Japanese Entertainment: From special effects actor to action superstar

Chapter 448 Car Racing and Gunfight

The protagonist of this movie is named Ryosuke Gasai.

"Waga" is a Japanese surname; it doesn't mean he is someone's wife.

Ryosuke Gasai's younger sister is named Akari, Akari, or another name.

However, Gu Ming made a slight modification.

Yuno is also good, let's call her Yuno Agatsuma.

As a detective, Ryosuke Gasai is accustomed to using his Great Memory Recovery Technique, and car chases and gunfights are commonplace for him.

This character is somewhat similar to 'Ma Jun', the role played by Zhen Zidan in the movie "SPL: Sha Po Lang".

Of course, considering the time constraints, it should be said that Ma Jun resembles Ryosuke Gasai.

The movie "Violent Man" could not originally be called an action movie, although it contains many action elements.

More than action, this is a contemporary sword-fighting film filled with Takeshi Kitano's style. The fighting serves the plot behind the scenes. Ryosuke Gasai, who makes his way through the gang, eliminates the assassin and the gang leader, personally kills his sister who was beaten to death, but is eventually shot dead by the gang's number two.

This ending is full of regrets, and—not very satisfying.

Even in Japan, happy endings always have the upper hand.

Gu Ming had, of course, specifically ask the planning department to make many changes.

For example, some action-oriented designs were added, and a significant portion of the plot was also modified.

In order to gain the support of the Metropolitan Police Department to close the road, all the members of the Metropolitan Police Department are portrayed as positive figures in the story. It was Ryosuke Gasai who left the police station to avoid implicating other colleagues.

Although my sister was beaten, she was not sexually assaulted.

Regardless of whether the plot is realistic or not, the point is that it cannot be violated.

Of course, Ryosuke Gasai wouldn't shoot his sister; he'd have to take her to rehab.

Maybe a sequel can be made many years later.

Currently, Gu Ming has received joint support from the Metropolitan Police Department. Before the renovation of Qinghai Road begins, the crew will film the car chase and street gunfight scenes here.

For this part of the scene, there was no director; Gu Ming himself was the director.

On Qinghai Road, dozens of empty car shells were parked, meaning they were just empty shells without any internal equipment and couldn't be driven. Most of the cars didn't have their logos visible, only a general idea of ​​the model. Only the Toyota cars had their logos, because Toyota had paid them an advertising fee.

Gu Ming led the actors in the scene to stand aside and introduce themselves to each other.

"So that's the general situation. These cars are all parked here to create the illusion of a traffic jam, and the extras are walking around here just like usual."

“The cement mixer truck is parked here, and there are also cargo flatbed trucks. You need to drive here and follow the cement mixer truck closely. Then the two of us will drive over you one after the other, using the ramp for cargo flatbed trucks to fly over the cement mixer truck.”

After Gu Ming finished speaking, Gao Feng Keiji was completely dumbfounded.

Ugh!
No!

Furuya-kun, it's been so many years! Are you going to go all out with your movies these days?
"Furutani-senpai."

"Don't be so polite."

"Furuya-kun."

Keiji Takamine changed his form of address and said, "Furutani-kun, if I may be so bold, this scene might not be easy to film, right? Um, although I can drive, I'm afraid this kind of scene..."

“I know.” Gu Ming nodded matter-of-factly: “So, apart from the scenes inside the car being filmed by him personally, there will be a stunt double for the car chase scenes.”

"substitute?"

Keiji Takamine instinctively felt a bit of aversion to this word.

But Gu Ming shrugged: "You don't really think I'm so powerful that I could get the Tokyo Metropolitan Government to cooperate in closing Harumi Road, do you? Actually, Harumi Road is being renovated, and I only paid for a temporary rental for one day, so the filming time was limited." "If time allowed, I would certainly prefer everyone to perform the stunts themselves, but given the limited time, some harmless scenes will require stunt doubles. Besides, this kind of situation falls under dangerous stunts, and it can't be performed without a dangerous stunt permit."

Gu Ming casually pointed behind him.

"My brothers all have dangerous stunt licenses!"

As soon as Gu Ming finished speaking, several teenagers straightened their chests and raised their heads with pride.

Of course I have the documents!

Horse riding and racing are things everyone has learned!
Upon hearing this, Takamine Keiji said no more, but simply bowed and silently yielded.

Gu Ming then continued explaining the scene: "After that, these cars will be parked on both sides. We'll drive over from there to chase them. Gao Feng, you'll run from this side and cross over with the cement truck. Go under the cement truck. Don't worry, we'll use slow motion for the shot. You can slow it down a bit."

"After that, I couldn't catch up with you, so I shot and broke the padlock of the flatbed truck, put the flatbed down, and then I flew up from here... Yes, it was a real flying car!"

"Is everyone alright now?"

Everyone looked at each other.

There were originally some, but seeing how hard Gu Ming was working, everyone else gave up.

Please! He's the one who actually drives fast cars!

The greatest danger lies with him!
Of course, Keiji Takamine was also in danger, but the car chase scenes were handled by his stunt double, so he could only nod in agreement.

Seeing that no one had any objections, Gu Ming clapped his hands.

We'll go through the scene first to test if we can achieve the desired shot effect before we start the actual filming!
Takeshi Kitano, as the assistant director, was responsible for providing filming guidance when Akira Tani was on set.

Although he had filmed several videos beforehand, he was both excited and a little nervous when he actually sat in this position.

This is a real directorial work, not some low-budget videotape.

But at this moment, no one cared about Kitano Takeshi's thoughts. With a command, the scene began.

Between the two rows of empty shell trucks, several large vehicles drove by, with cement trucks in front and flatbed trucks behind.

With a loud bang, the sound and light device at the back of the flatbed truck exploded, and the trailer slid down perfectly, forming a flat surface.

Two stuntmen, one after the other, crawled under the cement truck and the other leaped across the flatbed.

"Okay... Click! Kitano, how's it going on your end?"

Takeshi Kitano nodded and gave a thumbs-up.

The image inside the viewfinder is very clear, no problem.

However, we can't watch the live replay right now; we can only see the actors' personal feelings and the director's and cinematographer's real-time control.

He felt that there were no problems with this part of the filming.

Gu Ming nodded in agreement.

"That's good. Let's film like this from now on."

Takeshi Kitano suddenly raised his hand.

"Furuya... Brother, I think the cement truck should go a little faster, so that when it goes through, it just barely misses you?"

Gu Ming naturally shook his head.

"There's no need for that. This scene is already exciting enough. It's not impossible to make it even more exciting, but a slight mistake could injure the actors. We can't really risk our lives like that! Okay, if there are no problems, then let's do it this way and start filming!"
