Japanese Entertainment: From special effects actor to action superstar

Chapter 147 Pirated Magazines and Bigger Trouble

Wangu Japanese Room, Gu Ming and others looked at the magazine in front of them.

When Narita Toru saw this, he couldn't help but slap his thigh.

"Otomo Masaji, it's really him!"

Gu Ming also picked up a magazine and started flipping through it.

The magazine was produced by Masaji Otomo. The artwork was quite good, but the content was somewhat surprising.

This is a monster decryption magazine. Masaji Otomo uses drawings to reveal the internal structure of the monster and publishes it in the magazine, labeled Monster Decryption.

Regardless of the effect, there is a huge problem here.

Wangu never authorized him to make the relevant magazine!
Currently, Bandai only licenses toys, including various toys such as transformation devices, fighter planes and tanks. The toy manufacturer is not Bandai, but another company.

The magazine about monster decryption was not authorized from the beginning.

Narita Toru muttered, becoming more and more annoyed.

"I was really annoyed with this guy the other day. He even asked me to guess what the monster looked like inside. Since I designed the suit, of course it should look like a monster! I can't even draw it!"

Gu Ming looked at him and asked, "Why can't you draw the inside of the monster?"

"A sense of mystery." Wang Ya Yingji coughed a few times and wanted to speak, but his coughing became more intense and his face began to flush.

Wan Gujie hurriedly patted his back, while Jincheng Zhefu whispered a few explanations.

"We need to create a sense of mystery around the monsters. Therefore, the monsters can't appear with the structure of any familiar creature, and their internal structure can't be revealed. Whether it was Godzilla or any other monster, none of them have such secrets. This is because revealing the monster's internal structure would destroy the mystery."

After a few more words, Wang Gu Yingji calmed down and his attitude became very firm.

We must get to the bottom of this.

Regardless of whether the decryption is correct or not, the key point is that Wangu did not authorize Masaji Otomo to produce this magazine, and of course he would not allow Masaji Otomo to do it.

Before leaving, Wan Guyi had just returned from TBS and was also a little annoyed when he heard about this.

"This bastard...I want to break up with him!"

"Brother, let's not talk about breaking up for now. Let's deal with the magazine first."

Gu Ming thought for a moment and picked up a magazine: "Can I take this back and study it?"

Mantani Eiji waved his hand.

It doesn't matter, just take it if you want.

After a few people left, Narita Toru was still very angry.

It was because of this incident that he quarreled with Masaji Otomo that day.

"I didn't expect TBS to actually support his idea. What's that guy's name..."

Gu Ming said, "Hashimoto Yoji? Or Miwa Shunmichi?"

Narita Toru shook his head: "Neither of them, it seems to be a guy named 'Mizuno Minoru'."

Gu Ming scratched his head: "Which water is which one?"

It is common that Japanese pronunciation and Japanese kanji do not match, so Narita Heng wrote it down in detail again. Gu Ming wrote down the name and then said goodbye to Narita Heng.

On the way home, Gu Ming was still thinking about this matter.

Throwing the magazine on the table, Gu Ming dialed the number of TBS.

"Hello, my name is Akira Furuya. Could you please connect me to Mr. Yoji Hashimoto..."

"Hello, is this Hashimoto-kun? I'm Akira Furuya. Do you know Minoru Mizuno?"

"Oh? Are you from TBS too? But I don't think we've met before?"

“…Is that so? I understand.”

After hanging up the phone, Gu Ming narrowed his eyes slightly.

According to Yoji Hashimoto, Minoru Mizuno is also one of the producers of TBS, but at the same time, he has another identity and is affiliated with the TBS organizational department.

"Organization Department, the Organization Department seems to be someone's territory!"

Gu Ming couldn't help but clapped his hands.

Director of the Organization Department, Oto Isamu.

This person is a competitor of Kagi Isamu from the projection department. Both of them seem to be planning to go further within TBS. When filming the Yakuza TV series, Oto Isamu came out to express his ideas, but was ultimately defeated.

It's hard to say whether Dahu Yong was behind this. Gu Ming will just make a note of this.

Turning around by chance, Gu Ming saw Shaqin flipping through the magazine he brought back.

"Well, don't read it for now. This magazine is a pirated one, it's not authorized. It seems Wangu is planning to have someone deal with it."

"Oh, that's it." Shaqin nodded slightly, closed the magazine and stopped reading.

"I was thinking this magazine was pretty interesting."

"It's because it's so interesting that we have to sue him. After all, it's so attractive, but it's unauthorized, so of course it's not okay."

Rampant piracy is a big problem, but fortunately this magazine is currently only circulated in Tokyo.

Gu Ming glanced through a few pages, but his eyes suddenly stopped on one of them.

This page provides an anatomical design of the aliens that appear in Seven.

"After the Suberu's experiment with their new weapon, the Suberium bomb, failed, radioactivity blanketed the planet, and contaminants seeped into the Suberu's blood. The Suberu came to Earth to replace their own blood contaminated by radiation with Earthling blood."

"This is written in kana, the kanji version is... A-X-Star?!!"

Gu Ming sat up instantly.

This time we are in real trouble.

Compared to this unauthorized crappy magazine.

This is the most serious thing!

……

……

In the Ultraman series, there is an episode that was banned in Japan.

That is, the twelfth episode of Seven, "Love for the Planet." There was actually no problem when it was first broadcast, until Wangu later broadcast the setting volume, and due to an editing and printing error, the Suberu people were printed as "Nuclear Explosion People."

And now, the Nuclear Explosion Alien appeared in front of people in another form.

Tokyo, Atomic Bomb Victims Association.

Association member Nakatani Ryuxing pressed down with both palms and slammed them hard on the table, full of murderous intent.

"Wangu actually filmed something like this. What on earth do they think of us? That year, my family was murdered there by the evil Americans!"

"Wangu must give us an explanation!"

"Give an explanation for the hundreds of thousands of people who died in the nuclear explosion!"

"Pay compensation! Apologize! Kneel down for the victims on TV in front of all Japanese people!"

"The key is to lose money!"

In a flash, everyone in the association set a goal.

"I'm going to Hiroshima to start a protest!"

"I'm going to Nagasaki."

"I'm in Tokyo!"

"My brother Minoru Mizuno is a producer at TBS. I went to talk to him and told him we'd accept an interview from the TV station!"

"Damn it, what do you think of us..."

Nakatani Ryuxing emphasized.

"Protest, we must protest. The key is to demand compensation from Wangu!"

Times have changed. The nuclear explosion happened more than 30 years ago. The real victims are powerless, and they are just a civil organization using this as an excuse to ask for money.

The reason why the association can continue its activities is simple.

Every country has its own political correctness, just like some topics that cannot be mentioned in Zhou country, the Japanese are particularly sensitive to the topic of nuclear explosions.

Topics that are originally unrelated may be found to be related and used to extort money.

The background setting of the Suberu people is related to radioactive experiments, which is exactly what they want!

Zhonggu Longxing crossed his arms, and his eyes seemed to have seen the foreseeable future.

Come to think of it, Wangu’s works have such high ratings, he must be very rich!
　Well, the content of this chapter is true and really happened.
