Japanese Entertainment: From special effects actor to action superstar

Chapter 423 I ran on the roof

Gu Ming waited until there was still half an hour left before Jishoji Akio announced the end of the session.

Gu Ming couldn't help but feel suspicious.

What the hell?! He's shooting so fast here, but they've been filming for so long over there?
Akio Jissoji raised his eyelids slightly.

"The emotions aren't right. How can you act casually when the emotions in a dramatic scene aren't right? Do you think it's like you just casually moving your fists and feet and that's it?"

"I'm not just casually practicing my martial arts; I'll talk to you about this when we get back."

Gu Ming clapped his hands and called to everyone.

“I’m planning to do a shot, you guys see if it’s feasible. According to the script, the assassin Otani will escape with high school student Hoshinobu. Facing the special forces team that surrounds them, he knows he can’t handle it, so he decides to climb onto the balcony to escape. This was written in the script before, but I’ve decided to change the method.”

Gu Ming pointed.

There is a balcony outside.

Seeing the astonished looks on everyone's faces, Gu Ming continued, "When the time comes, we'll go out from here to the balcony. I'll carry Hiroko up, and you guys can build some foam walls here as partitions to make it look like we've been through many rooms. It's okay if there are no sliding rails; we'll use small carts. The cameraman, you push it smoothly from here to the end. Then I'll jump in from the end of the conference room, and finally, we'll have Section Chief Tachibana make a cameo appearance. Don't stop in the middle; it'll be a one-shot film. How about that? Isn't that daring?"

A silence.

With some uncertainty, Akio Jissoji asked, "Who's going up to run?"

"I."

“That balcony is very narrow! There’s even a gap in the middle! Without insurance, are you trying to kill yourself? I’ll have someone go upstairs and hang a safety lock right now.”

"There's no time, let's do it now."

"Gu Gu! Wake up! You can't risk your life for a film!"

Gu Ming spread his hands: "That's easy. Just swing the safety rope from this window to that window and tie it there. It won't be visible in the camera lens. I can just hold onto the safety rope if necessary."

"You..."

Akio Jissoji almost wanted to hit someone.

There's no way we can make it in time!

He could only look at Hiroko Yakushimaru beside him.

"Hiroko, try to convince your brother! This is such a dangerous scene, and he wants you to run with him? It's too dangerous!"

Hiroko Yakushimaru didn't say anything, but just leaned closer to the windowsill and looked down.

hiss……

She felt a little dizzy for a moment.

Very tall!
"It still won't work, will it?"

"why not."

Gu Ming squatted down and took Yakushimaru Hiroko's hand: "It's only a dozen stories high, no one will die from a fall."

Hiroko Yakushimaru took a deep breath.

According to her high school physics.

That height is so high it could kill someone!

"Very dangerous!"

"It's not dangerous. If I'm going to fall, I'll just fall down first."

"That's not the problem!"

"What's the problem?"

"I……"

She looked at the narrow balcony. It wasn't impossible, really. It would be fine on flat ground, but this was a building with more than ten floors.

Gu Ming said, "Like this, I'll carry you on my back, and I'll run. You don't have to do anything."

"I still feel..."

After a long silence, Hiroko Yakushimaru looked at Tani Akira and said, "Take the picture, take the picture."

There's not even any insurance. If we both die, we'll probably die together.

Gu Ming then stood up and clapped his hands.

"Time is running out, let's finish here! Hurry up!"

Hiroko Yakushimaru's hands were shaking.

A little scary!

Akio Jissoji tried to dissuade him, but the crew members basically ignored him, so he could only sigh and go to make arrangements for Bunta Tachibana.

Gu Ming tidied himself up, preparing to carry Yakushimaru Hiroko on his back in front of the camera, and then escape through the window.

On the other side, Tachibana Bunta, after receiving Jissoji Akio's instructions, repeatedly agreed.

"So I am a policeman with a sense of justice." "Yes, you are a policeman with a sense of justice. After discovering the male and female protagonists, you realized that those people were corrupt cops, so you let them go in the end. In a moment, you will stand here, take out your gun and point it at the window. When they come in, they will be surprised by you at first, but after realizing that you have no intention of shooting, they will leave."

Bunta Tachibana nodded.

Isn't that great? Apart from occasionally accepting bribes to spend money in Ginza, he's generally a very upright policeman.

It should be counted.

"By the way, why did I aim at the window?"

He looked at Akio Jissoji, but Akio Jissoji had already turned his head away guiltily.

"Never mind that, look out the window. Let's begin!"

At the command, filming began.

Gu Ming carried Yakushimaru Hiroko on his back and jumped out of the open window.

It had already been stated that this was a height of more than ten stories, and at first glance it looked like a suicide. But when the camera panned, it was quickly discovered that Gu Ming was standing on the outside balcony.

The photographer, holding onto the trolley, moved forward along the predetermined route.

Gu Ming carried Yakushimaru Hiroko on his back and ran along the balcony.

Gu Ming ran very fast, his steps were like the wind, and even though there was only a palm's width between his feet, he was still single-minded.

Hiroko Yakushimaru dared not utter a sound, fearing it would affect the filming. She closed her eyes tightly, lay prone, and clung to Tani Akira's back.

The wind was blowing directly on her face, and she could neither open her eyes nor dare to open them.

After an unknown amount of time, Hiroko Yakushimaru suddenly felt her body sway.

"Did you fall down...?"

she thought.

But of course not.

Gu Ming landed through the window at the far end, entering the other side of the conference room.

Bunta Tachibana was stunned when he saw the two people flying in through the window.

At this moment, only a few words of Japanese remained in Tachibana Bunta's mind.

No way! What happened?! What happened?!
What is this!
No one could answer him.

The makeup artist rushed over and quickly styled Hiroko Yakushimaru's hair, leaving her makeup looking as good as before.

Tachibana Bunta subconsciously glanced out the window, then at the two people in front of him, and he was quite certain that there were no ropes hanging down from the roof.

His hands were trembling slightly, and then gradually his hands went weak, and he could no longer hold the gun, even though it was just a replica prop.

Akio Jissoji peeked over.

Wow! I never expected that Officer Tachibana, a non-professional actor, would have such outstanding acting skills!
After seeing Tachibana Bunta put down his weapon, Tani Akira carried Yakushimaru Hiroko on his back and walked past him, ending the filming.

"Good...Long live!"

Akio Jissoji finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"You idiot, don't film this kind of thing again, it's too scary!"

"It's okay, it's not that scary, I'm quite relaxed."

"Shut up, you bastard!"

There was a knocking sound at the door.

"Section Chief Tachibana, are you all ready? We need to have a meeting soon and we need the conference room. Section Chief Tachibana, please open the door! Don't hide inside without making a sound, I know you're in there!"

It was only then that Tachibana Bunta belatedly realized what was happening.

Gu Ming clapped his hands, urging everyone, "Hurry up, pack your things quickly, don't cause any trouble for Section Chief Ju. Section Chief Ju, you've worked hard!"

'Uh, hehe...'

Tachibana Bunta gave an awkward laugh and put the prop gun back into its holster.

That was terrifying, absolutely terrifying! We can't hire these guys to film at the Metropolitan Police Department again.

If anyone falls, he'll fall down with them!
Gu Ming pressed down on Tachibana Bunta's hand.

"Section Chief, you've got the wrong gun. This is our prop gun; this is your real gun."

"Ah yes!"

Bunta Tachibana wiped his brow: "Furutani-kun, let's discuss something."

"Yes, what's wrong?"

"Please send me a complimentary ticket after the movie is released. I really want to see what this scene looks like when it's filmed!"
