Japanese Entertainment: From special effects actor to action superstar

Chapter 323 Then, it was decided to be Takashi Mio

Gu Ming has already sent the cast and crew list to Toei.

Watanabe Ryosuke read it and found no problem, but he had some objections.

"Speaking of which, has Furuya-kun decided where to set the shop that serves as the Armor Team's hideout in the storyline?"

"Oh, I'm going to talk to Thalia."

Watanabe Ryosuke imagined the scene.

Salia, which looks like a family restaurant on the surface, is actually the place where the Armor Warriors transform. When you open the toilet, you will find that the underground base is full of Armor Warriors!

This is equivalent to using Toei's platform to run an advertisement throughout the entire film.

"If Saria isn't willing to pay, we can see if we can set up other stores, or I can make up a ramen shop or something like that."

Well, Gu Ming has already thought of a name, it’s called Lanzhou Beef Noodles…

Watanabe Ryosuke pointed again.

"Meizhen's role is also very important. As the core of the team, she is equivalent to the commander and can also balance the atmosphere within the team. This requires finding a sufficiently outstanding woman. Don't you have a suitable candidate, Furuya-kun?"

"I really do."

Gu Ming closed his eyes and counted with his fingers, blah blah...

"There's someone named Yukari Sadaya in Yokohama. I think he has a good image."

Watanabe Ryosuke:?
What the hell is this! Choose actors with your eyes closed!

But Gu Ming had already decided that she would play Meizhen.

Watanabe Ryosuke said no more.

Toei had already promoted two male actors, and he knew that Gu Ming had his own people to promote, so he stopped interfering.

As for other characters like King Kai's Ugly General Balabala, such supporting roles are very easy to find.

Gu Ming also reserved a role for Kanako Higuchi, which is 'Bing'er' of the Dark Demon Realm and the childhood sweetheart of Snow Leopard Armor.

It's a pity for Yaowanzi. She was too young to play any role, so she had to make do with playing the boss's daughter.

Everything was settled, and now Watanabe Ryosuke had only one problem.

Who is Yukari Sadaya?
……

……

Yukari Sadaya, this name is not famous, but she has a very famous stage name.

Takashi Mio.

She is more famous for the role she played, 'Iruma Megumi', or should be correctly translated as 'Iruma Megumi'.

Takagi Mio grew up in Yokohama, so she is actually from the same hometown as Manaka Ryu, but it is obvious that they don't know each other.

1980 years.

At the age of 22, Takashi Mio found her first job as a teller at the Yokohama Kangyo Bank.

Oh! What a coincidence! I share the same background as Nishiwaki Michiko: both are bank tellers.

It seems that being a bank teller is really like being in prison. Being a teller is worse than being an actor.

If Tani Akira had not interfered, Takagi Mio would have performed under her real name in 81, and changed her name to Takagi Mio a few years later, and started her acting career, which also included times when she devoted herself to art.

Takagi Mio's appearance cannot be called stunningly beautiful, but she has a style that is unique to the 1980s.

——Many beauties of this era look similar to Takagi Mio when they grow old.

For example, Vivian Chow.

This kind of appearance is the type that reminds you of the 1980s when you see her face.

"Oh, who would have thought that if nothing unexpected had happened, I would have..."

Gu Ming shook his head and sighed.

Unfortunately, the changes have been made and it is impossible to change them back at this time.

Given Gu Ming's current situation, there was no need to go all the way to Yokohama to find a new actor. His client sent a message and explained the situation, and the other party readily agreed and took the initiative to go to Tokyo.

At this moment, Extreme Action Agency.

"Brother Gugu! People are coming!"

A young man trotted in, making faces and looking nervous.

Gu Ming sighed: "Is it really that serious?"

The boy smiled bitterly.

Too bad!

For a teenager living in the 1980s, she was such a kind and amiable big sister!

Gu Ming could only secretly shake his head. Poor kid, he has no concentration. Can't I learn from him?

"Okay, go make some tea and invite someone in."

Gu Ming sat down, and soon he saw Gao Shumiao.

Judging from her age, the man accompanying her should be her father.

Looking closely at the woman in front of him, Gu Ming was truly amazed.

OK OK.

No wonder Takashi Mio is known as the Japanese Vivian Chow.

They did have some similarities when they were young, but as they got older, their cheek flesh sagged and their cosmetic surgery wasn't done enough, so there were some differences. However, their bone structure is still very similar.

At this moment, Gao Shumiao was sitting there with a nervous look on her face, not even daring to look up at Gu Ming.

She hadn't even thought about it.

As a bank teller, how come I was suddenly invited to be an actor!

But the middleman said it was you, so Takagi Mio had to come to Tokyo.

At first, Takashi Mio thought it was a scam, and so did her parents. But the middleman was high-ranking and reputable. After asking around, her parents were convinced it was real.

Gu Ming himself runs an actor agency and has appeared in many works, even the recently popular "Shadow Warrior".

That's Akira Kurosawa!
Not to mention how it will be evaluated by later generations.

In the 1980s, Kurosawa Akira's reputation was well-known!
With so many identities supporting him, his parents made the decision immediately.

As long as she wants to come, bring her to Tokyo immediately!

There is no need to consider Takashi Mio.

Of course it’s coming!
Although she had only worked in the bank for two months, within two months, Takashi Mio felt that being a bank teller was a boring job.

Every day, sitting behind the counter, I feel like I am in prison, and the people outside withdrawing money are like family members coming to visit. Fortunately, there is no "Tears Behind Bars" in Japan, otherwise Takagi Mio would definitely have learned this song.

Even dogs wouldn't work in a bank!
"You've all been so tired, so let's cut to the chase." Gu Ming said, "I'm currently working on a TV series with Toei. It's a children's special effects drama. Even though it's a children's drama, the character requirements are very important."

"This character is called 'Mayumima'. She has a certain role in the plot and is a relatively important supporting role."

Um...my last name is Mayumi and my first name is Shin.

Gu Ming took out a part of the script and showed it to the two of them directly.

The old father who was not very literate handed the script to Takashi Mio, but Takashi Mio didn't even look at it and closed it immediately.

She raised her head, looked at Gu Ming, and bowed deeply.

"I am truly humbled to be valued by Mr. Furutani. I am deeply honored to have been offered this role."

"Don't you want to read the script?" Gu Ming said with a smile, "Maybe it's a really bad role."

"That's not necessary. I believe that Mr. Furuya's status is not enough to make fun of a beginner like me."

Gu Ming couldn't help but laugh.

I see it clearly.

"Well, if you have no problem with this, let's get ready to sign the contract and secure this role. There are a few things we need to agree on first. First, the actor must be signed to my agency, and the contract must be for at least five years."

Later, Japan's contracts were renewed on a one-year basis, and if there were any problems, they could be abandoned at any time. Only those actors who had proven themselves would sign long-term contracts.

Takashi Mio's father was happy at first, but then he showed some worries.

Oh my, five years have passed in a flash. What if my daughter becomes famous...

Gu Ming was not in a hurry, he just tapped the table with his knuckles.

Gao Shumiao looked at her father deeply, weighed the pros and cons in her mind, and suddenly snatched the contract from her father's hand.

"Oil curry!" The father was slightly surprised, but Takagi Mio had already signed Sadaya Yukari's name neatly.

"Father, if I don't trust someone like Mr. Furuya, who else can I trust? Besides, it's only been five years."

What if your career is going well? Then it would be a good idea to renew your visa.

If her career doesn't go well, Takashi Mio believes that even if she goes somewhere else, things won't go any better.

In contrast, she did not have the concerns that her father had.

She signed this contract willingly.

Gu Ming could only silently give a thumbs up in his heart.

Good, heroine!

I admire you.
