Pokémon's Lord of Fear

"Boss, this is the list of actors this time. However, there are many people who have signed up for the psychologist you requested. How do we choose?" Zoroark handed a stack of names to Teng Shu, and couldn't help asking.

Other things are easy to solve, but I really don’t know how to choose this psychologist.

Teng Shu was also a little surprised after hearing this. Is the competition for psychologists so fierce? But if you think about it carefully, it is true. After all, there are not many psychologists these days, but only quite a few. This has also led to the fact that the profession of psychologists is either too dry or too dry.

Although some psychologists charge tens of thousands of dollars an hour, most are ordinary doctors who only charge one or two hundred dollars per visit.

If you are lucky enough to get into a hospital, that's still good. If you are unlucky, you can only work in some rescue centers and earn even less money. So although the profession of psychologist looks very glamorous, the employment pressure is actually very high.

Teng Shu took it and looked at it. There were indeed a lot of them. According to Zoroak, these applicants had already been screened once, but even so, there were still thirty-two files.

Teng Shu flipped through the pages and found some well-known people in the academic world of psychology. However, most of the information was the same and there was nothing new about it. However, as Teng Shu was flipping through the pages, he saw a very interesting resume.

"Well, a PhD in psychology from an ordinary university. This degree is quite ordinary in these lists. The others are from famous universities, but this resume." Teng Shu looked at the resume in his hand with interest. In Teng Shu's opinion, this person was very smart. He knew that Teng Shu was a horror film director, so he made a special note of it in the resume.

【Focus on the study of psychological problems such as hallucinations, auditory hallucinations, and ghost phobia】

This made Teng Shu feel very interesting.

The male protagonist in "In the Mood for Love" essentially forgot about this matter by fading away, but judging from the collections in the male protagonist's home, the male protagonist has actually been ill for some time, but he deliberately concealed the fact that he was ill, and the time of the onset may not be certain.

This is not particularly clearly stated in the movie, but it can be seen through some details.

For example, after the male protagonist went out and was seen by the female ghost's parents, the excitement of the female ghost's parents made the male protagonist show symptoms again. In the process, the male protagonist took out some of the original information while sleepwalking. It can be seen that the male protagonist actually remembered this incident in his heart, but he didn't show it so obviously because he had forgotten it normally.

"Let's choose him." Teng Shu was very satisfied with this psychologist. The other party was very smart and knew that what Teng Shu was shooting should be a horror film, so he boldly made such a note. Although it was still inferior to other people's honors, it was more in line with Teng Shu's requirements.

Zoroark took it after taking a look at it. It still needed to communicate and deal with the project establishment of "Alien Dimension".

Teng Shu was looking at the names of actors in his hand. Now that Teng Shu was very famous, there were naturally quite a few actors, including some outstanding ones, who all wanted to audition. Teng Shu looked at the names and photos of the actors and thought for a while.

These actors are pretty good, but considering the character of the male protagonist in Another Dimension, Teng Shu feels that he still needs to find someone who is relatively handsome. After all, this will make it easier to explain.

Although Teng Shu has never been a person who cares about appearance, he has to admit that sometimes appearance is indeed very important, especially in some plots, it plays a crucial role.

The simplest example is, if the male protagonist in a movie is very popular with women and receives so many love letters every day, at this time, if Bai Gu's appearance is used as an example, the audience will instantly understand why the male protagonist is so popular. This face is enough to explain the reason completely.

But if you have to use someone who looks very ordinary, then it will easily cause doubts. Although you can also let the other person shake his hand to show a heroic look, which can be explained, but relatively speaking, the character's personality is relatively fixed and rigid, and the later arrangements will be more troublesome.

So in movies and TV dramas, appearance is sometimes really important, and in Teng Shu's opinion, the psychologist in the Another Dimension must naturally be handsome, and his age should be thirty or below, and no older than thirty-two. Otherwise, the age of the heroine needs to be controlled, which is too troublesome.

The film industry does not reject letting people who do not match the age of the role to act, for example, the actress who plays a girl may be thirty years old or even older because of her good acting skills.

But Teng Shu still cares about this issue. Youth and old age, sometimes, really can't be solved by makeup techniques. When he thinks about those actors in their forties and fifties having to act young on the screen, Teng Shu feels uncomfortable.

So under such requirements, Teng Shu became more strict in selecting the male lead for Another Dimension. However, although it was quite strict, Teng Shu still quickly found the actor he was looking for this time.

An actor who won the title of Best Actor at the age of only 30, and who also has a handsome appearance, fits Teng Shu's definition of this role very well.

After deciding on the male lead, Teng Shu also selected the female lead and the role of the female ghost. However, because the role of the female ghost this time was a high school student, Teng Shu thought about it and decided to find two high school students to play the roles, one boy and one girl, both high school students. Their collagen and childish faces cannot be expressed through makeup techniques.

After the actors were selected, Teng Shu began to prepare for the shooting. This time the shooting did not require too much trouble, so Teng Shu chose the city of Kanaz to complete the shooting.

"Mr. Phillo?" Teng Shu also met the psychologist he had invited this time on the set. He was a psychologist who held a doctorate in psychology and some honorary certificates. He also worked at the [Alliance Suicide Prevention Hotline].

When someone searches for suicide methods on the Internet, the hotline number will pop up. If the other party wants to talk, they will call. If not, if the other party is still browsing after 30 seconds, a web call request will be sent. These tasks are what Mr. Phillo is responsible for. Provide psychological counseling and advice, etc.

This is a job that sounds very impressive, but in reality it can only barely support a family. Some of the operators are even medical interns from universities. When they look at their predecessors and listen to their teachings, they suddenly feel the pain of why they chose psychology in the first place.

No matter which industry it is, as long as there are more people working in it, it will often be more difficult to obtain benefits and it will become inward-looking.

"Hello, Director Teng Shu, thank you very much for giving me this opportunity this time." Phillo's attitude was very humble. Teng Shu waved his hand. He didn't care about these problems, but now he needed some professional psychologist's advice.

But for Phillo, he was really grateful to Teng Shu. After all, the salary offered by Teng Shu was not low, enough for him to improve his life and buy a car for his wife.

Teng Shu discussed the script of Another Dimension with Phillo, and after listening to it, Phillo knew the content of the script. So, based on his position as a psychology expert, he gave some suggestions, which benefited Teng Shu a lot. Now this movie will be more professional in psychology and less likely to be criticized.

How to shoot an excellent professional TV series or movie? The simplest thing is to remove the love scenes, invite professionals in this profession to give guidance, and do some grassroots research. Then you can shoot a good professional movie instead of a bad movie that is complained by countless people.

But Teng Shu had watched countless movies and TV series like this in his previous life. It seemed that these screenwriters would not write unless they added some romantic elements into them. Later, Teng Shu summed it up himself and concluded that it was probably because adding such elements made it easier to make the plot more watery.

"Mr. Phillo, are you interested in playing a role?" Teng Shu looked at Phillo in front of him. The other party was already 37 years old, not young, and was a little bald, which fits the stereotype of a reliable doctor in the eyes of the public.

In Another Dimension, the protagonist's colleague is of this image.

Sure enough, Phillo agreed very quickly. After all, he had no reason not to agree, and he could get paid as an actor. Director Teng Shu has always been generous to actors. Although he would not be a sucker and spend 100 million to hire a young actor, it would be no problem for him to pay him enough to match his status.

This also leads to the high popularity of Ghost Pictures' extras and some minor supporting roles. Many people want to come in and act in the show. Even if they can't become famous, at least it can improve their lives. Of course, there are also many people who think that Teng Shu is just buying people's hearts and pretending to be compassionate. It can only be said that it is difficult for anyone to be liked by everyone.

After Phillo was confirmed, the preparations for the filming of Another Dimension began to proceed in an orderly manner. At the same time, Ghost Pictures also started to become busy, after all, Teng Shuxia had released several scripts.

"Sharknado" and "Carrie" are both films waiting to be filmed, and even films like "Batman: The Dark Knight" are still in preparation. Although Teng Shu has not completed the final adaptation, basic work still needs to be done.

And in this situation, a strange man came to Ghost Pictures.

"Sir, do you mean to say that you are here to send an actor to a performance?" The lady at the front desk looked at the burly man in front of her puzzledly. His muscles were so swollen that they pushed his clothes up, but there was not a single hair on his head, not even eyebrows. This made the lady at the front desk worried that she had encountered a pervert.

"Oh, yes, Teng Shu and I made an appointment to send Xiaoyueliang here to play the role of Witch Carrie." The sturdy man scratched his bald head and said with a smile. The receptionist then saw the tiny Lalulas, who was looking at her timidly. Seeing Lalulas, the receptionist also remembered what Zoroark's secretary had told her.

The movie "Carrie" shot by their boss has a protagonist candidate, and that candidate is Lalu Las named Little Moon, who needs to be received well. Thinking of this, the expression of the receptionist became enthusiastic.

Gengar wiped the sweat from his forehead, he was really not used to interacting with so many people, but there was no other way, in order to fulfill Little Moon's wish, Gengar forced himself to come. Looking at the bustling Ghost Pictures in front of him, Gengar also had some sighs. Unknowingly, Teng Shu, who always lost to him in rock-paper-scissors, has also become a overlord.

Teng Shu:?
"Is that Xiaoyue? Please come over here." Soon, the crew of Witch Carrie took Gengar and Xiaoyue away, and Gengar began to officially get involved in the filming process of the movie.

Seeing Xiaoyue busying around on the set, Geng Gui felt a little distressed, but facing this problem, he didn't have any better solution. He could only watch Xiaoyue constantly adapt to the rhythm of filming.

"Oh? Gengar is here with Little Moon? This is quite interesting. When you're done filming, edit it and show it to me." Teng Shu sat in his chair, listening to Zoroark's report with a hint of curiosity in his eyes. He was really curious about this matter.

Zoroark also smiled. It was also very interested in this question, but now it was more concerned about who the woman standing next to Teng Shu was.

Zoroark looked at the woman with some doubts. She looked very ordinary, nothing surprising, but Zoroark felt a strange pressure from her, as if
It couldn't explain it, it was just very strange, as if this woman could threaten it, which was outrageous. It was a ghost Pokémon, and normally there was no way to deal with it, at least not humans. But now this sense of threat was so strong, which was very strange.

"Boss, who is this?" Zoroark looked at the other party curiously and asked. After hearing this, Teng Shu turned his head and took a look. Then Kayako blinked at him. Teng Shu's mouth twitched. This was Kayako, but Teng Shu couldn't introduce her to Zoroark, after all, Zoroark couldn't understand her.

"This is my specially hired employee, a screenwriter who is very good at designing horror plots." Teng Shu coughed, and Zoroark nodded as if he understood, but it always felt that something was wrong.

Kayako's mouth corners slightly raised, she glanced at Teng Shu, as if she didn't expect Teng Shu to say that, with a hint of smile in her eyes, she then politely greeted Zoroark. (End of this chapter)
