Japanese Entertainment: From special effects actor to action superstar

Chapter 138 Found it, Nishixie Michiko

Time passed slowly and winter came. The filming at Toei and Wangan was proceeding in an orderly manner.

A common practice has been formed in the judo straight line, and Tatsumi Nikamoto's coaching ability is also improving rapidly, and he seems to have some of his later dispatching abilities.

As for Wangu, because the overall tone of Seven's plot is still heavy, the ratings did not exceed that of the first generation Ultraman of the same period, hovering around 36% overall, which did not plummet as much as the original time and space.

Silver Mask has ended ahead of schedule, with more than 20 episodes just like the original series, and the ratings are higher than the original series. Fujioka Hiroshi has got new performance opportunities because of his experience as the main character. Although he probably won't be as famous as before, he has officially entered the entertainment industry.

Akira Moritsugu found a part-time job as a stagehand in Bankaya and would occasionally come to Bankaya to help, mainly in the special effects studio. When he saw Ryu Manaka, he would call him "Brother Manaka Ryu".

Gu Ming also bought a car, but it was mainly used for office activities. It was a small van, the kind that a whole van could squeeze out when the door was opened.

It's the weekend again.

It was a sunny day without snow.

Gu Ming rarely rested at home. He did not go to the filming or go to the office.

The room was too quiet and Gu Ming was a little uncomfortable. Not long after he closed his eyes, he heard the sound of Shaqin.

"Gugu-kun, there's a call! It's from Saria."

Gu Ming responded and went over to answer the call.

Yasuhiko Shoagaki's voice remained the same as always.

"Furuya-kun, I've found the person you were looking for! Nishiwaki Michiko, right? She's from Chiba Prefecture. She works as a bank clerk now, but she seems to be somewhat famous in the bodybuilding world. I think she's available right now, would you like me to arrange a time for you?"

Masagaki Yasuhiko added: "If you want to meet, remember to go to Saizeriya for dinner!"

This is exactly what Gu Ming wants.

Michiko Nishiwaki is a famous foreign female fighter in Hong Kong, on par with Yuka Oshima.

Unlike Oshima Yukali, Nishiwaki Michiko is not actually from the martial arts world, but from the bodybuilding world.

Michiko Nishiwaki initially developed her career in Japan, but she was not very famous and was often verbally harassed on the set. She was also often teased, with people saying things like, "With such a fit body, she must be able to hold her body for a long time when doing it!"; "Michiko is so fit, she won't be able to hold her body in a swimsuit," and so on.

That's why Michiko Nishiwaki went to Hong Kong later.

Of course, after going to Hong Kong, I found that Hong Kong is not much better than Japan...

Gu Ming originally wanted to go alone, but after thinking about it, he decided to call Shaqin.

Otherwise, if you meet a woman alone, she will inevitably be wary.

It is said that a bodybuilding girl like Michiko Nishiwaki is more confident, but Gu Ming seems to be more capable in fighting.

And he is indeed very good at fighting.

The small van rumbled along and arrived in Chiba Prefecture two hours later.

This is the good thing about Japan, because it is not a very big place and nearby places can be reached quickly by car.

I heard that it takes a week to drive across the Xinjiang River. In Japan, a week is enough to drive from Shikoku to Hokkaido.

Arriving in Chiba Prefecture, everything is very different from Tokyo, even though it is also part of the Tokyo metropolitan area.

"Gugu-kun has recently recruited some new people. Could it be that he wants to make his own movie?"

Although it was a joke, Gu Ming nodded seriously.

"I have that idea. Although the killing formation instructor is also very good, there is only one thing: it can't make a name for itself. For an agency, not being famous means no profit, and it can only have a small impact. So I plan to wait until this matter is over, save some money, and start filming on my own."

Gu Ming has some ideas, but of course, they haven't been written into a script yet. It takes time and money.

After all, there is not that much capital now, and all the money in the agency added together may not be enough to shoot a work.

Now he is looking for someone like Oshima Yukali Nishiwaki Michiko as a precautionary measure. After filming Seven, Gu Ming estimates that he will have some money in his hands. With the script and the reputation of the agency, he can apply for a loan and then shoot his first work.

Director Gu Ming has made up his mind and will find Akio Jissoji!

He is truly amazing in his use of the camera; children may not understand, but adults can!!
After taking care of the car, the two walked into the Saizeriya store in front of them. There was a signboard with Gu Ming's name at the door.

From a distance, Gu Ming spotted Nishiwaki Michiko in the booth. Her personality was so distinct, it was impossible not to recognize her. "No wonder she's a bodybuilding actress. Her physique is truly toned!"

Gu Ming couldn't help but be amazed.

Although he doesn't have eight-pack abs like in Attack on Titan, you can see obvious signs of exercise.

Saqin also took a quick look at Nishiwaki Michiko.

Her appearance is not as tough as Oshima Eucalyptus, and she has a more cold and charming feeling.

Her impression was indeed correct. When Oshima Yukali debuted, she was called the "Momoe of the bodybuilding world", which was used to describe her remarkable appearance.

Although she can't compare to those actresses who are famous for their beauty and temperament.

The few people met and sat down. After a brief acquaintance, Gu Ming directly explained his purpose.

"I've long heard of Xi Xiesang's reputation in the bodybuilding circle. Now that I've met him, I can see that he's indeed an outstanding bodybuilder."

Nishixie Michiko naturally bowed. She looked at Gu Ming and felt that he looked familiar. Then she thought of the sign outside and suddenly realized what was going on.

Oh!! It’s him, Akira Furuya.

This name has become somewhat famous in certain circles, such as killing Yasuaki Kurata with one punch.

Because of his celebrity status and the fact that he had brought a female companion, Nishiwaki Michiko felt somewhat reassured, but she was also a little concerned. "I've heard of you, but I don't know why you specifically asked me to meet you."

Michiko Nishiwaki could probably guess the reason. She felt a little nervous, excited and expectant, but she still didn't dare to confirm it directly.

Gu Ming didn't bother with so many polite words and went straight to the point.

"I think Xi Xie-san is more suitable for entering the entertainment industry. With her bodybuilding experience, she is a very rare female action actor these days. So, to be honest, I'm here to invite Xi Xie-san to join the agency."

Sure enough, this was the answer. Michiko Nishiwaki couldn't hide her surprise.

"If it's Mr. Furuya's invitation, then of course I have no problem with that! However, such a big thing might not be something I can easily decide. I'd like to discuss it with my family."

"No problem at all."

Gu Ming made a gesture of invitation.

Michiko Nishiwaki answered the phone and leaned against the bar to talk.

Gu Ming knew that she was probably talking to her brother.

Michiko Nishiwaki was actually a little fat girl at first. Later, her brother said that if she didn't exercise, she would get fat to death, so he took Michiko Nishiwaki to exercise, and then she became the fighting girl she is today.

After entering the entertainment industry, Michiko Nishiwaki relied on her fame to open several gyms in cooperation with her brother. She made many decisions after consulting her brother.

"So, what role can Nishiwaki Michiko play?"

Gu Ming was thinking.

Nishiwaki Michiko has a somewhat strange and cold appearance, which makes her very suitable for playing some evil female villains, such as female onmyoji. She is not so good at playing positive roles.

While I was thinking about this, Michiko Nishiwaki called back.

I just had a conversation with my brother. He was very supportive, and Furuya Akira has a good reputation too.

However, one thing was also told to Michiko Nishiwaki: if she wanted to perform, it would be impossible for her to start as a big star, and she wouldn't have a lot of money at the beginning, so she had to keep a calm mindset.

Michiko Nishiwaki is certainly very stable.

When he came back and saw Gu Gu Ming, he bowed slightly and saluted.

"Thank you, Mr. Furuya, for thinking highly of me. I have no problem with that. However, if I want to go to Tokyo right now..."

Gu Ming smiled and said, "There's no rush. After all, there aren't any performance opportunities right now. Chiba Prefecture isn't too far from Tokyo, so I'd better continue working as a bank clerk for now. Give me your contact information, and I'll let you know when there's a performance opportunity."

Just now, Gu Ming was thinking, there are very few female fighters, and even fewer female suit actors. If he could bring out one or two, they would definitely be big names in the Japanese entertainment industry!
