Pokémon's Lord of Fear

Teng Shu also thought about making it like Sherlock Holmes, a human detective and a Pokémon assistant, but it was still difficult to explain, so Teng Shu gave up the idea.

Chapter 390: The No. Scholar in a Bad Movie

After returning to the company, Teng Shu handed the editing work of "Sherlock Holmes 3" to the post-production department. Editing a TV series is relatively easier, at least it is not very difficult and it is more convenient to handle. Although there are some details that need to be controlled by Teng Shu, Teng Shu did not plan to do anything else during this period, so staying in the company is just right to deal with it.

"Boss, Team Rocket has been suppressed by the league and is now having a hard time breathing. However, it is said that under the leadership of a senior official, they have moved into a darker place to recuperate." Zoroark came over and handed Teng Shu a document. Teng Shu took a look at it. It said that Team Rocket has basically been disbanded at this moment. After all, Team Rocket's boss Osaka Sakaki has been arrested.

Senior cadre Apollo surrendered himself, and also implicated a large number of middle and low-level cadres. As for ordinary members, it was difficult for them to survive under the encirclement of the alliance, so Team Rocket was in chaos at the moment. The interrogation of Sakaki by the alliance and his subsequent detention were all proceeding in an orderly manner.

In order to prevent the remaining members of the Rockets from having evil intentions, the league sent out a special team to protect Sakaki and prevent him from being taken away. Those guys are all retired or resigned champions, and although they are a bit older, they still retain championship-level strength.

Teng Shu felt that unless the Rockets had Mewtwo, they should not even think about taking Sakaki away from this lineup. It was absolutely impossible, even if they asked people from other leagues to handle it, after all, these people were all champions.

In the past, Teng Shu was very curious about what kind of life these champions in the Pokémon League led. After all, a long time has passed since the establishment of the Pokémon League, and countless champions have been born in such a long time, so theoretically there should be quite a few champions.

And now Teng Shu's guess has indeed been proved, there are indeed many champions, or even a lot. After these people retired, they were not idle, but accepted the league's employment and became the league's combat force. So in the final analysis, the fact that the villains in the animation can cause trouble only means that the league does not want to deal with them.

If the league gets serious, none of these guys will be able to escape.

"Even if Team Rocket becomes a third-rate force in the future, there will still be new dark organizations emerging." Teng Shu put the report aside. He didn't pay much attention to the affairs of Team Rocket. After all, he knew very well that given the current state of human society, it was impossible to eliminate the dark forces.

Where there is light there is darkness. Everyone has a dark side in their heart to a greater or lesser extent. The difference is that some people can control themselves, while others cannot, and thus fall into darkness and start to do evil.

Teng Shu even suspected that the alliance itself knew about the existence of these dark organizations, but the reason why they sometimes ignored it was to create a unified dark force to rule and govern other small forces and restrain them, which could also make the region relatively stable.

But it’s hard to say. After all, this approach seems a bit outrageous to Teng Shu.

After all, the Rockets have done something evil. One can only say that the league either has other more important things to deal with, or that these champions just want to live an ordinary life after retirement and don't want to care about the miserable lives of other people. Otherwise, it is really hard to explain.

"By the way, boss, isn't our company expanding recently?" Zoroark remembered something and said with a strange look on his face. Teng Shu was stunned for a moment after hearing it, and then nodded. It was indeed true. Of course he knew this. It was even his money that allowed the company to start operating, expand, and become increasingly large.

But why did Zoroark suddenly say this? Teng Shu was a little confused, and just when Teng Shu was thinking, Zoroark also handed over a new file. Teng Shu took it and found that it was a director's file. The name of this director was also very interesting. The other party was called Huang Feng, a very strange name even in the Pokémon world.

"What's wrong?" Teng Shu took a look at the director's file. It was nothing special. He had been shooting commercials and short films most of the time after his debut. His most famous work was a short film called "Fruit Trees Under the Tornado", which won the Best Short Film Narrative Award. It was quite interesting, but there couldn't be many such people in the company. It could only be said that they were everywhere.

Geniuses are also divided into levels. Some geniuses are geniuses in one region, some are geniuses in several regions, and some geniuses are superior to other geniuses.

This director may be a genius in the eyes of others, but in Ghost Pictures, he becomes an ordinary person, an insignificant ordinary person.

"This director...he has a screenwriter friend working with him, and during this period of time they wrote a script...ah, it's just that this script is rather weird, I don't think very highly of it." Zoroark said with a strange expression, while Teng Shu had already focused his attention on the other side, he was currently looking at the script in his hand.

Sharknado

Teng Shu rubbed his eyes. He admitted that he was a little confused when he saw the name of the script. He even suspected that he had read it wrong. After all, the name was too strange and very familiar. At this moment, Teng Shu even suspected that the other party was a time traveler. This made Teng Shu open the script in his hand and take a closer look.

[One day, a tornado of a huge scale, the largest in the history of the alliance, swept through an ordinary seaside city, and this tornado swept up a large number of megalodon sharks living in the sea.]

?

Teng Shu slowly typed out a question mark. The more he watched this plot, the more familiar it looked. Apart from the various sharks that turned into Pokémon like Megalodon, and Megalodon's unevolved form, the Toothfish, most of the plot was similar to the silly movie in his previous life.

The film industry is full of all kinds of movies. Some movies are well-made and have outstanding acting skills. People enjoy watching them and have a refreshing feeling. They may even have the unique experience of participating in the movie. This is also the goal pursued by most directors. Their goal is to make a movie that will go down in history.

But as the saying goes, everyone's joys and sorrows are different, not everyone can make an outstanding movie that will go down in history. Most people may make very ordinary movies, and after watching them, you will lose the impression of them after a few days. However, the market is flooded with a large number of such movies, and only outstanding movies can stand out and gain recognition from the market and the audience.

Therefore, this has also led to the fact that most directors with pursuits and ambitions are engaged in a crazy internal competition. You shoot stories, I shoot connotations. Some movies cannot even be released because they are full of criticism of social phenomena and propaganda of ideas. Anyway, they are the type that after watching them, the entire crew will be sent to jail and eat the government's food.

There are also many directors who involve special effects and stars. You invite top-tier stars, and I invite superstars. Your actors' salary is 50 million, and my actor's salary starts at 100 million. Don't ask whether it's worth it. Anyway, the money is given, and the time comes to make a lot of money from those fans.

This has also led to a very chaotic film market. Everyone has a lot of ideas and a lot of thoughts, making the world a mess. Under such circumstances, there is a group of people who are the landslides in the clear stream of the film industry. They do not compete internally, do not pay high salaries, and even hire strangers that no one knows. Their scripts are also shoddy.

The typical example here is all kinds of online movies. The coal bosses in the movies have only one requirement when selecting cast members, and that is that the heroine must have an internet celebrity face and a turbulent bosom. These people don't care about the integrity of the plot and the acting skills of the actors at all, and they equally kill every innocent audience who clicks in to watch.

This kind of movie is generally called a bad movie.

However, as the saying goes, there are top talents in every field. Even if it is a bad movie, there are people who have brought out the best in this field, the best in art, and the best in novelty.

Sharknado is the best among them.

Shelter Pictures is a magical film and television company. When other film and television companies are busy shooting big productions to make money, only Shelter Pictures is working and has never turned back on the road of bad films. It has produced many eye-catching films, such as Sharknado and Atlantic Rim.

There are even series such as "One Piece" that imitates Pirates of the Caribbean and "Transformers" that imitates Transformers, which are all works of this company. Among them, this company is most famous for its copycat works. Basically, whatever is popular in the market, they will quickly remake a copycat film and then openly take advantage of the popularity.

Teng Shu was also curious at first, how could such a company make a profit? After all, these big productions are very expensive. Later, Teng Shu looked at it and realized that he was too naive. This company did not have any big productions at all. The special effects were so rubbish that they looked like they were made by beginners. The only requirement was that they were cheap enough, but because their selling prices were not high, they could often make money, which was outrageous.

However, despite the fact that there have been many bad movies, the Sharknado series is still very profitable and even caused nationwide discussion before it was released, probably because the plot of the story is completely illogical.

When Teng Shu is shooting a movie, he still needs to use some logic. If it is Sherlock Holmes, he has to pay attention to details. But Sharknado is different. After all, how can sharks survive without swimming after leaving the sea? It is still a question, but people don't care at all. Anyway, the setting is set like this.

You don't agree? Take the photo yourself.

Shelter Films has grown in this wild way, creating a group of viewers who don't read the titles carefully.

At this moment, Teng Shu saw the plot of Sharknado in the script in his hand, but when he thought of Mr. Kirk, who was similar to Hitchcock, and his other work "Rear Window", Teng Shu felt relieved. Although the Pokémon world is not the world of the previous life, for some reason, some classic works have been projected over, so it is reasonable that there is Sharknado.

"This script." Teng Shu's mouth twitched. He didn't know what to say. After all, this script was too weird. Although it could be filmed, it was hard to say what would happen after filming. It might also affect the reputation of Ghost Pictures.

Teng Shu still cares a lot about word of mouth. So far, none of the movies produced by Ghost Pictures have received particularly low ratings. Sharknado, although silly, probably won't receive a very high rating, unless...

Teng Shu had an idea. Ghost Company would not work, but when the time comes, he could name the production "Lingyou Company" and there shouldn't be any problem. As for the future, interesting sand sculpture movies like this one would all be produced by Lingyou Company. Ghost Company would still adhere to its own boutique route, and Teng Shu also planned to carefully select all subsequent scripts.

This also helped Teng Shu solve a problem, which was the filming of "Tomie: Unlimited".

The reason why Teng Shu did not choose to film Tomie but chose to film Inner Dimension, was because he was worried that the filming of Tomie would lead to a drop in the ratings. Although Inner Dimension is also a horror film, it does incorporate some psychological factors, so for this time, Teng Shu even planned to directly invite a specialized psychology professor to guide the filming.

"You can make this movie, but it cannot be under the name of our company. You should register a subsidiary company now and name it Lingyou Company, and then use this company to produce it." Teng Shu made up his mind. It was rather tiring to keep shooting high-quality movies. It was also quite interesting to shoot some bad movies occasionally. Although Teng Shu did not plan to shoot it himself, he could let his subordinates in the company shoot it.

"Eh? Okay, boss." Zoroark was a little surprised, but still nodded in agreement. Since Teng Shu said so, it would just do it.

Teng Shu looked at the script in his hand. He planned to see how the market reacted. If the market response was good and it could make money, he could also launch a sequel like 23456 and make a lot of money.

After all, the investment cost of Sharknado is not very high. If it becomes popular, the profit will be really amazing.

"These movies have a kind of beauty that is like playing Go, where you accidentally place the pieces on the board and are directly judged as the loser." Teng Shu sighed, then put away the script. The investment requirement for this script was not high, he could just pay for it himself. Teng Shu also planned to see what the return rate of this movie could be, and once the box office came out, he could start attracting advertisements.

By then we can build a few more hospitals.

Teng Shu touched his chin and said, speaking of the hospital, it seemed that his hospital has been completed and we can go over and take a look.

Chapter 391 The Red Letter

"Ah? Am I filming a movie? It's approved?!" At this moment at Ghost Pictures, Huang Feng was looking at Zoroark in front of him with astonishment, his voice carrying a hint of surprise and disbelief. Frankly speaking, Huang Feng now even suspected that there was something wrong with his ears, otherwise how could he have heard that the script was approved.

Huang Feng had read the script sent by his good friend. After reading it, Huang Feng felt that his friend was probably completely crazy, because if his friend was not crazy, he probably would not be able to write such an outrageous script.

Look, look, what is a work created under mental disorder? A tornado can bring out so many megalodon sharks, which is a very outrageous thing. Moreover, this tornado also hit a coastal city, and then this thing that turned into a shark tornado actually caused many people to be bitten to death by megalodon sharks?

At that moment, Huang Feng really had the idea of ​​grabbing his friend by the collar and asking him if there was something wrong with his brain. After all, if there was nothing wrong with his brain, he probably wouldn't be able to write such a stupid plot.

However, Huang Feng could not resist the pleading of his long-time friend, so he handed the script to Zoroark and asked his boss's secretary to submit it to see if the boss would like it.

Of course, Huang Feng himself did not have too many hopes. In Huang Feng's view, his rich second-generation boss, although young, has already won the position of the league's best director. He naturally has the ability to read scripts, not to mention that those popular scripts were originally written by his boss.

But unexpectedly, my boss agreed!

This is simply outrageous.

"Yes, it's approved, but the boss wants to use the name of Spirit Pictures instead of Ghost Pictures, and then the company will only be responsible for shooting these stupid movies." Zoroark said expressionlessly. Huang Feng's mouth twitched after hearing this. Stupid movie? There's nothing wrong with that. Zoroark himself also thinks this movie is too stupid.

But since the boss decided to shoot, Huang Feng naturally had no objection. Although Huang Feng was once a practitioner in the film industry with his own pursuits, as time went by, Huang Feng gradually saw through this world. This world is a nonsense world, a crazy world, a world that requires material foundation.

Although dreams are very beautiful, years of poverty have made Huang Feng gradually see through the reality. Now as long as he has money, Huang Feng can shoot anything.

So Huang Feng took over the filming of this movie. He contacted his old friends and planned to discuss how to better shoot such a movie.

"Has "The First Commandment" been released? But this box office is indeed a little less in comparison." Teng Shu was looking at the box office revenue of "The First Commandment" at the moment. Now "The First Commandment" has been released, but relatively speaking, this box office is indeed a little less, but in Teng Shu's opinion it is still acceptable, and this low amount is only in Teng Shu's opinion.

If placed in the context of other horror films, this result cannot be said to be bad, it can even be said to be a very good type.

The only thing that gave Teng Shu a headache was the fear value. Teng Shu only got three chances to draw the lottery, and now the fear value required for a lottery opportunity remained at 100,000 per time.

"Lottery." Teng Shu yawned. He was no longer particularly concerned about what the lottery could give out. In the protagonist's opinion, anything given out in the lottery was acceptable, and Teng Shu himself didn't mind.

[You received a red letter]

[You got a strange dice]

【You have received advanced acting guidance】

?

Teng Shu was stunned for a moment. Wow, he had been thinking that the rewards given during this period were rather ordinary and nothing new, and he was thinking that he would probably collect these things in the future. However, he did not expect that he would be given two strange things this time. At least Teng Shu had never seen these things before.

[Advanced acting guidance: You can now detect some flaws in the actor's acting skills. After giving guidance, the actor's acting skills will better meet your requirements.]

It's a pretty standard skill, but Teng Shu has never drawn it before, and this is the first time he has drawn it. However, in Teng Shu's opinion, it's still very good. After all, when Teng Shu was filming a movie, he also found that it was sometimes troublesome to communicate with the actors about the effects he wanted. In the final analysis, it was because he knew too little about acting. If he could know more, then communication would be more convenient.

[A strange dice; a dice containing numbers from 1 to 100. When performing luck-related events, you can roll the dice once and get a corresponding increase or decrease in luck based on the corresponding value. The highest value is .]

Teng Shu was a little surprised when he looked at this thing. It was the first time for him to draw such a bizarre thing. However, the effect of this thing was very good to some extent. Although there were some minor problems, such as this thing would also reduce luck. It could be said to be a double-edged sword for a prop of this level.

If used well, if you throw out a hundred, you can probably win the jackpot by buying any lottery ticket. If you throw out a 0, you will be really unlucky. Anyway, in Teng Shu's opinion, this thing is still useful, although it is also a bit entertaining.

[A bloodstained letter: A letter stained with blood, from nowhere]

A prop of unknown meaning, Teng Shu was a little confused. This was the first time he had ever gotten such a thing. However, Teng Shu still took out the letter. As soon as he took it out, a bloody smell emerged, and the blood stains on the letter were drying up quickly, as if they had been left for a long time.

Teng Shu opened the letter. Although it was sticky with blood, it was not difficult to open. It was even relatively easy to open. After opening it, Teng Shu saw some beautiful handwriting.

【Mr. Shunsuke Kobayashi, I am writing to you】

Seeing this, Teng Shu knew who wrote the letter. After all, since the name Kobayashi Shunsuke was mentioned, it was impossible for Teng Shu not to know it. But what Teng Shu didn’t know was why Kayako’s letter was in his hands?

Teng Shu looked at it curiously.

[Kobayashi Shunsuke, I'm sorry to call you this, but I really don't know how to express my feelings for you. When I think of your face, I can't stop trembling all over. I'm so sorry, my body is shaking right now, but I decided to express my feelings and my love for you.]

[Mr. Kobayashi Shunsuke, I think I probably like you, or I really do like you. I even know all your preferences, your address, your every move, and even the bottles you drank from, which I carefully collect.]

[But classmate Shunsuke Kobayashi, I know you already have a girlfriend, and you and her are very affectionate. After all, when you were being affectionate, I was listening to your voices under the bed, and I felt as if you were pressing on me at that moment, which made me extremely happy. I originally wanted to give up this relationship, but I heard from other classmates that you had a fight with that bitch.]

[So, classmate Shunsuke Kobayashi, why don't you look at me? Look at me, look at me, the one who truly loves you. I will always love you. No matter how you treat me, I will not have any complaints. I can even die for you. Shunsuke Kobayashi, Shunsuke Kobayashi, Shunsuke Kobayashi, Shunsuke Kobayashi, Shunsuke Kobayashi.]

Teng Shu didn't read it. The letter was very long. However, what made Teng Shu helpless was that the back was all Kobayashi Shunsuke's name, and then it became more and more distorted, and finally disappeared. The back of the letter was also written with Kobayashi Shunsuke's name, and there was even a photo on it. Although it was also stained with blood, Teng Shu could see that the photo belonged to Kayako.

“This is Kayako’s letter, right? It looks like it was written when Kayako was trying to muster up the courage to confess her feelings to Kobayashi Shunsuke, but…” Teng Shu was a little embarrassed to say. He thought it was a good thing that Kayako didn’t send it out, otherwise, Kayako would probably be disliked by Kobayashi Shunsuke. After all, Kayako’s behavior was no different from that of a pervert.

Teng Shu even thought that when Kobayashi Shunsuke saw Kayako hiding under his bed listening to the sounds, he was about to call the police.

[You have finished reading Kayako's unsent letter. The bond between you and Kayako has deepened. Kayako's hostility towards you has spontaneously disappeared, and she will be more intimate with you.]

"So this thing increases the intimacy with evil spirits?" Teng Shu's expression was a little strange, and at this moment the letter was automatically burned. Teng Shu was a little amused. He originally thought it would be some strange thing that would trigger a task or something, but he didn't expect it to have such an effect.

However, it is a good thing that Kayako's hostility towards him has completely disappeared, although Teng Shu feels that it is of little use. After all, Teng Shu does not live in Kayako's world. If he lives in Kayako's world, then this reward will naturally be very useful, but now, that's it.
