Japanese Entertainment: From special effects actor to action superstar

Chapter 302: Xinlian and Xinxuan are only one step away

Perhaps what happened that day was like opening a door to some ancient world, releasing countless demons and monsters in an instant.

From that day on, Gu Ming felt that the atmosphere in the studio was getting worse and worse, becoming more gloomy every day. It seemed that everyone's temper became extremely irritable, and even his work as an assistant was not going smoothly. Kurosawa would appear in front of him almost whenever he had time and scold and curse him mercilessly, as if all the problems in the filming preparations were caused by him alone.

Gu Ming endured it.

Before going crazy, he wanted to see how far Kurosawa would go.

"I just can't believe that a world-renowned international director would hold a grudge like a child."

Gu Mingxin said that if it really didn't work, he would have to beat Kurosawa Akira up to vent his anger!

Faintly, he heard some commotion in the crowd. Gu Ming followed the line of sight and looked up, only to see a heavyweight figure appear in the studio.

Nakadai Tatsuya.

After receiving the call, Nakadai Tatsuya worked day and night to finish the play at hand, and then came to assist.

This was naturally the first time that Gu Ming met Nakadai Tatsuya. Before this, Gu Ming's deepest impression of this actor was that he was Kurosawa Akira's favorite leading actor.

Just like the unique aesthetic of this era, he is tough and masculine, but different from Toshiro Mifune. Perhaps because he often plays some gloomy roles, Tatsuya Nakadai's temperament is a bit more feminine than Toshiro Mifune.

Tatsuya Nakadai, who is 1.80 meters tall, is also a rare tall man in Japan. He attracts many people's attention when he walks.

"So, Nakadai Tatsuya is here to play Takeda Shingen and Kagemusha." Tani Akira nodded secretly.

And if nothing unexpected happens, he should be Takeda Nobumasa.

Actually, in the play, Nakadai Tatsuya is his elder brother.

……

……

It is obvious that Kurosawa is quite satisfied with Tatsuya Nakadai, especially since Tatsuya Nakadai specially finished the work at hand and came to help, which is what Kurosawa appreciates the most.

Naturally, Kurosawa also attacked Gu Ming with sarcasm and sticks, but Gu Ming had gotten used to it these days and just ignored it.

At lunch time, Gu Ming went to find Nakadai Tatsuya.

"Mr. Nakadai, my name is Akira Furuya, and I'm currently serving as Mr. Akira Kurosawa's assistant."

"Oh! You are Furuya Akira." Nakadai Tatsuya was sitting in the dressing room eating lunch. When he heard Akira greeting him, he put down his lunch box, stood up and greeted him.

"I heard that you are very innovative and unique in scene design. Mr. Lian has high praise for you, so he asked you to be his assistant when preparing the new work."

Gu Mingxin said that Nakadai Tatsuya was quite good at speaking and sounded quite nice.

"Mr. Li is a bad-tempered person. When we first worked together, I was often tortured. Although I only played a role without any lines at the beginning, I was tortured repeatedly for a long time."

When Nakadai Tatsuya talked about his first experience of participating in the performance, he still felt a lot of emotion.

It was so painful! So much so that many years later, Nakadai Tatsuya insisted that he would never appear in Kurosawa's film again.

After a brief conversation, Gu Ming didn't say much, just talked about the role and his recent confusion.

"Speaking of which, Mr. Kurosawa Akira said that he could let me play the role of Takeda Nobumasa, but the prerequisite is that I must get his approval. This role is not easy to portray."

"It's Takeda Nobumasa." Nakadai Tatsuya nodded slightly: "Speaking of this character..."

He was just about to share some of his thoughts on the performance when he saw Honda Ishiro appear at the door.

"Nakadai-kun, the master has something to tell you."

"now?"

"Yes, right now."

"Oh, yes." Nakadai Tatsuya turned around and looked at Gu Ming, bowing slightly: "Then I'll go ahead." Gu Ming naturally had no reason to stop him, so he acquiesced.

Not long after, Nakadai Tatsuya came back, looking like a different person.

"Nakadai..."

"Aki Furuya."

"Yes, what's wrong?"

"If you don't even have this level of acting ability, then don't be an actor. Okay, I still need to eat, so don't get in my way."

Gu Ming:?
What the hell.

It seems that Kurosawa really wants to be beaten!
Gu Ming clenched his fists and his face turned red. In the end, he could only say something in a low voice.

Fine!

……

……

As a beloved general, Tatsuya Nakadai naturally had some privileges and could speak frankly with Kurosawa when meeting him.

"Sir, I don't really understand why you want to torture him so deliberately."

Kurosawa didn't even look up, but just raised a finger.

Nakadai Tatsuya didn't understand: "What does that mean?"

Kurosawa didn't answer. Instead, he asked, "What do you think is the difference between Takeda Nobumasa and Takeda Shingen?"

Of course, the difference is not in the difficulty of the performance.

Nakadai Tatsuya immediately replied: "Takeda Shingen is the grown-up Takeda Nobumasa, and Takeda Nobumasa is the unsuccessful Takeda Shingen."

"That's right. That's exactly what I was going to say."

Kurosawa said, "Then answer me another question. Is Shadow Warrior actually Takeda Shingen?"

Nakadai Tatsuya had already read the script, and when faced with this question, he also answered immediately: "A shadow warrior is a shadow warrior, a shadow warrior that belongs to him. However, when he appears on the long battlefield, when he raises the Takeda clan's battle flag, he is Takeda Shingen."

"Yes."

Kurosawa nodded slightly: "So, this is what I will do. If I can carry the flag of the Takeda family, then the shadow warrior is Takeda Shingen. If I can't do it, then I will just be Takeda Nobumasa."

He waved his hand. "Alright, that's it. Don't mention anything else. Nothing can be changed until the filming officially starts."

Nakadai Tatsuya naturally responded, but he couldn't help but secretly twitched the corners of his mouth.

so.

If the shadow warrior can become Takeda Shingen, it means that he is here to play Takeda Nobumasa.

Takeda Nobumasa is of course also a heavyweight character, but why is he made to play a supporting role?

"It's strangely annoying, yet also somewhat exciting. However, a Shadow Warrior is only a Shadow Warrior after all. Can he really become Takeda Shingen so easily?"

After reading the script of Thief Shadow Warrior, he knew that this was a difficult task.

The thief shadow warrior in the story also experienced many changes in mentality before he finally voluntarily became Takeda Shingen's shadow warrior. After that, after taking up the military flag, he truly became Takeda Shingen from the inside out, rather than Takeda Shingen's incarnation.

Perhaps only Kurosawa Akira would be so unscrupulous as to torture actors like this.
