Pokémon's Lord of Fear

In my previous life, after turning off the lights, the filming was basically done at home, and the props and scenery were not important at all. The only things that needed special preparation were the ghost shadows after turning off the lights and the lighting arrangements.

"Get ready." Fawu pointed to the back, where several elderly people were already standing with Poké Balls in their hands.

"I remember it's going to be dark, right?" Just as Teng Shu was about to start preparing for the filming, Gengar's voice came from his shadow.

Teng Shu glanced at the sky. It was daytime now, but in fact, the exterior view of the house could be shot at night, and the interior could be decorated as it was.

"Yes, we need it at night, but..." Teng Shu was about to say something.

Gengar let out a strange, eerie laugh.

Then it crawled out from the shadow of the vine tree, twisting its body, and boundless darkness spread from its body to the surroundings, enveloping the entire house in almost an instant.

Teng Shu looked at it in astonishment.

"Now, it's dark."

Chapter 52: Filming after turning off the lights

"It's really getting dark." Teng Shu looked around and couldn't help but sigh.

The power of Pokémon is really amazing. It actually turned the entire house and its surroundings into a dark environment, but it also caused some trouble.

The staff were frantically turning on the lights, and some Pokémon were trembling with fear from the sudden change in light and darkness.

They are not afraid of the night, but they are afraid of the existence that can cause such darkness.

"Boss, the company has already applied for the [Local Climate Change License] from the Kanaz City Alliance Office yesterday, so there is no need to worry about causing any trouble." Zoroark walked over and said to Teng Shu.

"Yeah, I know." Teng Shu looked at Gengar, feeling a little amused.

This guy Geng Gui is really terrifyingly strong.

But it’s better this way, we can get it done in one go.

"Mr. Gengar, can the rain-praying weather function be used normally?" Teng Shu asked Gengar.

Although I don’t know how Gengar did it, the right thing to do is to take advantage of this opportunity to shoot.

"Of course." Gengar floated beside Teng Shu, its eyes fell on Jigglypuff.

It had read the script and knew that this was the Pokémon that would partner with it this time. At this moment, Jigglypuff was curled up in its trainer's arms, looking at it timidly.

The rising fear satisfied Gengar.

It took a deep breath, and all the emotions of fear and panic were absorbed into its stomach. Gengar patted its stomach contentedly.

"Let the meteorological team start praying for rain. Just a light rain will be enough." Teng Shu pinched his eyebrows and said to Fawu. After hearing this, Fawu immediately started directing the meteorological team to make it rain.

As the Pokémon used the rain-making move, light rain soon fell from the sky. Teng Shu also shot the exterior of the house from several angles, and then it was time for the main film.

However, it was just a matter of one or two seconds, but Gengar made such a big noise that Teng Shu still felt a little amused and helpless.

"Now let's go over the plot, Jigglypuff..." Teng Shu called over the two actors and explained things to them, but when he was explaining Jigglypuff's plot, he noticed that Jigglypuff was already trembling.

Teng Shu paused, then looked at Jigglypuff's trainer.

Jigglypuff is the Pokémon of this trainer. Teng Shu had seen it when he was looking at the actor's information before. Jigglypuff is a member of an opera troupe and has a solid foundation in opera, so he passed the audition and got the invitation.

But now, before the filming even started, Jigglypuff was scared like this. This is not okay.

"I'm sorry, Director Teng Shu, let me give you some advice." Jigglypuff's trainer quickly apologized to Teng Shu, then took Jigglypuff over, patted Jigglypuff's head comfortingly, and whispered something.

Teng Shu shook his head and said nothing.

Although there are many professions that Pokémon can have, because there are no special Pokémon movies in this world, the Pokémon here probably appear most often in commercials, and even in commercials, there are not many scenes that require acting skills.

This results in very few Pokémon characters having decent acting skills.

After a while, Jigglypuff's emotions finally stabilized a little.

"Okay, let's start shooting the first segment." Teng Shu waved the sign in his hand, and the camera, lighting and props teams quickly took their positions.

Teng Shu looked at the camera.

In the picture, accompanied by the faint sound of rain in the background, Jigglypuff walked out of the bathroom wrapped in a bath towel. Then it walked to the corridor while wiping its hair, humming a song, and then turned off the lights.

The moment the lights were turned off, Gengar instantly appeared in the dark corridor.

A strange and twisted figure stood quietly in the corridor. An invisible aura of fear spread instantly, and Teng Shu, who was standing behind, felt a chill in his heart.

And Jigglypuff was even worse. The moment it turned around, it let out a sharp cry and directly shattered the light bulb in the corridor.

"Cut!" Teng Shu could only shout cut.

"Mr. Gengar, please take it away." Teng Shu looked at Gengar helplessly. Gengar was laughing, and from its smiling eyes, it could be seen that Gengar was very happy.

But then again, ghost-type Pokémon love to play pranks.

Little Q was excited.

It kept climbing up and down the vine tree, looking eager to try.

However, he was suppressed by Teng Shu, and there was no role for Xiao Q this time.

"Hehehe, okay." Gengar laughed sinisterly, then blended into the shadows again.

Teng Shu looked at the trainer who was comforting Jigglypuff again, and waited for the other party to raise his hand for a signal before continuing the filming of this segment.

After getting out of the bath and turning off the lights, Gengar's strange figure once again appeared in the shadows.

But this time, without the influence of the fear aura, the degree of fright was not very high.

There was a confused expression on Jigglypuff's face. It turned on the light, and Gengar disappeared. It turned off the light again, and Gengar's figure reappeared.

After going back and forth several times, at the moment when the lights were turned off, a twisted ghost with hair made up of teeth and eyes, standing with his back to him and with pale skin suddenly appeared next to Jigglypuff.

The light bulb broke again.

All the staff present looked at Teng Shu, who was a little conflicted.

Jigglypuff's reaction is a bit exaggerated, but it's not useless. After all, the reactions to being frightened are different, and the fear of seeing a ghost coupled with the sudden scream after the silence creates a strong impact in both visual and auditory aspects.

"Let's save one." Teng Shu still decided to shoot another segment, and in this segment, Gengar changed his look again, but as expected, it scared Jigglypuff and made him scream loudly.

Teng Shu took two more shots, and then began to advance the following plot.

Jigglypuff returned to the room trembling. He used tape to cover the lights in the corridor to prevent them from being turned off. However, when he was lying on the bed, he heard a squeaking sound coming from the corridor, as if someone was walking in the corridor.

Then the lights in the corridor went out.

Jigglypuff instantly hid under the quilt, trembling all over. The corridor was pitch black and he could not see anything. Only the bedside lamp was flickering, which increased the atmosphere of fear.

Jigglypuff stretched out his short hands and tried to plug the loose socket.

There is nothing unusual about the original film here, but Teng Shu added a little bit of what was in his mind.

In the camera, a hand covered with corpse spots slowly stretched out from under the bed and grabbed Jigglypuff's hand. But at the moment it was about to touch Jigglypuff's hand, Jigglypuff had already plugged it into the socket, and the hand disappeared in an instant.

The room returned to silence and the lights in the corridor came on.

It was as if everything that just happened was an illusion.

It wasn't until Jigglypuff poked his head out that he saw the horrible monster reaching out to turn off the light.

Chapter 53 Lao Si Ji

"The glass is broken?" Teng Shu looked at the shattered glass windows in the bedroom, then looked at the embarrassed Jigglypuff and the other trainer.

It’s worthy of being called Jigglypuff.

"It's okay, it's okay. The sound will be cut off in the end." Teng Shu waved his hand without much concern. It was just window glass. It would break if it did.

However, Jigglypuff's appearance gave Teng Shu a little more confidence.

Even Jigglypuff was scared like this, I wonder if it will scare the Pokémons if I turn off the lights and put it online?

"No, it won't work if we put it on the Internet. After all, not many Pokémon use the Internet. Maybe I can show it for free." Teng Shu looked at Jigglypuff thoughtfully.

It is not easy to let Pokémon see this movie, after all, not all Pokémon can access the Internet, but maybe he can try to show it for free, or spend money to put it on city building advertisements, on projection screens, etc.

We can even form a professional outdoor screening team to screen the short film in places where wild Pokémon gather more.

"Hmm?" Teng Shu thought of something, he took out his cell phone, and then asked Zoroark to start cleaning up and rearranging the scene. A group of human actors would come here later to shoot the human version after turning off the lights. At that time, they would do both and try to draw as much fear as possible.

Teng Shu opened the [Hoenn horror movie fans exchange group] on his phone.

[Is being a nympho illegal?: Repairing a car requires skill. You can’t repair it too fast or too slowly. You can only fix the problem of the vehicle by repairing it rhythmically. It is best to carefully inspect the two headlights of the car by hand.]

【噔梓奕洋: Crazy female master! I understand! 】

[Dead silent tap water: Your best suggestion is to repair the car! ]

As soon as he opened the group, Teng Shu felt as if he was hit in the face by a speeding Wuling Hongguang.

"As expected of a nympho, this guy openly drives in the group every day. Fortunately, there is no Miss Junsha in the group, otherwise he would be sent to jail for tea in minutes." Teng Shu rubbed his face which seemed to have tire marks on it, and then couldn't help but complain.

He couldn't help but pick up his phone and start practicing the One Finger Zen technique.

[Presenting a horror film to the world: Slut, why haven't you shown up in four or five days? 】

[Is being a nympho illegal? : Because I found a cute blue boy, and he asked me to milk a big milk can for several days~]

Teng Shu's mouth twitched. You are worthy of me.

Are you sure you are squeezing milk from a big milk can? Why does your milk feel weird, as if something is wrong?

[Presenting a horror movie to the world: I remember there seemed to be a group member who worked in the Alliance Pokémon Management Office? ]

Teng Shu decided to ask about the real matter.

【God of Fun: I am】

Looking at the comments in the group, Teng Shu clicked on the other party's information and had a private chat with him for a few words before putting away his phone.

Teng Shu looked at the busy staff thoughtfully. He had just asked the God of Fun whether it was possible to play movies and short films for wild Pokémon, and the answer he got was that it was theoretically possible.

After all, their management doesn't have any regulations that prohibit playing movies and short films for wild Pokémon, so if there is no prohibition, then it should still be allowed.

"So that means I can really play it for wild Pokémon?" Teng Shu was a little tempted, but if he wanted to try it, he would have to wait until "Lights Out" was edited.

However, this time, Teng Shu only planned to coordinate the editing work, and let the company's post-production staff handle other detailed divisions of labor. After all, to put it bluntly, this is just a short film of less than three minutes, and he only needs to tell those employees his ideas.

"Boss, this time's actors are here." Soon, Fawu brought a human actor, a middle-aged woman. Although she didn't look very good, her acting skills were solid and she had filmed some TV series before.
