Japanese Entertainment: From special effects actor to action superstar

Chapter 347 Six Light Sword Styles, but Seven Styles

By the way, as we have said long ago, the core of the Star Wars series is derived from Kurosawa Akira's "Sengoku no Hiroyuki".

Therefore, several lightsaber sword techniques have many similarities with kendo.

Later, as time went by, some techniques were added, such as the German two-handed sword.

There are several lightsaber moves, and different characters have their own customized moves. There are also different moves depending on which side of the Force the person is on and what their fighting style is.

But no matter what, they are all derived from the most basic six lightsaber styles.

Right now.

The first style, Xi Qiao
Second Style: Makashi

The third form, Soresu

The fourth style, Ataru

Fifth Style, Sheen & Dejemso
Sixth form, Niemann
There is also a special seventh style, Zhuyu & Wapad

Among them, the two types such as Djemso and Wapad are different characters who developed their own skills based on the same skills. They can be called a skill on their own, so strictly speaking, there should be nine common lightsaber skills.

Generally speaking, it covers different skills such as basic attack, backhand, defensive counterattack, parry, fierce attack, protagonist-only, and villain-only.

In addition, there are several different lightsabers that incorporate different move types such as double-edged swords and spears.

The second part of Star Wars has just been filmed, and of course such a complex setting has not yet been perfected, but Gu Ming knows it very well.

George Lucas is a settings party. Maybe he has already set the techniques for the six lightsaber styles, but he just hasn't named them or made detailed arrangements yet.

Gu Ming weighed the fluorescent tube in his hand twice. It was a bit light. After all, it was not a real weapon, and it could not have the invisible and intangible feeling of a lightsaber. It was more like a wooden stick.

Sometimes Gu Ming thinks that maybe the Americans have never seen any good moves.

A lightsaber, a sword so thick on both sides without even a guard, can actually be used in combat...

"Then let's start with Xi Qiao!"

Gu Ming took a deep breath, but took a step forward, holding the hilt of the sword with both hands, and the fluorescent tube left a trail like an infinity symbol in the air.

He takes the first step to the center, turning left and right like a reeling machine.

This is certainly not Japanese Kendo, but the two-handed sword technique 'Mantis Flying Through the Trees' that the Sword Saint has publicly revealed.

Originally, there should have been another sword move to turn around, but Gu Ming stopped and did not do it.

Slashing horizontally and vertically, he turned the fluorescent tube in his hand and used the power of his shoulders to turn and slash.

"It's okay, but not quite."

Gu Ming picked up another fluorescent tube with his toes, casually took it and threw it to Nijiamoto Tatsumi.

"Try it here."

"it is good!"

Niiemoto Tatsumi took hold of the lightsaber with both hands, holding it just right.

Marcus just watched and sweated profusely.

Brothers.

This is a light bulb! This is not a real sword! Be gentle!

BRO thought he was really a master of the Force!
"Cut me."

"it is good!"

Nijiaben Tatsumi held the fluorescent tube in both hands and slashed towards Gu Ming, but all his blows were vertical slashes up and down. Gu Ming dodged easily by swaying left and right, and the fluorescent tube took advantage of the momentum and landed on his shoulder.

This isn't a sparring match, nor is it a real fight; it's just a demonstration of moves.

Nijiamoto Tatsumi quickly changed his moves, mixing vertical slashes with horizontal slashes, leaving a cross-shaped mark on the fluorescent tube.

Gu Ming still dodged, and when it was his turn to slash horizontally, he bent down to avoid it, and the fluorescent tube in his hand fell on Tatsumi Nijiamoto's leg.

"Are these considered the first form?"

"Yes, they all count as the first form."

Seeing the relaxed and casual conversation between the two, Marcus sweatdropped: "Wait a minute, this might not work."

Our actors can’t do that unassisted lower back bend!

Gu Ming put away the fluorescent tube and spread his hands. "Then I have no choice. I can't force your people to learn these things. After people reach adulthood, their bodies will be determined. Hmm...how about this."

Gu Ming raised a finger and said, "Can I meet the actors in your storyline? At least I can know what they are capable of."

"That's not a problem." The main cast of Star Wars was deliberately chosen from relatively unknown actors, who rose to fame after participating in Star Wars: Episode I. Luke Skywalker wouldn't be seen, but other actors of the next level should be seen without issue.

……

……

For several days, Gu Ming has been studying sword moves that would appear in Star Wars.

Especially after he met the actors, Gu Ming knew that anything too complicated would never work. No matter how well he and Nikamoto Tatsumi fought, the local actors could not do it.

"These damn Americans are so stiff and inflexible, they have no flexibility at all!"

Gu Ming was a little crazy.

The first move, Xi Qiao, had already been finalized. Gu Ming had designed it based on the sword technique of Mantis Flying Through the Forest, so it was a straightforward start. But then things started to get complicated.

No matter how good the design is, Americans can’t do it!

At this moment, Gu Ming was holding a double-ended lightsaber, essentially a double-edged sword. He casually twirled the sword and discussed it with Niemoto Tatsumi for a moment before finally reaching a conclusion.

"Americans are clumsy and you can't give them overly complicated moves."

"Brother Gugu, what should we do?"

Gu Ming stared at Niemoto Tatsumi.

I always ask what to do when I have to play! What do you do?

"Use your imagination!" Gu Ming encouraged Niemoto Tatsumi: "You are the future Japan's top killing array master!"

Nijiamoto Tatsumi cried out in injustice: "Another twenty years? Another forty years!"

"Forty years doesn't matter! Just trust yourself. I'll leave the second move to you!"

Gu Ming patted his butt and prepared to leave.

This may not be possible for one person to do it. Gu Ming now thinks that he must find external help.

Transoceanic calls are expensive, but fortunately Americans are not short of money, and Lucas even reimbursed the phone bills.

Gu Ming borrowed a phone and called someone he hadn't contacted for a long time.

As expected, the call didn't go through, so Gu Ming just left a message.

"Yagyu-kun, long time no see. I'm Furuya Akira. Are you interested in coming to America to help me out? If you can, call me back!"

Yagyu Somi, a native of Nara, is a swordsman from the Yagyu family and has frequent contacts in the film and television industry.

Before, when Chiba Shinji participated in "The Conspiracy of the Yagyu Family", Gu Ming had some interactions with him, and now he had the opportunity to communicate with him.

Then Gu Ming called the second person, but the call still didn't go through, so he could only leave a message.

"...Mr. Kimura, how are you doing lately? Are you interested in coming to America to promote your judo techniques? If so, please call me back!"

Can people who practice judo also use swordsmanship?

The answer is certainly yes.

Wooden swords and wooden knives are almost becoming the foundation of Japanese martial arts. Anyone who knows a move can use them.

Gu Ming made a phone call, thought for a long time, and finally called Xiangjiang.

But this time, Gu Ming received unexpected news.

"Aaron? He's in America!"

Gu Ming was stunned: "Why did he come to the United States?"

"Let's make a movie! 'Killer'! Golden Harvest specially opened a branch in the United States to invest in this movie!"

Gu Ming couldn't help but slap his thigh.

What's so good about these crappy movies about Killer Trench!

Apart from Jackie Chan's early films with unstable styles, "Killer Trench" is definitely the worst movie shot by Jackie Chan during his rising period.

As for the later detective Pu Songling and others...

It's not easy for Jackie Chan to be able to jump around in movies at his age. Please understand.

Gu Ming thought for a moment and slapped his thigh.

What's the difference between a killer who kills rich people and a killer who doesn't kill rich people?

He went to find Cheng Long!
