Japanese Entertainment: From special effects actor to action superstar

Chapter 452 He drove off, aren't you envious?
The most important scene in this drama is, of course, the final battle in the warehouse.

In the original storyline, the assassin Ace immediately shot and killed three of his men, which was extremely abstract.

The plot is incomprehensible.

First, the assassin shot his subordinate, who then fought back. The assassin survived and killed his subordinate instead.

It sounds chaotic, and it looks even more chaotic when filmed.

Gu Ming could understand what Takeshi Kitano wanted to do, but the filming results weren't good enough.

After a whole movie of build-up, everyone was waiting for Ryosuke Gasai to battle the assassin ACE! But in the end, the assassin ACE was crippled by his own men first.

The final battle was so poorly executed that it didn't live up to the expectations of the entire movie.

Therefore, Gu Ming should definitely change.

If it were the original 'Violent Man,' it would certainly be more suitable to appear on some videotapes for people to enjoy repeatedly, but now Gu Ming is not shooting videotapes, but a regular film.

By the way, Wong Kar-wai actually rarely loses money in his career. On the surface, his films all lose money at the box office, but he basically makes a lot of money selling videotapes.

Because his style is very suitable for repeated viewing in video or online versions.

The script has been finalized, but filming will have to wait until tomorrow.

Gu Ming glanced at the somewhat chaotic film set, then at Yakushimaru Hiroko, and sighed softly, "So you came here on your own."

Hiroko Yakushimaru nodded: "Let's take the train."

"Are there still trams this late? Even if there are, I'm worried about you going home alone. Let me take you home."

Gu Ming gave a greeting and asked Xiao Quan to be in charge of picking up and dropping off the other actors and equipment on set, while he himself got into the car.

To be honest, Gu Ming still doesn't remember what kind of car he was driving.

It's either Honda or Toyota.

Hiroko Yakushimaru didn't rush to get in the car. Instead, she looked into the distance and saw that Yukiko Shimizu's family had come to pick her up.

"Humph."

She blinked, gave a slightly playful look, then turned around and got into the car.

Yukiko Shimizu was instantly filled with question marks.

What!
I can't believe they offer this kind of service!

She also wanted to ride back in Akira Furuya's car!
Unfortunately, Gu Ming had already run away with Yakushimaru Hiroko.

Yukiko Shimizu could only silently shed two lines of tears.

hateful.

I really want this!
……

……

"I didn't expect you girls to get along so easily. You two seem to have a pretty good relationship."

Gu Ming gripped the steering wheel with both hands, his expression somewhat solemn.

It's infuriating that there's been roadwork everywhere in Tokyo lately, and there's been no concrete notice. Gu Ming is starting to lose his bearings.

Hiroko Yakushimaru, who was happily swinging her legs in the back row, suddenly stopped.

How can you tell they have a good relationship?
She really wanted to ask Gu Ming.

Brother Gugu, when did you go blind?
But Hiroko Yakushimaru certainly wouldn't say that; she simply nodded.

"Right? Actually, I always felt that you were a bit withdrawn on set, probably because you didn't have any peers. You should talk to everyone more."

Gu Ming casually remarked, "Speaking of which, you're preparing for your next academic year, right? Then I won't be asking you to act anytime soon. Focus on your studies."

"Well……"

Hiroko Yakushimaru couldn't help but purse her lips.

She looked intently at Gu Ming's face through the reflection in the rearview mirror.

Hiroko Yakushimaru said, "But actually, I still enjoy acting."

“But getting into a good school is also important.” Gu Ming continued without turning his head, “Actually, I have a movie idea that I want to make recently, but it’s still a little short. Once you get into a good school, I’ll find a few girls around your age, and you can make a TV series together, or maybe a movie.”

Hiroko Yakushimaru:?

Do you need to find a few more girls around her age?

How many good sisters do you want?!
"actually, I……"

She hesitated.

Gu Ming chuckled, "Actually, you're very happy, aren't you? Sigh, I can't help it, I just have too many ideas. It's a pity this film is for girls, I can't act in it. The action choreography will probably be done by Nigamoto, his style of fighting is more suitable." Yakushimaru Hiroko could only lower her head.

Dear sister, please don't come again! How many is too many anyway?

One of them is really infuriating.

Gu Ming said no more and focused on driving.

The first thing that came to his mind was 'Sailor Moon,' a classic that's been around for a long time, with manga, anime, and live-action dramas. Although some parts of the live-action dramas are a bit outrageous, if the designs weren't based on the anime and instead were closer to the live-action designs, it could actually be considered a pretty good tokusatsu work.

Anime is easy to say; Japan is a major anime producer.

Comics are more complicated.

Gu Ming didn't know who he could find to paint at this time.

Naoko Takeuchi is definitely not going to make it.

"What else can I do? Who else can I turn to? Hara Tetsuo? Uh..."

Gu Ming thought for a moment, then pulled out his transformation device and casually pointed at a beautiful girl who looked like Kenshiro.

"Your death is imminent!"

"I punish you in the name of the moon! You are already dead!"

Such scenes are beautiful just to imagine.

Asking Hojo Tsukasa would be even worse; if Hojo Tsukasa were to draw it, Sailor Moon would have to be renamed "Beautiful Older Sister Warrior".

"But a beautiful older sister is pretty good too, right? Oh my, who doesn't like a pretty older sister to bully me all she wants!"

Hiroko Yakushimaru looked at Akira's expression through the rearview mirror.

Although she didn't know what Gu Ming was thinking, she could tell at a glance that it was definitely not a good thing.

……

……

The next day on set, preparations were underway to begin filming.

As usual, the storyboard was drawn by Tetsuo Hara. Hara can't write stories, but his drawing skills are outstanding. This is mainly because he comes from a poor family, so he drew on scrap paper from a young age, which honed his amazing drawing skills.

Many works that imitate his style are not as good as those by Tetsuo Hara.

For example, the first part of JOJO is a work that imitates Tetsuo Hara's Fist of the North Star, and the human anatomy errors in it are obvious at a glance.

I drew the storyboard for today's shoot. Although it uses simple lines, it is still full of human tension.

Gu Ming took it and looked it over, and felt it was about right.

"Having drawn so many storyboards, Hara-kun must have a pretty good grasp of human anatomy and the tension of movement by now, right?"

Yuan Zhefu nodded: "Thanks to the Mongolian Google, I have learned a lot."

Have you ever thought about trying to draw your own comics?

Tetsuo Hara was slightly taken aback.

"Actually, I also know some friends in weekly comic magazines. If you want to draw your own comics, you can try to find them. It would be best if you have your own story. If you can't think of a suitable story, that's okay too. I can provide you with a story. If the comic you draw becomes popular, I will only take 10% of the royalties, apart from the copyright. After all, my main job is acting, and drawing comics is not my profession."

Tetsuo Hara couldn't help but widen his eyes.

Is this for real? Is Gugu really an angel?!

What does it mean to have an angel descend upon me?
Gu Ming silently turned his head away.

It wasn't an angel at all.

For example, licensed merchandise from Fist of the North Star can generate substantial revenue!

Pachinko from Fist of the North Star is also very popular in Japan!
If this were taken away, Tetsuo Hara would probably have to make a living drawing comics for the rest of his life.

"A comic book."

Without much thought, Yuan Zhefu nodded solemnly.

"I do have that idea, but I've never actually written it. Writing stories has never been my strong suit since I was in school. Um, if you have any stories, feel free to leave them to me. I'm sure I can draw some great comics!"

Gu Ming responded.

So, Fist of the North Star can finally be born, which is the pioneering work of Japanese martial arts manga.

"But you still want Tetsuo Hara to draw Sailor Moon, don't you! Can't I, Sailor Moon, just shout 'You're dead!'"

Gu Mingzhen felt regretful just thinking about it.
