Pokémon's Lord of Fear

Gurusha was a little disappointed, but still grateful to Teng Shu. Then the other party sighed and left with a tired body.

Teng Shu was helpless seeing Gulusha's sad look. Although some diseases in the Pokémon world are relatively easy to cure because of these magical Pokémon, the problem is that there are also some diseases that cannot be cured.

For example, Gurusha's legs are a case in point.

After taking a sip of the teacup in his hand, Teng Shu left the teahouse with Zoroark. Now that Gulusha's matter was resolved, he also needed to go and see the actors who came to audition this time.

Then decide on the actors as soon as possible so that you can start filming the ghost call.

The popularity of Dead Silence has dropped a lot in recent times, but with Teng Shu's team releasing the short film "After Turning Off the Lights", Dead Silence has gained some popularity again. However, Teng Shu feels that it will not be long before Dead Silence is taken off the screen.

After all, horror movies have always been a niche genre in the Pokémon world.

Unless Teng Shu allows Dead Silence to continue to be released and then try to gain some popularity, but Teng Shu feels that this is unnecessary.

I have a cold and fever today, but I still forced myself to come here and write a chapter. However, my head really hurts, so I guess this is the only chapter I can write.

If things get better later, I will continue to write a chapter. If not today, I will make it up tomorrow.

Chapter 66 Ghost Call

Teng Shu finally finalized the actors for the male and female protagonists, both of whom have excellent acting skills and whose temperaments are more suitable for horror films.

The only trouble was the little actress who played Mimiko Mizunuma.

After all, Mimiko Mizunuma is a villain, and Teng Shu has high expectations for her, requiring her to be able to perform in a way that is two-faced.

In the end, Teng Shu also found a solution.

"You're going to play Mimiko Mizunuma?" Teng Shu looked at Zoroark in surprise.

Yes, Teng Shu's solution was to let Zoroark play Mimiko Mizunuma, or rather, it was Zoroark himself who proposed it.

"Hiss, cough, cough, save me, mother." Zoroark instantly turned into a little girl with black hair. She looked at Teng Shu with eyes full of desire to survive. She stretched out her hand tremblingly, and her face was very pale, as if she was going to die in the next second.

Then she sat up from the ground and looked aside with jealousy and resentment, as if she was looking at her sister.

"Boss~ How's my acting?" Zoroark changed back into a secretary and said with a proud look on his face.

"Very good." Teng Shu nodded. This was indeed impeccable. And there was no need for makeup to make Mimiko Mizunuma act out the feeling of suffocation.

"So should we~" Zoroark rubbed his fingers with a mercenary expression on his face.

Teng Shu readily gave a standard market salary, and Zoroark's eyes narrowed into slits with joy.

Teng Shu knew at a glance that Zoroark must be looking to spend money to play games again. This guy is a game nerd, obsessed with all kinds of games. Except for working hours, he plays games all the time.

Even in the dead of night, Teng Shu could see Zoroark getting a pentakill in the Pokémon Canyon.

Now that the actors have been confirmed, it's time to officially start filming.

"Zoroark, has there been a call from the Pokémon Center?" Teng Shu sat in the director's seat, then thought of Zoroark, whom he had sent to the Pokémon Center yesterday, and asked quickly.

"Not yet, boss. I'll let you know if there is one." Zoroark shook his head and Teng Shu pinched his eyebrows.

It couldn't be that Xiao Q had caused some problems, right? But it seemed possible.

After all, Xiao Q has been eating Fear Cubes every day during this period, and his strength has been continuously improving. In addition, Xiao Q attacked without reservation and it was attribute restraint, so it was normal for Suo Cailing to be seriously injured.

Well, let’s wait until the filming is finished and go see Suo Cailing.

"Then let's start shooting the first segment of "Ghost Call"!" Teng Shu raised the microphone in his hand and shouted loudly.

In an instant, the camera fell on a busy urban exterior, and then aimed at a store and the mobile phones placed inside. Then the lens switched and cut to the scene of the heroine and her friends having dinner, and Yumi was lighting a cigarette.

Teng Shu sat in the back and watched. This scene was performed very well and the actors' acting skills were also pretty good. However, for the sake of later editing, Teng Shu still asked the actors to keep one line.

The story continues to move forward.

Yumi was making a fire, but she didn't dare to look at the small hole of the fire. A man next to her smiled and guessed that Yumi had some psychological trauma about the small hole, which made her afraid of the small hole.

Teng Shu took out a pen and paper and wrote down some notes for post-production editing. When the movie was being edited, a quick flashback would be inserted here to prove that what the man said was correct and to lay the first foreshadowing.

The plot was still advancing. When the man was telling the horror story, the camera fell on Yumi. At this moment, a small hand appeared on Yumi's shoulder, and the next second the small hand retracted. Yumi turned around and saw her friend Yoko.

Then the man continued to tell his story, and when he finished, Teng Shu also shouted "click".

"Okay, let's go to the second scene now." Teng Shu waved his hand and said to the actors present.

The stagehands and actors quickly followed Teng Shu to the second scene, the toilet.

The toilet has appeared in almost every horror movie, and this place seems to be particularly suitable for some dangerous things to happen, but Teng Shu has his own understanding of the toilet.

A toilet, especially an empty one at night, can easily arouse people's inner anxiety. Choosing a toilet for the second scene is also a simple foreshadowing for the horror elements that follow.

"Have the sound effects been changed?" Teng Shu asked the props team. The props team nodded quickly to indicate that they had been changed. Only then did Teng Shu continue to shoot the next scene with satisfaction.

In the bathroom, Yumi and Yoko were talking about Yoko's funeral. Yoko was using the bathroom while Yumi was washing her hands. During this time, Yumi also asked how the person died. The dim bathroom also had an uneasy atmosphere.

Then, a strange cell phone ringtone was heard in the dim toilet. Yumi turned her head and saw that it was Yoko's cell phone ringing, so she reminded her, but Yoko said that it was not her cell phone ringtone.

In the empty toilet, the strange music was still echoing, and Yoko came out at this time. She picked up her mobile phone and found that the call was from her own mobile number.

But after listening to the message, I heard Yoko's voice, and the message was left in the future, not now.

Teng Shu watched this scene excitedly.

In Ghost Call, this part of the plot actually doesn't have many frightening moments, it's more like a suspense segment, but it also paves the way for the follow-up, and also leads to the fact that this time the evil spirit kills people with the help of a mobile phone.

Moreover, it has a very sassy murder preview, using the victim's own voice and a specific time to complete this incredible evil spirit killing method. This design was very clever even at the time, not to mention that the Pokémon League is not very good at making horror movies.

"Come on, save one." Teng Shu looked at the toilet scene after it was filmed and was very satisfied, but he still asked for a save.

"Boss, will there be a sequel to this?" Zoroark walked over and asked Teng Shu excitedly.

"Not in the short term." Teng Shu shook his head.

The plot of the first part of "Call on Me" was very good and cleverly designed, but the second part was filmed in a different location and was not as scary enough. The third part instead borrowed from European and American plasma films, with large-scale deaths, which Teng Shu didn't like very much either.

Chapter 67 Teng Shu: If you are not scared enough, then just

There is a vicious circle in the film industry.

If a good work is made into a sequel, it is rare that the sequel can satisfy the audience, and even rarer that it can surpass the first one.

There may even be a problem where the quality of the film gets worse the more it is shot.

Among them, the more well-known is the Saw series. The first Saw is a very excellent masterpiece, but the later ones get worse and worse. However, investors are still willing to invest because as long as they use the Saw IP, they can make a lot of money.

There is also the unlucky Jason, who died again and again, but because of his high popularity, he was resurrected again and again, and later even killed his way into the universe.

However, careful viewers will find that the director and screenwriter of these sequels are often not the same person, because the investors have replaced the director and the scriptwriter. After all, excellent directors are often unwilling to make bad movies.

Teng Shu didn't have any concerns in this regard.

He is the one who is rich and willful.

Teng Shu felt that this was quite good. At least he would not be forced to make a bad movie. He was the biggest investor in the entire film industry. Who had the ability to force him to make a bad movie?

Even when someone wanted to buy the copyright of Dead Silence before, Teng Shu did not agree, because he did not want these people to take his work and turn it into Dead Silence 2 or Dead Silence 3. By then, although careful viewers will find that the director is not him, there will always be people who think that Teng Shu has fallen and started making bad movies.

"Click! Next, let's prepare the scene for the TV station!" Teng Shu stood up.

It is night now. Although the Pokémon in the weather team can pray for rain or snow, it is still difficult to turn night into day.

But this also brings up a problem. If the battle takes place at night, wouldn't the Sunny Day Team be completely scrapped?

[Xiaozhi commanded Charizard to use Sunny Day]

[Because it was night, the sunny day failed]

emmmm

There doesn't seem to be such a setting in the game, but when I think about using sunny days at night to make the sunlight stronger, it always feels a bit strange. Could it be that it makes the moonlight stronger? After all, the moon also reflects the light of the sun.

Teng Shu shook his head violently and put these strange thoughts behind him. Now was not the time to think about scientific issues.

Now the crew has arrived at the Nianguang City TV Station to shoot an evening scene.

In fact, indoor scenes do not have such strict weather and time requirements, after all, they can be set up. However, considering the limited energy of the director and editor in post-production, and the fact that the audiences are so resourceful that they watch movies through a magnifying glass, in order to avoid his own movies appearing in some strange "movie bloopers", Teng Shu can only be a little strict.

Although there are some programs on TV stations in the evening, the crew has already communicated with the TV station in advance, so it is not difficult to reserve a shooting location.

With the arrival of a group of extras, the first high-energy scene of Ghost Call also arrived.

Teng Shu watched intently, and then shouted "Cut" more than a dozen times in the middle of the film, all because the actors' eyes did not express themselves well enough.

"Xiaohong, your eyes need to show a little more fear and despair, okay?" Teng Shu said earnestly, looking at the supporting actress in front of him.

The other person rubbed his red eyes and nodded vigorously.

She failed more than a dozen times in a row. Although others didn't say anything, she felt very embarrassed. She was also afraid of losing the opportunity to play the supporting actress. You know, Teng Shu is a new director who has squeezed into the big directors with just one work.

However, looking at Xiaohong's appearance, Teng Shu also had a headache.

This scene is one of the more frightening parts of the movie “Call.” It’s not particularly scary, but in the context of the entire movie, it’s still scary enough.

This supporting actress needs to be killed by the evil spirit on TV, in front of everyone and with the exorcist powerless, to show how helpless Mimiko is.

Further amplifying the fear.

This is also a common technique used in many horror movies from island countries.

That is, the evil spirit is extremely powerful and kills people for no reason. Such indiscriminate killing is likely to cause fear among people.

It’s just that the supporting actress’ eyesight has always been not so good, and looks a little dull.

"Zoroak." Teng Shu called Zoroak over, and he decided to find a way to solve this problem from Zoroak.

After all, fake fear is not as scary as real fear. If Teng Shu wants to achieve the effect he wants, he has to use some tricks. Otherwise, with the acting skills of this female supporting role, Teng Shu doesn't know how many times he will have to cut.

".Is it okay?" Teng Shu told Zoroark about his idea, and then Teng Shu saw that Zoroark's eyes were glowing, and at the same time a dark purple light flashed by, which made Teng Shu stunned for a moment.

"Of course no problem! But it costs money." Zoroark said excitedly. Teng Shu nodded. As for adding money, this problem is simple. Things that can be solved with money are not a problem.

Watching Zoroark happily making preparations, Teng Shu stared at Zoroark's back. He just saw a dark purple light in Zoroark's eyes.

That is the characteristic of ghost-type moves. Whenever Gengar used his ability before, there would be this dark purple light.

But isn't Zoroark a Dark-type Pokémon?

"Maybe it learned some ghost-attribute moves?" Teng Shu didn't think much about it. It wasn't surprising for a Dark-type Pokémon to know ghost moves. The Zoroark that Teng Shu had trained before had also learned Shadow Claws.

Soon, Teng Shu focused his attention on the shooting scene.
