Pokémon's Lord of Fear

Chapter 193: Gengar Beats Mary Shaw

"Boss, have you bought the collector's edition of the latest game "Myth: Black Phoenix King" recently?" Zoroark asked Teng Shu curiously on the way to the audition.

"You mean that game? I must have bought it." Teng Shu said naturally.

The gaming industry in the world of Pokémon is actually quite developed. In the previous "Sekiro: Phantom Second", players can control Gengar to play a difficult soul-style game. There are even popular blockbusters such as "Pokémon Hunter". However, during this period, the most popular thing in the gaming circle is the new work "Mythology: Black Phoenix King" launched by a previously unknown game company.

It became an instant hit as soon as it was launched, and remained at the top of the hot search list. It became the most popular product before it even went on sale. It is hard to imagine how popular it would become if it were to go on sale.

"I've read some reviews. The BGN Alliance headquarters gave it an 8, and the BGN branch gave it a full score of 10!" Zoroark rubbed his hands excitedly. Teng Shu was not too surprised when he heard it, as he had also read the news.

"This score basically means that it is impossible to be Bao Si. However, BGN's rating is not very objective anymore. After all, the rating of "Reading the Starry Sky" launched by the company before did not match its actual performance." Teng Shu shrugged.

He had high expectations for Black Phoenix King. He pre-ordered it right after it was released and also bought the collector's edition. However, Teng Shu had a general impression of BGN as a company. After all, the ratings of this company were weird, which made people wonder if there was any PY transaction involved.

For a game as crappy as Starry Sky to be given a rating of 7, or even 9 or 10, it can only be said that it is not very objective.

"I'm looking forward to playing." Zoroark was very excited. Teng Shu glanced at Zoroark. Want to play early? According to the time calculation, when the Black Phoenix King officially starts playing, Teng Shu may be on the way to prepare for the filming of the movie.

This time, Teng Shu does not plan to shoot the Mountain Village Corpse in other areas. After all, some of the locations needed for the Mountain Village Corpse can be found directly in the Hoenn area, and lakes and the like can be replaced by the lake in the Orange Forest.

During this period, Teng Shu seldom went to the puppet theater in Chenghua Forest and the horror hospital, but he was not completely unconcerned about them.

Nowadays, the number of visitors to both the Horror Hospital and the Doll Theater is relatively stable, with more visitors on holidays and very few on weekdays.

Although the Dream Demon did not complain to Teng Shu, Teng Shu knew that he had to find a way to solve this problem.

Those ghost Pokémon don't cost much, but Teng Shu can't just sit back and watch the amusement parks under his name lose money. Now these amusement parks are basically at a stage where they survive by relying on the fame of Teng Shu's movies.

Whether it was when Dead Silence or If You Call were released, these amusement parks were very popular, but when these works were taken off the shelves, their popularity instantly dropped.

“If that’s the case, even if I continue to make the amusement park more popular through Old Corpse in the Mountain Village, once Old Corpse in the Mountain Village is off the screen, the popularity will be gone.” Teng Shu frowned slightly, he opened the door and walked in.

The employees in the company hurriedly greeted Teng Shu. Teng Shu nodded and looked up.

The judges this time were Fawu, Damu, and Ada.

Teng Shu nodded and sat in the middle seat.

Ghost Pictures has made some progress now, but there is still a gap compared to those old film companies. There are basically only a few people in the audition. Fawu is a permanent guest. He is old and has to come here every day to watch others perform acting skills. Dam is an acting school, so it is normal for him to come here. Ada is one of the few directors in the company. Although he is only responsible for Tom and Jerry, he is also a director, right?

Teng Shu felt that perhaps his company should train some new directors, otherwise many works would be waiting for Teng Shu to shoot himself.

Monica's Dollhouse, such a good script, Teng Shu could only find people from outside, but the good news is that the filming of this movie has already started. Teng Shu took up a position, and he planned to see if he could gain fear value in this way. If he could, it would be the best.

By then, some good horror films or thrillers can be given to other directors to shoot, and Teng Shu's speed in earning fear points will be greatly increased.

Soon, the actors who came to audition came in one after another. After watching for a while, Teng Shu decided on the two actors who would play Xiao Ming and Fa Mao this time, and also confirmed a bunch of extras.

There are quite a lot of extras in the movie "Old Corpse in the Mountain Village", and the supporting characters who played the psychic game at the beginning also took up some roles.

After the actors were confirmed, Teng Shu handed over the preparation work to Fawu and Zoroark. There was not much content that needed to be adapted for this preparation work.

However, Teng Shu plans to give it a try and integrate Pokémon into the old corpse in the mountain village.

Although the addition of Pokémon will make it more difficult to control the plot of horror films, after all, Pokémon has moves to deal with ghost-type Pokémon, but this time Teng Shu plans to try to make these evil spirits more invulnerable, that is, they can hurt Pokémon, but Pokémon cannot hurt them.

In this case, Teng Shu felt that the level of fear might be even higher.

After all, in the world of Pokémon, people don't have much fear of ghost-type Pokémon because they have the help of Pokémon.

But what if an enemy appeared that even Pokémon couldn't face? That would be a real fear.

When Teng Shu read the film reviews of "Dead Silence" and "Call Me If You Can", he found that people would mention a question when discussing the film, which is, if the protagonist holds a certain Pokémon, would everything be different?

There were even some secondary creations of Gengar beating up Mary Shaw, as well as secondary creations of Mimiko Mizunuma being influenced by Happiny.

Teng Shu realized at that time that for people in the Pokémon world, Pokémon is an unavoidable topic, just like every Corean cannot avoid three stars.

"In that case, how about a scene where Chu Renmei angrily tears the Happy Egg apart?" Teng Shu fell into deep thought. He felt that this idea was not impossible.

It would be better to add a few more scenes where the supporting characters try to resist with Pokémon and then find it useless, to further enhance the sense of fear and establish a more terrifying image of the evil spirits.
