Pokémon's Lord of Fear

“I knew Grandpa’s Rear Window would be popular, but I didn’t expect it to be so popular.” Teng Shu was a little surprised as he watched the discussions in the group.

This is a communication group for horror movie lovers, but the discussion about Rear Window is still in full swing, which shows how attractive this movie is. However, Teng Shu personally thinks that the old man's level is indeed very high.

Moreover, as Rear Window has been released for two months and is about to be taken off the screen, there have been more and more reviews of Rear Window. Teng Shu can easily find quite a few reviews by just scrolling through the movie. Basically, all the critics are discussing Rear Window, and the ones Teng Shu is more concerned about are the reviews from some veterans who have had some influence on the best films of the year.

[Rear Window, I am very happy to see that my old friend Director Kirk's first work after his comeback can be so successful.]

[Rear Window is a classic suspense film directed by Kirk. When he made his comeback, I was a little worried about whether my old friend would lose his reputation in his later years. But after watching the film, I no longer have this concern. After asking some friends, I personally think that You Can't Love Me can be regarded as one of Kirk's most successful works.]

[This film not only fully displays the theme of "voyeurism", but also explores the philosophy of human nature, love and life through clever narrative and camera language. ]

[The story of the film revolves around the injured photojournalist Jeffrey. Because of the injury while shooting a car race, Jeffrey had to rest at home. In boredom, he began to observe the lives of his neighbors in the apartment across the street through the window. This behavior gradually aroused his suspicion of his neighbors.]

[Jeffrey discovered that his neighbor Thorwald had unusual behavior at night and left in the rain several times carrying a large suitcase, which made him begin to suspect that Thorwald might have killed his wife and disposed of the body.]

[Kirk fully demonstrated his ability to create a suspenseful atmosphere in Rear Window. Through unique camera language, he brought the audience into Jeffrey's perspective, peeking into the lives of those neighbors who seemed ordinary but were full of mysteries. The clever use of long shots, close shots, medium shots, and long shots made the audience enjoy a visual feast while being immersed in a tense and exciting atmosphere.

In general, "Rear Window" is a very good masterpiece. Of course, in my opinion, the work of my friend still has some problems. For example, peeping is illegal, so these are some of the defects of Rear Window, which are irreparable defects. Of course, from a movie perspective, this is a very good work.

It not only allows us to experience the dual stimulation of voyeurism and suspense, but Kirk also shows us his unique film language and profound thinking ability through this film, and also proves that even if this old guy has not filmed for a long time, his skills are still excellent. 】

【It's great to see my old friend Kirk back in the film industry. 】

"Director Kirk is still so outstanding. Even this veteran has come out to speak for himself. Fortunately, the flaws of Rear Window are there. Unless it goes against the alliance, it will basically not win any awards." Teng Shu sighed as he looked at the film review on his phone. It has to be said that the writer of this film review is indeed an influential figure. He is a veteran in the film and television industry and has a wide network of contacts.

However, Teng Shu was not worried. Rear Window had this flaw and it would never win the Best Film of the Year. As long as there were no other better films this year, Teng Shu would definitely win the Best Picture.

"Boss, the filming of "The First Commandment" has been completed and the editing is now done. Do you want to take a look?" Zoroak walked in and said to Teng Shu. After hearing this, Teng Shu remembered that he was no longer the only one under the Ghost Pictures.

Other directors also began to shoot movies one after another under Teng Shu's arrangement. However, except for those who were already famous, other directors still had a long way to go if they wanted to reach Teng Shu's level.

"Let me see it." Upon hearing that the filming of The First Commandment was completed, Teng Shu did become interested. The First Commandment was originally planned to be filmed by Teng Shu himself, but Teng Shu was still very busy at that time, so Teng Shu handed the script and filming of The First Commandment to a director named Luoda under the company.

Then Teng Shu forgot about this. After all, he was busy filming Ju-Jin 2 and dealing with Tomie's affairs. Unexpectedly, after so many months, The First Commandment was also completed.

Zoroak handed the edited movie to Teng Shu, and Teng Shu simply watched it in the office.

As the movie opened, the first thing he saw was a sentence on a black screen.

[First Commandment: There are no ghosts in this world]

This was the beginning, and the meaning of the first commandment was stated directly. Teng Shu raised his eyebrows, but did not say anything, but watched patiently.

Zoroark on the side also sat down and watched the movie curiously.

Teng Shu glanced at Zoroark and said nothing. Instead, he held Xiao Q and let Xiao Ye out. They watched the movie with three Pokémon together.

The First Commandment is not particularly long, but after reading it, Teng Shu felt a little subtle.

After all, Teng Shu had seen the original film of The First Commandment, so he was very clear about some of the settings in the original plot, but the First Commandment filmed by Luo Da was different in every way.

So this makes Teng Shu feel very torn.

However, Roda's filming is really good, and it also incorporates a lot of Pokémon elements. It is even more terrifying when combined with the setting in the First Commandment that evil spirits can easily possess people.

".Lorda's idea is very good. Evil spirits can possess Pokémon and do evil." Teng Shu was still very satisfied. In his opinion, although "The First Commandment" was slightly different from the original film, it was closer to the worldview of Pokémon, and it would also be more effective for people in the Pokémon world.

In the original version of The First Commandment, evil spirits mainly possessed humans and played tricks on the family and friends of these bodies. However, after combining it with Teng Shu's script, Roda allowed these evil spirits to also possess Pokémon and use these Pokémon to play tricks on their trainers.

This would definitely not work in the previous life, at most it would become some strange pet plasma slices, but in the world of Pokémon it is very different, Teng Shu knows that the people in the Pokémon world have a very deep bond with their Pokémon, and these bonds make Pokémon occupy a very important position in people's hearts. If in the previous life, after the death of parents, life only has a place to go but no way back, then in the Pokémon world, at least there are Pokémon to accompany, and some Pokémon have a long lifespan, and a Pokémon can even accompany three generations, so Pokémon has a very high status in the hearts of people in this world.

Therefore, after Roda added that Pokémon was controlled by evil spirits and did those crazy things, the sense of horror was naturally stronger. What's more, there were some special horror films for those pet lovers in the previous life. In this world, such an idea is naturally very creative.

"Boss, which one should be released first, The Grudge 2 or The Grudge ?" After watching it, Zoroark just felt a little horrified, but not too scared. He just felt a sense of depression after watching The Grudge . The overall atmosphere was very desperate, and the ending was not a proper one where the protagonist defeated evil, but the protagonist was possessed by a ghost, which was outrageous.

"The Grudge 2." Teng Shu said without any hesitation. The popularity of The Grudge 2 is quite good now. The reason is that after the first movie was taken off the screen, Ghost Pictures burned it into discs and sold them, and also launched an online paid version, so they made a lot of money. At the same time, because the price of online previews is much cheaper than buying movie tickets directly, more people went to see the movie.

While the popularity of The Grudge 1 has not yet dissipated, it would be a good idea to launch The Grudge 2. What's more, The Grudge 2 was already filmed first, and The First Commandment was completed later. Even if we talk about the order of release, it would still be The Grudge 2.

So The Grudge 2 was sent for review.

Teng Shu was sitting in his office looking at the report. Zoroark and Kuroda had already calculated the cost of opening a hospital. Looking at the series of numbers above, Teng Shu admitted that he had underestimated the hospital's expenses.

"Although I know this thing is expensive, it still feels a little outrageous to me that it's so expensive." Teng Shu looked at the estimated 2 billion Alliance coins. Even Teng Shu himself felt that the cost was really not low. Even the price of the equipment was very outrageous. Teng Shu himself felt it was outrageous.

There are also employee expenses to be paid later, and the total amount of these expenses is not a small number. Of course, compared with Teng Shu's family assets, these are really just a drop in the bucket. It's just that Teng Shu himself does not intend to use Devon Company's funds to do these things. Once his old father finds out, he will definitely let him take over Devon Company.

Teng Shu has not yet cultivated Fugui. He will consider these things after he has cultivated Fugui.

"Twenty billion! This is just a preliminary estimate. If all these equipments are the best, then the price will continue to rise." Teng Shu was a little surprised. No wonder hospitals are not something that ordinary people can handle. Even Teng Shu himself can't handle it.

Considering the subsequent investments, it is unknown how long it will take for the hospital to make a profit. If we follow Teng Shu's idea to build an affordable hospital and pay doctors a salary corresponding to their level, the cost will increase further and it will take longer to get the money back.

But Teng Shu doesn't care about it. He is still making money easily now.

The Tom and Jerry IP alone brought Teng Shu nearly 4 billion in net profits a year, and Sherlock Holmes brought in 3.3 billion in profits. However, not all of this money can be used. Some of it has to be used to develop the company, some has to be used to maintain the company's daily operations, and some has to be used to pay employees' salaries, year-end bonuses and so on.

But it was no problem for Teng Shu to pay 2 billion out of his own pocket, so after thinking about it, Teng Shu signed and stamped the money solemnly, and then placed it on the table.

Charity still needs to be done.

The Zfuchi family is wealthy and powerful, and has become the leading company in the Pokémon League. It is prosperous and glorious, but behind this glory there are some problems. Although the Dewen Company is now the livelihood of tens of millions of workers, it is still very dangerous if the League is determined to clean it up.

So the old father said at the beginning that what the Zfuchi family wanted was not to continue to grow bigger and stronger and create greater glory, but to develop in a low-key manner, accumulate their own fame, and continue to increase the foundation of Dewen Company. This is the choice of smart people.

Teng Shu did not comment on this. He did not look like an emperor in this world. According to Teng Shu's thinking, the wealth he had now was enough for him to squander for the rest of his life, so Teng Shu naturally had no ambition. He just wanted to make some horror movies.

"Boss, I will instruct our subordinates to start pushing this matter forward." Zoroark looked at the document signed by Teng Shu on the table, his eyes became more solemn. This was a big move for such a big project.

Teng Shu nodded.

Seeing Zoroark busy himself, Teng Shu took out his cell phone and chatted with Shizuka for a while.

After the long phone call, Teng Shu yawned and left the office. There would be no problem in submitting Ju-Jou 2 for review. Once it passed, he could start arranging the trailer. However, the plot of Ju-Jou 2 was relatively subtle. Teng Shu planned to see how the market responded. If the box office was still good, he could then shoot Ju-Jou 3.

For Ju-Grudge 3, Teng Shu plans to shoot the movie version of Ju-Grudge 4, and then he can shoot Ju-Grudge later, which will almost complete the show.

Yes, strictly speaking, The Grudge actually has a final chapter, but because the subsequent installments were so famous, they kept coming out, more and more, until it became a terrible movie.

In Teng Shu's opinion, the final chapter of The Grudge is actually the movie version of The Grudge 2, in which Kayako reincarnates alone through the ghost queen who enters the show to film it and becomes a human again. Then, she pushes her mother off the overpass and leaves alone. In fact, this is the end of The Grudge. After all, Kayako has become a human and is enjoying her life again, so it can definitely be considered the end.

Teng Shu also has no plans to release subsequent works. Although some of the subsequent works of Ju-Grudge are up to standard, Teng Shu really feels that there is no need for them.

However, the unlucky people that Teng Shu saw when traveling to Kayako's world before could serve as good material.

"Let's put Ju-Jin 3 after Tomie. I wonder if it will affect Tomie's popularity after she finishes filming?" Teng Shu was a little curious about this question. After all, Tomie is now a top star in Ghost Park, and there are even many scouts who want her to debut. (End of this chapter)
