Pokémon's Lord of Fear

Chapter 215 Aesthetic fatigue
"The box office for the premiere exceeded 100 million." When Teng Shu got up the next day, he saw the message on his mobile phone. He yawned and put the phone away.

It was not unexpected for Teng Shu that the box office of "Old Corpse in the Mountain Village" could exceed 100 million. After all, the movies that Teng Shu had filmed since his debut were all excellent, without a single bad one, which also accumulated some reputation.

Word of mouth is something that is extremely difficult to accumulate, but once accumulated, it is priceless.

Teng Shu attaches great importance to word of mouth, so he tries his best and strives for perfection during filming. This is also the reason why Teng Shu's movies basically make over 100 million yuan at the box office once they are released.

The audience all believed that Teng Shu would not make a bad movie, so they were naturally willing to spend money to watch movies in the cinema.

Teng Shu stood up, then glanced at Xiao Q who was sleeping beside him, smiled and rubbed Xiao Q's head, but when his eyes fell on the other side, Teng Shu's expression became a little subtle.

Fugui is still working on the test paper.

I've been working all night, or maybe Fugui got up too early and didn't even notice the fact that he was rolling?
What kind of scroll king is this?

"Fugui, did you have a good rest?" Teng Shu couldn't hold it anymore. He leaned over and asked softly. At the same time, his eyes fell on Fugui's test paper. It was very difficult to understand.

The above is an economics question, but Teng Shu couldn't understand how to answer it. However, Fugui wrote it very smoothly. Teng Shu smacked his lips, and he suddenly understood why some parents were unable to teach their children academically.

It’s not that I don’t want to, but I can’t.

If you take out a fifth-grade math problem now, Teng Shu may not be able to answer it. He cannot even solve a linear equation with two variables. After graduating from college, he returned all this knowledge to the teacher and forgot it completely.

There was a "gurgling" sound, and Fugui nodded. However, when Fugui raised his head, Teng Shu seemed to see dark circles under his eyes. Teng Shu subconsciously rubbed his eyes, and the dark circles disappeared.

But think about it, how could a Pokémon like Fugui, which has ghost and steel attributes, have dark circles under its eyes?

"Let's count the days." Teng Shu thought for a while. It was only a few days away from the start of the entrance examination for Hoenn Union University. Fugui must be under a lot of pressure right now.

The only problem is how to make Fugui relax. Teng Shu remembers that if a Pokémon like Saifuhao wants to relax, the general choice is to swim in the sea of ​​gold coins.

This is the best way for the wealthy to relax, but the price of relaxation is too high. Most people cannot afford it. But for Teng Shu, this problem is not a problem. Teng Shu walked out of his bedroom and said something to the old butler Shibata, and the old butler went to arrange a gold coin swimming pool.

While eating the breakfast carefully prepared by the old housekeeper - soy milk and fried dough sticks, Teng Shu was also thinking about the development of the company.

Soy milk and fried dough sticks were made by Teng Shurang, and it was also the breakfast that Teng Shu would eat from time to time. However, the old housekeeper made it more meticulously, and the materials used were all first-class ingredients, and the taste was very good.

As for the company's development, Teng Shu took another factor into consideration.

"Aesthetic fatigue." Teng Shu narrowed his eyes.

Horror movies, horror movies, most of the horror movies basically have a routine template, or the ways of scaring are somewhat similar. The sudden shot of the face jumping combined with scary music is the most basic way of scaring.

Dead Silence, Ghost Call, and The Corpse in the Mountain Village, three horror films, established Teng Shu's position as a great director in the field of horror films.

However, Teng Shu noticed the hidden dangers here. People will get tired of the aesthetics, just like the special movies of the island country. If you watch them every day, you will get bored and want to vomit. It may be okay at the beginning, but if you watch too much, you will really find it boring.

Teng Shu felt that he might need to make some other kinds of movies to relieve this aesthetic fatigue and avoid becoming a director who only knows how to make horror movies. Teng Shu didn't want to be labeled like this.

This is also the reason why Teng Shu wanted to shoot Sherlock Holmes, which is to give the audience a change of taste, so that the audience will be interested in the next horror film.

[Fear value: 23100 points]

The fear value of the old corpse in the mountain village also popped up. Teng Shu took a look and found that there was no prompt to obtain new skills, so he ignored it. If he couldn't obtain new skills, then this thing would not be of much significance to Teng Shu.

Teng Shu only cares about whether he can get some new stuff.

I guess it’s because the fear value is not enough.

"The next horror film I'm going to shoot is 'Inner Dimension', but I don't know what work to choose as the transitional film in between." Teng Shu was a little hesitant.

A second Sherlock Holmes movie? That's possible. After all, the first Sherlock Holmes movie caused a sensation in the detective circle, and the ratings also soared, which made Teng Shu earn a lot of money. It also directly made 221b Baker Street a real place name.

If we shoot the second part, there will be no problem in just continuing the popularity of the first part.

It won't be a big problem if it becomes popular again at that time, and it can continue to increase the popularity of the Sherlock Holmes IP. Teng Shu thought about it and decided to make this TV series to give the audience a change of taste.

"What a pity. I originally planned to release Harry Potter to test the waters." Teng Shu pinched his brows. He thought of the luxurious castle he had bought before, which he had originally planned to use for filming Harry Potter.

As for the popularity of Harry Potter, Teng Shu is not particularly worried. Previously in "Tom and Jerry", Teng Shu introduced Merlin, Jerry's second cousin, and at the same time pointed out the concept of magic and buried the Hogwarts Easter eggs. The audience also showed great curiosity about magic.

The popularity of magic shows in the Pokémon world has also increased. Teng Shu feels that the launch of Harry Potter will not fail. Based on the current situation, it will even be a success.

However, the world view and plot of Harry Potter is too large, and it takes a lot of effort to transform it to be closer to the Pokémon world.

"There are three plots in the second season...that woman must be there, and then..." Teng Shu was thinking about what the plot of the second season of Sherlock Holmes should be like while eating.

However, the Squid King is about to appear in this season. Teng Shu plans to let Holmes deal with the Squid King first, and at the same time lay the groundwork that there is someone behind the Squid King, in preparation for bringing out the final BOSS Moriarty.

Just at this moment, Teng Shu's cell phone vibrated, and Teng Shu picked it up and took a look.

【The famous film critic Lao Hei’s loss of fans is actually related to Teng Shu? !】

"what?"
