Pokémon's Lord of Fear

There are running trains, enclosed workshops, everything, but of course the most important thing is the missing victims.

All of this... made Huang Heihe so excited!

"When all the impossibilities are ruled out, the only thing left must be..." Huang Heihe excitedly planned to prove his ability as a mystery novelist.

"Boss, I found it. Xiaoxue is preparing props in the prop car." Shizuka pushed open the door and brought good news.

Huang Heihe's entire body froze.

"It's over. Someone's dream of reasoning is shattered." Teng Shu smiled.

Chapter 271 Variety Show Evaluation

A certain mystery novelist's dream of detective fiction ended before it even began.

The story is also very simple.

Xiaoxue was sulking after having an argument with Shinichi yesterday. After getting up in the morning, she did nothing but went to organize props and do something else to cheer herself up.

As a result, because I was listening to music with headphones, I didn't hear the voice on the radio and didn't notice that someone was looking for me.

"It seems that murders don't happen all the time." Teng Shu laughed teasingly, while Huang Heihe on the side had a blank expression on his face.

However, although his dream of reasoning was shattered this time, it was not completely without gain for Huang Heihe. At least he thought of a good idea and could use it to write a manuscript to deal with the deadline that had already arrived.

In order to save the editor from coming to him like crazy, Huang Heihe's enthusiasm was rekindled when he thought about it. He felt that his idea was quite good and he could try to write it down, and then improve the script and think about the methods of killing and hiding the bodies.

After solving a mystery drama that ended before it even began, Teng Shu began filming this Sherlock Holmes TV series. However, before filming, Teng Shu still chose to hold a simple opening ceremony first.

"I hope the filming goes smoothly this time and nothing unexpected happens." Looking at Jirachi on the altar, Teng Shu said sincerely.

After the opening ceremony was over, Teng Shu asked the crew members to remove these things.

"Fawu, did you also hold this opening ceremony when you filmed a movie before?" Teng Shu asked curiously while looking at Fawu. Thinking of the prepared Jirachi he had just seen, and how he said he was going to hold an opening ceremony, and then Fawu immediately prepared a whole set of procedures, Teng Shu felt that this world seemed to have these opening ceremonies.

What they worship is Jirachi, a relatively special mythical beast. Although its strength is not very strong and its appearance cycle is very long, it has the magical power to make people's dreams come true.

To some extent, there is really nothing wrong with offering Jirachi. After all, this special Pokémon itself represents good luck.

"In the past, it mainly depended on the ideas of the directors. Some directors prefer to hold an opening ceremony. They will hold a special one when the filming is finished, and there will be a ceremony under special circumstances. But some directors don't care much and don't do these things." Fawu said quickly, and Teng Shu nodded after hearing it. This was within his expectations. He had noticed before that some directors in the Pokémon world would choose to hold this opening ceremony.

Some popular works even have a launch ceremony that is made into a separate news release, which is also a way to increase popularity. However, for Teng Shu, he does not need such popularity because the popularity of Sherlock Holmes Season 2 is already very high.

After solving the problem of possible murder reasoning, Teng Shu also officially began the filming of the second season of Sherlock Holmes. The filming process of this season can only be described as very smooth. After all, this time it was almost all acting. Most of the clips were done in one take, and Dam's acting skills also improved a lot, which made Teng Shu very satisfied. However, in order to ensure the post-editing problem, Teng Shu still chose to keep a few more takes.

"Hmm...'Ten Thousand People Acting Competition'? The name of this variety show is really plain and simple." During the lunch break at noon, Teng Shu looked at the name of this variety show on his mobile phone, and the corners of his mouth twitched. He had to say that these people's taste in naming was really unique.

However, considering the number of contestants this time, Teng Shu felt that there seemed to be nothing wrong with naming it "Ten Thousand People Competition". However, what Teng Shu is more concerned about now is the evaluation of this variety show on the Internet. After all, the evaluation of this variety show is related to whether the reputation of the second season of Sherlock Holmes can be reversed during this period.

[Ten thousand people's acting competition! A feast that makes directors and audiences exclaim in excitement]

[First episode, is the voting fair? Professional film critics explain it to you from ten aspects]

"It's quite hot." In the dining car, Teng Shu was eating his lunch while checking his phone.

The first episode of this variety show was aired yesterday, and now the comments are out. Although the scoring system has not yet been enabled, judging from the more than 300,000 comments for one episode, Teng Shu knows how popular this variety show is.

Moreover, most of the comments were relatively positive, and the most controversial issue was the voting results of this issue.

After all, it is indeed a very difficult task to eliminate half of the actors from a group of outstanding acting skills. Even though the program crew invited Cheng Mou, a very strict and veteran director in the industry who is known for his sharp tongue, he still expressed that it was very difficult to make a decision.

In the past, we had to choose the best actor from a group of actors with mediocre acting skills. Now, we have to choose even better actors from a group of already excellent actors, which is even more difficult.

Teng Shu clicked on the video out of curiosity and took a look. The acting in it was indeed very good, and many performances were in no way inferior to the original works. This episode basically selected some clips from some famous film and television works.

This is actually very difficult.

Because the original novel is such a great success, if the remake is not good, it will be a disaster, which is a huge challenge for both the director and the actors.

Fortunately, they performed very well and Teng Shu was very satisfied. However, half of these people with outstanding acting skills would still be eliminated in the first round. Although it was cruel, there was nothing that could be done about it.

The second season of Sherlock Holmes cannot support so many actors.

"But now that I put it this way, the actors here can be considered the best of the best." Teng Shu glanced at the actors who were eating and smiled. He had to admit that it was indeed much easier to work with these excellent actors.

After all, his pressure is much less, and the shooting speed can be accelerated. Those actors who participated in the variety show but were eliminated are not completely without gain. At least they have entered the vision of a number of directors.

Even if I can't participate in Teng Shu's movies and TV series in the future, at least my acting range will be broadened a lot.

Of course, compared with the top sixteen, it is still a little inferior, but when thinking of the champion, runner-up and third place of this variety show, Teng Shu's expression became a little subtle.

In the selection of the champion, runner-up and third place this time, in addition to acting skills, appearance is also very important. Although it is a bit unfair, this is how the entertainment industry is.

Chapter 272: Humans become ghost Pokémon after death? Damn!

The reason why Teng Shu said this is because when he went to participate in the recording of the last two episodes of the show, he saw two very distinctive actors with very good acting skills. After all, if their acting skills were not good, they would not have made it to the last two episodes of the show.

But the reason why Teng Shu said these two actors are very distinctive is because they are a little ugly.

Teng Shu is not a person who cares about appearance. He pays more attention to acting skills and performance tension when watching movies. However, compared with other competitors on the same stage, those two actors are indeed a little uglier, and their appearance is even uglier than ordinary people.

It’s just that the acting skills of these two actors were so great that for a moment Teng Shu felt like he saw Brother Bo from his previous life. Even the judges expressed regret that these two actors were inferior to other competitors and lost because of their appearance.

If it weren't for their appearance, these two would probably at least make it to the finals and get one of the first, second and third place.

A famous director at the time commented, "Although there will certainly be many people who question the fairness of the program after the show is broadcast, the entertainment industry is like this, and excellent appearance is a stepping stone to the entertainment industry."

Although Teng Shu felt that this sentence was a bit rough, there was indeed nothing wrong with it.

An actor with perfect looks is naturally more likely to enter the entertainment industry and obtain resources more easily than others.

Those who don’t look that good need to work harder.

"By then, I'm afraid the controversy will be at its peak." Teng Shu looked at the constantly refreshing comments on his phone, thoughtfully, although Teng Shu felt that the current comments were already hot enough.

But after those two actors are eliminated and the great director's words come out, it will probably lead to even greater controversy, after all, that statement was really too blatant.

Although everyone knows that this is the rule in the entertainment industry, saying it so directly will cause an uproar. However, Teng Shu also knows that this is the director's personality. The other party has always been famous in the film and television industry for his direct speech.

The filming went very smoothly, but even with the cooperation of a group of actors with outstanding acting skills, it still took Teng Shu almost a week to finish filming this modified version of "Murder on the Orient Express".

"I feel that the second season of Sherlock Holmes will be a great success!" Dan Di said excitedly. He finally made a guest appearance in the second season of Sherlock Holmes and played a minor supporting role. However, Dan Di also witnessed Teng Shu's script throughout the process. When Sherlock Holmes began to deduce and uncover the real murderer, Dan Di felt the charm of reasoning at that moment.

"As long as the director and screenwriter don't get sick, there will basically be no failure." Teng Shu smiled. In his previous life, some excellent TV series were often extremely amazing in the first part, but started to go downhill in the second part.

There are very few subsequent series that are better than the previous ones, and most of them get worse and worse.

There are many reasons, such as the replacement of directors and screenwriters, or the investors insisting on adding something "novel".

Or they lay various foreshadowings for the sake of a sequel.

However, as the director, screenwriter and investor, Teng Shu can basically do nothing wrong as long as he doesn't get sick.

"So where are we going later?" Dan Di asked curiously. After hearing this question, Teng Shu couldn't help but feel a little pain in his head. He remembered what these guys in the Galar region had been arguing about before. Thinking of this, Teng Shu pinched his eyebrows. This episode of Orient Express is theoretically the second episode.

So the first episode needs to have a scene where Holmes receives a commission after solving a case, so the first place.

"How many regions does your alliance list for selection?" Teng Shu asked the Dan Emperor in front of him, but he was also a little curious. Doesn't this Dan Emperor go to work?

How long have you been in his crew?

"Five. These are the lists." Dan Di quickly took out a list. Teng Shu's mouth twitched. It seemed that these guys were well prepared.

Teng Shu pinched his eyebrows, feeling somewhat helpless, but he still chose a place to continue filming the second season of Sherlock Holmes.

Dandi was very happy to ask the Alliance to send an intelligent driverless car, which was said to be a new invention in the Galar region.

On the way, Teng Shu also observed the performance of the second episode of the variety show. Overall, the ratings continued to rise, and advertisers competed frantically by raising prices. Although Teng Shu spent a lot of money, he made it back from these advertisers.

The method of sending text messages to show support that Teng Shu had thought of before also made him a lot of money. Although a text message only cost ten cents, people sent so many.

"If you calculate it this way, it seems that the money I invested not only was not spent, but came back in another form?" Teng Shu was a little amused. God have mercy on him, he really just wanted to use it to give some benefits to those actors who were not living a satisfactory life, but he didn't expect it to turn out like this.

After reading a lot of comments on the phone, Teng Shu shook his head, put down the phone, and his eyes fell on Shizuka beside him.

Shizuka was in a daze.

"Shizuka, what's wrong with you recently?" Teng Shu looked at Shizuka and asked. Little Q, who was hiding on Teng Shu's head, also poked his head out.

Xiao Q also knew about Shizuka's situation, and it must be said that Xiao Q had never seen anything so outrageous.

"I'm wondering, am I Shizuka, or Zoroark?" Shizuka said confusedly. At this moment, there were only Teng Shu and Shizuka in the car.

Teng Shu frowned slightly.

"You are Shizuka, and you are also Zoroark." Teng Shu scratched his head, not quite understanding Shizuka's distress.

According to Shizuka, she was pushed off a cliff and fell to death. After her death, she turned into a Pokémon like Zoroark, but she was still Shizuka, and she went on to complete her revenge.

After taking revenge, his vicious nature was aroused and he became a disaster that plagued the Xicui area.

In order to prevent herself from continuing to do those horrible things, Shizuka imprisoned herself. Over a long period of time, she gradually forgot her memories and fell into a deep sleep.

When I woke up again, I still remembered some things, but I had forgotten a lot more.

Although her name has changed, it is actually just Shizuka after she lost her memory.

Shizuka is Zoroark and Zoroark is Shizuka, there is no difference between the two.

After all, Zoroark himself is Shizuka's transformation after her death.

Chapter 273 Witness of Time

Teng Shu pinched his eyebrows and thought of a question.

Since Shizuka can transform into Zoroark in the Greenish form after her death, then in theory other ghost Pokémon may also be transformed from other people's souls. This involves a very serious ethical issue.

[Ahaha, isn't this Lao Wang next door? Look! The Pokémon I'm training now is the soul of your parents! And your grandparents! ]

[I've been prepared for this. Come out, your mother! ]

Well, by then I'm afraid the whole world will be in chaos. Teng Shu can only hope that Shizuka's situation is an isolated case. After all, if it is not an isolated case, Ghost Pokémon will probably become a taboo in the entire alliance in an instant. After all, no one can accept the fact that their dead relatives turned into Ghost Pokémon and were subdued by others.

"But." Shizuka was a little confused. Is this the truth?

"Hey, have you heard of past life wisdom? Some people may suddenly awaken their memories of past lives while they are still alive. So in this case, is this person still herself? Or is she her past life self?" Teng Shu waved his hand. He didn't want to delve into this issue. After all, this question is a very troublesome philosophical question.

There are some similar discussions in psychology, and this point is mainly reflected in split personality.

The main personality and the secondary personality have different memories and concepts, but they share the same body. In this case, should the secondary personality or the main personality be eliminated? In the research and discussion of modern psychology and psychiatry, there is also a lot of controversy about this.

After all, erasing a person's memory is equivalent to killing a person, so once this issue arises, it will be a very controversial point.
