Pokémon's Lord of Fear

The whole process was from the cockroach's perspective, and the director particularly liked to shoot in a shaking manner, which made Teng Shu want to vomit.

When shooting movies, except for those pseudo-documentaries, most of the shots are required to be relatively stable. The shaking or shifting of the lens are all manifestations of the lens language.

But this movie, this shot looks like it was shot by a drunk.

Teng Shu couldn't help but look up the director of this movie.

[Jie Xia: A famous director in the alliance, he is good at surprising the audience. His works also have the style of postmodern art cyberpunk. He is an individual.]

Teng Shu silently closed the introduction.

"Could it be that this movie is for washing?" Teng Shu thought of some rumors in the film and television circles.

How many movies are there each year? This is a question that is difficult to guess.

If you don’t know much about movies, you might think that there are only those movies on the cinema APP, but in fact, there are more than 400 movies a year that have obtained film screening licenses. If you count the whole world, there are even more.

So do these movies actually make money? Not necessarily.

Some movies may not even be shown in theaters, and the audience may not even know that these movies exist.

So why are there so many movies? This is an interesting question.

Anyway, as for Teng Shu himself, he feels that this "Lucario" is really unbearable to watch, and the acting skills of the lead actor Lucario have returned to their original state.

There is absolutely no trace of performance.

After all, there really isn't any acting in it.

"It's understandable that this kind of movie failed." Teng Shu felt that this kind of assembly line garbage had no right to be produced and released. It was probably made into a pure Pokémon movie so that it could pass the review quickly.

Teng Shu dug out "Becoming the Strongest from Radha" again, and the rating of this movie was slightly better.

3.8 points.

Teng Shu confirmed that the full score was ten.

Teng Shu clicked it and saw that it was one hour and fifty-one minutes.

After finishing watching, Teng Shu lay down on the chair, staring at the ceiling with empty eyes. He felt like one hour and fifty-one minutes of his life had just been stolen.

Little Q, who had been watching with Teng Shu, was already lying on the table, twitching from time to time, proving that he was still alive.

The whole movie was a little normal, except for the leading Pokémon who also had no acting skills, and the Pokémon language communication without any subtitles. Throughout the whole movie, Teng Shu just watched Rattata calling there, and then calling with other Rattatas, calling with Charmeleon, and calling with Pteranodon.

Then the other Pokémon also screamed madly, and then Rada seemed to have suddenly realized something, started fighting, started to become stronger, and then stepped on those Pokémon and screamed loudly.

"Oh my God, Arceus!" Teng Shu rubbed his face.

His mind was now filled with Rada's devilish cry.

This kind of movie is indeed made for Pokémon, because Teng Shu can't understand it at all.

The most exciting thing is that there is a scene in the middle of the movie where [the protagonist becomes a little stronger, returns to find his family in danger, goes to their house in anger and gets beaten up, the villain kills the protagonist's family, the protagonist hugs his family and cries, then vows to become stronger and take revenge].

There is nothing wrong with this plot, after all, most movies have this plot.

But here's the thing.

Teng Shu looked at Lada holding another Lada and barking there, and he really didn't seem to be moved.

Little Q didn't even notice that the snacks he was holding had fallen to the ground.

Little Q was stunned.

Teng Shu rubbed his face.

"I suddenly feel that what Ada said seems to make some sense. Maybe the Pokémon market is really an untapped blue ocean." Teng Shu picked up the pen.

He's had enough of these bad movies.

He would rather write a special version of the Pokémon movie than continue to torture himself.

Chapter 45 It's Time to Find a Secretary

So the question is, if he wants to make a special version of the Pokémon movie, how should he adapt the script?

First of all, according to the rules summarized by Teng Shu himself, it would be best if no humans appeared in this movie.

A pure Pokémon movie, where all the characters are Pokémon, and there are no humans, and the ghosts can't be ghost Pokémon, but

[When the male protagonist Charmeleon was chatting with his wife, he accidentally received a Mimikyuu doll sent from his hometown, and then his Ditto wife had her tongue torn off]

[Charmeleon was suspected of being the murderer of his wife and was investigated by Officer Windy Dog. Charmeleon decided to return to his hometown to investigate the matter about Mary Shaw]

Teng Shu wrote a rough rewrite of the plot for the special edition of Pokémon "Dead Silence".

In fact, it is not very difficult to make a modified version of Pokémon. You just need to change all the protagonists in the original version of Dead Silence into Pokémon.

There are not even any special requirements for the type of Pokémon. After all, according to the research of doctors, different species of Pokémon can lay eggs.

"But this Mary Shaw..." Teng Shu scratched his head. He made changes very quickly, but when it came to Mary Shaw, Teng Shu felt a little embarrassed.

In the original story, Mary Shaw is an old woman with some scars on her body that prove her identity as an evil spirit, but strictly speaking, she doesn't look particularly scary, except for the tongue that looks a little weird.

At least in Teng Shu's opinion, Mary Shaw still has a long way to go compared to her predecessors Kayako and Sadako.

"The more gentle and lovely a Pokémon is in the eyes of Pokémon, the scarier it may become after putting on makeup and turning into an evil spirit." Teng Shu wrote his thoughts on the draft paper.

Then Chansey and Chappie might be a good choice. Turning these very gentle Pokémon into deadly evil spirits might scare the Pokémons, but it might also have the opposite effect.

Therefore, we still have to consider how to choose the casting after the short film of "After Turning Off the Lights" is released.

"It's really troublesome. Can't there be an excellent Pokémon movie in this world?" Teng Shu sighed. But at least the plot adaptation of "Dead Silence" has made some progress. After that, he can improve the plot while waiting for the company's market research results.

Time passed quickly as Teng Shu continued to adapt his script and perfect the script for his next movie.

Soon, "Dead Silence" also achieved its total box office results in its first week of release.

"Boss! Dead Silence has earned 1 billion at the box office!" Looking at the happy Fa Wu, Teng Shu also smiled.

In seven days, the box office reached 1 billion. There is definitely a big gap compared to the blockbusters in the previous life, but for this world, it is already a unique movie.

During this period, Silent's name has been on the hot search list. Although it is not number one every day, it can still maintain a position within the top ten.

Even Kaluni called to congratulate Teng Shu on the great success of his first directorial work.

It can be said that Teng Shu’s "Dead Silence" is the hottest movie in the league during this period.

"Boss, our company has also received some lawyers' letters. Please take a look." Fawu respectfully handed over a file bag. Teng Shu took it puzzledly, then opened it and took a look.

As soon as he saw it, Teng Shu knew it.

After all, Dead Silence is a horror film, and it goes beyond the genre of traditional horror films in this world, which means that the level of scariness of Dead Silence exceeds some people's expectations.

The result was that these people successfully sent themselves to the hospital while watching the movie.

Then the family members believed that the cause of the incident was that "Dead Silence" shot by Teng Shu was too scary, so they sent a lawyer's letter stating that they wanted to go to court with Ghost Films to resolve the dispute.

"All lawyer's letters like this should be handled by the Legal Department." Teng Shu handed the lawyer's letter back, feeling a little amused.

Watching horror movies is terrifying, and it was an outdated propaganda method in the past, but I didn’t expect that in the world of Pokémon, there are actually people who were scared to death and went to the hospital.

"Okay, boss. I've also received the receipt for the research report on the other matter you asked me to do before." Fawu handed over another USB flash drive. Teng Shu took it and glanced at Fawu.

This guy was, after all, the former general manager of this company. Why is he now acting like his full-time secretary?

"Fawu, aren't you tired of doing this every day?" Teng Shu couldn't help but ask as he plugged the USB drive into the computer.

Fawu has his other work to do, but it seems that no matter when he calls, Fawu always has time.

"It doesn't matter, boss. Those jobs are very easy." Fawu smiled, revealing his white teeth.

Teng Shu's mouth twitched.

Good guy.

I didn't expect that in my previous life, there were already workers who were competing internally, and when I came to the world of Pokémon, I found that there were also such competitions.

No, even if it's that competitive, my salary won't increase.

Teng Shu thought thoughtfully, maybe it's time to hire a secretary.

Otherwise, you can't let Fawu handle everything, right? If you don't know, you would think Fawu is your secretary.

[Research report on the special version of Pokémon movie in Kanto and Johto]

Teng Shu looked at the report on the computer, then waved to Fa Wu and asked him to leave. Then he sat quietly in the office, holding Xiao Q and looking at the investigation report in front of him.

This market research company is very professional and the various data are listed in great detail, but Teng Shu felt a bit of a headache after taking a look at it.

He flipped through it quickly, skipping over the coordinate system, fan diagrams and various strange mathematical models in the middle, and scrolled to the end.

[According to the survey results, there are very few potential audiences for Pokémon special edition movies, and the rate of return is low. It is not recommended to promote Pokémon special edition movies in Kanto and Chengdu.]

Teng Shu silently closed the document and clicked on the next research report on the Hoenn region, but he found that the endings were similar and he was not optimistic about the future of Pokémon movies.

Only in the Kalos region, where the champions are all actors, the reviews are slightly better, but generally speaking, it is not recommended.

"Well, let's do a test. If we can't collect fear points from Pokémon after turning off the lights, then we give up." Teng Shu shook his head. He had already watched it all. Basically, all regions in the alliance do not support Pokémon movies.

If the fear value cannot be harvested, then there is naturally no value in continuing to shoot.

Chapter 46 Meowth and Rattata

[The current accumulated fear value of "Dead Silence" is: 67339]

[Can I redeem the item? ]

Teng Shu sat in the office, lost in thought.

The way the fear value is calculated is a bit confusing. The box office has reached 1 billion, but the fear value is only increased by about 40,000.

However, Teng Shu still decided to exchange it.

[You have acquired the lens language (elementary)]

[Lens Language (Basic): The movies you shoot will make it easier for the audience to focus]

"That's all?" Teng Shu blinked. He was waiting for other rewards to pop up, but he didn't expect that there would be only this one reward?

This thing is not a bad thing. After all, keeping the audience's attention means it is easier to scare them, and you can earn a lot of fear points.

But there were two last time, why is there only one this time?
