Pokémon's Lord of Fear

Pious?

What the hell, why did he see piety?

"Yes, Director Teng Shu, I am really, very grateful that you can give me the opportunity to play such an excellent role of Sherlock Holmes. I want to become an actor under you." Dam said very seriously.

Zoroark on the side glanced at his boss and then at Dam.

I didn’t expect that my boss would meet such a unique person.

You have to know that Holmes has become very popular. Yesterday's final ratings broke the league record, reaching a staggering 5.1%, an astonishing number that can be said to be almost impossible to surpass in a short period of time.

If it is possible to surpass, it is Holmes surpassing himself.

As the leading actor of this TV series, Dam has successfully made it into the list of first-class male stars just by relying on this TV series. As long as he produces other works in the future, it will not be a problem for him to become a superstar in the league.

At this level, it would not be an exaggeration to say that people from Kanaz City to Green Ridge City line up to become the other party's agent.

It is even normal for the other party to set up his own studio and become his own boss.

However, I didn't expect that the other party actually wanted to join Ghost Pictures and let the company become his agent. In this way, no matter how much money the other party made in the future, Ghost Pictures would get a share of it.

Even if the boss is a bit more ruthless, he can make the other party one of the most valuable cash cows in the company.

"Well, since you have made this decision, then Zoroark, you ask the legal department to come over and talk to Dam about the contract." Teng Shu scratched his head. He understood what Dam meant.

Although he was a little surprised, Teng Shu had no intention of refusing. If Damu became an artist under his command, then it would be much easier to shoot the subsequent Sherlock Holmes in the future. Moreover, this actor's acting skills were indeed very good. As long as he did not develop any bad habits in the future, his achievements would definitely be more than what they are now.

"Thank you! Director Teng Shu!" Dam was very excited. Teng Shu smiled and waved his hands without saying anything. However, looking at Dam's excitement, Teng Shu was in a good mood.

This reminded Teng Shu of a sentence from Mencius.

If you treat me as a national hero, I will repay you as a national hero.

Chapter 174 Foundation Work

"Boss, people on the Internet are calling on us to release the second volume as soon as possible." In the office, Zoroark walked in with a smile, holding documents. It had changed its look today, with a pair of short boots on its white legs. The whole illusion looked very youthful and energetic.

"Hasn't it been confirmed that it will be broadcast on Saturday?" Teng Shu put the documents in his hand on the table and pinched his eyebrows tiredly.

Sherlock Holmes has become extremely popular during this period, and has been ranked first in the TV ratings during this period. This has also prompted a number of investors to increase their investment in the next season, and even the cost of product placement has been increased a lot.

This is good news.

But it’s not all good news.

Mewtwo couldn't be contacted.

Three days ago, after Dam came to his office to ask for a contract, Teng Shu could no longer contact Mewtwo. All the messages he sent to Mewtwo were unread, and the other party didn't even check his phone. This made Teng Shu a little worried. Did something happen to Mewtwo?

Although Mewtwo is very powerful and is a psychic Pokémon with a high IQ, Teng Shu has never underestimated Team Rocket. At least they have successfully created such a unique Pokémon like Mewtwo, so it has to be said that they do have this strength.

If a smart person discovered that Mewtwo had regained consciousness and then found that Mewtwo was communicating with the outside world, it would be hard to say what would happen.

"The discussion level is very high now. There is even a special discussion website." Zoroark took out his mobile phone and clicked a few times. He had been surfing the website intensively all night last night, watching people discussing it enthusiastically. Then, the gossip fire in his heart that wanted to get spoilers burned fiercely, tormenting him so much that he couldn't sleep all night.

"You're not involved, are you?" Teng Shu narrowed his eyes and looked at Zoroark. Zoroark smiled awkwardly, then quickly waved his hands to indicate that he had not given any spoilers at all, he just interjected a few words when he saw those people discussing.

The corners of Teng Shu's mouth twitched, but he didn't say anything. As long as it wasn't a spoiler, it would be fine.

The most exciting parts of a suspenseful detective drama are the plot, the final criminal, and the method of committing the crime. If these are spoiled, the excitement of the TV series will be greatly reduced.

The plot of the next episode is also based on the plot of the first season of "Sherlock Holmes", but Teng Shu made some modifications, so that Moriarty did not appear so early. Instead, the one who appeared was Moriarty's subordinate, the Squid King, a character that Teng Shu tried his best to create.

Moriarty's position in the original work determines that it is not appropriate for him to appear too early. Although he can be foreshadowed in advance, Moriarty himself must unveil the mystery in the end. It is best to make this villain have enough prestige so that his appearance can attract the audience's attention.

Make people think that this guy is really a madman, a highly intelligent madman.

If the villain is well-shaped, he can also be very charming.

What's more, Mr. Sakaki, who plays Moriarty, is also a very popular actor. Once his true appearance is revealed, the TV series Sherlock Holmes will be re-hyped.

"Zoroak, how's things going with Code?" Teng Shu looked at Zoroak and decided to ask about things related to his charity.

The Trainer's Departure Fund is a fund organization that does not need Teng Shu's attention. Although this fund was founded by him, it is essentially operated under the umbrella of Devin Company.

Therefore, Teng Shu never needed to pay attention to this fund. He would read the annual report every year, and the trainers he helped were indeed traceable, although some trainers would give up being trainers and return to being ordinary people after failing to challenge the gym.

But some people came out.

Although this year's Hoenn League has not yet started, Teng Shu already knows that a trainer he sponsored has successfully obtained eight gym badges in this competition and is qualified to participate in the competition.

Teng Shu plans to go and take a look when the time comes.

"Eh? Boss, have you also mastered the method of deduction?" Zoroark had a look of surprise on his face. Teng Shu felt a little puzzled, but after Zoroark handed over the documents in his hand, Teng Shu finally understood why Zoroark asked that.

Because Zoroark just happened to come here to deliver documents for the Love Foundation.

Teng Shu took it and looked at it.

Code has organized volunteer screening and helped ten sick families.

They are the type who have no financial means to treat their illnesses and can only be carried out and wait to die.

In the world of Pokémon, although there is insurance and some social welfare assistance, the same thing still applies: illnesses can be divided into major or minor ones.

Moreover, there are too many sick people, so social welfare assistance requires queuing, application, and assessment. The alliance can only find the most difficult and most urgent family to be helped among those who apply.

But there are just too many people like this.

In the annual work report released by the Pokémon League last year, in addition to those exciting economic achievements, Pokémon environment maintenance achievements, etc., there are also some heavy numbers.

In the Hoenn Alliance alone, there are more than 30,000 people who are extremely poor.

The alliance's special poverty standard is people who are unable to work, have no income, have no physical assets such as cars or houses, and can only rely on social welfare to survive every day.

For these people, they have to endure minor illnesses and wait for death from serious illnesses. This is their predicament as the bottom of the entire alliance.

But in addition to these extremely poor people, there are also some people who do not live a well-off life and live from month to month. For them, if they get a serious illness, they can only wait to die.

End your life in pain.

And it is this kind of people that Code helps.

Each medical record and each trembling letter of thanks were like red-hot irons, imprinted in Teng Shu's heart.

"This is the original intention of my establishment of this fund." Teng Shu sighed.

Among the ten patients helped this time, the one with the highest expense was a nine-year-old child who was born with congenital heart hypertrophy and needed a heart transplant. The surgery and medical expenses were very high. After comprehensive consideration, Code chose these ten people to be the beneficiaries.

"Edit and organize these things, post them on our foundation's official website, and then open up channels for social donations." Teng Shu waved his hand, and after Zoroark took it, Teng Shu paused.

Yes, maybe there's something else we can do.

Teng Shu decided to insert an advertisement for the foundation in the next episode, taking advantage of Sherlock Holmes' fame.

I caught a cold yesterday and didn't sleep well at night. There were people yelling outside late at night. I was speechless.

Chapter 175 A Few Things About Advertisement Placement

Advertising placement.

This is a question that cannot be avoided whether it is a TV series or a movie.

The quality of product placement will also affect the reputation of a movie or TV series, and will in turn affect the company that places the advertisement. Just like when Detective Chinatown 3 was released in his previous life, Teng Shu, who went there with the mentality of watching a movie, was covered in advertisements.

Teng Shu is not against product placement. After all, the available funds for movies and TV series are also related to advertisers. If there are more advertisers, the available funds for movies will be a little more abundant, and what will be presented to the audience will naturally be a better viewing experience. Therefore, product placement and movies can be said to complement each other.

But there are also negative examples.

The energy drinks that martial arts stars always hold in their hands and the nurses who insist on stealing foreign instant noodles from a country that is a major producer of instant noodles, these are still within Teng Shu's acceptable range. However, the so-called four kings of a shooting game that suddenly appeared afterwards, and the sports cars parked on the streets, are really unacceptable to Teng Shu.

That movie was also blacklisted in Teng Shu's mind. After all, he didn't want to watch a movie full of product placements.

"Ad placement of this foundation." Teng Shu touched his chin thoughtfully. It is not difficult to implant the charity foundation into the plot of the second episode. After all, just find a little girl holding a box to ask for help.

Therefore, Teng Shu plans to temporarily insert a magical plot change, that is, to let the behind-the-scenes villain Squid King of the first season, perform a scene in which all the funds of the underworld organizations that do not obey his management are donated to Teng Shu's foundation.

On the one hand, it can shape the character of the Squid King, and on the other hand, it can also advertise Teng Shu's foundation. However, this requires reshooting a segment, so Teng Shu called Zoroark over and asked Zoroark to contact the Galar Actors Association to help reshoot this short segment, and then speed up the editing and put it in the second episode as soon as possible.

When the time comes, if a viewer searches out of curiosity, they will find that this foundation really exists, and by combining the help files posted on the official website, they can receive a portion of the donations.

"Okay, boss." Zoroark agreed. It planned to do it immediately. After all, Teng Shu needed it urgently.

After watching Zoroark go out, Teng Shu picked up his phone and took a look. In the Penguin communication app, there was still no reply from Mewtwo, and he hadn't read the message, so what exactly happened?

How about taking the team to visit Xindao?

However, Mewtwo was unable to find the location of the island where it was located. The controlled researchers had no memory of the location of this island, and Team Rocket did a good job of protection.

All the scientific researchers and internal staff of the base were sent here secretly. They had no chance to come out to see the scenery, so apart from knowing that they were on an island, the location of this island was unclear.

In addition, Team Rocket also placed some isolation devices outside the island to prevent some detection. Mewtwo tried to scan it with his super powers, but almost triggered the alarm system, so there was no way to detect it.

Even the Rockets set up a fake sky dome to take pictures of the starry sky, and then the method of determining the location through the starry sky became unfeasible.

It has to be said that the Rockets have indeed taken protection to the extreme, almost completely eliminating the possibility of being discovered, and the mobile phones distributed internally have no way to turn on the positioning function, and the positioning function has been destroyed.

So Teng Shu talked with Mewtwo for so long, but he still didn't know where Mewtwo was.

New Island.

"There have been some anomalies in the data monitoring of the experimental subject during this period. The activity level of its brain waves feels a little wrong." The director of the institute was listening to the report of a laboratory researcher. He frowned and picked up the report to take a look.

The brain waves above are very smooth and regular, and look no different than before.

"This EEG monitoring chart is indeed the same as the previous one, but the problem is that in this experiment, we mobilized a large amount of information data, and also conducted certain smell and hormone stimulation. There shouldn't be no reaction at all." The researcher was still talking, and the director understood it after hearing this.

Regarding the current experimental subject, many experiments are being carried out, and some of these experiments are relatively secretive. Due to the requirements of the organization, many experiments are conducted crosswise, that is, different people are responsible for different projects, and others are completely unaware of the projects that others are responsible for.

The team in front of us is responsible for testing reproductive function.

Testing information hormones and pheromones to determine whether the target has the ability to reproduce is also a very important experimental requirement. However, after the experimental team used a lot of hormones and information hormones, the brain waves of the experimental subjects still did not respond and were very stable, just like before. This was not right.

Logically speaking, this concentration of hormone pheromones is enough to put the Pokémon in one hundred breeding houses into a special state of "Spring is Coming", but the brain waves of the experimental subjects did not react at all.

Even if someone is a born saint or a stone man, as long as he has the ability to receive hormones, it is impossible for him to have no reaction.

"I understand the problem. I will arrange someone to check it out. You guys can go down." The director pinched his brows. If it was any other Pokémon, he would be able to clearly see that there was something wrong with the other party. However, this experimental subject was a Pokémon that had never appeared in this world, so the director could not be sure whether the other party's behavior was normal or abnormal.

What's more, this new experimental subject has also invested a lot of resources of the organization, so everything needs to be done with caution.

In order to prevent any problems, the director even used a signal blocker in the institute during this period to prevent any problems from happening at this critical moment.

The director pinched his brows and walked out. As soon as he opened the door, he saw from the corner of his eye that there seemed to be a figure in his room, where he had just sat.
