Pokémon's Lord of Fear
Page 182
"Boss, how did you get the Medal of Fearlessness?" Zoroark asked with some curiosity. The Medal of Fearlessness was so powerful. It knew this because of a game, a war game, in which the highest honor was the Medal of Fearlessness. As long as the player obtained this achievement, all research costs and time would be halved. At the same time, there would be three free ten-draws every day, which was very powerful.
Even the ability to speak is a great privilege. Zoroark has been coveting it for a long time. It would be so cool if he could get it.
However, it is also very difficult to obtain this medal. One has to become the first place in that gaming competition. To get the first place, the resources invested are much greater than the resources saved. Therefore, although Zoroark knew about it, he had never really gotten it.
"Hasn't the Alliance publicized it? I have made a great contribution to the defense of the Hoenn region." Teng Shu said with a smile. This was also the official jargon of the Alliance. The actual situation was not mentioned, and Teng Shu didn't care. After all, he didn't want others to know that he had shattered the meteorite. That would only bring some trouble.
"I see. It seems to be a confidential matter and I'm not allowed to talk about it." Zoroark understood what Teng Shu meant. Teng Shu nodded. He didn't want to make himself unhappy. Although Zoroark was very tight-lipped, Teng Shu didn't want to leak the secret either. It was too troublesome.
The Medal of Fearlessness is not so easy to get. If you tell it, although the Alliance will not punish Teng Shu, it may also cause some trouble for Teng Shu. Teng Shu hates trouble.
Teng Shu sat at the desk, looked at the documents in his hand, and scratched his head.
"The people in the Kanto region want us to go there to film "Sherlock Holmes"? " Teng Shu looked at the document in his hand and said with some confusion. Zoroark on the side hurriedly stepped forward and told Teng Shu about this matter.
"Yes, boss. The Kanto region wants to invite us to go and film Sherlock Holmes for tourism promotion. They said that after filming a city, they will give us a piece of prime land in that city for free to build a hospital." Zoroark added. After hearing this, Teng Shu understood. It seems that the hospital he started recently has attracted their attention.
But this is also because Teng Shu had no intention of hiding the construction of the hospital from anyone. This was also one of Teng Shu's charity projects, and his goal was to gain a good reputation, although it sounds a bit utilitarian.
"A piece of land in a city? Or prime land?" Teng Shu became interested. Land also has different prices. The land in the suburbs is naturally different from the land in the city center. By filming "Sherlock Holmes", not only can he get advertising fees, but he can also get land. It's really profitable.
You know, the price of prime land in a big city is very high. If you can save the money on the land, then Teng Shu will need to invest less money, and then he can build the hospital faster.
Although it was stipulated that the hospital must be built, Teng Shu had no intention of using it for anything else. Although he could become rich instantly by relying on this policy if he wanted to, Teng Shu felt that it was unnecessary and that doing so would go against his own conscience.
"Sherlock Holmes 3?" Teng Shu seemed to be thinking about something. It was easy to shoot Sherlock Holmes. After all, Teng Shu had a suitable script in his mind. Even if all the movies and novels were used up, Teng Shu could still take out "The Elementary School Student of Death" or other mystery works, which also contained some classic cases.
Moreover, Sherlock Holmes can collect a lot of advertising fees. After all, Sherlock Holmes itself is an urban film, and all the big brands that appear in it can charge money. Moreover, Teng Shu is sure that the advertisements will not be too abrupt, and will not be like the embedded advertisements in some movies, which make people's scalps numb when watching them.
"Speaking of which, what has Damu been doing recently?" Teng Shu thought of another thing, that is, Damu, the top actor under his company.
Since the other party signed the contract under his company, he has been staying in the company honestly without any rumors or scandals, which makes people feel very relieved.
"Dam? Let me check it out." Zoroark took out the notebook and flipped through it, and then found the content it needed.
"Boss, Dam is currently filming a movie called "Dark Night and Stars". It's a professional movie about electricians." Zoroak and Teng Shu talked about Dam. After all, Dam is the most popular star in the company and naturally has no worries about resources. However, Teng Shu was a little curious as to why Dam would take on such a movie?
It's a professional movie, about electricians, so I don't think it will do well at the box office. But Teng Shu didn't care. He knew Dam's character. He was an actor with aspirations and strict demands on himself. Since he chose this movie, he must have his own reasons.
Teng Shu felt that based on Dam's personality, the other party probably wanted to use this movie to hone his acting skills.
"When is his schedule?" Teng Shu was planning to shoot Sherlock Holmes 3. This time he planned to set all the cases in the Kanto region, preferably in every city, and then get some land from the Kanto region, which could be used to build a cheap charity hospital.
Of course, it is not very realistic to visit all the cities, so Teng Shu plans to choose several cities with the highest land prices in Kanto for filming, and the land in other cities can be acquired normally.
However, this requires the presence of Damm. After all, Damm is considered the reserved actor for Sherlock Holmes, and the audience is also accustomed to Damm playing Sherlock Holmes. There are even some Sherlock Holmes peripherals that use Damm's face.
"Boss, it will probably take about three months." Zoroark gave a time. Teng Shu didn't say anything after listening to it. Three months, by that time, The Grudge 2 will have been released, and he can start preparing to shoot Sherlock Holmes 3. As for Tomie: Unlimited, Teng Shu plans to wait until after finishing filming Sherlock Holmes.
After explaining something to Zoroark and asking him to contact Dam when the time comes and ask Dam to set aside the time, Teng Shu left the office. He had not been to the Care and Welfare Home for a while, so he planned to go and see Dean Lillian and the Dragonites there.
Chapter 377 Sakaki’s vest fell off!
The caring welfare home remains the same as always, or perhaps this small place will always remain like this. After all, every city has an welfare home, which is not only to absorb the stray Pokémon in this city, but also to absorb the stray Pokémon in the surrounding towns. After all, not every village and town can afford enough funds to take care of these unfortunate little guys.
Therefore, the Alliance usually only establishes an orphanage in a town, and this orphanage is often also responsible for absorbing stray Pokémon from surrounding small villages and towns.
"There has been no improvement in the phenomenon of abandoned Pokémon. Although the Alliance has been promoting it, it seems to have no effect at the moment." When Dean Lillian saw Teng Shu, she sighed to Teng Shu. Teng Shu shook his head after hearing this. This kind of thing is indeed unavoidable.
It's all too easy to abandon a Pokémon.
Teng Shu held his chin and looked at Dean Lillian in front of him. Dean Lillian was now taking care of these Pokémon, and Dragonite was lying there quietly watching.
Lillian looked at the Pokémon with a gentle look in her eyes, and she hugged Rattata with a gentle gesture, holding her in her arms, bringing some comfort and solace to the little Rattata.
"Dean Lillian is so kind." Teng Shu sighed as he looked at Rattata. Rattata is a very common Pokémon, but Dean Lillian is still very patient with it.
Teng Shu chatted with Director Lillian at the Guan Ai Welfare Home for a while and then left. He still needed to go back and write the script for "Sherlock Holmes 3" and he needed to make some changes to the plot.
"According to the old tradition, Sherlock Holmes 3 will have at least three episodes, so this is the first episode." Teng Shu sat in his room, resting his chin on the computer in front of him, and began to think about the plot of the third Sherlock Holmes.
There are actually quite a few Sherlock Holmes cases, but some of them are short stories. It is too difficult to adapt short stories into a TV series, so sometimes some changes and sacrifices have to be made. This time, Teng Shu plans to refer to the plots of other movies and then integrate them.
"Then what about the first episode, The Phantom of Baker Street? No, no, it's good, but it's based on Sherlock Holmes' fan fiction after all. But maybe I can take out Jack the Ripper and make a separate episode, and then write about how Sherlock Holmes solves the case." Teng Shu seemed to be thinking about something. He originally thought of the content of the most classic theatrical version of Death Note.
Although there are other theatrical versions, in Teng Shu's opinion, the other theatrical versions of Bleach are not very good. Some of the reasonings in those theatrical versions are rather far-fetched, and it is not known whether they are traditional. Anyway, every theatrical version of Bleach has to explode something, and if it doesn't explode, it seems as if the bloodline is not pure enough.
Either blow up the building or blow up the Ferris wheel, and later on they even want to blow up the entire Tokyo. It can only be said that the whole scene and the threat are indeed huge, but if the same routine is used too much, it will still make people feel a little tired, and as the number of episodes of Bleach continues to increase, the methods of committing crimes have been almost used up, and the production team has to start making some new things.
Teng Shu had even seen a theatrical version of "Million Dollar Pentagon" before, in which the various character settings and plot logic reasoning were a bit unusual, and it became more and more like an action movie, with all kinds of big scenes. The reasoning became a bit far-fetched, and many clues were delivered in various ways, which was very disappointing.
"The Phantom of Baker Street" is one of the better ones among these theatrical versions. It is relatively profound and the arrangements are quite surprising. Coupled with the popularity of Sherlock Holmes, it naturally becomes a very outstanding theatrical version.
"Why not just use a movie?" Teng Shu thought for a moment, then slowly typed out "A Murderer in the Dark" on the computer screen, and then added a question mark at the end.
"Alamy", an Indian movie that Teng Shu thinks is pretty good.
As for Indian movies, Teng Shu never had much hope for movies from this region before. After all, most of the time, Indian movies are always confusing, and the biggest feature of Indian movies is actually their length.
Normally, in people's impression, the length of a movie is often about one and a half hours. Some longer ones may reach two hours, but these can be said to be a minority. The vast majority are around 90 minutes to 100 minutes.
However, Sammo Hung's films usually start at two hours, and sometimes are even longer. The length of some films can be jaw-dropping. The reason is the demand of Sammo Hung's domestic market. After all, in Sammo Hung's view, a movie is so expensive, and it is not cost-effective if the watching time is too short, so most of Sammo Hung's films are long and boring.
But in fact, whether a movie is long and boring or not depends entirely on the script and shooting level of the movie. If the shooting is classic enough, then even two hours will still make people want to see more. But if it drags on, then some people will leave after an hour.
In Teng Shu's opinion, "A True Story" is a very good movie. This movie was later remade into a domestic film, and the name of the remake was called "A True Story", which can be regarded as a part of the "A True Story" series.
The movie "A Murderer" mainly tells the story of a man who decided to conceal the fact and fight wits and courage with the police in order to protect his wife and daughter whom he accidentally killed. It can be summarized in a very simple sentence.
If we describe it in detail, it is actually that the male protagonist's daughter was targeted by someone, and photos were taken to threaten her. As a result, when he went to threaten his daughter, the mother and daughter accidentally killed her and buried her. Then the father came back and found out about this, and then began to think of ways to help his wife and daughter solve this problem. Because his wife and daughter both killed people accidentally, it is called manslaughter.
There are also many twists and turns here. The first twist is that the man pried open the body and found out that the other person was not dead at the time, but was buried alive. The second one is that the police had some evidence, but when they dug it up in the end, they found that there was no corpse inside.
What impressed Teng Shu the most was that the male protagonist finally hid the body under the police station. However, because the police station had been completed and he did not explain, the guy's body was buried there forever.
However, the plot arrangement, the battle of wits and courage, and the final reversal are all very outstanding. It's just that in the original version of Manslaughter, the protagonist and his family lived happily together in the end, and the male protagonist did not confess his guilt, but in the remake, the male protagonist finally admitted his crime.
Of course, Teng Shu felt that the explanation here was not particularly abrupt. After all, when the male protagonist saw traces of erasure on the test paper submitted by his little daughter, he knew that lying to his child had affected the child's healthy growth, although there was also the reason of catering to domestic review requirements.
"Although Sherlock Holmes is involved and the case will definitely be solved in the end, it can also explore human nature, family, fatherly love and so on." Teng Shu nodded contentedly. In this way, the story can be finished in one episode. If he is even more ruthless, he can even split it into two parts. In this way, he only needs to think about one more episode.
As for the third episode, after thinking about it, Teng Shu decided to make an episode based on the Ripper, but this time Teng Shu added some main line elements into it. When Holmes solves the problem, he will touch the tail of the Squid King, paving the way for the Squid King's appearance. At the same time, the Squid King's appearance is also to pave the way for Moriarty.
"Moriarty...Mr. Sakaki? I don't know what Sakaki has been doing during this period." When thinking of Sakaki, Teng Shu thought of Team Rocket, and when thinking of Team Rocket, Teng Shu thought of Mewtwo. Mewtwo was tortured a lot by those guys on Team Rocket. I don't know if Mewtwo has solved the problems of Team Rocket now.
Time is like the holidays in school days. Yesterday I was still saying that I would do my holiday homework tomorrow, but in the blink of an eye, the holiday was over.
The Grudge 2 has also been taken off the screen, having grossed billion yuan at the box office, a pretty good number. However, the audience was not given a chance to relax for even a minute before the second film from Ghost Pictures, The First Commandment, which also had a script written by Teng Shu himself, was released.
The entire film market holds different attitudes towards this film. Some people believe that anything produced by Teng Shu must be a masterpiece, and say that they will definitely contribute movie tickets to watch it, while others believe that if it is not shot by Teng Shu, it will be difficult to achieve the same effect as Teng Shu, so they plan to wait and see.
["The First Commandment", a very unique movie, do you really understand it? ]
[Analyzing "The First Commandment" from the perspective of psychology and sociology, the view of a doctor who was once imprisoned for studying sociology]
[Has Director Teng Shu's talent been completely exhausted? Talking about the fall of this rising star director from "The First Commandment"]
"These people, my movie Ju-Jou 2 has just been taken off the screen, and they've already made me feel like I'm about to quit the entertainment industry." Teng Shu looked at the comments on his phone and said with a helpless look on his face, while picking up the cup in front of him and taking a sip of hot tea.
"After all, boss, you have basically eaten all the meat in the horror film industry, and others can only drink soup. We had finally planned to grab a wave of box office revenue when The Grudge 2 was released, but your movie was released again. You don't allow others to eat the meat or drink the soup, so it's a good thing that others don't beat you to death." Zoroark said seriously.
Teng Shu's mouth twitched, and then he touched the little Q in his arms. His head hurt a little. What did he mean by eating meat and not giving soup to others? It was as if he was doing some kind of monopoly business.
Teng Shu feels that his speed in filming movies is not particularly fast, and he still leaves some spare time. It can't be considered a monopoly or anything like that.
"Today is the premiere day of "The First Commandment", right?" Teng Shu yawned. Several screenings of "The First Commandment" had already ended, and the box office had reached 1 billion, a pretty good number.
"Yes, boss. Do you want to go and see it?" Zoroark was eager to try. If Teng Shu went to see a movie, then it would go with him. Then, if it went with him, it wouldn't have to go to work. Watching a movie was also a way to relax.
"No, today is an important day for "Youth Comics", and "The First Commandment" is written by me, so of course I know the plot." Teng Shu waved his hand and didn't pay much attention to this matter. He really didn't have much interest in reading "The First Commandment". After all, he had read it before, and reading it now would just be reading it for the second time.
Compared to going to the cinema to watch The First Commandment, Teng Shu is now concerned about only two things. One is the [The First Commandment: 43257 Fear Value] in his list. The appearance of this fear value proves Teng Shu's idea that if someone else shoots the script he wrote, they can also receive normal fear values, which is enough.
The second thing is his boys' comics.
"Are the results of the single volume out now?" Teng Shu asked Fugui who was standing beside him. After hearing what Teng Shu said, Fugui pressed the refresh button, and then real-time statistical data appeared on it.
Three million, two hundred and one thousand copies.
Teng Shu narrowed his eyes. The data was pretty good, but he felt it was not enough. After all, today was the day when the single volumes of "Batman" and "Superman" were released.
The appearance of "Superman" and "Batman" did receive good reviews, and they have been at the top of the reading list for some time, so it was natural for them to be published as a single volume. At present, it seems that the performance of this single volume is still very good, and Teng Shu is very satisfied with it.
After all, if these comics sell well, future superhero movies will be able to get more box office and attention, and at the same time, they can also create personal IPs for these characters. Teng Shu now plans to promote the IPs, and after that, he will be able to get good long-term returns.
“Then we can start preparing for the plot of The Dark Knight, and then we’ll have to hand it over to Nolan. Nolan’s narrative style is quite suitable for this kind of movie.” Teng Shu looked at the data in front of him with satisfaction, because after refreshing once, the sales volume increased a lot.
If this continues, these two works will gain popularity, and the next step will be to see the subsequent promotion and publicity.
Just when Teng Shu was about to wait and see, he felt his cell phone vibrate, which made him pick it up and take a look, and then he saw that it was a message from Mewtwo.
【Look at the Internet】
This was a message from Chaomeng. Teng Shu curiously opened the webpage and found a piece of news that was incredibly popular. It had just been released and had been read over 100 million times in just ten minutes.
[The surprising identity of Team Rocket's boss! Sakaki of the Earth! 】
"My fucking Sakaki's vest fell off? How did that happen? Who did it?" A hundred thousand questions arose in Teng Shu's mind. Could it be Mewtwo?
Chapter 378: Super Dreams of Making Games
"You did it?" Teng Shu sat in the living room and looked around. This house was not his, and he didn't even know its location before. It was Mewtwo who told him, so Teng Shu came here to find Mewtwo.
But Teng Shu really didn't expect that Mewtwo could actually expose Sakaki's identity, and Mewtwo actually lived here. Although this house is not a very luxurious house, it is also a single-family house in the Pokémon world. It is the dream house of many people, and the location is also very good. When Teng Shu came, he saw a supermarket and subway station nearby.
Such a house won't be cheap.
"Well, when I was fighting wits with these people, I inadvertently determined Sakaki's identity, and then posted this matter on the Internet." Mewtwo came over with tea. It looked very comfortable at the moment. Teng Shu looked at Mewtwo with a subtle expression. This Mewtwo guy is really unique.
They were able to find evidence of Sakaki's identity. Now I think Sakaki must be very worried, but Teng Shu was mentally prepared for Sakaki's identity being exposed. It was just that Teng Shu thought that this matter would be revealed by Xiaozhi, but he didn't expect that Mewtwo would take action while Xiaozhi was still growing.
But it is normal if you think about it carefully. Anyway, Sakaki's identity was exposed relatively early in the anime, and Sakaki hid himself afterwards and started acting as the boss of Team Rocket. So now Mewtwo's move has put the plot on the right track.
However, Teng Shu didn't care. After all, Sakaki was no longer of any use to him. Teng Shu had asked Sakaki to play Moriarty in Sherlock Holmes before, but Teng Shu was worried that Sakaki's identity would be exposed and affect the subsequent filming, so he spent some time filming the relevant scenes of Moriarty first.
As for whether to create a new villain after Moriarty's death, it depends on the audience's thoughts. Teng Shu even thought about letting Moriarty and Holmes fall off the waterfall together and exit the stage in the same way as in the original work, but later, considering the amazing money-making ability of Sherlock Holmes' IP, Teng Shu gave up this idea.
Now that Sakaki has been exposed, Teng Shu can then announce Moriarty's identity and gain more attention and traffic. To some extent, Sakaki is really a kind-hearted person. Even if his vest has fallen off, this guy has done something beneficial to Teng Shu. Teng Shu even wants to give Sakaki a year-end bonus.
"You are really awesome, but did you buy this house?" Teng Shu didn't take Sakaki's matter to heart. Although Sakaki's identity instantly exploded the Alliance's network after it was exposed, Teng Shu knew about this matter, and if it was as expected, Sakaki should not have been arrested by the Alliance. After all, Sakaki was able to get the position of Alliance Gym Leader and even stayed there for a long time, so he was still very capable.
It would be a worrying thing if the league could capture Sakaki directly, because then they would have to worry about whether Sakaki has any other plans. Sakaki is a very tricky guy. Later, Team Rocket did not completely disappear, and was even developing in secret.
It's outrageous that the three members of Team Rocket in the animation all followed Ash in the later stages.
