Pokémon's Lord of Fear

Chapter 134: The former high-spirited

After chatting with Huang Heihe for a while, Teng Shu left.

Huang Heihe agreed to become Teng Shu's script editor, but although he was called an editor, Teng Shu actually felt that he was more like a reviewer. After all, the scripts written by Teng Shu himself were very direct and simple detective novels. If he wanted to change them into storyboard scripts for filming TV series, some adaptations would be needed.

And Huang Heihe can help Teng Shu solve this problem.

Teng Shu also offered the other party a salary. He would receive a sum of money every time he reviewed the script. Of course, there was also a special confidentiality contract prohibiting Huang Heihe from revealing the contents of the scripts or using them in his own novels.

"Now that the script and the villain role have been decided, the next thing to do is the set and the selection of the protagonist." Teng Shu was walking on the way home, thinking as he walked.

The absolute protagonist in "Sherlock Holmes" is undoubtedly Sherlock Holmes. As a super detective, Holmes is extremely popular all over the world. When many people mention the word detective, the first thing they think of is Holmes. Anime fans may think of Kindaichi and the elementary school student Conan who never grows up.

The Kindaichi Case Files is also the main reason why Teng Shu plans to personally take charge of filming Sherlock Holmes. After all, some of the cases in Kindaichi are quite scary. When he first watched it, Teng Shu felt scared. Teng Shu thought that perhaps suspense detective dramas could also gain fear value, so he decided to try it with Sherlock Holmes.

But the choice of the male protagonist Sherlock Holmes is a problem.

Teng Shu planned to have the company's employees send audition invitations to those well-known actors with good acting skills, and then see their performance level before deciding who to use.

The other party needs to satisfy the image of Sherlock Holmes in Teng Shu's mind, who is smart and wise, but also a little paranoid. He is not easy to get along with ordinary people and makes people think he is a freak.

The Sherlock Holmes in the original novel has a hooked nose, is 183 cm tall, and has a diamond face, but the TV series naturally does not need to restore Holmes' image so accurately, as long as it is classic enough.

Teng Shu decided to hold more auditions this time. He wanted to find an actor who was most suitable for the role of Sherlock Holmes. Teng Shu had absolute confidence that he could make that actor an international superstar.

Why do good actors pursue good scripts? It is because good scripts have the power to make people famous. The image of Li Yunlong in "Bright Sword" is well-shaped. Li Youbin made Li Yunlong, but Li Yunlong also made Li Youbin.

A good script and good actors complement each other.

"I hope I can have better luck and meet a good actor." Teng Shu stretched lazily.

"There is no work for extras and extras today, so just do whatever you need to do!" In Fukiyose City in the Unova region, Dam looked at the group leaders in front of him who were talking with frustration, with a hint of disappointment in his eyes.

There is no work for extras today, but this is the only chance for a nobody like Dam to act in TV series and movies. If he does, he can even get a box lunch.

Although the lunch boxes for the extras were very simple, consisting entirely of vegetarian food with only one egg as meat, at least they were free and they filled them up.

"Classmates, although you all graduated from the United Motion Picture Academy, you must know that not every student can become an actor in the end. Sometimes, in order to make a living, you have to face the reality." Dam suddenly thought of what the class teacher said on the day of graduation.

The class was full of laughter at that time. Everyone was full of fighting spirit. They felt that people like themselves who graduated from an academy must be different from those unskilled people outside, and becoming actors was just around the corner.

Even if he is not a big star, he will at least be an 18th-tier actor.

The high spirits of his youth eventually led to a bitter fate of being 32 years old and still having accomplished nothing. Dam rubbed his face. He thought he looked good, and in fact, he was indeed good-looking. There were basically no ugly people in the film academy, and Dam was liked by many female classmates.

But what about him now? He is still an ordinary extra. No crew or film crew will choose him in the end, just let him be a passerby.

Dam was unwilling to give up. He tried to add more scenes to himself and tried to find shots to stand out, but it was no use.

The ambitions he had when he graduated have now turned into the numb life of a middle-aged man, working for the sake of work every day. Only every night, when he watches the classic scenes in TV dramas and movies to hone his acting skills, does Dam feel that he is still the once proud graduate.

But in fact, he doesn't even want to mention his identity as a film academy graduate now.

"Oh, I didn't expect you to be a top student at the film school? An academic? Hahaha, no wonder." Thinking of the sarcastic look on the director's face, Dam's heart was stirred.

Now that I think about it, something doesn't seem quite right here.

The worst-performing of his former classmates and friends has now become a stagehand in a film company. Although he has left his status as an actor, at least he has enough food and clothing, and he has also married and had children.

But no one thought of helping him, and he failed all the auditions during this period, and didn't even get the most basic audition invitation.

This is very wrong.

"Am I..." Dam sat in his shabby rental house. There was only enough space for a bed in the entire house. He could walk out by standing up and taking three steps. He could even smell the smell of the toilet here.

But in such an environment, Dam began to wonder if he had offended someone, otherwise why would it be like this.

At that time, he had just graduated and was full of energy and thought that he was a handsome young man. In addition, he was a college graduate, so he was indeed a little arrogant.

But I can't remember how I offended anyone.

"Is it time to give up my career as an actor?" Dam looked at his own face on the phone. He no longer had the youthfulness of his youth, but had more of the vicissitudes of an adult in society, and there was some stubble on his face.

Give it up.
Maybe if he gave up, he could get a stable, ordinary job and support his parents. After graduation, he never gave back a penny because it was very difficult for him to live.

[Breaking news! Mr. Teng Shu, a famous horror film director, is preparing to shoot a new film! The actor audition invitation is being sent.]

A message appeared on Dam's phone.

Director Teng Shu? Dam was stunned for a moment, gritted his teeth, and held the phone tightly with his fingers.

Would you like to try it?
