Pokémon's Lord of Fear

At the same time, she also had a definition of the person she wanted to play Kayako in her mind.

After washing up, Teng Shu went outside to have breakfast, while Zoroark was already eating there with a pile of information.

"Boss, this is the preliminary list of actors who have passed the screening according to your request." Zoroark handed a large document to Teng Shu. Teng Shu's mouth twitched. Although he knew that there would be a lot of actors who signed up, he didn't expect there would be so many.

"Are there any exceptions for those who don't have a certain foundation in yoga and dance?" Teng Shu looked at the materials at hand and couldn't help but ask first.

"Boss, we have eliminated them. However, because you requested the information urgently this time, some of these actors have not yet been screened for their acting skills. After all, there are a lot of people who have signed up, from all regions." Zoroark's tone was somewhat helpless.

Yesterday, after Teng Shu expressed his intention to recruit a female lead to play a ghost in the next horror film, Zoroark sent it to the relevant department of the company for processing. As a result, a large number of people signed up. Although Teng Shu added some conditions, there were still many candidates who met the requirements, and the number was still increasing. If Zoroark had not suggested showing Teng Shu the current ones first, the number would have doubled.

Although it’s a bit strange to play a female ghost, it’s fine as long as I can stand out.

"Okay." Teng Shu looked through the documents in his hand, but he did not look at them in detail. He only looked at the ID photos on the documents.

Yes, what Teng Shu wanted was an ID photo, not a daily photo.

After all, ID photos often show a person's true appearance due to shooting problems and requirements, so how do you tell whether a person is a handsome man or a beautiful woman? Then naturally you have to look at the other person's ID photo. As long as the ID photo is good-looking, then the person himself will not be bad either. It can be called a magic mirror in the entertainment industry.

Zoroark looked at Teng Shu curiously. It was the first time that he saw Teng Shu choose actors without considering anything else but their faces. So what kind of horror movie was his boss going to shoot this time?

Zoroak felt that his boss's productivity was really outrageous. You know, most directors often shoot works every six months or a year. Those who can produce works every six months or a year are considered highly productive. Directors like Teng Shu who produce works in turns and whose work quality is very good are really rare.

Currently, the most famous and prolific director in the Pokémon League film and television circles is still a former predecessor. That predecessor owed a large sum of money due to the failure of his movie shooting. He had no choice but to take on movies crazily and then created the myth of shooting twelve movies in five years.

Of course, such high efficiency also led to some minor troubles. For example, some works received very low ratings. Almost ten out of twelve movies were bad movies, and he was also labeled as a bad movie director.

If he hadn't won the Best Director award with a movie later, he would probably never have been able to climb out of the quagmire of being a bad movie director in his entire life.

At this moment, Teng Shu is still choosing the Kayako of his choice.

Kayako, the core female ghost who appears in most of the works of Ju-Grudge, can be said to be the soul of the movie, so the selection of Kayako is very important. She cannot be too beautiful, nor can she look non-threatening and eerie. Anyway, it all depends on the appearance. This is also the key reason why Teng Shu only looks at ID photos.

"That won't work. I can't help but feel uncomfortable when I see Kayako with her baby fat." Teng Shu handed over some information.

"This one won't work either. With such a charming look, she should be filming Daji or something like that. And I don't think her temperament is suitable."

"Why does this look like a man? You can consider a role like a tomboy."

"My Arceus, so dark? Fortunately, there is no Black Lives Matter organization, so we don't have to worry about skin color discrimination when making movies."

Teng Shu rolled his eyes. Although there were many people who signed up, most of them did not suit Teng Shu's taste. Teng Shu only picked out some information that he personally thought was okay and put it aside for future use.

But then, Teng Shu turned to a data sheet.

【Fuji Takako】

【Member of the Johto Hyacinth Theatre Company, with extensive experience in drama performance.】

Looking at the name and photo, Teng Shu paused. This name really has some meaning, and the appearance of this actress also fits the image of Kayako in Teng Shu's mind. She can be said to be a natural Kayako. I just don't know if other aspects meet Teng Shu's requirements.

Thinking of this, Teng Shu continued to look at the girl's information.

He is 24 years old and a student. However, because his mother is a drama actor, he has joined the crew even though he is still studying. He has rich acting experience and is currently studying acting at Chengdu Film and Television University. He is still a little actor who is only a little famous among some drama lovers in the local city.

I have learned dance and yoga, and my body is very flexible. I can even twist my joints in a very strange way, which is said to be an advanced technique in yoga.

"This is quite interesting, and the name is very similar to the actress Kayako in Ju-gu." Teng Shu looked at the photo in front of him and felt very satisfied.

Twenty-four, still young.

And Kayako herself needs to wear makeup. Although some shots have the makeup of a living person, it is basically enough to shoot a few parts. The rest of the time it is ghost makeup, and then to scare people. However, her young age means youth and good body flexibility, so there is no need to hire stuntmen to shoot some shots.

"It's her. Ask if she has time." Teng Shu took out Fuji Takako's information and put it on the table, then took a bite of noodles. There was noodles in the breakfast buffet of this hotel today. Teng Shu was not a picky person, so he simply chose this noodles. It tastes pretty good so far.

"Okay, boss. I'll let her come for the interview right away." Zoroak had no objection and planned to take out his phone to confirm.

"No need for an interview. She has experience in drama. Just ask her directly if she wants to sign a contract." Teng Shu waved his hand calmly. People who have acted in dramas can't have bad acting skills. Moreover, one of the biggest characteristics of drama actors is their good delivery of lines. It's a pity that Kayako doesn't need too much delivery of lines. After all, most of the time Kayako just makes bubbling sounds.

"Huh? Okay." Zoroark was even more surprised, but after taking a look at Fuji Takako's information, Zoroark didn't say anything, but called the company as Teng Shu requested. Although the information had arrived, the contact still needed to be handled by the company's people, after all, the contract also needed to be drafted in the company.

However, Zoroark also knew that this girl was very lucky to be chosen by Teng Shu, which meant that she was destined to become the star of a movie in the future, and judging from her boss's intention, a sequel might even be made.

You should know that among Teng Shu's current works, there are no other sequels except Sherlock Holmes, but Zoroark has already seen Teng Shu writing the script for Ju-Jun 2.

At this moment, Teng Shu was indeed thinking about the script of Ju-Jou 2, while chatting with Shizuka.

Teng Shu has had some contact with Shizuka during this period, and the relationship between the two seems to be warming up. However, Teng Shu is busy filming a movie, and Shizuka is busy handling official business of the alliance, so the two have not met for the time being, so this layer of window paper has not been broken yet.

"Guizi!" A woman rushed into the cafeteria of the Film and Television University and shouted anxiously. The voice made the students who were having breakfast couldn't help but look over.

"Mom? Why are you here?!" Fujikiko stood up hurriedly, then supported her mother and asked with some confusion.

Seeing her daughter there, Fuji Takako's mother also showed a happy smile, but after looking around, Fuji Takako's mother still pulled Fuji Takako out to a remote corner outside where no one was there.

"Takako! You're going to be a big star!" Fuji Takako's mother whispered excitedly. Fuji Takako blinked, a little confused, not quite understanding what her mother meant.

Could it be that something happened to the crew, or is the crew's previous drama going to win an award?

"Hey, Takako, come on, come back with me quickly, we are going to buy tickets to the Hoenn region today!" Fuji Takako's mother said happily. Fuji Takako was stunned for a moment, and his brain was working fast.

Hoenn?

Fujikiko thought of what her mother had told her yesterday. The famous director Teng Shu needed to recruit an actress to play the female ghost in his next film. The requirement was that she had learned yoga or dance, and she just met the requirements, so her mother submitted her information.

"Is it Director Teng Shu?!" Fuji Takako said with some surprise.

"Well! Director Teng Shu immediately decided that it was you and asked you to sign the contract!" Fuji Takako's mother said excitedly. That was the great director Teng Shu! He was the most famous new director in the entire film and television industry, and he also mastered a top black technology. He could be said to be the strongest director in the film and television industry. Many people were asking Teng Shu for help.

Moreover, Teng Shu is very good at promoting people. The pay of those who participated in the filming of his movies was more than doubled at the lowest level.

Moreover, his own daughter played the leading female role. Although she was a female ghost, it was still a big opportunity for her to show her face.

Fuji Takako was also very happy. She wanted to cheer, but considering that walls have ears, she remained quiet. Then she took out her cell phone, asked for leave from her class teacher, and hurriedly followed her mother out.

Although Fujitakako is still in college, she knows that people's minds are unpredictable. There are many classic cases in the Film and Television Academy where people have been maliciously reported and rumors have been spread.

Although Director Teng Shu designated her, what if she was intercepted by someone else midway?

So Fujikiko suppressed her emotions until she got into her mother's car, then she smiled happily.

"A female ghost?" Fujikiko looked at the mirror and touched her face.

She doesn't look like a female ghost, so why did Director Teng Shu choose her? It's really puzzling.

But no matter whether it is a female ghost or a male ghost, as long as Director Teng Shu takes a fancy to her, she will try her best to play the role well and will never disappoint Director Teng Shu's expectations!

Chapter 317: Nightmare Possession

"Are you Fuji Takako?" Teng Shu looked at the girl in front of him and recognized her identity at a glance. After all, the other person's face was very recognizable to Teng Shu. The reason was that Kayako in the previous life's The Grudge was also played by Fuji Takako. The most classic image was Kayako played by Fuji Takako.

The only drawback is that she is still somewhat pretty after putting on makeup, so when used to shoot horror movies, it always makes people feel that the horror atmosphere is a little lacking.

"Yes, I'm Fuji Takako, director Teng Shu, and I'm very happy to work with you on a movie!" Fuji Takako extended her hand and shook hands with Teng Shu, who nodded. She had a good personality and a good voice, although Kayako didn't need to talk much.

"Suppose that you are a female ghost who died with her neck broken, what kind of sound do you think you should make?" Teng Shu asked Fuji Takako with interest. Fuji Takako's mother looked at her daughter worriedly. Director Teng Shu's question really made people wonder how to answer it.

Although they have signed the contract, director Teng Shu obviously has some other ideas.

After hearing this, Fujikiko subconsciously touched her neck.

Broken neck?

In this case, I am afraid that it is impossible to make normal sounds, that is to say, it is impossible to speak normally, the sound will be directly restricted, and when the human vocal cords are damaged and unable to make sounds, then I am afraid that what can be made is

"Uh huh." Fuji Takako made a tentative sound. Teng Shu didn't say anything after hearing it. The sound was not bad, but it was still a little lacking.

However, Teng Shu was not dissatisfied. After all, the question of what sound a person's neck would make after being broken was itself a difficult one to verify. Generally speaking, the audience would not have the leisure to discuss what kind of sound a person's neck would make after being broken.

"No, I want you to make a gurgling bubbling sound." Teng Shu put forward his own request. This sound will become a declaration of death to represent Kayako's appearance. Teng Shu wants the audience to develop a habit, that is, as long as they hear this sound, it means Kayako's arrival.

"Click" Fujikiko tried to learn it, and Teng Shu nodded with satisfaction. This was the sound he wanted.

Seeing Teng Shu nod, Fuji Takako and her mother breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that Director Teng Shu was indeed very satisfied with the voice, and Teng Shu looked at Fuji Takako.

Fuji Takako's appearance is exactly the same as the female character in the previous life of the Grudge, and even the name is the same, which makes Teng Shu sigh a little. Is this fate? Arceus hopes that he can bring the most extreme terror to this world.

However, although Kayako and Takeo Saeki are now cast, Teng Shu still needs some other actors to complete the filming of the movie "Ju-Gong". However, the filming of "Ju-Gong" will have to wait for some time. After all, during this period Teng Shu also needs to attend the Buried Alive awards ceremony to see if he can add a few more trophies to his trophy list.

"Fuji Takako, let me tell you about the background setting of your character, then think about it and tell me what you think of this character." Teng Shu looked at Fuji Takako and said with a smile.

He had discussed this topic with Hai Xin before, but because Takeo Saeki's personality is basically fixed, he didn't need too much character understanding. But Kayako is different. This character is the soul of the Grudge, and Teng Shu wanted to see what Fuji Takako thought.

Fuji Takako was a little surprised, but still sat obediently opposite Teng Shu. Zoroark politely took Fuji Takako's mother out for tea, leaving Teng Shu and Fuji Takako to chat in the office.

After all, it's related to the plot, and even Fuji Takako's mother cannot know the details. Otherwise, if the information is leaked from somewhere else, Fuji Takako's mother may also be blamed.

"Kawamata Kayako, this is the role you are playing this time. She is also the absolute heroine in my new work "The Grudge", although she is a female ghost." Teng Shu said with a smile, easing Fuji Takako's nervousness.

"My current setting for this character is that she was born in an exorcist family. Kayako's mother was a famous shrine maiden in the neighborhood when Kayako was young. And every time someone possessed by an evil spirit comes here." Teng Shu slowly told Fujikiko Kayako's background story, and Fujikiko listened very attentively.

After all, this is the role she is going to play, and judging from what director Teng Shu said, it seems that he is planning to shoot another one. After all, Fuji Takako keenly captured that the stories of Kayako's mother and Kayako's sister are both worth telling.

However, after listening to Kayako's background story, Fujitakako had some strange ideas. She always felt that the character of Kayako was not a simple bad person or evil spirit, she seemed to be more complicated.

Looking at Fuji Takako's thoughtful look, Teng Shu did not say anything.

There is a novel about The Grudge, and there are some details in the novel that are not shown in the movie.

The part that impressed Teng Shu the most was the part where Kayako reunited with her sweetheart Kobayashi.

According to the novel, Kayako appeared in front of Shunsuke Kobayashi, hoping to get comfort and love from her lover, but Shunsuke Kobayashi screamed in fear and ran away, which made Kayako feel even more resentful in her heart, and she gave up her love for Kobayashi and brutally killed him.

And Kayako can actually communicate to a certain extent.

For example, some victims could not understand why Kayako was so cruel and so they questioned her. Kayako's approach was to make the other person experience her own pain and let Takeo Saeki torture the questioner in the same way. As a result, the tortured person felt that it would be better to die, and thus became a new force in the Grudge.

Moreover, in the movie, Kayako was simply beaten and her neck was broken, and it seemed like it only took a few minutes. However, in the novel, Kayako was tortured by Takeo Saeki for a long time before being brutally killed in the end, which brought about such resentment.

However, it is impossible to describe it in too much detail in the movie. If it is too detailed, it will not pass the review, so it can only be brief. At the same time, Teng Shu feels that Shimizu Takashi did not include the plot that Kayako hopes Kobayashi will save her, probably because he wanted Kayako to become more terrifying.

"Director Teng Shu, I think the role of Kayako..." Fuji Takako thought it through and she briefly expressed her thoughts.

Teng Shu also listened patiently, but what surprised him was that Fuji Takako actually felt that Kayako longed for love and attention. Although this was somewhat inconsistent with Kayako's character, it was more in line with the original work and Kayako's own experience.

"Your idea is good, but I hope that your focus on the character will only be instilled in the fragments of the living Kayako." Teng Shu smiled and handed Fuji Takako a diary.

Fujitakako looked at the diary in her hand with some doubt.

"The filming of The Grudge will take some time. It will not officially begin until I attend the film awards ceremony. During this time, I need you to write a diary in your own handwriting, describing your first meeting with Shunsuke Kobayashi, and your love for him, the kind of love that cannot be obtained and a kind of twisted and perverted love." Teng Shu briefly stated his requirements.

Kayako's diary is a way to advance the plot and let the audience understand Kayako's background story, so Teng Shu needs to let Fuji Takako write it herself.

In fact, during filming, some news, newspapers, and even books may be compiled by the program crew themselves, and things like diaries really need to be written by the actors, but the director usually gives a template.

"Okay, I got it." Fuji Takako quickly took over. Teng Shu had just described it in great detail, including the meeting between Kayako and Kobayashi Shunsuke, Kayako's unrequited love, and the final story of Kayako's reunion with Kobayashi Shunsuke. So Fuji Takako felt that she could still write about it.
