Pokémon's Lord of Fear

Chapter 14: Kaluni is also here to make a horror movie?

This is also why actors pay attention to their acting style.

If an actor always plays positive roles, the audience will not be able to accept him playing a negative role and will suspect whether he is an undercover agent.

Therefore, some actors who want to expand their acting range will try different movie roles to avoid being labeled in the minds of the audience, which would affect their future acting careers.

However, there are also some actors who are immersed in their own circle. It can only be said that every actor’s pursuit is different.

In the list of actors auditioning for the male lead, Teng Shu saw two actors who had often starred in horror movies in the Pokémon world. Teng Shu had also seen their movies, and they were both very traditional types of trainers who eventually captured mischievous ghost Pokémon, which did not quite meet Teng Shu's requirements.

"Let's choose this actor." Teng Shu finally decided on a young male actor. He was not too old and just met the age setting of the male protagonist in Dead Silence, who had just gotten married not long ago. He looked pretty good.

Then Teng Shu started watching the actors auditioning for Stepmother and Mary Shaw.

"Boss, there's a special actress auditioning for the stepmother this time." The bald man walked over and Teng Shu glanced at him. He remembered that the man's name was Fawu, a very strange name.

"What's the special method?" Teng Shu was a little curious. Could it be that he had connections? But he was the chief investor and director of this film, and he also had the script. Who else could have connections and come to him?
But then, Teng Shu knew what Fawu meant.

Because he saw a familiar name and a familiar face in the list of actors auditioning for the role of stepmother.

Kaluni.

Kalos Region Champion.

"Hiss" Teng Shu pursed his lips. What the hell, why is there an audition for Kaluni? This person is a top star in the Pokémon world. She looks good, and she is also a champion-level trainer. You can imagine how popular she is.

In the other party’s personal profile, there was a long list of names of movies and TV series that Teng Shu had watched, and even a list of songs that was too long to write down. The level of honor had already reached the maximum.

"Why is this person here for an interview? Huh?" Teng Shu looked at the information in his hand and suddenly found a problem.

Although Kaluni is a well-known actress, the images in the movies and TV shows she starred in are relatively fixed, and she has never starred in any horror movies, so is she planning to expand her acting range?

"How's her acting?" Teng Shu glanced at Fa Wu.

"It's wonderful. We asked her to audition for the scene where she is revealed to be Mary Shaw's puppet. The change in her eyes was amazing!" Fawu was full of admiration, with a flush of excitement on her face.

This is Kaluni, a famous actress and champion. Being able to work with her is something you can brag about for the rest of your life.

Teng Shu raised his eyebrows after hearing this. He had seen a movie of Kalune, which was a very popular Pokémon adventure in this world. Her acting was really good, and some dangerous scenes were shot by her directly. "Is there a video?" Teng Shu decided to take a look. After all, the role of stepmother was quite important.

"Of course there is." Fawu quickly took out his mobile phone and showed Teng Shu the video he had shot. Teng Shu took a look and saw that Kaluni was not wearing any makeup or changing her clothes. She was just wearing her very special outfit. However, after the audition began, her whole impression changed.

Especially that weird smile and eyes, which made Teng Shu feel a little surprised.

"She's the one." Teng Shuli immediately made the decision. A good actor can add a lot of points to a movie, and Kaluni is undoubtedly an excellent actor.

"By the way, how much pay does she want?" Teng Shu thought of another question, the actors' pay.

For a famous actor like Kaluni, the pay is often not too low.

"Boss, the compensation she asked for is very reasonable, three million." Fawu smiled happily, and Teng Shu took a breath. How much?
three million?
You should know that in "Dead Silence", there are actually not many shots of the stepmother. Both the stepmother and Mary Shaw rarely appear on the screen. It is more the male protagonist that appears throughout the entire movie, and of course there is also Mimikyu's puppet.

However, considering Kaluni's fame and strength, this salary seems reasonable. After all, his status is there. Fortunately, his old father gave him a lot of money, otherwise the salary alone would be quite a lot.

After looking at the candidates for the stepmother, Teng Shu saw the actress for Mary Shaw. However, due to Mary Shaw's age, there were not many actors who came to audition this time. Teng Shu also chose one of the elderly actors who also often filmed horror films. He had seen the other's acting skills and found them very good.

In movies, he often plays a mysterious fortune teller, or a living person dressed as a ghost Pokémon. Some of them look like the dragon ladies in Hong Kong horror movies.

After the actors are confirmed, the filming can begin. Teng Shu is already impatient. As long as the filming is successful, the editing is completed, and the soundtrack is inserted, etc., it can be sent for review.

By then, "Dead Silence" will be able to officially meet the audience in the Pokémon world.

"Let's prepare for the filming. Have you communicated the schedule?" Teng Shu asked. It didn't matter to the other actors, as they were all less well-known special actors. Only Kaluni, a big star, had a lot of things to do, so the schedule had to be communicated and her part had to be filmed first.

Shooting a movie is not actually a one-shot process from the beginning to the end. Many times the specific shooting order needs to be determined based on the actors’ schedules, shooting weather, and the time provided by the filming location.

The filming of some big-name actors requires coordination of schedules.

"We've communicated well. Miss Kaluni can give us a five-day schedule." Fawu said with a smile, and Teng Shu nodded. In five days, with the cooperation of a bunch of veteran actors, it won't be a problem to finish filming the stepmother's scenes. It's possible to shoot the ending 2 at the same time and put it on the Internet as a behind-the-scenes footage to attract attention.

"Then let's get ready to start filming and finish the shooting as soon as possible." Teng Shu wiped his hands. He had been feeling a little itchy inside for a while. He was curious about what kind of reward this golden finger would give him?
"Okay, boss." Fawu left in a hurry. He still needed to coordinate the matters of various actors, as well as deal with the music, props, etc. He was very busy.

Fortunately, with the help of Pokémon, some work can be prepared very quickly, otherwise the communication and coordination alone may take a week.
