Chapter 1741: Chapter 1589: Otherworldly Entertainment Tycoon 19 (4,000 Words)_2
Honestly, Jian Shuangshuang never expected the horror effect to be so severe. She thought the movie wasn’t that scary, but she still underestimated people’s tolerance for horror films in this world.
What made Jian Shuangshuang laugh ironically the most was that Zang Lin, the Mystic Doctor brought in to calm the crowd, was actually the first to be scared stiff, still with weak hands and feet.
Fortunately, no one was truly frightened to the point of disaster. If someone had been scared out of their wits, with Zang Lin like this, he really couldn’t be counted on.
Zang Lin felt embarrassed too. He was someone who practiced cultivation and was not unfamiliar with ghosts and gods. He had even once helped catch a mischievous ghost.
But he just didn’t know why, seeing the ghost in the movie made his hair stand on end, drenched him in cold sweat, and made him uncontrollably want to scream. It was just so darn terrifying!
Besides Zang Lin and the audience who came to watch, the shop assistants were also scared out of their wits. They now completely understood why the former shopkeeper, such a formidable woman, had been scared like that.
The two assistants who had almost been slapped to death by the shopkeeper had been avoiding the shopkeeper these past two days, afraid she’d go insane and attack someone again.
Now the two suddenly understood why Zhen Shu had acted like that. If they had just watched this terrifying movie and someone suddenly barged through the door, their first reaction would also be to attack back.
Out of curiosity about the horror film, many people were waiting outside the restaurant, and some who left earlier returned at the exact hour, gathering in a large crowd.
Finally, as the hour ended, the restaurant doors opened, and one by one, pale-faced, weak-kneed shop assistants came out.
Soon, the people who had gone in to watch the movie also started coming out one after another, with some needing to be supported due to their pallor.
Some looked listless while others seemed okay. Of course, there were a few who, though pale, appeared strangely excited.
The people waiting outside saw those emerging and curiously approached to ask, "Hey there, miss, what’s going on in there? Was the movie really that scary?"
The young woman, utterly terrified, suddenly shared the same thought as Zhen Shu at this moment: It felt like a loss to be scared senseless alone.
With a mysterious look, she shook her head at the person asking her: "I can’t say, can’t say, you have to go in and experience it yourself."
After saying this, the young woman patted the person’s shoulder across from her, smiling mischievously: "Go in and have a look, brother, it’ll definitely be a new experience and won’t disappoint you."
At the same time, similar conversations arose among others, as many held the thought: if I was scared, you should be too.
Inside the building, Jian Shuangshuang and Zhen Shu were busy collecting the reward money with their group. Since they had borrowed Zhen Shu’s restaurant, causing her to suspend business.
As compensation, Jian Shuangshuang had agreed in advance that the tips from this time would be evenly split. Zhen Shu initially didn’t want to agree and only asked for twenty percent. Jian Shuangshuang argued back and forth with her, and they finally agreed on a 70-30 split, seventy for herself, thirty for Zhen Shu.
Originally, Jian Shuangshuang hadn’t expected to earn much from this horror film. Her goal was simply to help people understand what a movie is, and because making such horror films was cost-effective.
Jian Shuangshuang didn’t expect that people, even in their daze from being scared, would still remember to tip generously.
Jian Shuangshuang noticed several dozen gold coins mixed among the copper coins, which was incredible.
Wasn’t everyone screaming like banshees? They all said they wouldn’t come to watch again, but tipped so generously, did they like it or not? Jian Shuangshuang was deeply puzzled!
Just then, a Purple Gold Coin suddenly landed in the box for gold and silver coins beside Jian Shuangshuang, and she was stunned to see it was given by Zang Lin.
Jian Shuangshuang remembered that Zang Lin had been the most frightened one, still looking pale, yet giving such a lavish tip.
Seeing the confusion in Jian Shuangshuang’s eyes, Zang Lin, a little embarrassed, wiped his face. Being scared to the point of ghostly cries was truly shameful.
He coughed awkwardly: "Although your movie was a bit scary, it was quite thrilling and interesting. You should make more in the future. If money is an issue, you can let me know."
