Japanese Entertainment: From special effects actor to action superstar

Chapter 337: Japanese French Fanaticism
In fact, there is a long history of friendship between the Japanese and the French.

For example, the word "Okawa" in the Taiga drama was translated from French.

The Japanese have an inexplicable yearning for France, and even for Paris, which later led to a new statement.

'Paris syndrome'.

That is to say, when the Japanese actually go to Paris, they find that it is on the same level as Tokyo, and their impression of France becomes disenchanted and cooled in an instant.

But whatever.

In the 1980s, Japan and France maintained good relations, which is probably why France attaches great importance to Japanese films.

Japan even has an incredible work that tells the story of the French Revolution.

Right now.

The Rose of Versailles.

It can be said like this.

Even the Venice Film Festival or the Berlin Film Festival would not excite the Japanese more than Cannes.

Oh.

Please!

That’s Cannes, France!

French people!

Now that he has won an award and gained recognition from the French, he can be considered top-notch even in Japan!
Since Kurosawa and his team were still in France, the most suitable heavyweight person to interview was of course Tani Akira.

Faced with endless interview requests, Gu Ming truly realized one thing.

He really needs to find an assistant!

After relying on Kobayashi for a while, the first interview that Gu Ming agreed to was the one from TBS.

As the earliest TV station to establish ties, Gu Ming has some relationship with TBS.

Therefore, Gu Ming chose to be the first to be interviewed by TBS.

In the office, with everyone training as the background, Gu Ming and the reporter each sat on a chair and talked face to face.

Through the blurred background, one can only vaguely see that this should be a training ground.

"Yes, I am very grateful to Mr. Kurosawa for giving me the opportunity to play this role."

"Mr. Nakadai Tatsuya helped me a lot. He's a great actor."

"Yes, Mr. Katsu Shintaro is an outstanding actor. I personally respect Mr. Katsu Shintaro very much and I deeply regret that he was unable to appear in "Shadow Samurai" due to personal reasons."

Gu Ming wouldn't be stupid enough to say bad things about Katsu Shintaro in an interview.

Besides, there is really no enmity between Gu Ming and Katsu Shintaro.

After a while of interviewing, the reporter finally spoke without a script, saying, "Speaking of what everyone is most concerned about, it's of course your next work. Does Furuya-kun plan to continue working with Director Akira Kurosawa, formally enter the film industry, or have other projects in mind?"

Gu Ming raised his eyelids.

Damn!

Why does everyone think Shadow Warrior is his first movie!
Obviously, The Grudge is doing very well at the box office!

Ok.

Gu Ming could actually understand it.

Commercial films are not considered films and have no human rights.

He responded smoothly, saying, "Actually, I don't have any plans to film any films in the near future. After filming Shadow Warrior, I received an invitation from its investor, Mr. George Lucas, to go to the United States to assist with the filming. Besides being an actor, my main job is actually a formation master."

"Whoa whoa!!"

The reporter was excited.

Even the photographer poked his head out from behind the camera.

Look! The Americans aren't blind. Even when they're making movies, they're looking for our people to be the assassins! The reporter steered the conversation, saying, "Then I wonder what kind of work Furuya-kun is working on?"

"It is a special effects work that contains a lot of action elements. It has been confirmed that it will be co-produced with Tokyo Channel 12 and will be first broadcast on May 5st."

The reporter was amazed: "It's incredible that Tokyo Channel 12 can have such an honor."

"I personally really like Tokyo Channel 12," Gu Ming lied with his eyes open. "Tokyo Channel 12 is very powerful and good at investing in a variety of works. For example, the previous one, 'Dinosaur Super Ksai', had magnificent imagination and excellent action. I also had a not-so-small investment in it."

Gu Ming paused for a moment, then suddenly changed the subject and mentioned something intentionally or unintentionally.

"Actually, originally, we were planning to air 'Armor Sentai: Legend of Light and Shadow' on TV Asahi. However, the conditions on TV Asahi were too harsh, so we just ended our cooperation with TV Asahi."

Gu Ming mentioned it a few times and then stopped talking about it.

The reporter's eyes brightened slightly.

As a reporter for TBS, he immediately realized that this was a great opportunity.

Please!

Asahi TV is our rival!
The work of the new film emperor was not broadcast by Asahi TV and was moved to Tokyo Channel 12 for screening.

It’s not that he looks down on TV Tokyo, but TV Tokyo is really bad!

Gu Ming is still outputting.

"After my collaboration with TV Asahi ended, your station was my first choice. Unfortunately, your broadcast schedule was already booked, leaving no other suitable time slot. I also didn't want to air my work in a less popular time slot. At that time, the April 12st section manager of Tokyo Channel approached me, and we had a long conversation, which led to this collaboration."

In fact, there is no such thing. He can't find it on earth.

But it does not prevent Gu Ming from saying this, nor does it prevent TBS from reporting it this way.

At the end of the interview, Gu Ming gave him a questioning look.

“Can I advertise?”

"of course can!"

Gu Ming faced the camera and pointed behind him.

"Although I won't be starring in this film myself, I've poured my heart and soul into it. I came up with the idea four years ago, and screenwriter Shozo Uehara conducted a four-year research trip to Nara to understand Buddhist culture, read various texts, and even converted to Buddhism before finally creating this work. My heartfelt work, Armor Sentai: Legend of Light and Shadow, is waiting for everyone to watch!"

The TBS reporter silently gave a thumbs up.

The advertisement can be broadcast, of course, the part that offends TV Asahi will also be broadcast.

By then, TBS viewers will all know that TV Asahi was blind to reject the work of the best actor!

……

……

Fuji TV.

TBS.

Japanese TV.

The three broadcast interviews with the best actor one after another, and they all mentioned the same thing.

Gu Ming has a new work. Although he did not perform it himself, he produced it.

But unfortunately, such a good work was rejected by TV Asahi!
If TBS/Fuji TV/Nippon TV hadn't had a good time slot due to schedule reasons, we would have taken it over no matter what!

TV Asahi doesn't care about people!
Welcome everyone to follow TV TOKYO!
Follow TV Tokyo meow, follow TV Tokyo, thank you meow!
Divert traffic to the worst Tokyo TV and undermine the credibility of Asahi TV.

The three companies made the same choice without any prior agreement.

Tokyo TV is just like that. It covers the entire Tokyo area and it can't be raised any higher.

But Asahi TV is so big, of course we will spare no effort and find any opportunity to strike Asahi TV hard!

Although Tokyo TV did not have the right to interview, it still made an exception and produced a program.

It wasn't an interview, it was a talk show. In the talk show, Gu Ming talked about the making of his work, and even mentioned that he went to the United States to purchase the latest materials in order to create a good leather case effect.

So where can we see such great works?
Of course, it’s TV Tokyo on Saturday at 7pm! Children are welcome to watch it on time!
