Pokémon's Lord of Fear

"Boss, the box office of "The First Commandment" is progressing slowly right now. Many people say that they feel a little depressed after watching "The First Commandment." Zoroark said while driving. Teng Shu nodded after hearing it. Such an evaluation was beyond his expectations. After all, Teng Shu had not thought that the box office of "The First Commandment" would slow down after reaching 3 billion.

But this is normal. After all, most movies are usually fierce in the early stages, but as word of mouth and box office come out in the later stages, the box office of these movies will often be affected.

What's more, "The First Commandment" is still labeled as a horror film. Although there are many people who like to watch horror movies these days, most people don't watch them very much. Therefore, it is often difficult for horror movies to have good box office results. This is also a key reason why Teng Shu started to plan commercial films.

After all, if you want to make a lot of money, then box office is necessary. For a movie IP, the box office is the appeal of this movie IP. If the appeal is not enough, the corresponding IP valuation will not be too high.

"But what's this depression about?" Teng Shu was a little confused. Some people said it was scary, some said it was creepy, but few said it was depressing.

After all, The First Commandment is a horror film, and in order to increase the horror elements in it, Teng Shu originally added some horror clips into the plot to amplify the horror experience.

After all, the increase in horror elements will, to some extent, reduce the impact of other parts.

"Boss, many people feel that after watching this movie, they are afraid of encountering a ghost when they interact with others in their daily lives. Some people even start to become suspicious, wondering if their family members and friends have been possessed by other spirits." There was some helplessness in Zoroark's tone, and Teng Shu's mouth twitched when he heard it.

Are these people really that ridiculous? Can they make the audience feel so immersed in the movie? And you have to know that although he has a master-level lens language that can make it easier for the audience to immerse themselves in the movie, this thing will also eliminate the impact on the audience after immersion.

So it stands to reason that these people shouldn’t feel this way.

Teng Shu took out his phone and searched it, and then saw the hot search terms such as [The First Commandment, a movie that makes me suspicious]. Teng Shu was a little surprised when he saw it, and he clicked on it to take a look.

From the whole description, what the other party wanted to express was that after reading the First Commandment, he began to doubt whether the people around him were abnormal. He also specifically pointed out that he already had some mental problems and was about to be cured, but the First Commandment made the condition worse. At the same time, he also particularly hated the plot where Chen Fulai actually defeated the police in the end.

Teng Shu felt a little helpless.

Although Teng Shu had thought about the possibility of various problems when he decided to shoot "The First Commandment", when he really encountered problems, Teng Shu didn't know what to say. After all, these people's ideas were too bizarre. Although "The First Commandment" had some popularity in the previous life, it was far from reaching this level.

Teng Shu felt that this might be his own problem. After all, this time he was shooting a movie with a strong sense of immersion. Although Director Nolan only used the photographic equipment provided by Teng Shu, the sense of immersion would still not be too bad.

"By the way, the lottery for "The Grudge 2" hasn't been drawn yet." Teng Shu thought of the lottery for "The Grudge 2". After the filming of "The Grudge 2" was completed, Teng Shu got a total of four lottery chances. With the increase in the number of lotteries, the fear value required for each lottery is now becoming more and more. However, relatively speaking, the probability of drawing good things has also increased a lot. This can probably be regarded as a complementary relationship.

【You get the master level of immersive sound】

[Master-level immersive sound: your movie sound effects will be more fascinating and more realistic]

Teng Shu raised his eyebrows. He actually drew a master-level skill this time? This was good. He was lucky. He just didn't know if there was anything above the master level. According to reality, the master level should be the grandmaster level, but Teng Shu couldn't be sure if there was one in the system.

Taking advantage of this hot hand, Teng Shu decisively used all the remaining three chances.

[You have received a movie world travel voucher]

[You have acquired the special skill of Shadow Follows You]

[You obtained a strange stone sculpture]

"What are these things, and stone sculptures? This thing seems somewhat familiar." Teng Shu's expression became subtle, and he checked the items won in this lottery.

First up is the Movie World Travel Voucher. It’s an old friend. The effect this time is the same, allowing Teng Shu to travel to any movie world for seven days. However, Teng Shu has not figured out how to use it this time.

Although the last trip to Kayako's world was quite interesting, the probability of winning this thing is still relatively low. Teng Shu plans to think about it carefully. At least he must go to an interesting world, and then he can experience the beauty of the new world.

[Like a shadow: You can call an evil spirit related to you to come into your shadow and accompany you]

".What kind of outrageous skill is this?" Teng Shu looked at the skill in front of him, and his mouth twitched. This skill seemed to be useless. An evil spirit related to him? Teng Shu could only think of the strange existences in the movies he shot, but Teng Shu felt that Kayako and Tomie were more likely to be the ones.

After all, Kayako and Tomie Tengshu have both come into contact with him, but this skill is not very well received. The system does not explain why these evil spirits accompany him and what their use is. Tengshu does not know either. He can only imagine that these evil spirits’ company is most likely to serve as a self-defense function?

If at that time some people want to attack him, then maybe he can ask the evil spirit to help and block the opponent's attack or something.

[Strange Stone Sculpture: For some reason, this stone sculpture is somewhat similar to Kyogre] With this extraction, a strangely shaped stone appeared in Teng Shu's arms. It looked exactly like Kyogre, which made Teng Shu look unhappy. After all, Teng Shu had obtained a stone sculpture of Groudon last time, and later he subdued the stone sculpture of Groudon and turned it into Groudon. Now Kyogre is here too. What is he doing? Is he trying to collect all seven Dragon Balls?
"It's a conservative estimate that this stone is related to Kyogre. No matter what, we can't capture it with a Poké Ball this time." Teng Shu looked at the stone in his hand. It was indeed a smaller version of Kyogre. The middle part of the stone was a sea-blue gem, making it look even more like Kyogre.

But Teng Shu was not too happy. He even felt a little headache. These were the three sacred beasts. Now he had a Groudon on him, and a super evolved Rayquaza with a bond was flying in the sky. This already made the alliance very dissatisfied. If a Kyogre came along,
Tsk tsk tsk, I really dare not even think about it.

When the time comes, Chi Yansong and Shui Wutong will come over to put the yellow robe on him, will he put it on or not?

Fortunately, there is no such thing as Chen Sheng being the king of the Great Chu in this world, otherwise Teng Shu felt that he might be rumored to be Feng Yuanxing and Teng Shu being the king.

[Kayako sent a follow request, do you want to allow Kayako to follow you everywhere? 】

A line of prompts popped up, Teng Shu was stunned for a moment, then he realized that this should be the reason for the new skill "Shadow Following". However, Teng Shu did not expect that this thing could be actively used by the evil spirit. Thinking of this, Teng Shu agreed with the idea of ​​giving it a try. At the same time, he also wanted to see if Kayako in the evil spirit state could be seen by Zoroark.

With Teng Shu's consent, the next second, there were two more people beside him, one was Kayako and the other was Toshio. The two evil spirits were sitting next to him. Kayako was wearing very ordinary clothes. She was not in the state of an evil spirit now, and there was a hint of clarity in her eyes. Toshio next to him also looked like a cute little boy.

Teng Shu glanced at the rearview mirror. Zoroark had already looked, but it didn't see anything and its expression was still indifferent. This made Teng Shu realize that it seemed that summoned evil spirits like Kayako were generally invisible to others, even if they were ghost Pokémon.

"Long time no see, Ms. Kayako." Teng Shu looked at Kayako beside him and said politely in a low voice. This sentence made Zoroark's expression become horrified. It couldn't help but look back a few times, but there was nothing behind it, which made Zoroark's hair stand on end.

Who is my boss talking to?
"Long time no see, Mr. Teng Shu, I didn't expect to see you again." Kayako behaved very normally. Her eyes were much clearer, no longer like before. Even though she looked like a living person, she had a resentful look on her face. This made Teng Shu realize that Kayako herself might have some personal consciousness.

It's just that the house of the curse is already soaked with too much resentment, not just Kayako's, but also the resentment of all the unlucky people killed by Kayako. These resentments are like the whispers of ancient gods, echoing in Kayako's ears all the time. That's why Kayako in her world has become so bloody, terrifying, and unreasonable.

Strictly speaking, Kayako at that time was essentially a collection of resentments and not an evil spirit.

"Mom, I feel so comfortable here." Toshio happily ran to Kayako's side, hugged his mother's arm and said. Teng Shu smiled. It seemed that not only Kayako, but Toshio also felt the same.

Teng Shu felt that he now roughly understood the operating mechanism of the curse.

The Grudge, this thing was undoubtedly born from Kayako, but based on some descriptions and additions to the American version of The Grudge, Teng Shu feels that the story of the Grudge should actually start from when Kayako was a child.

When Kayako Kawamata was still a little girl, her mother was a very famous shaman in a small area at that time. Her mother's way of exorcising evil spirits was to force out the evil spirits and feed them into Kayako's mouth, making Kayako the carrier of these evil spirits and curses, which also caused Kayako's character to become distorted.

Dark, extreme, and a little crazy, this was Kayako's character at the time.

These characteristics are deeply connected with Kayako's irresponsible mother. To some extent, Kayako's mother is the key reason for the birth of the Grudge.

Originally, if Kayako could meet a suitable man, her life would have ended so peacefully, and the terrifying power hidden in her would not have erupted. However, unlucky Kayako met the violent Takeo Saeki, and then met an irresponsible doctor, which resulted in Kayako's unjust death. The supernatural power in Kayako's body combined with her resentment occupied the entire haunted house.

At this time, Kayako's spirit was trapped in this room, but Kayako still had some of her own spiritual thoughts, so Kayako was seeking what she wanted - to return to this world.

In Teng Shu's opinion, the finale of The Grudge is actually the movie version of The Grudge 2, which can be considered the end.

Kayako is controlled by the curse in the haunted house. Anyone infected by the curse will become her target of killing. The resentment of these dead people in turn affects Kayako, making Kayako more resentful and unreasonable, and finally turning her into a vengeful ghost.

But Kayako obviously didn't want this, so in the movie The Grudge 2, Kayako temporarily let the ghost that entered the haunted house go and completed her ultimate goal of reincarnation.

So although the characters in the Ju-Grudge 2 movie died or disappeared, the Demon Queen never died and gave birth to Kayako. When Kayako came out, she carried the power of her vengeful spirit and directly killed everyone else in the operating room.

In the end, Kayako grew up, and the Demon Queen continued to take care of the little girl Kayako. However, it was obvious that Kayako, who had never felt the existence of maternal love since childhood, had no good feelings or sympathy for her mother. She directly pushed her mother down the stairs, causing her mother to fall to death. Kayako was then completely free and began to live a free life in Tokyo.

As for the haunted house, it still exists, but it has escaped the control of Kayako, the soul with divine thoughts, and has become a pure cursed place. Anyone who enters it will be killed by Kayako, who is transformed by resentment, and then their resentment will be integrated into the curse, constantly increasing the power of the curse.

“If that’s the case, then Ju-Grudge can end with 345, 3, and 4. 5 will explain Kayako’s background, will be scary as usual, and will be Kayako’s reincarnation.” Teng Shu looked at Kayako beside him and had an idea in his mind. This idea seemed very good to Teng Shu.

At least it brings The Grudge to an end.

As for what happens next, Teng Shu doesn't plan to film it. Anyway, the ratings of the subsequent films have been getting lower and lower, so a proper ending is also a good choice. (End of this chapter)
