Japanese Entertainment: From special effects actor to action superstar

Chapter 181 The Real Output

After that, Gu Ming tried it a few more times in private, but he never kicked anything more than ten meters away.

Gu Ming could only sigh, "I once ran for a kilometer in a state of extreme rage and kicked someone dozens of meters away. Why, you humans can't do this kind of thing?"

Manatsu Ryu could only shake his head.

That is definitely impossible!!
Normal people like us have to stop and catch our breath after running one kilometer!
Gu Ming laughed it off and ignored the matter.

Today, Gu Ming is waiting for others at the office. Representatives from Muto Pharmaceutical and several other TBS sponsors are planning to visit the office.

Not long after, the people arrived at the office. Gu Ming didn't know anyone except the representative of Muto Pharmaceutical, Zeng Gen Jack, but it didn't matter. Gu Ming took a few people to show them the design inside the office and took a look at the current spirit of the office.

Although the firm is a bit poor and is located in a shabby warehouse, everyone is very energetic and full of energy!

"Hahaha, great! It really is a vibrant firm."

Zengen Jack was quite satisfied.

"I don't know what's going on at Toei, but this drama on Maoyan peaked at 54% viewership, which has a very positive impact on the image of companies like us!"

Gu Ming knew that 54% was the episode after the news was broadcast, and many people wanted to see what the aliens looked like.

Many viewers stayed after watching it. After all, the three sisters in tight-fitting clothes are still very eye-catching. Toshio Utsumi, a motivated and occasionally careless herbivore, is also a popular character in Japan.

So in the end, Maoyan's ratings were set at around 40%, with occasional fluctuations.

Kamen Rider has not experienced any ups and downs. It has currently aired the last episode of the first season, and the ratings have risen to over 26%. It is not as good as Mantani's two works, but it is a big improvement compared to the original Rider.

——The original series’ first season had a viewership rating of only 10%!

At the end of the visit, Jack also asked about the plans for the next season.

"The first season has already been filmed. After discussions with several other companies, Muto Pharmaceuticals plans to continue sponsoring the next three seasons, increasing investment to make it an annual series. The scale can also be a bit bigger! Didn't you say you wanted to find foreigners? Look! Find as many as you can! If we can expand into overseas markets, that would be even better!"

This is a demand from sponsors and TV stations in many aspects.

Gu Ming was prepared early in the morning. He took out the plan he had written earlier and showed it to Zenggen Jack.

This project tells the story of Hong Kong international police detective Chun Li taking over Muto Ran's position and continuing to catch Cat's Eye.

Gu Ming did not talk about anything that seemed to be an export, such as the hammer and sickle, socialism, or the shared system. He did not mention anything at all.

Gu Ming tells stories, which is a way of thinking to solve problems. It is a way of solving problems in the pan-Asian context with China as the main culture of the motherland.

In addition, Gu Ming also prepared another plan.

This project tells the story between a female police officer from the United States and Cat's Eye.

Actor Gu Mingdu is ready. Cynthia Rothrock, the champion of the All-American Karate Championship, later starred in many Hong Kong movies and even played the leading role in Hong Kong movies. He is well versed in various martial arts routines and is very good at fighting.

And because the martial arts champion has a great reputation, this person is particularly easy to find.

Most importantly, she has not made any movies yet.

It is worthless!

Jack flipped through it briefly and waved his hand.

Shoot! He’s in charge!

Hong Kong policewoman? Shoot! Send the tapes directly to Hong Kong to expand the market!
An American policewoman? Find her! Once you find her, you can directly invite her to film in Japan with a generous salary! We're not short of money anyway!

If it weren't for the fact that there were only four seasons, Jack hoped Gu Ming would find another one in Europe, and then in Russia. Forget about Zhou Kingdom, whose market is currently impossible to penetrate no matter how hard the world tries. If it were possible, even Guangzhou alone would have a population of tens of millions, and the market in Guangdong and Guangxi would be enough to feed any country. But it was a pity that he couldn't penetrate.

As long as the ratings are good, TBS can expand its overseas market and Muto Pharmaceutical can also build a reputation overseas.

Win-win!

Gu Ming pinched his fingers secretly.

To be precise, it is of course a win-win-win situation!

……

……

Gu Ming plans to write the script for the new season himself because no one else can write what he wants.

However, Gu Ming still entrusted the part of Cynthia Rothrock to familiar screenwriters, such as Masazo Uehara and Tetsuo Kaneshiro, and outsourced a few episodes.

Jincheng could only write one chapter because Wangu started filming "Kaiki Daisakusen". Sponsors including Muto Pharmaceutical were looking forward to it and hoped that Wangu could achieve greater success again.

But Gu Ming knew this was impossible.

The ratings for Strange Wars were mediocre, so only two seasons were filmed.

But Gu Ming has no intention of interfering in the production of Kaiju Wars.

The reason is simple. This drama is also a classic among suspense and thriller fans. Although it only has two seasons, it is short and concise. Gu Ming does not intend to rewrite this classic work just for his ideas.

After Kaiki Daisakushou, there was Almighty Jack. These two dramas caused Bankai to collapse internally. He severed his cooperation with TBS and switched to Fuji TV.

Gu Ming doesn't care about Strange Wars, but Gu Ming of Almighty Jack still wants to intervene.

“Let’s write the script first.”

Gu Ming shook his head secretly and concentrated on writing.

Cultural output is a classic term, but Gu Ming believes that we can only talk about culture after we have exported it.

False cultural output: A large number of Confucius Institutes were built, but not only foreigners but even the Zhou people themselves didn’t care about them.

Real cultural output: Look carefully, this man is called John, and this woman is called May; they borrow money from their fourth aunt to buy expansion screws; they cut donkey hooves, slaughter pigs, grow vegetables and raise chickens.

The best example right now is Jackie Chan’s famous works, Snake in the Eagle’s Shadow and Drunken Master. These two films won the box office championship in many Asian countries. The plots and images in the two works have been adopted in many works. For example, Yuan Xiaotian’s image is Zhen Yuanzhai in The King of Fighters, Huang Zhengli’s image is Tao Paibai, and the first martial arts tournament in Dragon Ball is played by the pseudonym Jackie Chan, etc.

Jackie Chan never intended to export anything, but his image and movie scenes have become film and television classics.

“So the script has to be written this way.”

Gu Ming wrote that Chun-Li is an international criminal police officer from Hong Kong who was ordered to investigate the rampant Cat's Eye. This person has a capable image and is decisive in his work. His hair is combed short, which reflects his capable characteristics. His clothing is semi-male, that is, men's shirts and trousers, and he does not use sexiness to highlight the characteristics of this character.

——But this is also a uniform, not sexy, but equally attractive.

Her catchphrase is 'My grandma once said...'

Of course, what grandma said were all allusions and idioms from the Chinese-speaking world, achieving invisible output.

Hey! Don't look down on the landlady.

Yuan Qiu was very beautiful when she was young!
