Pokémon's Lord of Fear

Teng Shu watched this scene excitedly.

In Ghost Call, this part of the plot actually doesn't have many frightening moments, it's more like a suspense segment, but it also paves the way for the follow-up, and also leads to the fact that this time the evil spirit kills people with the help of a mobile phone.

Moreover, it has a very sassy murder preview, using the victim's own voice and a specific time to complete this incredible evil spirit killing method. This design was very clever even at the time, not to mention that the Pokémon League is not very good at making horror movies.

"Come on, save one." Teng Shu looked at the toilet scene after it was filmed and was very satisfied, but he still asked for a save.

"Boss, will there be a sequel to this?" Zoroark walked over and asked Teng Shu excitedly.

"Not in the short term." Teng Shu shook his head.

The plot of the first part of "Call on Me" was very good and cleverly designed, but the second part was filmed in a different location and was not as scary enough. The third part instead borrowed from European and American plasma films, with large-scale deaths, which Teng Shu didn't like very much either.

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 Xiaohong's appearance, Teng Shu also had a headache.

This scene is one of the more frightening parts of the movie “Call.” It’s not particularly scary, but in the context of the entire movie, it’s 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.

Chapter 68: Ghost Call Crew Strange Talk

Xia Mei looked at the exorcist in front of her with a hint of nervousness in her eyes, and then glanced around from time to time, as if she was worried that the evil spirit was about to come and claim her life.

And at this moment, the time has come.

A strange music suddenly resounded throughout the TV station's filming crew. Everyone present looked at each other in surprise. The staff in the back also asked each other where the sound came from, but only Xia Mei knew that this was the sound of an evil spirit demanding her life.

The exorcist was instantly blown away, and the staff nearby were not spared either. They screamed and dodged, and it seemed that Xia Mei was the only one left in the entire venue.

Xia Mei screamed and fell to the ground, then touched the cell phone that was ringing with the life-threatening sound. She seemed to have collapsed at this moment. She ran frantically to the back and pulled away the cloth blocking the back, but the exposed scene made her stunned.

She remembered that the photo on her phone seemed to show this scene.

"How should I act next?" Xia Mei was a little confused. How should she act out the effect that Director Teng Shu wanted to express?

And it has to be in this case..

Looking at the camera floating in front of her due to her super powers, Xia Mei didn't know why she couldn't feel afraid.

But just as she was racking her brains to think of those horrible things, she suddenly saw a hand reaching out from the wall.

Pale, eerie hands.

With her hands on the wall, Xia Mei was completely confused at this moment.

What's going on? Didn't Director Teng Shu say that the doll had a problem and had been sent for repair, so they would shoot without the real thing? And she also saw the doll being carried away.

Then, before Xia Mei could react, she saw a horrible, weird woman's head sticking out from the wall, looking at her with a weird expression, which made Xia Mei's pupils dilate.

An inexplicable and weird atmosphere surged up, and Xia Mei was frightened and let out a scream.

"Xia Mei!" Yumei also rushed in.

Xia Mei turned around and looked at Yumi, and then she saw that the ghost behind her in the camera looked more and more terrifying, while Yumi and the others glanced at the screen and showed expressions of shock and fear.

"Yumi, it's really here..." Xia Mei wanted to say something, but then she felt a chill, and her outstretched hand seemed to be caught by something.

"Ahhhh!"

"Crack!" Teng Shu looked at Xia Mei, who was so scared that she jumped around on the spot, dancing and slapping her clothes. He felt a little amused, but he still shouted "crack".

Xia Mei was crying, and although Yumi and the others didn't know what had happened, they still went up to comfort Xia Mei, and then asked her what was wrong in confusion.

Although the actress who plays Xia Mei is not a big name, she is still a qualified actress. There is no reason for her to cry like this.

"I... I saw a ghost... There is a ghost, there really is a ghost." Xia Mei pointed behind her tremblingly. In her sight, the woman disappeared, and was replaced by a man who looked very familiar, as if he was the secretary of the director?

"Oh, sorry, Miss Xia Mei, I was just testing a new doll. I hope I didn't scare you?" Zoroark looked at Xia Mei happily and said with a smile. Xia Mei was stunned for a moment.

The two actors next to them were also stunned for a second, and they looked at each other in confusion.

"No, it turns out to be a new doll. I'm so sorry for my loss of composure." Xia Mei wiped her tears, climbed up again, and said a little embarrassedly.

Teng Shu and Zoroark both smiled and said it was okay. Teng Shu looked at Xia Mei's frightened expression on the screen and smiled.

Look, what a delicious fear.

And it looks very realistic, with those micro-expressions of shock, fear in the eyes and trembling lips, which can be used as teaching materials for Beijing Film Academy.

But the judges certainly could not have imagined that this was not acting at all, but was really caused by being scared.

"Let the special effects team's Ditto come on stage." Teng Shu clapped his hands. Now, Xia Mei's storyline would be completed after finishing the previous few clips. At that time, Xia Mei's actor would officially end her role in The Call.

The next segment requires the help of Ditto.

In the plot, Xia Mei will be controlled by an invisible evil spirit, who will then bend her joints, twist her neck with her own hands, pull her head off and throw it to the ground.

This is a special effects plot in the original film, and it looks a bit fake due to the technical limitations at the time. But now in the world of Pokémon, there is naturally a solution.

That's Ditto.

However, there is a problem with Ditto, that is, the people and Pokémon it transforms into will have dotted eyes.

But this problem is easy to solve, just add special effects.

So after Ditto comes on stage, today's filming is almost over.

"Sister Meiyuan, did you see that doll just now? It's really scary!" In the actors' resting area, Xia Mei was changing clothes. She patted her chest. Even now, she was still a little frightened.

Miharan, who plays Yumi, looks at Natsumi with a strange expression.

"Xiaomu and I didn't see any puppets just now. We were performing according to the requirements of the script." Xiaomu hesitated for a moment, but still said it in a low voice.

She and Xiaomu did not see any puppet. On the camera screen of the movie that was broadcast on TV, there was only Xia Mei's actor looking at them in horror. There was no puppet at all.

However, Mihara and Xiaomu are both veteran actors. Although they couldn't see the puppets, it was not difficult to perform a non-proprietary performance, so they naturally took the job.

And when Xia Mei heard what Mihara said, her face turned pale.

What does this mean? Could it be that I really saw it at that time?

Just when Natsumi and Mihara were about to turn this into a ghost story from the "Ghost Call" crew, Zoroark knocked on the door, explained the situation to Mihara and Natsumi, and gave them two thousand yuan in nutrition fees.

For actress Natsumi.

Zoroark explained that what Xia Mei had just encountered was actually an illusion performance aimed at her alone, in order to achieve the effect that Teng Shu wanted. Xia Mei finally breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this, otherwise she would probably not be able to sleep when she returned home at night.

Although she was shocked, it was fine as long as she could get through the filming. When she finished filming and looked for other work, she could increase her pay.

Chapter 69: A money-seeking spirit? A life-seeking spirit!

"Okay, today's filming is over." As Xia Mei's head, which was transformed by Ditto, fell to the ground, Teng Shu clapped his hands, ending today's filming.

Today's filming went smoothly overall, but the plot at the TV station still needs to be refined, otherwise it will be difficult to achieve the effect that Teng Shu wanted.

The stagehands began to pack up the props and clear the venue, and Zoroark also walked over in a happy mood.

Teng Shu glanced at it. This guy looked very happy.
