Japanese Entertainment: From special effects actor to action superstar

Chapter 303 I Was Not Bullied by Them
Another new day.

When Gu Ming opened his eyes, what he saw was the ceiling of the office.

He hadn't been home for several days and was in a terrible mood. He was afraid that he wouldn't be able to control himself after returning, so he simply slept in the office.

"Brother Furuya." Manatsu Ryuu looked at Gu Ming with concern. "Why don't you just not go? Kurosawa is amazing, but there's no need to stay with him, right?"

"I don't care. Let's wait a little longer." Gu Ming said, "Don't worry about my business for now. How are you doing?"

"I'm fine. I failed the audition as expected. Actually, I was looking forward to it, but since I failed, there's nothing wrong with it." Zhen Xialong spread his hands.

After all, the role's positioning didn't quite fit him, so he wasn't too disappointed if he didn't get it.

"But I did get another role, so it's OK."

Gu Ming nodded, not too surprised by this.

"Keep busy, I have to go to work."

Gu Ming waved his hand and called Koizumi, preparing to go to Toho.

However, Gu Ming didn't expect it.

Good things don't go out, bad things pass thousands of miles.

When he came back in the evening, it seemed as if the whole world knew about this matter. In addition to the people in the office, people outside also started calling to ask about it.

Jissoji Akio: "You guy, I told you not to offend Kurosawa Akira, and now you're being bullied!"

Wanguyi: "Would you like to stay in Wangu for a few days?"

Narita Toru: "Asshole, come out and have a drink."

Shotaro Ishinomori: "Don't worry. When you feel sad, just put on your windbreaker and go for a ride on your motorcycle."

Watanabe Ryosuke: "Kurosawa has a terrible temper. Why don't you talk to Katsu Shintaro?"

TBS old friends group: "Why don't you just go back to the TV drama industry!"

……

There were so many calls of condolence that Gu Ming was at a loss whether to laugh or cry, and made an invisible gesture to Koizumi.

Wait for Zhen Xialong to come back, find an opportunity to put a sack on him and beat him up!
This kid, why does he tell everything outside?

"No, I'm fine, thanks for your concern. I'm not being bullied. I'm an adult, and if reason doesn't make sense, I happen to have a pair of fists to explain physics."

"Advertise in the newspaper? File a lawsuit? I haven't thought about that."

"If the day ever comes when I can't bear it any longer, I'll just lose everything I've got."

Only after he had comforted his concerned relatives and friends one by one did Gu Ming breathe a sigh of relief.

It's impossible to say that he didn't have any emotions, but Gu Ming was still a little unconvinced.

If he can't be like Takeda Shingen, then even Takeda Nobumasa won't be allowed to be.

Then, Gu Ming still insisted on playing the role of Takeda Nobumasa.

Not wanting to go home today, Gu Ming stuffed the edited tape into the VCR and watched it over and over again.

Nakadai Tatsuya, Mifune Toshiro... one after another, the shining stars in the sword and halberd films appeared before him.

Gu Ming raised his head slightly when he heard the sound of light footsteps, but he was somewhat surprised.

"I'm telling you, you're not going home."

Kanako Higuchi folded her hands in front of her knees and bowed deeply.

"I just heard about your recent difficulties, so I thought I'd come and visit you."

"I'm fine, thank you for your concern." Gu Ming wanted to ask her to sit down, but after thinking about it, he pointed to the opposite side.

"Please sit down. I'm fine now. I just need to get to know the other actors."

Gu Ming tapped his eyebrows with his backhand.

After all, this is not an easy role to perform.

She sat there, hands folded in front of her face, pondering for a moment before speaking. "Actually, I never thought I'd become an actress."

Gu Ming said, "Yeah."

Kanako Higuchi said, "I was just working part-time at a smoothie shop in Ginza when someone suddenly came to me and asked me to play a role. Although the pay wasn't very high, it was a rare opportunity. Since it was a part-time job, I agreed. I didn't expect that after that, I would have a completely different acting experience."

"After that, I participated in several different works, and they were all excellent. Sometimes when I walked on the street, people would recognize me and suddenly call out my name from the play. It felt so wonderful, as if I had appeared in the play."

Of course, sometimes people ask me if I’m really dating someone, but that’s a really hard question to answer.

Gu Ming tilted his head slightly and met those serious eyes.

"So, what do you want to say?"

"Ah... I mean, in our eyes, Furuya-kun always seems to be magical and able to do many things. So, this time should be the same."

After all, Kanako Higuchi felt a little embarrassed.

Well, it sounds like words of encouragement, but it really doesn't sound like one.

Gu Ming understood the meaning and couldn't help but smile.

Just as I was thinking about what to say, I suddenly heard a voice.

"You guys look pretty busy."

Gu Ming turned around and saw the little pill coming closer with its short legs.

She looked at Gu Ming, then at Kanako Higuchi, who was sitting on the other side of the sofa with some distance between them.

Ouch.

If I had known you were coming, I wouldn't have come. So, was it me who came, or were all the sisters here...

Although she didn't know much about literary works set in different time and space, she still had this idea at this moment.

"Dad said he has a ticket for a play by the famous 'Haiyuza'. If you have time soon, I hope you can go see the play with me. That 'Haiyuza' is very good, and Nakadai Tatsuya was once an artist there."

Gu Ming let out an "oh".

That's pretty impressive!
Of course, he didn't know much about drama, let alone Japanese drama.

But since Tatsuya Nakadai has been there before, it seems that Haiyuza is indeed very valuable.

"But you actually came here so late." Gu Ming stood up, groped in the dark on the coffee table, and found the key.

"I will send you back."

"No, my dad sent me here."

After rejecting Gu Ming's invitation, Yakushimaru Hiroko suddenly changed her mind.

"But, let's get that role. Dad always nags me about what would have happened if I had worked with Ken Takakura... Qi, I hate it. Ken Takakura wouldn't think much of me, right? And if you get this role, you'll definitely be more powerful than Ken Takakura, and I won't have to listen to his nagging anymore."

Gu Ming hesitated to speak.

How should I tell Yaowanzi?

In fact, Ken Takakura values you very much!

Her first debut was as a supporting role to Ken Takakura. Although it was a supporting role, she had a lot of screen time and could even be called the heroine.

After a long silence, Gu Ming finally spoke: "I will."

"Yeah, I'm leaving then."

"give you?"

"No, mind your own business, idiot."

Gu Ming looked at Higuchi Kanako, who also bowed slightly: "Then I will not bother Furuya-kun anymore."

After saying that, he also turned and left.
