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 scary scenes in the middle made Lao Hei a little distracted. He had prepared to attack Teng Shu with the title "A movie world without Pokémon" to make Teng Shu suffer a loss, but who knew that Pokémon appeared in this "Mountain Village Old Corpse", 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 that Pokémon appeared, Lao Hei found that he couldn't find much to criticize for a while. After all, if it is just a horror movie, "Mountain Village Old Corpse" 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]
