Japanese Entertainment: From special effects actor to action superstar

Chapter 420 Section Chief Tachibana, why are you just looking at me?
In Ginza, Tokyo, in a shop that looks extravagant and expensive, Tani Akira sits opposite a man with a small mustache, drinking and singing.

"Cheers! Hahaha... Today is definitely the happiest day of my life."

Tachibana Bunta wiped his mouth and sighed, "I really didn't expect that things would change so unexpectedly. Thinking back, I was able to get into the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department because of that old man's favor."

Bunta Tachibana changed the subject: "However, even so, this matter is not easy to handle. After all, that is the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, and it is not possible to just go in and take pictures."

unless……

Bunta Tachibana fiddled with the wine glass as if it were a very exquisite work of art.

Gu Ming understood it at a glance.

This will cost extra!
But just as Gu Ming was about to speak, Tachibana Bunta suddenly changed his mind: "However, on the other hand, it's not impossible to do this."

He looked into Gu Ming's eyes, stared at him for a moment, and then raised a finger.

"For the sake of the old man, this time it's free."

Gu Ming bowed slightly: "Please speak."

“Normally, camera equipment is not allowed in the Metropolitan Police Department, but there are exceptions, such as when conducting interviews. It’s quite a coincidence that the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department recently cracked a smuggling case, and I was the one in charge. It’s just a shame that I couldn’t find anyone to interview me about such a good thing.”

Gu Ming was delighted.

Isn't that easy to handle?

Gu Ming paused, then suddenly realized that this was indeed a difficult situation.

Currently, his closest relationship is with TV Tokyo, but TV Tokyo has a rather awkward point.

TV Tokyo does not have the right to conduct interviews!

After a moment's thought, Gu Ming finally spoke: "Let's put aside the interview for now. How about we do a special program on it? A special interview program?"

"Oh dear! This is too much of a waste! I can't accept this! Oh dear, please don't, please don't! Oh dear, how did this interview come to me all of a sudden! I didn't agree to it."

Bunta Tachibana initially refused, but then readily agreed.

“Then it’s settled.” Tachibana Bunta chuckled. “You and I will use this as the excuse. I can probably get about two hours for the recording. During that time, except for some confidential areas, we can film the rest. We can even film the outside of the building.”

Gu Ming quickly went through it in his mind.

Two hours is enough for location scouting; afterwards, we can set up the set and shoot in the studio. Action scenes can also be moved to the studio for filming.

Even so, some shots still had to be taken inside the actual Metropolitan Police Department building.

"Speaking of which, if this work is successfully screened, will it have any impact on Tachibana-kun?"

"How could that be?" Bunta Tachibana laughed. "The show has already aired, who cares about those things? Even if they wanted to hold me accountable then, it would be too late. If you had filmed some positive shots, my boss might have even praised me for doing a good job!"

Gu Ming understood this perfectly.

This is indeed a classic case of the underdog overthrowing the superior.

With that saying, things become much easier.

As for Bunta Tachibana's claim that he didn't want any compensation, that was obviously a lie, since Akira Tani had to contact TV Tokyo to do an interview program for this filming.

Since interviews are not allowed, they use talk shows to circumvent this restriction.

In essence, this is a form of resource exchange.

The two clinked glasses, and everything was understood without a word.

"Actually, I've heard about Furuya-kun's story too. To be able to impress even foreigners, he must be an amazing person. We should keep in touch more often. When I was young, I also thought about becoming an actor, haha!"

As he spoke, Bunta Tachibana even gave a rather convincing performance.

Gu Ming then spoke up: "In that case, how about giving Ju Jun a role in the final cut?"

"Really? Oh no! I won't stand on ceremony!"

After settling things off, the two ate and drank for a while before getting up to leave.

…… ……

Outside Ginza, a black Honda was parked in an alley. Honda's assistant from the Mikawa office leaned back in the back seat, gazing at the Toyota across the street.

"When that person comes out, just ram him. Of course, don't hit him, just hit his car!"

Honda's assistant flexed his wrists.

He didn't come to kill anyone; this was just some kind of warning.

That bastard agency dared to offend their Mikawa office! On President Tokugawa's orders, he had to teach that guy a lesson today.

Honda's assistant had heard some rumors, but they were obviously false.

How could a human possibly do those things? Look at his well-trained body; every muscle is designed for beating people. He'll teach the other person a lesson when the time comes!
As they were talking, two people, arms around each other's shoulders, walked out of the building and headed towards their car, seemingly in a friendly manner.

"coming!"

Honda's assistant shoved the driver: "Run them over!"

"Yes!"

The driver gritted his teeth, slammed on the gas, and the black Honda roared to life, accompanied by groans and screams. In an instant, it crashed into the side of the Toyota.

Koizumi, who was leaning against the side smoking, suddenly showed a look of astonishment.

What the hell!
Gu Mingyi and Tachibana Bunta glanced over at that moment.

Just how much did this person drink?!
The slightly deformed car door was kicked open from the inside. Honda's assistant put on brass knuckles, flexed his wrists, and walked towards Gu Ming.

"Furuya Akira! Remember this: if you dare to do something like this again, this car will be your fate!"

Gu Ming glanced at Tachibana Bunta.

Bunta Tachibana's face turned bright red, and he roared, "Who are you?!"

"Mikawa Office, Honda Heihachi! And which gang are you from?!"

"I……"

Bunta Tachibana took a deep breath: "I am Bunta Tachibana from the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department's Second Investigation Division!"

Honda's assistant: ? ? ?
I'm super, police!

He reacted quickly, grabbed the driver from the car, and turned to run away.

Bunta Tachibana pulls out his badge: "You're under arrest! Come with me to the Metropolitan Police Department for pork cutlet rice!"

Honda's assistant ran even faster.

Gu Ming then looked at Tachibana Bunta, who remained motionless.

Section Chief Tachibana, why are you just watching?!
"What 'Second Investigation Section'? I'll do it myself!"

Gu Ming casually broke off two rearview mirrors and threw them over.

The first one knocked over the driver, and the second one knocked out Honda's assistant.

"What Honda Heihachi? You got confused right away? I thought you were Honda Tadakatsu!"

Tachibana Fumio rubbed his eyes.

I don’t know if it’s an illusion.

He thinks he just saw someone break off a car's rearview mirror with their bare hands and use it to hit someone.

Look at the two unconscious people on the ground, and then look at the two rearview mirrors that were shattered due to the excessive force.

Tachibana Bunta gasped.

That's not even human!
