Pokémon's Lord of Fear

"Director Teng Shu has sent another new movie!" The film review department of the Hoenn Alliance was instantly in a panic, but soon, most people became calm, only a few people looked unhappy, including Kobayashi.

After hearing the news, Xiaolin rubbed his face silently.

He didn't know why, but he always seemed to have a strong affinity with director Teng Shu. After watching "The Grudge", Kobayashi didn't dare to stay at home for too long for a long time. He thought about selling the house, but the strong economic and life pressures made Kobayashi give up this decision.

It took some time for Xiaolin to adjust his state. He also worked normally at work. This kind of life made Xiaolin breathe a sigh of relief, but now, the nightmare came again.

"Oh." Kobayashi sighed. He glanced at his colleagues who were reviewing the movie today, and then saw two old acquaintances, the middle-aged colleague and the pale-faced actress.

Kobayashi smiled. It seemed that he and Director Teng Shu were not the only ones who had such a bad fate. His two colleagues also had the same fate. It was a deep bad fate.

"What's the name of the movie that Director Teng Shu sent today?" Kobayashi asked resignedly as he looked at his colleague who came in with the edited movie, but the colleague looked a little strange.

"It's called The Truman Show?" The colleague said with some surprise. Xiao Lin was stunned when he heard it. The Truman Show? This doesn't sound like a horror movie. After all, looking at the movies that Director Teng Shu shot before, horror movies all have very direct names, such as Dead Silence and A Call from a Ghost. You can tell it's a horror movie just by looking at the name.

But this time, it is called The Truman Show.

This made Xiao Lin a little confused, but no matter how confused he was, he still had to do his job, so Xiao Lin followed today's review team colleagues to the familiar screening room and sat down. Many of them drank water desperately. After all, if they drank too much water, they would want to go to the toilet. As long as they went to the toilet, they could avoid some scary shots. This was also a little trick they summed up by themselves.

"Hey, Xiaolin, we meet again." The middle-aged man sat next to Xiaolin with a sad face. He liked watching movies very much, except for the movies directed by Teng Shu. After all, watching the movies directed by Teng Shu was like being tortured.

"Brother Zhongluo, this is probably fate." Xiao Lin smiled, then lay down on the chair indifferently. He couldn't quit this job anyway, so what else could he do?
Life is like that. If you can't resist it, you can only enjoy it.

"I now have a psychological trauma from director Teng Shu's movies. After watching the Grudge last time, I stayed in a hotel for seven days straight after I went back. I had to hide in bed every day." Zhong Luo sighed, then picked up the teacup and took a sip to moisten his throat.

"Yes, that curse is too scary. I don't dare to walk up the stairs now, for fear that a Kayako will climb down the stairs." The female colleague next to him also said with a pale face. Kobayashi glanced at this colleague and was silent for a while. He now wanted to say that compared to Kayako, this female colleague's face was even more scary.

"But I don't think this Truman's World should be too scary, but I always feel like I've heard this pronunciation of Truman somewhere?" Zhong Luo was a little confused. Xiao Lin also thought about it after hearing it, and after thinking for a while, he couldn't remember anything.

At this moment, the screen in the theater dimmed and the movie soon began to play.

"We are tired of watching actors pretending, and we are tired of those special performances and Pokémon special effects." The movie had just started, and Xiaolin saw a man talking on TV, but he seemed to be sitting on the sofa. This made Xiaolin a little surprised. What is Director Teng Shu doing?
"Although Truman lives in a fake world, he himself is not fake." Looking at the man on TV, Xiao Lin was a little confused. He always felt that the man looked familiar, but he couldn't remember what it was.

But soon, Kobayashi realized that it was actually a reality show director who was speaking. Then, a man's face appeared on the TV, and the camera pulled away, revealing a familiar person.

"Gin Carrey?" Xiao Lin recognized the actor's identity instantly. After all, Xiao Lin had seen many of Gin Carrey's movies. That kind of comedy was a way for Xiao Lin to relieve his fear. Xiao Lin still liked this actor very much.

"Gin Carrey." Xiao Lin touched his chin. Could it be a comedy this time? But it's not certain. Last time, Gin Carrey also appeared in The Grudge.

But soon, the bright style of painting made Xiaolin realize that this was indeed not a horror film, and it was even more unique.

As the movie played, the theater gradually became quiet. Everyone watched the movie quietly, watching Truman gradually discover the strangeness of the world he lived in, then bravely try, but get scared back, and finally escape.

After the movie ended and the cast list started to appear, Xiaolin just sat there in a daze.

The entire screening room was very quiet.

"This...is not a horror movie." The girl spoke first, with some contemplation and complexity in her eyes. She had already prepared herself to be scared to death, but she didn't expect that Director Teng Shu would actually send her a feature film instead of a horror film. This movie was even deeper than she had imagined.

"I remember now, Truman, this is a special pronunciation of the League, which means real people, so the name of this movie is actually "The World of Real People"? This is really a clever idea!" Zhong Luo was also a little excited.

Kobayashi was also a little surprised. He thought about it and found that this was indeed what he meant. In this way, this movie has already highlighted its difference from the very beginning of its title.

The door was pushed open and several staff members poked their heads in. They were waiting to hear screams, but they didn't expect that after the movie was over, these people didn't scream at all. In fact, it was deathly quiet inside, which made them wonder if something had happened to their colleagues inside.

Unexpectedly, they were fine and were having a lively discussion.

"As for this movie, I can only say that I want to go to the cinema to watch it three more times." Xiao Lin was a little excited. When he watched it just now, he always wondered if it was a horror movie, so he didn't take The Truman Show very seriously. Now he felt that there were more details in this movie, details that he had not noticed.

"This filming location is in Kanaz City, right? I recognized it right away." Another staff member also said with a smile. "So, do you think we are all Trumans? We just live in front of an invisible director and publish our lives to others?" A female colleague asked. Hearing this question, everyone present fell silent.

No matter what other people think, in Kobayashi's heart, The Truman Show is one of the excellent movies that he currently thinks can be ranked in the top ten, and it is not impossible that it may even go further in the future.

Feeling regretful that they couldn't watch it again right away, Kobayashi and his team handed the film back to the staff of Ghost Pictures, who gave it their own rating so that it could be watched by people of all ages.

However, most ordinary children probably won’t go to watch it. After all, cartoons and special effects films are more attractive to children. However, this movie itself is not for children to watch. Children will probably be confused and unable to understand it after watching it.

"Boss, The Truman Show has passed the review." Zoroark came in and said this to Teng Shu. Teng Shu nodded after hearing this. This was within his expectations. The Truman Show was the award-winning film he had carefully prepared. He originally planned to choose Manchester, but the moment he saw Silver Carrey, Teng Shu felt that there was no better choice than The Truman Show.

He is currently writing a script for a commercial film, but considering some of the characteristics of superhero movies, Teng Shu feels that it would be more appropriate to start promoting it with comics.

Or if the comics and movies develop simultaneously, the effect would be better.

"Zoroak, how are you doing with the acquisition of the comic company that I asked you to pay attention to before?" Teng Shu looked at Zoroak and asked. Since he planned to promote the commercial film, Teng Shu started to make plans. Since he planned to make superheroes, of course he had to follow up with superhero comics.

"Boss, there are currently three comics companies in the Hoenn region. One is the "Shonen Comics" which is distributed throughout the alliance, the other is the "Hoenn Comics" which is relatively famous in the entire Hoenn region, and the last one is the "Youth Comics" published by a comics company in Shuijing City." Zoroark handed over a report.

Teng Shu took a look.

Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.

Among the three comic companies, the boys' comics that are available throughout the alliance are naturally the best choice. After all, the boys' comics are available throughout the alliance and have a large number of readers. However, Teng Shu feels it is a pity that he cannot acquire it. This comic is the industry of the alliance and cannot be acquired directly.

"Since I can't acquire it, I might as well buy a small comic book company first, and then train some cartoonists and let them help me draw." Teng Shu had some ideas in his mind. In his mind, the best thing was boys' comics, but others simply didn't sell them to the outside world, so Teng Shu could only settle for the second best.

"Talk to Hoenn Comics and acquire their company." Teng Shu decided to go with Hoenn Comics. Although youth comics are smaller in size, they mainly promote girls' comics and are not very suitable for superhero themes.

So Hoenn comics is a very good choice.

"Okay, boss." Zoroark nodded and recorded the matter. Although Hoenn Comics is also a good company, if Devon wants to acquire it, then it is naturally possible. Moreover, according to the analysis report given by Devon, this company can indeed be acquired.

Teng Shu waved his hand and Zoroark left, while Teng Shu continued to busy himself writing the script this time.

There are too many scripts related to Batman. After all, Batman himself is quite popular. The only thing that Teng Shu is struggling with is which one to adopt. After all, this is the first time that a movie like Batman has appeared on the market. Teng Shu attaches great importance to this. It is very important to be able to have a good start.

"The Dark Knight as the opening trilogy?" Teng Shu seemed to be thinking about it, but he was still a little hesitant about whether to use this movie as the beginning. But after thinking about it, Teng Shu decided to use the Dark Knight as the opening movie of Batman, hoping to gain recognition in the alliance region with this unique movie.

"Batman: The Dark Knight" is undoubtedly an excellent movie, and the characters in it are all very well portrayed, but what is relatively talked about is the villain Joker played by Heath Ledger, making this Joker image a classic among Jokers. Of course, some previous Jokers also performed very well.

However, it is undeniable that Heath Ledger did play the role very successfully, so Heath Ledger's version of the Joker has become a choice for many people to COS.

The battle of wits and courage between the Joker and Batman also laid a solid foundation for the success of The Dark Knight, so Teng Shu decided to shoot this unique movie, letting this movie bring Batman and the DC universe into this world, but Teng Shu himself did not plan to shoot it. He had a lot of filming work and was as productive as a donkey in a production team. Now it's time for him to relax.

When the movie has attracted the audience's attention, we will launch the Hoenn comics, and we can also take the opportunity to change the name, so that Hoenn comics can go to the entire alliance and further expand the market.

"But such an excellent film requires an excellent director." Teng Shu scratched his head. He originally planned to hand it over to the directors in the company, but there are not many directors in the company now, and there are only one famous directors among the directors who were poached, and that one is famous for shooting current idol dramas. Teng Shu looked at the previous work report and found that the other party was preparing to shoot a movie like "The Domineering Champion Falls in Love with Me" during this period.

Although it is profitable, it is obviously not feasible to hand over the Dark Knight to the other party.

Thinking of this, Teng Shu searched the Internet to see if there was any director who was more suitable for this style, and he actually found one for him.

Ruolan.

Although the name sounds a bit gentle, this director actually has a very personal shooting style. His film style is bold and he is good at narrative. After watching the director's films, Teng Shu decided to let him shoot.

However, the prerequisite is to let the other party join his company. After all, such a superhero movie generally means strong follow-up development. Joining his own company can avoid some disputes in the future, and Teng Shu can also feel more at ease. (End of this chapter)
