Pokémon's Lord of Fear

For an aspiring actor like Dam, after making money, what he pursues is to improve his reputation. In the world of Pokémon, the highest achievement for a male actor is to win the Best Actor award from the Pokémon League.

Although Sherlock Holmes is also a very good script, Damm himself knows in his heart that even if he can win a TV drama award with this TV series, it will still be regrettable and incomplete. Only an excellent movie, a movie that can test his acting skills, can allow him to win the Best Actor award.

In Dam's opinion, Teng Shu's burial alive obviously had such a possibility.

"Well, this movie is your one-man show. Come on, do a good job." Teng Shu patted Damu's shoulder and handed him a cup of milk tea. Damu quickly took the milk tea with both hands and thanked him repeatedly, which made Teng Shu feel a little amused.

Dam is really too humble.

Dam went to read the script with a cup of milk tea in hand. He planned to specifically study the role of the male protagonist who was buried alive to see if there was anything that could be explored in this role. If it were any other movie, he might also hold a script reading session before filming to let everyone know more about their roles.

But there are basically no other actors in Buried Alive, so the script reading session can naturally be cancelled.

"Boss, here is a business cooperation application that needs your review." Zoroark walked over and said hurriedly.

"What?" Teng Shu didn't care too much. He had received too many business cooperations, and there were even more from Dewen Company, all kinds of them.

"There is a super popular idol girl group in the Kanto region who wants to ask us if we need them to sing their theme song." Zoroark said with a strange look on his face, and Teng Shu was stunned when he heard it.

Idol girl group? Sing the theme song?

Alien theme song?

As a science fiction horror film, there isn't a lot of music in Alien. After all, the story takes place in a place called space, and sometimes the silence of space is used to deliberately highlight the horror atmosphere. Theme songs and the like are more suitable for some traditional science fiction movies.

However, it is also very common to invite popular singers or idol groups to sing the theme songs, and these singers and idol groups are happy to do so. If the movie or TV series becomes popular, it can also boost their fame and make money.

"No need." Teng Shu waved his hand. He really couldn't imagine what it would feel like to insert a theme song into a movie like Alien, which had a fast pace throughout. And where to insert it was also a problem.

Although now Teng Shu has discovered that film companies in Hollywood have also begun to learn from Bollywood, there must be some dancing and dynamic music rhythm in a movie, such as the step dance in the previous "Joker" and the weird dance of the terrifying artificial intelligence Mary.

Or the dance like BYEBYEBYE in Deadpool. Teng Shu had no idea about inserting dance into movies. After all, dance and music can indeed express the character's personality, shape the character's image, and make the character more vivid and three-dimensional.

But if one movie uses it it's considered fresh, if two movies use it it's considered industry practice, but if all movies use it it'll just make people feel a little bored.

After all, why do characters in movies dance? This also needs a reasonable explanation. You can't just say that the characters can dance whenever they want? That would be too Bollywood.

"Okay, then I'll go reply." Zoroark nodded and turned away. Teng Shu didn't care.

He is now more concerned about the filming of Alien and Buried. Shooting two movies at once is a challenge for Teng Shu. After all, this is his first attempt to do so.

However, looking at the Alien crew who were still arranging the sets and various props, and Dam who was familiarizing himself with the script, Teng Shu felt that maybe he could shoot Buried Alive before waiting for Alien to start filming?

Thinking of this, Teng Shu walked over and glanced at Damu, who was still reading the script, making some strange expressions as he read, as if he was practicing how to perform some scenes in the script. Looking at Damu's appearance, Teng Shu couldn't help but fall into deep thought. He was quite confident in Damu's acting skills, but it seemed that it would take some time for Damu to fully understand the script.

"Dam, what do you feel after reading the script?" Teng Shu asked while looking at the curtain in front of him. After hearing Teng Shu's question, Dam showed an interested expression. He held the script in his hand and excitedly told Teng Shu about his views on the role.

After listening to it, Teng Shu found that there was nothing wrong with Dam's idea. The main point of the whole Buried Alive script was that the hero tried to save himself, but in the end he felt despair after his self-rescue failed. The hero's inner emotional fluctuations during this period were also a line. That's why Teng Shu said that Buried Alive would be a very unique movie, which would be very demanding on the actors, but would not have such high requirements on the director.

Originally, Buried Alive should have been enough, but considering the selection requirements of the Pokémon League Film Festival, Teng Shu felt that it would be safer to shoot another one, so Teng Shu planned three movies at once, but the Manchester movie had to wait until these two were finished before it could start shooting.

"Your idea is indeed very good. Do you have the confidence that you can perform well?" Teng Shu looked at Damu and asked with a smile. After hearing this, Damu immediately nodded solemnly. Naturally, he had some confidence in this.

"Boss, before I met you, I had always lived a life as if I was buried alive, so I am still very confident." Dam gave Teng Shu a thumbs up. After hearing this, Teng Shu paused for a moment, but still patted Dam on the shoulder.

Teng Shu had seen Dam's past in a previous interview on a movie channel, and even saw the wall-mounted house that Dam rented at the time. It was a very small room that was only big enough for a bed and nothing else. That room had been bought by Dam himself.

He said that whenever he felt proud, he would go back to the room, look at where he used to be, and then remind himself again.

"Then I plan to spend half a month to finish filming Buried Alive. Do you have confidence?" Teng Shu asked with a smile. Dam paused after hearing this, then thought for a while, and then nodded solemnly.

Teng Shu didn't say anything when he saw this, but called Zoroark and began to prepare for the filming of the burial alive.

"Boss, is this really a movie?" Zoroark asked in surprise, looking at the overly simple filming location in front of him.

A simple piece of land and a wooden box are all the requirements for filming the entire Buried Alive film. If Teng Shu and Damu were not very serious, Zoroark and other crew members would have suspected that Teng Shu was joking.

"Yes, this is a movie." Teng Shu said calmly. Buried Alive was originally a low-budget movie with a low investment. It is one of the movies that time travelers can choose when they have no money after traveling through time. Another option is to shoot some pseudo-documentaries.

The only requirement for being buried alive is acting skills.

"Dam, you need to lie in this wooden box when the time comes. I will have someone bury you underneath and then take a close-up shot. Is there any problem?" Teng Shu looked at Dam and asked.

He plans to shoot more realistically, and there is no need to worry about safety issues. After all, with the existence of Pokémon, there is no safety issue, and such shooting can also make the movie more realistic.

"No problem, boss. I like this kind of challenge." Dam was a little excited. He was getting makeup done. The makeup artist needed to dress Dam up as if he was buried alive according to the requirements of the script.

Teng Shu nodded with satisfaction, and then discussed the new movie with the crew members.

"This movie is called "Buried Alive", the protagonist is Dam, and there is no need to choose other supporting roles."

“..There is no need to bury Dam alive.” At this moment, in the nearby forest, two people were adjusting equipment, and after hearing these words, they looked at each other.

"Brother, what does this mean? Are you sure our monitoring equipment is in?" One of the short and fat men scratched his head in confusion. Why does this not sound like a movie shooting scene, but rather like a murder scene?

The tall and thin man also looked confused. Logically, they should have put it in, but why did they hear such outrageous things?

1. Buried alive, Dam, no need?

Bury Dam alive because the company doesn't need him anymore?

But isn’t Dam the top male star at Ghost Pictures?

Is Teng Shu so cruel? He buried his own actor alive?

This is big news. For those paparazzi chasing front-page headlines, if this is true, it is super big news. The heir of Dewen Company is a murderer secretly. Just imagine how terrifying the traffic and headlines will be?

But after all, I haven't monitored it completely, so I'm still not sure.

"Maybe the equipment is not debugged well. Wait for me to adjust the antenna." The tall and thin man shook his head and checked and adjusted the antenna. Soon, the sound came from the monitoring device again.

"Oh my God! What are you going to do? Why are you burying me alive? I don't want to die!" A terrified voice begging for mercy was heard from the monitor. The tall and thin man and the short and fat man both fell silent. As paparazzi reporters, they naturally knew who the owner of the voice was.

Dam.

The top star of Ghost Pictures, the actor who played Sherlock Holmes, a famous star in the entire league, now, this big star is going to be buried alive?

"This is simply... just..." The tall and thin man took a deep breath.

He got the recorded evidence, and when the time comes, as long as he finds Teng Shu, he can extort a large sum of money, a sum that is enough for him to become rich for the rest of his life, without having to worry about life difficulties, and to have enough food to eat for the rest of his life.

But only a fool would eat all his life. Being too greedy will get you nothing.

"Brother, what should we do?" The short and fat man asked tremblingly after listening to the begging for mercy in the monitor. He didn't expect Teng Shu to be such a person!

"We...we..." The tall and thin man took a deep breath, then silently picked up the recording equipment. He decided to do something big and let the timid ones starve to death and the bold ones die of gluttony!

Get rich today!

Chapter 295: Investigative Reporter and the Suicidal Dam

"Mr. Teng Shu, we are from the Junsha team of the alliance. We received a phone call reporting that you are killing people. Please cooperate with the investigation." Teng Shu looked at the Junsha ladies in front of him with a confused look in his eyes. What the hell? Killing people by yourself? Isn't this funny?

Just now, Teng Shu was filming his own "Buried Alive" in the crew, and then he buried Dam. After all, in order to pursue a realistic effect, this shooting method is the best, which can avoid many problems, and Dam also requested so, so Teng Shu was planning to shoot more segments in one go and complete the shooting of the entire movie as soon as possible.

But he didn't expect to be called out by Zoroark, and then told that a team of Miss Junsha came to see him. Teng Shu didn't take it seriously. He thought they might be here to promote fire prevention or something. After all, such things often happen in the alliance.

But Teng Shu didn't expect that Miss Junsha would come up to him and tell him that he had committed a crime, which was simply outrageous.

"I" Teng Shu was a little amused and helpless.

Why did he kill? You should know that most people kill people because of passion, that is, they choose to kill because of some hatred or money. However, Teng Shu has a happy life and is the heir of Dewen Company, a top second-generation rich man. He doesn't understand what the person who called the police is thinking.

But now that they have been called out, Teng Shu knows that Junsha and the others must have obtained some evidence before coming here, and they will not come to trouble Teng Shu just because of someone's report. When he thought of this, Teng Shu became even more confused, so what is this evidence?

"Oh, okay, who did I kill?" Teng Shu was a little confused, and then he saw two men, one tall and one short, walking out with mobile phones in their hands. Then a conversation started playing, a conversation in which Dam begged for mercy. As soon as the voice came out, Teng Shu knew what was going on, but he felt a little amused and annoyed.

Paparazzi.

Teng Shu did not expect that he would actually run into paparazzi. The most outrageous thing was that these guys dug a trap for Teng Shu and hid eavesdropping devices in it. Then they eavesdropped on his conversation with Dam and thought of blackmailing him. However, these guys definitely did not expect that he was just rehearsing the script with Dam.

Teng Shu heard this conversation very clearly. He was reviewing the script with Dam at that time, so he said that. However, he did not expect that the paparazzi would suspect that he was planning to kill someone after eavesdropping on it, so they reported the matter to the Junsha Brigade of the Alliance. Miss Junsha was indeed very serious and came anyway even though she knew his identity.

"This conversation. Actually, I was just reviewing a new script with my actor Dam. But never mind. I guess you won't believe me if I say this." Teng Shu curled his lips. This incident was really speechless. He had been in the Pokémon world for so long, but this was the first time he was accused of murder. And just listening to the conversation, there was indeed something wrong.

Teng Shu shook his head helplessly, and then called Dam out. If Dam didn't come out now, there would probably be no way to solve this problem. However, Teng Shu had just buried Dam to film a movie, and now he dug him out again.

With the appearance of Dam, the misunderstanding was naturally resolved, but Teng Shu looked at the two paparazzi in front of him with an unfriendly look. Teng Shu didn't know what to say to these two guys.

Being a paparazzi is an almost unavoidable profession for directors and stars, but in most cases the paparazzi are only interested in stars and not very interested in directors, unless the director is particularly good at making things happen and is very popular.

But basically, to a certain extent, celebrities are more likely to become the targets of paparazzi, and the paparazzi's madness is very outrageous. Most celebrities don't have a good feeling about paparazzi because these paparazzi are so disgusting.

They chase after celebrities, take secret photos, and even harass them when they are with their families. They ask them some fabricated and explosive information, or simply quote them out of context. A normal conversation becomes like idiotic talk after they are processed by them. The paparazzi rely on this to get money.

Paparazzi are people who can stay in one place for a month just to film explosive news. Most of them will deal with the evidence separately after filming. Some of them will find the celebrities involved and ask for some money to make a fortune. And those celebrities are usually not stubborn. After all, exposing the news and paying are not difficult choices.

If they pay to resolve the issue, at least they can still lead a normal life and take on various endorsements. However, once the news breaks out that their reputation has collapsed, the penalty for breach of contract alone will be enough to put these big stars in trouble.

Some paparazzi will wait for the price to rise, or sell them to others for leaks. After all, being a paparazzi is a profitable business. The prerequisite is that you have to have good eyesight, patience and the ability to stay up late. After all, many people do things secretly. In the past, many big melons were leaked by these paparazzi.

At that time, Teng Shu was also a spectator, but he never thought that one day he would become a melon.

"These two guys are quite unique." Teng Shu looked at the two paparazzi in front of him.

What Teng Shu didn't expect was that after these paparazzi got what they thought was evidence of Teng Shu's murder, they didn't even think of blackmailing him, but chose to call the police. This was totally inconsistent with the professional habits of the paparazzi.

"I have solved the problem of killing people, but what about you planting eavesdropping devices to find out the secrets of our crew?" Teng Shu looked at the two paparazzi in front of him with a smile. Xiao Q also made a threatening sound. The Night Patrol Spirit floated out silently, floated behind Teng Shu, and quietly looked at the two people in front of him.

"I admit my mistake. This incident was all done by me. I planned it all myself. It has nothing to do with my friend." The tall and thin man stretched out his hand casually and let Junsha handcuff him.

The short and fat man looked at his elder brother with some surprise, and wanted to say something eagerly, but was stared at by the tall and thin man, and then lowered his head in annoyance.

Teng Shu looked at Junsha again and asked about the outcome of the matter, while Zoroark on the side felt a little regretful. It was really a dereliction of duty that it did not discover the eavesdropping device hidden inside.

"This matter can be big or small. It depends on the choice you make, Teng Shu." Miss Junsha looked a little embarrassed. Originally, Teng Shu was not in the right in this matter, but now after the reversal of events, it has become a problem for the two whistleblowers. After all, illegally eavesdropping on Teng Shu's scripts can indeed constitute commercial espionage. If Teng Shu sues, he can basically win.

By then, the fixed sentence will be almost ten years.

If Teng Shu did not pursue the matter, then the matter would naturally be resolved. The two guys would just be criticized and educated and that would be the end of it. And if Teng Shu wanted to sue, then given his wealth, it would be difficult for these two guys to win. After all, it would not be easy to hire top lawyers, and rich people generally would not become paparazzi.

"I'm curious, why didn't you come to blackmail me?" Teng Shu looked at the two paparazzi in front of him with some amusement.

Although extortion is illegal, most celebrities are not stupid enough to call the police and go to court, because then their evidence will be exposed and they will lose everything. They may even have to sing "Tears Behind Bars". So even if the deal fails, they will not call the police.

Although Teng Shu was not very clear about the style of the paparazzi in the Pokémon League, after looking at the information released in the entertainment gossip section, Teng Shu felt that they were basically the same and there would not be much difference.

"I used to be a reporter, a serious reporter. You can regard this as a reporter's determination to uncover the truth." The tall and thin man said calmly. He did not regret his choice, but he regretted dragging down his companion, who had always treated him as an elder brother since they joined the industry.

The incident could have been avoided, but he insisted on exposing it, which angered the big shots. As a result, this reporter, who originally had a bright future, was reduced to being a paparazzi who took secret photos to make money.

He only hoped that his surrender would save his companions from being prosecuted by Teng Shu.

Teng Shu nodded. This was understandable. After all, Teng Shu knew that there were always some people in this world who were willing to do unique things. In his previous life, there were also some reporters who took the initiative to expose the dark side. Each of these investigative reporters was walking on the edge of death.

The most typical example is that there was once a reporter who pretended to be a mentally retarded person and infiltrated a shady brick factory, only to uncover the secrets inside. He was a real hero.
