Japanese Entertainment: From special effects actor to action superstar

Chapter 493 I will personally guide you
The dinner party in the evening was quite lively, with both sides clinking glasses and exchanging toasts.

Gu Ming was sitting here when he saw Tanaka Noboru scurry over and sit down next to him.

"Furuya-kun."

"Yes, Tanaka-kun, what's wrong?"

"Although it may be a bit presumptuous of me to say this, would you, Mr. Furuya, be interested in making a cameo appearance or two in my film...?"

As Tanaka Noboru spoke, he himself began to feel somewhat uneasy.

Well, he actually knew it was impossible.

Gu Ming simply raised his hand and said, "Sure, of course."

"Huh? Really? Then, how much will you charge?"

Seeing Tanaka Noboru's utterly surprised expression, Gu Ming spread his hands and said, "No payment needed."

Noboru Tanaka:?

Is there such a good thing?

He was startled.

Local rumors say that Akira Furuya is gay because he often pats other people's thighs.

Could it be that she's taken a liking to him?
But Tanaka Noboru thought to himself, "He's already a man in his forties, how could he possibly be interested in me!"

Gu Ming raised his hand.

pia.

Tanaka Noboru suddenly felt a chill run down his spine.

"It's just a mutual cameo! To be honest, we're filming a TV series over there, and I'm just here to take a look. I wouldn't have a problem with acting in it, but well..."

Gu Ming didn't say it, but Tanaka Noboru understood immediately.

"If you don't mind, I can direct an episode myself, no problem. People from the crew can also make cameo appearances!"

Gu Ming had just put in a bit more effort and patted his thigh.

"That's good. Everyone, eat and drink well, and don't worry about me."

Tanaka wiped away his tears, thinking to himself, "It's over."

It's so late, I don't know if I'll have time to buy Vaseline.

……

……

Gu Ming will certainly not surpass Tanaka Noboru.

The next day, Gu Ming went to the film set. After all, the Ultraman Leo crew hadn't finished moving things yet and needed to get things moving, so he could take a look at the movie footage.

His screen time wasn't extensive; he was just a police officer who came to wrap things up at the end, witnessing Masato Furuya's suicide by hanging.

In short, it's just a cameo appearance for fun, and the police officer role won't affect Akira Furuya's reputation. It also seamlessly connects to the currently showing film "Violent Cop".

In this respect, Noboru Tanaka is quite good at finding roles.

"Tanaka-kun, you don't mind if I sit here, do you?"

"No problem, please have a seat!"

After finishing speaking, Tanaka moved his fisherman's chair a few steps away from Gu Ming.

I'm a bit of a fan, I don't want to get too close!

Gu Ming ignored it and focused on the filming process in front of him.

This is the climax of the film, where, in a fit of rage, Masato Furuya wanders around the village like an alien, hunting down families one by one.

The plot is quite suspenseful, but Gu Ming felt it was lacking something.

It's not just a problem with the actors, but also because of the filming process.

Upon seeing this movie, Gu Ming immediately thought of Alien and Eight Immortals Restaurant.

Gu Ming truly only recognized that actor who evoked that kind of manic and perverse feeling.

Regardless of public opinion, the perverted image was certainly spot-on. When I was a kid, I was too scared to leave the house for three days after just one look at him!
"Tanaka-kun."

"Oh, what's wrong?"

"I think there's something wrong with this. It's like this, your movie..."

Gu Ming hesitated, but couldn't quite describe the feeling. Finally, he slapped his thigh.

"How about I try taking a picture?"

Tanaka looked down, his face filled with shock.

How could someone manage to pat his thigh even though he ran so far?

No, that's obviously not the point. The point is that Akira Furuya said he's going to film a short clip to test it out!
"Furuya-kun, let's not go. Film is quite expensive."

Gu Ming nodded slightly, not seeing anything wrong with this.

After all, this is their movie.

Gu Ming was about to refuse when Tanaka Noboru suddenly spoke up: "However, it's not impossible. I heard that Mr. Furuya is also a killing formation master, and he has performed in many killing formation works in the early days, so it should be no problem. It's just that the scene might not be... very long?"

"It's okay, a few minutes will be enough."

Gu Ming stood up, rolled up his sleeves, clapped his hands to call everyone over, and also greeted Xiao Quan.

"Go, call the storyboard artist over."

"Storyboard artist?"

'Hara Tetsuo! '

"oh oh!"

Koizumi responded and jogged away.

Gu Ming then spread his hands and described the scene he had envisioned to the actors.

Amidst the raging storm and the turbulent night, Masato Furuya walked through the darkness, slaughtering the village. He couldn't just fire a gun indiscriminately.

“Masato Furuya, look, first of all, you decided to kill someone. For you, the change of mindset is just a matter of a moment, it’s not that complicated. All the changes of mindset have been shown in the previous shots by the director, so in this scene you should pick up the gun, carry the knife, and leave.”

Masato Furuya nodded.

He didn't dare ask, and he didn't dare say a word.

Gu Ming sat down in front of the fisherman's chair, resting his chin on his hands.

"So I think when the camera is on you, you should give the audience a feeling that you are determined to kill."

"In my opinion, good acting is not about having no trace of acting. If there is no trace of acting, the audience cannot tell whether it is good or bad. A good performance should give the audience a feeling in an instant and capture their heart."

“You can try doing that.”

Gu Ming lowered his head.

Just as the group was wondering what was going on, Gu Ming suddenly looked up.

In the dim light, his sinister gaze sent chills down one's spine.

After a moment, Gu Ming sighed wearily.

This was certainly not his own performance, but rather a forced simulation based on his powerful physical control and his recollection of similar scenes he had seen.

but.

even so.

Masato Furuya couldn't help but take a few steps back.

Scary! F***ing scary!
That look sent chills down his spine; he felt as if Gugu Ming was about to slash him with a knife at any moment.

"This gaze is called the Kubrick gaze. Kubrick was a famous American director who would create this unique gaze in the shot through the construction of light and shadow and the changes in the actors' eyes, hence the name Kubrick gaze. Masato Furuya, you should try it too."

"Me? I probably can't do it. I... I don't have Furuya-senpai's acting skills at all..."

Gu Ming suddenly slammed his hand on the table and stood up, looking down at Furuya Masato.

"What do you mean by that! What kind of expression is that? I asked you to act and you didn't, are you looking down on me? You want to get beaten up, you bastard!"

"No, it's not..."

Masato Furuya trembled.

I'm really scared!
However, just when he thought Gu Ming was about to beat him up like a storm, Gu Ming suddenly stopped.

He opened his eyes and saw Gu Ming smiling peacefully at him.

"That's the feeling, the feeling of being on the verge of anger, and then suddenly snapping and killing someone. Masato Furuya, go and try it."

Masato Furuya then raised his head and looked at Tani Akira, momentarily stunned.

So, is that right?

He seemed to understand something and bowed deeply to Gu Ming.

"Yes, Senior Furuya, I think I understand!"

That's the kind of mindset that comes with being on the verge of a volcanic eruption, undergoing a change of heart, and ultimately deciding to kill in a fit of rage.

This is exactly the role he plays, the image he should be!

Thinking about this, Masato Furuya was a little excited.

This is guidance from a Cannes Best Actor winner, which is quite rare! It seems having the surname Furuya really does have its advantages!
