Japanese Entertainment: From special effects actor to action superstar

Chapter 219 It’s You, Moriji-kun
It wasn't without reason that Gu Ming wanted to get involved in the production of Kesai.

On the one hand, Gu Ming knew that this work would be very popular in Zhouguo later, and on the other hand, there was a characteristic in the image design of Kesai.

Kesai is red!
The whole body is red!

Since this image has passed the review, it means there is a lot of room for improvement.

On the other hand, Gu Ming also needs to find a work so that his brothers in the office can make a living, especially after recruiting some people from the Ono Sword Club.

If he doesn't start working, who will follow him?

Wan Gu thought for a long time and finally nodded.

The conditions are a bit harsh, but not unacceptable.

"This drama isn't too expensive, so it's hard to hire expensive actors." Wan Guyi said jokingly, "Why don't we find the lead actor from Furuya-kun's agency?"

"There doesn't seem to be anyone suitable on my side."

Gu Ming originally wanted to recommend Zhen Xialong, but then he thought it was not a good idea.

Special effects works have a characteristic, because the main audience is children, and children cannot distinguish between actors and characters.

So, basically in special effects works, one actor only plays one protagonist to avoid confusion among the audience.

In other words, if Zhen Xialong becomes Kesai, he can no longer become Fengyuan.

Although it is not completely impossible, it will inevitably make children feel confused.

In comparison, Gu Ming still hopes that he can go back to play Feng Yuan.

"But speaking of actors, I actually know one whose acting is acceptable and whose price isn't too high."

Gu Ming snapped his fingers, looking confident of victory.

"Brother, do you remember that 'Metron Starman'?"

……

……

Akira Moritsugu packed up and prepared to return to his hometown.

It has been more than half a year since his last performance, and Moritsugu Akira, who is almost moldy at the construction site, has not received any performance opportunities. He is preparing to return to his hometown to inherit the company.

"Tokyo is boring, let's go home."

Akira Moritsugu sighed and packed up the things he brought to take away.

With a clang, a small part fell out of the bag and Akira Moritsugu hurried to pick it up.

I picked it up and looked at it carefully, and it looked quite familiar.

This was a small gift given to him by the crew when he left Seven's crew. It was Seven's head dart.

"Oh, what a pity it's no longer useful. If I had played Seven, maybe I wouldn't have to go back home today!"

Akira Moritsugu sighed a little.

Hokkaido is so cold! He doesn't like Hokkaido!

There is no central heating in Japan, and it is so cold in Hokkaido that people want to die.

If given a choice, Akira Moritsugu would like to go somewhere warmer.

Looking around, I realized I've lived in this room for quite a while, but now it's time to say goodbye.

With a touch of sadness, Akira Moritsugu bowed deeply, even though no one saw it.

"Thank you for your care over the years. I'm leaving now."

Akira Moritsugu held the package in one hand and locked the door. He leaned his head against the door and sighed softly.

In the end, when I left Tokyo, I didn't even have any friends to see me off.

Moritsugu Akira was about to go downstairs with the package on his back with difficulty when he heard someone shouting outside.

"Hiroshi Moriji, the construction site office is on the line! Hiroshi Moriji, the construction site office is on the line! Someone's looking for you!"

"Looking for me?!"

Feeling somewhat confused, Akira Moritsugu went all the way to the office of the construction site where he worked. He casually threw the microphone on the table, and could vaguely hear the voice on the other end.

"Hello? This is Hiroshi Moriji."

"Ohhh!! It's Furuya-kun, of course I remember."

"Yes, um, right...ah?!! Me? Can I?"

"I'm always available! No, no, no, I don't have to go home. If you need me, I can go now!"

After hanging up the phone, Moritsugu Akira clenched his fists and recited a poem on the spot.

Hokkaido is too cold;
Tokyo is still interesting;
Keep acting!
He ran all the way back to his residence, kicked the packed package into the house, and turned into a man as fast as the wind. He went out and hailed a taxi. I'm happy today, and I don't care about spending money!

"I'm going to the Extreme Action Agency!"

The taxi driver turned to look at the overly excited Akira Moritsugu.

"where?"

……

……

Extreme Action Agency.

"Brother Gugu!"

Although he is older, Akira Moritsugu is well aware of the hierarchy in the workplace and bows his head with sincerity.

"How did you find him?"

Manatsu Ryu glanced at Moritsugu Koji and asked Gu Ming secretly, "It's been a long time since we last met!"

For some reason, as soon as he saw Akira Moritsugu, Mayushi felt a pain in his waist.

The pain was severe from the inside out, as if I had been beaten dozens of times with a cane.

Gu Ming looked at Zhen Xialong.

"Look, isn't it because he didn't call you Brother Long that you want to kill him with a jeep?"

Gu Ming also returned the greeting and said, "Morichi-kun, long time no see. Do you remember this person? This is Manaka Ryu."

Moritsugu Akira nodded and also greeted: "Brother Seto."

Manatsu Ryuu instantly felt relaxed all over.

The person that Gu Ming is looking for is of course Akihiko Moritsugu. Akihiko Moritsugu's acting skills cannot be called top-notch, but they are definitely acceptable, otherwise he would not be qualified to film the Taiga drama.

Taiga drama is a Japanese historical drama. Although it has been adapted into a lot of entertainment formats later on, it was still very serious in the 1970s and 1980s. People with low skills were not qualified to perform in Taiga drama.

Nowadays, those who can shoot Taiga dramas have no chance of being selected without acting skills. From this point of view, Moritsugu Akihiko's acting skills are at least above average.

In terms of appearance, Akira Moritsugu has a square face, which is dignified and upright enough to suit the role of a traditional male protagonist.

Even though his skills are a bit lacking, it’s a special effects film after all, and there are suit actors in the action scenes!
"Morichi-kun, let's get straight to the point. Wangu has a production coming up soon and needs actors and other collaborations, so he approached me. When it comes to the male lead, you're the first person I thought of. Regarding your side..."

Moritsugu Akira replied: "I have time!"

"Morichi-kun is really efficient." Gu Ming said, "If there are no problems, would you like to sign with our firm..."

Moritsugu Koji said faster than Tani Akira: "I'm fine!"

Gu Ming took a breath of the concentrated ray.

What kind of experience made Akira Moritsugu react so quickly!
It seems like these past few years in Tokyo must have been very depressing.

"Okay, it's settled. The filming for this drama will begin after the New Year, and the agency will notify Moriji-kun at that time. If Moriji-kun has nothing to do, you can come to the agency to receive daily training to improve your action performance skills."

"I usually get a fixed salary every month, and there are additional bonuses when there are performances. However, all performances must be approved by the agency first, and I cannot contact them privately."

Gu Ming was very careful in this regard and would not allow anyone in the firm to take private work without going through the firm.

Cheng Long originally had the Cheng Clan, which he temporarily formed with his brothers who were martial artists back then.

It was because during the filming of "Project Flying Eagle", everyone in the crew went to take private work and no one followed him. In the end, he was exhausted and the filming failed. The Cheng family class collectively demanded a subsidy of 500 yuan per person per day. In a fit of anger, Cheng Long disbanded the Cheng family class and reorganized it into a formal company.

Cheng Long also set strict rules, prohibiting anyone from taking private work without the Cheng family team.

In this regard, Gu Ming learned his lesson. No matter how good the relationship is, it will not work. Strict regulations must be made from the beginning.

No private work allowed!
The conditions seemed a bit harsh, but the money was a lot, so Akira Moritsugu was still very satisfied.

After all, he is a person who doesn't even have a chance now, so why would he care about whether it is private work or not.

Gu Ming talked for a few more words and the matter was settled.

It's a pity that Keiji Takamine had already joined the agency and was not a free agent, otherwise Gu Ming would have wanted to find Keiji Takamine as well.

"There's also a Tuan Shilang. I don't know what Tuan Shilang is doing now... He must be very busy as a model!"

Gu Ming thought about it and gave a few words of encouragement before leaving, while Zhen Xialong stayed here.

Moritsugu Akira suppressed his joyful expression, looked at Manatsu Ryu, and quickly bowed again.

"Seto-senpai."

Manatsu Ryuu hissed, feeling so happy.

He has become a senior too!

Being called a senior, he wouldn't feel bad even if someone drove a jeep to create a new one!
