Pokémon's Lord of Fear

Teng Shu didn't know what was going on, but every time he adapted a horror novel or movie, he always felt that the empty room suddenly became crowded. It was really strange.

"The initial version of The Grudge" Teng Shu sat in front of the computer, then picked up Xiao Q and stroked Xiao Q's leather head, and then began to think about the plot this time.

Anyway, with Little Q here, even if Teacher Kayako really comes to this world, Teng Shu can let her know what it means that ghost-type can fight ghost-type effectively, and let Teacher Kayako know what the basic rules of the Pokémon world are.

The initial version of Ju-Grudge chose a girl as the main perspective, and she went to the house of Ju-Grudge to look after an old lady and accidentally bumped into Kayako.

Of course, the most impressive thing about the movie "The Grudge", apart from the gurgling sound made by Kayako who crawled down the stairs covered in blood from the second floor and the elusive Toshio, is its unique narrative style.

Every story in The Grudge begins with the name of the victim, and sometimes these stories are discontinuous and confusing, but after reading it to the end, you will find that the protagonists of these stories will be interspersed in the plots of other protagonists, and then get a certain explanation, so that people know the subsequent fate of these protagonists.

Although this strange narrative style may seem a bit confusing at first, once you really watch it carefully, you will connect all the plots together. So it is a relatively interesting setting, and it has almost become a common style of The Grudge. Subsequent plots are basically shot based on this template.

Takeo Saeki, the beginning of all tragedies, but Teng Shu also heard that in some subsequent plots, the origin of this tragedy has been set as this house and this land, but the accumulated resentment broke out on Takeo Saeki and Kayako Saeki, and then made Kayako the carrier of this resentment.

But if we ignore the subsequent works like The Grudge and just talk about the movie The Grudge, then it can be said that this man, Takeo Saeki, is indeed one of the culprits who caused all the tragic stories.

The reason I say one of them is because there is also a doctor in this story who has a particularly poor medical ethics.

"But if we shoot it this way, it always feels a bit incomplete, so we should adapt it." After thinking it over, Teng Shu decided that it would be better to adapt it. At least the audience will know how the Grudge came about, so that it will be easier to continue shooting.

[Kawamata Kayako, a tragic woman, was madly infatuated with a classmate named Kobayashi Shunsuke during school, but she never dared to confess her feelings. When she wanted to express her feelings, she found out that her lover already had a partner]

[This made Kawamaya Kayako choose to retreat, not daring to express her feelings to her lover, nor daring to compete]

[Kawamata Kayako was depressed, but in her later life, Kayako rented her house to Takeo Saeki, who fell in love with Kayako and confessed his love to her, and Kayako agreed.]

[After getting married, Kayako and her husband gave birth to a child. Because Kayako still had the shadow of her former secret love in her heart, she insisted on naming her child Saeki Toshio. The character "Toshi" was taken from the name of her secret lover, and "Xiong" was the name of her husband.]

[Although Takeo didn't quite understand, since it was his wife's wish, Takeo Saeki still agreed and let his wife leave this name.]

Teng Shu was writing an outline. It was one of his habits to slowly add details after finishing the outline. However, when he came to this point, Teng Shu thought of something. That is, if Kayako had not named her child Toshio, perhaps what happened later would not have happened so thoroughly.

However, considering that Takeo Saeki had already lost his mind at the time, Teng Shu felt that the impact might not be that great.

Everything was fine. Although Kayako and Takeo's life was not very happy, it was acceptable. However, when Kayako sent Toshio to school, she found out that Toshio's teacher was the person she had a crush on. This immediately aroused Kayako's longing. Kayako began to write a diary at home to express her love for her crush, Kobayashi.

[But at this time, Gangxiong found out during a physical examination at the hospital that he had oligospermia and was unlikely to have children. The doctor in question was rather perfunctory and did not tell Gangxiong that it was actually possible to have children with such a disease, but the probability was much lower. He just told Gangxiong that it was impossible to have children.]

[The furious Tsuneo started to go crazy and began to suspect that his wife had betrayed him. He returned home and found the diary written by Kayako. Then he learned about Kobayashi's affairs and understood why there was a "Toshio" in Toshio's name. This made Tsuneo extremely angry. He questioned Kayako, but Kayako just laughed.]

[The furious Takeo Saeki tortured and killed Kayako in an extremely cruel way, broke her neck, hid her body in the attic, and then went to find Shunsuke Kobayashi with a knife. Toshio also disappeared in this house full of resentment]

[Kayako's resentment before her death turned into a curse, turning Kayako into a vengeful ghost. At this time, Kobayashi Shunsuke didn't know about this. After Toshio missed classes for many days, he came to do a home visit and accidentally met Kayako, who had turned into a vengeful ghost, and was brutally killed.]

[Before his death, Shunsuke Kobayashi received a call from Takeo Saeki, who had just brutally killed Shunsuke Kobayashi's wife, then dug open her stomach and took out Shunsuke Kobayashi's child.]

[After Takeo Saeki hung up the phone, he also encountered the vengeful spirit Kayako and was killed by Kayako]

Teng Shu stopped.

The background story of The Grudge has actually been explained here. Everything originated from an irresponsible doctor and the furious Tsuneo.

After Takeo Saeki was certain that his wife had cheated on him with Kobayashi and gave birth to Toshio with Kobayashi, he killed Kayako in an extremely cruel manner. He also twisted Kayako's neck, damaging Kayako's vocal cords, which resulted in Kayako only being able to make a giggling sound every time she appeared.

Of course, this sound has also become the iconic sound of Kayako's appearance. When the audience hears this sound, they know that something extremely bad will happen afterwards, so they are mentally prepared in advance.

"Kayako's life is really miserable. But if Kayako hadn't written this thing, it would probably be fine if the doctor was more rigorous." Teng Shu shook his head.

If Takeo Saeki had taken his child for a DNA test first, the story of The Grudge probably wouldn't have been able to continue.

"But this teacher Shunsuke Kobayashi is really miserable." Teng Shu smacked his lips. The most wronged person in the whole story is Shunsuke Kobayashi, the unlucky guy. He did nothing wrong and didn't know Kayako's love for him. He was worried about Toshio and went to Toshio's home to do a home visit to fulfill a teacher's duty, but he died. He also lost his wife and unborn child. It's really miserable.

But this is also why The Grudge is so scary, because this horror movie doesn't care whether the character has any grudges with ghosts, there is no cause and effect, as long as you enter the house or have some contact with the cursed person coming out of the house, you will be killed.

In the entire horror film "The Grudge", there is only one survivor, Teng Shuji, and the appearance of this survivor has also caused a lot of controversy. There is a survivor in a horror film and he is actually criticized by the audience. This shows how deeply rooted the idea that there is no survivor in this Grudge is in people's minds.

"But isn't this a bit scary?" Teng Shu scratched his head and fell into deep thought while looking at the script in his hand.

It stands to reason that it is a good thing for horror movies to scare people, but it is not good to be too scary. Moreover, the filming of Teng Shu's movie will make the audience feel as if they are in the scene and watch these movies directly as the protagonist. Then the problem comes. After the audience is scared several times in the cinema, they will see Kayako crawling down from the second floor with their own eyes.
Then he kept sticking his face close to hers like crazy. After all, most of the protagonists would be so scared that their legs would go weak when they saw Kayako climbing down the stairs. They could only sit on the ground and quietly admire Kayako's stunning beauty.

I'm afraid someone will really wet their pants.

After all, the scene where Kayako climbs the stairs can be said to be a standard shot of The Grudge, and the level of scary in it is still very high. When taking stock of The Grudge movies, basically this scene will be taken out. In the subsequent plots, Kayako also crawls around the world killing people, and it is almost becoming a classic shot of Kayako.

"Forget it, I'm just a director. The audience just needs to be scared to death in the cinema. As a director, I have a lot to consider." Teng Shu still chose to make "The Grudge" more scary. After all, Teng Shu needed to gain fear value, and his master-level lens language would also give a BUFF that would make the negative effects disappear after leaving the cinema. Wouldn't it be a pity if it didn't cause any trouble?
"Hehehe~" Teng Shu's terrifying laughter was heard in the office, causing Zoroark, who was about to knock on the door to come in to report on his work, to pause for a moment. He waited until Teng Shu finished laughing before knocking on the door.

"What's wrong, Zoroark?" Teng Shu looked at Zoroark puzzledly. He was just thinking about whether to send Kaluni an audition invitation. After all, although the role of Kayako is scary most of the time, it still requires a little bit of acting skills, and Kaluni might also like this kind of role.

"Boss, we got an invitation from the two film award committees for Buried Alive. Buried Alive has been nominated for Best Screenplay, Best Actor, Best Film, and Best Director!" Zoroark said excitedly. Teng Shu was also very happy to hear that. If he could get these awards, then Teng Shu would have more personal experience.

By then, there will probably be fewer people trolling the Internet, saying that he is a commercial film director.

Although Teng Shu didn't really care about what these trolls said, after all, Teng Shu made movies purely for fun. Otherwise, wouldn't it be better for Teng Shu to directly inherit Dewen Company and be a rich second-generation all day long?

"Okay, I'll take the crew with me then." Teng Shu nodded. With four nominations, at least one should be given, right? It's not possible that he won't get any nominations for all four awards. That would be too outrageous.

Although Teng Shu himself knew that after the emergence of the new patent, he had become a very popular and also very unpopular person in the industry, these people should not use such means to disgust him.

"By the way, Zoroark, remember to supervise the construction of the amusement park, and the purchased amusement equipment must be safe and durable." Teng Shu thought of the matter of Dream Demon and others, and reminded Zoroark. After all, this matter was also very important. Dream Demon and his group had a lot of ghost-type Pokémon.

From the perspective of benefits, so many Pokémon employees have brought some tax exemptions to Teng Shu's company, and Teng Shu will pay less tax. From Teng Shu's perspective, Dream Demons are also his veteran employees, and Teng Shu does not want to treat these little guys unfairly. He is not a black-hearted capitalist.

"Okay, boss." Zoroark also took note of this matter. Teng Shu approved a lot of money this time. That much money was more than enough to build an amusement park, and it would be more than enough to fill it up.

After watching Zoroark leave, Teng Shu also picked up his phone. The trailer for Alien has been released, after all, Alien has passed the review.

However, in order to preserve the biggest suspense in Alien - the appearance of the alien itself.

There are no aliens in this trailer, just a mix of shots showing a spaceship performing missions in the universe, flying, mining, and space suits and so on. Anyway, there are no horror elements to be seen.

When he clicked on the trailer, Teng Shu saw a barrage of comments.

[Frontline warning: this trailer may contain a lot of trailer fraud! ]

[Haha, produced by Ghost Pictures, a science fiction film? Do you think I believe it?]

Looking at the content in the barrage, Teng Shu coughed.

Although Teng Shu did make a fraudulent trailer when the Ghost Called, making a horror film, but the trailer showed a suspense film, but this time Teng Shu still put the name Alien in the title.

"I don't know how the audience in the Pokémon world will accept science fiction films, but it doesn't matter, the next one will be The Grudge." Teng Shu rubbed his hands.

The entire trailer is not long, and it’s full of space travel shots. I’d have thought Teng Shu was filming Star Trek.

However, the comment section was full of opinions about Teng Shu's trailer. They all felt that Teng Shu had cheated with the trailer this time, and there was no horror scene at the end where they directly washed their hair upside down.

Teng Shu's mouth twitched when he saw this, but he really couldn't do anything about it this time. If the audience knew about it in advance, the horror would be reduced. (End of this chapter)
