Japanese Entertainment: From special effects actor to action superstar

Chapter 586 I can't come anymore, I'd better leave quickly.

In Japan, it is often said that actors who perform in Taiga dramas are the real actors.

Whether it's a movie or a TV series, you're not a true actor if you haven't experienced a Taiga drama.

Gu Ming is now a true actor.

When Gu Ming walked out of the NHK film set, he seemed like a completely different person.

The Will of Fire flowed through his body!

This is called the inheritance of will!

"No, I can't come to NHK anymore, it's too scary! If it comes too often, I'll change shape!"

Gu Ming rubbed his face and shook his head vigorously.

I need to change my mindset and make a shift.

Tanaka opened the file folder and quickly found a suitable place.

"The crew of 'Kanako to Kanojo no Koi' is also nearby, how about that?"

Gu Mingyi glared at him: "What kind of terrible movie is this?! It doesn't sound like a good film at all!"

Tanaka, on the contrary, was surprised.

“Brother Gugu, isn’t this the script you gave to Mr. Jissoji? Yes, you provided the idea, and then Mr. Jissoji decided to name it this way after reading the complete script.”

Gu Ming scratched his head, then scratched his head again.

This was the beginning he gave to the Temple of Reality before he left. The resulting TV series featuring Meta elements was a relatively low-budget production.

After all, there were only a few people in a dilapidated apartment, so the cost was naturally not high.

At first glance, I thought it was a pornographic film.

"But isn't this naming a way of foreshadowing the future? Oh well, whatever! I might as well go check it out!"

Gu Mingxin said that it was fortunate that he did not mention another work at the time.

Meta elements certainly didn't originate from "Kimi to Kanojo to Kanojo no Koi," at least not in the works that Gu Ming knows of.

The earliest work he knew was a masterpiece from back then, "The Stinky Work".

That's right, it's a stinky mess...

The character of Chouzou clearly points out one thing.

You think I'm some kind of sleazy jerk? Wrong! It's not me who's sleazy, it's you, the one playing the game! Because you want to seduce those characters, you want to do unspeakable things to them, your mind is full of filthy thoughts, and you've done all these things. I'm just the embodiment of your disgusting will!

Although it's an adult game, the visuals back then really had a huge impact on players.

Gu Ming shook his head, still thinking about Meta Elements, and went to the set of "She".

Unlike the grand and expansive setting of the neighboring Taiga drama, this place is a typical example of small but beautiful, with exquisite details.

When Gu Ming arrived, filming was in progress, so Gu Ming did not disturb him and simply stood to the side.

The scene presented in front of the camera is strangely tense.

Higuchi Kanako, dressed in a school uniform, emerged from a television made of paper.

Before me lay Ryudo Daigo, slumped over the screen.

It looks like she's confessing her feelings, but in reality, she's hiding a sharp blade in her hand behind her back.

According to the script, she was there to kill Ryudo Daigo.

Because after these repeated cycles of time, she was certain of one thing.

She didn't love the person watching the videotape, but the person watching the television. It was the person sitting in front of the TV screen, watching the scene of Ryudo Daigo's assassination, and feeling a pang of emotion.

However, judging from Akio Jisōji's expression, he was clearly not satisfied.

"No, we have to stop for a bit. Even though it's a TV drama, it can't be too bad, right? Since the goal is to show the impact of your confession in front of the camera at the end, it can't, it can't seem so frivolous!"

Gu Ming greeted him, "Mr. Shishang Temple, is filming a headache?"

"Yo!" After a moment of silence, Shishang Temple stood up and greeted him: "The busy man is here. Did you enjoy France?"

"I've been back for almost a week, and I've already been on the show several times," Gu Ming said, shrugging.

France is a fucking fun!
Upon seeing Gu Ming arrive, the rest of the crew realized what was happening and bowed in greeting.

'Brother Gugu.'

“Furuya-kun…” Gu Ming looked at the male and female leads of the drama, Higuchi Kanako and Ryudo Daigo, and nodded in response.

"Speaking of which, isn't it pathetic that you use a TV made of paper?"

Jissōji Akio was furious: "Did you come back just to mock the crew for not having money? You should go back to France! If we had the money to hire Bishamonten, of course we would, but we don't have the money!"

“There are ways to make money.” Gu Ming gestured: “Use a large white light to shine from behind the TV frame. If you remove the screen, as long as the set is dark enough, you won’t be able to see anything around you. In the end, you can create the feeling of someone emerging from the TV.”

Jissoji Akio uttered a soft "yes" and fell into deep thought.

It works!
Gu Ming fiddled with the TV frame for a bit, thinking that the prop was actually quite realistic, looking just like the real thing.

Upon closer inspection, it is indeed true; a television was simply disassembled and placed here for filming.

Jissōji Akio looked at Tani Akira, then at the actor, and his gaze suddenly froze.

The look in his eyes—this time it was right.

"Furuya-kun."

"What?" Gu Ming turned his face: "Let me tell you, no matter how good our relationship is, I won't be making a cameo appearance in this drama. My salary is very high!"

"Furuya-kun, you're already very skilled, so don't get your hopes up too high! Even if you beg me, I won't hire you to perform."

Akio Jissoji tapped the camera.

"Could you please ask Mr. Furuya over there to keep an eye on things and see if there are any mistakes during filming?"

"I?"

Gu Ming initially wanted to refuse, but seeing Jisōji Akio's expression, he casually agreed.

It's not a big deal.

He stood behind the photographer, watching the scene being filmed.

Kanako Higuchi popped out of the television screen, stretched out her hand, and stopped her fingertips in front of Daigo Ryudo.

Just as Ryudo Daigo subconsciously reached out to touch her fingertips, Higuchi Kanako suddenly revealed the knife behind her back.

The scene was extremely brutal, but the footage only captured a symbolic image.

It's just a TV series, after all; there's no way it'll actually involve bloodshed.

But Gu Ming felt as if she really wanted to have a sudden enlightenment, and she brandished the prop knife fiercely a few times.

The prop master stepped forward and crushed the blood pack. Higuchi Kanako wiped her short sword and licked the ketchup off the blade.

Then, she looked toward the camera.

Gu Ming felt a sudden, inexplicable jolt in his heart.

Snapped!
Kanako Higuchi leaned close to the camera, staring intently at the lens. Through the viewfinder, all she could see was a horrifying image pressed against the camera, possessing a strange and eerie beauty.

"The troublesome fellow is finally dead."

"Na."

"Wait for me over there."

"They'll come looking for you soon."

Gu Ming silently took two steps back.

Jissoji Akio, however, clapped his hands together.

Okay, that's right.

That feels right.

"Furutani-kun, your timing is perfect! I mean, your timing is excellent!"

He stepped forward and grasped Gu Ming's hands tightly.

"Furutani-kun, why didn't you come sooner!"

Gu Ming glanced behind Jisōji Akio, where Higuchi Kanako wiped the prop knife and obediently handed it to the prop master.
