Japanese Entertainment: From special effects actor to action superstar

Chapter 349 Gu Guming unexpectedly invited so many people to help
Of course, there is nothing special to eat in the United States.

When I said that delicious food was brought to America, the whole world laughed.

——The whole of Britain laughed.

There was really nothing good to eat, so that night, Tatsumi Niikemoto had no choice but to take Masahiko Kimura and others to eat at Hanbaka.

At least the taste of this thing is uniform, so it doesn’t necessarily taste bad, but it doesn’t taste bad either.

"Fast food? Is this the only thing available in this area?"

"Well, there are actually some good ones, but they're all quite far from here. America is so big, and you have to use a car to get there and back."

Masahiko Kimura didn't ask any more questions, holding the cheeseburger in his hands with an embarrassed look on his face.

Not what he said.

But this thing doesn’t look delicious!
Seeing his two disciples sitting down one after another, Masahiko Kimura nodded casually.

"Fuji, you've been training so hard lately, come and try this."

"Yes, master..."

Fuji Shusuke took a bite and ascended to heaven instantly.

Masahiko Kimura nodded secretly.

It seems that this thing should not be eaten.

"Since you like it so much, you can eat all of it."

Masahiko Kimura said this while grabbing another burger.

Fuji Shusuke seemed to want to say something but stopped himself.

master.

You are really my dear master!
In the distance, Dennis Mullen had a panoramic view of everything, but now he showed an expression of undisguised dissatisfaction.

"I found a few more freeloaders. I knew these Japanese couldn't be trusted!"

The person sitting opposite Dennis Muren is John Destra, the current special effects director of Industrial Light & Magic. Before joining Industrial Light & Magic, he was an unemployed vagrant who liked to tinker with the camera to shoot some messy things. At the age of nine, John Destra was influenced by Godzilla and Atomic Monsters, and asked his family to buy a Kodak camera, and shot a series of exquisite works.

——Yes, he was an elementary school student that year, but he had already shot many exquisite stop-motion animations. Although his techniques were outdated, his shooting ideas are not outdated even in modern times.

However, this talent was not discovered, and in the end John Destra didn't even have a job.

Until one day he was selling the works he shot as a child in his garage. His works were seen by George Lucas, who then invited him to join Industrial Light & Magic.

Like Dennis Muren, he is currently an important figure in Industrial Light & Magic.

However, these two big men were dressed rather sloppily and casually, one in a plaid shirt and the other in a short-sleeved leather jacket. Even though the temperature dropped sharply at night in California, it did not affect him from dressing himself like a speed racer.

Unlike Dennis Muren, John Destra has a wide range of interests.

Skydiving, flying a plane, watching a fighting competition, and surfing on the sea.

As long as it's fun, he likes it.

He even taught himself American karate, the same style Cynthia Rothrock practiced, for several months.

"Muren, you seem a little too malicious towards them."

"I don't have any ill will towards them, I just can't stand these things, these..."

Dennis Mullen waved his hand and didn't finish the second half of the sentence.

I just can't stand these small-eyed Asian guys.

"Why do you have to be so sneaky? If you don't like them, just say it, like me."

John Destra stood up and walked towards Kimura Masahiko and others with a drunken smell.

"Hey, look up at me! This is our territory. If you don't like it, get out... Okay?"

John Destra stared at Masahiko Kimura for a moment, and suddenly felt that he looked familiar, as if he had seen him before.

When he shifted his gaze again, he saw the disciple on the other side, Hongye.

Oh yeah!
John Destra's eyes lit up.

This one looks good, this one is good!
"I seem to have seen this sister somewhere..."

Hongye suddenly rushed forward, using his weight to do a giant python flip, knocking John Destra to the ground on the spot, grabbing his wrist and bending it over.

Kimura lock!
"Oh, I'm dying, I'm dying, I'm dying... Wait, I remember! Kimura Lock! Kimura Masahiko! You are Mr. Kimura Masahiko!" After being beaten by Kimura Lock, John Destra woke up instantly.

Kimura Lock, then of course it is Kimura Masahiko!

This was a well-known judo master who defeated a Brazilian jiu-jitsu master with a Kimura lock in public, leaving a name for himself among fighting enthusiasts around the world.

John Destra sat up again and looked at Kimura Masahiko with a more intimate look.

Akira Furutani actually invited Master Kimura to be a guest performer!

It’s not necessarily just Master Kimura.

He took the initiative to step forward and introduced Dennis Mullen with a friendly look on his face.

"Mullen, you must not know this, but this is a world-renowned fighting master, even more powerful than the champion of the US Karate Championship!"

Dennis Mullen hesitated to speak.

Better than the champion of the U.S. Karate Championship?

Well, okay then, at least it doesn’t count as free rice.

But he couldn't help but mutter under his breath.

"So what? We still need a lot more designs! Can a karate master solve all of them?"

……

……

Of course a karate master can't solve it.

At this moment, Yagyu Sosimi was on his way by plane.

And Gu Ming is of course in Los Angeles at this moment.

He didn't know the situation at Industrial Light & Magic, but it didn't matter. Gu Ming had confidence in everyone and believed that Masahiko Kimura could at least design a lightsaber.

That's what collective wisdom is all about.

Gu Ming rested for a while and asked a few times before he found out the filming location of Killer Trench.

In 1979, Zhou Wenhuai took out six million US dollars and claimed that he would shoot six Hollywood blockbusters.

Of course, in reality, $6 million can only produce six moderately budgeted films.

What is a blockbuster?
Shadow Warrior received an investment of $8 million from 20th Century Fox.

This is what has reached the level of a blockbuster.

In the era when the US dollar was still the American dollar, eight million US dollars would be calculated in billions in later generations.

But it is undeniable that Zhou Wenhuai is indeed one of the few people in Hong Kong films who has a broad vision and is eager to go out.

It was under such circumstances that Cheng Long was brought to the United States to film "Killer Trench".

"But I think Zhou Wenhuai is not in his right mind. Golden Harvest is clearly the largest investor, but it turns out that it has no control at all and is completely under the control of the American branch. What? The American branch is your father? Just because you take the money, you should be obedient. The head office is the father!"

Gu Ming shook his head secretly, knowing that this matter would have the greatest impact.

Although the American branch is wholly owned by Golden Harvest, this branch does not listen to Golden Harvest at all and handles all operations on its own!
In this situation, hiring someone to make a movie is just asking for trouble.

Standing outside the Killer Trench studio, Gu Ming casually wrapped the Industrial Light & Magic sign around his fingertips and walked over quickly.

When a staff member stepped forward to stop him, Gu Ming casually showed him the sign.

"My name is Marcus, from Industrial Light & Magic, and I'm here to discuss special effects collaboration with you."

The staff on the scene were stunned by these few words.

Industrial Light & Magic? Did they collaborate with ILM on their film?
But Industrial Light & Magic has become really famous recently.

As for the fact that Gu Mingna's listing actually belonged to Marcus, they really couldn't tell.

Don’t all Japanese people look the same anyway?
"So this is a work collaboration? Please come in."

Gu Ming just walked around the sign and swaggered into the filming location of Killer Trench.

Cooperation is impossible, but that doesn't stop Gu Ming from visiting.

It’s okay to go help Industrial Light & Magic and say that you are an Industrial Light & Magic employee!
