Japanese Entertainment: From special effects actor to action superstar

Chapter 327 I Will Always Love Mayumi
Kosuke Koyama plays the protagonist in the Toei version of Spider-Man.

Of course, it's not Peter Parker, but a race car driver named Takushi.

Overall, Kosuke Koyama's image is still sunny and cheerful, and because Spider-Man itself is not a work for children, Kosuke Koyama also has a heroic spirit in his eyes and eyebrows, rather than the affinity in children's dramas.

Gu Ming crossed his arms and watched several people prepare clothes for him.

Unlike Xinan in the original "Armor Hero", since it is a localized work, the settings are also different.

The character is set as a Tokyo native, continuing the identity of a racing driver. He usually works as a clerk in Salia. On the surface, he is a clerk, but in fact he is the Flame Dragon Armor. With the help of Wind Eagle, he awakened his abilities and is the core of the team.

Since we are going to take makeup photos, of course we need several different sets of clothes.

Casual clothes with an urban fashion sense, and the standard uniform when working as a store clerk.

The uniforms are sponsored by Tokyo Garment, a company that has also sponsored many Toei productions.

Gu Ming is not quite sure what happened to the company later, but at least for now, it is still a hot clothing company in Tokyo.

There was no big problem in photographing the shop assistant uniform. Kosuke Koyama was an actor with performance experience, so he easily managed to portray the desired look.

But when it came to the turn to shoot in casual clothes, Gu Ming suddenly called a halt.

"Stop for a moment, Xiangshan-kun."

"Yes."

Koyama Kosuke turned to Gu Ming and bowed quickly, looking reserved and cautious. Gu Ming felt a little helpless, and had to ask, "Why are you so nervous?"

"Forehead……"

Kosuke Koyama smiled awkwardly.

What else could it be?

Perhaps the person before him couldn't be called a big name in the industry, but for him, his status was already someone he needed to look up to. Whether it was this agency, his collaborations with great directors, his performances in films, or even the boost brought by the hit Shadow Warrior.

All these things made it impossible for Xiangshan Haojie to be careless.

Gu Ming took a step forward and made a direct gesture.

"You're not Spider-Man anymore. You're the Flame Dragon Armor now, so please forget all your moves from the Spider-Man set. You can do this..."

Gu Ming made a Southern Fist short-fighting gesture.

Southern Fist itself is a general term. The so-called Southern Fist and Northern Leg does not mean that there is a certain type of boxing called Southern Fist.

Gu Ming didn't know much about boxing, but he had no problem pretending to do it.

After demonstrating a few moves, he turned to Koyama Kosuke and explained, "If Koyama-kun is interested, you can learn about 'White Crane Fist.' You don't need to actually learn it, just get a basic understanding. The key is the movements and imagery of White Crane Fist."

Kosuke Koyama nodded vigorously.

He remembered the White Crane Fist.

After settling Kosuke Koyama, Gu Ming asked the photographer to take a few makeup photos. Looking carefully, it really felt different from before, and had some of that look.

A major feature of Armor Hero is that different fighting moves are incorporated into several suits of armor.

In the 1980s, neither Gu Minglai's world nor the works here at the same time had incorporated martial arts techniques.

This time, Gu Ming naturally needs to think carefully.

For these roles, Gu Ming will try to use martial arts moves that are more familiar to the Japanese, while Xue Mastiff Armor will use American boxing moves.

As for the Earth Tiger Armor, since Gu Ming added a role to it, the movements are naturally different.

"Tang Shou." Gu Ming said concisely, and reminded Zhen Xialong: "Your ability is Tang Shou."

"I know Karate!" Manazato said, "It's Goju-ryu karate!"

"No, it's Tang Shou."

Gu Ming didn't explain much, but just emphasized this setting: "Because you are from Nara, you practice Tang Te, and your movements must be different."

There is no need for Gu Ming to give special instructions to Zhen Xialong. He has a solid foundation and this kind of thing is very suitable for him.

After a few photos, the image of a young, unyielding and very skilled person clearly appeared in the camera.

After simple production and development, it can be published and used as a final photo.

Then there are several supporting characters that are closely related to the protagonists.

For example, reporter Xiaosong, dumpling restaurant owner Aunt Hui, Aunt Hui's daughter Xiaolan, etc.

The reporter still exists in the story, the dumpling restaurant becomes Saria, and the related characters become the store manager played by Yuan Qiu and the store manager's sister played by Yaowanzi.

These characters are still necessary. As the protagonist, Flame Dragon Armor has a lot of scenes, and Aunt Hui is equivalent to Uncle Ben to Peter Parker, Martha's family to Superman, and Alfred to Batman. She is very important.

So Gu Ming simply changed the original character to the manager of Salia, but this character still needs to exist.

After taking a few photos, the image has been roughly determined.

"Then, next up is Meizhen."

Mima is the captain of the "Armor Hero" series, providing various support tasks. After revisions by Shozo Uehara, her name was changed to Mayumi. This character is played by Mio Takagi.

Seeing Takashi Mio, who had changed into her clothes, standing in front of the green screen to cooperate with the shooting of the final photos, Gu Ming couldn't help but cross his arms and nodded slightly.

Whether it is Toei or Bankai, their aesthetic sense is a bit lax when shooting special effects, and they often ruin the characters, but it depends on how they judge people.

"Please take your makeup seriously! Decades from now, when these kids grow up and look back, wow! They were so busy watching Armor Hero back then, now the older women in those movies are so pretty!"

But heard a click.

The photo freezes, capturing Mayumi's final makeup photo.

……

……

Xiaoji has grown up.

Who would have thought that ten-year-old Xiaoji was only a six-year-old child four years ago!

Xiaoji, who is already ten years old, has become mature.

He no longer stares at the TV every day.

He now records the video regularly and watches it on the weekend!
On Saturday, after finishing his homework, Xiaoji ran to call his father.

"Dad! I want to watch TV!"

There was no reply for a long time. I pushed the door open and saw that my father was sleeping.

Xiaoji was relieved now.

If he doesn't say anything, that's his consent!

He turned on the TV, skillfully opened the VCR, and found the channel he had pre-recorded.

Last week, TV Asahi mentioned the news of the new work, and Xiaoji naturally paid extra attention to it.

He is very busy every day now. He visits Guiman on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, and V3 on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays, taking turns to favor them.

Having two major companies serving him alone is a blessing greater than that of the emperor!

"Armor Sentai...hmm, it looks like this is the work of many people!"

Ten-year-old Xiaoji was lying steadily on the sofa watching TV.

In the recorded program, the makeup photos of the corresponding characters were broadcast one after another.

Every time a character appeared, and the vague silhouettes behind them, Xiaoji cheered.

Flame Dragon Armor! White Crane Fist! This looks so powerful!

Wind Eagle Armor! Hard and Soft Fist! This is also very powerful!
And there's Earth Tiger Man! He's going to summon Earth Tiger Armor!

They all know martial arts and look so fierce!
and also……

Mayumi.

What the hell is this?

Xiaoji looked on with disdain.

Even after four years, he has not changed his original intention. Even if a pair of huge waves are placed in front of him, he just smiles slightly and is not moved at all!

Kinoshita Danjiro's voice suddenly came from behind.

"Turn the progress back."

"I do not want!"

'Turn it back, or you won't be allowed to watch TV.'

Xiaoji could only be transferred back in frustration.

Kinoshita Danjiro pressed the pause button and watched it again and again.

hiss……

what!
Kinoshita Danjiro wiped his nose and blushed for some unknown reason.

"So this is also a work produced by that Extreme Action Agency? Oh my, that Mr. Furuya Akira, he really has great vision!"

Kinoshita Danjiro recalled carefully that so far, in the works that Gu Ming participated in, or in the works in which he had the final say, the female characters were all good-looking!
In comparison, other people's aesthetics are like they have been strengthened by British and American monsters.

Kinoshita Danjiro believes that it is necessary to put Akira Furuya on a whitelist. As long as the work he participates in, it is 100% allowed to be watched!

"Mayumi, what's this actress' name? Takagi Mio?"

Kinoshita Danjiro pressed his chest.

He is a loyal person and always likes Ningning, Chacha, Raito Tsubomi, Raito Hitomi, Raito Ai, Chun-Li, Scarlett, Juliano, Midorikawa Ruriko, and Mayumi!
