Pokémon's Lord of Fear

Although Dame is a unique actor who became famous for playing Sherlock Holmes, it doesn't mean he can't play other roles.

In his previous life, Benedict Cumberbatch went to Marvel to play Doctor Strange. If he were to return to the Sherlock Holmes crew with Doctor Strange's abilities, Sherlock Holmes would probably become a fantasy movie.

Thinking of this, Teng Shu asked Zoroark to call Damu and ask about Damu's recent schedule.

With the popularity of Sherlock Holmes II during this period, Damm's name appeared everywhere, but most of them were in some advertisements, other public service announcements and roadshows. Damm was not seen at other times.

Many variety shows want to invite Damm to participate. After all, as the actor of Sherlock Holmes, he is a super killer at this time when Sherlock Holmes is dominating the TV drama industry. Many of Damm's fans are crazy about meeting their idol, but Damm has not agreed.

This was not only decided by the agent assigned to Damm by Ghost Pictures, but also Damm's own idea.

"There is a difference between variety show stars and performing arts stars. Excellent actors rarely appear on variety shows in order to maintain a distance between themselves and the audience so that they can perform better in acting." This is what Damu meant. Teng Shu was quite satisfied with it. Although variety show stars can also do well and even have higher popularity than traditional performing arts stars, there is still a gap here.

In the entertainment industry's chain of contempt, movie actors often stand at the top and look down on variety show stars below. Even the more famous variety show stars will have a lower status than entertainment stars in some activities.

"Boss, Dam said he doesn't have time during this period." Zoroak said to Teng Shu while covering the phone. Teng Shu nodded, and then asked Zoroak to send the script of "Buried Alive" to Dam first to see if Dam wanted to act. If he wanted to, then he could talk about it. If not, Teng Shu would find someone else.

The champion in the previous variety show competition with tens of thousands of people also had outstanding acting skills. In the final, he performed a scene of eating noodles and watching a show without objects, which shocked the whole audience. In the end, he defeated the second place and won the championship. Now, the opponent has directly become a second-rate star. When the movie he filmed is successful, it will not be a problem for him to become a first-rate star.

However, Teng Shu is still quite confident about whether Damm will participate in the show. After all, Damm is an actor with great aspirations. Some of the time spent on filming the second season of Sherlock Holmes was because Damm was not satisfied with his own performance and wanted to shoot a few more takes. In reality, it was proved that Damm's acting skills have indeed improved.

This is also what Teng Shu is most satisfied with.

Maybe it was the previous suppression and silence that allowed Dam to accumulate enough character, so even though he is extremely popular now, Dam did not get carried away, but walked down to earth step by step on the road of the entertainment industry.

After a while, Teng Shu's cell phone rang. It was Dam calling. He excitedly expressed his desire to star in the movie Buried Alive. Teng Shu didn't say anything, but asked the other party to come over by plane. He planned to shoot Buried Alive at the studio in the Kanto area.

"Boss, is it really okay to shoot two movies at once?" Zoroark asked with some concern. Teng Shu shook his head after hearing this. Of course, there was no problem with this.

Compared with Alien, the movie Buried has a much smaller workload. The whole process is basically focused on the male protagonist who was buried alive, and then through the male protagonist's acting skills, phone calls and communications, it shows a slow sense of despair and suffocation. It can be said that if you can watch this movie, you will feel very dull, giving people a feeling of slowly dying.

"Buried is very short and the script doesn't require many scenes. Most of the time it's Dam's one-man show, so it was shot very quickly." Teng Shu said calmly. Buried in his previous life took about half a month to shoot, which was really short. It was completely different from Alien. It would take one or two months to shoot Alien, but Buried was easier, so Teng Shu planned to shoot two films at the same time. Anyway, for him, the crew was here, and the scriptwriter for Buried wouldn't be too troublesome. He just needed to make a scene, and Dam could just lie down in it and start shooting.

It will not affect the shooting of aliens.

There are even some directors with outstanding abilities who can cut two movies while shooting one play. That's really powerful.

Teng Shu has not yet reached this standard. After all, Alien and Buried Alive are not of the same genre. Alien is a science fiction horror film, while Buried Alive is a thriller film. They are not the same.

"But fortunately, burying alive also contains some horror elements, so maybe I can get some fear value, right?" Teng Shu thought to himself.

The problem of not having major awards is indeed troublesome, just like not winning a championship ring in basketball or not winning the World Cup in football. Even if you are a good player, there will always be people who attack you for not being a qualified football king based on this reason.

Although Teng Shu is rich and doesn't care much about these false reputations, there are always some people who will use this as an excuse to attack him. Once or twice is no big deal, but it is really annoying if it happens too many times. Thinking of this, Teng Shu decided to make an award-winning film and then win an award. Then he won't have to respond specifically every time he is attacked and arouses public opinion.

Very troublesome.

"Go for the prize." Teng Shu touched his chin.

There are a lot of movies produced in the film industry every year, but most of them are unknown, and only a few of them can be released in theaters. Among them, those that are released are often commercial films, or films made purely for the purpose of laundering money.

And some of these movies are made specifically for the purpose of winning awards. These movies are rarely shown in theaters, and when they are shown their performance is generally somewhat different from those commercial films. So it is still a relatively unique type of movie. It can also be understood as an art film. It is relatively rare, but it does exist.

The Pokémon world naturally also has film awards. The most popular one is naturally the Pokémon League Award. The nominations for Best Film have always been very competitive, but Teng Shu is a little confused about what kind of movie he should choose.

Although there were many film awards in the previous life, such as the most famous Oscars, Teng Shu himself was still very clear about the standard of the Oscars.

If the Oscars were fair in the beginning and indeed selected excellent films, then in the later period, it was completely a competition of the magic of the films. (End of this chapter)
