Pokémon's Lord of Fear

"You mean, you also want to play a role in Sherlock?" Teng Shu looked at Zoroark in front of him with a strange look. He really didn't expect that this guy Zoroark actually wanted to play a role after the filming of the second season of Sherlock.

Zoroark nodded immediately, and it also wanted to leave its name in such an excellent work. Seeing this, Teng Shu touched his chin. It was not that he did not want to arrange a role for Zoroark. After all, it was a very simple thing for Teng Shu to arrange a role for Zoroark. The only problem was that the second season of Sherlock Holmes had been filmed, and the TV series had been sent to the TV station for broadcast. It was impossible for Teng Shu to reshoot a segment now.

"Then you can only wait for the third season. Remember to tell me earlier next time." Teng Shu pinched his brows helplessly, and then told Zoroark. Although Zoroark was a little disappointed after hearing it, he didn't say anything. He realized this problem after asking the question.

Although their boss is the director and screenwriter of Sherlock Holmes and has the ability to add more people, the problem is that the second season has already been produced, so it is impossible to carry out the filming.

"Okay, we'll start filming the third season when the time is right. Now ask the props team to get things ready, and try to start filming the Alien as soon as possible." Teng Shu looked at Zoroark and comforted his secretary.

Fortunately, Zoroark itself was not too upset. It adjusted quickly and did things according to Teng Shu's requirements. The work speed of the entire prop team also increased a lot. When Dam hurriedly arrived at the shooting site by plane, the entire spaceship had been laid out. After the shooting is completed, the spaceship will be left to the Kanto Alliance as a place to attract tourists.

"Boss!" Damm found Teng Shu as soon as he arrived at the set and spoke with some excitement. Hearing Damm's words, Teng Shu also raised his head. He was working on the script at hand. It would take some time to rewrite the script of Manchester by the Sea.

"You're here so soon?" Teng Shu couldn't help but smile when he saw Dam, who looked exhausted. Then he handed the script of "Buried Alive" to Dam and asked Dam to take a look at it first.

"I came here after receiving your call, boss. After all, your script is so excellent." Dam said sincerely. This time he was not flattering, but was serious. After all, Teng Shu's script of burying alive was indeed quite outstanding. Dam liked it at the first sight. Now seeing a more complete script, Dam was even more satisfied.

For an aspiring actor like Dam, after making money, what he pursues is to improve his reputation. In the world of Pokémon, the highest achievement for a male actor is to win the Best Actor award from the Pokémon League.

Although Sherlock Holmes is also a very good script, Damm himself knows in his heart that even if he can win a TV drama award with this TV series, it will still be regrettable and incomplete. Only an excellent movie, a movie that can test his acting skills, can allow him to win the Best Actor award.

In Dam's opinion, Teng Shu's burial alive obviously had such a possibility.

"Well, this movie is your one-man show. Come on, do a good job." Teng Shu patted Damu's shoulder and handed him a cup of milk tea. Damu quickly took the milk tea with both hands and thanked him repeatedly, which made Teng Shu feel a little amused.

Dam is really too humble.

Dam went to read the script with a cup of milk tea in hand. He planned to specifically study the role of the male protagonist who was buried alive to see if there was anything that could be explored in this role. If it were any other movie, he might also hold a script reading session before filming to let everyone know more about their roles.

But there are basically no other actors in Buried Alive, so the script reading session can naturally be cancelled.

"Boss, here is a business cooperation application that needs your review." Zoroark walked over and said hurriedly.

"What?" Teng Shu didn't care too much. He had received too many business cooperations, and there were even more from Dewen Company, all kinds of them.

"There is a super popular idol girl group in the Kanto region who wants to ask us if we need them to sing their theme song." Zoroark said with a strange look on his face, and Teng Shu was stunned when he heard it.

Idol girl group? Sing the theme song?

Alien theme song?

As a science fiction horror film, there isn't a lot of music in Alien. After all, the story takes place in a place called space, and sometimes the silence of space is used to deliberately highlight the horror atmosphere. Theme songs and the like are more suitable for some traditional science fiction movies.

However, it is also very common to invite popular singers or idol groups to sing the theme songs, and these singers and idol groups are happy to do so. If the movie or TV series becomes popular, it can also boost their fame and make money.

"No need." Teng Shu waved his hand. He really couldn't imagine what it would feel like to insert a theme song into a movie like Alien, which had a fast pace throughout. And where to insert it was also a problem.

Although now Teng Shu has discovered that film companies in Hollywood have also begun to learn from Bollywood, there must be some dancing and dynamic music rhythm in a movie, such as the step dance in the previous "Joker" and the weird dance of the terrifying artificial intelligence Mary.

Or the dance like BYEBYEBYE in Deadpool. Teng Shu had no idea about inserting dance into movies. After all, dance and music can indeed express the character's personality, shape the character's image, and make the character more vivid and three-dimensional.

But if one movie uses it it's considered fresh, if two movies use it it's considered industry practice, but if all movies use it it'll just make people feel a little bored.

After all, why do characters in movies dance? This also needs a reasonable explanation. You can't just say that the characters can dance whenever they want? That would be too Bollywood.

"Okay, then I'll go reply." Zoroark nodded and turned away. Teng Shu didn't care.

He is now more concerned about the filming of Alien and Buried. Shooting two movies at once is a challenge for Teng Shu. After all, this is his first attempt to do so.

However, looking at the Alien crew who were still arranging the sets and various props, and Dam who was familiarizing himself with the script, Teng Shu thought that maybe he could shoot Buried Alive before waiting for Alien to start filming? Thinking of this, Teng Shu walked over and glanced at Dam, who was still reading the script, making some strange expressions while reading, as if practicing how to perform some scenes in the script. Looking at Dam, Teng Shu couldn't help but fall into deep thought. He was still relatively confident in Dam's acting skills, but it seemed that it would take some time for Dam to fully understand the script.

"Dam, what do you feel after reading the script?" Teng Shu asked while looking at the curtain in front of him. After hearing Teng Shu's question, Dam showed an interested expression. He held the script in his hand and excitedly told Teng Shu about his views on the role.

After listening to it, Teng Shu found that there was nothing wrong with Dam's idea. The main point of the whole Buried Alive script was that the hero tried to save himself, but in the end he felt despair after his self-rescue failed. The hero's inner emotional fluctuations during this period were also a line. That's why Teng Shu said that Buried Alive would be a very unique movie, which would be very demanding on the actors, but would not have such high requirements on the director.

Originally, Buried Alive should have been enough, but considering the selection requirements of the Pokémon League Film Festival, Teng Shu felt that it would be safer to shoot another one, so Teng Shu planned three movies at once, but the Manchester movie had to wait until these two were finished before it could start shooting.

"Your idea is indeed very good. Do you have the confidence that you can perform well?" Teng Shu looked at Damu and asked with a smile. After hearing this, Damu immediately nodded solemnly. Naturally, he had some confidence in this.

"Boss, before I met you, I had always lived a life as if I was buried alive, so I am still very confident." Dam gave Teng Shu a thumbs up. After hearing this, Teng Shu paused for a moment, but still patted Dam on the shoulder.

Teng Shu had seen Dam's past in a previous interview on a movie channel, and even saw the wall-mounted house that Dam rented at the time. It was a very small room that was only big enough for a bed and nothing else. That room had been bought by Dam himself.

He said that whenever he felt proud, he would go back to the room, look at where he used to be, and then remind himself again.

"Then I plan to spend half a month to finish filming Buried Alive. Do you have confidence?" Teng Shu asked with a smile. Dam paused after hearing this, then thought for a while, and then nodded solemnly.

Teng Shu didn't say anything when he saw this, but called Zoroark and began to prepare for the filming of the burial alive.

"Boss, is this really a movie?" Zoroark asked in surprise, looking at the overly simple filming location in front of him.

A simple piece of land and a wooden box are all the requirements for filming the entire Buried Alive film. If Teng Shu and Damu were not very serious, Zoroark and other crew members would have suspected that Teng Shu was joking.

"Yes, this is a movie." Teng Shu said calmly. Buried Alive was originally a low-budget movie with a low investment. It is one of the movies that time travelers can choose when they have no money after traveling through time. Another option is to shoot some pseudo-documentaries.

The only requirement for being buried alive is acting skills.

"Dam, you need to lie in this wooden box when the time comes. I will have someone bury you underneath and then take a close-up shot. Is there any problem?" Teng Shu looked at Dam and asked.

He plans to shoot more realistically, and there is no need to worry about safety issues. After all, with the existence of Pokémon, there is no safety issue, and such shooting can also make the movie more realistic.

"No problem, boss. I like this kind of challenge." Dam was a little excited. He was getting makeup done. The makeup artist needed to dress Dam up as if he was buried alive according to the requirements of the script.

Teng Shu nodded with satisfaction, and then discussed the new movie with the crew members.

"This movie is called "Buried Alive", the protagonist is Dam, and there is no need to choose other supporting roles."

“..There is no need to bury Dam alive.” At this moment, in the nearby forest, two people were adjusting equipment, and after hearing these words, they looked at each other.

"Brother, what does this mean? Are you sure our monitoring equipment is in?" One of the short and fat men scratched his head in confusion. Why does this not sound like a movie shooting scene, but rather like a murder scene?
The tall and thin man also looked confused. Logically, they should have put it in, but why did they hear such outrageous things?
1. Buried alive, Dam, no need?
Bury Dam alive because the company doesn't need him anymore?
But isn’t Dam the top male star at Ghost Pictures?
Is Teng Shu so cruel? He buried his own actor alive?
This is big news. For those paparazzi chasing front-page headlines, if this is true, it is super big news. The heir of Dewen Company is a murderer secretly. Just imagine how terrifying the traffic and headlines will be?
But after all, I haven't monitored it completely, so I'm still not sure.

"Maybe the equipment is not debugged well. Wait for me to adjust the antenna." The tall and thin man shook his head and checked and adjusted the antenna. Soon, the sound came from the monitoring device again.

"Oh my God! What are you going to do? Why are you burying me alive? I don't want to die!" A terrified voice begging for mercy was heard from the monitor. The tall and thin man and the short and fat man both fell silent. As paparazzi reporters, they naturally knew who the owner of the voice was.

Dam.

The top star of Ghost Pictures, the actor who played Sherlock Holmes, a famous star in the entire league, now, this big star is going to be buried alive?
"This is simply... just..." The tall and thin man took a deep breath.

He got the recorded evidence, and when the time comes, as long as he finds Teng Shu, he can extort a large sum of money, a sum that is enough for him to become rich for the rest of his life, without having to worry about life difficulties, and to have enough food to eat for the rest of his life.

But only a fool would eat all his life. Being too greedy will get you nothing.

"Brother, what should we do?" The short and fat man asked tremblingly after listening to the begging for mercy in the monitor. He didn't expect Teng Shu to be such a person!
"We...we..." The tall and thin man took a deep breath, then silently picked up the recording equipment. He decided to do something big and let the timid ones starve to death and the bold ones die of gluttony!
Get rich today! (End of this chapter)
