Pokémon's Lord of Fear

Chapter 227 Dam's Salary Issue

"Well, I don't remember much. I only remember a very high cliff and a small lake." Zoroark said with a look of reminiscence. Teng Shu scratched his head. Such information was almost nothing. No, to be precise, there was nothing.

Cliffs and lakes don't have any particularly obvious landmarks, and the Xicui era has been so long ago that the world has changed dramatically. The original cliffs may have turned into plains, and the former lakes may have become mountains.

The magnificent power of time is enough to erase all memories in this world.

However, Teng Shu still planned to ask Shirona to see if Shirona knew something about Zoroark.

Although Zoroark was often out of line, looking at his appearance, Teng Shu felt that he could still trust him. After all, if it was a joke, then the joke would last too long.

But if what Zoroark said is true.
Then ghost Pokémon may become a taboo in the Pokémon world. After all, no one wants to turn into a ghost Pokémon after death and then be captured to become someone else's Pokémon.

However, Teng Shu had read the research of those Pokémon doctors and found that ghost Pokémon did not have any memories of their previous lives. To a certain extent, ghost Pokémon had no direct connection with dead people or Pokémon.

But what's going on with Zoroark?
Teng Shu couldn't figure it out.

After letting Zoroark go down to handle the affairs of the variety show, Teng Shu sent a message to Shirona, asking Shirona to help him inquire whether she had investigated some things that had been recorded in the Xicui area, and whether there was any mention of people turning into Zoroark after death, or revenge or Shizuka.

Shirona also said "OK" very straightforwardly, but Teng Shu naturally wouldn't let Shirona work for nothing, so he promised to give Shirona a fine-quality figurine of Sherlock Holmes.

The Sherlock Holmes figures have now become a hot IP, with linkages and co-brandings everywhere. As for the figures, Teng Shu authorized a professional figure factory. The figures they produce are of the best quality, and there are no evil god figures.

The price will vary depending on the size and the richness of details. The most expensive figure costs as much as 76 yuan. It is a life-size figure of Sherlock Holmes with Watson next to it.

After dealing with the company's affairs, Teng Shu had nothing to do in the afternoon. Thinking of this, Teng Shu left the company. He planned to go home and write the script.

Because he has to film a variety show and screen actors, Teng Shu now has plenty of time to write scripts.

Teng Shu has already thought of the plot for the second season, and is just waiting to insert a funny reasoning by Huang Heihe as a spice. As for this episode, Teng Shu plans to put it in as the second episode of the second season, but that does not mean that Teng Shu will cancel one of the episodes.

He plans to split the second episode into four parts, and all subsequent Sherlock Holmes series should maintain a number of four episodes per season, with a fixed episode of funny reasoning to ease the atmosphere and soothe the audience's nerves to a certain extent.

"By the way, there is also the issue of Damm's contract." Teng Shu thought of something.

Dam, a nobody at first, was an extra in the entertainment industry. At the age of 30, he was still an extra. He might have been unknown and left the entertainment industry completely to find a job to support his family. However, he was spotted by Teng Shu and chosen to be the male lead in Sherlock Holmes, and he became an instant hit.

But the actor has a grateful heart.

So he chose to become an actor under Teng Shu and the third superstar under Ghost Pictures. As for the first two?
Of course it is Tom and Jerry. These two are more well-known than Dam. After all, they can be watched by people of all ages, and children especially like to watch them. Now the IP income of Tom and Jerry has become a major income in the finances of Ghost Pictures. Before the first year was over, it created more than 10 billion in net income for Teng Shu.

After all, Teng Shu only needs authorization, and the rest of the expenses are borne by those linked and co-branded merchants. Teng Shu does not have to do anything, and can be said to make money without doing anything.

But I don't know what this guy Dam is thinking. This time, the salary he asked for for the second season contract is very low.

Thinking of this, Teng Shu carried Xiao Q to a fruit tea shop and ordered four cups of fruit tea, one of which he took away.

Then Teng Shu called Damu, and soon, Damu hurried to the fruit tea shop. The other party was near the company during this period. After all, the second part was being filmed, and he, as the male lead, definitely could not leave.

"Boss." Dam's eyes were filled with deep respect.

"Dam, here, this is for you." Teng Shu handed Dam a cup of fruit tea with a smile. Then, without hesitation, he talked to Dam directly about the contract.

Although Damu asked for a very low salary, Teng Shu would not give him such a low salary as his TV series had no shortage of investment.

So Teng Shu directly raised the salary in the contract to what Damu deserved for his status. Damu wanted to refuse but couldn't, so he could only accept it with a wry smile.

"Boss, I really don't want that much." Dam looked at Teng Shu helplessly. He really didn't want that much, and he didn't deliberately want to please director Teng Shu.

Ever since Teng Shu took a fancy to him and chose him to be Sherlock Holmes, Dam became an overnight sensation. After signing the contract, Ghost Pictures also arranged some commercial advertisements for him. Now Dam is no longer the cash-strapped Dam.

"I know, but you should get a salary that matches your status. Otherwise, no one will dare to sign a contract with our company in the future." Teng Shu explained.

Although Dam wanted to repay the favor, Teng Shu could not agree to such a thing. If others saw it, they might think that Ghost Pictures was exploiting its employees. Teng Shu was very clear about his current reputation, so he did not want others to have this misunderstanding.

After most people know a piece of news, they rarely pay attention to the follow-up, which will definitely have an impact on Ghost Pictures, so this is why Teng Shu disagrees.

"Thank you, boss." Dam said gratefully. Teng Shu waved his hand. After saying goodbye to Dam, Teng Shu went home with the fruit tea.

Xiao Q has finished drinking, but Fugui hasn't yet. After all, he is still doing test papers at home. The terrible internal competition of Fugui now reminds Teng Shu of himself when he was in the third year of high school.

　I had something to do yesterday, so I took a day off.
