Pokémon's Lord of Fear

"It's different this time. They all want to invest in your next movie." The old butler Shibata smiled. He had worked for the Zfuchi family for so many years. Master Mu Jin treated him like a family member, offering him a very high salary and sufficient benefits. He also regarded the entire Zfuchi family as his own home and worked hard.

Now seeing that Master Teng Shu, who had been the most worrying person before, had also achieved success, he was naturally very happy.

"The next movie? Let's wait and see how this movie performs at the box office." Teng Shu was not too anxious.

It is one thing to agree to invest now, and it is another to wait for the box office results.

Now what these people care about is the popularity of Dead Silence's publicity, but the investment may not be that great. Only when word of mouth and box office are good, the amount of investment will naturally increase.

The old butler was grinning. Master Mu Jin had told him before that if Teng Shu wanted to meet those investors, he should persuade Teng Shu to wait for a while. Those who came now all wanted to take advantage of the popularity right away, and wasting popularity like this was not a good thing for the movie.

But I didn't expect that Teng Shu would refuse it himself. If the master knew about this, he would definitely be pleased.

Soon, the old butler's car stopped in front of the Alliance's Cultural Review Office. Teng Shu hurriedly got out of the car holding his original film, then found the staff here and submitted his application for review.

After a while, a middle-aged woman came over.

"Director Teng Shu, I've been looking forward to your coming every day these past two days." The woman looked at Teng Shu with a smile. She did not lie. Now the whole alliance knows that there is a horror movie called "Dead Silence" in the Hoenn region. As the person in charge of this area, if she didn't know this, she could just step down.

"Hello, I'm here to submit Dead Silence for review." Teng Shu said with a smile. He had seen this woman before. She had contributed three items to a Pokémon charity gala that his old father attended.

"Someone has already reviewed your work." The woman sat opposite Teng Shu. She looked at the young director in front of her with interest. He had created such a big buzz for his first time as a director. She just didn't know if he could handle it.

However, Si Ji is so popular now, and with Dewen Company standing behind Teng Shu, the review department will naturally handle special matters on a special basis. As long as there are no particularly obvious clips that violate the alliance regulations, the review can be completed today.

Then her eyes fell on Little Q in Teng Shu's arms. Little Q was sleeping soundly in Teng Shu's arms, and the Pikachu puppet suit was shaking.

"Director Teng Shu, is this mimicking hill of yours the same one in the movie?" the woman couldn't help but ask.

Since Dead Silence was so popular, she naturally watched the spoof videos and posters of Dead Silence, and was naturally impressed by the Mimikyuu that took the leading role.

"Yes, Xiao Q is one of the leading actors in this movie." Teng Shu responded politely. The woman then pulled Teng Shu aside to talk about the movie. After chatting for more than forty minutes, she finally said something else.

"Director Teng Shu, I wonder if you have any plans for your next movie?" The woman hinted at something, and Teng Shu understood. No wonder this leader came to argue with him for such a long time and only got to the point now.

"I have some plans, but the details will have to wait until Dead Silence is released before we can talk about them." Teng Shu picked up the teacup and took a sip. The fragrance of tea filled the room, making Little Q shrink into Teng Shu's arms again.

"Then I'll be looking forward to your next masterpiece." The woman said with a smile, and then she put down a business card, and Teng Shu took it. This made the woman very satisfied, and she left the reception room with a smile. Not long after, two staff members came to find Teng Shu and told him that "Dead Silence" had passed the review and they could start arranging the screening and other matters.

Teng Shu politely said thank you, and the two staff members embarrassedly took out a notebook and hoped that Teng Shu would sign it. Teng Shu did not refuse, but left an artistic name.

"Mr. Teng Shu, at first we thought you were the one from the fighting gym." A staff member said with a smile when he sent Teng Shu out.

Teng Shu was not surprised. The guy in the fighting gym was called Teng Shu, and his name was Teng Shu, so there was a slight difference.

"Hahaha, but I'm not as strong as Mr. Fujishu." Tengshu shrugged. Although he also exercised, he was still much thinner compared to Fujishu in the fighting gym.

After saying goodbye to the happy staff, Teng Shu got in the car. Now that the film had passed the review, what he had to do now was to take advantage of this opportunity to release Dead Silence, thereby converting the popularity into ready-made profits.

But before that

"Grandpa Shibata, please take me to Dean Lillian." Teng Shu tapped the chair twice with his fingers. He wanted to discuss with Dean Lillian the issue of giving concessions on the movie box office.

In the Pokémon League, not all people in the league are good people. You have to figure out for yourself whether they are human or ghost.

In comparison, Teng Shu felt that it was easier to communicate with Pokémon.

The old butler immediately turned the car around, and Teng Shu took out the business card in his hand, which only had his name and phone number on it.

【Hero】

The name of the female minister.

"Adding the word 'Na' will make it even more special." Teng Shu put away the business card in his hand.

"Master Teng Shu, are you talking about Ms. Hero?" the old butler asked while driving. Teng Shu responded. It was indeed Ms. Hero. Although he had seen her before, this was the first time he knew her name.

"Ms. Shiro's son opened a Meow Meow Entertainment Company, which mainly sells movie tickets and also invests in movies." What Butler Shibata said seemed a little strange, but Teng Shu knew what Butler Shibata meant.

The adult world is always full of exchanges of interests. Apparently, Silent's sudden popularity made Ms. Hero a little jealous, and she wanted to get a piece of the pie in his next movie.

"I understand, Grandpa Shibata." Teng Shu closed his eyes. These things were inevitable.

Chapter 27: The adoption boom brought by the Violent Dragon

"Dean Lillian, do you know any reliable charity organization for stray Pokémon?" Teng Shu found Dean Lillian who was processing documents. There were several adoption applications on her desk.

However, Teng Shu was not surprised by this. After all, Director Lillian's Pokémon care center supported adoption, and people would come to take a look from time to time to see if they could choose a Pokémon for their children.

"Wandering Pokémon Charity Organization? Is that your movie?" Dean Lillian was stunned for a moment, and then a smile appeared on her helpless face.

She had heard Teng Shu mention before that his plan to give a one-dollar rebate on each ticket sold, and the money saved would be donated to charity organizations related to stray Pokémon. Now that Teng Shu came to her, he must be planning to ask which organization is more reliable.

"Yes, it's the idea I told you before." Teng Shu nodded. He did know some charitable organizations, but whether those charitable organizations were reliable was a question.

Teng Shu likes to do charity work, but he doesn't like to use the money he donates to squander on those organizations.

Although Teng Shu had considered setting up a charity organization himself, he could not guarantee that all his subordinates were good people, and this kind of thing was also troublesome.

So Teng Shu wanted to ask Dean Lillian for her opinion.

"As for this, I have had some cooperation with the Hoenn Abandoned Pokémon Care Organization. They are also registered with the official League and are pretty good." Dean Lillian said very carefully. Teng Shu nodded after hearing it. He wrote down the name of the organization and planned to ask Grandpa Shibata to check it out.

If there is really no problem, then you can contact that organization.

"By the way, Dean Lillian, I noticed that you seemed to be in some trouble just now?" After solving the donation problem, Teng Shu was in a much better mood. Then he thought of the helplessness on Dean Lillian's face just now, and couldn't help asking.

"More and more people want to adopt children these days, which is a good thing, but..." Dean Lillian sighed again, and she turned the application list over and showed it to Teng Shu.

Teng Shu leaned over to take a look and felt a little amused and helpless.

There are eight applications for adopting Pokémon on the table, but six of the Pokémon being adopted are Dragonite.

"After all, this is a Tyrannosaurus." Teng Shu smacked his lips. When Xiaobao was still a Carapace Dragon, some people wanted to adopt it, but not many people wanted to adopt it. But now that Xiaobao has evolved into a Tyrannosaurus, the number of people who want to adopt it has suddenly increased.

"Are they planning to adopt? I don't even want to expose them." Dean Lillian stuffed all the applications into the shredder with a hint of anger on her face.

She was originally very happy that someone was adopting a Pokémon, but when she saw that these people all wanted to adopt Dragonite, her mood suddenly became bad.

"Dean Lillian, this is unavoidable. I think you should mark it and say that Xiao Bao does not support adoption. This way, there will be a lot fewer people coming." Teng Shu smiled. The moment he saw Xiao Bao evolve into a Dragonite, Teng Shu knew that Xiao Bao would definitely attract a lot of people's attention.

After all, this is a dragon Pokémon. It is difficult to cultivate, consumes a lot of resources, and is very scarce. It is not easy to come across. Not everyone is from the Dragon Family. For ordinary trainers, dragon Pokémon is just out of reach.

Now that they discovered that an orphanage for stray Pokémon actually has a Dragonite, and it is its final evolution, these people must be eager to rush over and put it in the Poké Ball and take it away.

If you can use Dragonite as your initial Pokémon, you can take off immediately.

Although I don’t know if I can adopt it, I should at least give it a try, right?

Although there are good people in the Pokémon world, there are also bad people. Fortunately, Dean Lillian is quite strong, and the Junsha team is right next to them, so they can provide immediate support if anything happens. Otherwise, even Dragonite will not be safe here.

"Yeah, I think so too." Dean Lillian nodded in agreement. She didn't want to pass any of those who came for Dragonite, but if it was Teng Shu, she would be happy to do so. After all, Teng Shu was very good to his Pokémon and was a kind person.

After chatting with Dean Lillian for a few words, Teng Shu left in a hurry. He still had to take the original film to make a copy, and then contact the theaters to prepare for the release of "Dead Silence". Teng Shu also decided on the final release date, which was two days later.

To be honest, we were a bit rushed, but there is no problem with the quality of the film, and the most troublesome review part is over. Now we just need to distribute the dead silent copies to the cooperating theaters, which is a rather troublesome and time-consuming task.

But in the world of Pokémon, as long as you are willing to pay, express delivery can be delivered on the same day.

"Grandpa Shibata, could you please help me check the details of this Stray Pokémon Care Organization? I want to see if their annual financial reports are normal, and also take a look at their private reputation." Teng Shu pinched his brows. It was a bit troublesome to carry out all these tasks at the same time.

But in fact, there are not many things he needs to handle himself. As for copying, people in the company will handle it. The film company has the necessary machines and equipment, and they can also contact the theaters while copying. However, this can also be handled by the agent sent by his father.

No, if it was the other party, it should have been dealt with.

The other party is a professional.

"Okay, Master Teng Shu." The old butler took note of this and sent Teng Shu back to the company. Teng Shu also handed the approved original film to Fawu and asked him to take it to make a copy as soon as possible.

"Boss, what will be the method of delivery then?" Fawu asked respectfully.

"Choose the fastest courier in the alliance, and make sure to deliver "Dead Silence" to all theaters in the alliance that are willing to cooperate with us while "Dead Silence" is still popular. By the way, when making copies, just make two copies per city, and let them make the copies themselves after sending them over." Teng Shu waved his hand, but then added another sentence.

It would be a huge task to ask his film company to make copies for the entire alliance of theaters. It would be better to make two copies in each city and then send them to them for themselves to copy and distribute. There is strength in numbers.

At the same time, it can also reduce the workload of their company.

Chapter 28: Dead Silence Screening

What is the fastest courier in the Pokémon League?

no doubt.

Alakazam Express.

As a courier service that allows purchases to be made at 10 a.m., shipment at 11 a.m., and direct delivery to the local courier terminal at 11:01 a.m., Hudi Express is recognized throughout the alliance as the most stable and fastest courier service. Its only drawback is that it is relatively expensive and cannot transport goods that are too heavy.

The farther the city and region of express delivery is, the more expensive the charge will be. However, the efficiency of express delivery is still guaranteed. After all, they all deliver express through super energy, so there is no need to consider the distance during delivery.

However, compared with the current popularity of Silent, the delivery fee of Hudi Express is simply not worth mentioning.

Soon, copies of Dead Silence were shipped to various cities and regions in the Pokémon League, and various theaters and ticket sales websites posted Dead Silence's posters and release date. At the same time, the company's official social account also released the Dead Silence's release date and an announcement that one dollar from every movie ticket would be donated to the homeless Pokémon charity organization.

For a while, the popularity of Dead Silence increased further. Many people booked movie tickets for Dead Silence at a price of 33 Alliance Coins, thinking that "it's not a big deal to watch it and it can also do charity."

And amidst such great anticipation, the dead silent release day arrived.

"I want to see if this horror movie can really surprise me." In Kuye City in Kanto, Tian Juan, the host of Tian Juan Movie Talk who has nearly 10 million fans on the Internet, has already got the movie tickets he had booked and walked into the busy cinema.

The release of Dead Silence was on Saturday, which resulted in a lot of people filling the cinema. Couples could be seen everywhere, and some people brought their Pokémon to watch the movie. Tian Juan also bought some popcorn and a drink, checked his ticket and walked into the cinema.

"There are quite a lot of people watching this movie." Tian Juan looked at the packed theater and couldn't help but feel curious. You know, horror movies don't have that many audiences. Unlike mainstream movies on the market, horror movies have always been a niche movie genre because of their more formulaic routines and the clichéd ending of [the trainer captures a funny ghost Pokémon].

The last time Tian Juan saw so many people watching a horror movie was when "My Ghost Bride and I - Gardevoir Special Edition" was released. However, the theater was packed only on that day, and the plot was too shocking, with many people dying violently.

"As long as I can enjoy the movie, I'll feel that my ticket price is worthwhile." Tian Juan sat in his seat with this thought in mind. Soon, the lights in the theater were turned off, and the movie "Dead Silence" officially began playing.

The first is the new LOGO of Tengshu Company. A man is walking in the ruins and looking back. A hideous ghost shadow is imprinted in his pupils, and then it turns into the words "Ghost Film Company".

Tian Juan raised his eyebrows. He had never heard of this company. It seemed to be the first debut work of a brand new director and a director from a new company.

[At the beginning of the alliance, people believed that the souls of the dead could speak through the abdomen of the living.]

A strange screen, strange fonts, but the music that followed made Tian Juan tremble all over. He subconsciously sat up straight. The music was a bit weird and carried an inexplicable sense of mystery, which made Tian Juan focus a lot. On the screen, a picture of a woman making a puppet appeared.

When an eye was given to the puppet, Tian Juan inexplicably had a feeling that someone was watching him.

The shaking camera and the cold color all grabbed Tian Juan's heart and made him inexplicably nervous.

The camera finally stayed on the eyes of the finished puppet Mimicryuu, then kept zooming in, and finally turned directly into a scene where Jamie was holding a flashlight to check the hole in the pool. This transition also made Tian Juan feel very smooth.

The strange puppet that was delivered, Jamie who left, the puppet that turned its head by itself, the sudden sound of the speakers, and the disappearing background music all made the theater quiet. People grabbed each other and their breathing gradually became heavy.

After that, the first frightening shot of dead silence made many people scream out, but Tian Juan managed to hold it back. After all, he had seen many horror films. What he paid more attention to at this moment were the two zooms in, using the previous scene as the scenery in the pupils, and then zooming out to Jamie's current situation. This shooting method made Tian Juan feel comfortable watching.
