The Legend of Tokyo Taoist

Chapter 255 New Plan (12)

This proposal sounded so outrageous that the program planners were stunned: This is obviously an event organized by the enemy station, right? We are the program team of "Horror Night GO", and we are all senior predecessors of the other party. Isn't it a bit too embarrassing to participate in someone else's event?

Director Tamura thought about this proposal, and his eyes gradually lit up: "This seems... feasible!"

Qian Xiaoyi said, "Right? The original purpose of the other party using this 1000 million to hold an event was to attract the audience's attention, intercept the loss of popularity at the most important stage of our popularity rise, and hit our momentum. If they really succeed, then we may never have such a good opportunity again. This is the best time for the "Horror Night GO" program team to revive, and it must not be ruined."

Director Tamura added, "That's right, but compared to that, our program's budget is too small. The gimmick of 1000 million real money is more attractive than anything else. So no matter what activities our program team does on Halloween, we can't reverse the popularity unless we can come up with more money, but that's impossible."

"So we might as well take advantage of their popularity." A planner said excitedly, "If we can win the grand prize in their event, then the 1000 million they put out will be like publicity for us! It's just like Zhuge Liang's borrowing arrows from a straw boat during the Three Kingdoms period. It's really amazing! You are worthy of being Mr. Qian!"

The host Mutsu, who had been listening the whole time, asked worriedly, "But...how can we guarantee that we will win the grand prize? On the contrary, if we don't win the grand prize, the result will be that 'even the Horror Night GO production team was attracted by the prize money and lost completely.' In that case, it would be a huge embarrassment."

Qian Xiaoyi said, "But there is no better way, right? If we hold an event in Shibuya and no fans attend, and everyone goes to the other party's event, it will still be awkward and the result will be the same. So if we want to break the deadlock, we can only take advantage of the situation."

"But……"

Director Tamura made the final decision: "Okay, stop arguing! This Halloween plan has been decided! We will listen to Mr. Qian, and our production team will also participate in his activities! Anyway, there is no rule that forbids us from participating, right? I have already thought of the name of this operation, it is called..."

“——【Mission Impossible】.”

……

"Hey hey hey!!! Are you going to participate in the "Phantom Fantasy Night" event? 1000 million yen?!"

In Lingkong Office, when Inuyama Heita heard the news, he was surprised to hear that he was going to participate in the activities of the enemy station and the 1000 million yen prize money. He asked, "Let's not talk about whether the other party can let the program team here participate, just if someone sees your faces, they will be on guard, right?"

Qian Xiaoyi said, "Don't worry. The event has already stipulated that participants must dress up as ghosts, so as long as you dress up well, you don't have to worry about being seen by others. Besides, the 1000 million is not for one person. Take a look at the event rules above."

Inuyama Heita looked at the laptop screen, and the rules of the event were clearly stated on the web page.

The first rule is that participants must dress up as ghosts, which has just been mentioned.

In addition, the rules also require that the participants' actions must be consistent with the ghost character they are dressed up as, because the "ghost" to be found will also be like this, and will only follow its own character to talk to others. The more the participants dress up and behave like ghosts, the more likely the staff of "Haunted Night" will find him to communicate and provide clues. Then there are the reward rules. There are two types of rewards for the event. One is the "Best Dress Award", which has a prize pool of 500 million yen. The "Haunted Night" program team will select 10 participants with the best dress that night and present this award. There is 1 first prize, 3 second prizes, and 6 third prizes.

The other prize is to find the ghost played by the staff through clues and then get the token. After the event is over, the person with the most tokens will share the remaining 500 million rewards according to the number of tokens he holds.

"It looks like fun~" Inuyama Heita asked, "But won't they do something in secret and only arrange for their own people to win the prize?"

Qian Xiaoyi said, "Their goal is traffic. If they really do that for a little bit of profit, Horror Night GO is very willing to add fuel to the fire and teach them a painful lesson. So as long as they are smart, they won't leave any handle for their opponents. Besides, the show "Phantom Night" is also very wealthy. The annual super project must have a higher budget than usual. It's not outrageous to spend the money of two episodes to make one episode."

"I have another question." Inuyama Heita asked, "What about the costumes? Will it be arranged by the program team?"

Qian Xiaoyi shook his head. "It's the program team's side, but not mine. In order to avoid the news that our program team is also going to participate in the other party's event being exposed, I decided not to ask the program team for help in dressing up, but to do it myself. Then they won't know what I look like, and we will only communicate through the headset."

Inuyama Heita asked, "Come by yourself? Are you planning to wear your own Taoist robes and dress up as a Taoist priest?"

Qian Xiaoyi rolled his eyes. "If I wear a Taoist robe, it's not a costume. It's formal attire. And the rules state that only 'ghosts' can participate, and they have to abide by their own character settings. If I wear a Taoist robe, won't I be besieged by a bunch of 'ghosts'? And it's not just me, you have to help too, there are other people as well. The more people of our own who participate in this event, the better."

"Goblin... do we know how to put on makeup? Do we make our clothes by ourselves?" Inuyama Heita asked, "When I went to the comic convention with Ken some time ago, many people made their own COS costumes. Do you know how to make them yourself? Or do you buy clothes online temporarily? But wouldn't that make the costumes too ordinary?"

Qian Xiaoyi smiled and said, "Don't worry, we'll go find a professional."

This weekend, Qian Xiaoyi brought a group of high school students from the Supernatural Department to a place they had not seen for a long time.

"Mr. Qian! Long time no see!" Takahashi, the manager of the haunted house [House of Horror], came out, shook Qian Xiaoyi's hand warmly, and said, "Thanks to you, this theme is also very successful!"

The horror house has been completely transformed. This season's new theme has changed from campus supernatural to Chinese horror. The long queue of people visiting the house shows how well decorated it is. Manager Takahashi himself dressed up as a Qing Dynasty zombie, with a green face and fangs, and came out to greet people without even removing the talisman on his head.

Qian Xiaoyi smiled and said, "No, no, I'll leave the dressing up to you, store manager."
