Pokémon, but cultural invasion

After half an hour.

The Metagross leader, with its overheated metal skull, output the calculation results.

The group of Metagross monsters crouched in front of the screen, watching as several fixed strips attacked several moving stick figures.

"The meaning is unclear; would humans really like this?"

After a long while, the giant golden monster looked puzzled.

"According to calculations, there is an 82.11% chance that this human's next game will be popular."

Metagross is extremely confident in its calculations, and it never doubts the possibility that its calculations might be wrong.

"This is a half-finished product; it's missing something."

The leader's dark red eyes gleamed with wisdom as he made a decision: "Send the results back one by one. I need to see the finished product from that human."

"Yes!"

The Metagross monsters responded in unison.

"This successful entry into the interior of the village marks another significant step forward in our understanding of human plans."

After the leader left, the giant gold monsters whispered among themselves.

"Have we been cheated out of computing power again?"

"Shh! The leader's neural network is still connected..."

Chapter Thirty-Two: Cast undecided, script not yet available.

Seeking Pokémon actors...Saffron City...

Oh—so Tingxiang Studio is in Jinhuang City.

The strange tree lay on its side, its hair scattered on the pillow.

I've heard that Goldenrod City is the most developed megacity in the Kanto region. I wonder how it compares to Hikari City.

She regretted not having time to visit Saffron City during her last trip to the Kanto region for the flower show in Saffron City.

I really want to go to the Kanto region again... My pitiful single weekend means there's simply not enough time for travel and sightseeing.

Qi Shu sighed and turned on the Navigator.

"The Electric Frog: You didn't invite me to make a movie?"

The messy blankets were kicked at her feet, and her delicate, fair legs were wrapped around them one above the other.

"Thoughts are flowing freely: insufficient funding, undecided actors, and no script yet."

The girl's rounded toenails had a faint pink tint; her toes curled up and then stretched out again.

He snorted coldly and typed:

"Electric Frog with a Powerful Belly: I don't believe it! (Electric Frog puffing out its cheeks.jpg)"

"Ideas are flowing freely: really, because I'm making a new game."

Could it be a soul wandering?

Qi Shu's eyes lit up, and he changed to a more comfortable lying position.

"Frog with a shiny belly: I still don't believe it unless you send it to me so I can see it."

"Thoughts flowed like a spring: I'll let you hear it, but never mind, I'll send it to you anyway."

In the picture sent by Quanshu, a hideous bluish-gray zombie is gnawing on a cute trumpet bud.

The trumpet bud looked incredibly pitiful with its teary eyes.

Why doesn't this trumpet bud move away?

Qi Shu pondered for a moment, then quickly gave up thinking about it.

This guy's games are different from others; every single one is strange and unpredictable.

"The Electric Frog: Is it in a state of mental wandering?"

"Inspiration flows like a spring: A level-based game!"

"Electric Frog: Where is my soul wandering? (Pikachu puzzled.jpg)"

"Thoughts flow like a spring: On the road."

A "#" sign appeared on Qishu's forehead, and his shark teeth were grinding together.

"Thoughts flowing like a spring: Soul Travel has always been in the future plans of Tingxiang Studio, and I believe it will be available to everyone soon."

Her anger came and went quickly, vanishing in the blink of an eye.

"Brewing Electric Frog: This live streamer is in a good mood. Movies need promotion, right? Let me tell you about the biggest discussion forum for rural games."

?

Open the code sent by Qishu.

Stardew Valley Farmers Community

Scrolling down a few pages from Quanshu, the discussions are all about normal game content.

Tips, rare seeds obtained by chance, and carefully arranged furniture.

The update announcement has stirred up a buzz, with the latest posts already discussing the movie "Tingxiang".

I heard they're going to film a movie in Tingxiang. Is it true?

"Insect Catcher: The announcement is true."

"Floating Gengar: The movie wasn't very good, I guess Tingxiang will lose money."

"Justice Hero Wind Fairy: Every profession is like a mountain, why not quickly bring up a bowl of games?"

The discussion forum was filled with pessimism, after all, the film industry is notoriously a sunset industry.

Quanshu tried contacting the forum administrators and received a response quickly.

"Little Magnet: Tingxiang Studio Official? No problem, I'll give you administrator privileges."

Sure enough, guys who have time to run forums are incredibly free.

The administrator can pin the post, but Quanshu didn't rush to promote it.

The group surfing the forum are fans of Tsubasa's games, and they will undoubtedly be interested in the movies made by Tsubasa.

The correct way to use them is to generate buzz in the weeks leading up to the film's release.

...

Oobi Cafe.

"It's so hot, this awful weather."

A-Che sat down at the opposite table and took out the manuscript from his bag.

"Thank you for your hard work, here's your cappuccino."

Quanshu pushed a cup of frothy coffee in front of him.

A-Che asked in surprise and doubt, "The Great Fox Thief is wishing the Fire Chick a Happy New Year. What do you want me to do?"

"Hey, we're a group."

Quanshu feigned anger, "Can't I buy you coffee if there's nothing wrong?"

"That's true..."

A-Che picked up the porcelain cup and took two sips.

The creamy milk foam melts between your lips and teeth, suppressing the slight bitterness of the coffee and highlighting its rich, caramelized flavor.

"But then again, our film is still missing a makeup artist and a prop master. Can you bring those in?"

"cough cough..."

Ah Che nearly choked to death. He wiped his mouth and said, "You're using me like Kirachi?"

Quanshu chuckled.

He simplified most of the film positions, but these two were unavoidable.

Good makeup and styling can enhance the sense of immersion, and some props are impossible for the Transformer to achieve.

"The film industry is declining. Makeup and costume are still okay, but prop masters are really rare."

"However, I have a friend whose family owns a toy factory and whose hobby is magic. Maybe I can get him to give it a try."

Quanshu's eyes lit up. As long as it could run, he didn't care whether it was a mule or a horse.

He opened the manuscript drawn by Tutu Dog.

A-Che truly lives up to his reputation as a genius photographer. A few pages of storyboards and compositions made Quanshu realize that this was exactly what he wanted!

"The second half will be out within a week, and there's no use in urging it."

"In addition, the photography class of the flight department has shown initial results, but unexpectedly, the best overall performance came from the supersonic bat."

"That night owl?" Izumi remembered.

"Yeah, nobody had high hopes for it, but it turned out to be the most promising one."

A-Che nodded.

With such a photography team, there will be no problems with multi-camera shots in movies.

The two discussed the storyboard and visuals, and then the first interviewee arrived.

"Excuse me, is this an interview for Tingxiang Film Studio?" a girl wearing a fisherman's hat asked timidly.

She was accompanied by a silver-white chinchilla.

"Yes, you want to interview this Chinchilla?"

Quanshu's attitude was gentle.

This handsome visitor from the Unova region is not currently listed in the cast.

He symbolically gestured for Chino to perform a few tricks, then approved it.

"Do not leave the Kanto region for the next two weeks. We will notify you when filming begins."

"Thank you so much."

The girl smiled, bowed, and left excitedly.

For the next dozen or so interviewees, Quanshu passed them off easily after testing their Pokémon's ability to follow commands.

"Is your social butterfly Ibu not here today?"

Ache discovered the blind spot; normally, Ibu would have jumped out to watch the show long ago.

"That guy is lethargic in the morning and drowsy at noon, so I brought Polygon."

Izumi was puzzled; Eevee didn't seem sick.

Could it be that it's about to evolve?

The afternoon flew by.

"My prop-making friend is named Guangtai. He'll contact you in the next couple of days."

"receive."

Quanshu gave an OK sign. Ah Che is so convenient.

With a sigh, he returned to the orphanage.

During the process, a large number of code files began to be transmitted, and he glanced at them briefly. The speed was very strange.

Even if we calmly calculate the average number of tentacle monsters per person, debugging this code still takes time.
