Pokémon's Lord of Fear

Amidst the controversy, "Buried" was finally released as scheduled, and all the controversy on the Internet during this period was focused on one point - how was the filming of "Buried"?
All kinds of self-media were frantically publishing articles, some pessimistic, some optimistic, some flattering, taking the opportunity to attack Teng Shu and Dewen Company.

If I have to say something, I can only say that the entire Pokémon League and the Internet are in chaos now, with all kinds of comments.

Whether they are Teng Shu’s haters or fans, they argue back and forth, but they find that they cannot escape one question anyway, which is how was the movie "Buried" filmed?
If "Buried" is indeed very good, then there is no doubt that Teng Shu's fans can chase after the haters and the entire trend on the Internet will be reversed instantly. However, if "Buried" is not well filmed, or even not good enough, then it will lead to more slander and ridicule.

It can even be said that with the current popularity, Teng Shu and Ghost Pictures have only two possible outcomes: takeoff or failure.

In such a tense atmosphere, the release of Buried instantly attracted a large number of moviegoers, and various theaters also raised the screening rate of Buried to the highest level during the same period. After all, the people in charge of the theaters are not fools, and they can naturally see how outrageous the popularity of Buried is now.

If the Pokémon League Film Association hadn't required that every movie released have at least some screenings, I'm afraid many theaters would have simply filled up the screening rate for Buried Alive.

Even so, all the screenings of Buried Alive on the first day were basically sold out. People were very curious about what kind of movie director Teng Shu had made and whether he could refute the comments on the Internet.
Anyway, as a director, Teng Shu naturally has to let his works speak for themselves.

".I still have great confidence in Director Teng Shu. How could a director who can make a classic work like "Galer Express Murder Case" be a director who relies on vulgar routines to scare people?" At this moment, in a movie theater in Kanaz City, the old lady [The Disappearing Fat Fox] was broadcasting live.

As a live streamer on the Never Bite video website, Panci Fox is famous for live streaming horror games, but he often stops updating and disappears, resulting in an unstable number of fans.

He was holding a movie ticket in his hand, and it said "Buried Alive", and it was the premiere, and even the midnight show.

[The popularity of Buried Alive is really outrageous. There were so many people at the premiere and midnight screenings, and there were even more people in the theater! ]

[Yeah, a rough estimate puts it at a few hundred people. Does this include the later games as well?]

[It’s so funny, here we have burial scenes from midnight to 2am, and then there are other movies until 7am, and then there are burials again]

[Anecdotal information: The Film Association does not allow the same movie to be screened every day, otherwise other movies will not be able to get a single screening today]

The disappeared Fat Fox looked at everyone's discussion and couldn't help but smile. He looked at the people in front of him and couldn't help but smacked his lips.

There are too many people. Normally there wouldn't be so many people on weekends. Even for some popular productions, there wouldn't be such a crowd. This grand occasion can only mean that Buried Alive has really attracted a lot of audiences and people who want to have fun during this period.

“Today I can say that everyone who comes here is here to watch Buried Alive. After I finish watching it, I will post a review without spoilers, and it will be based on a 10-point system.” The disappearing Fat Fox said excitedly. The show was about to begin, and he had already seen one or two familiar-looking people, all of whom were film critics hanging around in the film review section.

There were also one or two old ladies, and they were all talking about something excitedly. It was not easy to see so many people in the cinema at midnight. The last time there were so many people at midnight, it seemed that it was because a childhood sentimental work had not been released for many years, which led to so many audiences coming.

【I will speak first! 8.9 points! 】

[No, according to the rating standards of Director Teng Shu’s previous works on the Internet, I think it might be 9.5 points]

[I am not optimistic about a movie that only lasted half a month, 3 points]

[Compared to this, I am more concerned about a woman, that figure, that mask, isn't she from the piano side area? ]

Along with the discussion in the live broadcast room, the disappeared Fat Fox went through the unbearable waiting time. After the movie started, Fat Fox turned off the live broadcast, then walked into the cinema with an excited heart, found his seat and sat down.

At the same time, Andu, a famous film critic from the Pokémon League, also came to the cinema. He also bought a ticket for the premiere. After all, Buried Alive was so popular that only a fool would miss it. Moreover, after watching the movie, the review had to be written immediately. Posting it one second late might result in missing out on a huge amount of traffic.

The film review track is now crowded with people. Even a well-known film critic like Andu has to compete internally, because if you don’t, you will be eliminated by others.

However, as a professional film critic, Andu was naturally prepared for all of this. He had prepared several templates in advance, ranging from the worst to the best. When the time came, he only needed to make some changes and they could be sent out quickly.

"Director Teng Shu, I'm very curious, will your playing with fire help you become a god or will it lead to self-immolation?" Andu curiously sat down in his seat, then glanced to the side and almost pressed his eyes shut.

Because the person sitting next to him was a beautiful woman with a very hot body, Andu couldn't help swallowing his saliva.

But he still focused his attention on movies.

Ken Dao, who has gained more than one million fans by hacking the black tree, naturally came to the theater, also to the premiere. Looking at the large crowds of people in the theater, Ken Dao couldn't help feeling a little nervous, but also a little excited.

"I'm telling you guys, a movie that took half a month to shoot can't possibly be a good one!" Ken Dao said as he walked into the cinema with the ticket. He was very nervous at the moment. After all, how well this movie turned out would determine whether he would drive a dream supercar or an orange mini in the future.

The movie begins as the iconic logo of the Pokémon Movie League Association appears.

Darkness, accompanied by coughing, appeared in the theater, and the entire theater fell silent at this moment. The audience seemed to be surrounded by it, and suddenly felt a little difficulty in breathing.

Andu pulled his clothes and then glanced at the door. The door of the cinema was open today, but it was shaded so it didn't affect the viewing experience. However, it was usually closed.

A pair of frightened eyes suddenly appeared on the screen, but they were not scary. Andu could tell at a glance that the man was Dam, the male protagonist of the movie.

The story then begins to move forward, and the location where the story takes place is explained in a very short section at the beginning.

A wooden box buried in an unknown location, and it is quite dilapidated and there is a risk of being completely buried at any time.

"This is quite interesting. They even took away the protagonist's Poké Ball." Looking at the empty Poké Ball belt on Dam's body when the camera passed by, Panci Fox nodded. If there were Pokémon, then burying alive like this would basically be a decoration. But he was also a little curious. Could this be an action movie about how the male protagonist escaped from being buried alive?

But as the movie progresses, the fat fox finds out that he is wrong, extremely wrong.

"Boss, why do you set the plot of your movie in the future Dark Empire period?" Zoroark was also watching a movie at this moment, but he was watching it on the set of Alien. Teng Shu specially gathered everyone together to watch a movie in the evening, and then set tomorrow as a rest time, which could be regarded as a simple benefit for everyone.

"It's very simple. It wouldn't pass the review in modern times." Teng Shu said calmly.

The biggest difficulty in adapting "Buried Alive" lies in the background story. The original story of Buried Alive was about a citizen of the Lighthouse Country who worked in a chaotic desert country, was kidnapped and buried alive, and sought rescue but was stymied by the Lighthouse Country and eventually ruined.

But it is not suitable for the Pokémon League. What alliance should the Lighthouse Country and the chaotic desert country choose to replace? Obviously, no matter what alliance it is, it is not suitable unless there is a real case.

After Teng Shu tactfully asked the League for help, the League told him with a smile that similar things had not happened in the current Pokémon League, but similar things had happened in the Dark Kingdom before the League, and suggested that Teng Shu use that as a prototype.

Teng Shu had no other choice. If he insisted on putting the blame on the alliance, Teng Shu's movie would probably not pass the review at all, so Teng Shu had no choice.

The only option is to make a magical change, using a story from the Dark Kingdom period to change it into a world where technology is advanced, but there is no Pokémon League to save the world, and all regions are still shrouded in darkness.

"Is that so?" Zoroark scratched his head. He thought the Alliance would be very open, but he didn't expect it to be so rigid.

Looking at Zoroark's expression, Teng Shu curled his lips. Movies are not so free. Although the director's ideas are free, I'm sorry, the censorship is not free.

Even in a certain so-called free country in the past life, their movies were full of "positive energy", and the ideas they promoted were all in line with the requirements before they could be released. However, in a certain country that was commented on as daring to film, although it filmed all kinds of things, it did not film anything involving the truly dark side.

So movies that seem free are actually subject to control.

“Just take your time to watch it.” Teng Shu pulled his clothes, it was outrageous, why would a director like him be affected by a movie?
However, looking at "Buried Alive" appearing in the system list, Teng Shu was still very satisfied. It was great that a thriller could get fear value, and the fear value that "Buried Alive" could get would probably not be small.

After all, Buried Alive is the type of movie that becomes more depressing the more you watch it, but Teng Shu cannot deny that some viewers don't feel much about such movies. After watching it, they may even feel that it is not as scary as other horror movies, but it doesn't matter.

"Damn it!" Dam cried out in despair. He coughed loudly and his breathing became more and more rapid.

At this moment, Kendao's breathing became more and more rapid. He felt a little irritable and even felt that he was having trouble breathing.

"Damn! This movie!" Kendao was a little desperate. Although this movie basically rubbed Damm in the face the entire time, Kendao really couldn't find any angle to say that this was a bad movie.

By the end of the movie, some people in the theater could no longer sit still. Andu really wanted to go out and write a review, but for some reason, he couldn't walk. He even felt like breathing was becoming more difficult. Only after distracting himself could he breathe normally.

"Could it be that Director Teng Shu knows magic?" Andu was a little confused, but he continued watching. The more he watched, the more desperate he became.

A dull depression made it hard to breathe, and at the end, when the hero was buried alive and the sand poured down, the fans present felt as if they were buried alive too.

So much so that when the movie ended, no one in the entire theater spoke or stood up. It was not that they didn't want to get up, but that they couldn't. They were buried alive.

Buried alive in a movie theater.

[Hello everyone, I am Andu. It is difficult for me to describe my feelings in words right now, but there is no doubt that Director Teng Shu has brought another shocking work this time]

[Buried alive, I was also buried alive in the cinema]

[The whole movie doesn’t have too many big scenes or too many characters. The main character is the male protagonist, but the whole process gave me a feeling of being suffocated.]

[Director Teng Shu's straightforward narrative style is a departure from previous horror film styles, and even gives me the feeling that it was shot by two different directors]

[Some of the camera language in it seems useless, but it also explains a lot of details. It has to be said that Director Teng Shu is still a detail freak.]

[And I also found the prototype of the whole film. The prototype story is a story that happened during the Dark Kingdom period. If you are interested, you can click on the hyperlink to check it out for yourself.]

[In short, because this movie is still in theaters, I can’t tell you too much about the plot, but I can give this movie a score of 9.7]

[Finally, I suggest that the audience take a few deep breaths outside the theater before watching the movie]

Andu pulled at his clothes and glanced at the theater.

As soon as he came out, he started working on his notebook and sending out manuscripts.

But after sending the manuscript, there are still some people sitting in the cinema gasping for breath. The feeling of depression and suffocation after watching the movie seems to still remain. Although this is just an illusion, it is still very impressive.

"Some clowns are going to be in trouble." Thinking of the culprit who caused all this, Andu smiled playfully and took a deep breath. (End of this chapter)
