Pokémon's Lord of Fear
Page 171
Teng Shu is now hesitating whether or not to present Infernal Affairs to the world, but of course Teng Shu himself does not have the time to shoot it slowly. After all, Teng Shu is very busy, and he also has to prepare for the shooting of The Grudge 2. So even if he really wants to shoot Infernal Affairs, Teng Shu will just write a script, and then find a director and let the director shoot it himself.
However, speaking of filming the movie, Teng Shu remembered something else, so the next day Teng Shu returned to the company and found Zoroark.
"Zoroyak, didn't I ask you to prepare the crew of "The First Commandment" before? How is the preparation going?" Teng Shu looked at Zoroak and asked. Hearing Teng Shu's words, Zoroak quickly took out the document and handed it to Teng Shu.
"Boss, regarding the filming of "The First Commandment", the preparations are almost complete, except for the lack of a major director. This is the list of directors the company has found. Please take a look." Zoroark was very efficient. Teng Shu took the list and took a look. He didn't recognize some of the directors on the list, but there were some of their representative works.
This reminded Teng Shu of what happened before. Didn't Zoroark say that a new director was coming to inquire about the position? How come there were suddenly several more candidates?
"Boss, I sent it to that director before, but somehow, other new directors found out about it. After reading the script, several of them wanted to shoot it, so..." Zoroark said helplessly. This matter was also very noisy, and it made Zoroark feel a little troublesome to deal with it.
The corners of Teng Shu's mouth twitched, but looking at the information and works of these directors, Teng Shu still chose to hand "The First Commandment" to a director who was good at shooting profound movies and had four good ratings among the six works he shot. This was also the director who wanted to seek the script in the first place.
The other party is quite capable and has signed a long-term contract with the company, so Teng Shu naturally has to give him some benefits.
Therefore, under Teng Shu's arrangement, the script of "The First Commandment" was handed over to the director named Luo Da. The other party was very excited. He patted his chest and promised Teng Shu that he would definitely shoot "The First Commandment" well and make "The First Commandment" a successful movie in the history of the Alliance film.
"Director Luoda, what kind of story do you think The First Commandment is about?" Teng Shu asked Luoda with a smile while sitting on the sofa. Zoroark on the side served tea and went downstairs without staying to listen. After hearing Teng Shu's question, Director Luoda in front of him also knew that this was a test from his boss.
Although Luo Da is an adult and a mature director who has shot six films, his ability should be no problem, but Teng Shu still needs to see his understanding of the film. You know, even some famous or even long-established directors may affect the final outcome of a film due to different understandings of the script.
"From the script, the movie begins with a seemingly ordinary but mysterious incident of a policeman shooting a murderer, which attracts the audience's attention. As the protagonist of the movie is transferred to the Miscellaneous Affairs Department to deal with supernatural incidents, he also begins to encounter various supernatural phenomena."
“Each supernatural event is presented like a piece of a puzzle. It seems scattered but gradually points to the huge secret hidden behind it. This connection is very important. For example, the inexplicable noise in the swimming pool and the TV turning on automatically all cleverly use people’s fear of unknown things to continuously amplify the sense of suspense. This suspense is not simply created by visual horror, but is based on the unknown logic behind the event, which keeps the audience curious and nervous until the reversal of the final ending.”
"In my opinion, from the perspective of the script, the movie "The First Commandment" can be understood from two aspects, one is that there are ghosts, and the other is that there are no ghosts. However, boss, your script..." Luoda said a lot, and Teng Shu was very satisfied.
Roda saw the uniqueness of the script of "The First Commandment".
The name of the First Commandment is quite interesting. It involves a religious belief in the previous life, so even Teng Shu cannot say too much, but the general meaning is almost the same. Moreover, there have always been many interpretations of the First Commandment. Teng Shu himself is not sure which faction he supports, but Teng Shu personally thinks that there is something fishy in the First Commandment.
After all, those students who committed suicide and all kinds of strange phenomena do not seem to indicate that there are no ghosts. Of course, the meaning of the first commandment itself is also very interesting. The meaning of the name itself is to firmly believe that there are no ghosts in the world, and no matter what happens, this awareness cannot be shaken.
Of course, I actually wavered later.
"When I first conceived the idea of the First Commandment, it was indeed just intended to talk about social phenomena or something, but later I realized that no one would watch it if it was filmed like this, so I simply added supernatural elements. You can understand it as the existence of ghosts." Teng Shu said calmly.
There are many movies that reflect social reality, including those from foreign countries, such as Sammo Hung's "Toilet Hero", or the more famous "Dying to Survive", etc. However, it is not easy to achieve good results, and the setting of the First Commandment itself is rather vague, so Teng Shu simply explained it this way.
Luo Da left, and he left with a large sum of money given by Teng Shu. This time Luo Da will also start shooting a movie, but relatively speaking, the resources may not be so good. Although the script was also written by Teng Shu, it has not been tested by the market before, so there is no way for investors to invest with confidence.
However, there is bound to be a lot of advertisements. After all, these guys are not fools. They can know the quality of The First Commandment by just looking at the script. However, it is obviously different from Teng Shu shooting it himself.
After seeing off Luo Da, Teng Shu could start preparing to shoot the second part of Ju-Jun with peace of mind. The shooting of Ju-Jun 2 would still be in the same place as last time. Teng Shu was still very relieved. After all, he had already bought this place and had not used it for other things before. Now he could start setting up the set as soon as the place was free.
"This time." Teng Shu thought of Fuji Takako. Fuji Takako's acting skills are indeed good. In addition, Teng Shu summoned Kayako as an employee, so Fuji Takako's performance can be said to be a true portrayal of herself. Teng Shu even felt that if he wanted, he could even let Fuji Takako perform on the spot some actions that only the dead can perform.
But after Fuji Takako was possessed by Kayako last time, Teng Shu sometimes felt a little creepy when he saw Fuji Takako's eyes during filming, and this almost essential performance put the actors who acted with Fuji Takako under great test.
This is also one of the main reasons why Ju-Grudge 1 got stuck so many times.
The other actors were not able to carry over Fujitakako's performance.
Later, Teng Shu thought about it and decided to film the actors' loss of composure and panic in order to speed up the filming of The Grudge. Otherwise, Teng Shu would not know when the filming of The Grudge would be finished.
The filming this time was not very easy. Although Kayako is still the protagonist, there is another character, Manami. However, this does not have much impact. Manami's clips will only be represented by the shots shot in the first part. In fact, Manami's actor does not need to appear on the screen. The difficulty mainly lies with Suzuki Kyoko.
The main thing is that Suzuki Kyoko needs to show the kind of chilling madness, which is what Teng Shu wants to see. For Manami, her biggest obsession is the child who was dug out of her body by the beast Takeo Saeki before she was even born.
That's why after Suzuki Kyoko was possessed by Manami, she kept holding a rag doll, because Manami essentially treated this rag doll as her own child.
The unsolvable nature of the curse is also revealed in this part. Obviously, the parents of the Suzuki family had never been to the house of the curse, but because of the two siblings, they were also infected by the curse and eventually died.
Every time Teng Shu saw this, he wanted to complain. If the Grudge was so powerful, why were there still people alive in the entire island nation? After all, the Grudge was such that it would kill even the security guards who had just a little contact with the unlucky guy.
Then according to this logic, as long as we stay with those unlucky guys who enter, Tokyo will probably be deserted in a matter of minutes. After all, some of these unlucky guys are students, and some are from the Metropolitan Police Department. They have to come into contact with others every day, it is impossible not to come into contact with others. Then according to the killing efficiency of The Grudge, countless people would have been sent in long ago.
"Zoroark, come on, let's go to the house of The Grudge." Teng Shu decided to go to the house of The Grudge first. Zoroark's whole body was stiff, but he still forced a smile and followed Teng Shu to the house of The Grudge.
The house of Ju-Glan was very normal, and Teng Shu also hired people to clean it from time to time to keep the house and the surrounding environment clean. After all, this was Teng Shu's own house. Although it was specially used for the filming of Ju-Glan, it also had to be kept in a normal appearance.
After all, many people on the Internet want to check in at the real scene of Ju-Grudge, but Teng Shu has never said where Ju-Grudge was filmed. In addition, the house of Ju-Grudge is a very common single-family house in the Pokémon world, so although some people have speculated on the approximate filming location, it is difficult to find the corresponding house.
"It seems to be well maintained." Teng Shu looked at the house in front of him with great satisfaction.
This house is very normal. No one has broken into it, and no one has taken photos or checked in here. Maybe because there is no one here, the house looks a little eerie.
"Yeah." Zoroark swallowed.
Zoroark had seen The Grudge before, and after that he could no longer look directly at a similar house. Now looking at the haunted house in front of him, Zoroark felt even more creepy.
You know, in order to enhance the sense of fear, Teng Shu arranged the scene where Kayako tears the Pokémon apart with her bare hands, just to prove that there is no solution to the curse.
Walking into the house, Teng Shu touched the railing and found no dust. It seemed that the cleaning staff were working very hard. However, this was not the main reason why Teng Shu came here.
The main reason why Teng Shu came here was because some cleaning staff had reported that there seemed to be someone else living in the house. They looked around but couldn't find anyone, but they were worried, so they told Teng Shu about it. After Teng Shu knew about it, he arranged to come here today to take a look.
There are actually homeless people in the Pokémon League. Some homeless people and people who don't want to pay to rent a house will move into other people's vacant houses. Fortunately, the League does not have a rule that if you live in an empty house for a period of time, it becomes yours, so generally speaking, this situation is rare, but it does exist.
"Zoroyak, do you feel anyone here?" Teng Shu looked around. He had already walked through the entire room and didn't see anyone. Moreover, the living facilities here had not been used for some time.
But it’s hard to say. What if someone uses this place as a place to sleep?
"I don't sense anyone at the moment." Zoroark shook his head. It really didn't sense the breath of a living person.
Teng Shu thought of something.
In order to film the Grudge, the second floor was specially decorated, and the closet can be opened to the ceiling above, so
"Zoroyak, go look at the ceiling and see if there is anyone there." Teng Shu felt that the only place in this house where someone could hide was the ceiling.
Hearing Teng Shu's words, Zoroark's face turned pale. Ceiling? Aren't you afraid of coming face to face with Kayako?
Chapter 360 Fugui: I always feel like something is wrong
"Boss, please behave yourself." Zoroark looked at Teng Shu with resentment. Teng Shu's mouth twitched. What is this guy doing?
Teng Shu really didn't intend to scare Zoroark when he asked him to go up, but simply wanted to eliminate the hidden danger. After all, if there really was someone hiding up there, then it would be just right for Zoroark to go up there, and the other party couldn't hurt Zoroark. Otherwise, what if the crew members got injured up there?
Zoroark sighed, then went up again. After a while, Zoroark came back again, looked at Teng Shu's eyes, and shook his head.
There was nothing on the ceiling, let alone Kayako, there was not even a human figure. There was just a layer of dust on it. However, this was normal. After all, the ceiling generally did not need special cleaning, so the housekeeping staff had never cleaned it.
"Maybe it's just an illusion?" Teng Shu scratched his head. He thought that maybe the housekeeping staff remembered it wrong, or some Pokémon found that there was no one here, so it just came in to hang out. Such a thing is possible.
"Boss, can we start preparing for the filming next?" Zoroark said seriously. Ever since it went up and found that there was no one, Zoroark became braver again. After all, there was no one and no ghosts, so what was there for Zoroark to be afraid of? It didn't even tremble.
And Teng Shu also nodded. Now that the actors for The Grudge 2 have been almost recruited, there is no problem in starting filming now.
Zoroark also pulled the curtains shut; the sunlight in this season was still somewhat dazzling.
"Then I'll call the crew and ask them to come over." Zoroark picked up the phone and waited for the crew to come over. Then it wouldn't be scary anymore. After all, no matter what the situation is, more people will always give people courage.
A "bang" sound interrupted the conversation between Teng Shu and Zoroark, and also interrupted Zoroark's actions. Zoroark looked at Teng Shu with a dull look, then slowly raised his head.
Teng Shu also raised his head silently. He also heard that the sound just now came from the second floor, and with the sound as if something fell to the ground, the whole room became quiet.
"Boss..." Zoroark's voice was filled with tears. Teng Shu rolled his eyes. Although he didn't know what was going on, he felt that it couldn't be Kayako. After all, this world was the world of Pokémon, and Teng Shu had already cancelled that function, so it was absolutely impossible for Kayako to stay here. The system did not allow it.
"Rustle." A strange sound of a plastic bag being dragged was heard, and then Teng Shu and Zoroark heard the sound of the door on the second floor opening, and the rustling sound of dragging was approaching the corner of the stairs, which made Zoroark almost cry. Teng Shu couldn't help but feel a little nervous, but he was not afraid of Jia, but afraid of the unknown.
Teng Shu narrowed his eyes. Wasn't this the sound of Kayako crawling? Was it really Kayako? It was unlikely. Teng Shu knew very well that Kayako was fictional. Even if she really existed, she couldn't stay here under the constraints of the system.
Part of human fear is based on the unknown, so in some horror movies, the final evil spirit often does not show up at the beginning, but flashes from time to time, and then hangs around, and when it is almost time, it will jump out with its full face, allowing the audience to see what the evil spirit looks like. This is also to arouse the fear in the audience to the greatest extent.
Teng Shu himself is well aware of this, so the practicality of this theory can be seen from The Grudge.
"Boss, it...it's coming down." Zoroark really cried, and while crying, he pulled Teng Shu's clothes and huddled behind Teng Shu. Teng Shu's mouth twitched, and he was a little speechless. Who is the Pokémon? Teng Shu really didn't understand.
However, looking at the pale hand stretched out from the corner of the stairs, Teng Shu laughed.
Is it really Kayako?
Then it doesn't matter.
"Little Q." Teng Shu held Little Q and spoke calmly. As Teng Shu spoke, Little Q suddenly jumped over and hit Kayako's face directly with a shadow ball as big as a pumpkin, who had just turned her head.
"Hiss!" There was a sharp cry, and then Kayako disappeared. A cursed doll appeared, which made a painful sound and then looked at Little Q with a fierce look.
However, before the cursed doll could do anything, Xiaoye followed up with a move, and immediately beat the cursed doll so badly that it escaped through the wall.
"This cursed doll is really interesting. How did you know the image of Kayako?" Teng Shu was a little curious. He really didn't expect it to be a cursed doll. After all, although Teng Shu had guessed that it might be some Pokémon's doing, he really didn't expect it to be a cursed doll. After all, this kind of Pokémon didn't seem to have such an illusion.
The entire Pokémon Zoroark wanted to crawl under the sofa. After all, it was a ghost Pokémon, and it was really embarrassing to be scared like this by a cursed doll.
Teng Shu glanced at Zoroark and said nothing. Instead, he picked up his phone and asked all the crew members to come over. With the arrival of the crew members, the whole room instantly became lively, and Zoroark also calmed down a lot.
"Remember next time, there is no ghost, and isn't Kayako standing behind you?" Teng Shu said unhappily, and pointed behind him. Zoroark turned around and saw Fuji Takako standing there and greeting him with a smile. Zoroark froze and almost screamed.
"Director Teng Shu, thank you very much for being able to work with you again this time." Fuji Takako greeted Teng Shu happily, and Teng Shu smiled and waved.
Fuji Takako is really grateful to Teng Shu. After all, Teng Shu has helped her a lot. Although she only played a female ghost, because of starring in Teng Shu's movie, Fuji Takako still gained some fame in the film and television industry. She is no longer an unknown person and has started to receive film contracts.
Previously, Fuji Takako had starred in a low-budget youth film, playing the supporting female role. They were very satisfied with Fuji Takako's performance. The director even felt that he should not have worried about whether Fuji Takako could perform well at the beginning, and it would have been better to let Fuji Takako play the leading female role directly.
But now that it has been filmed, it cannot be changed.
"Ms. Fujitakako, there are some actions for this performance that you may need to practice in advance." Teng Shu arranged calmly. He is the director, but Teng Shu is also used to expressing his own ideas, especially about some details about the actors, Teng Shu is very strict.
"Okay, director." Fujitakako also listened carefully, without any intention of showing off. However, this time the most famous actor in the entire crew was not Fujitakako, but the man who played Suzuki Tatsuya.
An award-winning actor.
However, the movie star was still on his way, and Teng Shu had no objection. After all, his notification was a little sudden. Although Ju-Ji 2 was almost ready, Teng Shu had not set an exact date, so it would take some time for these actors to come.
The reason why Teng Shu didn't set a time before was not because he intended to show off his status in the film and television industry. After all, Teng Shu's identity did not require such a display. He was just busy dealing with the meteorite crisis at the time, so he couldn't determine the specific time.
"President, these are the things happening in our company right now. Do you need to talk to those teachers about the contract?" While Teng Shu was busy filming the movie, Fugui was sitting in his office dealing with the affairs of Shonen Manqing.
Fugui nodded, watched the other party leave respectfully, and then lay down on the chair.
The feeling of being a leader doesn't seem to be that good, and Fugui even feels a little nervous, but for now, Fugui is handling it with ease. What makes Fugui feel a little subtle is that the knowledge he learned in college is not so suitable for application in the company's template.
When Fugui first came in, he wanted to use some of the methods he had learned in school to set up templates to make the company's personnel management more efficient. However, after Fugui really studied the company's financial statements and work reports, he realized that he had thought too much. If he really did it according to Fugui's previous ideas, it would most likely be a mess.
This also made Fugui quickly realize that the knowledge in books was only theoretical. In fact, a lot of practice was needed to integrate it and summarize a set of theories of his own. As for Fugui, he was very glad that he had a trainer like Teng Shu. After all, the trainer was really rich and let him manage the company directly.
He did not have the experience of being an initial grassroots employee at all, but started from the management level in one step.
However, Fugui also knew that his trainer had some ideas about this. Teng Shu once told him that when Guan Du Manqing was almost done here, he could start working at Dewen Company, starting from the grassroots level and getting familiar with the work content at the grassroots level. This would also prevent him from being deceived when he becomes a leader in the future.
Although it was a bit outrageous for a subordinate to deceive his leader, Teng Shu insisted on doing so. Fugui naturally had no objection, but he was a little curious whether the stories told by his trainer were true.
Teng Shu had previously told Fugui that if one did not understand the grassroots and people's livelihood, one would easily be deceived by others and make a fool of oneself by selling an egg for several thousand yuan. Teng Shu even said that this matter was recorded in history, which made Fugui go back and look through history books for several days but could not find this passage.
Almost kept it awake.
