Pokémon's Lord of Fear

"Boss! The box office of Buried Alive has exceeded 1.5 billion!" Zoroark said excitedly while holding his mobile phone, which scared Teng Shu so much that he almost dropped the speaker in his hand. However, after hearing what Zoroark said, Teng Shu admitted that he was still a little surprised. After all, only one day had passed, and the box office had increased so quickly?

"Fifteen billion?" Teng Shu called out a click, then looked at Zoroark and asked. Now the filming of Alien is still progressing steadily, and there are no setbacks for the time being. The overall filming progress is very smooth. The only thing that gives Teng Shu a headache is Pikachu.

This little guy seemed to have liberated his nature, and performed too wildly, so much so that he almost bit the actors several times. Teng Shu had no choice but to ask the trainer to persuade his Pokémon. After all, although Pikachu had turned into Alien Pikachu, he couldn't really bite.

You have to know that it is very troublesome when a creature like Pokémon bites people. There may be some special diseases, or the wound may become infected. Anyway, the Alliance invests a certain amount of medical resources every year to deal with Pokémon bites, and also emphasizes the need for quick treatment after being bitten by Pokémon.

After all, no one knows whether this biting Pokémon carries some diseases, such as rabies, which makes many people in the league shudder. This extremely special disease still exists even in the Pokémon world, and it is also extremely lethal.

"Yes! And the estimated box office revenue may exceed 3 billion!" Zoroark was very excited. He handed the phone to Teng Shu. Teng Shu took it and took a look. It said [Buried Alive box office exceeds 1.5 billion, rising rapidly! Teng Shu issued the most severe question to the traditional film industry! ] Such a title made Teng Shu's eyelids twitch.

【After the news broke that Buried used a new technology that could bring audiences a super experience far beyond VR, the already very popular Buried once again created the highest single-day box office! Almost every show was sold out! The Alliance's Lucky Tiger used subversive technology to make the entire film industry tremble.】

"Oh, no, what is the Alliance's Lucky Tiger? What kind of a name is that?" Teng Shu was a little unhappy. Although he knew that some of the Alliance's self-media liked to use some strange names, what is the Alliance's Lucky Tiger? This reminded Teng Shu of some old movies he had watched before.

There was once a movie that was popular for an era, that era called Young and Dangerous, and it made countless people crazy. Some of the characters in Young and Dangerous had some strange names, such as Ben Lei Hu, Lei Yao Yang, and so on, and of course there was also Xia Shan Hu Wu Ya who became an emoticon package.

"Boss, this media is famous for this kind of weird name. You see, their last issue of the newspaper talked about a big guy named Musk, and named that guy the Internet's absolute fierce dragon." Zoroark said seriously, Teng Shu rolled his eyes, this was really interesting.

However, after reading some of the previous reports of this media, Teng Shu felt relieved. After all, there was no need to be angry with such people. The reason why this media can be remembered by the audience is because of these strange names. But when he thought of his name being the Alliance's Lucky Tiger, Teng Shu felt uncomfortable all over, as if he was sprinkled with itching powder.

"Forget it, but I find it a bit unexpected that they even hired a professional prediction team." Teng Shu shook his head and stopped dwelling on the strange name. Instead, he read the predictions in the article. After reading it, Teng Shu was a little surprised.

Although the name of this media is strange, at least the data is very professional. They hired professional data testers, and after testing, they found that with today's box office trend, the final total box office of "Buried Alive" may exceed 3 billion, which is an extremely astonishing number in the world of Pokémon.

You know, this is a horror movie, and it has an expected box office of 3 billion. It can only be said that Teng Shu’s high-tech professional equipment has attracted a lot of popularity. People are very curious about what kind of effect this high-tech equipment developed using the latest technology of the alliance has?

Therefore, many people who were not very interested in the theme of burial alive also chose to buy tickets and go to the cinema to watch Teng Shu's burial alive. Moreover, as the reports spread in the future, the number of people who come to watch the film may increase.

Therefore, 3 billion may not be the final box office figure. As the coverage gradually expands, the box office may break new records.

"Boss, you are really going to go down in film history this time!" Zoroark was very excited, and at this time other staff members had already known the news, and a lot of people came up to celebrate with Teng Shu. Teng Shu was a little bit amused, but he was still very excited in his heart. After all, such a high box office meant a huge number of viewers.

By then, there will probably be more people watching the movie. How delicious and tasty will these people contribute? Thinking of this, Teng Shu was a little excited. After all, he still owed the system some fear value this time. He just didn't know if the fear value could break through 200,000 this time. If it could break through, he could continue to draw the lottery once. Now the fear value lottery has become 50,000 each time. He didn't know what the next movie would be.

"Alright, alright. I know everyone is very excited. Let's take a day off today, and then I'll give everyone red envelopes." Teng Shu looked at the noisy crowd in front of him and clapped his hands helplessly. With the situation now, it was probably impossible to take pictures. And with such reports appearing, Teng Shu could foresee that those cooperation phones would be flooded with calls again.

If a niche suspense and horror film can earn such a huge box office, then what about the most popular genre in the Pokémon world? How huge will the market be?

Teng Shu suddenly felt that he was surrounded by a large number of red-eye patients, who looked at him eagerly, eager to take away the treasure pot that could make them rich from him.
treasure bowl?
Teng Shu paused for a moment, and he remembered something. The lucky cat has a treasure bowl in its hand, so is this the main reason why it is called the lucky tiger?

"What a hassle." While wrapping the red envelope, Teng Shu silently turned off his phone. He didn't plan to use this phone number anymore. A lot of people came to him, which was very troublesome. He might as well use the excuse of filming a movie and stay in seclusion for a while.

Although doing so may have some problems, such as causing some people to be impatient and come to the door, but at least Teng Shu will not need to answer the phone for a short period of time. Teng Shu feels that he probably needs to prepare two numbers, one for work and the other for contacting family and friends.

"Zoroak, go get me a cell phone number." Teng Shu pinched his brows. Although he didn't need to reply to most people, he still needed to reply to some acquaintances. Some people were more troublesome, such as the leading film companies in various regions of the alliance. It would be a bit unkind not to reply to these people.

So Teng Shu resigned himself to his fate and picked up his phone, then started choosing messages to reply to.

The adult world is always full of such helplessness.

"Okay, boss." Zoroark looked at Teng Shu with some sympathy. He felt that being a boss like a rich man was not so good. At least he earned a lot of money now and had free time, while the boss had to spend his free time on work every day.

Fortunately, after Teng Shu had explained the conditions required for this technology, most of the bosses of leading companies expressed their understanding. After all, although Teng Shu's possession of Groudon was a secret in the Pokémon League, such a secret also depended on the person, and it was not a secret to some senior executives. So after knowing that Teng Shu's new technology required Teng Shu to charge it at any time, these people naturally gave up. After all, they didn't want to take the blame for causing the loss of control of the mythical beast. Most of the people who were still pestering Teng Shu were not qualified to know some inside information, so Teng Shu didn't want to reply to these guys' messages, but in order to avoid problems in future cooperation, Teng Shu still sent a message to the group, which was considered a reply.

Time kept passing as Teng Shu was filming Alien and the media was following the box office of Buried Alive every day.

Soon, Teng Shu finished filming the entire Alien movie. Seeing the Alien Pikachu and the Alien being beaten into outer space and sucked away by the heroine, Teng Shu excitedly shouted "click".

"It's finally finished!" Teng Shu rubbed his hands excitedly. He had waited for this day for too long.

"Boss, are we going to prepare for the wrap-up party?" Zoroark rubbed his eyes and asked sleepily.

"Get ready." Teng Shu was also a little tired. The filming of Alien took much longer than Teng Shu had thought. Originally, Teng Shu thought that with the help of Zoroark and other special effects Pokémon, the filming of Alien should be faster, but when the time came, Teng Shu found that there were always some problems when shooting a movie.

Pikachu's true nature was exposed, and Zoroark once thought that there was no need to cast an illusion on Pikachu, as Pikachu was already very scary in this state. However, in the helpless gaze of Pikachu's trainer, Teng Shu still let Zoroark cast an illusion on Pikachu, and then silently deleted the scene of Pikachu's treasure design collapsing.

By the time the Pikachu problem was solved, there were problems with the props, or there were NGs due to various reasons, so it took three months to finish filming this Alien.

"The box office of Buried Alive finally reached 3.7 billion?" Teng Shu stretched lazily. Alien was now finished filming, and Buried Alive also ended its screening during this period. Of course, it was only an official end. Although it was no longer shown to the public, Buried Alive was also selected for some film awards.

In the end, the total box office of Buried Alive was set at 3.7 billion, a number that exceeded Teng Shu's expectations and also exceeded the expectations of many filmmakers. This number is already very high. After all, some people are always reluctant to watch horror movies.

However, Teng Shu's fear value did not exceed 142312, and finally fixed at . Teng Shu thought that it might be because people who watched the movie repeatedly could not contribute a higher fear value.

"Being buried alive cannot be considered a pure horror film after all." Teng Shu was very calm. Although the feeling of suffocation and despair brought by being buried alive was very realistic, it was not unacceptable. Compared with orthodox horror films, it was still a little lacking.

Alien is relatively better. At least this unique style of sci-fi horror film can bring a more novel experience to the audience.

But in Teng Shu's opinion, bloody horror movies are still a little lacking in flavor. The best ones are ghost movies like Oriental ones, which can stimulate the audience's nerves to the greatest extent.

"Next one. The Grudge." Teng Shu touched his chin. He had already thought about what the next movie would be.

The Grudge is a movie that has received some peculiar reviews. Some people think that The Grudge has achieved the pinnacle of a horror movie and is purely scary. And it has to be said that The Grudge is indeed very scary. If the top ten horror movies were selected in the previous life, The Grudge would definitely be on the list.

Some people think that The Grudge is designed to scare people for the sake of scaring them, with no logic at all, and is a failure among horror films.

However, it must be said that The Grudge did, in a sense, reach a peak in horror films, so much so that a large number of subsequent works were released, and even many years later, they would be rehashed from time to time.

Teng Shu felt that if The Grudge was released, it would probably scare a large number of people to death. If it weren't for the master-level camera language that came with a feature that would allow the audience to erase all the discomfort caused by watching the movie after watching it, Teng Shu would not have released a work like The Grudge now.

"But now we still need to finish editing Alien and then quickly submit it for the competition." Teng Shu stood up. He didn't plan to shoot The Grudge for the time being because he still had to deal with the award selection issue for Buried Alive.

"Let me take a look at the Hoenn Golden Apple Award and the Pokémon League Movie of the Year Award. Even though there are only two, it's not bad." Teng Shu looked at the invitation text message in his hand and rubbed his hands excitedly.

Although he has been a director for some time, Teng Shu has never judged for any awards. This is also Teng Shu's first time.

And this time there is a Pokémon League Annual Award, this selection is still very valuable. If he can win the Best Director Award, then Teng Shu can basically shut up the haters.

Unfortunately, Teng Shu feels that his chances of winning the Best Director award this time are slim.

After all, Teng Shu was not yet a master of camera language before, and in terms of the expression of camera language, "Buried Alive" by Teng Shu still lacks something.

Now when shooting again, Teng Shu has confidence. (End of this chapter)
