Pokémon's Lord of Fear

Soon, the actors who came to audition came in one after another. After watching for a while, Teng Shu decided on the two actors who would play Xiao Ming and Fa Mao this time, and also confirmed a bunch of extras.

There are quite a lot of extras in the movie "Old Corpse in the Mountain Village", and the supporting characters who played the psychic game at the beginning also took up some roles.

After the actors were confirmed, Teng Shu handed over the preparation work to Fawu and Zoroark. There was not much content that needed to be adapted for this preparation work.

However, Teng Shu plans to give it a try and integrate Pokémon into the old corpse in the mountain village.

Although the addition of Pokémon will make it more difficult to control the plot of horror films, after all, Pokémon has moves to deal with ghost-type Pokémon, but this time Teng Shu plans to try to make these evil spirits more invulnerable, that is, they can hurt Pokémon, but Pokémon cannot hurt them.

In this case, Teng Shu felt that the level of fear might be even higher.

After all, in the world of Pokémon, people don't have much fear of ghost-type Pokémon because they have the help of Pokémon.

But what if an enemy appeared that even Pokémon couldn't face? That would be a real fear.

When Teng Shu read the film reviews of "Dead Silence" and "Call Me If You Can", he found that people would mention a question when discussing the film, which is, if the protagonist holds a certain Pokémon, would everything be different?

There were even some secondary creations of Gengar beating up Mary Shaw, as well as secondary creations of Mimiko Mizunuma being influenced by Happiny.

Teng Shu realized at that time that for people in the Pokémon world, Pokémon is an unavoidable topic, just like every Corean cannot avoid three stars.

"In that case, how about a scene where Chu Renmei angrily tears the Happy Egg apart?" Teng Shu fell into deep thought. He felt that this idea was not impossible.

It would be better to add a few more scenes where the supporting characters try to resist with Pokémon and then find it useless, to further enhance the sense of fear and establish a more terrifying image of the evil spirits.

Chapter 194 Every episode is a childhood shadow series

"Director Teng Shu, it's an honor to work with you this time~" On the set, Teng Shu saw Kaluni who came hurriedly, and the other party looked at him with a smile.

"Ms. Kaluni, this is not the first time we have worked together, but are you sure you want to play the role of Chu Renmei?" Teng Shu looked at Kaluni in front of him and asked hesitantly.

Teng Shu was naturally very confident in Kaluni's acting skills. In their previous collaboration, Dead Silence, Kaluni's portrayal of a perfect puppet exceeded Teng Shu's expectations and made Teng Shu realize that Kaluni could become a big star not just because of her status as a champion.

It can be said that Kaluni is also one of the champions who is not doing her job properly.

Almost the same as his big brother Daigo.

"Well, this role is quite challenging~" Kaluni said with a smile, and Teng Shu rubbed his eyebrows.

In "Old Corpse in the Mountain Village", the only female protagonist is Chu Renmei, but most of the time Chu Renmei is seen wearing a stage robe with her hair down, so her face cannot be seen.

The few times we can see her face clearly are in the flashback to Chu Renmei's past, when she was falsely accused of cheating by her husband. After that, Chu Renmei's face rarely appears. It can be said that although the role of Chu Renmei is a well-deserved heroine, it is really easy to play, and even a man can play it.

"But this character doesn't have many opportunities to show his face." Teng Shu looked at Kaluni and asked tentatively, but what he got was Kaluni's excited look.

"That's the only way to show your acting skills, right?" Kaluni looked eager to try, and Teng Shu didn't say anything seeing that. Anyway, he had said everything he needed to say. Since Kaluni decided to challenge herself, Teng Shu naturally wouldn't say anything else.

The biggest star in the entire crew is Kaluni, and the others are all smaller stars, including some fourth-tier actors who have some works but are not very famous.

These actors all came to play supporting roles, while the two more important male protagonists, Xiao Ming and Fa Mao, were played by two second-tier stars.

These two have great acting skills, and their appearance is more in line with Teng Shu’s requirements.

The actor who plays Fa Mao has an affectionate face, the kind that makes you feel that this man is very affectionate when you look at his face. However, this is also related to the fact that he often plays the role of an affectionate supporting actor in movies and TV series.

He is the type that as soon as he appears on the stage, the entire audience knows that he is the most affectionate person in the show.

The other party had originally just thought of giving it a try this time. After all, although Director Teng Shu was well-known for his ability to promote people, it was also recognized that he had high requirements for actors' acting skills. Unexpectedly, he was actually chosen, but the role he was assigned was still a sentimental role.

And this time, he was affectionate even when facing evil spirits.

However, the other party is also very confident in this comfort zone. Teng Shu feels that the filming this time should not be very difficult. The only trouble will probably be concentrated on the arrangement of the Pokémon plot.

Teng Shu made some subtle adjustments to the plot arrangement this time. In the middle, there will be a plot in which several supporting characters and the protagonist use Pokémon to try to solve the problem, and then the Pokémon are killed by the violent Chu Renmei.

Further strengthening the unsolvable existence of evil spirits can highlight the horror of these evil spirits and deepen the sense of fear. After all, by then, the Pokémon that people in the Pokémon world rely on most will be useless, so the feeling of powerlessness will naturally be stronger.

"Boss." Zoroark walked over quickly with a script in his hand.

"Well, has Ada started filming?" Teng Shu glanced at Zoroark.

The success of the previous third episode of Sherlock Holmes, The Hound of the Baskervilles, gave Teng Shu some new ideas. Since suspense detective dramas can create a horror atmosphere through this, then Tom and Jerry should be able to do the same.

However, as a cartoon, it is not easy for Tom and Jerry to create a horror atmosphere. And although there are some urban legends about Tom and Jerry, it is rumored that Tom and Jerry once broadcast an episode that was very scary and terrifying, and the rumor has been widely circulated on the Internet.

However, Teng Shu did not really find relevant content about this episode. Some clips circulating on the Internet looked more like secondary creations, so Teng Shu did not choose those. Instead, he chose the episode where Tom mistakenly entered the witch's room and then rode on a flying broom to catch Jerry.

Some people also called this episode a childhood shadow, although Teng Shu himself could not see anything scary about it.

But it doesn't stop Teng Shu from putting some spooky and scary things in the ground to scare people, not to mention.

"Calculating the time, it should be today." Teng Shu's eyes were a little dazed.

Counting the days, today should be the Ghost Festival in the previous life. However, Teng Shu has traveled to this place and doesn't know if it will be useful to worship. Teng Shu hesitated for a moment, then took out the fear sugar cube, placed it in the palm of his hand, and wrote a note on it. After a while, the sugar cube and the note disappeared.

This is how Tenshu and Giratina communicate.

At this moment in the reversed world, Giratina also received the note handed over by Teng Shu.

[Please, Lord Giratina, burn three sticks of incense]

This was Teng Shu's request. Giratina was a little confused, but it did it anyway. After all, it had fear cubes to eat, and it didn't mind helping Teng Shu.

“Even though I can’t go back, burning three incense sticks can be considered as a token of my appreciation, right? And they’re burned by Giratina.” Teng Shu touched his head.

Normally, paper money needs to be burned, but Teng Shu has traveled through time, so it is still a question whether the burned paper money can pass through the dimensional wall, so Teng Shu chooses to let Giratina, who is in the reversed world, burn incense to express his gratitude.

Moreover, in the world view of Pokémon, the Reverse World has the status of a resting place for souls, so it is equivalent to burning paper money in the underworld, which should still be of some use.

"Remember to ask Ada to shoot better and edit it as soon as possible." Teng Shu reminded Zoroark.

Teng Shu still takes this episode of Tom and Jerry very seriously, and he can achieve his two goals in just two episodes.

The first one is naturally to test whether the cat and mouse can get the fear value.

And

Happy Ghost Festival.

Don't go out at night~

Chapter 195 Teng Shu: What revenge could I possibly have?

Zoroark went down to arrange this matter, while Teng Shu began to prepare for the filming of the first act of The Old Corpse in the Mountain Village.

This also leads to a psychic game. A group of supporting characters who are brave enough to commit suicide and strive to be experts in death start playing the psychic game. Only the protagonist Xiao Ming, who has natural inspiration, does not play and escapes.

Chu Renmei also began to kill people indiscriminately.

Directly won the MVP of the game.

However, there is a small pitfall here. That is, people initially thought that it was the work of the psychic game. Only after they met Chu Renmei and learned about Chu Renmei's story did they discover that it was not the psychic game that caused the trouble, and that the water they drank was filled with Chu Renmei's resentment.

As long as you don't drink water, you won't attract Chu Renmei's attention.

That old man is another matter.

"Ms. Kaluni, here you need to stand here with your hair disheveled, and then let your Pokémon use a smoke screen to cover your figure." Teng Shu explained the shooting details here.

Chu Renmei's intermittent appearance perfectly meets the requirements of an evil spirit, but if you want to make Kaluni appear and disappear, you need some other means. Normally, you need scenery and green screen, post-production editing, or just shoot a scene where Chu Renmei is there, then shoot a scene where Chu Renmei disappears, and then edit it.

This is also a common routine in many old horror films. Although it is common, it is also very easy to use. Therefore, even in the era of advanced special effects technology, this editing method is still very common.

"Okay." Kaluni nodded. She appeared at the door of a dark room with the lights off, so she would not be photographed even if a smoke screen was used. Instead, it would serve as a shield, so that the whole scene could be captured in one shot.

With Kaluni's cooperation, the first act ended very smoothly, and Teng Shu was quite satisfied.

It’s just a pity for the extra who died in the first scene. After all, being able to appear in director Teng Shu’s works will increase his chances of success when he seeks other jobs in the future.

There is nothing much to say about the first act of "Next". A minor role is directly killed by Chu Renmei, and Aunt Chu's powerful power begins to show. The second act is what Teng Shu cares more about. Here a supporting character will take out a Pokémon to try to solve the threat of Chu Renmei, but it is useless. Even with the Pokémon around, it can only watch its trainer being pressed to death in the toilet by Chu Renmei.

It is from this scene that the difference between this Teng Shu horror film and previous ones is shown.

Pokémon began to appear in horror movies, and Pokémon, like ordinary people, were helpless in the face of these vicious evil spirits.

The horror of being powerless is the most profound horror.

Just like in a horror game, it’s one thing for the protagonist to have a gun or not, and it’s another thing for a gun to be useful or not.

The reason why the fear of escape is so strong is that the protagonist has no choice but to run and hide when facing those psychopaths. In the Resident Evil series, although players will be scared, the killing is also very refreshing. There is no sense of fear at all in some subsequent works.

So even though there are Pokémon in his horror movies, these Pokémon are powerless. Even if they can resist, they will eventually become a means of entertainment for evil spirits. Only in this way can the most profound fear be created.

"How is the preparation of the Gengar sent by the Pokémon Actors Guild going?" Teng Shu looked at Zoroark with a smile. Zoroark's expression was a little subtle. Sometimes he really felt that his boss was a little petty.

It's just that someone made a secondary creation of Gengar beating up Mary Shaw, but this time the boss directly made Gengar witness his trainer being drowned by Akureyri and was powerless to do anything, and the next one was Happiny being torn apart by hands. It's simply outrageous.

"It's ready." Zoroark said honestly.

This time it is needed to help, after all, Gengar needs to attack Chu Renmei, but finds that those attacks are completely ineffective. However, it is difficult to control the strength, and Gengar can't control it. In order not to hurt Kaluni, Teng Shu lets Zoroark be the special effects artist to create some attack moves. Naturally, the phantom will be of no use, and there will be no need to worry about any problems at that time.

"That's good. Remember to perform better during the filming. I'll give you a bonus then. Isn't the anniversary of the game you've been playing coming up soon?" Teng Shu smiled and patted Zoroark on the shoulder, and Zoroark immediately became motivated.

The boss is right!

The game it's playing recently is about to celebrate its anniversary. As we all know, there are benefits and a lot of pay-to-win activities during the anniversary celebration. If you want to get the anniversary limited characters and weapon decorations, you have to spend money, so Zoroark is indeed short of money.

Seeing Zoroark's ambitious look, Teng Shu felt relieved. This guy Zoroark might be a little weird in life and like to play pranks, but as long as he gets serious, he is still quite reliable.

Teng Shu's phone vibrated and he took it out.

[Shocking discovery! A Pokémon burial ground from ancient times was discovered in the Sinnoh region! 】

It was a push message, but Teng Shu didn't take it seriously.

These days, archaeologists in various regions often discover some strange and bizarre things. People in the Sinnoh region even say that their region was the first to use the Pokémon Encyclopedia, and they insist that the Pokémon Encyclopedia was their invention, causing Pokémon doctors in various regions to mock each other.

Cultured people are very particular about their speech. They don’t use any swear words, but their curses are certainly unpleasant to the ear.

Therefore, other regions are also vigorously excavating ancient ruins, trying to find some historical relics from the past. However, the Sinnoh region does occupy the majority here. They have determined that the previous era was the Xicui region, and related cultural relics are also being excavated.

"I wonder how the other detective's investigation is going?" Teng Shu rubbed his hands. The Magma Team suffered a serious setback when the incident was exposed after passing through the base. Now there are few traces of the Magma Team in the entire Hoenn region, and the Water Fleet has also restrained a lot.

However, what Teng Shu cares more about is whether the water fleet base outside Shuijing City has been found. As long as the water fleet can be severely damaged, then for a period of time, the Hoenn region will not have to worry about the possibility of Groudon and Kyogre waking up.

"Director! The actor for Gengar is here!" But soon, Teng Shu drew his attention back and decided to finish filming the old corpse in the mountain village first.

"Start shooting!" Teng Shu shouted.

Chapter 196: Unsolvable Evil Spirits

"Boss, why did this old man die?" Looking at Gengar who was performing a tacit understanding with Kaluni, Zoroark asked curiously while controlling the illusion.
