Chapter 223 Equipment Update

"Ordinary families can't afford to pay, call the police." Zoroark also showed his character three times, Teng Shu covered his face, so why? Since they are all here as extras, they must know how expensive a camera is, right? This thing is ridiculously expensive, and ordinary families really can't afford a camera. If they want to smash you, it might be better to replace it with an ordinary camera. IMAX camera.

Teng Shu could only say that the other party’s family might be going bankrupt.

"Have you bought insurance?" Teng Shu asked again. It is necessary to buy insurance when renting IMAX, but sometimes people choose not to buy it for convenience. They can rent it by paying a little kickback.

"I bought it, and now the insurance company has sent people to investigate." Zoroark said honestly. Teng Shu shook his head helplessly. This camera belonged to someone else's company. Teng Shu and his team didn't have to pay for it. After all, it was the extra who smashed it himself. The company would only ask for compensation from the insurance company, and then the insurance company would pursue reimbursement from the person who caused the damage. The people in the insurance company were not simple.

Especially those people in the claims department of insurance companies, to some extent, these people are indeed talents.

They can do criminal investigation work, because some accident insurance requires them to investigate whether the death was really an accident or someone else deliberately defrauded the insurance. They also have some identification functions. There are also people who specialize in studying legal provisions and will try to find loopholes in various places to avoid compensation. This is also the most annoying department of an insurance company.

Being harassed by this group of people, the extra would probably be in great pain.

"So why did the other party smash the camera?" Teng Shu really couldn't figure it out.

"Ah, that extra said that he felt his acting was very good, but he just lacked an opportunity. He heard that you, boss, are good at promoting people, so he wanted to smash a camera to get your attention. As for the camera, he certainly can't afford to compensate for it, so he will stay in the group to work until his salary is enough to compensate for the camera." Zoroark's expression was very conflicted.

Teng Shu also showed the same expression as the old man on the subway.

What kind of devilish idea is this?

"Is he a good actor?" Teng Shu was a little curious. Could it be that such a confident person really is the type of person who has good acting skills?

After experiencing what happened to Dam, Teng Shu also knew that there are indeed some people in this world who have good acting skills, but they are just unlucky.

"It's very, very exaggerated, and the expression is also affected." Zoroark's mouth drooped. It was also very curious about this question at the time, and then went to take a look. After watching it, it can only say that the acting skills of an 18th-tier young actor are better than the other party.

Teng Shu shook his head. If that was the case, then there was nothing that could be done. He could only wish that guy good luck. With such a huge property loss, he would probably have to spend a long time in jail, and he would have to admire IMAX's money. It could only be said that sometimes people cannot be idle, because once they are idle, they will get into trouble.

"Let the insurance company negotiate with him and just rent another one." Teng Shu waved his hands. It was really weird that such a thing happened on the set.

However, after thinking about it, Teng Shu became a little hesitant. IMAX camera is the best camera currently. It is expensive, but there is a reason for the high price. The principle of "you get what you pay for" is fully demonstrated in the field of cameras.

"Forget it, let's contact IMAX and order a few IMAX cameras." Teng Shu decided to get a few cameras himself. Even if they are not used normally, they can be rented out to make money, right? Moreover, Teng Shu's Tom and Jerry, Sherlock Holmes, etc. can also use IMAX cameras to capture some shots.

"Okay, boss." Zoroark also recorded this matter. As for the fact that his boss wanted to buy a very expensive camera, Zoroark didn't have much feeling about it. His boss had money and could buy anything.

Teng Shu took out his cell phone, found the [Ghost Pictures Work Group], and sent a message in it.

He thought of something.

Since they have decided to buy IMAX cameras, they might as well update the company's filming equipment. Anyway, the second season of Sherlock Holmes hasn't even started filming yet, but they have already received astronomical advertising sponsorship. It's no use for Teng Shu to keep the money in his pocket, so he might as well use it to update the company's equipment.

[Teng Shu: The person in charge of the company's equipment group, please come over here]

[Ghost Pictures Equipment Team Leader: Got it! ]

When Teng Shu returned to the company, he saw a man standing at the door of his office with some anxiety. Teng Shu recognized him. He was the team leader who was responsible for the management, maintenance and purchase of various equipment of Ghost Pictures.

Teng Shu did not waste too much time and directly told the other party his request.

"Boss, you mean to replace all the company's equipment with the latest and best ones, right?" The man looked at Teng Shu with some surprise, his eyes almost shining.

"Well, I also asked my secretary to buy an IMAX camera. You should follow up on this step as well." Teng Shu raised his teacup, took a sip of tea, and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Okay, then boss, what's the budget for purchasing the equipment?" The man rubbed his hands. An IMAX camera, he had never bought such an expensive thing himself.

Teng Shu thought about it. This time, the advertising fees received by Sherlock Holmes Season 2 have reached 1 billion Alliance Coins, and are even slowly rising. Various brands want to join in the fun. This kind of phenomenal hit is worth such an investment.

"How much will it cost to replace everything?" Teng Shu asked back. If it exceeds 1 billion yuan, he would have to think about it. After all, some of these expenses would need to be used to pay for the film, rent the venue, etc., as well as the employees' salaries and so on.

"About 300 million?" The man thought about it. He was the one who negotiated for those equipments in person, and he knew how much it would cost to update them.

"Then let's update it." Teng Shu waved his hand. Three hundred million to update is about the same. It seems that there are not many equipments in the company, otherwise it may be even higher.

The man happily left with the note from Teng Shupi.

Teng Shu took the information in his hand and took a look at it.

Teng Shu is quite satisfied that Meowth, Kojiro and Musashi are willing to appear on the show. Although these three guys are members of Team Rocket, they are more like Xiaozhi's followers.

Even after Team Rocket failed and was liquidated by the Alliance, these three guys kept following Xiaozhi and running around various Alliance areas. Teng Shu even suspected that Kojiro and the others were spies sent by the Alliance to go undercover on Team Rocket, otherwise how could they be so relaxed.

"It's time to make an appointment for the script." Teng Shu stretched.

The story of smashing the camera was adapted from a real case. There really was someone who did this and thought the same way.

Chapter 224: Script with Huang Heihe

"..So, Teng Shu, what you mean is that you want to write a script that is mystery-based, yet humorous and won't kill people?" The familiar coffee shop, the familiar Huang Heihe, the other party looked at the request put forward by Teng Shu and asked with some surprise.

"Yes, I want to make a script that is humorous and won't kill people, but also has some strong reasoning." Teng Shu nodded. He didn't drink the coffee, but picked up a glass of ice water and took a sip.

After all, Teng Shu personally doesn’t particularly like drinking coffee. Instead, he prefers to drink mineral water or something.

"Let me think about this request." Huang Heihe rubbed his temples and fell into deep thought.

Huang Heihe had never seen such a request from Teng Shu. After all, in the mystery novels he wrote, even if there were humorous elements, they were generally used to adjust the atmosphere. People who were supposed to die still had to die, otherwise how could the urgency of the situation be shown?

What's more, his novels are very typical of the type where many people die in one death. His readers often send him knives in the mail, and he even does a weird thing of killing the heroine. Finally, under the pressure of public opinion and readers, Huang Heihe reluctantly resurrected the heroine.

Therefore, for Aragakuro Kasuru, it is really too difficult to write a work that does not involve deaths and has a humorous style.

But the problem is that Teng Shukai's remuneration is very generous, and even if it is not that generous, Huang Heihe does not want to give up. You know, this is a chance to become famous in the Sherlock Holmes TV series. For writers like them, being famous is the best thing. At that time, the royalties will naturally increase, and other people will come to ask for articles.

Although Aragaki Heizuru is now a well-known mystery detective novelist and doesn't really care about money, he does care about fame. He has seen the popularity of the first season of Sherlock Holmes.

Once the script he adapted is used, he can say that an episode of the second season of Sherlock Holmes was written by him. That would be a great feeling.

Most of the time, people living in this world cannot escape fame and fortune. Having fame and fortune is naturally the best.

Teng Shu was not in a hurry, he was watching a video.

Watch the video released by Mewtwo.

I have to say that Mewtwo is really efficient. In just a few days, he has released a guide to obtaining the platinum trophy for a popular work.

"The skills of video editing have become more sophisticated." Teng Shu smacked his lips as he looked at the video in his hand. Mewtwo's previous videos seemed a bit redundant, but this video was much simpler.

Accompanied by Mewtwo's inexplicable sound, Teng Shu was watching with great interest.

Even so, the number of fans is still pitifully small, with only over 5,000 fans.

"It's not easy to create an account nowadays. Without capital investment or distinctive features, it's very difficult to create an account." Teng Shu smacked his lips.

The competition among these A-po-masters on a certain video website that claims to never deteriorate can be said to be extremely fierce. Basically, in each district, there are only a few famous A-po-masters, a bunch of middle-level ones, and countless lower-level ones. There are also many people in the game zone who make platinum guides. Teng Shu feels that it is very difficult for Super Dream to become popular.

However, according to Mewtwo's update speed, there is still a chance.

"But working on these popular works every day." Teng Shu looked at the video on his mobile phone. Although popular works have many people playing, the competition is relatively fierce. There are all kinds of guides for Black Myth: Phoenix King all over the world. Teng Shu feels that it is not easy for Chao Mengxiang to get a share of it.

It would be better to just make a platinum video guide for unpopular niche games, where the competition won’t be so fierce.

Thinking of this, Teng Shu sent a text message to Mewtwo, telling him his idea, and then Teng Shu put away his phone because Huang Heihe had already made up his mind.

"I can write it, but it may take some time." Huang Heihe nodded and agreed. Although this style is still a bit challenging for him, Huang Heihe still doesn't want to miss this classic work of Sherlock Holmes.

"That's no problem." Teng Shu waved his hand. The idea of ​​adding three actors temporarily was a sudden one for Teng Shu himself. And because they were going to shoot Sakaki's follow-up shots this time, Teng Shu also needed to think about Moriarty's appearance and how to make Moriarty leave.

It would be fine if we leave this out. After all, in the original novel, Holmes and Moriarty fell into the Reichenbach Falls together, and their lives and deaths were unknown. The original author Conan Doyle originally intended to end the Sherlock Holmes work here. The world's most powerful detective Sherlock Holmes and the most vicious criminal Moriarty died together.

But the readers who saw this at the time were so angry that they rushed to Conan Doyle to protest. Coupled with pressure from other aspects, Conan Doyle had to hold his nose and write The Return to revive Sherlock Holmes.

However, how the battle of wits between Holmes and Moriarty unfolds is a problem. After all, in the original work, the dispute between Holmes and Moriarty was mostly reflected in the fact that Holmes destroyed the case planned by Moriarty's subordinates, which eventually angered the underground emperor, leading to the final case.

"Moriarty's standards cannot be too low." Teng Shu thought as he watched Araki Heizuru sign the contract, while Ms. Shirai sat quietly beside him.

Teng Shu chose to sign a contract with Aram Heizuru. After all, it involved the popular TV series Sherlock Holmes. However, it was just a formality. Although Teng Shu was not worried that Aram Heizuru would leak the script or anything, signing a contract to protect each other's interests was also a common practice in the adult world.

It would be even more difficult to write about a battle of wits between two people, but Teng Shu thought of some cases in other mystery works.

If Moriarty went directly to confront Holmes, it would be a bit unworthy of the title of the dark crime king of London, so Teng Shu thought it would be better for Holmes to confront some criminals trained by Moriarty first, and then take this opportunity to fight Moriarty from a distance.

Then all of Moriarty's men are captured step by step, and finally there is the final showdown with Moriarty. This will allow Sherlock Holmes to be filmed for more seasons on the one hand, and on the other hand it will also ensure Moriarty's status.

And in this way, Sakaki won't need to appear in many shots. Teng Shu only needs to design a few shots after Moriarty's subordinates fail. Finally, set up two scripts and one ending for Moriarty alone, and the filming can be completed.

Chapter 225 Come Out! Rayquaza!

"The Invisible Guest" and "The Mysterious Affair at Styles" are the scripts that Teng Shu prepared for Moriarty. One of these two works is an excellent mystery movie, and the other is a classic in the mystery novel world, which can be the stage for Moriarty to appear.

The disappearing guests will lead to Moriarty, and Styles Manor will become a battle of wits between Moriarty and Holmes. As for Moriarty's personal fate, Teng Shu is a little confused.

Teng Shu was not very satisfied with the low standard. If it was too high standard, it would be too difficult to write. In addition, the plots of those famous suspense detective novels had already been completed. How to arrange Moriarty became a very entangled problem for Teng Shu. He had also considered those famous real-life cases in his previous life.

However, there are not many opportunities for Moriarty to appear in the film. After all, according to the setting, Moriarty is a super criminal who controls the entire criminal network in England and is a well-deserved professor.

"Forget it, let's talk about it after Sakaki comes." Teng Shu shook his head, then picked up a pen and signed his name on the contract. In this way, he and Aramachi Heiruo completed the contract. The next step was to wait for Aramachi Heiruo to finish writing the script and send it to him.

Teng Shu was quite optimistic about the level of Huang Heihe, but there was only one reason for him to choose Huang Heihe, that is, Huang Heihe was a pure mystery novelist, and all the plots, characters, and scenes were all for the purpose of reasoning.

If he were placed in a certain island country, he would probably be a writer of orthodox mystery novels.

The plots written by such novelists may not be particularly humorous, but the weight of reasoning is sufficient.

Although Teng Shu intends to insert some humorous clips into Sherlock Holmes to increase the fun of the TV series, Teng Shu also knows that Sherlock Holmes's foothold is still reasoning. Reasoning is a link that must be taken seriously and no problems can occur.

After signing the contract, Teng Shu said goodbye to Huang Heihe.

"Ms. Shirai, is everything okay at Dewen Company now?" Teng Shu asked the woman next to him casually as he was walking on the street.

As the head of the legal department of Dewen Company, Shirai is also one of the company's senior executives. He has also known the old father Mu Jin for some time, so Teng Shu was very casual when talking about these things.

"Everything is normal, but President Mu Jin seems to be a little uneasy recently." Bai Jing said. Teng Shu paused, then turned his head to look at Bai Jing. What the hell? The old father is uneasy?

How come he didn't see it at home?

Although the old father was as busy as ever during this period, he would occasionally eat at home. He had even praised Teng Shu's new movie for having grossed over 500 million yuan. At that time, the old father was smiling. Why is he so uneasy now?

"The reason may be from the prison? I saw President Mu Jin go to the prison before, and it seemed that he was visiting someone." Shirai did not hide the fact that she came out to take over Teng Shu's legal contract this time just to talk to Teng Shu about this matter.

Otherwise, there would be no need for Shirai to get involved in signing a contract with a writer, as Teng Shu's ghost company also has a legal department.

"Prison?" Teng Shu frowned. He was not worried that his old father would give birth to a younger brother or sister for him and his brother. Even if he did, he would not care. But what could possibly bother his old father in a place like prison?

Then Teng Shu thought of a person, a person he had captured.

It can't be said to be an arrest, but Teng Shu did subdue Xijiana and handed her over to Miss Junsha, so there is nothing wrong with saying that Xijiana was arrested by Teng Shu.

Teng Shu thought about it and felt that the only person who could make his old father uneasy was Xi Jiana. After all, the matter concerning Xi Jiana was really hard to explain.

Teng Shu already knew some information from his elder brother Daigo. His father had helped the alliance complete the plan to capture Rayquaza, and then he actually subdued Rayquaza for research. Rayquaza had a group of guardians and believers, and they were the People of the Meteor.
