Chapter 563 Short Video!
Donna had just finished speaking when her phone rang.
Brandon's urgent and scared voice came through loudly, "Donna, what should I do? The person who asked me to pretend to be a ghost at Rigal Sports Complex last time called me again! I remember you said that person was from the Young family. If I refuse, will they..."
Donna frowned. "Brandon, don't panic, take it slow! You know I'm good friends with the chairman of Maple Group. As for the Young family, we don't need to be afraid of them!"
She glanced over at Ryder as she turned the call volume to the maximum.
At the same time, Brandon's voice came through, "With you saying that, I feel relieved!"
"So, the person from the Young family called me just now and asked me to continue promoting the haunted rumors at Rigal Sports Complex! They offered me a hundred thousand dollars!"
"What should I say to them? I can't really agree, right? After all, the stadium land now belongs to Maple Group."
"Agree! Why not make money?" Donna said without hesitation.
"Huh?" Brandon was confused.
Donna smirked, "Isn't it just promoting the haunted rumors at Rigal Sports Complex? Let's go there and perform, make short videos as promotional clips, how about that?"
On the other end, Brandon let out another "huh?"
He then swallowed and said, "Donna, you haven't been drinking tonight, have you?"
Otherwise, why would she be talking nonsense?
"I'm not drunk!" Donna snorted and continued, "Reply to the Young family like this: say we will promote through short video series, but the price, a hundred thousand dollars is not enough, ten times that, one million dollars! Ask if they agree"
"Just do as I say! As for the result, let's wait and see!"
"Alright then!" Brandon agreed, still confused.
The next day, the one million dollars was credited.
Donna, Brandon, and their team got to work immediately.
Over the next twenty days, Donna, Brandon, and their team shot more than ten horror short series.
Each series had about ten episodes, each episode three to four minutes long.
They bought a DSLR camera and some costumes and props, using Rigal Sports Complex as a natural filming location.
The output of the short series was very high!
Moreover, because of the high investment of one million US dollars, the post-editing and dubbing were done very well.
The entire short series had a strong sense of horror and immersion!
The first short series attracted a large number of fans when it was uploaded to various platforms.
The second short series gained over a hundred thousand fans.
The third short series...
Up to now, more than ten horror short series have been released, and they have over seven million loyal fans!
A great success!
However, some were happy while others were worried.
The Young Group, in the CEO's office.
Constantine called Tyler in and angrily questioned, "What is going on? When Rigal Sports Complex was still in our hands, the haunted rumors scared the workers, and the market value kept dropping!"
"Now, a web celebrity named Donna is filming horror movies at Rigal Sports Complex. Your attempt to promote the haunted rumors has turned into free advertising for them!"
"I heard that recently Maple Group has arranged for workers to work inside the stadium, planning to create a horror-themed amusement park!"
"If this trend continues, this piece of land we despised will become the hottest property in Aurora City! Our Young family will become a laughingstock!"
The more Constantine spoke, the angrier he got. He threw the tablet in his hand in front of Tyler and snorted, "Ghosts? There are none. Look for yourself! I think you were pranked last time!"
Tyler picked up the tablet.
On it were the horror short series filmed by Donna and her team—
Tens of millions of views.
Over a million likes.
Hundreds of thousands of saves.
Tens of thousands of shares.
In the short video world, it was a very popular type!
"Dad, don't be angry! I'm still investigating this matter!" Tyler tried to calm Constantine.
Could he say that he was the one who invested in the horror short videos?
No! Definitely not!
Otherwise, Constantine would kill him on the spot!
Sure enough, Constantine did not calm down after hearing Tyler's words. Instead, his face muscles twitched more violently, and he angrily said, "I think it's Maple Group's doing! I met that Ryder from Maple Group last time, very young! But just by looking into his eyes, I knew he was full of ideas! I bet this short video idea was his!"
"As for your so-called investigation? It's been so long, there should be results by now! No wonder you suffer under Ryder! If you had half his smarts, I wouldn't have to worry so much!"
Constantine finished, his eyes full of disappointment in Tyler.
"Alright, I have to go to the airport to pick someone up. This big project can't be delayed! Get out! And keep an eye on the Rigal Sports Complex matter!"
"Okay!" Tyler closed the door and left.
His face suddenly turned sinister.
Back in his office, he called Brandon.
As soon as the call connected, he shouted, "Stop those short videos and take them down!"
Brandon's voice came through, "Huh? Why? You saw we did a great job, just now we hit eight million fans! Now the haunted rumors at Rigal Sports Complex are known not just in Aurora City, but nationwide!"
"I said stop filming, so stop!" Tyler yelled.
"That's a bit harsh, isn't it? We had a deal, you paid, I promoted the haunted rumors at Rigal Sports Complex! Now the rumors are famous, and instead of paying me more, you want me to stop filming, why should I agree?"
Hearing this, Tyler was stunned, "What did you say?"
Brandon's voice was equally loud. "We settled our accounts long ago. Now I'm using my own account to make short videos and live streams, it has nothing to do with you!"
Tyler suppressed his anger, took a deep breath. "How much to delete the account?"
On the other end, Brandon snorted, "Do you know how much advertisers pay for a single ad now?"
"At least tens of thousands of dollars! And you're not my dad, why should I listen to you!"
