Pokémon's Lord of Fear

Chapter 213 Film Critic Lao Hei

"I want to see how your movie is." Just as Teng Shu and Daigo were sitting in the cinema watching a movie, in the Unova region, a man was muttering something, tightly holding the movie ticket in his hand.

The man's name is Lao Hei, and he is a self-media blogger. His favorite thing is to review movies, especially those popular ones. He reviews whatever works are popular. He is quite famous on the Internet and has one million fans.

But this time, he came to watch the movie with a purpose.

He plans to give a critical review of director Teng Shu's new work.

Teng Shu is a rising star in the Pokémon world movie circle. The movies he has made since his debut have received very good reviews and ratings. Many people also flatter Teng Shu as the leader in the field of horror films, but Lao Hei scoffs at this.

Lao Hei looked down on Teng Shu's movies. After all, in his opinion, horror movies were not up to standard. There was no artistry, no investment, and no big production. They just relied on those clichéd face-jumping scares to scare people, which was completely meaningless.

"I must correct this bad trend and return a clean world to the film industry!" Lao Hei looked at the movie ticket for "Old Corpse in the Mountain Village" in his hand, took a deep breath, his eyes filled with anger.

Of course, this hint of anger was definitely not because he had contacted Ghost Pictures before and wanted to ask for a promotion fee, but was rejected.

Lao Hei walked in with great dignity, then came to his seat. Looking at the couples around him, Lao Hei curled his lips, then took his popcorn. This time he must criticize the movie harshly, criticize it as worthless, and let Ghost Pictures know how terrible it is to offend a film critic.

"A psychic game? What a stupid setting." Lao Hei was a little disgusted when he saw the beginning. What era is it now? Are they still using a psychic game to advance the plot? But Lao Hei didn't say anything.

Because this is a common practice in the industry.

As long as it's a horror movie, someone has to seek death, someone has to refuse to listen, someone has to do what others tell him not to do, otherwise there's no way the plot can move forward.

If everyone stopped seeking death and lived honestly in the city, it would be difficult to continue making horror films.

Lao Hei was watching very attentively, after all, he came here specifically to find fault. If he didn't watch carefully, he wouldn't know how to criticize. A qualified troll needs to have something to say, otherwise his comments will be messy and the audience will not buy it, and he will easily become a laughing stock.

"As always, there is no Pokémon setting. Haha, these so-called evil spirits are probably just a bunch of trash when facing Pokémon." Lao Hei made another note in his mind.

He had previously discovered that there was a problem with the films shot by the new director Teng Shu. That was that there was no Pokémon. There were no Pokémon in them. It seemed as if Pokémon did not exist in Teng Shu's films, especially in the horror films such as "Dead Silence" and "Call on Me".

Just when Lao Hei was thinking this, Chu Renmei was in the toilet. She ignored Gengar's attack and directly pressed Gengar's trainer into the toilet, drowning him. There was no movement.

Lao Hei subconsciously sat up straight.

There are Pokémon? How is that possible!

However, the strange power that was torn apart by Chu Renmei later also proved to Lao Hei that Pokémon did appear in Teng Shu's new work, which made Lao Hei a little confused.

The frightening plots in the middle made Lao Hei a little distracted. He had previously planned to attack Teng Shu with the title "A movie world without Pokémon" to make Teng Shu suffer a loss. But who knew that Pokémon would appear in this movie, which made Lao Hei a little unacceptable.

After watching it, Lao Hei was a little absent-minded. He was thinking about how to criticize it, but now with Pokémon, Lao Hei found that he couldn't find many things to criticize for the time being. After all, if it is simply discussed as a horror movie, Village Ghost is undoubtedly a success.

It’s scary, and even though I don’t understand some of the elements in it, it somehow gives people an eerie feeling that makes people feel uneasy.

Even Lao Hei was scared several times and almost dropped the popcorn in his hand onto the head of the person in front of him.

"This movie is so scary." When the movie was over, Lao Hei followed a couple, thinking about how to attack Teng Shu better.

"Yeah, it's a good thing I didn't bring Xiaobao to see." The man also breathed a sigh of relief, but Lao Hei behind him was stunned.

[Is the old corpse in the mountain village excellent? Lao Hei will analyze it frame by frame for you! ]

[Hello everyone, this is Lao Hei. Today, director Teng Shu’s new film “Old Corpse in the Mountain Village” is released. As a film critic, Lao Hei naturally chose to go to the cinema to watch it immediately. Now that I have finished watching it, I want to tell you my feelings.]

[Let's talk about the advantages first. Director Teng Shu of this film obviously absorbed the opinions of everyone on the Internet, and then added some other factors to successfully resolve some of the online debates. However, such an ending also makes people a little dissatisfied. After all, who made this movie? Maybe Director Teng Shu needs to pay a labor fee to those who provided inspiration.]

【Then let’s talk about the shortcomings】

[A classic problem is that when director Teng Shu was filming, he never seemed to take into account the diversity of the audience. He made the film too scary and horrifying, and it is not suitable for children to watch. It will scare children to tears and leave an indelible psychological trauma.]

[Moreover, Director Teng Shu did not take the interests of minority groups into consideration when filming. There are also some hidden and high-level plots that attack minority groups in the film, which made me feel very uncomfortable after watching it.]

In the evening, Lao Hei's film review was released, and soon, this review received a "blow-up" symbol, which meant that this review attracted a lot of attention and participation.

This made Lao Hei a little excited. As long as he succeeded, his commercial value would be increased, and he would be able to make more money!

But what he didn't expect was that when he opened the comment section, it was full of insults to him.

[You're crazy! Should we let a LGBT person play Chu Renmei? 】

[Ah? Ah?! Is there really anyone who takes their children to watch a horror movie? ]

[You are all wrong. Laohei definitely wants a black person, a LGBT person, and a neutral person who identifies as an armed helicopter to play the male lead! ]

[To be honest, I still like this movie very much. I find the strange singing style in it very interesting! Love comes from the Kalos region]

Chapter 214 Daigo: Little brother, do you like white hair?

Teng Shu looked at the tombstone in front of him and presented a bouquet of flowers.

The old father and elder brother also presented a bouquet of flowers. Teng Shu and Daigo looked at each other and left first.

It's like this every year.

After laying flowers, the old father always goes back last, and every time he drinks in front of the tombstone and chatters about trivial matters at home. Teng Shu and Daigo also tacitly leave this space for the old father so that the old father can have a place to talk.

"Brother, how's the situation with the water fleet going?" Teng Shu and Daigo were sitting in the car, and Teng Shu couldn't help but ask.

Teng Shu hasn't seen Daigo for a while since his brother followed the alliance to deal with the water fleet, but there was no news about the destruction of the water fleet in the news. It was so quiet as if nothing had happened.

"We found a base, but the main force of the water fleet has disappeared, and the Alliance is still tracking them." Daigo did not hide it. After all, Teng Shu was his younger brother, and he was the one who discovered the water fleet. No matter how he tried to keep it secret, it would not be possible to keep it secret from Teng Shu.

Although the alliance requires confidentiality, Daigo doesn't care about it.

"Is that so?" Teng Shu narrowed his eyes. It seemed that those guys from the water fleet still escaped. Although they destroyed one of the opponent's bases in Shuijing City, as long as their personnel losses were not too great, the water fleet could still cause trouble.

However, without a base for logistical support, Teng Shu felt that the water fleet probably would not have much ability to snatch the red and blue orbs from the Songshen Volcano.

All in all, Hoenn has temporarily avoided the fire or water crisis like in the plot. The only unavoidable crisis is the meteorite that may hit in the future, and that meteorite needs the help of Rayquaza to be destroyed.

However, Teng Shu had no idea about the meteorite problem, nor did he know where Rayquaza was now. Moreover, if he wanted Rayquaza to cooperate with him, he had to obtain the MEGA Stone that could allow Rayquaza to super evolve.

Tengshu has not been collected yet.

"By the way, there is one more thing." Daigo seemed to have thought of something and asked Teng Shu. Teng Shu was a little confused, but still looked at Daigo, waiting for his brother to say something.

"You know that your childhood playmate Shizuka is now working for the Galaxy Team, right?" Daigo mentioned a name as soon as he opened his mouth.

A figure flashed through Teng Shu's mind. It was a little girl with white hair, standing beside him like a follower.

"Yeah." Teng Shu nodded. He knew about this before, but he didn't care much about this kind of thing. Although he and Shizuka were childhood playmates, they only got along for two or three years, and then Shizuka moved away.

As an adult soul, Teng Shu naturally would not have any improper thoughts about a little girl, so for so long he just treated Shizuka as his friend.

But when it comes to Shizuka, Teng Shu's expression is a little subtle. He remembered that Zoroark also asked him to call it Shizuka, and this habit has not changed until now. This made Teng Shu a little confused. He even began to doubt whether Zoroark was really a human.

Teng Shu has entrusted the old butler to contact archaeologists in the Sinnoh region to help investigate whether any antiques that could prove Zoroark's identity have been excavated in the Sinnoh region.

"Your childhood playmate is now doing very well in the Galaxy team. He is often active in public and is known as the highest-ranking cadre of the Galaxy team." Daigo observed his younger brother's expression with an inexplicable look in his eyes.

He is still very concerned about his younger brother Teng Shu, and Teng Shu has never been in a relationship since he was a child. This makes Daigo a little worried that his younger brother has fallen in love with that childhood playmate. But the problem is that the other party is now a senior cadre of the Galaxy Team and is really not worthy of his younger brother.

"This is a way to die." Teng Shu pinched his eyebrows. He didn't know why this childhood playmate joined the Galaxy Team after he moved away. After all, since Shizuka moved away, Teng Shu rarely contacted her.

Of course, the main reason was that the other party seldom contacted Teng Shu. Teng Shu wrote several letters but received no response, and he couldn't get the other party's phone number, so the contact naturally cut off over time.

"What do you think?" Daigo looked at Teng Shu and asked tentatively. Teng Shu was stunned for a moment after hearing this. What does this have to do with him? But soon Teng Shu realized what Daigo meant by this sentence. Is he worried that he and Shizuka will rekindle their old relationship?

Thinking of this, Teng Shu couldn't help but feel a little amused.

Although Shizuka is a beautiful girl with white hair, which is more in line with Teng Shu's XP system, Teng Shu considers himself an adult and treats Shizuka more like accompanying a child, so naturally he doesn't have any other thoughts.

"I don't have any thoughts. Although I played with Shizuka for a few years when I was a child, it's been so long and we haven't been in touch, so naturally the feelings have faded." Teng Shu was very free and easy. He really didn't care much about this matter.

If Shizuka had always been in contact with him, Teng Shu might have been a little hesitant, but after Shizuka moved away, Teng Shu had no contact with Shizuka, so naturally there was no relationship between them.

Feelings that have not had any contact for more than ten years will naturally fade.

Daigo breathed a sigh of relief.

Logically speaking, the Galactic Team in the Sinnoh League region should have nothing to do with the Zfuchi family in the Hoenn League, but unfortunately, Shizuka, the highest-ranking officer of the Galactic Team, is a child who has some connection with Teng Shu, so Daigo is naturally worried that Teng Shu will go crazy and drag the entire family into this abyss.

As the league champion, Daigo sees things very clearly.

The alliance can accept the Zvoci family's Devin Company to become the leading enterprise in the entire alliance area, but it does not allow the second son of the Zvoci family to have any connection with a dark organization. This is absolutely not allowed.

Fortunately, Teng Shu did not have such intention.

"That's not right, brother. You ask this because the Alliance is going to take action against Team Galaxy?" Teng Shu thought of something. It was very strange that Daigo, who only cared about stones, suddenly cared about this issue.

Daigo smiled and nodded. He had received an invitation and would go to the Sinnoh region soon to participate in the elimination campaign against the Galactic Team in order to undermine the morale of the Galactic Team.

At the same time, it also intimidates dark organizations in all regions and makes them see clearly who has the final say in this world.

Chapter 215 Aesthetic fatigue

"The box office for the premiere exceeded 100 million." When Teng Shu got up the next day, he saw the message on his mobile phone. He yawned and put the phone away.

It was not unexpected for Teng Shu that the box office of "Old Corpse in the Mountain Village" could exceed 100 million. After all, the movies that Teng Shu had filmed since his debut were all excellent, without a single bad one, which also accumulated some reputation.

Word of mouth is something that is extremely difficult to accumulate, but once accumulated, it is priceless.

Teng Shu attaches great importance to word of mouth, so he tries his best and strives for perfection during filming. This is also the reason why Teng Shu's movies basically make over 100 million yuan at the box office once they are released.

The audience all believed that Teng Shu would not make a bad movie, so they were naturally willing to spend money to watch movies in the cinema.

Teng Shu stood up, then glanced at Xiao Q who was sleeping beside him, smiled and rubbed Xiao Q's head, but when his eyes fell on the other side, Teng Shu's expression became a little subtle.

Fugui is still working on the test paper.

I've been working all night, or maybe Fugui got up too early and didn't even notice the fact that he was rolling?

What kind of scroll king is this?

"Fugui, did you have a good rest?" Teng Shu couldn't hold it anymore. He leaned over and asked softly. At the same time, his eyes fell on Fugui's test paper. It was very difficult to understand.

The above is an economics question, but Teng Shu couldn't understand how to answer it. However, Fugui wrote it very smoothly. Teng Shu smacked his lips, and he suddenly understood why some parents were unable to teach their children academically.

It’s not that I don’t want to, but I can’t.

If you take out a fifth-grade math problem now, Teng Shu may not be able to answer it. He cannot even solve a linear equation with two variables. After graduating from college, he returned all this knowledge to the teacher and forgot it completely.

There was a "gurgling" sound, and Fugui nodded. However, when Fugui raised his head, Teng Shu seemed to see dark circles under his eyes. Teng Shu subconsciously rubbed his eyes, and the dark circles disappeared.

But think about it, how could a Pokémon like Fugui, which has ghost and steel attributes, have dark circles under its eyes?

"Let's count the days." Teng Shu thought for a while. It was only a few days away from the start of the entrance examination for Hoenn Union University. Fugui must be under a lot of pressure right now.

The only problem is how to make Fugui relax. Teng Shu remembers that if a Pokémon like Saifuhao wants to relax, the general choice is to swim in the sea of ​​gold coins.
