The Legend of Tokyo Taoist

Chapter 249 New Plan (6)

This section of reasoning did not last long. After a brief pause, it turned into a situational drama. The exorcist played by Konishi Hirobe walked into the haunted house and began to check the internal structure of the house. In the conversation with his assistant, he gradually advanced the investigation process.

After investigating the house, the exorcist and his assistant did not resolve their doubts, but instead found more doubts, making the whole incident confusing. So in order to investigate the sounds coming from the haunted house late at night, they planned to come back at night.

When this video ended, the detective team began to discuss the information they found during the investigation.

Inuyama Heita sighed: "This show has really become more interesting. Director Tamura is amazing. He keeps us on suspense and makes us want to know what happens next."

Qian Xiaoyi smiled and said, "His arrangement is indeed very clever. Did you notice? The reason why he designed the detective team segment is not just to delay time or create an atmosphere, but to cleverly use this method to summarize and discuss the information hidden in the previous video, and then instill the information to the audience in this indirect way.

So even if the re-enactment video shows something very obscure, those viewers who don’t want to use their brains can still watch it with relish, and this session happens to have the same atmosphere as the previous discussion session of “Horror Night GO”, which can be regarded as taking care of different groups of viewers.”

"So everything revolves around the incident? The overall transition of the program is very natural, not abrupt at all, and it doesn't seem like a new project." Inuyama Heita turned his head to look at the TV and said, "Ah, the commercial time is over, and the next plot is finally going to be broadcast, right? It really makes me curious."

Qian Xiaoyi laughed inwardly: Curious? You're right to be curious. This is a valuable experience copied from a popular science program in China. What's more, the things that happened in it are true, and I have reviewed the details. It would be strange if it is not attractive. Hehehe, that program is more than that. There will be more fun things later~
On TV, the exorcist and his assistant waited until night, and after summarizing a lot of current information, they finally began to investigate those mysterious phenomena. They got the key, and as soon as they entered, something strange happened. Suddenly, a shrill scream came from inside the house!

Just as Inuyama Heita stared with anticipation, waiting for the truth to be revealed...

——The next episode preview appeared on the screen, and the narrator said: "What terrible things happened in this haunted house? Was it a curse left by the evil spirit, or was it just a prank as the convenience store manager said? Can our exorcist solve the mystery and subdue the 'evil spirit' in the house? In the next episode, the exorcist Mr. Xiaoxi and his assistant visit the haunted house late at night! Stay tuned!"

"Huh?" Inuyama Heita was stunned, and then he let out an even more confused sound: "Huh?!!! Is that the end?"

Qian Xiaoyi chuckled: "What else? Don't you feel that time passes super fast? An hour has passed without you noticing, and the show is over before you can even finish watching it? This is the importance of suspense."

Inuyama Heita protested, "This is too shameless, isn't it? We've been watching it for so long, and it's just going to end like this? We'll be scolded by the audience!"

Qian Xiaoyi asked: "It is normal to curse. But, apart from cursing, will you watch the next episode on time?"

Inuyama Heita was speechless for a few seconds, then nodded decisively: "Yes!"

"That's it!" Qian Xiaoyi said, "This is the essence of the new plan! Through the serialized format, we can increase the stickiness of the audience to ensure that the ratings of the program will not drop drastically. Even if some episodes are not well received, we can make up for it through subsequent adjustments."

Inuyama Heita sighed and said, "But I really want to know what happened next~ Brother O, do you know how torturous this feeling is?"

Qian Xiaoyi sneered: I don't know? I was tortured by that show for a long time when I was a kid! And every time I saw the ending, I couldn't help but want to punch the TV!
The blue ice falling from the sky is the waste from the airplane toilet, the carrots grew into white radishes but it was actually the wrong seeds that were bought, being abducted by aliens and appearing hundreds of kilometers away was actually sleepwalking in the car, the woman who can survive without drinking water drinks soup before meals, the dog screams every time it passes by the house because the wires are leaking...

In order to watch that show, he stayed in front of the TV on time every day. He was fooled by the program crew again and again, but he never got tired of it.

Later, when he grew up, he found out that the program was actually created by his colleagues from the cognitive school. He and Taoist Lingkong were familiar with each other. After entering the system, he had too much free time and had nothing to do, so he changed his career and started shooting science programs.

Of course, it is impossible to do that in Japan, where the atmosphere of superstition is much stronger. If the show keeps the audience in suspense for several episodes, and then tells them that there are actually wild cats in the house, the show will definitely be criticized. "Horror Night GO" is not like the domestic show, which has a reliable backstage. Once it is spurned by the audience, Director Tamura can only bow and apologize, and then pack up and leave.

Therefore, among the real events selected by Qian Xiaoyi, there are coincidences caused by human or natural factors, as well as real supernatural events. After all, this is the work of an exorcist. Before accepting the commission to conduct an investigation, they themselves do not know whether there are evil spirits waiting for them.

Therefore, it is normal even if there are fake evil spirits. True and false are the daily tasks of exorcists. I believe the audience can understand this, and even increase the suspense of the show through true and false supernatural events.

With so many elements, plus some adaptations that suit the social environment here, a brand new program was created.

"Then can you tell me the ending, brother?" Inuyama Heita couldn't help but ask, "Just tell me, I won't tell anyone else. If I don't know the truth, I won't be able to sleep at night."

Qian Xiaoyi smiled and said, "Keep it a secret. Who told you not to participate in the filming? So I can only tell you that as the first story of a brand new project, the ending of this incident is very exciting, so look forward to it."

"Ahhhh! I can't sleep anymore!" said Inuyama Heita distressed.

Qian Xiaoyi smiled, with a hint of worry in his eyes.

Although he appeared very confident, he himself had no idea how the broadcast would turn out. After all, he was not a professional in the television industry. He could only see if his reputation as a "psychic detective" was impressive enough and whether he could attract the audience.

Just as Qian Xiaoyi was about to go back to the office to check online for comments after the show was broadcast, his cell phone vibrated several times in a row.

Suzuki: [What happened in that room? Is it really a ghost? Tell me quickly! ]

Suzuki: [Tell me! Is this man-made?]

Suzuki: [It’s really concerning.]

Suzuki: [Are you there?]

Kawasaki: [Mr. Qian! Please tell me what happened next! Those are definitely evil spirits at work, right?]

Ono Haruna: [How can this be possible? It's too suspenseful! ]

Maria: [The show is very good. ]

Different people kept sending messages to my phone, asking about the follow-up of the show.

So Qian Xiaoyi couldn't help laughing, and even Maria, who didn't watch many supernatural shows, praised him. It seemed that the model of that show really worked.
