top of that, many people online were resoundingly ‘digging graves’.

Ever since Tomorrow is Beautiful premiered, people who hated the film never stopped dissing it. Some of those people were fake reviewers, but a significant number of them were genuine.

After all, no matter how good something was, it was impossible for everyone to like it. What’s more, those who loved popcorn flicks were generally uninterested in studying the meaning of Tomorrow is Beautiful.

Further, the loud praise that the movie had been getting online had the reverse effect on others, who thought that the film was overrated and had to be dissed.

As time went by, those dissers points kept changing When the movie first premiered, they said that the film had forced a Western background into the story, that it was nondescript, and that neither locals nor foreigners would like it.

When the film’s figures started looking good, they said that its profoundness was fake, that it only became popular because of sales, that the box office was probably faking the numbers, and that the film’s true colors would show in about a week.

After some time, when the high figures were stuck and overtook Flying Star Journey, they said that once a real blockbuster appeared, Tomorrow is Beautiful would collapse for sure. Once Flying Star Journey failed, they said that Flying Star Journey was too rubbish, that it was not representative of the real standard of Western movies, that Tomorrow is Beautiful had just been released at the right time, and that it would not have achieved such success otherwise.

When Tomorrow is Beautiful premiered overseas and did badly in the box offices, the dissers appeared again. “Look, I said that the film was nondescript. It could bluff the local audience, but foreigners would not fall for it!” Tomorrow is Beautiful’s fans had been keeping their frustration in for a long time. The dissers were extremely peculiar and aggressive in going against the current. What’s more, they appeared with every minor development and refused to be eliminated.

This was especially so when Tomorrow is Beautiful did badly in overseas box offices. The dissers rubbed this loss in the faces of the film’s fans for a long time, causing them to boil in anger.

Yet, now, Tomorrow is Beautiful had been awarded the Jury Prize for the first time in eleven years. The entire situation had turned! Could the fans let the opportunity to gloat pass them by?

Their ‘loss’ had been rubbed in their faces for so long. Now, they were getting a rare opportunity to fight back. Of course, they had to prepare a mass grave for all of those dissers. At once, they released the deep-seated hatred that they had for the dissers. This caused Tomorrow is Beautiful to become popular throughout the internet once again!

A movie that premiered in February was still so hot today… Pei Qian was really f*cking unlucky!
