Japanese Entertainment: From special effects actor to action superstar

Chapter 148 Someone is behind the scenes
In just one week, things had escalated to a point where they were out of control.

The magazine seemed to be just an excuse, and Otomo Masaji soon disappeared. The most severe protest was against Mantani.

In Hiroshima and Nagasaki, protesters suspected of being self-organized could be lined up for hundreds of meters.

A person claiming to be a victim of Hiroshima appeared on TV in a tearful interview, accusing Wangu of not taking the victims seriously and exploiting them, saying that his heart was despicable.

Wan Gu went to look for Otomo Masaji in anger, but he didn't see Otomo Masaji at all. It was as if he had disappeared.

This certainly had an impact on Gu Ming's work. Yesterday, when he was returning home after filming, someone pointed at his nose and shouted at him in the car.

You are the one who doesn’t take the dead seriously!

Gu Ming also had a headache.

He is the leading actor, so the trouble here is of course related to him!
He looked at Shaqin, seeming to want to say something but stopping himself.

Fortunately, not many people know that he lives here, so it hasn't affected his life yet, only his work.

Seeing Shaqin's melancholy look, Gu Ming felt a little embarrassed: "I'm really sorry, I never thought something like this would happen."

"No, it's not because of this..." Shaqin knelt there, her eyes full of sadness.

"I never thought they would become like this after the right person left."

Gu Ming saw that there was something behind her words, hesitated for a moment, and then sat cross-legged opposite Shaqin.

"The right person?"

"They were the right people. They weren't like this at first. Back then, they really wanted to do something. But after that year's events, those who could do things, dared to do things, and did things well were either imprisoned or simply left the area to make a living and no longer participated. The rest of the people have all become like this."

Gu Ming could understand this feeling.

"As the saying goes, 'It takes three years for a scholar to rebel, but it's not enough.' If an organization lacks people who can actually do things, and only relies on those who talk big, it will eventually become corrupt. So sometimes you don't need to destroy an organization, you just need to destroy the people who can actually do things within it."

Gu Ming was quite surprised by another thing: "I didn't expect you to have participated in the 'Atomic Bomb Victims Association'."

Shaqin could only respond to Gu Ming with an indescribable smile.

To be precise, the Atomic Bomb Victims Association is one of the organizations that was once affiliated with Japan's Saeko Group.

Initially, he genuinely intended to repent and seek compensation for all the victims, but with the departure of the doer, things eventually turned sour.

She suddenly stood up.

"Sorry, I have to go out for a while. Furuya-kun may have to prepare dinner by himself tonight. I want to find someone who should be able to take care of this matter."

The father in prison, a former man of action, is one of the people who understands the talkers best.

Gu Ming nodded without asking any further questions.

"I'm fine here."

After seeing Shaqin off, Gu Ming couldn't sit still.

After thinking about it, I called the office.

"Ryu? Nijiamoto? Are you all right? I'm Furuya Akira. This matter is very complicated. I feel like there's a bit of conspiracy involved... Now Otomo Masaji has disappeared. If you can, please help me find out where he is."

Niemoto Tatsumi quickly said that it was no problem.

As a former Yakuza cadre, he still has a wide network of contacts.

It’s hard to talk about serious things, but finding someone is relatively simple.

Gu Ming talked for a few more words before hanging up the phone.

He painted a picture in his mind.

TBS power struggle.

Oto Yong.

Minoru Mizuno. Otomo Shoji.

Magazine.

Then, there are the infamous Suberu people.

The screenwriter and director of this episode are Mamoru Sasaki and Akio Jissoji respectively.

Mamoru Sasaki is also a well-known screenwriter. He is not a fool, so of course he will not treat the affairs of his own country as a joke.

But now that things have come to this, no matter what, it seems that this fact has been confirmed.

"Otomo Masaji! The key to the problem now lies with Otomo Masaji. We must find Otomo Masaji! Also, we must not give up on this matter."

Once an apology is made, the original motive is confirmed. Not only will he have to pay money, but he will also have to lose his reputation. Eiji Mantani has lost all his face.

This of course also had an impact on Gu Ming.

He is the leading actor!

Unlike Manatsu Ryu and the others who play supporting roles and use suit images, they are certainly not afraid of causing trouble.

It was too troublesome to think about it, so Gu Ming stood up.

It is probably impossible to shoot today, but Gu Ming has to go to Wangu to take a look, especially, he has to find someone to talk to about this matter.

Gu Ming didn't believe that such things would happen for no reason. The Suberu Star People were filmed in the drama last year. At that time, someone in Japan must have noticed the pronunciation problem, but it didn't cause any trouble at the time. But now it suddenly broke out because of an article in a magazine that was only published in the Tokyo area.

Even Gu Ming himself doesn’t believe that there are no ghosts here!
The most likely possibility is that it was due to the power struggle within TBS. Facing the broadcasting department, Oto Isamu used this method to ignite the topic and indirectly attack Man Gu and the projects hosted by the broadcasting department.

Gu Minglin was about to leave, but after thinking for a moment, he put on a mask.

He had to cover his face. As the leading actor, he had become somewhat famous recently, and it would be troublesome if he was discovered.

……

……

Outside the Banku Gate, the protesters had blocked the gate so tightly that even the patrol police were powerless to do anything about it. There were too few of them, and the police force in the Tokyo area has been understaffed for a long time.

As early as the Edo period, there were only ten patrolmen in the entire Edo area.

— The author is correct. I checked Japanese Wikipedia and found that there were indeed only ten patrolmen in Tokyo during the Edo period. Strictly speaking, there were fewer than ten.

Even in modern times, Tokyo has always been short of police force.

The only thing they can do is maintain order and prevent people from rushing in to cause damage or triggering more serious incidents.

The only thing that made the two patrolmen feel fortunate was that because the riots in previous years had been suppressed one after another, the two most troublesome groups in Tokyo had been arrested, and the remaining people were not able to cause such a big mess.

Kanako Higuchi was standing outside the crowd, shivering.

She is studying at a fine arts university in Tokyo, and filming is a part-time job. She has been quite happy recently because she is the heroine. Although she only earns 5,000 yen per episode, filming is not tiring, and the people in Bankaya are also quite nice, which makes her look forward to her career in the entertainment industry.

But now, looking at so many people, Kanako Higuchi really started to panic.

Do you still want to go in and film?

Judging from the situation, today's filming is probably impossible.

Kanako Higuchi was thinking about whether to sneak away and then carefully call Wan Gu to ask for leave.

Someone in the crowd recognized Kanako Higuchi and shouted immediately.

"That's the heroine!"

"Don't let her get away!"
