Japanese Entertainment: From special effects actor to action superstar

Chapter 134: As An Nu's Action Stand-in

Gu Ming made a decision after a little consideration.

Whether it is a Trojan horse or not is a small matter. Let’s keep the person first.

Female action stars are very rare in the film and television industry. When there is a lack of a stand-in, even Eric Tsang can act as a stand-in for a female actor.

There are even fewer female fighters who can act and also be a stunt double.

When seeing Oshima Yukali, Gu Ming thought of another Japanese female fighter in Hong Kong at the same time, Nishiwaki Michiko.

Michiko Nishiwaki has also played many roles. She is often asked to perform in the zombie movies shot by Uncle Jiu. In the work "The Exorcist Police", Michiko Nishiwaki plays the Jiujiu School Yin-Yang Master and fights with Uncle Jiu through the air. That scene is also very classic.

"I think Nishiwaki Michiko hasn't started acting yet. I wonder where she is. I'll have to ask someone about her when I get a chance..."

While thinking about this, Gu Ming accepted the few people present.

However, Oshima Yukali said that she really came with a friend, just to accompany her friend to take a look, and did not want to join any agency.

"I still have to concentrate on preparing for the karate tournament! I have no interest in acting or anything like that."

"Really? That's a shame." Gu Ming said, "I was thinking we might need a female stunt double for next week's shoot. Oh, if a big director notices her and she becomes famous, I'd be so lucky. But it doesn't matter. We have actresses in the agency who are slimmer and look like girls. It should be no problem for them to make do!"

Oshima Yukari took a breath.

Oh no! This made her feel a little moved!
……

……

Wangu Film Studio.

Today Oshima Eucalyptus really came.

Although she is a student, she is not actually studying. She is concentrating on training and preparing for the karate tournament.

It is illegal to use child labor, but it is different when filming a movie. Babies can act as long as they are accompanied by a guardian.

Oshima Yukali's guardian is a karate coach in Tokyo who is also a Goju-ryu karate practitioner.

When the guardian heard that there would be remuneration, he naturally agreed without hesitation.

——Even though it’s only a few thousand yen.

The episode currently being filmed is the seventh episode of Seven. This episode is shot like a horror movie. The invading aliens are fugitives from the planet Hulaso and need to swallow gasoline to replenish themselves.

The fugitive Hulaso is running around like an alien, killing any Earthling he gets the chance to, creating a very terrifying atmosphere.

In the end, the fugitive Hulaso was burned to death because he consumed too much gasoline.

Seven has almost no role here, his only use is to escape from the spaceship in the end.

Of course, due to Gu Ming's participation, some modifications were made to the script, and there were some battle scenes.

What was filmed at this moment was the fugitive Hulaso using a diversionary tactic to kidnap 'Juliano' while the other team members were away.

Yulianu naturally had to resist, but was defeated by the aliens after a few moves. The aliens took Yulianu hostage and drove away the fighter jet.

However, Kanako Higuchi's body coordination is really hard to describe.

In layman's terms...she can't play well.

So I happened to use Oshima eucalyptus.

Gu Ming stood in the field, pointing to the place where the X was drawn on the ground, and briefly explained the set of moves.

"Right... You don't need any elaborate moves, because this guy is an alien. He doesn't have the same sophisticated moves as you, but he's just incredibly strong. Like this: you turn around and punch, but the alien blocks it. Then you duck and draw your sword, but it's snatched away. When you even try to draw your gun, the alien knocks you out with a punch."

Gu Ming said this while demonstrating some movements.

Oshima Eucalyptus had a strange expression on his face.

The aliens don't have any fancy moves, they just have great strength.

This must be referring to Gu Ming himself!
He didn't use any special moves, even the large outer garnish was useless, he just used a flying brick to knock Kurata Yasuaki unconscious.

"Oh, there's more."

Gu Ming specifically warned: "That suit actor is not a real martial artist, so be more restrained when you hit him! Don't hurt him!" It is common for martial artists to lose control of their strength when they act in martial arts films.

Shi Xingyu, also known as Kuli Qiang in "Kung Fu", once said that when he first arrived in Hong Kong, he had never filmed an action scene and didn't know how to control his strength, so he kicked an extra and knocked them unconscious.

Oshima Eucalyptus naturally didn't understand, but he still had the concept of hierarchy, so he just bowed to show that he could do it.

Only then did Gu Ming leave the set and made a gesture to the director team to indicate that everything was fine.

For this kind of shot using a stand-in, you basically have to stop after each shot. Use the stand-in when not shooting the face or the back, and use the real person when shooting the face.

Kanako Higuchi also enjoys the treatment of having a stand-in.

——The original is 5,000 yen, and the stand is also 5,000 yen.

The two of them together earn about one-fifth of Manatsu Ryu's salary.

It can be said that Wangu is quite stingy.

In a blink of an eye, the camera started filming. Oshima Yukali, wearing the UG team uniform, turned around and punched the fugitive Hulaso with his elbow and fist. This punch was indeed sharp and beautiful.

Gu Ming nodded secretly, thinking that he had found the right person.

For many shots, the results are different between people with solid foundation and people without solid foundation.

Oshima Eucalyptus's skills are indeed outstanding.

The filming was slightly delayed a few times, mainly because Oshima Eucalyptus was not familiar with the filming process and her face would occasionally show, so we had to reshoot.

After repeating it several times, the shooting was finally completed successfully.

Even the director team couldn't help but applaud and exclaim in amazement.

"This kid is really amazing. Even though he's young, his skills are really amazing."

I guess after this episode, Juliano won't be just a vase anymore.

Know to run home when it rains, know to eat when hungry, know to sleep when tired, and know to fight back when encountering aliens!

It's just that he can't beat the alien who is so strong that he can fly bricks.

"Well done."

Gu Ming casually encouraged the little boy Oshima Eucalyptus.

Here's a 5,000 yen pay.

"Is filming that simple?"

Oshima Yukali looked at the 5,000 yen in his hand and thought about what he had just done. Although he had to shoot it repeatedly several times, it was not difficult.

She was really moved now.

Filming is so easy, it’s not as stressful as training!
Looking at Gu Ming, she hesitated for a moment, and finally spoke.

"Mr. Furuya, um, what we were talking about earlier, regarding the office..."

oops.

Really fragrant!

Gu Ming laughed, but didn't point it out.

"Of course it's no problem, but you're only fourteen now, so it'll be at least next year. Before that, you can come to Wangu often to be a stunt double, and you'll be paid."

After thinking for a moment, Gu Ming added, "Don't delay your training. Try to win the karate championship!"

Oshima Yukali kept nodding.

She easily got 5,000 yen, which was easier than training. If she wasn't so young, she would have wanted to become an actor right away.

Isn’t this much easier than training?
