Japanese Entertainment: From special effects actor to action superstar

Chapter 419 Mr. Xu, Unforgivable
When he returned to Wangu, his identity was completely different.

Many people from Mangaku were sent to Nara to film the school scenes. The two parts were filmed and produced simultaneously, making the Mangaku company headquarters unusually quiet.

Of course, this is also due to the fact that Gu Ming recently entrusted Tanaka to drastically dismiss a large number of contract workers.

The corruption in Wan Gu is pervasive, from top to bottom, starting with Wan Gu'ao and going down to the lowest-ranking lighting technicians. Almost everyone with the ability does this. Gu Ming can't guarantee that he has solved everything right now, but as long as it's within the tolerance range, everything will be fine.

In the planning office of Mangoku, Tetsuo Kinjo was already waiting with several other familiar screenwriters.

"Furuya-kun."

"Furutani...President."

Upon seeing Gu Ming enter, the group stood up and bowed. Yamada Masahiro greeted him somewhat awkwardly, clearly not yet familiar with this change in status.

Gu Ming raised his hand and grabbed a handful of air.

"Everyone, please sit down. How's the script coming along?"

“It’s all ready, but, Furuya-kun, you can just have someone deliver it. Why bother coming in person?”

"Since it's a script that's going to be filmed, of course I have to read it myself, so that if there are any problems, I can raise them at any time."

As Gu Ming spoke, he opened the file folder that Tetsuo Kinjo had given him.

This is a script that was improved based on his proposed plan. Overall, the structure is not too different from "Léon: The Professional," but some adjustments were made to adapt to the Japanese context.

For example, the anti-drug operation was changed to crack down on Yakuza rioters, and the original corrupt police officers were reassigned as international criminals from overseas.

Sigh! Don't worry about why international criminal organizations can handle this issue; it's not important.

Gu Ming turned a few more pages, then suddenly stopped.

"Otani climbed over the windowsill and landed in another house... Mr. Kinjo, is that all?"

Tetsuo Kinjo stepped forward, slightly uneasy: "Yes, is there a problem here?"

“Make the scene a little bigger. Imagine the scene: the pursuers are running on the rooftops, Otani is escaping on the rooftops, and finally he uses the terrain to take down the enemies one by one and hide in the safe house. Wouldn’t that be a much better scene?”

Tetsuo Kinjo was genuinely startled: "This, this is not a good place to film! Besides, this story takes place outside the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department. Otani caused all this trouble to rescue high school student Hoshizumi. How could we possibly do something like this in the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department building!"

"It seems... that it really works."

Gu Ming thought back to that little notebook.

That said, there was indeed the name of a Metropolitan Police Department investigation division chief on the notebook.

Of course, a mere investigation section chief obviously couldn't get them to film a movie at the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, but Gu Ming thought it was definitely worth a try.

"I can find a way to resolve this. In short, the script needs to be modified a bit more. The battle scenes here can be made a little bigger, don't be stingy. Also, we need to show the scenes of Xingquan using firearms to violently spray bullets."

In the original Léon: The Professional, Léon tried his best to keep Mathilda out of these situations, but things are different now; this is Japan.

The series "Sailor Uniforms and Machine Guns" features scenes of high school girls using submachine guns to fire, images that are very popular with Japanese audiences.

Therefore, it is impossible to copy it completely.

After Gu Ming finished speaking, he noticed that the screenwriters were all taking notes diligently in their notebooks. This scene reminded Gu Ming of certain scenes. "Ahem... Anyway, that's all. Oh, and also, regarding the contact person 'Mr. Xu,' there doesn't need to be too much screen time. Just a brief appearance is enough. This character is the key person in sending Xingquan away in the end, so don't give him too much screen time."

Tetsuo Kinjo naturally responded.

"Speaking of which, Furuya-kun's handling of this is truly masterful. Although I initially wondered why a contact would have a foreign surname like 'Xu,' as the script was being written, I gradually came to understand Furuya-kun's true intention. For the assassin Otani, everything he did was unforgivable. Saving high school student Hoshino was more like a form of self-redemption for him. However, even so, his sins were unforgivable, which is why Otani met such an end in the end. It's a truly moving story!"

Gu Ming: ?
What the hell?

Suddenly, Tetsuo Kinjo realized something! He had simply chosen a common Hong Kong and Taiwanese surname. After all, Mr. Xu, the contact, would take Hoshino to Hong Kong after the story ended.

But Tetsuo Kinjo seemed to have taken a liking to it, and began to draw on his notebook.

"Mr. Xu... if we use such words to describe it, and adopt Chinese surnames, then the effect will be like this. I must say, it's a very sophisticated word game!"

Mr. Xu, if written in Japanese, would be '许さん'.

Meanwhile, the Japanese word for "unforgivable" or "unforgivable" is written as "许さない". In violent groups like the Yakuza, a more forceful pronunciation is used, which is "许さん".

In other words, they are homophones but different characters in Japanese.

After finishing his story, Tetsuo Kinjo exclaimed in admiration, "The unforgivable Mr. Xu, the unforgivable killer, Mr. Furuya is truly amazing."

Gu Ming understood, but was speechless for a moment.

He certainly didn't arrange for Mr. Xu to be there for that reason.

"I didn't expect Mr. Jincheng to see through it, hahaha! I'm not surprised at all."

Gu Ming clapped his hands: "In short, let's modify the script according to the ideas we provided before."

Tetsuo Kinjo immediately wrote it down.

"In that case, it should take about two or three more days, no, to be precise, two days, to finish modifying the script."

"Thank you for your hard work."

Gu Ming bowed slightly before leaving.

As soon as he turned around, Gu Ming gave instructions to Tian Zhong.

"Here's a number. Call it for me when you have time and see if you can arrange a meeting alone. This person is called 'Tachibana Bunta,' and he's the head of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department's Investigation Division."

Tanaka agreed and quickly did so using Mango's phone.

"They initially refused, but after we identified ourselves as Mr. Furuya, they agreed and will have time tonight."

Gu Ming nodded.

Then we can meet with the head of the investigation department and see if we can find a way to film the story at the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department building.

As the car drove out of the alley, Gu Ming's eyes shifted slightly, and he clearly saw another car parked not far from the intersection.

A black Honda.
