Japanese Entertainment: From special effects actor to action superstar

Chapter 315 The Key Points of Action
Gu Ming has a bookshelf with many souvenirs on it, all of which are various traces left since Gu Ming came here.

For example, a Pilot pen is Tetsuo Kaneshiro's pen.

A plaster bust of the original Ultraman, which was made by Toru Narita before and used for shooting chest lights.

The tie was tied for him by Keiji Takamine on the spot when they were filming Tomb of Renyi.

A pair of glasses stuck together with tape, Seven glasses.

Hurricane Belt, used by Kamen Rider.

Handcuffs, brought back by the Maoyan crew.

A magical instrument used when filming the Nara Scroll of Vengeful Spirits.

Now, there is one more collection here.

A Suwa Hosyo helmet with a white mane that is particularly eye-catching.

After returning from the filming of Shadow Warrior, Kurosawa Akira left this helmet to Gu Ming. It is a one-to-one replica of the one in the museum.

"Ah...wait a minute."

Shaqin moved closer and examined it carefully. "If it's a replica, will it have a museum stamp?"

Gu Ming: ...?
He took a closer look and couldn't help but gasp at the tofu skin sushi.

I heard that during the on-site filming, the armor was borrowed from a real collection and reproduced one-to-one.

Maybe the replica was returned to the museum, and the original was mistaken for a replica and given to him as a gift!
"It's okay, it's okay. Many years from now, if Takeda Shingen learns that I have collected his helmet, he will be proud of me."

Gu Ming turned the helmet over so that the mark could not be seen.

I don’t know whether it’s real or not, but Gu Ming will not return the helmet to the museum.

This is the souvenir he brought back after six months of hard work!
Finally returning home, Gu Ming felt relaxed and lay on the ground, refusing to get up.

"This was probably the most painful shoot I've ever had. Although I didn't take it seriously at first, it was really tormenting for a while. Fortunately, the final result was great, and I also discovered new potential in myself... Well, how should I put it? It's probably what's called 'method school'."

If you know one thing, you know a hundred. Gu Ming believes that his acting skills have improved significantly compared to the past.

However, this cannot be called acting, but rather relying on his strong control over his body to force himself into that appearance.

For example, most people cry by crying, but Gu Ming's crying is to repeatedly beat the muscles until the muscles tighten and tears are squeezed out.

But at least the effect looks good enough to the audience, so that's fine.

Gu Ming kept talking about the filming on the set, about Kurosawa Akira, who was irritable and easily angered, making people want to beat him up, about the two bearded men George Lucas and Coppola, and about the heavy rain that they had been waiting for for many years.

Shaqin listened quietly without interrupting.

Finally, Gu Ming looked up suddenly.

"If I have time tomorrow, I'd like to meet him."

……

……

A familiar detention center.

However, it is more like a house of house arrest than a detention center.

It was here that Gu Ming met Yi Bu Yao again.

This middle-aged man, with a fair complexion and gentle manners, did not look like someone who could have done such things.

When they met again, Yi Bu Yao smiled calmly and bowed slightly to Gu Ming.

"Long time no see, so how have you been lately?"

Gu Ming nodded and talked about his experience this time.

"Yes, I performed in many works and did some of the things I wanted to do. I was able to quietly make an impact. And as I said before, I participated in Kurosawa Akira's works."

"Yeah, that's Kurosawa."

Part B will sigh slightly.

Regardless of what happens in the future, Kurosawa Akira is a symbol of influence in this era. His works are able to transcend national boundaries.

"So, have you thought about what to do next?"

Gu Ming nodded and roughly drew a circle.

"The Tang Dynasty. I intend to start with the Tang Dynasty and create a subtle influence."

"Tang Dynasty." Otobe Kaname's eyes lit up slightly. "You've chosen a very clever era." Japanese culture itself was deeply influenced by Tang Dynasty culture, and many even consider themselves the orthodox inheritors of the Tang Dynasty.

This is like Vietnam to the Song Dynasty and the Peninsula to the Ming Dynasty. These countries themselves are deeply influenced by the cultural motherland of the corresponding era.

There is a saying in Korean movies.

It is my greatest honor to be a dog of the Ming Dynasty!
Unlike some stray dogs that run around without even knowing who their owners are.

At the same time, the Tang Dynasty was an era with deep exchanges with overseas countries, and its form had many overseas characteristics, making it easy for people to accept.

"In short, this is my idea," Gu Ming concluded, saying, "Starting from this cultural symbol of the Tang Dynasty, a fixed image characteristic was formed, achieving the effect of output, and then indirectly conveying a way of dealing with the world."

What are the characteristics of the Tang Dynasty?
Inclusive and tolerant, sexuality is like a raging fire...

Although Chinatown has nothing to do with the Tang Dynasty, it can exist when necessary.

"Have a good rest," Otobe said. "You look exhausted. Kurosawa Akira is not an easy person to get along with. Remember to balance work and rest. Pushing yourself too hard sometimes doesn't lead to good results."

"Yes, I appreciate your teachings." Gu Ming bowed.

The time is almost up and it's time for the meeting to end.

Part B has to drag the chain and stand up shakily.

Gu Ming suddenly called out to him.

"Will there be a day when you can come out?"

"No. If I can get out, there are only two possibilities. First, we win. Second, I die."

Yi Buyao tapped his temple with his backhand and gave Gu Ming an exceptionally carefree smile.

Gu Ming just stood there and watched Unit B leave.

Gu Ming knew that there was no way he would be released from prison, even if he read the lawyer's notes thoroughly, because Part B wanted to be a doer, and people who could get things done were too dangerous.

……

……

The next day, Gu Ming went to Yokohama.

Yokohama is not too far from Tokyo.

Gu Ming gave the agency a week off. Except for a few people who had to participate in the filming, everyone else could go if they wanted.

The money was taken out from the office, which was equivalent to a team-building activity. As for other matters, Manatsu Ryu was the one who contacted them. He was from Yokohama and knew everything about it.

"So, we are going to go sea fishing."

Gu Ming stood outside the port with empty hands, feeling a little sad.

He had never fished before, let alone sea fishing.

Gu Ming allowed everyone to bring their families, so there were quite a few people waiting here now.

"You're going fishing with nothing?"

"I don't know. There should be tools on the boat... Why are you here?" Gu Ming turned around and saw Yakushimaru Hiroko, and was shocked: "Why are you here?"

"I'm on winter vacation!"

"Where's your guardian?"

"Dad said you can just take care of me."

"Your father really trusts me."

Gu Ming couldn't help but hold his forehead.

That's fine! After all, he is a trustworthy man.

Gu Ming turned his gaze back to the port, where a minibus drove out.

Zhen Xialong peeked out of the minibus and said hello, "Everyone, we've already made contact and found a boat. The crew is professional, so there will be no problem... Brother Furuya, where are your tools?"

"hold head high?!"

Gu Ming turned around and took a look.

Indeed, many people brought a lot of things in large and small bags, but he was the only one who didn't take anything except some spare clothes and a small bag for Shaqin.

Zhen Xialong sighed, "You're not really planning on going into the sea to fight sharks without a fishing rod, Brother Furuya!"
