Pokémon's Lord of Fear

Chapter 216 Sherlock Holmes Season

Teng Shu was a little confused. He didn't know this film critic, Lao Hei, so what did his loss of followers have to do with him? But after clicking in to take a look, Teng Shu realized that the reason why the other party lost followers was really related to him.

[Not suitable for minors] This bold and enlarged review caught Teng Shu's eye. Teng Shu's mouth twitched. His horror films were not recommended for minors to watch. What's the difference between this and taking a child to see Alien? Anyone with a normal brain knows that bloody horror films like Alien are not suitable for children to watch.

It would make the children cry and affect the viewing experience of other audiences. However, Teng Shu had never really considered this matter. After all, most of the audience were adults. Adults had their own judgment. They would not take their children to watch a horror movie, right? If they were teenagers, it would be fine. But for those who were six or seven years old, or four or five years old, it would just cause trouble.

Unexpectedly, this old black man would find another way to attack him from here. Teng Shu felt helpless. He had already seen that this old black man was just criticizing for the sake of criticizing. Teng Shu wanted to complain about these criticisms, but he had to admit that as a film critic, he did have some stuff.

Some of the points mentioned are indeed minor flaws in Teng Shu's films.

"Routine, template-based, no, you can tell after only making three movies?" Teng Shu felt a little helpless when looking at Lao Hei's film review, but there was not much problem with what the other party said. Basically, horror movies can be made by following a routine template, especially the haunted house type, which are almost the same in essence.

When you first watch European and American horror movies, you will feel that they are somewhat novel, but after watching them many times, this novelty will disappear. The reason is that they are very formulaic. Teng Shu feels that Hollywood blockbusters are almost all copied according to a template.

Movies about haunted houses often change the way the characters die, and the rest of the plot is basically the same. There is always a parent who doesn't believe in ghosts, the first child who sees a ghost, and a small animal that discovers the ghost but is scolded by its owner for screaming.

The appearance of James Wan has added some new routines to European and American horror films, but Wan's horror films have a strong East Asian flavor, which is to say that the East Asian horror film style was moved to Europe and the United States and adapted to local conditions.

"Forget it." Teng Shu put his phone down. He was too lazy to pay attention to this inexplicable film critic. Teng Shu knew very well that no matter how well his movies were made, it was impossible for everyone to like them. After all, people always have various hobbies. For a movie, five out of ten people might like it while five might hate it. It was impossible to make everyone like it.

The previous version of "Hello, Li Huanying", as a purely emotional film, could not be liked by everyone, let alone a horror film?
"I might as well write the plot." Teng Shu yawned, then curled up on the bed with his tablet computer. He planned to finish writing the plot of the second season of Sherlock Holmes today.

For the first plot, Teng Shu chose "That Woman". As one of the few cases in Sherlock Holmes's detective stories that could make Holmes suffer a setback, this case still has some status. Even in some adaptations, Irene and Holmes have some strange relationship, which is relatively normal. The abnormal one is the type where Watson changes his gender and then communicates with Holmes about life.

From the perspective of the original work, it is indeed a bit outrageous.

"The plot of the second and third episodes." Teng Shu scratched his head. How to write this?
"Maybe I don't need to be too obsessed with the original plot. Some hardcore reasoning is also fine, just like the classic Murder on the Orient Express." Teng Shu thought thoughtfully. Murder on the Orient Express, as a classic work of Agatha, has a high status in the circle of detective novel lovers.

Moreover, if this work is adapted, it is just suitable for the length of a movie. The Sherlock Holmes shot by Teng Shu is about an hour and a half per episode, which is a perfect fit for this. It can also add some details, such as Holmes took the train to solve a case, but encountered a case on the way. "Then the second episode will be Murder on the Orient Express, and the third episode..." Teng Shu thought of another very interesting work.

"The Case Files of Young Kindaichi" is an orthodox mystery manga from the island country. It originally competed with "Detective Conan" in the detective suspense track, but Conan was better in the end. However, compared with Conan, Kindaichi is a pure orthodox mystery work, and the proportion of reasoning is much larger than that of Conan.

Most of the character designs in the story are for the purpose of reasoning, so if it is purely from the perspective of reasoning, Teng Shu will only choose Kindaichi. As for the case to choose, Teng Shu immediately thought of the corpse trick - the Ijinkan Village murder case.

Multiple mutilated corpses were pieced together to form another corpse, allowing one person to survive and escape. This design was also borrowed in Young Justice Bao, and it is a very interesting case.

When he first watched it, Teng Shu was very surprised when he saw the moment the trick was revealed. However, there were also some plots in this story that made people complain. After thinking about it for a moment, Teng Shu decided to keep it.

The prisoner killed his girlfriend for revenge, and the prisoner himself was also very painful. The design of this plot can only be said to be controversial, but Teng Shu thought about it and decided to keep it. As for what the audience thinks, that is the audience's business, and this can also increase some topics.

"So, Holmes received a commission at Baker Street. The client asked him to investigate the legend of the mummy guarding their village. When Holmes went to investigate, he took the express train and encountered the Orient Express Murder Case. After solving it, he arrived in the village and then solved the Ijinkan Village Murder Case..."

"Among them, Sherlock Holmes discovered some of the existence of the Squid King, and in "That Woman" it was confirmed that there was a manipulator. In the Orient Express Murder Case, the identity of the Squid King was revealed, and in Ijinkan Village it was confirmed that the Squid King was involved in the design of most cases." Teng Shu nodded.

The plot design is almost done, so it is time to start designing and perfecting the script. At the same time, we need to start auditioning actors. Old actors like Dame do not need to be replaced, and the role of Irene.
Teng Shu took out his cell phone and sent a message to Kaluni. He had told Kaluni before that he would give her a role.

　Conan's early works still had some reasoning, but later on he seemed to become obsessed with big explosions, and the reasoning aspect weakened a bit.

　　Kindaichi can be considered a traditional mystery comic. From the perspective of reasoning alone, Kindaichi is indeed more pure.

　　However, in the competition between these two works, Conan is better.

　　If you are interested in mystery, you can check out The Kindaichi Case Files. Some of its spin-offs are quite good, such as The Criminal Case Files.
