Pokémon's Lord of Fear

Chapter 17: Dead Silence

During this period, Teng Shu devoted all his time to the filming of the movie, but in fact the difficulty of filming was easier than Teng Shu thought.

The most difficult part of the whole process is the puppet theater. After all, if you want to decorate the puppet theater like in the original work, you need to make drastic modifications. As for the production of the puppets, it is much simpler. You just need to place an order.

There is also a lake next to the mansion, which perfectly fits the setting of the Dead Silence plot.

"Next, I need you to control these puppets, and then slowly turn your heads to look towards this location together. Is that ok?" Teng Shu asked the dream demon in front of him. The other party nodded after hearing it, looking very relaxed.

But that's true, this simple thing is no problem for ghost-type Pokémon.

"Fawu, are the mechanisms for the entire theater ready now?" Teng Shu called Fawu over. Now this was the only scene in the entire movie "Dead Silence" that had not been filmed yet. After filming this part, they could start editing the movie, add the soundtrack and so on, and then send it to the Alliance for review.

"It's ready, boss. I have arranged it into a reusable type according to your requirements." Fawu ran over quickly with a flattering smile on his face.

Teng Shu glanced at Fa Wu. He had been very diligent during this period, even to the point of being flattering. Teng Shu felt that he had to make it clear that he would not accept any unspoken rules, otherwise Fa Wu might send those beauties who dreamed of starring in movies to his bed.

"Fawu, I remember you are about 42 years old?" Teng Shu looked at Fawu. The middle-aged bald man showed a panic expression after hearing this, and then he became more respectful.

"Yes, boss. I'm 42 years old." Fawu rubbed his hands, and sweat kept flowing down his forehead.

"I remember that your previous position in this film company was..." Teng Shu thought for a moment. He didn't know much about his own film company. After all, all affairs were managed by the professional agent sent by his old father, and all he had to do was to make movies.

"General Manager, General Manager and Boss." Fa Wu immediately stated his position.

Teng Shu nodded. Yes, this Fa Wu was the general manager of this film company and was considered a management level in the company.

However, Teng Shu also knew what Fawu was worried about. He had been busy running around during this period, doing all kinds of things personally, which was actually a way of showing goodwill and weakness to him.

When a man is over 40, it is often difficult for him to leave his job, especially when he has a family, a wife, children, and the elderly to support.

Why do many companies like to recruit employees who are already married? Because married employees have all kinds of ties and constraints. Even if they are treated harshly by their superiors, they dare not resign easily. On the contrary, young people who have just graduated from college do not have so many concerns. At worst, they can just resign and look for another job.

This is what is called a midlife crisis.

The House of Law is the poster child for the midlife crisis.

At the age of 42, with a wife and three children to support, and even a mortgage and car loan, he needed this job to support his family, which was the main reason why Fawu was so humble. "You did a good job." Teng Shu smiled and encouraged Fawu, who instantly became happy. He quickly patted his chest and said that these were what he should do.

Teng Shu looked at the excited Fa Wu and felt a little dazed inside. He used to be one of those humble people, but now everything has changed.

"Okay, let the actors get ready, the shooting is about to begin." Teng Shu waved his hand and stopped Fawu's flattery. Fawu was thinking too much.

As for Fawu, Teng Shu had no intention of asking the other party to quit. The other party's performance during this period was not bad, at least he did not look like he was just slacking off. Teng Shu did not mind letting the other party continue to work well, as long as he did not do anything to help him.

Soon the actors were in place. The male lead Jamie and the detective still needed to test their acting skills, but the special actress who played Mary Shaw had a much simpler job. She only needed to put on makeup and speak her lines.

As for other special effects shots, all of them were starred by Meng Yaomo.

Yes, in the key shot of Mary Shaw, Meng Yaomo herself stood out, and her special effects performance was very realistic. Teng Shu specially gave Meng Yaomo an extra salary for this.

"Cut!" Teng Shu was a little helpless, and suppressed laughter was heard from the set. The detective actor patted his butt awkwardly and stood up.

When he saw the special effects show of the Dream Demon just now, he was so scared that he sat down on the ground with his mouth wide open.

The Dream Demon stuck out its tongue triumphantly, and Teng Shu noticed that the Dream Demon was twisting around happily. When the Dream Demon saw Teng Shu, it embarrassedly covered its face, then looked at Teng Shu through its fingers, and found that Teng Shu was not angry, then it became lively again.

"Xiao Mu, if it was really Mary Shaw, you would have lost your tongue and chin now." Teng Shu looked at the actor who played the detective with displeasure. The other party hurriedly apologized to Teng Shu, but Teng Shu did not care. Anyway, it was the last segment. As long as the puppet theater scene was finished, Dead Silence would be completed.

After Xiaomu was mentally prepared, this segment in the puppet theater went smoothly. The aisle where Jamie and the detective fell was also a specially made mechanism. Teng Shu planned to make the puppet theater into a famous haunted house, allowing tourists to experience Jamie's escape journey firsthand.

In this way, the Puppet Theater can make considerable profits. Even if the popularity of Dead Silence fades in the future, Teng Shu can convert the theater into other horror scenes.

"Okay, thank you all for your hard work. Now I declare that the filming of "Dead Silence" is finished!" Teng Shu clapped his hands happily, and the staff and actors around him all laughed. Some people even shouted excitedly.

Among them, the actors who stood out were Jamie's actor and the detective's actor. They both saw the potential for the film to develop. It can even be said that this film could set off a terror craze in the Hoenn region and even in the Pokémon League.

By then, as the main actors, they will naturally be able to soar to fame with this movie. At the very least, their pay will increase and they will receive more announcements. They will no longer be the unknown people who worked hard but left with nothing.
