Pokémon's Lord of Fear

Chapter 88: Dead Box Office Revenue and Profit Sharing
"Here is a letter." The old butler looked serious. Teng Shu was a little confused. Letter?
It’s not that Teng Shu has any problem with letters, but letters are a little old to him.

In his previous life, Teng Shu had pen pals for a while, and he received letters at that time, but later, after he gave up the pen pal business, he no longer received any letters. After all, the popularity of telephones and the Internet made letters less important.

[Zifuchi, your family must pay the price for what you have done]

As soon as he opened the letter sent to him, Teng Shu saw some very explosive remarks. He frowned slightly. Was this a threatening letter? And it was sent directly to his home?
This is really interesting.

[Lord Dragon God will not forgive you, the star of punishment will destroy Dewen Company]

"That's all?" Teng Shu raised his eyebrows. There was not much content in the letter. It only went up to this point and then ended there, but Teng Shu had already remembered it.

Based on the words "Lord Dragon God" and "Star of Punishment" above, Teng Shu can infer that this letter came from the People of Meteor, and it was most likely written by Xijiana.

After all, in the Hoenn region, the only one who can be recognized as the Dragon God is Rayquaza, and the only people who believe in Rayquaza are the people of the Meteor.

"Threatening letter?" Daigo also saw the letter now, and his expression became serious.

How could someone actually write a letter to threaten their family?
"This letter" the old father also saw it. His eyes were dazed for a moment, and then became ugly. Teng Shu knew that the old father should have thought of the origin of this letter. After all, the old father had captured Rayquaza and might have offended the Meteor People at that time.

The old father and Daigo left in a hurry. They were going to deal with this matter. Teng Shu was not very anxious. It was just a threatening letter. Although Shijiana's strength was not bad, it was definitely not enough to compare with Daigo.

Moreover, Teng Shu also has his own trump card. He used the Fear Cube to attract two fighting forces, one is the overlord Gengar, and the other is Giratina, the resident of the world of destruction.

By then, even if Xijiana comes to cause trouble, Teng Shu can handle it by himself, so he is not very worried. You know, Xiao Q is a Pokémon with ghost and fairy attributes. The noble fairy attributes can beat dragon Pokémon to tears, and there is also a rich man.

However, the appearance of the threatening letter also means that this world may be entering a new plot. At least the disaster of the meteor is foreseeable, but I don't know whether the other two ancient beasts, Groudon and Kyogre, will come out to cause trouble.

"Is this considered the main quest?" A strange thought flashed through Teng Shu's mind.

By the next day, life was still very peaceful. The old father went to work as usual, and the elder brother left home and returned to the league to handle the affairs of the league. Teng Shu heard from Daigo that the champion of the neighboring region, Shirona, would come to visit Hoenn today, so he needed to come forward to entertain her.

It was as if yesterday's threatening letter had never happened.

"Boss, good morning. Your schedule today is to do editing work at the company, and then donate to the Wandering Pokémon Charity Organization in the afternoon." As soon as I walked out of the house, Zoroark came over quickly, holding a schedule in his hand, and talked to Teng Shu as he walked. "Well, have you calculated how much you can donate this time?" Teng Shu stretched, then stretched out his hand and poked the face of Xiao Q in his arms, and asked at the same time.

Teng Shu had promised that for every movie ticket sold for the movie "Dead Silence", he would donate one dollar to the Stray Pokémon Charity Organization.

"According to your original promise, we need to donate 45.45 million." Zoroark read out a long string of numbers.

"Just donate 45.5 million directly." Teng Shu pinched his brows and interrupted Zoroark. Although he did say to donate one dollar for every movie ticket, a few tens of thousands more would not be a big problem.

It would be better to just round it up to an even number, which would also allow the company to have a good reputation. It is hard to say what good things will happen in the future because of this matter.

"Okay." Zoroark also wrote this down. Now the company has received its share of the income. Although the share ratio is a little higher because of the support of Dewen Company, other miscellaneous expenses still need to be deducted. In the end, out of the total box office revenue of 1.5 billion, Teng Shu can only get a little over 600 million.

The theaters took away 50% of the box office revenue, but fortunately the filming cost of "Dead Silence" was very low, so the profit earned was very high. This is also the fundamental reason why horror movies are enduring, that is, the production cost is low, it is easy to recoup the investment, and if you are lucky and the box office is booming, then you can make a lot of money.

You should know that the production cost of Dead Silence is only 12 million, and with the publicity and promotion it won't be too high, but it made Teng Shu so much money. Even if he took out 500 million out of the 600 million to invest in the Pokémon Environmental Maintenance and Improvement Department, Teng Shu would not lose money. When If You Call Me is released, another sum of film remuneration will be paid to him.

When he arrived at Ghost Pictures, Teng Shu found that all the employees in the company were already there, but the busiest department was the company's customer service department, who were constantly answering the phone.

Other departments are relatively idle, after all, they have no filming tasks now.

"People from the post-production department, come here." Teng Shu clapped his hands, and instantly the boss's greetings of good morning were heard in the company. Then the head of the post-production department hurried over to Teng Shu.

Teng Shu also talked about today's editing work with the head of the post-production department. Although he was mainly in charge of the editing of "Call of the Ghost", his workload would be reduced if these employees were involved. Otherwise, it would take a lot of time just to edit a complete movie.

But even so, Teng Shu still has a lot of work to do. He needs to make sure that the ghost call meets his expectations, so Teng Shu himself knows that he will probably have to stay in the company every day in the next few days.

"I hope that this time I can bring a brand new horror experience to the people of this world." Teng Shu rubbed his hands excitedly. In his opinion, the fright level of a ghost call is higher than that of dead silence. Combined with the special element of a mobile phone, the fright level can be said to be maximized.

After all, in today's world, almost everyone has a mobile phone, and ghost calls have become closely related to everyone. Who knows if you will receive a call from the future?
