Pokémon's Lord of Fear

Chapter 67 Teng Shu: If you are not scared enough, then just
There is a vicious circle in the film industry.

If a good work is made into a sequel, it is rare that the sequel can satisfy the audience, and even rarer that it can surpass the first one.

There may even be a problem where the quality of the film gets worse the more it is shot.

Among them, the more well-known is the Saw series. The first Saw is a very excellent masterpiece, but the later ones get worse and worse. However, investors are still willing to invest because as long as they use the Saw IP, they can make a lot of money.

There is also the unlucky Jason, who died again and again, but because of his high popularity, he was resurrected again and again, and later even killed his way into the universe.

However, careful viewers will find that the director and screenwriter of these sequels are often not the same person, because the investors have replaced the director and the scriptwriter. After all, excellent directors are often unwilling to make bad movies.

Teng Shu didn't have any concerns in this regard.

He is the one who is rich and willful.

Teng Shu felt that this was quite good. At least he would not be forced to make a bad movie. He was the biggest investor in the entire film industry. Who had the ability to force him to make a bad movie?

Even when someone wanted to buy the copyright of Dead Silence before, Teng Shu did not agree, because he did not want these people to take his work and turn it into Dead Silence 2 or Dead Silence 3. By then, although careful viewers will find that the director is not him, there will always be people who think that Teng Shu has fallen and started making bad movies.

"Click! Next, let's prepare the scene for the TV station!" Teng Shu stood up.

It is night now. Although the Pokémon in the weather team can pray for rain or snow, it is still difficult to turn night into day.

But this also brings up a problem. If the battle takes place at night, wouldn't the Sunny Day Team be completely scrapped?
[Xiaozhi commanded Charizard to use Sunny Day]

[Because it was night, the sunny day failed]

emmmm
There doesn't seem to be such a setting in the game, but when I think about using sunny days at night to make the sunlight stronger, it always feels a bit strange. Could it be that it makes the moonlight stronger? After all, the moon also reflects the light of the sun.

Teng Shu shook his head violently and put these strange thoughts behind him. Now was not the time to think about scientific issues.

Now the crew has arrived at the Nianguang City TV Station to shoot an evening scene.

In fact, indoor scenes do not have such strict weather and time requirements, after all, they can be set up. However, considering the limited energy of the director and editor in post-production, and the fact that the audiences are so resourceful that they watch movies through a magnifying glass, in order to avoid his own movies appearing in some strange "movie bloopers", Teng Shu can only be a little strict.

Although there are some programs on TV stations in the evening, the crew has already communicated with the TV station in advance, so it is not difficult to reserve a shooting location.

With the arrival of a group of extras, the first high-energy scene of Ghost Call also arrived.

Teng Shu watched intently, and then shouted "Cut" more than a dozen times in the middle of the film, all because the actors' eyes did not express themselves well enough.

"Xiaohong, your eyes need to show a little more fear and despair, okay?" Teng Shu said earnestly, looking at the supporting actress in front of him.

The other person rubbed his red eyes and nodded vigorously.

She failed more than a dozen times in a row. Although others didn't say anything, she felt very embarrassed. She was also afraid of losing the opportunity to play the supporting actress. You know, Teng Shu is a new director who has squeezed into the big directors with just one work.

However, looking at Xiao Hong's appearance, Teng Shu also had a headache. This scene is one of the most frightening scenes in the movie "Call". In fact, it can't be said to be particularly scary, but in the whole movie "Call", it is still scary enough.

This supporting actress needs to be killed by the evil spirit on TV, in front of everyone and with the exorcist powerless, to show how helpless Mimiko is.

Further amplifying the fear.

This is also a common technique used in many horror movies from island countries.

That is, the evil spirit is extremely powerful and kills people for no reason. Such indiscriminate killing is likely to cause fear among people.

It’s just that the supporting actress’ eyesight has always been not so good, and looks a little dull.

"Zoroak." Teng Shu called Zoroak over, and he decided to find a way to solve this problem from Zoroak.

After all, fake fear is not as scary as real fear. If Teng Shu wants to achieve the effect he wants, he has to use some tricks. Otherwise, with the acting skills of this female supporting role, Teng Shu doesn't know how many times he will have to cut.

".Is it okay?" Teng Shu told Zoroark about his idea, and then Teng Shu saw that Zoroark's eyes were glowing, and at the same time a dark purple light flashed by, which made Teng Shu stunned for a moment.

"Of course no problem! But it costs money." Zoroark said excitedly. Teng Shu nodded. As for adding money, this problem is simple. Things that can be solved with money are not a problem.

Watching Zoroark happily making preparations, Teng Shu stared at Zoroark's back. He just saw a dark purple light in Zoroark's eyes.

That is the characteristic of ghost-type moves. Whenever Gengar used his ability before, there would be this dark purple light.

But isn't Zoroark a Dark-type Pokémon?
"Maybe it learned some ghost-attribute moves?" Teng Shu didn't think much about it. It wasn't surprising for a Dark-type Pokémon to know ghost moves. The Zoroark that Teng Shu had trained before had also learned Shadow Claws.

Soon, Teng Shu focused his attention on the shooting scene.

As the crew got ready once again, the TV station scenes began filming once again.

Xia Mei sat upright in her seat. In front of her was an exorcist chanting strange spells. Behind her she could see the filming crew from the TV station. However, the fear of death gripped Xia Mei's heart all the time.

"Crack!"

Teng Shu shouted, interrupting the atmosphere, and then a stagehand ran over in a hurry, holding a doll in his hand whose shape made people feel a little scared.

The actor who played Xia Mei knew that this puppet was the ghost that would come out to scare her later. Could there be something wrong with the props?
Director Teng Shu looked very unhappy, but he still picked up the loudspeaker helplessly.

"There's something wrong with this doll now. This time we have to shoot without physical objects and add special effects in later stage. Xia Mei, are you okay?" Teng Shu asked the female supporting role, who nodded quickly.

Teng Shu then nodded and continued filming, and Xia Mei felt a little relieved.

Even though it was shot without a real object, she still found the doll a bit creepy.
