Japanese Entertainment: From special effects actor to action superstar

Chapter 480 Rare, can we reconcile?
In early June, the French tour group returned to their loyal Tokyo.

It's not convenient to make loud noises on the plane, but as soon as they got off, everyone deliberately started making a lot of noise.

There's no other reason, it's just that...

If they don't announce it loudly, how can others know they went to France for vacation?

I've already traveled around Shinjuku, Shibuya and Minato Ward, so I have to make a trip to Paris too!
"How's France? It's fun, isn't it? Hahaha!!"

"Paris is really nice, isn't it? I even bought some souvenirs!"

"French shirts, luxury items!"

"Seto-kun, what are you guys doing in Paris?"

Several pairs of eyes turned to Zhenxialong.

Zhenxia Long's gaze wandered, looking at the floor.

"We, we're in Paris, um, Paris is pretty fun."

He spent a month in Paris. For the first half of the month, he was taken in by an Indian masala and was cared for by his girlfriend. For the second half of the month, his girlfriend collapsed from exhaustion, and he took care of her.

The activity area was limited to within five kilometers of the hotel, and all three meals were provided by the hotel. I didn't get to try any local specialties. The hotel was very thoughtful in providing Japanese dishes to the Japanese guests who had traveled a long way so that they could taste the flavors of home.

In short, he didn't get to play anything!

Fortunately, Gu Ming did manage to win an award at Cannes, so the trip wasn't a complete waste.

Outside the exit gates, Tanaka's assistant and others were already waiting.

Gu Ming raised both hands, which at first glance looked like the French brothers raising their hands, but he quickly gestured his hands forward.

"Let's go, get off the station!"

Tanaka's assistant leaned closer and lowered his voice.

"A few things. First, Toei sent over the film's distribution plan."

"Secondly, Toei settled the revenue from the rations of sailor uniforms and machine guns ahead of schedule."

"Third... Okada Shigeru sent a message through Watanabe Ryōnori from the television department, saying that to celebrate the film's success, a banquet will be held tonight, and a mystery gift will be presented."

Gu Ming understood.

This is what reconciliation means. Since that's the case, Gu Ming also believes there's no need to continue dwelling on this matter.

"Finally," Tanaka's assistant said, "the reporters are waiting outside. Most of them are from various media outlets who came on their own initiative, and a small number were specifically contacted by Mr. Kadokawa. They will be wearing matching blue name tags. Mr. Kadokawa's idea is that, as long as the questions do not violate any rules, he will give priority to answering questions from his own people."

Gu Ming waved his hand.

Don't worry, your brother Gu Gu is a pro!
Upon hearing that there were reporters outside, the previously bustling and noisy crowd instantly fell silent, each with a serious expression, and followed Gu Ming out of the turnstile.

Sure enough, reporters were gathered outside, armed with long lenses and short cannons, which looked quite intimidating at first glance. Some of the cameras were even modified, which instantly reminded Gu Ming of the weapons that the first arquebusier, Ashikaga, carried when he defeated Taiko in the post-Warring States period.

Many reporters were also taken aback.

Speaking of which... everyone went to France, so of course they had to buy souvenirs. Although Gu Ming gave them shopping funds, they couldn't just use them however they wanted. Naturally, they had to prioritize buying suitable souvenirs.

France is renowned in Europe for its luxury goods, which have influenced trends across the continent. For men, the best luxury items are undoubtedly watches, suits, and the like.

then.

The moment the photographer raised his camera, a group of burly men in suits, gleaming shoes, and menacing expressions emerged from the airport gates. Their menacing aura stemmed from the fatigue of sitting on a plane for dozens of hours. And since they were action actors, the majority were naturally male; the occasional woman didn't look like a good person either. For example, Michiko Nishiwaki's acting range was enviably narrow; she was always playing either an Onmyoji or the widow of an Akuza boss, and with her hair tied up, she looked every bit the yakuza widow.

It wasn't until Tanaka made a hand gesture that everyone snapped out of their daze.

"Furuya-kun, what are your thoughts on the film winning awards overseas?"

"Furuya-kun, do you believe that Toei is controlling the Academy Awards?"

"Furutani-kun, about President Okada Shigeru..."

Gu Ming raised both hands and pressed them down, the invisible pressure gradually silencing the numerous reporters.

Only then did Gu Ming take a microphone from the nearest microphone and speak.

"I am delighted to receive this overseas award once again, bringing glory to Asia. As for Toei... I can only say that it's all fake. Ficonius doesn't exist."

Gu Ming picked up the accordion with both hands and said, "Toei is an outstanding film and television company in Japan. I have always cooperated with Toei's television division. We have a good working relationship and it will not change because of one or two things. I also believe that Mr. Okada Shigeru is an outstanding manager. Under his leadership, Toei will only grow bigger and stronger and create brilliance."

The reporters were all shrewd and quick-witted, even faster than Wallace. They immediately realized that the previous news could be withdrawn, as Toei had secretly reached some kind of reconciliation.

Since that's the case, no one will press further and will instead bring up other questions.

"Speaking of movies, I have a film on hand called 'A Violent Man,' which will be released in Toei theaters soon. This film has the support of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department and has a considerable investment. The scenes created in it are the most satisfying work I have ever done in my career. I hope everyone can look forward to this film."

A reporter wearing a blue name tag suddenly raised his hand.

"So, may we ask about Furuya-kun's plans for his new work?"

Gu Ming paused for a moment after speaking.

As for a new work, he didn't actually have any ideas yet, but of course Gu Ming wouldn't say that out loud.

"My new project is still in preparation and I won't reveal it to everyone right now. However, in addition to my own projects, our Extreme Action Studio has also reached some collaborations with other film and television companies, providing action actors and guidance services. In addition, I am already preparing a TV series."

The conversation satisfied the reporters' desire to get to the bottom of the matter and publish it in the newspaper. Only then did Gu Ming and his group leave, getting into cars and vans respectively, and go their separate ways.

Several reporters watched the convoy drive away, frowning and clicking their tongues in disapproval.

Weird, so weird!

The black Toyota sedan and the black minivan looked so uniform that they didn't resemble actors at all.

"These guys look exactly like the Yakuza..."

"Shh, keep your voice down!"

The person next to him immediately raised his hand: "Are you out of your mind! You dare to say anything out loud, aren't you afraid someone will break in in the middle of the night and hack you to death!"

Everyone fell silent instantly.

That's right! I should go back and focus on writing the report.

Inside the convoy, Gu Ming couldn't help but sneeze.

"Weird."

Gu Ming rubbed his nose.

It seems like someone is secretly praising his good looks behind his back!
