Pokémon's Lord of Fear

"Director Teng Shu." Teng Shu had just returned to his company and saw a man at the door of the company, a man wearing a hat and sunglasses and looking a little decadent.

Teng Shu was stunned for a moment. If the man had not behaved normally, Teng Shu would have thought that some fans couldn't stand it anymore and were planning to come and send him razor blades in person.

After all, after The Grudge was released, Ghost Pictures received a lot of razor blades, all of which were sent by fans who were moved to tears after watching The Grudge. Teng Shu was very moved and could only thank the fans for their enthusiasm again and again, and then said that he would make even more scary horror movies in the future to repay the fans' kindness.

But then Teng Shu felt that the voice of the man in front of him sounded familiar. When the other person took off his glasses, Teng Shu finally knew who this person was.

After all, Teng Shu had cooperated with the other party before, but Teng Shu did not expect that the other party would come here. After all, Teng Shu was thinking of calling him when the film was almost ready.

"Mr. Yin Kairui? Come in quickly." Teng Shu hurriedly took Yin Kairui into his company and asked Zoroark to pour him a glass of water. Zoroark also walked out quickly. Only then did Yin Kairui completely take off the disguise on his face, revealing a pair of somewhat tired eyes.

Teng Shu released Xiao Q and Xiao Ye. These two little guys never liked staying in the Poké Ball, so Teng Shu rarely put them in the Poké Ball.

As soon as Xiao Q came out, he jumped onto Teng Shu's head, then skillfully found a place on Teng Shu's head to sleep, and even yawned, which made Teng Shu feel a little bit amused and helpless. Xiao Ye was still the same, floating in front of the glass, staring at the scenery outside in a daze.

Yin Kairui didn't have any objection. He just watched Teng Shu place the Pokémon quietly with a faint smile on his face.

"Mr. Yin Kairui, I'm so sorry. I just came back from the film festival. What's wrong with you?" Teng Shu finally settled the two little guys. Then he looked at Yin Kairui who was sitting opposite him and asked politely. At the same time, Teng Shu was indeed a little curious.

Although Teng Shu had agreed with Yin Carrey to shoot a movie, because The Grudge is still in theaters, Teng Shu did not start filming The Truman Show. Of course, another reason is that it is not the Chinese New Year yet.

Teng Shu would be very busy during the Chinese New Year, and it was also the first time for his family to reunite after a long absence, so Teng Shu usually did not do anything during the Chinese New Year, but instead enjoyed the family reunion with his father and brother.

"Director Teng Shu, I'm really sorry. After I went back home, I've been thinking about the role of Truman every day, so now I have some ideas I want to discuss with you." Yin Carrie said excitedly. Zoroark also knocked on the door and walked in. He served Teng Shu and Yin Carrie a cup of tea and then retreated outside.

When Teng Shu heard Yin Carrie's words, he was also a little surprised. He really didn't expect that Yin Carrie would be so excited about a role. You know, Yin Carrie is a successful actor.

He has starred in more than a dozen famous movies and even more less famous ones.

"Oh? Really? Then Mr. Yin Carrey, please tell me what you think." Teng Shu also became interested. He had never met such a unique actor before, and Yin Carrey himself was also very talented. Teng Shu also wanted to see Yin Carrey's understanding of the role of Truman.

After getting Teng Shu's affirmation, Yin Kairui immediately began to talk about his views with great interest. Teng Shu also listened patiently. However, it must be said that Yin Kairui did have some ideas.

He seemed to have some unique views on Truman, and some of the characters he described were very consistent with Truman's personality. Teng Shu was a little surprised. Although he wrote the script for Truman, he did not have much interpretation of the character of Truman himself. He just created a setting for Truman in the script that pursued freedom and did not want to live a life of being deceived. However, he did not expect that Silver Carrey could give Truman such a character with these.

This made Teng Shu interested in chatting.

Although The Truman Show seemed to Teng Shu to be finalized, Yin Carrey came up with some more interesting ideas, which Teng Shu also found very interesting. Yin Carrey even improvised a segment of what Truman said to the audience when he left for the last time, which made Teng Shu feel a little dazed, as if he had returned to the past, back to the time when he was sitting on the sofa watching the movie.

If you think about it carefully, that period of time also made people feel happy.

"Excellent, Mr. Yin Carrey. It is indeed the right choice to invite you." Teng Shu clapped his hands in appreciation. He really admired Yin Carrey. The actor's acting skills had become very good after years of precipitation. Teng Shu even felt that there was nothing wrong in putting makeup on Yin Carrey and saying that he was Truman.

"Director Teng Shu, when will this movie start shooting?" Yin Carrie said excitedly. Teng Shu looked at Yin Carrie and thought for a while.

His original plan was to shoot it later, but seeing Yin Carrie so excited, Teng Shu was silent for a moment and decided to help Yin Carrie shoot the movie.

Anyway, the film will take some time to shoot, and the sets and other things have to be prepared.

In The Truman Show, the sets were naturally limited. It didn't mean that a real studio was built in a small town. After all, that would be too difficult and expensive. Even the richest film company at the time couldn't do such a thing.

So in most cases, the sets are relatively local, and some movie sets are even built with cardboard and photos. Of course, this is relatively rare, and with the advancement of the times, such sets rarely appear.

"This scenery." Teng Shu was somewhat tempted and wanted to try to build a real town directly. However, after thinking about it, Teng Shu felt that this was not easy to do. The investment in a real town was really too huge.

"Unless I use this town as a reward house for future employees? For example, let outstanding employees move in, and then automatically get the property of this house after working for a certain period of time?" Teng Shu thought thoughtfully. If this is the case, then it should be possible, but for a small town, such a cost is indeed jaw-droppingly high.

A house is not a big deal, Teng Shu can grit his teeth and use his own money to make up for it, but the scale of a small town is really too big, so Teng Shu gave up the idea.

In the end, Teng Shu decided to adopt a more conventional method, that is, to shoot directly in the town. At most, he could buy a separate house to use as Truman's home. As for the specific location to choose.
According to the set of The Truman Show, there needs to be an outlet to the sea. In this regard, Kanaz City is very suitable. Teng Shu thought about it and felt that this idea was indeed feasible. After all, Kanaz City was also his base camp. The company and other things were all here, and he could shoot movies anytime and anywhere.

But there is also a disadvantage, that is, there may be spoilers. After all, it is often difficult to prevent movies shot in the city from being secretly filmed, which may have a certain impact on the box office of the movie. But there is nothing we can do about it.

"Then Mr. Yin Kairui, I'll trouble you to stay in Kanaz City for a while. I'll inform you when the shooting is ready." Teng Shu looked at Yin Kairui politely and said. Yin Kairui shook hands with Teng Shu excitedly and went out happily.

Seeing Yin Carrie's happy expression, Teng Shu didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but since the decision had been made to start filming the movie, Teng Shu had to start preparing.

In this movie, Teng Shu plans to make a cameo appearance as the director in The Truman Show, the planner of the reality show. This can be considered a meme to some extent.

It's quite interesting that the director is filming Truman's reality show in the movie, while Teng Shu is filming Silver Carrey's movie in real life.

As for other roles, Teng Shu still plans to follow the old rules and choose from talented actors. Although Teng Shu recruited quite a few talented actors when he first organized the event, Teng Shu still plans to continue to make his fortune in the industry and give some opportunities to newcomers.

The entertainment industry is still a bit too cruel, and Teng Shu also wants to give these dreamers a possibility.

At yesterday's film festival, although that peculiar art film stole a lot of attention, Teng Shu was also able to make a fortune in a low-key manner. He won three awards without noticing, including the Best Picture, which made Teng Shu feel a little amused and helpless.

Unexpectedly, the award that he missed at the Alliance Film Festival was won here. However, Teng Shu was quite happy about it. Although the value of this award is not as high as that of the Alliance Film Festival, it can be regarded as recognition of himself by the market.

Of course, during the award ceremony, the judges did engage in a full-blown fight, and they almost kicked each other. However, because it was an art film, the fact that Buried Alive won the Best Film award did not attract much attention.

But Teng Shu was also happy to see it happen.

"Boss, didn't you say that you didn't plan to shoot the movie right away?" Zoroark asked curiously. He still had the information given to him by Teng Shu in his hand, and he was going to start preparing for the movie soon.

"Yeah, I didn't plan to take pictures originally, but looking at Yin Carrey's eyes, I always felt that he might not be able to wait any longer." Teng Shu pinched his eyebrows.

Yin Kairui was too excited. That look and that expectation made it difficult for Teng Shu to say no. After all, this matter itself did not have much impact on Teng Shu. He could just take a holiday during the New Year.

Some crews go on holiday and the actors forget they even have this show. It's so outrageous.

"Eh? Are there any actors who can't wait to film?" Zoroark was a little shocked. This was the first time it heard of someone who couldn't wait to film.

Teng Shu shrugged and said nothing, asking Zoroark to go and do the work, while he sat in the office thinking about whether the plot of The Truman Show should be modified.

The original work is actually quite good, but looking at Yin Carrey's excited eyes just now, and thinking about some of the plots in The Truman Show, Teng Shu had a new idea.

Truman's World is indeed excellent, but essentially the degree of deception still feels a bit lacking, so Teng Shu's plan to add Truman's Pokémon was also a planned plot, but Truman's Pokémon later sincerely regarded Truman as its own trainer, which should make it easier for people in the Pokémon world to empathize.

After all, for the people in the Pokémon world, the company of Pokémon is also a very important bond. Many people even feel that their Pokémon are like family members. But there is nothing wrong with thinking this way. After all, Pokémon are smart and have longevity, and they can often spend the rest of their lives with their trainers.

So if such a plot setting is added, it will definitely make people in the Pokémon world empathize with Truman more. After all, Truman is too tragic. Everything around him is fake since he was born. His wife is fake, his brothers are fake, Pokémon are fake, and his biological father is fake. Only his first love is real, but his first love was sent away, which can only plant a seed in Truman's heart.

In the end, Truman resolutely chose to leave, and Truman's Pokémon followed Truman regardless of their own safety. This is quite interesting, but such an adaptation will also have a certain impact on the original plot, but Teng Shu doesn't think it is a big problem.

"If I wasn't planning on making a horror movie, I would have wanted to make a movie about Hachiko to earn some tears." Teng Shu complained in his mind while changing the plot.

In his previous life, Teng Shu had been tricked. At the beginning, the movie was said to be a funny movie like Cats and Dogs, but halfway through, he realized that it was not right. After watching it, he found out that it was actually a tragic movie. And such movies are indeed more memorable.

All I can say is that although happy stories can make people laugh, tragedies are often more easily engraved in people's hearts. This is how some of the "healing" animations and movies in the past came about.

Teng Shu adapted the story very quickly. After all, he remembered the plot of The Truman Show. He was just adding a small part of the story, which would not affect the overall rhythm.

At the same time, it can also show Truman's despair. The desperate Truman thinks that Pokémon is also deceiving him, but in the end he finds out that Pokémon has regarded him as a real trainer, and they reconcile together, leave the crew and face life bravely. Such a story should be good.

"So who should Truman choose as his Pokémon?" Teng Shu thought for a while, but he soon made up his mind.

After all, the director team made Truman afraid of the sea, so in this case, it is natural to choose a ground-type Pokémon or a fire-type Pokémon that is restrained by the water-type. (End of this chapter)
