Pokémon's Lord of Fear

Chapter 404 Teng Shu: What? Sadako is a boy?
After acquiring two new skills, Teng Shu started filming his own "Ghost". This movie is quite good and very scary, but Teng Shu took into consideration that the audience's fear level has been getting lower and lower during this period, so he decided to hold back the filming for a while. In fact, holding back the filming is a routine operation for movies.

Some movies hold back on filming in order to avoid competing with popular movies. They want to find a time slot with fewer competitors and during prime time. Of course, such time is rare. Most of the time, popular movies are concentrated in one time period and then fight each other until they are bloody.

The most classic ones are the National Day and Spring Festival periods. These two periods were filled to the brim in the past. Basically, most of the famous movies would be released at these times. The next period is the summer and winter vacations, or some holidays, when some blockbusters would also be released.

In addition, although there are movies released every month, the fame and popularity of these movies are not the same. Sometimes, theaters will even choose to show some old movies in order to ensure profits.

After all, for a cinema, the money spent by customers watching movies and buying movie tickets is part of the income, but it is not the bulk. The main source of income for a cinema is the income from popcorn and cola. A cup of cola outside may only cost three dollars, but a cinema can make a lot of money by selling a themed popcorn. Therefore, cinema managers often prefer to have someone come to the cinema to watch a movie alone rather than have others buy tickets but not come.

However, Teng Shu did not have any concerns in this regard. After all, although Teng Shu was a director, he was not a movie theater person, so Teng Shu only cared about the box office and the audience's evaluation.

So, the filming of "Ghost" began.

Kaluni's scenes were the first to be filmed. Although there were a few cuts in the middle, overall, the filming was very fast. It only took five days to finish filming all of Kaluni's scenes. Kaluni even had some regrets. After all, Kaluni still wanted to try filming again.

"Would you like to stay and take a look?" Teng Shu said to Kaluni with a smile. Kaluni had taken out seven days this time, and only five days had been used so far, so Kaluni could still stay for two more days.

"No, it's a rare opportunity. I plan to go meet my friends and have some fun at the same time." Kaluni immediately shook her head. It was very difficult for her to apply for such rest time. Teng Shu could understand Kaluni's feelings, so he let Kaluni leave.

After Kaluni left, Teng Shu continued to shoot ghost movies. When he finished shooting, more than a month had passed. In the end, "Into the Dark" still did not break through the box office too high, and the fear value remained at 390,000. This made Teng Shu feel a little regretful, but it also strengthened Teng Shu's idea of ​​raising a group of leeks.

"Then it's time to go traveling." Teng Shu straightened his clothes and rubbed his hands excitedly. He planned to travel in the world of "The Grudge", or to collect materials. After all, Teng Shu wanted to see how Sadako's horror story would spread in modern society. You have to know that there is no habit of watching videotapes in the Pokémon world now. If you don't immerse yourself enough, then Sadako's horror will be greatly reduced.

"Scared!" Little Q was a little excited. It seemed that it understood what Teng Shu meant. Teng Shu smiled and touched Little Q's head. Then he took Xiao Ye to sit at home and wait. He was waiting for Fugui to come. Fugui was busy dealing with comics before.

With the emergence of Batman and Superman, two heroes with different powers but both very handsome and fighting against crime, the market share of boys' comics has expanded rapidly. Coupled with Teng Shu's support and the huge funds of Devon Company, boys' comics are now basically spread to every corner of the league.

Although not everyone has seen it, there are indeed many fans. The "Batman Special Edition" previously sold was limited to 30,000 copies, and each copy was priced at 19,998. This number is definitely not small, but it still sold out very quickly.

Even after applying with Teng Shu, the comics team launched a "Batman Ultimate Deluxe Edition" for three million dollars. The only benefit from this sale price was the opportunity to participate in the filming of the first "Batman" movie. It was actually sold and was bought by a wealthy businessman.

The other party's only requirement was to participate in the filming of Batman. After asking Teng Shu's opinion, Nolan arranged a role for the other party, the mayor. After all, the other party also paid five million. Although it was not much in the total investment of Batman, five million for a character who did not show up too many times, this deal was still too good to be true.

"These people are really rich." Thinking of the boys' comics, Teng Shu's expression was a little strange. Not only did he know this, he also knew that after the news of this incident was exposed, there were fans who wanted to directly invest 100 million yuan and then play the role of Superman.

However, Teng Shu has no intention of agreeing yet. After all, Superman is a very special character. He can be said to be the top combat force in the Justice League. For such an existence, the character creation must be perfect. Moreover, Superman is originally set as a god on earth. Teng Shu has not added other settings. After all, there are all kinds of parallel universes in American comics, and even settings like zombie Superman.

All I can say is that the bigger the screenwriter's imagination is, the stronger these characters are.

"@#@$!" A strange sound was heard, and then Fugui walked in directly. When he saw Teng Shu, he showed a sunny smile. Teng Shu also smiled and touched Fugui's head.

"Thank you for your hard work." Teng Shu looked at Fugui with satisfaction. Fugui was a good Pokémon. Not only was he strong, but he was also very capable. Now he could help him with work. With Fugui's help, Teng Shu had more confidence in his future plans of enjoying life by slacking off.

"Hoo~" Little Q called out lazily, as a greeting to Fugui. Fugui was still very respectful to Little Q. It could be seen that Fugui was a kind person, and he had some good Pokémon that he insisted on having. Teng Shu was still very happy.

After saying goodbye to the old housekeeper and sending text messages to his brother and father, Teng Shu directly used the movie world ticket and chose to go to the world where Kayako was. He didn't know whether he could finish watching Sadako's murder process in seven days.

As a familiar feeling came, when he opened his eyes again, Teng Shu had arrived in the familiar world before, but at this moment the Cursed House seemed more deserted, and Kayako and Toshio were very happy to see Teng Shu.

"Captain! That man! The man who appeared more than a year ago!" On the opposite side of the House of the Grudge, two surveillance personnel were watching here. After noticing Teng Shu's appearance, one of them patted his captain's shoulder anxiously.

"I saw it, don't be so excited." The captain took out his cell phone tremblingly.

This man finally showed up!
Because of this man, the Governor of Tokyo thought that there might be some changes in the House of the Grudge. During this period, there were at least a hundred people feeding it.

As a result, all the people who went in died, so they continued to maintain the previous vigilance, but unexpectedly, this man appeared again.

Soon, a group of people in black came here. At the same time, nearby residents received a warning of a gas leak and temporarily left their homes and went to live in a hotel.

"These people are much faster." Teng Shu stood in Kayako's room on the second floor, watching the busy black-clad men outside with a smile on his face. However, this was indeed what Teng Shu wanted to see. After all, if he could get help from other forces in seven days, he could find Sadako quickly. And based on Kayako's situation, Teng Shu suspected that Sadako's videotape was also blocked.

"Do you want me to kill them?" Kayako looked at the people outside with some impatience. After returning here, she felt a little restless and only felt better when she stood next to Teng Shu.

"No, I need their help with something." Teng Shu came out with Little Q, but he was holding Little Q in his arms.

When Teng Shu left the house, these people all looked at him. When Teng Shu came out of the courtyard, someone hurried up and greeted Teng Shu very respectfully.

"I need your help with something. Do you know Sadako?" Teng Shu asked directly. The other party looked a little strange, but nodded. Teng Shu also knew their identities.

Tokyo Paranormal Control Bureau.

"Sadako was born in 1947 in Chagiji, Izu Oshima Island. She is the daughter of psychic researcher Heihachiro Ikuma and psychic user Shizuko Yamamura. She inherited her mother's psychic powers such as mind control since she was a child. She could manifest her name with her mind at the age of 10, but she suffers from 'egg feminization syndrome.'" In an elegant room, a staff member was introducing Sadako's situation to Teng Shu.

Teng Shu only knew Sadako's story, but he was not very clear about the specific circumstances.

"What is egg feminization syndrome?" Teng Shu was a little curious about this question. After all, he was not really clear about it, although it sounded a little strange.

"Mr. Teng Shu, it is a situation where the biological sex is male but the external characteristics are female." The staff explained enthusiastically, and Teng Shu's mouth twitched, so Sadako is actually a.
what..
How should this be calculated? Anyway, she is definitely not a woman, so Sadako is actually a man?
I don’t know what those people in their previous life who planned to marry Sadako on TV would think if they knew about this.

"Sadako's mother committed suicide because her superpowers were suspected to be fake. In order to control Sadako's abilities, Sadako's father imprisoned her and injected her with drugs to inhibit her growth." The staff continued to explain.

"In the end, Sadako was raped and killed by Nagao, a smallpox virus carrier. Her body was thrown into the ancient well of the sanatorium, which eventually led to the creation of a supernatural item called the cursed videotape. Anyone who has watched the contents will receive a call and die seven days later. The only way to crack the problem now..." The staff member hesitated when he said this.

"The only way to crack it is to burn it and show it to other people, and then transfer the curse to yourself." The previous minister came in and began to explain. Teng Shu nodded. This was similar to what Teng Shu knew.

However, these are not what Teng Shu wants to know now. After all, although these contents have some additional details on Sadako's life experience and origin, Teng Shu has not forgotten that he came here to collect materials.

"Well, I want to ask, when was Sadako's murder record in recent times?" Teng Shu asked the staff in front of him.

".A week ago." It was the minister who answered again. Teng Shu was a little surprised. A week ago?
It's not easy to play videotapes nowadays, but considering that Japanese people still have the habit of watching discs, it seems possible that some people like to collect and watch videotapes.

"Then why didn't you deal with it?" Teng Shu touched Xiao Q's head, and Xiao Q rubbed happily in Teng Shu's arms.

"Because we can't handle it, if we keep Sadako's videotape, it will suddenly disappear and then randomly appear in other places." The minister was a little helpless.

"And now Sadako's abilities have also been acquired. She can spread his curse through discs and online videos." The minister emphasized. Teng Shu raised his eyebrows. It seemed that these people had determined that Sadako was a man.

However, I didn't expect that Sadako's ability had evolved. This is quite interesting. After all, if we can only rely on videotapes, Sadako's horror level will be greatly reduced.

"How do you deal with online videos? You will see them before processing them, right?" Teng Shu asked curiously.

"In fact, three of us handle it at the same time, because as long as you don't watch it in its entirety, you won't be cursed. So when one person clicks to watch it and is attracted by a problem, the other two will execute the program to delete the video." The minister was very patient and let Teng Shu know some of the things he wanted to know.

Teng Shu touched his chin. If that was the case, then it was quite interesting. Online videos were something that everyone was probably browsing nowadays.

And according to the other party, this is also attractive. As long as you read the beginning, you will be easily attracted and then finish watching it in its entirety.

Even without this setting, there are idiots who like to challenge themselves and deliberately watch the video.

"Can I take a look?" Teng Shu was very interested. This was Sadako. Teng Shu wanted to see her specific appearance so that he could do her makeup when filming the movie later.

"Of course you can, but Mr. Teng Shu..." The minister was a little hesitant this time.
