Pokémon's Lord of Fear

Chapter 399: Psychologist's Evaluation

The result was unexpectedly good. The actor who had played the Joker before performed very well this time. After reading the script, he kept quiet for several days and even closed the door. When he came out again, not only Nolan, but even Teng Shu, who saw a clip of his acting, directly decided that he would play the Joker.

It's so crazy, as if he's going to pull out a knife and stab you in the next second.

After solving the casting problem of "Batman: The Dark Knight", the entire film entered the shooting stage in full swing. The cost of making this film is very high. After all, this film has a lot of high-tech shots, so these things need to be included.

Moreover, the luxury car driven by Batman also needs to be specially customized, of course, it is his Batmobile. As for other sports cars and so on, Teng Shu paid for them himself. After all, Teng Shu's family may not have much other things, but there are a lot of sports cars.

After renting out the sports car, "Into the Dark" was released.

"Friends on the tree, friends under the tree, hello everyone, I am Chou Kai. Today I have grabbed the premiere of "Alien Dimension" as scheduled, and now it's time for us to watch the movie." In the cinema, Chou Kai sat in the VIP lounge, smiling and waving at the camera.

[Did Chou Kai really go to see it? 】

[I am more curious about what kind of evaluation Chou Kai will give at that time, but can Chou Kai really understand this kind of professional film? ]

[I think Ugly is probably only suitable for watching those anchor-type movies. If it is a very professional movie, it may not be suitable]

"But this time the filming is about the story of a psychologist and his patient, so I specially invited a friend." The ugly camera was pointed to the side, and then a gentle and easy-going man appeared on it. He looked at the camera and waved with a smile. His handsome face, mature age, and good taste in clothes made him a husband who attracted a lot of fans in the live broadcast room.

[Eh? Isn't this the director of the psychology department at our city's No. 1 hospital? ]

[It’s true! It’s super hard to get an appointment at a specialist clinic]

[It’s better to be ugly than to be ugly]

However, many people in the live broadcast room recognized the true identity of this psychologist. Looking at the screen full of comments, although others felt a little confused, they also knew that this should be considered a sure thing. The next step is to see how the comments will be given.

Although Chou Kai is indeed an ordinary person who doesn't understand anything about psychology, the person invited this time is an insider in the industry, which makes everyone look forward to it.

Most professional films are OK if they can fool the audience, but they are so accurate in portraying insiders that it makes people feel embarrassed to watch them. There are even some professional films that can't even fool the audience, such as having a doctor without relevant professional qualifications deliver a baby at the earthquake site.

There are also various male protagonists who only care about showing off and completely ignore the setting of the movie, which makes people's scalp tingle.

"Although I don't understand much about psychology, I can still solve it with the help of this friend. This friend is an expert in mental illness in the municipal hospital." Chou Kai introduced enthusiastically. After all, not everyone knows who this man is.

"So Jack, do you think psychology is easy to film in movies?" Chou Kai asked his friends curiously. After hearing this, Jack thought about it for a while.

"Actually, I personally think this aspect is quite boring." Jack said shockingly, and a series of barrages flashed across the live broadcast room, but Chou Kai was not in a hurry. He could see that his friend had not finished speaking yet.

"I say it's boring because, when we psychologists are conducting treatment, it's not like everyone thinks that we can hypnotize people by taking out a pocket watch. This is a very difficult thing to do most of the time." Jack briefly stated his thoughts and gained the approval of many people.

The movie had just started, so Chou Kai left a message in the live broadcast room saying "See you later, brothers," then turned off the live broadcast and went into the cinema with Jack to watch the movie.

After the movie was over, Chou Kai opened the live broadcast room again.

[Here I come, brothers, why aren't you sleeping so late? ]

[The ugly expression is wrong, his face is all white, isn't this a psychological occupational film? ]

[Stop talking, Jack next to him is all white, I would have thought he was out filming a movie]

".Jack, putting aside Director Teng Shu's usual ability to scare people, what do you think of ahem, this movie..." Chou Kai tried to say something, but his tone became increasingly stiff and terrified.

The camera moved away, and at the entrance of the cinema, there was a woman in white clothes lying there, trying to stand up with twisted movements.

"Ahhh!" The live broadcast room was closed after a scream. For a moment, everyone present was confused, and some even suspected that Chou Kai and Jack were already dead.

Fortunately, after a while, Chou Kai posted a photo. In the photo, he was making a V sign, and next to him was a girl who was also making a V sign while covering her face.

[I just realized that this was an Easter egg arranged by the theater. Director Teng Shu, thank you so much! ]

The first comment below is also ugly and sticky.

[My good friend Jack said that this movie is very professional in psychology]

It also puts an end to the question of what "Into the Dark" is like.

Another Dimension also attracted the attention of some psychology professionals. After these people came in, netizens found that the film reviews on the Internet became strange.

"Boss! A psychology professor has written a film review for us!" Zoroark ran in hurriedly. After hearing this, Teng Shu took it and took a look curiously.

["Inner Dimension": A new interpretation of "ghost" movies from a psychological perspective] [Hey, all movie fans and psychology enthusiasts! Today we are going to talk about "Inner Dimension", a movie directed by Teng Shu. From a psychological perspective, it really has a unique flavor.]

[Of course, in the beginning, I didn’t have high expectations for Director Teng Shu’s film. After all, psychology is a misinterpreted subject, so I was also worried that there were many hidden dangers in this film that would lead to stereotypes among people (laughs)]

[In the eyes of many people, "Inner Dimension" may be just an ordinary horror film, but in the eyes of people who understand psychology, it is simply a "treasure film" of psychological knowledge. At least it does not use psychology to talk about the supernatural, but can really be used to explain the subject. The "ghosts" in the film do not appear out of thin air, but are the subconsciousness of the characters deep inside. ]

[For example, the various hallucinations in the male protagonist Azan's life are actually a manifestation of subconscious repression. His inner trauma, such as the guilt of being abandoned by his girlfriend, is like a bomb buried deep in his heart, which "explodes" from time to time through hallucinations. This is like what Freud said about "subconscious repression". Those emotions that are unwilling to face can only emerge in this peculiar way in the end. ]

[Of course, all of my analysis is based on the fact that this film directed by Teng Shu is based on psychology. If evil spirits really do exist, then it is not a problem that can be solved by psychology.]

[As for the heroine Zhang Xin, her various strange behaviors and hallucinations are due to the psychological trauma caused by her parents' divorce in her childhood. Her loneliness and helplessness continue to ferment in her subconscious mind and turn into the fear of "seeing ghosts". ]

[Looking at the psychological treatment process in the film, Azan helps Zhang Xin face her inner pain, which is actually healing herself. This is in line with the idea of ​​"trauma-focused therapy" in psychology, which guides people to face up to trauma and get out of the shadow. ]

[This movie is like a psychological adventure, it uses horror to cover up the deep exploration of the inner self. It tells us that the so-called "ghosts" are often the parts of our own hearts that we dare not face. So, don't be scared by the "ghosts" in horror movies in the future, maybe it's just the little "devil" in our own hearts messing with us! ]

"This professor's style is quite peculiar." Teng Shu was a little surprised. He really didn't expect the professor's film reviews to be so interesting. He had previously thought that it would be an old scholar wearing glasses talking about his research, but he didn't expect it to be in this style. This is quite interesting.

"Yes, this professor is a famous figure and has even been on a show." Zoroark introduced him to Teng Shu with a smile. Teng Shu looked at the professor's attire and found it quite interesting. Although he was old, his clothes were very mature and stylish, and quite handsome.

Considering his identity as a psychology professor, Teng Shu wanted to ask him if he could behave like a human being.

"How much was the box office of Another Dimension?" Teng Shu thought of something and asked Zoroark. Zoroark reported it without any hesitation. The box office on the first day exceeded 1.4 billion, which was a pretty good number. Moreover, with the appearance of these film reviews, it is foreseeable that more and more people will come to see it.

Of course, these increased numbers may all be students majoring in psychology.

[Watch a movie, and then write a paper related to "Alternative Dimension"] may become the new homework for these students. Teng Shu is still very happy, but the upper limit of Alternative Dimension is here. If you want to make too many breakthroughs, this is still very difficult.

This reminded Teng Shu of the movie "Dying to Survive" that he had thought of before. Although this movie is very interesting, it will be very difficult to shoot. After all, some situations in "Dying to Survive" do not exist in the Pokémon League. Although there are some difficult-to-cure diseases here, it is still very difficult to adapt it.

Then it will be difficult to achieve a big breakthrough at the box office.

Teng Shu originally had no obsession with the box office, but he suddenly discovered that the highest single movie box office in the history of Pokémon movies was a main theme movie of the Alliance, with a box office of a staggering 7.2 billion, an outrageous number.

But it has not yet exceeded 10 billion, and the 7.2 billion alone has become an insurmountable monument.

"If we want to break this box office revenue figure, we need to raise the price of movie tickets on the one hand, and on the other hand we also need to ensure that enough people go to see the movies." Teng Shu scratched his head. He wanted to try to break the 10 billion box office, but it was too difficult.

In his previous life, the highest box office, in Teng Shu's memory, was from the fantasy movie "Avatar 2". Although this movie was hailed as a bad movie by many people, but because of the base box office of 1, the number of viewers of this movie was actually still very large. Coupled with the pricing issue, the box office of this movie directly reached billion US dollars, which is equivalent to about billion.

That's a staggering number.

And now Teng Shu also wants to try to see if he can make a movie with a box office of 10 billion yuan. If he can, then he will be destined to become an inevitable figure in the film and television industry.

Teng Shu used to not understand why some people cared so much about leaving their names in history, but later he found out.

From ancient times to the present, so many people have been born and died, but how many people can be remembered? This is a great honor, after all, people will die.

"It's too difficult." Teng Shu shook his head. It was too difficult to break 10 billion. Now the movie ticket prices of the alliance were very stable. It would be difficult to increase it further, unless it was a blockbuster. There would be some possibility. And if you want the audience to watch it, there must be enough reasons.

Not everyone likes to watch movies.

This is human nature.

Some people just don't like watching movies and don't want to spend money on them, so how to expand the fan base is also a problem that directors and companies are worried about. Most people choose young and handsome actors with high traffic to gain their fans through these young and handsome actors.

But for Teng Shu, he wanted more.

"Boss, Mr. Gengar and the others are still filming. Should we go over and take a look?" Zoroark was getting a little impatient.

This is how a film company is. It is very busy when there are filming tasks, but it is also a bit free when there are no filming tasks. What's more, Zoroark is Teng Shu's secretary.

"Geng Gui?" Teng Shu thought for a moment, thought of the little moon next to Gengar, and nodded. He really wanted to go and see this little moon to see if the script of "Witch Carrie" was suitable for this Pokémon.

There are some big stars in Pokémon, and even Gardevoir is a star, but Gardevoir became a star because of Kaluni. Thinking of Kaluni, Teng Shu had an idea. He took out his mobile phone, sent a message to Kaluni, and soon received a reply.

"Let's go, pick someone up first, and then go to the set." Teng Shu smiled, hoping that Xiaoyue would like the surprise he prepared.
