Chen Kangtuo was looking anxiously at the entrance of the old industrial zone.
Suddenly, he saw a taxi parked outside and a young man got out of the car.
For a moment, Chen Kangtuo was a little afraid to step forward, because he knew that the person he was going to meet today was an architect named Liang, and he was relatively young, but the person who came looked too young.
But then I thought about it, the two of them made an appointment yesterday, and it seems like no one else will come over?
Chen Kangtuo hesitated for a moment before quickly stepping forward: "Mr. Liang?"
Liang Qingfan nodded: "Yes, is it Mr. Chen?"
"Really Mr. Liang? Hello, hello!"
Chen Kangtuo happily shook hands with Liang Qingfan, and then the two of them 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 who was responsible for the Jingtang Hotel project with me. This is Shi Zherui, the designer who is currently responsible for the renovation and decoration of the Jingtang Hotel."
Liang Qingfan greeted each other, especially Shi Zherui, who were both architects and had many topics in common.
Shi Zherui is a very capable young architect in Jingzhou. He is one year older than Liang Qingfan, but his academic qualifications and resume are not as impressive as Liang Qingfan's.
As for why Pei Qian chose him to be responsible for the Terror Hostel project...it was obviously for the same reason as Liang Qingfan, that is, he did not want to find an architect who was too famous to build the Terror Hostel project, so as not to bring too much trouble to the Terror Hostel project.
necessary visibility and popularity.
Chen Kangtuo poured a cup of tea: "Mr. Liang, you really provided me with timely help and relieved my urgent need."
Liang Qingfan was stunned: "Oh? How do you say this?"
Chen Kangtuo gently placed the hot tea in front of Liang Qingfan: "It's a long story. The Panic Hostel is an amusement project led by Mr. Pei in response to the call to transform the old industrial area. You should know this, right?
A group of investors were also inspired by Mr. Pei to invest in this area."
"This group of investors proposed to take the initiative to build a large shopping mall for Mr. Pei and the Panic Hostel to sell related peripherals and other props. We made a plan and they paid for it."
"So I asked Teacher Shi to make a relatively common shopping mall design, and I planned to make it according to this."
"But, Pei always likes to strive for excellence! He sent an email yesterday, saying that we must design this mall into a maze!"
Shi Zherui took over the conversation: "I was confused when I heard Mr. Chen talk about this. I originally thought, could flowers be made into something like this in a shopping mall? So I made a more conventional plan first, but I never expected that,
Mr. Pei is not satisfied!"
"But now, I am also responsible for the construction of the Frightening Hotel. I have to keep an eye on it. If there are problems, I have to change the plan at any time. The time is already very tight. President Pei actually asked to build a maze, which is even more difficult."
"I don't have much in-depth research on mazes, and I don't have any skills at the moment! So... this matter has come to a standstill, and Mr. Chen is worried."
Chen Kangtuo nodded: "Yes, fortunately Mr. Liang is here! Mr. Liang, do you have any good ideas about this plan?"
Liang Qingfan raised his eyebrows.
Make the mall a maze?
What a bold idea!
I'm afraid Mr. Pei is the only one in the world who can come up with such an unconstrained idea, right?
Liang Qingfan took a sip of tea and asked: "What did Mr. Pei say specifically? I have some ideas about Maze, but the premise is that you must understand Mr. Pei's needs and don't get it wrong."
Chen Kangtuo laughed and said proudly: "Don't worry, I am an old employee from Tenda Games. I am quite experienced in understanding Mr. Pei's needs!"
"Mr. Pei mentioned two points in the email. First, it should be expensive, elegant, and resplendent, in the style of many luxury stores; the other is to hide most of the peripheral goods stores in a maze, so that
After entering, most customers inadvertently walk out of the exit and can't even find the store."
"Let me first interpret what Mr. Pei means from my perspective. If you think there are other aspects, you can add more."
"I think Mr. Pei's idea of a 'maze' must be related to the game! Just like the collection elements in many games, hiding various collection props makes players have to look for them repeatedly, which can extend their time well.
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 create a psychological suggestion. After finally finding it, they have to buy something casually, right? Otherwise, wouldn't they lose money? In this way,
It can also be a good way to promote consumption."
“It would be better if each store regularly changes the products and small gifts for punching in.”
"As for why decoration is expensive, I haven't figured it out yet."
Liang Qingfan nodded slightly and gently stroked the teacup with his right hand: "Well, it's certainly no problem that the design of the 'maze' can extend the player's play time, but from an architect's perspective, there should be some other considerations."
"Mr. Pei said that he came out of the exit accidentally, which shows that there are many exits in this maze, which means that crowded people can be diverted, improve the shopping experience of tourists, and ensure that in the event of an emergency, tourists can
Evacuate quickly.”
"Moreover, making a maze means zoning, and in architectural design, zoning can greatly improve space utilization. On the surface, it seems that the cost will be higher, but in fact it is a manifestation of long-term vision."
"I think the walls of some key nodes of the maze can be made movable. If they are closed, the road will be blocked, and if they are opened, there will be an additional passage. After making it automatic, the maze terrain will be automatically generated through computer algorithms, and the maze terrain will be automatically generated every once in a while.
Just changing it once can keep tourists feeling fresh about this place."
"Of course, for safety reasons, manual control must also be allowed, and there should be someone on duty at all times. Even if there is an emergency such as a power outage, it must be ensured that tourists can find the exit quickly and will not be trapped."
"As for why it's expensive... I think it's because Mr. Pei likes 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."
"Like many luxury stores, why do they have to make the decoration so exaggerated? It is to create an atmosphere that makes you feel as if you are in a palace, and the exquisite jewelry in front of you can only be worn by the royal family.
Things, then you can’t help but want to pay for them.”
"Facts have proven that if you want to achieve this effect, this kind of golden rich and exaggerated style is the best way to achieve this effect."
"In this way, when the Panic Hotel is promoted, we can say: In the distant and terrifying Panic Hotel, as long as you pass the thrilling and terrifying test and get out of the magnificent golden maze, you can find the buried treasure!"
Chen Kangtuo's eyes brightened: "That's it!"
"Before, I just answered Mr. Pei's idea from the perspective of game design, and I already thought the design was very good. Now that Teacher Liang explains it from the perspective of architectural design and psychology, it makes more sense!"
"Mr. Pei has actually considered this issue from an architectural perspective? He is really knowledgeable."
"In this case, let's just call this mall the Golden Maze. Then it can be used as a mall and a free tour project in the Frightened Hotel. Kill two birds with one stone!"
"Mr. Liang, the matter is urgent, and the design of the golden maze will be left to you! We will pay you the design fee according to Tengda 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... Mr. Pei will ask me to design a new sloth apartment in a while. I'm afraid I won't be able to keep an eye on the whole process."
Shi Zherui patted his chest: "It's okay, Mr. Liang, you just need to come up with the design plan. For the construction, Mr. Li and the others can ask the construction team, and I can help keep an eye on it."
"But...if you encounter a problem that cannot be solved, you have to come over in person."
Liang Qingfan nodded: "That's easy to say. Even if I have to be in charge of the Sloth Apartment, I will definitely be in Jingzhou and I can come over at any time."
Chen Kangtuo was very happy: "Then I'll leave everything to Mr. Liang!"

Wednesday, May 25th.
Pei Qian silently browsed the web page with a blank expression on his face.
The development of the situation was somewhat beyond his expectation.
The entire Internet was once again flooded with "Better Tomorrow"!
The last time this kind of event happened was when "A Better Tomorrow" was released in China and just became popular.
One month after the movie was released, it continued to be shown on Ellie Island for more than a month, which was a long enough time.
I have already seen everything I want to see, and the plot and various details in the movie have been discussed countless times. Logically speaking, the heat should have passed.
As a result, I never expected that once I won the award this time, my attention would come back!
This time, the focus of domestic netizens is no longer on the film itself. After all, the content of the film has been thoroughly studied.
Netizens are more concerned about the movie’s overseas box office performance and how foreigners evaluate it!
Not only that, there was also a vigorous "grave-digging" movement on the Internet.
Since the release of "Better Tomorrow", people have been criticizing the movie.
Some of these sunspots are trolls, 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 "A Better Tomorrow".
Coupled with the praise from many people across the Internet, it is easy to inspire some people's rebellious psychology, feeling that this film has obviously been over-praised and must be criticized.
As time goes by, the dark spots of these people are constantly changing.
When it was first released, it was said that the movie forcibly used a Western story background, which was nondescript and would not appeal to either Chinese or foreigners;
After it was released, the box office data were good, and it was said that the movie was actually fake, and its popularity was all due to marketing. The box office was probably watered down, and its true colors were revealed within a week at most;
After a period of time, the box office was still strong, but just in time for the release of "Flying Star", it was said that the real blockbuster was coming, and "Better Tomorrow" was about to be banned;
After "Flying Stars" hit the market, they said that "Flying Stars" was too rubbish and could not represent the true level of Western movies. "Better Tomorrow" just happened to be in a good time slot, otherwise it would not have such a box office;
After "Better Tomorrow" was released overseas, it opened poorly at the box office and had almost no response. The scumbags came out again: Look, just say that this film is nondescript, and it will fool the domestic audience. Foreigners don't care at all.
Eat this set!
Fans of "Better Tomorrow" have been waiting for a long time. The key is that these sunspots are attacking against the wind. Their yin and yang energy is too strong, and they jump out at the slightest movement. There is no way to kill them all.
In particular, "Better Tomorrow" did not perform well at the overseas box office, which caused fans to be ridiculed by the scumbags for a while and made them feel angry.
But now, "Better Tomorrow" has won the Jury Prize again after eleven years, and the situation has reversed in an instant!
How could fans let go of this opportunity?
You've been bullied by the black men for so long. Now you finally have a chance to fight back. Why don't you dig up all the ancestral graves of the black men?
The hatred inspired by the sunspots rebounded strongly in a short period of time, which directly caused the popularity of "Better Tomorrow" to surge and once again hit the screen!
A movie released in February is still so popular...
