Japanese Entertainment: From special effects actor to action superstar

Chapter 153 Celebration, but also separation
Jack, the representative from Takeda Pharmaceutical, had already left. After Kagi Wei gave him a few more words of encouragement, Gu Ming left.

As he boarded the TBS elevator, Gu Ming felt somewhat pleased and contented.

In this way, funding is not a problem, and you can try to be more relaxed about filming.

Gu Ming certainly didn't know much about filming, but his years of experience as a stunt double and action designer had given him some understanding. Coupled with a good director, this wasn't a problem.

The elevator stopped and someone walked in.

Gu Ming suddenly became serious.

Oto Yong.

Oto Yong looked at Gu Ming and frowned slightly at this moment.

But he got into the elevator and pressed the button.

"Furuya Akira, right? The actor who played Banku, the lead actor in this Seven. Furuya-kun has become quite famous recently. A lot of kids like you very much."

Gu Ming said: "It's mainly because the work is good. I'm just an actor."

"Yeah...but I heard that Furuya-kun is planning to create his own work recently?"

Gu Ming was not surprised.

This kind of plan couldn't be concealed once it was put into action, and he didn't hide it.

"Yes," Gu Ming responded, "We have reached a cooperation agreement with Mr. Kagi Ieki to participate in TBS's plan."

Oto Yong smoothed his meticulously groomed hair, and for some reason, his attitude became more intimate.

"Would you like to try coming to my place? I can try to get the best conditions for Furuya-kun, and I'll also let the producer coordinate the filming as much as possible. If you want to use our director, or someone else, that's fine."

In short, just come to his side!
Gu Ming bowed slightly and refused outright.

"I'm truly flattered by Mr. Oto's attention. However, I've just received praise from the representative of Takeda Pharmaceutical, so funding probably isn't a problem anymore."

"Is that so... Then I wish you all the best in your battle."

Oto Yong stopped talking. It was obvious that this incident forced him to rethink things.

Gu Ming stared at Da Hu Yong's back. If he took action, he could kill Da Hu Yong right now.

But of course he wouldn't do that.

"Mr. Da Hu." Gu Ming suddenly brought up a topic that Da Hu Yong had not expected.

"Where is Mr. 'Mizuno Minoru' next to you?"

Oto Yong still had his back to Gu Ming, and there was no change in his expression, except that his shoulders shrugged slightly.

"unimportant."

"Yeah."

When they reached the first floor, they heard the elevator make a ding sound and Gu Ming raised his hand: "Then, I'll go first?"

"Of course, please!"

Gu Ming left first, but Da Hu Yong pressed the elevator door closing button frantically, with veins bulging on his forehead.

"Assholes, fucking assholes, a bunch of assholes, can't do anything right, a bunch of trash!"

Now Oto Isamu is only thankful for one thing: no one will find Otomo Masaji.

At least Minoru Mizuno did a pretty good job on this matter.

……

……

"cheers!!"

In Wanguhe's room, it was a rare opportunity for everyone to drink, and the room was as noisy as a festive dinner.

Wang Ya Yingji couldn't drink alcohol, but he still stood by with a cup of tea, looking happy for a rare time.

If this matter is not resolved, Wan Gu will have to go to the TV station to apologize and lose all face.

I didn’t expect it to be resolved in this way, and it didn’t affect the filming at all, let alone having to seal any episode.

Wan Guyi hooked his arm around Gu Ming's neck with some intimacy.

"Oh, Furuya-kun has been a real help this time. Speaking of which, I heard that Furuya-kun is preparing a new production. I didn't expect that the suit actor has already started preparing his own production!"

Gu Ming also laughed: "It's just a coincidence, and I don't know if it will work out yet."

"Of course it's no problem since Furuya-kun is so experienced! Are you collaborating with TBS? I'm also a director at TBS, so you can ask me to do the filming when the time comes."

Gu Ming had actually considered this matter.

Wan Guyi is also an experienced director with quite good skills.

——Later, Wanguyi inherited Wangu. Some people said that it was because Wangu was a family business that had been passed down from generation to generation.

This is not wrong, but on the other hand, Wan Guyi's level is very good.

He really has a work, and as the eldest son, he is certainly qualified to inherit Wangu. In other words, the company that Wangu Eiji worked hard for is not meant to be handed over to anyone.

"Speaking of which..."

Gu Ming lowered his voice and spoke quietly with Wan Guyi for a few words.

"Speaking of the internal structure of the suit and other designs, if there was no help from Banku, Mr. Otomo Masaji would not have been able to obtain it. So, has Banku checked it?"

Wanguyi's smile disappeared in an instant.

"Gugu-kun, if possible, please don't ask about this matter."

"Really? Then I understand."

While pouring the wine, Gu Ming looked at the people in the room.

Wan Gu Jie was pouring tea for Wan Gu Eiji, while Wan Gu Ao was talking to Jin Cheng Zhe Fu.

Naturally, not much can be seen from their expressions.

There was corruption within Bankai, and he also assisted Otomo Masaji in doing this.

Once Wan Gu said that they should stop investigating, it was obvious that this person was a member of the Wan Gu family.

Gu Ming wisely chose not to ask any more questions.

Since it is a family matter, let Wan Gu Yingji handle it himself. No matter what, Gu Ming is an outsider and cannot interfere in internal affairs.

Wan Gu drank the wine in the glass, patted Gu Ming's shoulder lightly, and then turned to walk towards the others.

After three rounds of wine and five dishes, Narita Heng suddenly stood up.

"Dad."

"Yes, Narita-kun."

"This letter..."

"let it go."

"Won't you open it and take a look?"

"I'll open it and read it after Seven is finished."

"it is good."

It was a very brief conversation, but Gu Ming knew that Narita Toru had already submitted his resignation, and Mantani Eiji's reply was that he would at least finish filming Seven before leaving.

The meaning of these few conversations was not apparent to anyone, unless they were witnessed by him.

After submitting his resignation, Narita Toru's expression suddenly became much more relaxed, and his brows relaxed.

Eiji Mantani also sighed.

"So, where are you planning on going next, Narita-kun?"

Narita Toru spread his hands and said, "I'm not sure yet. Maybe I should go back to Toei and try."

Gu Ming Daqi: "Mr. Narita used to work for Toei?"

"Yes." Narita Toru smiled and said, "I was originally an employee of Toei, but at that time I often went to Toho to help out, so I got to know my father. Later, he invited me to come to Wangu to help out, so I came."

Wang Ya Eiji also teased for the first time: "Narita-kun, why don't you tell Amin about your glorious history?"

"Oh, that kind of thing is over now."

Having said that, Narita Heng still told Gu Ming about his conditions with some complacency.

"Dad invited me to Wangu, so I put forward a set of conditions."

"You have to use my assistants at Toei, and I'll be responsible for all the art design. Also, the salary must be paid according to the price I propose."

"At that time, I was very unhappy at Toei and thought such an offer would not be accepted, but my father agreed, so I left Toei and came here."

Wangu Eiji coughed lightly a few times and said, "Not satisfied? But you were already a renowned art director back then. Don't always talk like a newbie!"

Toru Narita did not become famous because of Ultraman.

Rather, he already had a reputation before Ultraman, and being with Bankaya only further developed his talents.

Gu Ming also understood why Narita Toru chose to leave resolutely.

As the new works were broadcast, Narita Toru had less and less say, especially when he recommended Gu Ming, there were many conflicts. Narita Toru chose to leave because he felt that he had no room to display his talents.

Narita Toru met the high requirements put forward by Eiji Mantani very well. Not only in Ultra Q and Ultraman, he also provided considerable support during his time at Toho.

"So, if Narita Toru goes to the Toei studio to assist Kamen Rider, it's more like... going home than helping?"

Gu Ming pondered the word.

Come back home!
