Teng Shu looked at Gengar in confusion, but Gengar didn’t say anything. It just looked a little strange. In the end, it rejected Teng Shu’s request and did not come to act in the short film. It even didn’t play its favorite game of rock-paper-scissors and just left, leaving Teng Shu stunned.

“Why do I always feel like Gengar is hiding something from me?” Teng Shu looked at the direction where Gengar left with some confusion and scratched his head, but he didn’t think much about it. Since Gengar was unwilling to act, Teng Shu could only replace him with another actor. Although Teng Shu thought that the effect would be better if Gengar was in the role, there was nothing he could do since Gengar was unwilling to act now.

For this horror short film, Teng Shu used a new template, which was not the horror short film from his previous life.

Teng Shu did this in order to get closer to the main audience group this time.

“Let me see. Most wild Pokémon need to drink water, so we can just set up a horror story that takes place at a drinking point.” Teng Shu thought for a moment, then simply wrote a script.

The biggest difference between a horror short film and a horror film is the length. A horror short film is very short, so in order to achieve a more efficient scare, most horror short films actually use the jump-face scare.

Including After Turning Off the Lights, there are also some classic horror shorts. In fact, if you watch more of them, you will find that these shorts basically have a ghost face suddenly jump out at the last moment to scare people.

Then add some sound effects and stuff. Even though it’s very cliché, I have to say that the face-jumping scare is really effective.

At least in this case, the jump-face scare is almost the only type of horror short film that can be chosen. After all, the length of the short film is limited, and it is impossible to tell the entire story in such a short time, so this method is the only one that can be adopted.

A short film is not a problem for Teng Shu now, but after finishing it, Teng Shu patted his head.

Teng Shu had been working for so long that he almost forgot that there was a company behind him.

Thinking of this, Teng Shu sent a message to Zoroark about his plan to shoot a short film this time, and asked Zoroark to go to the company’s work group to assign the task, and let the person in charge of the company’s plot group write the script, and he would take a look at it later.

“Unconsciously, I have become the boss who assigns work tasks to others after get off work.” Teng Shu looked at the reply from Zoroark on his phone and couldn’t help but think of a joke he had heard in his previous life.

Ducks quack, chickens cluck, so how do cows and horses quack?
He received the shout and there was some self-mockery in his laughter.

However, Teng Shu does not assign such tasks often. Most of the time, Teng Shu will not assign work after get off work. After all, he does not want to be hung on the street light.

After explaining the task of the short film, Teng Shu felt a lot more relaxed.

With nothing to do, Teng Shu opened the Hoenn horror movie fans communication group, intending to see what these group members were doing.

[Not some dirty demon king: Have you watched any new movies recently? Many recent movies use that kind of super virtual technology! ]

Teng Shu raised his eyebrows. This was really interesting. He had just opened the group and saw that they were discussing his new technology. However, when thinking of this new technology, Teng Shu’s expression became a little subtle. This new patent could be said to have made Teng Shu a lot of money. And it seemed that having tasted the sweetness, many large companies had begun to rent or purchase Teng Shu’s cameras.

Now the rental and sale of cameras has become a major source of income for Ghost Pictures.

However, Teng Shu actually doesn’t think much of this. What he values ​​more are the other benefits that this thing brings him. Ghost Pictures has now gotten rid of the embarrassing situation before. Ghost Pictures almost became the public enemy of the industry.

But with the emergence of the youth version, this problem has been solved. Although it is not a complete solution, it is much better than before. At least Teng Shu basically no longer receives the previous harassing calls, and the occasional calls he receives are from people who want to ask if they can use the original version of the camera.

After all, the original version of the camera was more powerful and easier to use, but because of the energy supply problem, Teng Shu declined all of them. Although the representatives of those companies felt it was a pity, they did not force it.

Although the youth version of the camera is not that powerful, it can still be used, so there is no need to offend Teng Shu.

[I am depressed: I have watched it, but it is still quite interesting. I heard that some people who make pornographic movies also want to borrow this new camera (dog head)]

[I declare that being sleazy is the way to go: What? Dirty? If this thing can really use that kind of camera, I will immediately support the genuine version! ]

Looking at these group members who were quickly going off topic, Teng Shu silently turned off his phone. These guys were really brave, but Teng Shu did know something about what they were talking about. These people had actually rented a house before, but gave up because they could not afford the high rent.

But I guess with the emergence of these new movies and the box office revenue, there will always be people who can’t help themselves.

At this moment, Teng Shu’s cell phone rang. He picked up the phone and took a look. It was a message from Director Kirk.

[Kirk: Director Teng Shu, I will come to your company tomorrow to sign an agreement. I hope I won’t bother you?]

The old man was as decisive as ever, and Teng Shu quickly said no.

Teng Shu had discussed with Kirk about filming the movie before, but the old man said that he had to go get a script that he liked very much, so he didn’t come to Teng Shu for the time being. Later, he was delayed for a while because of some family matters.

However, Teng Shu did not urge him. According to Director Kirk’s status and style of doing things, since the other party had already agreed verbally, Teng Shu did not have to worry that the other party would go back on his word. Director Kirk was not such a person.

And now, the old man is coming, and Teng Shu is also very happy. After all, this is the first work after the old man’s comeback, and it will definitely cause a great market response. In other words, it is a sure win.

With such expectation, Teng Shu met Mr. Kirk in the company the next day. At the same time, Teng Shu also noticed that Mr. Kirk was followed by an old man of the same age. The other party was dressed very ordinary, but had a scholarly air.

“Teng Shu, this is my old friend. He has worked with me for many years and provided me with many excellent scripts.” Kirk introduced with a smile. After Kirk said this, Teng Shu knew who the other party was. He was a very famous screenwriter, very capable and well-known.

However, after Kirk retired, he did not publish any new works and faded out of the entertainment industry. Unexpectedly, Director Kirk brought him here. “Welcome, welcome. I have heard of your name for a long time.” Teng Shu said with a smile. The other party did not put on airs and shook hands with Teng Shu politely. Then he took out a script. Teng Shu took a look at it and saw “Rear Window” written on it, which made Teng Shu’s eyes light up.

Rear window? Could this rear window be that rear window?

Teng Shu was a little curious.

Although the Pokémon world is a different world, to some extent this different world also has many shadows of previous lives, so there are also some classic movies and TV series here. Coupled with the character setting of director Kirk, Teng Shu feels that this Rear Window is very likely the Rear Window he had in mind.

Sure enough, after a quick look, Teng Shu confirmed that it was indeed the very classic Rear Window.

Teng Shu also quickly signed a contract with Director Kirk and the old man. Kirk would take the old man to shoot a movie. As for what would happen afterwards, they would talk about it later. Teng Shu had no objection to this.

Kirk is rich and famous, he has everything he wants, so it is difficult to tempt the old man in this way, so Teng Shu can only let the old man experience the power of the new technology himself. It is hard to say whether Kirk will be willing to continue filming then.

Although Director Kirk is old, his skills are there. Teng Shu is still very interested if he can sign Director Kirk under his command.

But we can’t rush things now, so Teng Shu didn’t mention this matter. He just asked about the budget Director Kirk needed, and then asked Zoroark to allocate funds. He then told Kirk to add more if it was not enough. Kirk smiled even more.

A client like Teng Shu, who pays quickly and does little work, is simply the perfect client.

“Boss, Hoenn has a charity auction party and invites you to attend. Do you want to go?” After Director Kirk and the others left, Zoroark said this to Teng Shu. After hearing Zoroark’s words, Teng Shu paused. Charity auction party?

It seems that because he has a charity foundation under his command, plus his donations, Teng Shu was recognized as a philanthropist. This is a good reputation, but it also represents some minor troubles, that is, there will always be some charity evenings or caring people and organizations coming to him for help.

After all, most of the problems in this world can be solved with money.

There are too many people who come to Teng Shu to borrow money or to donate money. The account that Teng Shu gave to the company’s public relations team for operation and maintenance receives similar messages every day. If Teng Shu is left to reply to all of them alone, he probably won’t be able to do anything else throughout the day.

“Let me see.” Teng Shu took the flyer handed over by Zoroark and took a look. This was a charity party held in Shuijing City. Some things would be auctioned at the party, and all the proceeds from the auction would be donated to charity organizations.

It was a very standard charity gala, but the items on auction were quite interesting, and one of them really caught Teng Shu’s attention.

【Bells of the Bell Tower】

Although it looks like an ordinary little thing, the bell tower in Yuanzhu City is famous throughout the alliance. The bells on it are replaced every six months, and the replaced bells are sold. The money obtained from the sale is used to maintain and repair the bell tower, which can be regarded as a profit direction for the bell tower.

However, this bell was different. There were traces of fire on it, as if it was taken out from coal slag. It was also a little broken, but what made Teng Shu most curious were the bloodstains on the bell.

【Bells of the Bell Tower】

[A collector is offering this item. When the bell tower caught fire last time, this bell was enshrined at the top. It is stained with some strange blood stains that cannot be wiped off.]

This is the introduction on the flyer. Apparently, the finale item of this charity auction is this bell, so it is included on the invitation letter.

Teng Shu was indeed interested.

He had no interest in attending before. After all, these parties were boring, extremely boring, and uninteresting. They were also filled with all kinds of troubles, and he had to deal with those people. Teng Shu felt that there were too many things to do, so he might as well stay at home and play games. Anyway, he had no intention of continuing filming for the time being.

After filming The Grudge, Teng Shu planned to take a break for a while before filming The Truman Show, which was also to make The Truman Show the next nominated film, as this year will soon be over.

It would be a big loss if The Truman Show were to be nominated this year, and Teng Shu also participated in this year’s most valuable film festival, so it would be better to wait for next year’s.

“Okay, I’ll go over then.” Teng Shu nodded. He really wanted to see if there was anything abnormal about the bell. Although Teng Shu felt that there was most likely nothing abnormal, even if there wasn’t, it would be nice to use money to buy a reputation and establish himself as a philanthropist.

“By the way, Zoroark, how is the amusement park that the dream demons built before going?” Teng Shu remembered another matter. This matter has been in the works for a while, but he doesn’t know whether it is finished. If it is finished, he plans to go over and experience it.

When Zoroark heard this, he thought about it for a moment and then quickly gave an answer.

“Boss, the main facilities of the amusement park have been completed. The only things we are working on now are the rides.” Zoroark said affirmatively, and Teng Shu nodded. The amusement park is simple, but the rides are indeed difficult. After all, this world is too complicated. Therefore, if an amusement park wants to stand out, it needs to be innovative.

Therefore, recreational facilities are also the most important part.

Most of the amusement parks in the past life are almost dead, and some that survived rely on a region for survival. For example, most second-tier and above cities may have one amusement park, and the only one that can become famous all over the world is the theme park that will be held accountable by the strongest legal team if it messes up its image.

The reason why that theme park became popular is entirely due to its huge IP, which is why it has survived to this day, otherwise it would have died long ago.

“IP?” Teng Shu touched his chin. (End of this chapter)
