Pokémon's Lord of Fear

"This letter" the old father also saw it. His eyes were dazed for a moment, and then became ugly. Teng Shu knew that the old father should have thought of the origin of this letter. After all, the old father had captured Rayquaza and might have offended the Meteor People at that time.

The old father and Daigo left in a hurry. They were going to deal with this matter. Teng Shu was not very anxious. It was just a threatening letter. Although Shijiana's strength was not bad, it was definitely not enough to compare with Daigo.

Moreover, Teng Shu also has his own trump card. He used the Fear Cube to attract two fighting forces, one is the overlord Gengar, and the other is Giratina, the resident of the world of destruction.

By then, even if Xijiana comes to cause trouble, Teng Shu can handle it by himself, so he is not very worried. You know, Xiao Q is a Pokémon with ghost and fairy attributes. The noble fairy attributes can beat dragon Pokémon to tears, and there is also a rich man.

However, the appearance of the threatening letter also means that this world may be entering a new plot. At least the disaster of the meteor is foreseeable, but I don't know whether the other two ancient beasts, Groudon and Kyogre, will come out to cause trouble.

"Is this considered the main quest?" A strange thought flashed through Teng Shu's mind.

By the next day, life was still very peaceful. The old father went to work as usual, and the elder brother left home and returned to the league to handle the affairs of the league. Teng Shu heard from Daigo that the champion of the neighboring region, Shirona, would come to visit Hoenn today, so he needed to come forward to entertain her.

It was as if yesterday's threatening letter had never happened.

"Boss, good morning. Your schedule today is to do editing work in the company, and then donate to the Stray Pokémon Charity Organization in the afternoon." As soon as he walked out of the house, Zoroark came over quickly, holding a schedule in his hand, and talked to Teng Shu as he walked.

"Well, have you calculated how much can be donated this time?" Teng Shu stretched, then stretched out his hand and poked the face of Xiao Q in his arms, and asked at the same time.

Teng Shu had promised that for every movie ticket sold for the movie "Dead Silence", he would donate one dollar to the Stray Pokémon Charity Organization.

"According to your original promise, we need to donate 45.45 million." Zoroark read out a long string of numbers.

"Just donate 45.5 million directly." Teng Shu pinched his brows and interrupted Zoroark. Although he did say to donate one dollar for every movie ticket, a few tens of thousands more would not be a big problem.

It would be better to just round it up to an even number, which would also allow the company to have a good reputation. It is hard to say what good things will happen in the future because of this matter.

"Okay." Zoroark also wrote this down. Now the company has received its share of the income. Although the share ratio is a little higher because of the support of Dewen Company, other miscellaneous expenses still need to be deducted. In the end, out of the total box office revenue of 1.5 billion, Teng Shu can only get a little over 600 million.

The theaters took away 50% of the box office revenue, but fortunately the filming cost of "Dead Silence" was very low, so the profit earned was very high. This is also the fundamental reason why horror movies are enduring, that is, the production cost is low, it is easy to recoup the investment, and if you are lucky and the box office is booming, then you can make a lot of money.

You should know that the production cost of Dead Silence is only 12 million, and with the publicity and promotion it won't be too high, but it made Teng Shu so much money. Even if he took out 500 million out of the 600 million to invest in the Pokémon Environmental Maintenance and Improvement Department, Teng Shu would not lose money. When If You Call Me is released, another sum of film remuneration will be paid to him.

When he arrived at Ghost Pictures, Teng Shu found that all the employees in the company were already there, but the busiest department was the company's customer service department, who were constantly answering the phone.

Other departments are relatively idle, after all, they have no filming tasks now.

"People from the post-production department, come here." Teng Shu clapped his hands, and instantly the boss's greetings of good morning were heard in the company. Then the head of the post-production department hurried over to Teng Shu.

Teng Shu also talked about today's editing work with the head of the post-production department. Although he was mainly in charge of the editing of "Call of the Ghost", his workload would be reduced if these employees were involved. Otherwise, it would take a lot of time just to edit a complete movie.

But even so, Teng Shu still has a lot of work to do. He needs to make sure that the ghost call meets his expectations, so Teng Shu himself knows that he will probably have to stay in the company every day in the next few days.

"I hope that this time I can bring a brand new horror experience to the people of this world." Teng Shu rubbed his hands excitedly. In his opinion, the fright level of a ghost call is higher than that of dead silence. Combined with the special element of a mobile phone, the fright level can be said to be maximized.

After all, in today's world, almost everyone has a mobile phone, and ghost calls have become closely related to everyone. Who knows if you will receive a call from the future?

Chapter 89 Donations and Reproduction of Beedrills

"Let's play a trailer." Teng Shu lay in his chair and pinched his eyebrows.

He worked for the entire morning without a minute's break. He was editing the film the whole time, which made Teng Shu dizzy and confused, but at least he could now cut out a trailer.

The trailer of a movie is still very important, especially for comedy movies. Some comedy movies will deliberately hide some wonderful clips, while for some comedy movies, the jokes in the trailer are all the jokes.

So although trailers are important, we cannot trust them completely.

"Boss, what clips should be edited into this trailer?" the head of the post-production department asked hesitantly.

Teng Shu touched his chin.

"In this way, none of the horror scenes will be edited, and the film will be deliberately made into the style of a suspenseful detective film." Teng Shu's face was filled with a sunny smile, and he was ready to start the trailer fraud.

In the world of Pokémon, detective thrillers are considered a niche film with a fixed fan base. However, the popularity of detective thrillers has increased in recent years, and Teng Shu decided to commit a trailer fraud.

Through editing and soundtrack, a horror film is edited to have the effect of a suspense film. The audience will definitely suspect that it is a suspense film, but only discover in the end that it is a horror film. However, we cannot say that there is something wrong with the trailer, after all, the content in the trailer is all in the movie.

The effect of doing this is to make the audience's psychological expectations different from the actual movie they watch, thus bringing a greater sense of fear. At the same time, it can also attract some suspense film fans to enter and increase the box office revenue of the film.

“Oh.” The person in charge hesitated. Is this really okay?

"Let's do it, and this movie does have suspense elements." Teng Shu was very calm. The horror movie "Call" followed the traditional horror movie routine, that is, the protagonist is deeply involved in it, doesn't believe it at first, then believes it, and finally tries to solve the mystery.

So is there a detective mystery element? Of course there is.

There's even a twist at the end.

"Okay." The person in charge nodded. Since the boss asked for it, they would just do it.

"I ordered lunch boxes. After lunch, everyone can take a break and then continue working." Teng Shu shouted to the employees. The editing work was not that fast and he was not in a hurry. He could release the trailer to lure the audience first and then send it for review without wasting much time.

Teng Shu also ordered a box lunch for Zoroark. This time he ordered very homely dishes. As for Xiao Q and Fugui, Teng Shu still fed them fear cubes. After eating these, they would not want to eat for a while. Teng Shu thought it might be because the ghost energy was too abundant.

"Boss, do we need to arrange media interviews for this afternoon's donations?" Zoroak asked Teng Shu while eating. Teng Shu was also eating and he also ordered a box lunch.

"No need. Let's arrange a photo shoot and then have the company's copywriter write an article and post it on the company's official website along with the photos." Teng Shu shook his head. Although there was no need for an interview, they still had to post what they had done. Otherwise, some people might question why Teng Shu had not yet done what he had promised.

So what needs to be done still needs to be done, but there is no need to do it in a big way. People will get disgusted if you publicize it too much, so it is better to write an article and post it on the company's official website.

"Okay." Zoroark also recorded this incident, and after lunch, Teng Shu took a nap, then brought Zoroark and some company cameras to the Stray Pokémon Care Organization. In the surprised eyes of the person in charge, he donated 45.55 million in charity and asked for an invoice.

When companies do charitable things and report them to the alliance, they can be provided with partial tax exemptions when settling taxes, so there are many companies willing to do charitable things these days.

After donating the money and getting the invoice, the follow-up matters of Dead Silence were almost dealt with. The only thing left was to rebuild the puppet theater in the Orange Forest and turn it into the hospital in The Call, complete the movie theme adaptation, and then shoot some outdoor scenes.

Then it can be edited into the movie to bring some popularity to this theme hospital.

"What is the daily turnover of the Puppet Theater now?" Teng Shu asked while sitting in the car, looking at Zoroark in front of him. Zoroark reported a string of numbers without even thinking. Teng Shu nodded after hearing it. The turnover has dropped a lot, but it is normal. This kind of themed haunted house originally followed the popularity of the IP. Without the popularity, naturally not many people will come.

It seems that reconstruction is inevitable.

When they arrived at the outskirts of the Orange Forest, Zoroark stopped the car, and Teng Shu took Zoroark in.

As soon as he walked in, Gengar came out and rushed to Teng Shu excitedly. Seeing Gengar's anxious look, Teng Shu silently rolled up his sleeves. Zoroark stood in the middle as a referee with an expressionless face.

"rock-paper-scissors!"

Gengar huddled in the corner in grievance. Teng Shu looked at his fist, then at Gengar. Why did this guy like to use scissors so much? It had been so many times. He had to use scissors.

Teng Shu silently took out a notebook and made a note.

"Mr. Gengar, it's okay. It's just a loss. Just win it back next time." Teng Shu looked at Gengar, who was squatting in the corner and drawing circles on the ground with his fingers. He patted his back comfortingly, and then received an even more resentful look from Gengar.

"You said the same thing last time." Gengar's words choked Teng Shu.

Gengar looked at Teng Shu with resentment. It didn't want to play anymore. This game had cheats and it had lost so many times. It even suspected that Teng Shu had some kind of mind-reading cheat. Otherwise, how could he win so many times?

"Hehe, you will definitely win next time. I believe in you." Teng Shu patted Gengar on the back and said sincerely.

Gengar curled his lips. He didn't believe what Teng Shu said.

"It's the breeding season for the giant hornets in the Orange Forest these days, so you'd better be careful." Gengar reminded Teng Shu, who nodded after hearing it.

During the breeding season, Beedrill becomes very irritable and often attacks passing trainers. It will also attack other Pokémon, making it very dangerous.

"Forget it, I'll follow you." Gengar shrank into the shadow of Teng Shu. Teng Shu was also his friend. What's more, if these Beedrills attacked Teng Shu, they would be the ones in danger.

Chapter 90: Different Colored Pokémon

"Mr. Gengar, are there any strange people in the Orange Forest recently?" Teng Shu asked the little Gengar on his shoulder as he walked. The other party has now become the size of a figure. This ability to change size at will is quite convenient.

"A lot." Geng Gui grabbed Teng Shu's collar and swung his short legs. Little Q in Teng Shu's arms yawned and shrank into Teng Shu's arms.

It is very familiar with Gengar, so it doesn't mind Gengar sitting on Tengshu. If it were another Pokémon, Xiao Q would have lost his temper a long time ago.

Fugui followed Teng Shu and looked at the Orange Forest in front of him with great interest. Everything here was so interesting to Fugui.

In the past, it had always stayed in the treasure chest and had never seen so many interesting scenery.

"A lot?" Teng Shu was a little surprised. Could it be that the guys from the Water Fleet and the Magma Team have become so rampant? You know, the Orange Forest is Gengar's territory. Gengar is a dominant Pokémon. If Gengar notices it, even a leader like Shui Wutong can't resist Gengar's anger.

"Yeah, sometimes I really think you humans are weird. I saw a guy who came to catch a caterpillar before, and after catching the caterpillar, he actually liked to put it on his body." Gengar said lightly, Teng Shu was stunned for a moment, and Zoroark on the side looked at Gengar dully.

"What?" Teng Shu looked at Gengar in surprise, then his eyes fell on the caterpillar on a tree nearby.

Caterpillar is a very common insect-type Pokémon, and it is not a rare existence in the Pokémon world. There are even many ordinary family trainers who choose this Pokémon as their starting Pokémon. However, the most popular one is naturally Beetlejuice. After all, Beetlejuice's combat power is slightly higher than that of Caterpillar.

But this thing can also be used.

Teng Shu's expression became distorted.

"It's nothing actually. I've seen people catching Magikarp and using it as bait before." Gengar continued to say very scary words, which made Teng Shu's scalp tingle. No wonder the Pokémon League came up with these Pokémon protection policies. There are really too many perverts these days.

"Let's discuss something else." Teng Shu couldn't hold it in any longer. If he continued talking like this, the way Teng Shu looked at others would become strange. He didn't expect that there would be such a pervert in the world of Pokémon. It really made people sigh at the impermanence of life.

All I can say is that the forest is big and there are indeed all kinds of birds.

Along the way, with Gengar around, they were very safe. After seeing Gengar, those irritable Beedrills ran away very fast one by one. The speed was so fast that even Teng Shu was amazed. It can only be said that wild Pokémon have enough respect for powerful Pokémon.

However, as he walked, a different kind of unicorn beetle appeared in Teng Shu's sight.

A golden unicorn beetle was lying on the tree trunk. Teng Shu took a look and found that it was indeed a unicorn beetle. Moreover, the color of this unicorn beetle was different from the other unicorn beetles.

"I can actually encounter a shiny Pokémon." Teng Shu was a little surprised. The probability of encountering a shiny Pokémon, that is, a different-colored Pokémon, in the wild is not very high. Even though the real Pokémon world is full of obvious mines and there are basically no hidden mines, it is still not easy to encounter a different-colored Pokémon.

Teng Shu glanced at the golden unicorn beetle. He had no intention of capturing it. This kind of heterochromatic Pokémon was sold at a high price in the black market. Teng Shu even heard that some wealthy families would specialize in cultivating and collecting heterochromatic Pokémon.

Although Beedrill is a relatively weak Pokémon, its final evolution, Beedrill, is very popular, especially in the Kanto region. For some reason, Sakaki, who has not been exposed yet, is known as Sakaki of the Earth. He once showed off his Beedrill, which led to a large number of Beedrills in the Kanto region.

Teng Shu didn't care too much about it. Although he didn't plan to tame the unicorn beetle, there was no telling if there would be any lucky person who could catch this colorful unicorn beetle in the future.

When he arrived at the Puppet Theater, Teng Shu found that the number of customers here was indeed much less. The employee at the ticket office was yawning out of boredom and looked very sleepy, but when he saw Teng Shu, he immediately stood up and greeted him.

"How many guests are coming today?" Teng Shu looked at the other party and asked, and then got an embarrassing number of fifty people.

Are fifty people too few? Actually, it is not too few, but compared with the number of tourists before, it is still a little less.

Teng Shu's only dilemma now is whether to demolish the puppet theater and turn it into a hospital where ghosts call him? Or just build a new one next to it? Who knows if it can be turned into a horror theme park and let the audience come to play.

"What about the Dream Demons?" Teng Shu decided to ask the Dream Demons for their opinions. After all, they were also residents and employees there, and it was hard to say what other opinions they might have on the matter.

"Boss, Dream Demons are still open for business inside. A couple just went in." The ticket seller said respectfully. Teng Shu nodded, then walked straight in and came to the backstage through the employee passage.

The ghost Pokémon around greeted Teng Shu enthusiastically. They all knew that they were working under Teng Shu, and that Teng Shu paid their salaries on time. Although these little guys didn't have much to buy, they still worked hard to save money.

"I can't believe you're so popular with these little guys." Gengar looked at the noisy little guys next to him with interest. He saw quite a few Gastly and Haunter among them.

Then occasionally one or two Gengars could be seen, but none of these Gengars were bigger than it, which made the Overlord Gengar puff out his chest with pride.

"In fact, as long as you are genuinely nice to wild Pokémon, they will naturally be nice to you, with the exception of a few rare Pokémon." Teng Shu shrugged. Most wild Pokémon are very friendly after getting along with them for a long time, but there are some Pokémon that are the type that cannot be treated in a friendly way.

The Pokémon League has listed some very dangerous wild Pokémon, asking trainers to stay away from them as quickly as possible when they encounter them in the wild. If they can't stay away, they can only find a way to defeat those guys. If they can't defeat them, then they can only seek help from nearby trainers or Junsha.

"Yes, I think so too. Except for those brainless Alakazams, this rule applies to basically all Pokémon." Gengar said seriously.
