Japanese Entertainment: From special effects actor to action superstar

Chapter 370 The script writing is left to you

Recently, Wangu has not started work.

The reason is simple... because there are no jobs to open.

There must be an opportunity to shoot a work. Without suitable works, it cannot be shot. Therefore, recently Wan Gu has only been invited to shoot some very simple works, and basically no screenwriter is needed.

Tetsuo Kaneshiro really had some free time for a while.

According to the course of history, he should have died ten years ago. Because of some conflicts with Wan Gu, he finally left Wan Gu and returned to his hometown. After getting drunk, he climbed out the window to go home and ended up falling to his death.

Well, for an intellectual, this was not a romantic way to die. When Tetsuo Kaneshiro was found dead, he lay on the ground like a dead fish with its skull opened.

But now, Tetsuo Kaneshiro is still alive and has not thought about returning to his hometown. Although he cannot be considered top-notch in the industry, at least in the field of Wan Gu, he is still a top screenwriter.

Tetsuo Kaneshiro was quite surprised when he received the call this time, but he immediately agreed.

In the afternoon, Tetsuo Kaneshiro came to Gu Ming's house in a suit and tie, carrying a bag.

"Oh, look, you came here, but what else do you bring?"

Gu Ming took the bag casually. It felt light, but also a little heavy.

Kaneshiro Tetsuo explained, "I don't have anything good to give you. I heard you won a big prize not long ago, but I didn't have a chance to congratulate you. This time, I have a chance, so I'll give you a pen."

Gu Ming responded.

A fountain pen, that's good.

In fact, Gu Ming is not used to writing with a fountain pen, but he still has to accept this gift.

The two sat down, exchanged some pleasantries, and then slowly drank beer while talking about the commission.

"Hmm... about the script. Actually, I haven't seen that movie." Kaneshiro Tetsuo was very straightforward: "It's not the type of movie I like. On the contrary, Shadow Warrior is very good. I've seen it several times."

Gu Ming was not surprised.

The Grudge is a traditional commercial film, full of laughter, anger and insults, without much substance.

Shadow Samurai is a standard Japanese commercial blockbuster, with a Japanese story background, stunning swordplay, cultural connotations that can be understood by the Japanese, and of course, the director Akira Kurosawa.

Kurosawa Akira's fame was in the 1940s and 1950s. Perhaps 80 years from now, people in the 21st century won't care about Kurosawa Akira anymore, but now it's the 1980s. Kurosawa's every move is still a matter of great concern to people.

Tetsuo Kaneshiro had said this before, but at this moment, he felt inexplicably restrained.

He looked at Gu Gu Ming in front of him and knew that Gu Gu Ming was no longer the same as he was a few years ago.

Perhaps, it has become difficult for the two of them to communicate with each other as equals.

So, Jincheng Tetsuo quickly lowered his eyes and explained, "If I want to create something, I may need to go back and look at the scroll of the vengeful spirit first."

"That's fine, there's no rush. We can design the stories for both first. I plan to commission Mr. Jincheng to write two scripts at once. The stories need to be somewhat related. The fee will be one million yen."

It's roughly three or four months' salary for a middle-level manager at the level of Kinoshita Danjiro. It's not a lot, but it's not a small amount either.

Tetsuo Kaneshiro nodded slightly, quite satisfied with the price.

Gu Ming suddenly slapped his forehead and said, "Oh, I forgot one thing. Take a look at this."

He pushed a document bag forward.

These are the materials that Masazo Uehara brought back when he was collecting materials, and they are all the folk customs and traditions he brought back.

Only a part of it was used when filming the first part, but now it has found just the right use.

Jincheng Tetsuo flipped through the book briefly and was gradually surprised. "Very complete information. There's no need for a field investigation. This must be the information left by Uehara-kun."

Gu Ming was surprised: "How did you tell? Was it the writing style or the handwriting?"

Jincheng Tetsuo turned the file bag over and said, "Because Uehara Shozo's name is written on it."

Gu Ming: ...Okay then!
Tetsuo Kaneshiro flipped through a few more pages before putting the file back into the bag.

"Give me some time. I'll discuss this with a few other friends and come up with a suitable script as soon as possible. Also..."

Seeing Jincheng Tetsuo's hesitation, Gu Ming asked with a smile: "Is there anything that can't be said directly?"

"Not really. I just want to know if Furuya-kun has any plans to help Endai connect again."

Gu Ming suddenly realized.

It seems that Wangu really can't find a good project to shoot.

"Endai's big hands!" Gu Ming muttered a pun to himself, then smiled. "Alright, then I'll trouble Mr. Jincheng to write the script during this time. I'll ask Endai if he has any investment plans."

Tetsuo Kaneshiro finally breathed a sigh of relief, looking somewhat relieved. He stood up, bowed, took the file bag and prepared to leave.

Gu Ming called him casually.

"Why are you in such a hurry to leave, Mr. Jincheng? Why don't you go have a drink and something to eat together?"

"Now? With Furuya-kun?"

"Why, Mr. Jincheng has something else to do?"

"No, I'd love to."

The two smiled at each other, and Gu Ming picked up the phone to draw numbers.

"Hello... Extreme Action Agency, please answer the phone, Koizumi-kun."

……

……

The car was driving smoothly. Koizumi looked at the two people reflected in the rearview mirror and said excitedly: "When it comes to food, no one knows more than me. How about going for ramen?"

Tetsuo Kaneshiro's expression remained unchanged, but he felt a little troubled.

Ramen, that’s still quite inconvenient.

He is a very clean person, so he finds it hard to eat ramen.

Gu Ming smiled and said, "What kind of ramen? Tell me about it."

"This is incredible! Most people can't even eat it. This shop is located in Chiyoda Ward, and their signature noodles are called 'Golden Stick'!"

Gu Ming was shocked.

what!
Ghost gold and jade!
How big is that!
He looked down at his.

Koizumi was embarrassed: "It's not gold or jade, it's a golden stick..."

Jincheng Tetsuo looked at Gu Ming and saw that he didn't seem unhappy, so he explained: "The ghost gold stick is actually a mace in modern terms. In the past, it was a stick in the hands of a mountain ghost that could easily smash people to pieces. It was called the 'ghost gold stick', but I'm not sure what it means when used in ramen."

Koizumi responded, "The so-called Onijinbang means that the noodles are extremely spicy and fragrant. Most people can't eat them at all. Although they haven't been in business for too long, they are already very popular. They are an excellent ramen restaurant."

Gu Ming understood clearly.

However, when it comes to spicy food, he really has no hope for the Japanese spicy food.

"Okay, then let's go check out that weird golden stick."

Koizumi just said "OK" and stepped on the accelerator to drive towards Chiyoda.

Tetsuo Kaneshiro's expression remained unchanged, but he felt a little troubled.

So, he really didn't want to eat ramen! He would get his clothes dirty.
