Pokémon's Lord of Fear

Chapter 122 Sherlock Holmes

"Zoroak, come here and take a look. Can you make this thing happen?" The next day, Teng Shu called Zoroak over. Zoroak took a look and saw a strange-looking creature with yellow fur and some black stripes on its body. Apart from that, the most eye-catching thing was the word "King" on its forehead.

"Boss, what is this? A Blazing Roaring Tiger?" Zoroark looked at this thing curiously. It had never seen this thing before. However, it looked somewhat similar to a Blazing Roaring Tiger, but not exactly the same. It even seemed more intimidating.

Teng Shu shook his head. How could this thing be the Blazing Roaring Tiger? It should be said that the Blazing Roaring Tiger was designed based on this. Moreover, the performance of the Blazing Roaring Tiger spitting fire from the belt made Teng Shu feel complicated, especially when using a move like flame jet. It was simply amazing.

The Siberian tiger looks domineering just by looking at it. Although it does not have any extraordinary abilities, it was one of the top predators in its previous life.

"Let me try." Zoroark tried it, and then a miniature tiger appeared in front of Teng Shu. It didn't look very big, about the same size as a golden retriever. However, from the outside, there was indeed nothing wrong with it, and it even looked somewhat real. But when the tiger opened its mouth, its teeth and tongue were exposed again.

The teeth turned out to be human teeth, and the tongue was also a human tongue. Teng Shu then realized that although Zoroark's phantom ability was very reassuring, it was not absolutely problem-free and still needed training.

Teng Shu narrowed his eyes. This wouldn’t work.

Although the tiger can be enlarged and the details can be controlled, Zoroark is the only one in Tengshu Company who is suitable for starring in this role. According to the current situation, it will probably be more troublesome to shoot it realistically. In addition, when the tiger hunts, the prey also needs to be constructed by Zoroark.

Moreover, if we film an animal world, the audience may not necessarily know what animals are what. It would be better to publish a setting collection first to introduce these animals, and then decide whether to film the animal world based on market feedback.

"In that case." Teng Shu touched his chin thoughtfully. It didn't matter. Teng Shu had a backup plan. He planned to start filming "The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes" and make it into a TV series, but the length of a TV series would be extended to about one to one and a half hours.

Teng Shu learned this from the British TV series "Sherlock Holmes" in his previous life. After all, detective dramas do not need to be divided into forty or fifty episodes. Even if there are only three or four episodes in a season, as long as it is exciting enough, it can attract people's attention.

A Study in Scarlet is the most suitable initial plot, as for the choice of characters.
Teng Shu originally planned to use human actors, but then he thought about the people in the Pokémon world's love for Pokémon. In addition, Sherlock Holmes's mysteries are not horror films, so even if Pokémon appear, it will not make people feel abrupt, but instead it can be used in some new ways. So Teng Shu finally decided to use Pokémon actors.

"Detective Pikachu, Pikachu is indeed quite suitable." Teng Shu excitedly typed his ideas on the computer. Seeing this, Zoroark quietly poured Teng Shu a glass of water and gently closed the office door.

Zoroak knew that once his boss got an inspiration, he would not care about anyone else and would not pay any attention to anything else outside. He would just concentrate on writing the script.

Judging from the boss's condition, he probably won't be coming out in the short term. I guess I can take a break today.

Thinking of this, Zoroark happily took out his phone, just in time to join in the activity. At this moment, Teng Shu was thinking, first of all, Holmes is naturally the core character in this TV series, smart and wise, and very talented, with some quirks, which makes him seem a little out of tune with normal people, but he is very resourceful and has full insight.

It would not be a good idea for Pikachu to play this role. For this role, Teng Shu requires extremely high acting skills and excellent micro-expression control ability.

Many times, a good actor does not need any makeup or scenery to perform the evil character that was often used in the previous life. Just a look or an expression can make the audience exclaim "the white lotus turns into a black lotus".

Compared to those actors who put on smoky makeup to show that they have turned evil, actors who can make the audience understand through their eyes and micro-expressions are good actors. A character like Sherlock Holmes requires such acting skills. The tightness or looseness of the eyebrows and the look in the eyes are all good ways to establish Holmes' character.

As for Pikachu, Teng Shu plans to let Pikachu play Watson, who can occasionally help Holmes at critical moments and notice something or something. He has a lot of scenes, and Pikachu is small and can stand on Holmes' shoulders.

"But Watson's character of a military doctor," Teng Shu thought. This is not difficult at all. Just say that Pikachu is a military doctor who retired due to injury from the League Investigator. Anyway, in the world of Pokémon, Pokémon are heavily involved in human life and production work. It is not a strange thing for Pikachu to be a military doctor.

Next comes the final villain throughout Holmes' novels, Professor Moriarty.

"The requirements for the role of Professor Moriarty are really high. He is a criminal genius, a criminal emperor, the king who controls the entire dark world of London, a super criminal, and also Holmes' most troublesome opponent." Teng Shu had a headache.

Moriarty is the final boss created by Sherlock Holmes. Although the author once let Holmes and his opponent fall into the waterfall and die together, but under the instigation of angry readers, Holmes had to be brought back to life, and Professor Moriarty died forever.

The characterization of Moriarty is very important, and a successful villain will make it easier for the audience to remember the work.

But the selection of personnel is a difficult issue.

"Logically speaking," Teng Shu thought of a type of Pokémon, the Psyche Pokémon, which are extremely intelligent, smart, and powerful. Maybe he could let the Psyche Pokémon act as Moriarty?
"I hate casting the most." Teng Shu sighed. He decided to shoot first. Moriarty's appearance would come later anyway, so there was no rush. There were still many unsolved cases to choose from, and Teng Shu could also think about this problem at the same time.

　I think what everyone said is right. It's okay to use Pokémon in detective dramas. Sherlock Holmes chooses human actors. Does anyone have any recommendations for Moriarty?
