Pokémon's Lord of Fear

"Two hundred million." Teng Shu smacked his lips. Isn't this nonsense? How is he going to spend two hundred million?

How much money can a horror movie like "Call Me If You Can" cost? You should know that most horror movies are made with low budgets, and the rare big productions are usually movies about zombie apocalypse. However, for the movie "Call Me If You Can", Teng Shu himself estimated that the final cost might not even be 10 million.

Even if we max out the amount, the total would be around 30 million.

Two hundred million is really something you can never spend.

And are these people too confident in themselves? The total investment amount of 200 million is really not low at all.

It seems that I will have to return these excessive funds according to the proportion later, otherwise it will be troublesome to argue about it later.

Chapter 62: Filming and Angry Little Q

In the end, Teng Shu returned the full amount of 170 million, leaving only 30 million.

However, even if it was 30 million, Teng Shu felt that it would probably not be enough.

"How much is the most expensive actor in the league paid?" Sitting in a temporarily rented office, Teng Shu thought of an interesting question, and then he opened his phone to check.

Soon the search results popped up.

The first place is the old acquaintance Kaluni, whose highest pay reached 10 million Alliance coins.

2nd place.

"Huh?" Teng Shu rubbed his eyes. He really didn't expect that the second place would be Dan Emperor?

And as soon as you look at the photo, you can tell that it is the champion of the Galar region, Dandi.

A champion whose life experience seems to be cheating. He has been winning since the battle in Galar. The highest salary of Dantei is 9 million, which is only 1 million less than Kaluni.

"The prices for these league champions don't seem to be very high." Teng Shu scratched his head. The pay for actors in this world didn't seem to be particularly outrageous. It was very rare for actors with no acting skills to get tens of millions or even hundreds of millions just by relying on their looks as in his previous life.

This is also the reason why Teng Shu felt that the investment amount of 200 million was too high.

He knew that Kaluni was acting, but he really didn't know about Dandi.

"Actually, it's not surprising if you think about it carefully. After all, Dan Di is a man with advertising space on his cloak." When he thought of Dan Di's style, Teng Shu felt that it didn't seem strange for Dan Di to come out to make a movie. After all, he was saving money to improve the combat level in the Galar region, and it seemed that he had built a combat tower later.

Among all the champions, he can be considered as one of the most dedicated and hardworking ones.

As long as the price is right, Dan Di probably wouldn't mind making a movie.

But Teng Shu never considered these two champion actors from the bottom of his heart.

The reason is also very simple.

Seeing Kaluni and Dandi, the audience is easily distracted, as if these two are going to bring out their championship lineup in the next second.

Why would we still want to make horror movies? We can just make action movies.

Or just change the name to "Ghost Call: The Years When Ghost Was Hunted by Two Champions"

So Teng Shu skipped these two top actors.

"Let's send out the audition invitation first." Teng Shu pinched his brows and said something to Zoroark, who immediately went out to arrange this matter.

After Zoroark left, Teng Shu began to think about the choice of the male and female protagonists this time.

In fact, there is nothing special to worry about. First of all, the requirements for a serious female lead are not high. It is enough if she has good acting skills and is good-looking. The key is that it is best if she looks weak, so that there will be a sense of tension when she is haunted by ghosts.

The male protagonist who helps the female protagonist can just be a little tougher and have decent acting skills.

The only troublesome thing is the evil spirit in the ghost call, Mimiko Mizunuma.

According to the setting, Mimiko Mizunuma suffers from asthma and started doing bad things when she was a child, such as bullying her sister and pretending to be innocent.

As a result, after she bullied her younger sister one time, her mother took her sister away, and she had an asthma attack and died at home, becoming a vengeful spirit.

So in order to make the plot complete, Teng Shu needs to hire a child actor.

As for the location selection, it was simple. Most of the plots of "A Ghost Call" are normal urban scenery, so we just need to find a railway, and then rebuild the mansion in the Orange Forest from a puppet theater into a deserted hospital. After that, the other segments are similar.

"I've suddenly become busy." Teng Shu stretched lazily, then turned his head to look.

This temporary office was vacated for Teng Shu by the cooperating film company. It seemed to be a prop room at first, so there were a lot of strange things in it. Teng Shu even saw some swords and realistically made guns.

"These things can be sold as figures, but I remember that some props from movies were also sold as peripherals in the past, and the prices were very expensive." Teng Shu was playing with a well-made skull that could be opened. He had just found it in a big box.

Teng Shu opened it and took a look. There were some strange symbols engraved inside. It seemed that this thing should have been used as a movie prop, and it looked like a mysterious movie.

"Boss, the audition invitation has been sent out." Zoroark walked in. Teng Shu nodded and put the skull in his hand back.

When putting it in, the skull accidentally touched the things underneath. Before Teng Shu could react, a pile of debris flew up a little and fell to the ground again.

Little Q, who was suffering from jet lag in the Poké Ball on Teng Shu's waist, suddenly jumped out of the Poké Ball and stared at the box below with a fierce look.

Then Teng Shu saw a lavender Pokémon jump out from inside, making a strange sound.

A ball of deep purple energy fluctuations also quietly emerged, and the ghost-type Pokémon move Fright was used on Teng Shu.

"Scare!" Little Q let out an angry cry, and the next second Little Q's figure suddenly enlarged, and ghost energy poured out towards the Pokémon below like a tide. The next second, the Pokémon let out a scream, and fell to the ground weakly, unable to move.

The props nearby were directly knocked away by the surging ghost energy, smashed heavily against the wall, and the skulls were shattered all over the ground.

Zoroark looked at Xiao Q with some surprise.

But Little Q did not hold back, and its angry shadow went straight over. Teng Shu quickly picked up Little Q and stopped him from continuing to chase. Using the Night Shadow was almost enough, and with the sneak attack from the Spirit, this little guy would probably be killed on the spot.

"Little Q, don't get excited, I'm fine." Teng Shu touched Little Q comfortingly. Little Q's body was trembling. This was also a small problem of Little Q. It would choose to beat the enemy half to death first because it was too timid in battle.

Even though Teng Shu had raised Xiao Q for several years, he still had this problem: he would tend to use heavy hands when he was angry or excited.

Little Q anxiously crawled around on Teng Shu's body, and only after making sure that Teng Shu was okay did he lie down in Teng Shu's arms safely.

And Teng Shu looked at the Pokémon below with some headache.

He couldn't see it clearly before, but now looking at its appearance, Teng Shu knew what kind of Pokémon it was.

"Money-seeking Spirit" Teng Shu scratched his head. He didn't expect that there was a money-seeking spirit hiding in a treasure chest among the pile of miscellaneous items in this prop room.

Thanks to the book friend Bai Ye Ghost for the 500 Qidian coins

Chapter 63: The Rich

Lobotomy is a very special Pokémon. Teng Shu knows some small details about Lobotomy and even knows how to evolve this Pokémon.

Although the money-seeking spirit is a little weak at the beginning and its racial value is not high, all this will change after it collects enough coins and meets the evolution conditions.

However, Teng Shu didn’t have time to think about how to collect the coins of the Spirit of Wealth. He was now hurriedly walking outside with the treasure chest.

Xiao Q's angry attack almost killed Suo Cailing. Fortunately, Teng Shu stopped Xiao Q's pursuit, otherwise Suo Cailing might be dead now.

But even so, Teng Shu now has to send Socailing to the Pokémon Center for treatment.

On a summer afternoon, the scorching sun shone on Teng Shu. Zoroark followed behind Teng Shu. It looked at Teng Shu's anxious look with a smile in its eyes.

Soon, Teng Shu brought the Money-Snatcher to the Pokémon Center and handed it over to Miss Joy there.

It's strange to say, although they are so far apart, Miss Joy here and Miss Joy in the Hoenn region look almost the same, with only some minor differences. I have to say that the families of Miss Joy and Miss Junsha are really magical families.

"This money-seeking spirit is fine, it's just badly injured and needs to recuperate for a while. What's your relationship with this money-seeking spirit?" Miss Joy asked while standing in front of Teng Shu. They had already started treating the money-seeking spirit, and she came out to make routine inquiries and asked Teng Shu to pay the medical expenses.

"I was the one who was attacked. This little guy was injured by my Pokémon." Teng Shu took the bill and took a look. The price was not high.

"Ah? Then you are really a good person." Miss Joy was stunned for a moment, then smiled more gently.

Teng Shu also accepted the good guy card with a helpless look.

Sitting on a chair in the Pokémon Center, Teng Shu hugged Little Q and rubbed its head. Zoroark was sent by him to pay the fee, and he planned to check on Zoroark's situation before leaving.

"I didn't expect that the first day in the Padia area would be so exciting, but is it the money-making spirit?" Teng Shu seemed to be thinking about it.

Thor is not very strong, but its evolved form, Thor, is very strong. Its ghost and steel attributes give it very good resistance. Although it also has four weak attributes, its series of excellent resistances are enough to offset these disadvantages. All in all, it is also a very good Pokémon choice.

However, in the real Pokémon world, Sacrosandra rarely appears on the battlefield. The reason for this is that in order for Sacrosandra to evolve into Sacrosandra, 999 Sacrosandra coins are required.

This is a very troublesome and expensive task, which is why most trainers would not choose to train the difficult-to-train Saifuga as their own Pokémon.

After all, the price of the Breeding Competition Rich Man is enough for an average trainer to breed two good Pokémon.

But Teng Shu is not short of money.

"And my brother should like Steel attribute more. He is very good at cultivating Steel attribute Pokémon." Teng Shu rubbed his cheek and thought of his brother Daigo.

The steel-attribute Pokémon that Daigo cultivates are very strong, and Teng Shu can also gain some experience in cultivating Pokémon from his brother, although he does not need this experience.

After all, Teng Shu had no intention of developing into a superstar or a champion.

He just thought that Saifuhao's golden appearance was very cute, and it was said that Saifuhao's personality was also very good. Even in the face of the possible crisis of the Hoenn Three Gods in the future, Teng Shu did need to expand his Pokémon.

"Let's wait until the little guy recovers from his injuries." Teng Shu shook his head. Now Suo Cailing is still lying in the ward. After he recovers, he will ask this little guy if he is willing to follow him.

Teng Shu fed Xiao Q a piece of fear candy, and then put Xiao Q back into the Poké Ball. He planned to see how much fear value Dead Silence had accumulated.

[The current fear value that can be obtained in "Dead Silence" is: 88999]

[Can I redeem the item? ]

Teng Shu seemed to be thinking about something. As the popularity of Dead Silence died down, the income from the movie's fear value also became less. It has not yet exceeded 90,000, but it has also activated the next redeemable reward.

"Exchange." Teng Shu chose to exchange directly. Anyway, it would be better to claim these rewards in advance than to keep them.

[You have obtained the Echo of Thought (Basic)]

【Resonance (Basic): After watching your work, the audience will be more likely to remember your work】

Teng Shu raised his eyebrows. Another ability related to movies. This ability meant that the audience would remember the movie "Dead Silence" after watching it? This was a good thing, but it was also a double-edged sword. After all, if Teng Shu made a bad movie, then he would become a black material that the audience would always use to criticize him.

However, Teng Shu doesn't think he will make a bad movie.

After all, what he is shooting now are those famous and excellent works from his previous life that have been tested by the market.

"Boss, the medical bills have been paid, and I've also saved a portion of it." Zoroark ran over, saying breathlessly.

"Okay, Zoroark, send a message to the company and ask them to release the normal version after turning off the lights on the Internet, and then hype up the popularity of Dead Silence." Teng Shu felt a little itchy. This time, the fear value was fixed at 88999. This number made Teng Shu's obsessive-compulsive disorder act up.

Or he could just freeze it at 90000, but Teng Shu also wanted to try what new rewards he could get if he broke through to .

"Okay." Zoroark immediately took out his cell phone and started dealing with what Teng Shu had asked him to do.

Teng Shu was very satisfied with Zoroark's business ability. Zoroark was indeed a very qualified secretary, and his abilities were very comprehensive, which meant that Zoroark could handle almost anything.

Now Teng Shu is worried that Zoroark may not like this job and may want to resign, which means he will have to hire another secretary.
