Pokémon's Lord of Fear
Page 168
However, on the way to see Nobuyuki, Suzuki Kyoko was still curious about the cursed house, so she went there specially. Outside the courtyard, Suzuki Kyoko noticed Mrs. Kitada who lived there. Mrs. Kitada was possessed by Kayako at this moment. Suzuki Kyoko was very frightened just by looking at her and did not dare to get close.
So Suzuki Kyoko hurriedly went to find her nephew Nobuyuki, but the house number and location proved that this was not a normal house, but a haunted house, and it was also related to the Grudge family.
"It's really speechless. This Suzuki Tatsuya is obviously a real estate agent, but he not only buys and sells haunted houses, but he also lives in a haunted house himself. His business ability is really worrying." When Teng Shu wrote this, he shook his head helplessly.
In this island country, the belief in gods and ghosts is still very common, so most islanders believe in the existence of ghosts and are quite taboo about haunted houses. For example, houses that have been rumored to be haunted will often be labeled as accident objects.
Logically speaking, as a real estate agent, and a relatively successful one at that, Suzuki Tatsuya should have a better understanding of this area. Not to mention becoming an exorcist himself, even as a real estate agent, he should not have bought a haunted house without knowing it.
But in fact, Suzuki Tatsuya was really unaware of the situation, and even his sister Suzuki Kyoko didn't know that her brother was living in a haunted house.
But after Suzuki Kyoko went in, she was sure that there was something wrong with this haunted place, so she chose to pick up a piece of wood to protect herself. At the same time, she saw the talisman that her brother bought to ward off evil spirits, but of course it was of no use.
Xiangzi also found Nobuyuki in the room. After shaking him and finding that he was fine, she heard a knock on the door. She opened the door and found that it was her neighbor. The neighbor said that he heard a baby crying. As a result, Xiangzi realized that there was a ghost in her brother's house. In order not to drag down the neighbor, she drove the neighbor away.
When Xiangzi went back to find Nobuyuki, he discovered that Nobuyuki was sitting on the ground in fear, looking at the crack in the door. There was light in the crack, as if there was a light inside.
No one knew what Suzuki Kyoko was thinking. She didn't run away with her nephew, nor did she run out to ask for help. Instead, she bravely opened the door, and then found that the previous evil scene was replayed inside: Takeo Saeki broke into Shunsuke Kobayashi's house, brutally killed Manami, and dug the child out of her belly.
Takeo Saeki noticed the movement behind him, he turned around and walked over, which frightened Suzuki Kyoko so much that she trembled all over, and then she fainted.
Although Suzuki Tatsuya arrived later, he could only return to his hometown with his crazy sister and dull son and temporarily ask his parents to take care of them. It was at this time that Suzuki Tatsuya learned that not only Kyoko had psychic abilities, but his father also had psychic abilities.
His father told Suzuki Tatsuya that he must solve this problem, otherwise Suzuki Tatsuya would also die under the curse, so Tatsuya left in a hurry and planned to go back to the Kitada couple to find out about these things.
But just as he walked out of the house and was about to drive, he received a call from his subordinate at the company, who said that his sister Suzuki Kyoko was waiting for him at the company. This made Suzuki Tatsuya very scared because he had brought his sister back. So which sister is the one at the company or the one at home?
Tatsuya didn't dare to think about it, nor did he dare to meet him, so he could only leave in a hurry. After the company employee hung up the phone and talked to Xiangzi, Xiangzi said, "I know." When the employee went over to serve tea, he found that there was no one inside.
At the same time, after Tatsuya left, the curse invaded Tatsuya's parents' house. Tatsuya's father sternly told his wife not to look at Kyoko anymore, but the old woman just sat there, grinning and saying that Kyoko smiled, and the father also noticed something strange. He turned his head and found that Toshio's head popped out from the floor and looked at him.
Tatsuya's parents were also killed. Kyoko was kneeling in the room holding a rag doll, shaking her head constantly like a madman. Only Nobuyuki stood up dully and walked to the courtyard, sitting there in a daze.
"In that case, strictly speaking, Kyoko should be dead at this time, or she died in Manami's room. It was Manami who occupied Kyoko's body, and the real estate company was Kyoko's soul." Teng Shu touched his chin and he had a guess.
In fact, it is not really a guess. After all, Kyoko's behavior before and after was very different. At the same time, Kyoko also showed an obsession with the child, holding the doll and shaking it constantly. This shows that Manami's ghost is actually in Kyoko's body at this time.
On the other hand, when Mrs. Kitada was checking her daily emails, she saw the paintings and diaries of Kayako's family, and was affected by the curse and possessed by it. When she returned home, she hit her chattering husband to death with a frying pan.
In the afternoon, Tatsuya Suzuki also came to the door. Tatsuya Suzuki did not dare to go to the company, so he chose to go to the Kitada couple's house to ask for clues. Although Mrs. Kitada was normal when she opened the door, she started to become weird when Tatsuya Suzuki went in.
He first said that the weird painting was drawn by his son, and then said that the diary was his own diary. However, Suzuki Tatsuya knew that the Kitada couple had no children, so he realized that something was wrong and wanted to escape, but he didn't have the chance.
The phone rang, and Suzuki Tatsuya picked up the phone, but heard a cat's meow. He turned around and found that Mrs. Kitada had stood up, and Toshio, who was meowing, was squatting beside her. Tatsuya was so scared that he collapsed on the ground. He could only watch in despair as Mrs. Kitada lowered her head and climbed on top of him, revealing that horrible face.
Tatsuya also died, and at the same time, there were some changes in the Metropolitan Police Department. Two policemen went to visit their colleague, but his colleague's wife refused. The two policemen saw their colleague in a daze in the backyard, but when his colleague noticed them, he made a frightened sound and kept dodging.
When they returned to the Metropolitan Police Department, the bald policeman told his colleagues about the strange things in the curse-house, and showed his colleagues the photos taken by the crazy colleague. They found that although the photo was of Mrs. Kitada, a closer look revealed that Mrs. Kitada's face was Kayako's face.
The bald man burned the photo, indicating that there was something wrong with it.
While the photos were being burned, the crazy colleague leaned against the corner of his home, looking at the ceiling and died. His wife went to check and discovered this. When she looked up, she saw a distorted face on the ceiling. This horror caused the lady to leave this world as well.
At the same time, the bald policeman’s colleague found that a staff member came over and said that Kayako had just come to look for someone, but the colleague said that Kayako was dead. In the background, Kayako could be seen walking into the bald man’s room. Screams were heard in the room, and the bald man ran out, saying in horror that there was a ghost, and then sat on the chair.
Both colleagues rushed in, but the bald man noticed something strange. When he lowered his head, he found Kayako's head suddenly popping out from under the chair. The bald male police officer was officially offline.
Following closely behind is Nobuyuki, who is the only survivor at present. However, it is raining heavily in the school. Nobuyuki stands in the classroom and looks at Kayako in the playground, and he knows that his death is approaching.
Kayako climbed up, and the other students left.
Nobuyuki kept running away, but no matter where he was, there were Kayako's clones. Nobuyuki was trapped in a corner and eventually died in Kayako's arms. While being held by Kayako, there was heavy rain and countless female ghosts outside the window, and the entire school playground was also filled with densely packed female ghosts.
At the very end, there is a medium shot of The Grudge, from which the voices of several girls can be heard. They came here to explore, and then took a sip of the sake, saying that the sake was very bad to drink. At the same time, the bubbling sound of Kayako and the meow of Toshio could be heard in the room. The fate of these unlucky guys is self-evident.
"But I always feel like something is missing. How about adding a plot where the bed barrier is broken?" Teng Shu touched his chin. He had a bold idea, but after thinking about it, Teng Shu gave up. After all, this plot was not easy to insert.
"Boss!" a resentful voice came out, and Teng Shu shuddered all over. He almost threw the phone in his hand. Turning his head, Teng Shu found that it was Zoroark standing behind him, looking at him resentfully.
The corners of Teng Shu's mouth twitched. He was not frightened by the plot of the curse in his mind, but was frightened by the horrible appearance of Zoroark. It was really worthy of the saying that people can scare people to death.
No, Zoroark is a Pokémon, not a person, so Teng Shu scratched his head, what is this? Forget it, he was too lazy to care.
"Why are you behind me?" Teng Shu said unhappily, and Zoroark sighed.
"I just came in to deliver some information to you, boss. I saw you typing the script, so I took a look." Zoroark felt unwell. He just watched and felt unwell. Zoroark now felt like he was about to have a nightmare.
Teng Shu felt a little helpless.
"How do you feel after watching it?" Teng Shu asked Zoroark. He wanted to see what Zoroark thought about it. After all, Zoroark had also seen many horror movies.
"That's great, but by then I guess someone will complain about our company again." Zoroark shrugged.
Chapter 355 Batman and Superman!
Teng Shu didn't care about the complaint Zoroark mentioned. After all, it wasn't the first time he had been complained about. He gradually gained experience after being complained about many times. Besides, "The Grudge" had to be sent for review every time to meet the requirements of film censorship, and the alliance would not care about these complaints.
After all, the alliance has special prevention and reminders for pre-viewing warnings and corresponding groups of people. If you still go to the movies by yourself under such circumstances, it means that you are ready to take risks. I have to say that Teng Shu still likes such laws very much. After all, this can also prevent some people who are not brave enough from going to the movies and then causing trouble for the film company when they are scared.
And if the protection of vulnerable groups is also taken into consideration and the film companies are asked to pay compensation, then the film companies should not make films. Anyway, no matter what kind of film they make, there will always be a suitable reason to claim compensation.
"If a horror movie doesn't scare people, then why call it a horror movie?" Teng Shu was very happy. He wanted The Grudge to scare people, and the success of The Grudge 2 could lead to other Grudge works, such as the classic The Grudge 1 and 2.
These two works have inherited some of the settings of the theatrical version, but they also explain the birth of The Grudge, etc. They are still very classic, and there are many other scary scenes. They can be said to be representative works of The Grudge.
However, as more and more films were filmed, "The Grudge" became worse and worse. In the end, the great "Grudge" was reduced to the level of a bad movie. It can only be said that capital's exploration of IP is unreasonable. As long as it can make gold coins, capital will not care what the fans of this IP think.
The worst movie among all the movies in The Grudge is undoubtedly The Final Chapter. Because of the name, Teng Shu naively thought that this movie was the final work of The Grudge. At that time, Teng Shu was also very curious. How should such an unreasonable and unsolvable horror thing like The Grudge be solved?
So Teng Shu started to read it seriously, but in the end, a character from The Grudge grabbed a poor guy and said, "The Grudge will never end." This made Teng Shu laugh out loud. It was exactly the same as a novel that has an ending, but suddenly at the end the protagonist says, "This book will never have an ending."
The deceived Teng Shu chose to give his one-star bad review without hesitation.
Although Teng Shu can actually understand it, after all, in order to make money, capital will never take the director's ideas into consideration. As long as they can write scripts and then gain fans, it is enough for these people.
But Teng Shu does not have this concern. Teng Shu can shoot whatever he wants. He is the capital, and there is no need to squeeze out the final value of an IP.
"Alas, the audience of the Alliance is so lucky." Zoroark sighed. These audiences are so lucky to have a director like him who only wants to scare the audience. Teng Shu smiled and said nothing.
Movies are always just to spice up people's lives. Of course, there are also some movies that try to tell some truths and satirize some life phenomena. However, Teng Shu's horror movies are mostly just to scare the audience. After all, if a horror movie is not scary, then there is no need to call it a horror movie.
After finishing the script of Ju-Grudge 2, Teng Shu asked Zoroark to organize and start screening the actors. For a movie like Ju-Grudge, since there are many characters involved, many supporting roles are needed. Teng Shu has already thought of the candidate for Kayako, and Fuji Takako is the most suitable candidate for Kayako in Teng Shu's mind.
However, regarding Suzuki Kyoko and Mrs. Kitada, Teng Shu thought about it and decided to let the crew select a few actresses who are good-looking and have good acting skills.
After all, Suzuki Kyoko is pretty, and if Mrs. Kitada's looks are also better, the audience can get a little psychological comfort while being frightened, right? At least that's what Teng Shu thinks.
When he was scared to death by Kayako, Teng Shu looked at the beauty for a few times to ease the tension in his heart. He felt that he was still too kind.
The audience will probably be very happy.
"By the way, boss, there are some new things about the ghost park." Zoroark turned around and walked in again, holding a stack of documents in his hand. Teng Shu glanced at Zoroark, and there was a smile in the other's eyes. It seemed that it was not a troublesome matter, otherwise Zoroark would not have this expression.
Teng Shu has been working with Zoroark for a long time. During this time, Teng Shu has also come to understand some of Zoroark's little habits. At work, if it is a serious matter, then Zoroark's face will be very serious, and his eyes will also be very serious. If he smiles like now, it is often something relaxing or funny.
"What happened?" Teng Shu pinched his brows. The Ghost Park had a lot of revenue and the profits were terrifying. Although it had only been open for a short time, it had its own characteristics because of the haunted house run by Tomie. It now became one of the three most famous amusement parks in the Hoenn area.
The first is the Alliance Amusement Park, the second is the Dream Amusement Park which specializes in the amusement park industry and has many outstanding amusement equipment designs, and the third is Teng Shu’s Ghost Amusement Park, which is not easy to make it out of.
"You'll know after you take a look." Zoroark handed the document over with a smile. Teng Shu took it and took a look. First of all, there was a profit and loss statement of the ghost amusement park, and a comparison of the number of visitors, etc.
Teng Shu was not an uneducated rich second-generation. Although he did not go to university, he had studied under famous teachers arranged by his father since he was a child. He was very familiar with company management. He could tell what Zoroark wanted him to see at a glance.
The tickets for the haunted house in the Ghost Amusement Park are extremely popular, and have even reached the point where reservations are required. People are very interested in the haunted house in the Ghost Amusement Park, which can give people a strong sense of reality. Many people come here to visit, making the park crowded.
This is also a good thing. After all, you need to buy a ticket to enter the amusement park. Then after these people come in, they can choose to play other projects while waiting in line. So now the amusement park has recovered its costs and even started to make a profit.
Moreover, the unmanned amusement park model that Ghost Park focuses on has also received some praise. Of course, there are occasionally some tourists who complain that the ghost employees are slow to respond, but these are a minority, and Secretary Kuroda has also found some professional personnel to train them, so overall, Ghost Park has moved away from the stage of needing Teng Shu's blood transfusion at an astonishing speed and has begun to give back.
"It's pretty good, especially the salary." Teng Shu was stunned. Salary?
Ghost Pokémon naturally have salaries, but these Pokémon don't really use the money, so most of the time they use the money to buy intimidation qualifications, or buy some food for the Ghost Pokémon that the alliance is researching.
So adding money doesn't seem to help.
For the ghost Pokémon, scaring others is their greatest pleasure. There is a lot of fear scattered in the amusement parks now, which makes the ghost Pokémon eat happier, and these little guys have less places to spend money.
".Wait, I will get you ten liters of juice. You give it to the Dream Demon. Remember to give it to the Dream Demon and tell it that this is the year-end benefit. Let it distribute it on its own. It will be distributed once a quarter." Teng Shu said seriously. Zoroark was looking at the juice in front of him in confusion at this moment, and then swallowed his saliva. He could feel that these juices had a strong temptation, which made Zoroark unable to control himself.
Teng Shu glanced at Zoroark. Yes, come to think of it, Zoroark was originally the Pokémon that Shizuka turned into after her death in the past. Because it carries some of Shizuka's soul, it is immune to the temptation brought by the fear juice. Now Shizuka has separated from Zoroark, so when Zoroark faces this full cup of fear juice, naturally he will not be immune to this temptation.
"Want to drink?" Teng Shu looked at Zoroark with a smile. Zoroark swallowed his saliva, then stared at the big bottle of juice that Teng Shu handed over, with strong desire in his eyes.
"However, I refuse!" Zoroark still refused seriously. Teng Shu raised his eyebrows. How could this guy refuse this temptation? This is really interesting, but Teng Shu didn't care. Anyway, if Zoroark wanted to drink, he could just tell him. Now Teng Shu didn't know how much fear value he had. Anyway, it was enough to drink for a long, long time.
Watching Zoroark leave, Teng Shu sat in his seat and looked through the documents in his hand.
The fear juice will definitely have a strong appeal to those ghost employees, but Teng Shu is well prepared for this. This can be regarded as a benefit he gives to his employees. However, this thing can only be handed over to the Dream Demon to handle and distribute. If it is handed over to any ghost employee casually, the other party may hide it secretly.
Only a very responsible leader like Meng Yaomo would distribute this thing equally.
"Has the comics department been bought?" Teng Shu smiled as he looked at the information in his hand. Now, Hoenn Comics has been bought by Teng Shu, and then renamed "Western Boys' Comics" by Teng Shu. However, although all the departments have been bought by Teng Shu, other places remain unchanged. There is no change in the comic writers and editors.
This was also what Teng Shu had deliberately requested. However, now that the comics had been purchased, he could also start planning for superheroes. Teng Shu planned to start with the DC universe, beginning with Batman and Superman.
Originally, Teng Shu was going to start the show directly with Superman. After all, if Superman started the show, it would attract more readers' attention. However, considering that "Batman: The Dark Knight" was about to start filming, Teng Shu decided to start the story of Batman at the same time to see if he could accumulate some fans.
However, Teng Shu still has some confidence in these works. The reason why these works in his previous life were loved worldwide is naturally because of their unique charm. Moreover, there are no similar superhero comics in the world of Pokémon. Teng Shu is still very much looking forward to it.
"What about the comic book question?" Teng Shu hesitated. He knew how to draw it, but the problem was that he didn't have the time to draw it. He was too busy recently. Even if he had free time, he didn't want to draw it because these two comic books were very long and he didn't have enough time to draw them slowly.
So Teng Shu planned to hand it over to someone else.
But Teng Shu also knew the future development prospects of these comics, so naturally he had to find someone who had signed a "sale contract" with the company.
This indenture is not a real indenture of course. It's just that Teng Shu needs to ensure that the other party can stay in his company forever. At the same time, the copyright of these comic adaptation rights must also be in the hands of the company. Of course, Teng Shu will also offer enough remuneration to the cartoonist. If the other party can create a story that satisfies him, then it is not impossible to give him the copyright of the corresponding character.
However, Teng Shu was not very familiar with the law, so Teng Shu chose to ask the Minister of Justice to come and discuss this issue.
"Boss, the siblings Richie and Rimi are now in custody. Apart from leaving their assets to their spouses and children, their assets are used to support their father." The Minister of Justice just came in and said this to Teng Shu. Teng Shu was stunned for a moment after hearing it, and then he realized that the Minister of Justice was talking about Richie and Rimi, the two filial sons.
Before, these two guys brought their father to watch Ju-Grudge, trying to blackmail Teng Shu, but because of the master-level camera language, they have never succeeded. Teng Shu put a curse on them and asked the Minister of Justice to deal with it, and then he didn't care about it anymore. I didn't expect to hear the follow-up from the Minister of Justice now.
"I'm not asking this. I have a question now." Teng Shu briefly stated his thoughts, and the Minister of Justice listened quietly. After listening, he quickly gave an answer.
Teng Shu’s request can be met, but a contract needs to be drafted.
"In that case, the only thing left now is to find a cartoonist." Teng Shu felt a lot more relaxed. Finding a cartoonist was too easy.
The cartoonist industry can be said to be extremely inward-looking, and the income gap between cartoonists is even greater than the gap between humans and dogs. The top cartoonists can easily earn over 100 million yuan a year, while the ones at the bottom have a problem staying alive every month.
What? You said you draw really well and you're willing to color it?
I'm sorry, there are many people who draw better than you. Coloring requires a lot of attention to tone, gradient, light and shadow. Can you compare with them?
I can only say that this industry is too inward-looking, and it also relies on stories. If the story is good and the style is outrageous, it can also sell well, and there will even be people who come forward to adapt it.
