Pokémon's Lord of Fear

"Boss, there's a guy named Kendao on the Internet who's causing some heat about you." Zoroark said hurriedly. Teng Shu raised his eyebrows after hearing this, and then put down the design drawings in his hand. He was just looking at the design drawings in the spaceship, thinking about how to arrange the scene later, and then the shooting of the classic shot of the alien breaking the chest, but he didn't expect to encounter trouble.

"What's the popularity?" Teng Shu really didn't know much about this. During this period, Teng Shu was busy dealing with company affairs and had to deal with the filming of the alien. He was very busy every day and didn't have much time to check his phone, so Teng Shu really didn't know much about what was happening on the Internet.

Zoroak spoke excitedly, but Teng Shu looked very calm after listening to him. When he decided to be a director, he knew that there would be a lot of such things. Not to mention being a director, even if Teng Shu inherited the Dewen Company, there would be a lot of people cursing him behind his back. The players of the poisonous milk powder in the previous life cursed Boss Ma even more.

Moreover, movies are something that no one can be the best of. Some people like a movie while others don't, some people hate it while others admire it. It's completely normal. So Teng Shu actually doesn't care much about such attacks in his heart. Moreover, this so-called Ken Dao, the other party has no qualifications to be in Teng Shu's eyes.

But after all, the traffic is now increasing. If Teng Shu does not respond, it will have a certain impact on the company. Thinking of this, Teng Shu had some ideas.

"In that case, let's shoot more this time." Teng Shu said calmly. He had an idea. Since someone came out to ask for a hammer, Teng Shu would naturally meet the other party's request and let the other party get the hammer he asked for. As for what to shoot, it would naturally be a thriller and horror type, such as being buried alive.

It's a film with very little budget, very few actors, and not much change in scenes, but it is definitely an excellent work, and it has some depth in itself and is quite interesting.

However, although more filming is planned, Teng Shu has no plans to find a large venue or make a big plan. Teng Shu plans to let Damu play the leading male actor.

Damm's acting skills are very good, and Teng Shu feels that Sherlock Holmes cannot fully reflect Damm's acting skills, so Teng Shu had previously thought about filming a film in the future that would test acting skills, in an effort to get Damm to win the Best Actor award.

Unexpectedly, Ken Dao jumped out by himself at this time, which made Teng Shu feel a lot more relaxed. The movie "Buried Alive" requires very high acting skills from the male lead. After all, he is basically the only one facing the camera throughout the whole process, so the male lead's acting skills are the key factor in determining whether the movie can be successful.

Teng Shu simply took out his laptop and typed out the script for Buried Alive on the spot, but it was just a rough outline, and he had to communicate with Dam before describing the details in detail.

After all, some of the plots in the original Buried Alive were not quite suitable, so Teng Shu needed to make some minor adaptations, but the extent of the adaptations was not very large, so it was relatively simple.

"Boss, this script...are you going to let Damu play the role?" Zoroark was watching from the side and naturally noticed that Teng Shu wrote Damu's name in the starring role.

"Well, Damu ultimately needs a movie to demonstrate his acting skills, which will also be helpful for his future acting career." Teng Shu nodded.

"Will this work?" Zoroark was a little hesitant. Teng Shu glanced at Zoroark and immediately understood the reason for Zoroark's hesitation.

“No, even though Sherlock Holmes was played by Dame, they are two different characters after all. The audience will not tie Dame and Holmes together just because of the two Sherlock Holmes movies.” Teng Shu smiled.

Although there will definitely be people who will complain about how bad Holmes is when the movie is released, Teng Shu is not really that worried.

After all, most audiences can still tell the difference. Only some special actors will be tied to certain roles. For example, if they look particularly similar to some great men, they basically cannot act in other movies.

Chapter 292: Buried Alive and Winning the Prize

Although Dame is a unique actor who became famous for playing Sherlock Holmes, it doesn't mean he can't play other roles.

In his previous life, Benedict Cumberbatch went to Marvel to play Doctor Strange. If he were to return to the Sherlock Holmes crew with Doctor Strange's abilities, Sherlock Holmes would probably become a fantasy movie.

Thinking of this, Teng Shu asked Zoroark to call Damu and ask about Damu's recent schedule.

With the popularity of Sherlock Holmes II during this period, Damm's name appeared everywhere, but most of them were in some advertisements, other public service announcements and roadshows. Damm was not seen at other times.

Many variety shows want to invite Damm to participate. After all, as the actor of Sherlock Holmes, he is a super killer at this time when Sherlock Holmes is dominating the TV drama industry. Many of Damm's fans are crazy about meeting their idol, but Damm has not agreed.

This was not only decided by the agent assigned to Damm by Ghost Pictures, but also Damm's own idea.

"There is a difference between variety show stars and performing arts stars. Excellent actors rarely appear on variety shows in order to maintain a distance between themselves and the audience so that they can perform better in acting." This is what Damu meant. Teng Shu was quite satisfied with it. Although variety show stars can also do well and even have higher popularity than traditional performing arts stars, there is still a gap here.

In the entertainment industry's chain of contempt, movie actors often stand at the top and look down on variety show stars below. Even the more famous variety show stars will have a lower status than entertainment stars in some activities.

"Boss, Dam said he doesn't have time during this period." Zoroak said to Teng Shu while covering the phone. Teng Shu nodded, and then asked Zoroak to send the script of "Buried Alive" to Dam first to see if Dam wanted to act. If he wanted to, then he could talk about it. If not, Teng Shu would find someone else.

The champion in the previous variety show competition with tens of thousands of people also had outstanding acting skills. In the final, he performed a scene of eating noodles and watching a show without objects, which shocked the whole audience. In the end, he defeated the second place and won the championship. Now, the opponent has directly become a second-rate star. When the movie he filmed is successful, it will not be a problem for him to become a first-rate star.

However, Teng Shu is still quite confident about whether Damm will participate in the show. After all, Damm is an actor with great aspirations. Some of the time spent on filming the second season of Sherlock Holmes was because Damm was not satisfied with his own performance and wanted to shoot a few more takes. In reality, it was proved that Damm's acting skills have indeed improved.

This is also what Teng Shu is most satisfied with.

Maybe it was the previous suppression and silence that allowed Dam to accumulate enough character, so even though he is extremely popular now, Dam did not get carried away, but walked down to earth step by step on the road of the entertainment industry.

After a while, Teng Shu's cell phone rang. It was Dam calling. He excitedly expressed his desire to star in the movie Buried Alive. Teng Shu didn't say anything, but asked the other party to come over by plane. He planned to shoot Buried Alive at the studio in the Kanto area.

"Boss, is it really okay to shoot two movies at once?" Zoroark asked with some concern. Teng Shu shook his head after hearing this. Of course, there was no problem with this.

Compared with Alien, the movie Buried has a much smaller workload. The whole process is basically focused on the male protagonist who was buried alive, and then through the male protagonist's acting skills, phone calls and communications, it shows a slow sense of despair and suffocation. It can be said that if you can watch this movie, you will feel very dull, giving people a feeling of slowly dying.

"Buried is very short and the script does not require many scenes. Most of the time is Dam's one-man show, so it was shot quickly." Teng Shu said calmly. Buried in his previous life was shot in about half a month, which was really short. It was completely incomparable to Alien. It would probably take one or two months to shoot Alien, but Buried was easier. That's why Teng Shu planned to shoot two films at the same time.

Anyway, for him, the crew is here now, and the screenwriter of burying alive will not be too troublesome. He just needs to set up a scene, and then let Dam lie down in it and start filming.

It will not affect the shooting of aliens.

There are even some directors with outstanding abilities who can cut two movies while shooting one play. That's really powerful.

Teng Shu has not yet reached this standard. After all, Alien and Buried Alive are not of the same genre. Alien is a science fiction horror film, while Buried Alive is a thriller film. They are not the same.

"But fortunately, burying alive also contains some horror elements, so maybe I can get some fear value, right?" Teng Shu thought to himself.

The problem of not having major awards is indeed troublesome, just like not winning a championship ring in basketball or not winning the World Cup in football. Even if you are a good player, there will always be people who attack you for not being a qualified football king based on this reason.

Although Teng Shu is rich and doesn't care much about these false reputations, there are always some people who will use this as an excuse to attack him. Once or twice is no big deal, but it is really annoying if it happens too many times. Thinking of this, Teng Shu decided to make an award-winning film and then win an award. Then he won't have to respond specifically every time he is attacked and arouses public opinion.

Very troublesome.

"Go for the prize." Teng Shu touched his chin.

There are a lot of movies produced in the film industry every year, but most of them are unknown, and only a few of them can be released in theaters. Among them, those that are released are often commercial films, or films made purely for the purpose of laundering money.

And some of these movies are made specifically for the purpose of winning awards. These movies are rarely shown in theaters, and when they are shown their performance is generally somewhat different from those commercial films. So it is still a relatively unique type of movie. It can also be understood as an art film. It is relatively rare, but it does exist.

The Pokémon world naturally also has film awards. The most popular one is naturally the Pokémon League Award. The nominations for Best Film have always been very competitive, but Teng Shu is a little confused about what kind of movie he should choose.

Although there were many film awards in the previous life, such as the most famous Oscars, Teng Shu himself was still very clear about the standard of the Oscars.

If we say that the first Oscars were fair and indeed selected excellent films, but in the later stages, it was completely a competition of the magic resistance of the films.

Chapter 293 Holmes's Mop Rating

Why did the film industry no longer regard the Oscar as a lifelong achievement goal for directors and actors? Because people in the industry can see that the Oscar selection does not care about the theme and intention of your filming, nor does it care about how profound your filming is. They just want to see what they want to see. Therefore, the Oscars do not let the awards choose movies, but let the movies cater to the awards.

According to the magical environment of the lighthouse before the journey, Teng Shu felt that an "equal rights" movie that brought together LGBT+black people+minorities+gender armed helicopters would be more likely to be recognized by the judges.

However, for Teng Shu, the movies in this world do not have these problems. If they are good-looking, they are good-looking. If they are meaningful, they are meaningful. You will not get the approval of the judges just because you use a black person as the protagonist. Therefore, Teng Shu can make his own movies with confidence. As for art films, Teng Shu has not watched many. Although Forrest Gump is also very good, it is still very difficult to adapt it. Relatively speaking, movies like Manchester by the Sea are relatively easier.

"What is the plot of Manchester by the Sea?" Teng Shu scratched his head. He couldn't quite remember the plot. After all, Teng Shu seldom watched movies like this. Art films were not Teng Shu's favorite type, so Teng Shu mostly watched commercial movies.

However, it is too difficult to shoot a horror film to the level of winning awards. Even if you can win, it will only be in the field of horror films, and those who attack you will definitely have something to say. So Teng Shu plans to go directly for the alliance's Best Film Award and Best Director Award, and then he will be able to shut up these trolls.

While Teng Shu was busy writing the script, Zoroark was looking at his phone, scrolling through the comments about the second season of Sherlock Holmes.

On a platform for sharing the stories you just made up, Zoroark saw a topic that was in the top three of the popularity list [How do you evaluate the Galar Express Murder Case in the second episode of Sherlock Holmes Season 2? ]

Seeing this comment, Zoroark immediately clicked on it.

[For Dandi meow meow:]

[Thanks for the invitation. I'm in Galar. I just got off the Galar Express train and visited this luxury train that is destined to go down in film history. I also took a close look at some of the pilgrimage sites in the Galar Murder on the Express. There are many pictures below for warning, so be careful if you are a traffic party! ]

【Picture 123456789】

[I also visited the carriage where Sherlock Holmes lived in the Galar Express Murder Case. There are many contents related to the Sherlock Holmes series preserved here, and even the bedding has been specially designed. Just looking at it gave me the feeling that I saw Sherlock Holmes thinking about how to solve the case in front of me. It was so touching! ]

[Now, let's get back to the point. Let's talk about the Galar Express Murder Case, which is currently the most outstanding in the second season of Sherlock Holmes. I have to say that after watching it, I felt like I was watching a movie. However, Director Teng Shu is good at shooting TV series in the style of movies, and the reasoning links are closely linked. When the mystery was finally revealed, I couldn't bear to eat a piece of potato chips! ]

[It wasn’t until I saw the subtitles slowly rising that I realized I had been holding my potato chips for most of the day. This kind of reasoning setting and method of solving the case must be said to be a masterpiece. In my mind, it can even directly win the title of the best TV series in the Pokémon League this year. If not, then there must be something fishy going on! ]

[Moreover, as a detail-obsessed person, Director Teng Shu still left a lot of details in the TV series, allowing everyone who enjoys reasoning to infer the real murderer in the story. I have to say that this satisfies the preferences of most people. Even some friends I know will turn off the TV and review the entire TV series by themselves before Holmes reveals the real murderer to find the real murderer. I have to say that this is a great pleasure.]

[Even up to now, there are basically no flaws in the reasoning in the Sherlock Holmes filmed by Director Teng Shu. Everything can convince me that the murderer did it. This attitude of treating the audience as normal people makes me feel good. At least the screenwriter and director did not treat me as a fool.]

[But what I am most satisfied with is that there are not too many emotional elements in the filming of Sherlock Holmes so far, except for that woman, of course.]

"Well, you have good vision." Zoroark nodded, very satisfied. It also thought that Murder on the Orient Express was good. The name Murder on the Orient Express was suggested by Teng Shu, so the internal employees of Ghost Pictures called it that. The actual name released was Murder on the Galar Express, which could be regarded as a return for the original sponsorship of the Galar Alliance.

The Galar Alliance was extremely happy during this period. After all, they attracted so many tourists by borrowing a luxury train. This business was really worth it.

This made other alliance regions eager to invite Teng Shu to make a movie. After all, none of Teng Shu's movies had failed, and Tom and Jerry made the Hoenn Alliance earn a lot of money. It can be said that it made the finance ministers of many alliances jealous.

Then Zoroark opened the [MOP Rating]

[I will post the characters of the second episode of Sherlock Holmes, and you can rate them! ]

[Director, screenwriter and investor Fang Teng Shu: 9.9 points]

[Full marks without a doubt. Where can I find such a great director and screenwriter? Thanks to the Zfuchi family for giving birth to Director Teng Shu! ]

[Although I really want to give you zero points for your fake advertising of ghost calls, but because Sherlock Holmes is such a classic, I give you full marks! ]

[One point more than full marks, because my parents want to change my name to Sherlock Holmes! ]

"Poof" Zoroark couldn't hold it back and almost laughed out loud.

However, there are indeed some people on the Internet who have taken advantage of the popularity and changed their names to Sherlock Holmes or Sherlock, but most of them are just joking. Of course, there are also some people who are really changing their names.

[Male lead Sherlock Holmes: 9.9 points]

【Elementary! 】

[The sound of your brain thinking disturbs me! 】

[Although I didn't pretend on purpose, I always felt like I was pretending all the time. It's so strong]

[So no one gave that old man a voice? That old man must not be a simple character]

Holmes also gives high scores. Even if he gives a low score, it is often because he wants others to pay more attention to such an eccentric person like him.

Zoroark put down his phone and rubbed his hands excitedly. Should he ask the boss to assign him a role?

Zoroark felt that his acting skills were pretty good.

Chapter 294 Teng Shu murder case? !

"You mean, you also want to play a role in Sherlock?" Teng Shu looked at Zoroark in front of him with a strange look. He really didn't expect that this guy Zoroark actually wanted to play a role after the filming of the second season of Sherlock.

Zoroark nodded immediately, and it also wanted to leave its name in such an excellent work. Seeing this, Teng Shu touched his chin. It was not that he did not want to arrange a role for Zoroark. After all, it was a very simple thing for Teng Shu to arrange a role for Zoroark. The only problem was that the second season of Sherlock Holmes had been filmed, and the TV series had been sent to the TV station for broadcast. It was impossible for Teng Shu to reshoot a segment now.

"Then you can only wait for the third season. Remember to tell me earlier next time." Teng Shu pinched his brows helplessly, and then told Zoroark. Although Zoroark was a little disappointed after hearing it, he didn't say anything. He realized this problem after asking the question.

Although their boss is the director and screenwriter of Sherlock Holmes and has the ability to add more people, the problem is that the second season has already been produced, so it is impossible to carry out the filming.

"Okay, we'll start filming the third season when the time is right. Now ask the props team to get things ready, and try to start filming the Alien as soon as possible." Teng Shu looked at Zoroark and comforted his secretary.

Fortunately, Zoroark itself was not too upset. It adjusted quickly and did things according to Teng Shu's requirements. The work speed of the entire prop team also increased a lot. When Dam hurriedly arrived at the shooting site by plane, the entire spaceship had been laid out. After the shooting is completed, the spaceship will be left to the Kanto Alliance as a place to attract tourists.

"Boss!" Damm found Teng Shu as soon as he arrived at the set and spoke with some excitement. Hearing Damm's words, Teng Shu also raised his head. He was working on the script at hand. It would take some time to rewrite the script of Manchester by the Sea.

"You're here so soon?" Teng Shu couldn't help but smile when he saw Dam, who looked exhausted. Then he handed the script of "Buried Alive" to Dam and asked Dam to take a look at it first.

"I came here after receiving your call, boss. After all, your script is so excellent." Dam said sincerely. This time he was not flattering, but was serious. After all, Teng Shu's script of burying alive was indeed quite outstanding. Dam liked it at the first sight. Now seeing a more complete script, Dam was even more satisfied.
