Pokémon's Lord of Fear

Chapter 220 A cute and charming villain!

Although Teng Shu has created a variety show with tens of thousands of people participating, he has no intention of hosting the show. He will only attend the finals as a special judge and select the main actors for the second season of Sherlock Holmes.

"Boss, you really aren't going to be a judge? This is a show you came up with." Zoroark looked at Teng Shu in shock. Teng Shu glanced at Zoroark and shook his head.

"Frankly speaking, I don't really have much interest in being a judge or anything like that." Teng Shu signed his name on the document in front of him. With the expansion of Ghost Pictures' IP, there are more and more cooperation applications, and according to Teng Shu's requirements, these applications need to be reviewed by him.

Otherwise, some very strange linkages are likely to occur.

Just like the one in Teng Shu’s hand now.

The famous small umbrella brand in the Pokémon world wants to collaborate with Sherlock Holmes to produce a small umbrella that cannot be "pushed" apart. Teng Shu is very confused and can only say that these people have an idea, but this idea is not acceptable.

"I can reluctantly accept any advertising sponsorship." Teng Shu threw the documents in his hand into the shredder. Although the other party often did some underworld collaborations, considering the popularity of his company's IP and brand image, Teng Shu still gave up this contract with a fairly good pay.

"What about the issue of recruiting actors for Sherlock Holmes?" Zoroark asked Teng Shu. Teng Shu was only a special guest, so what if the finalists did not meet Teng Shu's requirements? Zoroark knew very well how picky his boss was.

"Of course I'm going to watch TV." Teng Shu looked at Zoroark strangely. What was this guy thinking? Although he didn't plan to be a judge, he could watch TV.

Teng Shu is naturally very concerned about the casting of actors. It does not mean that if an actor has good acting skills, then he is very suitable for the role. Sometimes the actor's temperament, the first impression he gives, etc., will also affect whether the actor can be selected.

Just like some people give people a natural feeling of being very bad and dangerous, so they are naturally most suitable for villain roles.

Some people look very decent, but it would be very difficult for them to compete for villain roles. The comfort zone of actors has always existed, but it would be very difficult for actors in their comfort zone to get out of it. For example, those who played the protagonists in anti-Japanese dramas in their previous lives, and have been playing those types of roles, suddenly have to play villains in the next one, and the audience may not buy it.

When Teng Shu selects the actor for Sherlock Holmes, he also has to see if the actor fits the role that Teng Shu has in mind. If not, Teng Shu himself will not choose the actor, but he will also let the actor play some supporting roles.

Zoroark stuck out his tongue and ran out. Teng Shu didn't pay much attention to it, but picked up his phone and took a look.

His cell phone vibrated just now. Teng Shu opened it and saw that it was a message from Mr. Sakaki. The other party congratulated him on the preparations for the filming of the second season of Sherlock Holmes. He also asked Teng Shu if he had a role so that he could coordinate his schedule.

Seeing this, Teng Shu hesitated for a second.

Logically speaking, Moriarty did not appear in this episode. After all, as the ultimate villain, Moriarty has a very special status. It would not be convenient to shape his character if he appeared too early. And once he appeared and was killed, it would become a problem what to do next.

In "Sherlock Holmes", Moriarty left behind a lot of back-ups after his death, giving people a feeling that "the screenwriter ran out of plot to write, so he just used Moriarty."

He even created a genius sister, whose intelligence was so high that she was completely incomprehensible. She played Holmes and his brother around in the midst of conversation and laughter, which was very confusing.

So Teng Shu originally didn't plan to let Sakaki play the role.

"But." Teng Shu tapped his fingers on the table. He was thinking about a question. If Xiaozhi started traveling, would Sakaki's identity be exposed? If so, then Teng Shu's request to invite him to film would naturally be impossible.

At that time, the role of Moriarty can only be replaced. Although Moriarty in the first season was made up and his true identity was not explained, the replacement will still have some impact. Dumbledore, the headmaster in Harry Potter, was replaced by another actor, which was also noticed by the sharp-eyed audience.

"Forget it, let's just finish filming Sakaki's story first, but then we need to make up Sakaki's story." Teng Shu pinched his brows and decided to finish filming Sakaki's part before Sakaki's identity was revealed.

In this way, when the future Sakaki is exposed, Teng Shu will not care anymore, and he can even use this opportunity to gain some popularity.

Just think about it, by then the top trending search will be [The true identity of the Rockets boss is revealed, and it turns out to be him? ]

Then the second most popular search is [The last work of the Rocket Team boss in the film and television industry]. Isn't this gimmick directly maxed out? Then design a few horror plots and directly squeeze a lot of fear from the audience. Isn't it wonderful?

So Teng Shu replied to Sakaki.

[Mr. Sakaki, I have some of your stories. I think it's too troublesome to disturb you from time to time, so I want to shoot all of your stories at once. Do you have time? ]

Sakaki's reply was also quick.

[Yes, I just need to apply for leave. ]

Seeing Sakaki's news, Teng Shu's heart also fell back, but he was also a little curious, why did Sakaki have such a special liking for acting? He even preferred to act during his vacation time. Could it be that he had some ideas about the Hoenn region and came here to develop the market?

But which dark organization would let the boss develop the market himself? Wouldn’t he have to send a few younger brothers over first?
"I don't understand." Teng Shu shook his head, but Sakaki basically didn't have much free time during filming, so there shouldn't be any big problems.

Just as Teng Shu was thinking this, he accidentally flipped over several lists of actors, the ones who were eliminated.

After all, other people came to sign up and submitted various resumes. Although they were eliminated, Zoroark still collected them. As a result, Teng Shu happened to see them.

Then Teng Shu saw three familiar faces.

Meow, Musashi, Kojiro.

"Isn't the cute and charming villain here?" Teng Shu suddenly got an inspiration.

He planned to make things more difficult for the Squid King, giving it an extra opponent, and at the same time cool down the serious reasoning.

　Last night I had an argument with my neighbor until three in the morning because he didn't sleep at all that night and kept the door open and blew the flue loudly, which kept me awake.

　　I tried to talk to him nicely, but it was no use. In the end, he couldn't stand it anymore and started to scold him.
