Pokémon's Lord of Fear

Chapter 34: A special Pokémon movie?

"Boss! I found something missing in our company!" Just when Teng Shu was busy preparing the plot outline of "Ghost Call", there was a knock on his office door, and then a man who looked a little crazy walked in and spoke seriously.

Teng Shu looked at the man in front of him. He was wearing a set of Pokémon clothes. He had a shirt with Psyduck printed on it, a coat with Porygon printed on it, a Latias and a Latios on the left and right of his pants, and the shoes on his feet had a cartoon image of Arcanine on them.

He looks like an avid Pokémon fan, but such people are not uncommon in the Pokémon world. The Pokémon Fan Association is almost full of such people.

"What's wrong?" Teng Shu asked. He didn't remember the other person's name, or he didn't even know there was such a person.

This film company is very large, and Teng Shu can only remember the names of some of the management staff, but in his impression, this person does not seem to be among the company's management.

"Boss! Our company's movies are so popular, why don't we make them for Pokémon?" the man said excitedly, with a bright smile like a sunny boy who got the Gudian Knife and Jiusha first.

Teng Shu blinked. What the hell?
At first, Teng Shu thought that this man came in to talk to him about equal rights for Pokémon. After all, there are always some people fighting for various rights for Pokémon, and there are even special organizations. Some of them are like the Black Lives Matter movements in his previous life, but they are more normal and reasonable.

But I didn't expect that this man would actually tell me to take the photo for Pokémon to see?
"Boss, look, what is the most abundant thing in this world? Pokémon! If we make a special version of the movie Dead Silence, specially filmed for Pokémons, wouldn't it be possible?" The man became more and more excited as he spoke, and his shoulders were shaking.

"Boss, I'm sorry! I'll take him away right now!" Fawu rushed over anxiously with sweat all over his forehead, covered the man's mouth, and kept bowing and apologizing to Teng Shu.

Teng Shu slowly typed a question mark in his mind.

So, what is the situation now?
"Is this person an employee of our company?" Teng Shu couldn't help but ask as he looked at the man who was struggling with his mouth covered.

He always felt that there seemed to be something wrong with this man's mental state, and he seemed particularly excited.

"Yes, Ada is an employee of our company. He is a special employee." Fawu wiped the sweat from his head and said respectfully, while the man called Ada was still trying to say something.

"A special employee." Teng Shu understood. No wonder this man seemed a little weird.

The so-called special employees are actually a social security benefit requirement set by the alliance.

It is required that each enterprise can recruit a certain number of special employees according to the size of the enterprise. These employees are generally composed of people with physical disabilities or low-income households with extremely low family income. Of course, there are also some mentally disabled employees who have some mental problems but whose lives and work are not affected.

Companies do not recruit these employees out of charity.

According to the alliance's regulations, if there are special employees, the company will have certain welfare and benefits policies, such as being able to pay less tax and so on. The companies that recruit the most employees and have the longest working hours will receive the [Alliance Conscientious Enterprise Award] from the alliance, and these companies will also receive publicity.

In essence, it is a social security contract, which gives those who have not completely lost their ability to work a chance to be self-reliant. Teng Shu personally likes this policy. "It's okay, it's okay, let go of my hand, I want to hear him continue talking." Teng Shu smiled and said to Fawu.

Fawu was stunned for a moment, but since it was the boss's request, he let go of his saliva-stained hands, then put his hands behind his back and wiped his palms with a tissue.

"We can definitely become famous! The Pokémon movie exclusively for Pokémon will definitely be a hit!" Ada shouted excitedly. His voice was a little sharp, and Teng Shu noticed that his body was shaking faster while he was speaking.

Teng Shu understood what the man meant.

Dead Silence is a horror film, a horror film that Teng Shu carefully prepared and dedicated to the world.

However, in order to make the horror of dead silence deeply rooted in people's hearts, Teng Shu also abandoned the ghost Pokémon setting of traditional horror movies, and instead turned it into Mary Shaw, the evil spirit that kills people.

But now after listening to what Ada said, Teng Shu was thinking, if he made a Pokémon version of "Dead Silence", would there be a market for it?
First of all, if we compare the number of Pokémon and humans, there is no doubt that Pokémon are the most numerous. However, the problem is that most of the Pokémon are wild Pokémon, and only a few are captured. How many of these Pokémon are capable of watching movies?
"Boss, you don't have to pay attention to what Ada said." Fawu looked at Teng Shu who was in deep thought and spoke.

"Has there been a case before?" Teng Shu naturally understood what Fawu meant by this sentence.

Ada on the side was a little indignant. He was eager to speak, but under Fawu's gaze, Ada closed his mouth unwillingly.

"Yes, in fact, special Pokémon movies have been made for Pokémon. This has been attempted before by film companies in Kanto, Sinnoh, and Unova, but the results were mediocre." Fawu said, he didn't want to see his boss being cheated by this guy Ada.

The idea of ​​making a Pokémon movie starring Pokémon has existed before, but everyone who entered this industry has died.

Although there are many Pokémon and trainers have even more Pokémon, very few of these Pokémon can understand movies and are willing to watch them. Most of them are special individuals such as psychic Pokémon.

They are intelligent, so they can understand what is in these movies. Although ordinary Pokémon are also very smart, there is still a big gap between them and the level of Psychic Pokémon.

“Previously filmed movies like ‘Lucario: The Journey’ and ‘Becoming the Strongest: Rada’ are both big-budget movies, but their box office…” Fawu shook his head.

"The final box office of 'Lucario' was 1,327,156 yuan." Ada said dully. His tone now was very depressed, with a kind of emo feeling.

Teng Shu glanced at Ada. He had just checked and found that the number was exactly the same as what Ada said.

"Yes, but that movie cost at least 50 million Alliance coins." Fawu also admitted this.
