Japanese Entertainment: From special effects actor to action superstar

Chapter 186 Shaolin Great Sacred Stick

After Chiba Shinichi left, Nijiamoto Tatsumi came over to Gu Ming and explained in a low voice, "When I was coaching Judo Ichixian before, this Chiba Shinichi came to make a guest appearance, and he's been trying to recruit me ever since."

Of course, Niikemoto Tatsumi would not go, although he has always admired Chiba Shinichi.

But the Yakuza has its own rules, and Nijiamoto Tatsumi doesn't want to be the villain whose fingers are cut off.

Gu Ming nodded slightly but did not say anything explicitly.

Shinichi Chiba is quite powerful, but if Shinichi Chiba comes to poach people, Gu Ming will definitely issue him a challenge.

Seeing Shinichi Chiba passing by Yasuaki Kurata, the two talked for a few words, and Gu Ming raised his eyebrows slightly.

Well, I hope Yasuaki Kurata can tell Shinichi Chiba not to poach people.

"Don't think about it for now, just focus on preparing for the competition. Everyone present here are representatives selected by several companies. If they are not satisfied, they will not be qualified to participate in the killing formation!"

Manazalong suddenly felt more pressured.

Fortunately, he originally learned Japanese Shaolin Kung Fu, so the Shaolin stick techniques that Gu Ming taught him temporarily were relatively easy to learn.

In addition to Chiba Shinichi and Kurata Yasuaki, there were several agencies whose names Gu Ming had never heard of, but they should not be underestimated. Perhaps there was an unknown giant like Xuan Hongsha hiding among them.

Soon, people started lining up and getting their numbers called. Chiba Shinichi was the most famous, so naturally his firm was also the most advanced.

When they came out soon, they all looked confident.

"The next one should be Kurata Yasuaki..."

Just as Gu Ming had this thought, he heard someone calling out, "Extreme Action Agency!"

Gu Ming let out a light exclamation, but then felt relieved.

Before he knew it, his rank in Japan was actually higher than Yasuaki Kurata.

Gu Ming immediately brought people into the studio.

The studio was brightly lit, the venue had already been set up, and several instruments were laid out, such as the ten-hand weapon, the ninja fork, the samurai stick, etc.

Gu Ming stared at the stick for a while. This thing is quite similar to the eyebrow-high stick in China. It is a kind of stick that Ryukyu martial arts learned from Southern Shaolin. It has anti-cutting designs on both sides to prevent people from sliding down the stick and cutting their hands when fighting against the enemy. The two sides are painted black and the middle is shiny.

Facing several people, Gu Ming naturally would not be stage-frightened.

"Although our agency has only been around for a short time, we already have a wealth of experience in outstanding stunt design. I started out as an action actor, primarily playing the role of Ultraman in Ultraman. Later, I participated in the design of action sequences for Ultraman and Ultra Seven, and also appeared in and performed in several TBS original dramas, such as Tomb of the Righteous. My agency provided stunt design services for Toei's film "Judo Straight Line," and we have established a long-term, stable partnership with judo master Masahiko Kimura."

"Currently, there are two productions that our agency is responsible for that are currently being screened: 'Cat's Eyes' on TBS and 'Kamen Rider Heroes' on TV Asahi. I myself... am the protagonist in both productions."

After Gu Ming finished speaking, he looked at the representatives calmly.

A few people whispered to each other for a few words. Gu Ming moved his ears and could vaguely hear some sounds.

"Spaceman..."

"The news one."

"it should be OK."

“No schedule…”

"The actors have been booked."

Gu Ming clicked his tongue.

Aliens have become a fixed label!

It doesn’t really matter if there’s no schedule. The actors for this drama have all been booked, and there’s no place for Gu Ming. Now the main focus is on finding Sha Zhen to perform and other behind-the-scenes staff.

After a few words of discussion, the kind-looking representative from Toho bowed slightly. "It's Furuya-kun. I've heard of these works, especially the collaboration with Mantani. It's impossible to perform to that level without a solid foundation."

"Then... I'd like to invite you to demonstrate your ideas."

Gu Ming responded, took a few steps back, and gave the stage to Manatsu Ryu.

Manatsu Ryu briefly introduced himself, his background, and his agency. He concluded, "I've learned Shaolin Kung Fu and am also seeking instruction in Goju Karate. If possible, I believe I could be the stunt double for 'Sun Wukong.'"

After saying that, he drew out his samurai stick and began to demonstrate his moves.

Gu Ming folded his arms and stood outside the field, watching quietly.

The time was too short, less than two weeks in total, and there was no way to teach him too much. The main thing was appearance, just looking presentable. But then he saw Zhen Xialong waving his staff, demonstrating the staff techniques that Gu Ming had taught him one by one.

So-called

The Fire Stick Technique was passed down by Kinna, and with twenty-five moves, it can suppress Mount Songshan.

The Bodhisattva puts his hands together in the foreground as Wei Tuo presents his pole.

The immortal pointed the way and stabbed it horizontally, immediately blocking the enemy and building a mountain.

……

Finally, Manatsu Ryu bared his teeth and made a monkey-like grin.

Gu Ming looked at several representatives and saw that their eyes were fixed on them. It was obvious that this set of fancy moves had worked.

Gu Ming took advantage of the situation and said, "Since this is a big production, the design of the killing array cannot be perfunctory. I already have my own ideas for the killing array."

He pulled out a bamboo sword and threw it to Nijiamoto Tatsumi. Nijiamoto Tatsumi understood what he meant, raised the bamboo sword high, shouted, and chopped at Manatsu Ryu with Satsuma Shigenryu.

"Monkey, die!"

Manatsu Ryu reacted and exchanged a few moves with him. At the end, he flipped his stick and knocked Nikamoto Tatsumi over. Nikamoto also cooperated by rolling on the ground and lying on the ground, motionless.

“Oh my… OK!!”

Now the representatives couldn't help themselves.

If it was just one person demonstrating a routine, then there would be many people who could do it. But in a fight like this, it was different.

"Alright, alright, you're an agency that's capable of producing these productions. You're quite capable! However, I can't make any hasty decisions regarding the performance of this drama's battle sequence. I hope you all understand."

Of course Gu Ming could understand.

However, he was still confident that he could handle the matter, so he bowed slightly with a few people, collected his equipment, and turned to leave the house.

The next one is Yasuaki Kurata, followed by several other firms.

Gu Ming couldn't tell the result now, but judging from the expressions of the representatives, it should be pretty good.

"I just don't know how Chiba Shinichi was doing at the time, but it shouldn't be a big problem."

Gu Ming thought to himself and took a few quick steps.

The door opened, and the voice behind him drifted in with the wind.

"How about it?"

"good."

“JAC is also good.”

"Okinawa stick technique..."

“I don’t understand, but it’s all quite lively.”

"Can it be used in actual combat?"

Gu Ming clicked his tongue.
