Pokémon's Lord of Fear

Teng Shu was a little surprised. This collection of ticket stubs should be the cinema's own idea. However, according to the contract, these extra incomes will also be distributed to Ghost Pictures in proportion.

Teng Shu took out a pen and signed his name on it, and Nimo happily put it away.

"My sister is also a fan of yours, Director Teng Shu!" Nimo smiled happily, and Teng Shu nodded. No wonder there were two ticket stubs.

"Mr. Teng Shu, your work is a phenomenal movie in the Padilla region." Ming Huang also added with a smile. Teng Shu felt a little embarrassed after hearing it, but there was also a hint of joy in his heart. It is a happy thing to be liked by others.

Ming Huang was about to leave after signing the contract. Teng Shu warmly invited Ming Huang and Nimo to have lunch together, and then sent them to the airport.

Nemo didn't want to leave at first, but until he received a call saying that a new championship challenger had appeared in Padia, Nemo chose to return to Padia.

Teng Shu is not surprised. Nemo's personality is similar to that of a battle maniac. When playing the game, you can often encounter Nemo and have a battle with her. Moreover, Nemo is very concerned about the protagonist. After the protagonist defeats Nemo, Nemo even wants to become a strong rival of the protagonist.

It can only be said that the setting of a strong enemy runs through almost every Pokémon work.

"You kid, you almost got beaten just now, right?" After sending Nemo and Ming Huang away, Teng Shu looked at Zoroark beside him with a displeased look.

"I didn't expect Miss Nemo to be so excited." Zoroark rubbed his nose with a helpless look. Teng Shu glanced at Zoroark and found that Zoroark seemed very confident. He was afraid that if he hadn't called for a stop at that time, Zoroark would have his own way to deal with Nemo's Greninja?

This made Teng Shu curious about Zoroark's strength. This guy Zoroark had never taken any action since he had been asked to be a secretary. Teng Shu really didn't know how strong Zoroark was.

However, considering Zoroark's magical phantom ability, Teng Shu felt that the strength of his own Zoroark would probably not be low.

"When the new cell phones are available, ask the company employees how many want them, and purchase one for each person as a gift. It will be considered a company benefit." Teng Shu did not continue to think about Zoroark's ability. Anyway, he found Zoroark a good secretary, so he did not plan to replace his secretary for the time being unless there were any major problems.

"Okay, is it the Ultimate Edition, the Standard Edition, or the Youth Edition?" Zoroark wrote this down and asked at the same time.

"Of course it's the regular version." Teng Shu didn't even think about it. The price of the flagship version was twice as high as the regular version. For something like company welfare, giving away a regular version would be enough. The first-day box office of "Something Happens to Me" was pretty good, but Teng Shu needed money a lot during this period, so naturally he would save as much as he could.

Zoroark recorded it honestly. Even if it was a regular version of the phone, he didn't need it, but he could sell it to make money, and then he could continue to spend money.

After resolving the linkage issue, Teng Shu returned to the company and asked the company's publicity and promotion department to release a trailer on the official website first. Rotom Mobile will also do this, as it can be regarded as a way to start hyping up the popularity in advance. Teng Shu is very supportive of this. After all, the linkage can also bring some new traffic to the movie.

By then, there will definitely be some viewers who don’t watch movies who will be curious about why mobile phones are linked to movies. If they are interested in watching the movie, then it will also increase the movie box office, right?

Teng Shu has an idea, which is to promote the practice of playing movies for Pokémon in the wild to the entire league. Then he can gain a huge amount of fear value. Although the investment will be higher, the gain will not be small.

Although the only use of fear points now is to exchange for fear sugar cubes, the fear sugar cubes alone are enough for Teng Shu to spend money on.

If the fear sugar cube can be made into steel sugar cube and sold to my brother, at 100 million for one sugar cube, my brother will definitely buy it without hesitation. This is a magical item that increases the racial value and is not available anywhere else. Teng Shu can be considered a monopoly businessman.

But if we follow the old routine of Hoenn and spend money, then each region will have to invest at least 500 million. Currently, the alliance has a total of eight regions. Teng Shu heard that the alliance is actively exploring the development of the ninth region, but there is no news about the ninth region yet.

Excluding Hoenn, Teng Shu still needs to attack seven more regions, which would cost 3.5 billion.

This is not a small number.

Although Dewen Company is rich, even if it is Teng Shu, if he wants to spend 3.5 billion to play movies for wild Pokémon, his old father will not agree without a suitable reason.

So Teng Shu had to either make money himself or find a way to get the alliance to play movies voluntarily.

"But the source of the film is also a problem. After the lights are turned off, this short film will probably have been shown almost all in Hoenn. It's time to start shooting some new horror films." Teng Shu thought of a problem.

Although it is scary after turning off the lights, wild Pokémon may scare you the first time you watch it, but after watching it ten times, you will naturally feel nothing. So in order to continuously obtain fear value, he also needs to shoot some other short films or movies to fill this gap.

However, Ghost Call is not suitable for being remade into a special Pokémon version. After all, wild Pokémon cannot use mobile phones and they cannot understand them.

Hannibal? No, if this TV series is released, the alliance will not allow it. If it causes some Pokémon copycat crimes, Teng Shu will be in big trouble.

So a horror short film is a good choice, and Teng Shu decided to make another one.

Chapter 102: Simple and Effective Face-Scare

[How to watch movies on the Never Deteriorate website: I found the correct way to watch Ghost Call! ]

[Is being a nympho illegal? : Is it okay to watch while exercising? ]

【Presenting a horror film to the world: You are worthy of it! 】

[How to watch movies on the Never Deteriorate website: Don’t make trouble, nympho, I think according to the “Non-Aggression Treaty between Humans and Ghosts”, if you receive a call from a ghost, you just need to hide under the quilt.]

[Water Mill: Indeed, according to the Human-Ghost Non-Aggression Treaty, the bed can be said to be the only weapon to save us! ]

[I am a ghost dimension: 6]

"Bed?" Teng Shu scratched his head while looking at the chat group on his phone. He really didn't expect that there is such a thing as a non-aggression treaty between humans and ghosts in the Pokémon world. But thinking about the horror movies he had watched before, Teng Shu found that in the Pokémon world, there seemed to be no horror movies about beds.

There is no scene where the protagonist hides under the covers and is attacked by evil spirits, just like those ghost Pokémon would not do that.

"Tsk tsk, if It's Me, a Ghost Story wasn't still in theaters, I would have wanted to make a film called The Grudge." Teng Shu licked his lips and rubbed his hands excitedly.

Although the saying that quilts can protect against ghosts is just a joke, when people have this impression, once it is broken, the fear it brings is unparalleled, just like the classic horror movie "The Grudge", when Kayako is seen when the quilt is pulled back, it is a childhood trauma for countless people.

But Teng Shu himself feels that Kayako in the bed is not actually that scary. After all, Kayako at that time did not have the classic stair-climbing makeup on. Her skin was just very white and her eyes were wide open. The reason why this is scary is that it breaks the settings of many horror movies, that is, when the protagonist is hiding in the bed, he is safe most of the time.

Although they would be caught and beaten by ghosts when they went out, when they were in bed, they would often take a breath tacitly and then continue to transition to the next horror scene.

Moreover, in The Grudge, going to the temple is useless, and exorcists are also useless, which highlights the fact that there is no solution. It seems that as long as you are infected with the curse and meet someone possessed by the curse, you will die.

This lack of solution further amplifies the sense of fear.

"But for wild Pokémon, these plots are not very effective...a simple sudden appearance is more frightening." Teng Shu took out a piece of draft paper and wrote down his thoughts on it.

A sudden face scare is when a ghost suddenly appears in the screen, accompanied by music or something, which will cause people to be startled. Although this type of scare has been overused, it has to be said that it is indeed simple and effective.

Perhaps the sudden face-scare method seems a bit backward to humans who have been influenced by horror movies for a long time, but what kind of group are wild Pokémon? These wild Pokémon have never seen the existence of movies and short films, so the simplest way of scaring can bring a more direct horror effect.

With this idea in mind, Teng Shu quickly wrote a simple short film.

The content is also very simple.

When a Spearow was flying in the sky, it saw a ball of fire below and a strange monster standing next to the fire. But when it continued to fly forward, it found a ball of fire in front of it, and the monster was still standing there, but it looked even more terrifying.

The Spearow flew over more than a dozen balls of fire, and the terrifying strange figure was getting closer and closer to the Spearow. When the Spearow was frightened, the monster beside the fire disappeared, and only the flames were burning.

But the next second, a terrifying monster suddenly appeared in front of Lieque, with a frightening face.

This is different from "After Turning Off the Lights". This time, Teng Shu did not choose those classic short films from the previous life. After all, many of those classic short films from the previous life were based on human technology and daily life. They were very scary for humans, but they were a little confusing for Pokémon.

It's like a short film, where the protagonist finds a ghost in a photo when he's flipping through it, and then flips it over and over again, and the ghost gradually gets closer and finally disappears, and when he turns around he finds the other person standing next to him.

Is it scary? Of course it is scary, but wild Pokémon don't know what a photo is, so the level of shock is naturally not enough.

Then there's the classic phone selfie, and the camera captures a bunch of facial recognition boxes floating around, which looks scary to humans but is incomprehensible to Pokémon.

So Teng Shu understood.

If you want to scare wild Pokémon, you don’t need such complicated settings. A simple sudden face-scare is very good.

"In theory, I don't need to shoot a short film of this level, but if I don't participate in the filming, can I still gain the fear value?" Teng Shu looked at the short short film in his hand. There was no plot, it was just for the sake of scaring people.

For a short film of this level, Teng Shu only needed to let the company's employees shoot it, but Teng Shu was also worried that if he didn't participate in the shooting, he wouldn't be able to gain any fear value.

So Teng Shu decided to do it himself. After all, this kind of shooting work was not difficult and could be done in one night.

As for the leading role, Teng Shu decided to invite Gengar. Gengar had previous filming experience, and Teng Shu had not had much contact with Gengar during this period. Even though Teng Shu and Gengar had a good relationship, the relationship still needed frequent contact to maintain.

From time to time, use Fear Cube and Gengar to work together, so that if there is anything in the future that requires Gengar's help, Teng Shu can also find him.

"Zoroak, pass down this shooting plan and let the company's employees find the sets and the required Spearow actors as soon as possible." Teng Shu called Zoroak in and handed him this simple shooting plan.

"Boss, are you going to take this and send it to Mr. Yaping?" Zoroak understood what Teng Shu was planning to take at a glance.

"Yeah." Teng Shu nodded. This short video was just for wild Pokémon.

Otherwise, if you keep showing wild Pokémon After Turning Off the Lights, Boss Cat, and Rattata, they will get bored.

Teng Shu is devoted to the spiritual development of wild Pokémon.

Teng Shu felt uncomfortable when he thought about the fact that there were no new and scary horror shorts to watch about wild Pokémon.

"Boss, this is today's news." Zoroark handed the phone to Teng Shu, who took the phone and took a look with some doubt.

Then he saw that in the lush forest, there were many trees that were split in the middle.

"?"

Chapter 103 What? Wild Pokémon are starting to imitate crotch-chopping trees?!

"Yaping, can you please explain why there are so many big trees split in the middle in the wild now?" The familiar meeting room, the familiar alliance president, the familiar Daigo, the familiar Yaping, the familiar Junsha Zhengyi, but the topic was different this time.

"How the hell should I know why there are big trees split in half?!" Yaping couldn't help but complain. It wasn't him who chopped down those trees. He wanted to transform all the desertified areas into forests. How could he possibly do such a thing?

Yaping was also a little helpless. Originally, the Pokémon Wild Environment Maintenance and Improvement Department was in a small circle in the alliance that was unknown and did its work with peace of mind. However, this year he had been summoned by the alliance president for the second time, which made Yaping a little annoyed.

The president of the alliance glanced at Yaping, then silently pressed the play button, and then a somewhat blurry surveillance picture appeared on the screen, but Yaping could see that this was a surveillance camera set up by the alliance in the wild to prevent fires, but what does this have to do with what happened today?

Then a Dream Song Cactus and a Cunning Tengu appeared in the surveillance. The two Pokémon jumped onto the tree and sat down. Then they split the tree in half with their crotches. The two Pokémon jumped around in the surveillance, seemed to be chatting about something, and then left with their arms around each other.

"Does he look familiar?" The president glanced at Yaping, and Yaping rubbed his face.

It looks familiar, of course it looks familiar.

Previously, Teng Shu brought a funny short film over and he watched it himself. The cat boss named Tom in the film made him laugh for the first time in a long time, and he naturally remembered this famous scene very clearly. Moreover, because of the president's request, he also specifically asked his subordinates to remember to interrupt the short film when playing it, and not to play it all the time after turning off the lights.

But

"If that's not enough, take a look at this." The president continued to press the play button. This time, a surveillance video from a small village appeared. It seemed to be a surveillance video from a farmer's home. The camera on it was clearer and had a recording function.

Then a cat boss appeared on the screen. He climbed up a big tree stealthily, then spread his legs skillfully and tried to chop the tree. But when he found that it didn't work, he changed to a small tree in frustration, and even used some tricks before he chop the tree. Then the cat boss made a familiar devilish cry, and left contentedly.

"How is it? Are you familiar with it?" the president continued to ask, and Yaping could no longer hold back.

This is exactly the same scene as when Tom Crotch chopped down the tree!

What is this? A Pokémon impersonation show?

Then the president started playing the short film on the Never Change website. She also specially cut out the scene where Tom chopped the tree with his crotch. Then everyone saw how the cat boss chopped the tree with his crotch, and the devilish cry he made was the same as the cat boss just now. The wild cat boss imitated the scene vividly.

"During this period of time, many large trees that were split in the middle were found in the wild in the Hoenn region. According to Dr. Odamaki's research report, these Pokémon seem to have regarded the behavior of splitting trees with their crotches as a new trend," the president muttered expressionlessly while holding a report.

Yaping broke out in a cold sweat.

He now understood the main purpose of the president calling him over.

"Then there's even a phenomenon of Pokémon passing from one Pokémon to another. Now on the islands near Hoenn, there are some Pokémon that will try to chop trees with their crotches." The president released a few photos, showing a Megalodon performing a tree-chopping trick with its mouth. No one knew how it jumped up, but it even chopped the coconut trees apart.

The president placed the photo on the table and glanced at Daigo.

"Yaping, what do you think?" the president asked calmly. Yaping took a deep breath and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

"I'll sit down and watch." Yaping started. It was not his fault. He did play the short film, but it was submitted to the alliance in the first place and the alliance had no objection. After all, it did not have any horror elements and was quite funny.

Isn't it inappropriate to put the blame on him now that something went wrong?
