Pokémon's Lord of Fear

The director turned his head and looked over, but there was nothing, as if everything was an illusion.

"I guess it's because you've been too tense recently." The director didn't take it seriously.

As a result, at the moment when the door was about to be closed, he once again saw a black figure sitting in his seat. The figure's figure and appearance seemed to be somewhat similar to him.

The director pushed the door open violently, but still there was nothing.

The office was empty.

Chapter 176 Thought Correction and New Script

"How interesting." The director squinted his eyes and looked at the empty office in front of him. He couldn't see anything here, but he did see a blurry black shadow sitting on his chair.

"Peripheral vision phenomenon? That's not right. I just saw it with my own eyes." The director became interested.

He doesn't believe in ghosts or gods, he only believes in science.

In the scientific community, there is a very common theory, which is visual correction. Generally speaking, when a person's eyes quickly pass over a place or see something out of the corner of the eye, the human brain will correct itself and make that thing look like something that the person knows.

In dim conditions, the brain corrects more efficiently.

This is also why after turning off the lights, the ordinary clothes hanging on the hanger will look like someone is standing there, especially when a person thinks more about it, the more he will find that this thing looks more like what he is thinking about.

There are even scientists who have done experiments when they had nothing better to do. They asked a person to walk at night and picked up some things along the way. The person ended up jogging to the finish line. When he reached the finish line, he said he saw a pair of feet hanging in the bamboo forest on the side of the road. It must be someone who had been killed and was hanging there.

As a result, the scientist took a high-powered flashlight and found the feet the other party was talking about. After confirming that it was the same pair of feet, the scientist turned on the flashlight and found that it was a piece of slightly dirty white cloth hanging there, which was not a foot at all.

The director tried to close the door, but this time, he saw nothing, which made him a little disappointed.

"I thought I could write a paper or something." The director sighed, turned his head, and then saw another self standing in the dim escape door in the corridor behind him, looking at him.

The other person's skin was gray and pale, and he looked like a dead person, but his face was almost exactly the same as his.

The director couldn't help but blink his eyes. The other person was still standing there, still in the same posture, with that half-smile on his face.

Only the green light from the security door occasionally illuminated the other person's face, with a hint of horror.

The director walked over quickly, and the self was still standing there.

When the director arrived at the security door, he found that the other party was still standing there with the same expression. The director frowned slightly. He originally thought that this guy would play the trick of disappearing, but now the other party did not move.

It was very quiet inside the security door, not a sound at all.

The director stretched out his hand, intending to touch this self, but he could not touch anything. As soon as he stretched out his hand, the self disappeared like smoke.

"Illusion?" The director had some other guesses in his mind. He couldn't help licking his lips, with excitement in his eyes.

"Is this guy mentally ill?" Mewtwo watched this scene through the camera of his mobile phone with mixed feelings.

Mewtwo was planning to scare the director of the research institute, and preferably make him run away out of fear. However, last time in the toilet, after finally creating a frightening atmosphere, the other party sent out Gyarados and directly blew up the toilet.

This time, Mewtwo learned from its previous failure and planned to play a psychological horror game. The previous preparations were to make the other party think about the supernatural, and then lead to another director, and the atmosphere was also deliberately created.

The entire corridor was silent, and with another self in the darkness, anyone would be scared to death if they saw this scene.

Not to mention that he fainted from fright, at least he shouldn't have the courage to come over to see what was going on with his other self. But the director of the research institute was not afraid at all and even dared to touch it. Now he even went to move some machines over, with an expression like "I'm going to use ghosts to write my thesis", which made Mewtwo's scalp tingle.

"Oh, it's so troublesome. My mobile phone can't access the Internet now." Mewtwo is a little bald, although it has no hair.

Originally, it wanted to ask Teng Shu if he had any solution to this situation, but it turned out that there was no way to access the Internet in this research institute. It controlled the mobile phone to the edge of the island but still couldn't access the Internet. It was completely unable to access the Internet and had no way to contact Teng Shu.

I don’t know what Teng Shu is doing now.

"For a new movie, why not just make 'Old Corpse in the Mountain Village'?" Teng Shu was sitting in the office thinking about the plot.

The explosion of Sherlock Holmes is a foregone conclusion. The second episode hasn't even aired yet but the discussion on the internet has been high. Even the actor who plays Dam and Pikachu who plays Watson have been receiving a lot of commercial orders during this period.

Even the company's business negotiation and cooperation department has some new business cooperation. Some mobile game companies want to cooperate with Sherlock Holmes. In a short period of time, the Sherlock Holmes IP has become the second largest IP under Ghost Pictures.

Tom and Jerry is still the most popular one, and no one has surpassed it yet.

So Teng Shu also has time to start planning the filming of his next movie.

As for the script, Teng Shu still plans to choose "Old Corpse in the Mountain Village". After all, this movie is a childhood trauma for many people and is also a representative work of domestic horror films.

However, this script naturally needs some adaptations. The horror atmosphere in "The Old Corpse in the Mountain Village" is also related to opera. When the singing style came out at that time, countless people's hair stood on end, and the sense of horror was instantly heightened.

But there is no drama in the world of Pokémon.

Although the different regions of the Pokémon world are designed based on the templates of different countries in the previous life, there is really no such thing as opera. Currently, the more well-known Pokémon world is the opera and some strange performances, which Teng Shu can't really understand.

"Does this need to be adapted, or not adapted at all, to add a drama to this world?" Teng Shu scratched Xiao Q's head, feeling a little conflicted.

But after thinking about it, Teng Shu decided to bring out the opera. After all, although there was no opera in this world, it was not impossible to promote the opera through the old corpse in the mountain village.

Is it possible that anyone would actually be interested?

And if opera is really popular, then a lot of horror films can be adapted from it.

"Boss, a screenwriter has come to the company." Zoroak knocked on the door and walked in.

Teng Shu put down the pen in his hand.

"Very talented?" Teng Shu looked at Zoroark with interest. Zoroark nodded immediately, holding a stack of papers in his hand, which should be the script written by the other party.

This actually aroused some interest in Teng Shu.

Chapter 177 Dollhouse

With the growth and development of Ghost Pictures, and Teng Shu's advancement to the status of a big director, Ghost Pictures is no longer the small and transparent company it once was. There are often people who want to try their luck or seek an opportunity. When Teng Shu gets off work, he can see some well-dressed handsome men and beautiful women hanging around the company entrance and nearby.

These people all came here to seek an opportunity. After all, it is possible that Teng Shu suddenly took a fancy to one of them. Wouldn't that mean they could get promoted overnight?

Teng Shu is well-known in the industry for his ability to promote people.

Promoting people is a mysterious thing. Some actors have abundant resources, and they can be picky about roles that others can't even get. But these people just can't become popular. No matter how they are filmed, they are only third-rate stars, and they are also criticized by others.

Some directors can make an actor famous with a movie with a small budget. Of course, this also has something to do with the quality of the movie itself.

It was like the directorial debut of a certain actress in her previous life, which made a previously unknown actress instantly popular and become the national mother. It also made her receive more resources all of a sudden. It can be said to be a real change of destiny.

The movies "Dead Silence" and "Call of the Ghost", shot by Teng Shu, have made the leading actors in them famous. Needless to say, Tom and Jerry are both phenomenal stars in the league. Even the new one, the wizard Rattata who only appeared in one episode, and Jerry's second cousin Merlin, have also gained considerable popularity.

There are many actors and naturally many screenwriters. Many people come to him or submit their own scripts, hoping that their works will be noticed by Teng Shui, so that they can make a lot of money.

But Zoroark was a guy with very high standards. Only excellent scripts could pass his test. This also led to the fact that Teng Shu had not seen any scripts until now.

It was rare to see Zoroark bring over a script, and Teng Shu picked it up and took a look.

"A Doll's House".

The first thing that catches your eye is the name of the script. Teng Shu didn't say anything, and the name can only be described as quite ordinary.

But as he started reading the formal script, Teng Shu soon became focused because he found that the script was really interesting!

What this script says is very simple.

A little girl bought a dollhouse, which was made in proportion to a house. It contained many miniature furniture and pots and pans. Simply put, it was a game of playing house.

Then one day, the girl discovered that there was a scary ghost in the dollhouse. The ghost appeared inexplicably in it, and then the scenes in the dollhouse appeared in reality. Then the girl discovered that the layout of the dollhouse and the dolls were exactly the same as theirs, and the appearance of the ghost also caused supernatural phenomena to appear in the real home.

A very innovative horror film.

Movies have actually become quite homogenized.

In the past, Hollywood blockbusters basically had some fixed templates, and directors and screenwriters all shot according to the templates, so the audience would find that these movies were basically a routine.

At the beginning, the protagonist lives a good life, then encounters a fuse, encounters problems, suffers setbacks, and is defeated by the enemy. Then the protagonist stands up from the predicament, becomes stronger, and then goes for revenge, fights with the villain for a while, successfully defeats the villain, and finally the whole family is happy.

This is particularly prominent in superhero movies, and screenwriters also like to add some political correctness, family conflicts and so on.

It can be said that except for some art films, most movies basically cannot escape this routine.

So the reason why niche movies like "Buried" can become popular is because they break this homogeneity and give the audience a novel experience.

“Although there is no particularly obvious routine in this world now, as more films are made in the future, the audience will also discover this script.” After Teng Shu finished reading the script in his hand, his first feeling was that this screenwriter must be a very hard-working person, and a bit traditional.

After all, in an age with computers, there are not many people who still insist on writing scripts by hand.

Moreover, Teng Shu thinks that this script is very innovative and different from those traditional horror films. It is quite interesting.

Dollhouses, a type of pretend play toy, are quite common in the Pokémon world. Many little girls like to buy them to play with, and some even collect them specifically for collection.

As a result, the dollhouse suddenly possesses a psychic property, and the supernatural phenomena happening inside will appear simultaneously in reality, which is very interesting.

"Did the screenwriter say anything?" Teng Shu asked without any context, but Zoroark knew what his boss meant.

"No, she seems to be planning to have a meeting with you, the boss." Zoroark shook his head. Teng Shu didn't say anything, but asked Zoroark to call the other party in.

After a while, Zoroark came in with a girl. She looked to be over 20 years old, but Teng Shu didn't know exactly how old she was. He was not good at telling the age of girls.

"Are you screenwriter Monica?" Teng Shu was referring to the name that the other party left on the script, a relatively rare name.

The names of different regions in the Pokémon world are slightly different. In the Kanto and Johto regions, there are more names starting with large and small, while in the Hoenn region, there are more names starting with small.

Monica.

This name is really rare.

"Director Teng Shu, I'm Monica." The girl looked at Teng Shu excitedly, and Teng Shu also chatted with Monica with a smile.

The other party readily expressed his willingness to sell the script, but he also made some small requests.

"Monica, are you planning to join my company?" Teng Shu was a little surprised.

What's going on? He could understand what Dam said.

After all, Dam was unknown before, and Monica, although not a big star before, had written scripts for two movies and two TV series, and was considered a successful screenwriter.

"Yes, Director Teng Shu, I really want to join your company." Monica said seriously, and Teng Shu touched Xiao Q's head.

He had no reason to refuse. The money for buying out the script was a drop in the bucket, and it would be nice to let Monica join. Teng Shu just felt that the screenwriting department of his company was a little weak.

But what Teng Shu didn’t understand was, why?

"Can I ask the reason?" Teng Shu asked curiously. In the Hoenn region, his company was not considered a leading enterprise.

This script is based on a horror movie. The setting is that the toy house is haunted, which is reflected in reality from the American TV series "The Phantom Flame".

Chapter 178 Xiao Bao: What? I beat the cheater? Is that true?

Hoenn Union Pictures is the undisputed leader in the Hoenn region and the place that countless Hoenn film practitioners yearn for. It can be regarded as a state-owned enterprise in the Hoenn region. The other one is Hoenn Dream Century Company, which was established early, has good employee benefits, and has a bunch of big-name directors, screenwriters and stars under its name.
