Japanese Entertainment: From special effects actor to action superstar

Chapter 178 Humanoid Knight Kick

The bright lights hung from the ceiling, and everything looked normal.

The old master rubbed his eyes and didn't think there was anything wrong.

"The previous equipment was broken, so we replaced it with a new one. What's the problem?"

The master doesn't think there is anything wrong with this.

Dao Hengzhe also hid behind the old master, and his voice was a little higher: "Just because of this, you framed me and beat me! How can I work at Toei in the future?"

Gu Ming stared for a moment, but still felt something was wrong.

"The masquerade is next door. Go find the lighting engineer for the masquerade."

Several young men in the office said yes, and soon called the lighting engineer from the masquerade tent next door.

Dao Hengzhe's heart suddenly tightened.

hateful.

He had forgotten that Gu Ming was also in the crew next door, and Gu Ming was the killing formation instructor there, so he had a certain say!
"But this guy shouldn't be able to tell."

With such a lucky hope, Dao Hengzhe moved a little closer to his master.

"Oh, you guys are so extravagant, hanging so many light bulbs, but none of them turn on."

The masked lighting technician looked up for a while, his eyes becoming blurry, and then he lowered his head.

"I say, how many watts is this lamp of yours?"

Ina Hengzhe's pupils narrowed instantly.

"This is significantly dimmer than the bulbs on either side. At this level, it's probably two or three watts lower. They're used the same way, but how can you mix the lights?"

Gu Ming did not answer, but just glanced at the entire crew with an expressionless face.

With so many people around, Dao Hengzhe had nowhere to run.

He turned to look at the lighting technician.

"They all look the same. Losing a few watts shouldn't have any impact, right?"

"It's certainly not noticeable when filming, but the brightness is definitely not up to standard. Furthermore, with this kind of high-lumen light, every watt increase requires a different amount of power. If you can reduce it by a few watts... you can save a lot of money on electricity."

After saying this, the lighting engineer couldn't help but shake his head with some emotion.

Why didn't he think of such a good idea? If he had known earlier, he would have replaced the light bulb with a worse one. No outsider could tell anyway!

"Everyone, I recently discovered some issues with the crew's spending, and now I've finally solved the case. Inahiro Tetsuya, you're about to embezzle all the crew's budget!"

Gu Ming turned around suddenly, and Dao Hengzhe reacted extremely quickly. Suddenly, he grabbed the old master in front of him with one hand, and with his other hand, he smashed the glass plate to the ground, breaking it into pieces.

"Don't come over here! I...I'm just trying to earn some pocket money!"

"But the money you embezzled was the crew's money!" Gu Ming raised his hand and asked others to move aside, while he quickly walked towards Inahime Tetsuya.

"You are not allowed to come over here! If you dare to come, I will kill you!"

"Inahime Tetsuya, you replaced a high-lumen lamp with a low-lumen one, thinking that no one would notice. Now you're holding hostage the teacher who has taken care of you for many years. You don't really want to die, do you?"

"Come over here and try again!"

The sharp glass seemed to have penetrated the master's neck.

Gu Ming really stopped moving and just stood there.

Dao Hengzhe held the master hostage and kept retreating.

He can't stay in the crew anymore, he has to run away!
Just as Inahiro Tetsuya was stepping back, Gu Ming suddenly raised his leg and picked up a prop on the ground with his toes.

The fake gem actually hit Inahime Tetsuya's wrist.

Dao Hengzhe also felt pain and the glass in his hand fell to the ground.

"Still want to run? Stay here!"

Gu Ming turned over and kicked in the air, hitting Inahime Tetsuya's body.

He flew out and fell to the ground, speechless for a long time, with faint traces of blood flowing out.

Jissoji Akio was shocked: "Dead!!"

Gu Ming walked forward and turned over to take a look.

He wasn't dead, just had a broken nose and was bleeding.

……

……

Dao Hengzhe was also expelled from the crew and sent to the police station.

Yes, it's a police station. "Police station" itself is a Japanese word. Gu Ming wasn't sure if embezzlement was a crime in Japan, but there was no doubt that Ina Hengzhe had also replaced equipment on the set.

Of course the money must be taken back, but the person cannot be used anymore.

The only thing to be thankful for is that it did not delay the filming of the crew.

Gu Ming looked up at the old master and saw a bit of sadness in this old man with a bad attitude.

"That's right. After all, the one who got into trouble was his own disciple."

Gu Ming shook his head secretly.

"It's unfortunate for our sect!"

However, this old master is quite skilled, so I will continue to use him.

"So, officer, is this man going to be sent to jail?"

The police officer spread his hands.

"Well, I'm not entirely familiar with your filming, but this kind of thing obviously won't get you jailed. The crew's losses are probably several hundred thousand yen, so we can only make him pay and recover the losses, but jail time is out of the question. The most we can do is detain him for a few days."

"Unless he hurt someone or did something else."

Gu Ming nodded, feeling a little regretful.

If this is the best I can do, then I've done my best.

After thanking the police officers, they prepared to leave. Seeing the officer hesitant, Gu Ming stopped and said, "So, is there anything else?"

"Oh, so you're the one, the 'wine', right? My son likes you very much, can you..."

Gu Ming understood.

Signature!
But when it comes to this, Gu Ming feels a little troubled.

He has never designed an artistic signature.

Most public figures do not follow the normal format when signing in order to avoid causing trouble.

It won’t work if it’s not specially designed.

Gu Ming thought for a moment and simply drew a pattern of glasses.

"What is your child's name?"

"Ash!"

"Then I wish Xiaozhi a happy new year. I mean, I hope Xiaozhi grows up safely and has a bright future."

After Gu Ming finished writing, he handed it to the police officer and left.

Speaking of which, Xiaozhi, this kid will definitely be suitable for playing Pokémon when he grows up.

The police officer looked down at the signature and sighed.

This actor...

The handwriting is a bit ordinary!

……

……

Two weeks later, Dao Hengzhe was released, but when he returned home, he felt extremely sad.

Not only did he lose his job, he had to pay compensation, was scolded by his boss and expelled from his hometown, and was also blamed by his parents.

A certain feeling of hatred gradually emerged.

"It's all those people's fault. I just stole a few light bulbs, and they acted like that, talking about love and tenderness. Why can't they forgive me just once? Can't they be a little gentler to me? I can change for the better!"

"Oh, and there's that accountant too. If she hadn't noticed the problem with the lighting expenses, those guys wouldn't have noticed it at all!"

Dao Hengzhe also cursed a few words. He wanted to cook a meal for himself, but the kitchen knife accidentally fell into the gap of the cabinet where he could not reach.

He could only mutter some unpleasant words while going out to buy a new kitchen knife.

"Even the knife can't get through me!"

Dao Hengzhe also felt that his life was over.

When their eyes accidentally passed by, Dao Hengzhe's eyes suddenly lit up.

There were two women walking by on the street. One was the accountant that Gu Ming had hired, and the other woman with a hairband was someone he didn't recognize.

Driven by inexplicable emotions, Dao Hengzhe also followed quickly with a kitchen knife in his pocket.
