Pokémon's Lord of Fear
Page 212
".It even has some metaphors. I personally think that this Ghost Wizard is still pretty good." At this time, an old lady on the Internet was doing a live broadcast to her audience, but this old lady was rather peculiar. It was a Gardevoir.
[Host, host, how do you think the movie The Devil Wears Prada compares to The Ring? ]
[I watched Ghost Story, it was really good, completely different from the other two bad movies]
[It is really hard to imagine that you can actually see such a unique movie, and in order to cater to some places]
"Okay, okay, everyone, please don't spoil the plot and affect other viewers' viewing experience!" Gardevoir said with a smile, and then began to think about the question mentioned in the first barrage.
"As for the question you raised, Black and White Magic, I think in terms of horror, there is no doubt that The Ring has the upper hand, but in terms of story and irony, I vote for The Wizard of Oz. After all, the movie The Wizard of Oz is actually about the workplace, and it can only be said that it uses ghosts to compare people." Gardevoir said with a sigh.
[Indeed, ghosts are more stubborn than humans, so why be a ghost?]
【This movie is so interesting, I highly recommend it! 】
[I want to give you a spoiler, actually at the end. (This user has been banned by the housing management for ten years)]
Looking at the lively barrage, Gardevoir laughed happily, and the same thing also happened in other live broadcast rooms. For a while, "The Untold Story" and "The Ring" became two must-see horror movies. As for "The Grudge" and another movie that was trying to attract attention, they flopped and had no box office revenue at all.
"Boss! Look at these people!" Zoroark handed the newspaper to Teng Shu angrily. Teng Shu took it and took a look. Then he found a report that read "Ghost Wizards Becomes Box Office Dark Horse. Has Director Teng Shu Run Out of Ideas?" Teng Shu smiled and shook his head.
"That's nothing, but I've seen the movie The Devil Wears Prada, and it's really interesting." Teng Shu smiled. This movie is quite interesting. Although it is full of metaphors, it actually contains a lot of horror elements. It is one of the few horror movies that can be watched in theaters in recent years.
However, Teng Shu is happy about this. In his opinion, if such a movie is well made, it deserves praise. After all, Teng Shu also hopes that the film market will be more active, instead of thinking of his name when thinking of horror movies, which would be a failure in the film industry.
Zoroark curled her lips. She had also watched Ghost Path Wizard, which was indeed very good. However, in Zoroark's opinion, Teng Shu's movies were the real scary ones. After all, after watching them, one would have a very strong feeling of suffocation, as if a Sadako was about to crawl out of one's eyes, which was chilling.
"Please pay attention to this screenwriter and director." Teng Shu said. Teng Shu really thought that this movie was very good, so Teng Shu planned to see if the screenwriter and director of this movie could still demonstrate such a level. If so, he would recruit them.
It is a recent domestic horror film. It has no cuts and is a pretty good horror film. If you are interested, you can go and watch it.
Chapter 425 Kayako’s autobiography?
Although Teng Shu said so, Zoroark sent people to contact the other party early. After all, this ghost wizard was obviously very popular this time, and capital is profit-seeking. As long as there is a possibility of making money, these capitals will chase and bite like wild dogs, and then try to fleece the sheep from here.
Therefore, most of the little stars and directors and screenwriters who suddenly become famous will quickly receive all kinds of resources after becoming famous. Then, how they will move forward and whether they can continue to be popular depends on the abilities of these lucky ones.
Some have good abilities and will continue to be popular, and even become first-tier stars, and have a good future. However, some people are just like everyone else, leaving behind a few struggling works, and then become live-streaming hosts, or wander around shopping malls in various small places to make money to support themselves.
There are too many individual examples here. Although it is easy to make money in this hellhole of an entertainment industry, it is still difficult to qualify to make money. Just strictly controlling one's daily diet and exercising from time to time to maintain weight is not a simple matter.
So Zoroark naturally knew about these things, so he planned to go over and solve this problem quickly, and contact these people at the same time to prevent them from being signed by other companies.
But Teng Shu didn't think too much about it. He was watching Kayako typing on the keyboard.
Maybe it was because the story of Kayako that Teng Shu had written before reminded Kayako of some not-so-nice things, so Kayako told Teng Shu that she wanted to use the computer with Teng Shu to write about her life. Teng Shu naturally agreed. After all, if she continued like this, it was possible to make money by publishing a novel like "The Grudge: Kayako's Life", and at the same time enrich the image of Kayako in the Grudge.
There is often not much introduction to the ghosts in horror movies. After all, the audience comes to watch these ghosts kill and slash everywhere. If the story starts to explain the ghosts' past and present in detail, not many people will want to watch it.
The story of Ju-Gong is similar. Although it briefly explains Kayako's basic story, it is just a general description. After that, Kayako goes on a killing spree. This is why the American versions of Ju-Gong III and II that were filmed later have more descriptions of Kayako's plot, such as Kayako's past, the reason why Kayako is so powerful, and Kayako's relatives.
Teng Shu had read film reviews before. It was said that Shimizu Takashi originally planned to include these things in The Grudge, but due to length issues and the opinions of the investors, it was not successful, so it was put into the American version of The Grudge.
"Uncle Teng Shu, good afternoon!" A boy's childish voice came from behind. Teng Shu lowered his head and saw Junxiong in normal human form, looking at him with a smile. At this moment, Junxiong did not look as scary as before, but more like an ordinary little boy.
"Good afternoon, Junxiong, I heard from your mother that you are planning to go to school?" Teng Shu smiled and touched Junxiong's head. Junxiong nodded excitedly, looking very excited.
Teng Shu felt a little amused when he saw Toshio's expression. It was he who arranged the school for Toshio to go to. It was an ordinary elementary school in Kanaz City. However, it was an extremely rare life experience for Toshio. The reason why Toshio could go to school was also related to Kayako.
Anyway, no one knows what Kayako did, but Toshio can go to school, but the prerequisite is that he stays in Kanaz City. Teng Shu did not comment on this. He did not have many movies to shoot during this period, and sometimes he needed to stay in Devon Company to handle affairs. Although Fugui has grown a lot under Teng Shu's training, it is still difficult for him to take over this part of the work.
So Teng Shu also stayed in Kanaz City during this period.
"Toshio, you must listen to your teacher when you go to school." Kayako also looked at Toshio and said, now the mother and son can survive normally in this world, but they don't need to eat or drink water, and if they are seen by ghost Pokémon, their true form will be detected, so this also makes Kayako a little troubled.
Teng Shu didn't think it mattered. He had seen the system's lottery before. The prize pool was updated from time to time. Every time it was updated, it would be refreshed and the prizes would be different. Teng Shu had seen a thing called [Evil Spirit Survival Card] before. This thing allowed evil spirits to become humans for a short period of time until their [human] life ended. Of course, they could also unlock this restriction by themselves in the process, but after unlocking it, they would need to obtain this card again to continue to become humans.
"Yes! Mom, I know!" Junxiong was a little excited. Teng Shu smiled and touched Junxiong's head. Junxiong, this unlucky guy, was no longer the evil spirit that could kill many victims alone after getting rid of the influence of the curse, but turned into an ordinary little boy.
In order to prevent Toshio's behavior from making things difficult for Teng Shu, Kayako also deliberately sealed Toshio's abilities.
Teng Shu still supported it. After all, children's emotions were unstable and they were easily excited sometimes. Once they got excited and exposed the nature of the evil spirit, Teng Shu would be in trouble. Although Teng Shu had two medals of courage, it would be better if he had less trouble.
Teng Shu stood next to Kayako and looked at her curiously.
The story of Kayako begins when she was a child, and in fact, Kayako's story is indeed similar to the character settings added later. Kayako's mother is a well-known shaman, so many people who are possessed or possessed will come to her. Then Kayako's mother feeds the cursed blood to her daughter, letting Kayako's body bear these things.
This made Kayako very painful, but Kayako's mother was indifferent and only trained Kayako's sister, letting her inherit her mantle and become a powerful shaman in the future.
Fortunately, Kayako's sister still cares about her, which makes Kayako feel a little kind towards her sister. If her sister didn't want to eliminate Kayako, Kayako probably wouldn't have killed her sister.
Kayako's father passed away when she was young. Her mother seemed to think that Kayako killed her father, which is why she hated Kayako so much. Growing up in such an environment, Kayako was also very unsociable. It was not until college that she fell in love with her first person - Shunsuke Kobayashi.
The reason was very simple. It was just because the other party called her, which made Kayako very satisfied.
"Ms. Kayako, with your personality, it seems that if I just tell you, 'I like you', I can make you my girlfriend." Teng Shu looked at Kayako's self-narration and the corners of his mouth twitched. Kayako's personality is really that kind of thing.
All I can say is that if Kayako had met a gentle man, a man who was good to his wife, then perhaps all these tragedies would not have happened.
"I did have that kind of personality at that time. Sometimes I also feel that I'm stupid." Kayako's mood was a little low. It seemed that thinking about this incident made Kayako recall some not-so-nice things. Teng Shu raised his eyebrows. He felt that what made Kayako uncomfortable was not the matter of Takeo Saeki.
"Mr. Kobayashi actually doesn't know you exist. He only knows that you are his classmate, but he doesn't know that you like him. And when you fell, he just wanted to take Toshio away and call the police first." Teng Shu comforted Kayako. He knew what Kayako was worried about.
Kayako's complete transformation into a grudge was also related to Kobayashi Shunsuke's escape at that time.
It's just that Kayako is an evil spirit and is not aware of this. As a director, Teng Shu knows that Kayako has a complicated feeling towards Kobayashi, a repressed feeling. But Kayako is indeed wronged. Although she met Kobayashi later, she did not betray her husband.
"I know, but Krillin should still be in the curse in the room, right?" Kayako smiled. She was affected by the curse at that time, and her mind was full of revenge and resentment, and she didn't have too many emotions. But now that she has calmed down, Kayako thinks more.
"Does that mean the curse is still in the room?" Teng Shu looked at Kayako with some curiosity. Kayako nodded, and she and Toshio came over, but the curse did not stop, but continued to stay inside.
"But after Toshio and I leave, the remaining curse in that world will generate a more ruthless me and Toshio, who will kill those who are infected with the curse, and then absorb them into the curse." Kayako seemed to see Teng Shu's curiosity, so she explained. Teng Shu then suddenly realized that this was the case.
So, Kayako who comes later is a worker generated by the resentment of the curse?
"It seems that if we want to solve this problem, we still need to seal off the Grudge, and at the same time, we cannot allow other people to be present." Teng Shu sighed, and he thought of Kayako's sister. He was about to succeed, but there was no way, he met a stupid teammate.
Kayako probably didn't have the ability to deal with her own sister at the time, so she could only use her resentment to influence the male supporting character, causing the other party to be possessed by Takeo Saeki's resentment and go out directly to deal with her sister.
Tsk tsk.
So even if you are an exorcist, you have to carry some truth with you. When you encounter someone who is not confronting you on the spiritual level, you can use the truth to protect yourself. Kayako's sister suffered this loss.
"Yes, and the Grudge will use various methods to protect itself at this time, but now that I am gone, its methods should be more formulaic." Kayako smiled. Without herself, the Grudge became an established procedure and would only kill people in those ways. As long as you don't go to the house of the Grudge and be contaminated by the curse, the power of the Grudge will slowly dissipate over the years, but the speed is very slow.
What's more, there are always some idiots in that world who like to commit suicide, and Kayako is well aware of this.
After learning about the follow-up of The Grudge from Kayako, Teng Shu was satisfied. He chatted with Kayako and Toshio, then left the company and returned to the president's office of Devon Company, where he had some other things to deal with.
"President, the issue of affordable hospitals has been preliminarily resolved. The medical cabin you provided is indeed very useful." Kuroda hurried in when he arrived at the office.
When Kuroda came in, Teng Shu was altering Xiao Q's clothes. Xiao Q had eaten a lot of ghost energy, so his body became bigger, and his previous clothes looked like tights. Although Xiao Q was a ghost Pokémon, the ghost energy was very strong, which caused Xiao Q to become like this. Xiao Q happened to like his original clothes very much, so Teng Shu had no choice but to alter Xiao Q's clothes.
"Well, what do other pharmaceutical companies say now?" Teng Shu knew about this. The emergence of the medical cabin allowed Dewen Company to gain a firm foothold. Even if other companies did not give it, what would it matter? The medical cabin was enough to solve this problem.
In fact, the medicines for most basic diseases are not secret formulas, they can all be found out and made by oneself, and for those that are protected by patents, Teng Shu’s medical cabin can also be developed from other angles. So Teng Shu is in a good mood. He also wants to see what those pharmaceutical companies that previously planned to suppress his hospital think.
"Some have started to contact us and try to negotiate terms, but most are still waiting and watching." There was a hint of smile in Kuroda's tone. Teng Shu nodded. These pharmaceutical companies are like this, they are shabby and will not repent unless they are beaten.
"If you have your own patented drugs and the hospital needs them, you can negotiate. Others can talk if they want, but forget it." Teng Shu curled his lips. These guys were really annoying, but he couldn't avoid contact with them. The speed of researching new drugs in the medical cabin was relatively slow.
If you can have a patent, then it will naturally be more convenient.
Although such an idea was somewhat infuriating, Kuroda did not say anything. After all, Dewen Company did not make money from medicine, even though medicine was a notoriously lucrative industry.
So the boss can do whatever he wants.
Kuroda recorded this incident, while Teng Shu looked at his phone.
Before we knew it, it is November again, and we have come to a special time node, November 9th.
Double Eleven is coming soon.
There was a hint of smile on Teng Shu's lips. This was a good opportunity to promote the shopping festival. While expanding the market, it could also gain a lot of praise from people. Of course, how to run this shopping festival was also something that needed to be considered.
Teng Shu stroked Xiao Q's head and pondered this question in his mind. If this thing was done well, it would be very useful for expanding the popularity. However, how to construct this shopping festival also required careful consideration. After all, there were many pitfalls in this thing, and Teng Shu did not need to create so many pitfalls.
Chapter 426 Cursed Paradise and the Almost Forgotten Movie
At the beginning of the shopping festival, the discounts were very large and very simple and crude, which directly let consumers know where they were getting a good deal. However, as subsequent shopping festivals progressed, these discounts became messy and all kinds of coupons had to be calculated, so it was still very troublesome.
However, Teng Shu does not have any concerns in this regard. He just wants to promote the shopping festival so as to bring greater convenience and popularity to his software. This is what Teng Shu is doing now.
After Teng Shu briefly explained the situation to the people from Dewen Company, the people from Dewen Company quickly came up with corresponding methods and solutions. Teng Shu took a look and was quite satisfied. Now is the time to expand the market and it is the worst time to save money.
As long as the market can be expanded, it will be a very profitable thing for Teng Shu.
In order to promote this business, Teng Shu also spent more than two weeks in the company to handle matters related to the shopping festival, and related publicity and promotion began on a large scale. Various preferential policies instantly attracted many consumers.
Although Taozi.com and other shopping websites also quickly launched corresponding methods, after all, Tengshu had started preparing in advance. Taozi.com could not react in time and could not start on this day. They could only swallow the bitter fruit with hatred. However, Save Money Bao can be regarded as further expanding its market share.
After completing the shopping festival for Save Money, Teng Shu returned to Ghost Pictures and began preparing for the filming of "The Grudge 3".
"Boss, are we really going to finish The Grudge 3?" Zoroark said in surprise as he looked at Teng Shu's script. After all, in Zoroark's opinion, there are still many plots to be explored in the Grudge series, and the audience's love for the Grudge series is still very high. On a movie rating website of the Pokémon League, The Grudge directly won the title of the scariest horror film, which can be said to be very eye-catching.
"Well, Kayako's story should also come to an end." Teng Shu pinched his brows. There is no feast that will last forever in this world, just like Pokémon. Who knows if it will suddenly end one day in the future and there will be no new era? Although the probability is very low.
After all, capital is profit-seeking. As long as there is enough money to be made, these capitals will not care what the creators and fans of the work think. It is very normal to take out the money and reuse it repeatedly.
"That's true." Zoroark touched the script in his hand lovingly. This script seemed really good and scary to Zoroark, continuing the style of Kayako. But thinking of this, Zoroark also discovered that Kayako in The Grudge seemed to have found her own destination after experiencing parts one and two, which was reincarnation.
"Hey, boss, do you mean Kayako's ultimate goal is to reincarnate?" Zoroark was a little curious. After hearing this, Teng Shu took another look at Zoroark. He really didn't expect that Zoroark could actually see this. After all, Zoroark had no great interest in basic things before. Zoroark liked watching movies more.
"Yeah, reincarnation. After all, being a ghost is not so good sometimes." Teng Shu smiled, and then thought of the Ghost Wizards he had watched before. Although that movie was a metaphor and satire, it was still quite entertaining. Being a human is so difficult, why is being a ghost even more difficult?
Teng Shu looked at Kayako who was standing beside him. The other party could only follow him now, and Junxiong had already gone to school. However, looking at Kayako's appearance, she was probably very happy.
Zoroark touched the script with some regret, and then thought of something.
"Hey, boss, should we publicize that this is the last part of Ju-Grudge?" Zoroark thought of something. Teng Shu had a strange expression after hearing it, but thinking that generally the final chapters of some series would be announced in advance to attract fans, Teng Shu agreed. Although the filming of Ju-Grudge 3 has not started yet and they are still looking for actors, after all, the more important female role of the Demon Queen this time still needs a good actress.
And as Zoroark asked Ghost Pictures' publicity department to take action, everyone who followed horror movies on the Internet immediately knew that The Grudge 3 would be the last film of The Grudge.
"The last work? What a pity, why isn't it Teng Shu's last one." In a film company, the boss was looking at the messages on his phone and sighed with regret. He really didn't like Teng Shu as a director. He was very annoyed that all the cake in the horror film market was about to be eaten up by Teng Shu.
"Yes, boss. If The Grudge was produced by our company, we would definitely have to shoot seventy, eighty, ninety or ten episodes~" a female secretary said to her boss with a smile. The boss touched his bald head, then looked at the information in his hand and frowned slightly.
He doesn't really care whether it is the last part or the second part of The Grudge; he is concerned about another issue.
"How are the previous screenwriters and directors doing?" The pot-bellied boss asked his female secretary. After hearing this, the female secretary cleverly revealed a hint of indignation on her face.
"Boss, those two people are so ignorant. People we visited couldn't even get in. And they told you, the director is very arrogant and doesn't want to answer the phone. Who does he think he is?" The female secretary kept talking, and then she found that her boss's face was getting darker and darker, and finally he slapped the table. But the female secretary could see that if the boss hadn't held back, the slap would probably have been her face.
The female secretary didn't dare to speak and kept her mouth shut carefully.
